Receivables originated by it from time to time and the Buyer hereby agrees to

purchase from the Originator all such Receivables from time to time, in each

          (b)   Subsequent Purchases. On each Business Day following the Closing

Date until the Termination Date, the Originator shall sell to the Buyer and the

Buyer shall purchase from the Originator all Receivables originated by the

Originator which have not previously been sold or contributed to the Buyer

hereunder; provided, however, that the Originator may, at its option on any

Purchase Date, contribute all or any of such Receivables to the Buyer pursuant

to Section 2.06, instead of selling such Receivables to the Buyer pursuant to

this Section 2.02(b). On or before the date of each such Purchase, the Buyer

shall, upon the Satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article

III, pay the Purchase Price for such Purchase in the manner provided in Section

2.02(c).

 

          (c)   Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for each Purchase

shall be paid on each Purchase Date therefor as follows: (i) first, to the

extent the Buyer has available funds therefor, a deposit in same day funds to

the Originator's account designated by the Originator and (ii) second, by means

of an addition to the principal amount of the Subordinated Note in an aggregate

amount equal to the remaining portion of the Purchase Price; provided that the

Buyer may not pay all or any portion of the Purchase Price for any Purchase by

means of an increase in the principal amount of the Subordinated Note if, after

giving effect thereto, the Tangible Net Worth of the Buyer would be less than 3%

of the aggregate Purchase Price of all outstanding Pool Receivables at such time

(net of Collections that have been received on such outstanding Pool

Receivables).

 

          (d)   Subordinated Note. On the Closing Date, the Buyer shall issue to

the Originator a note substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto (as amended,

supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Subordinated Note").

The initial aggregate principal amount of the Subordinated Note (the "Initial

Subordinated Note Amount") shall be an amount equal to the excess of the

Purchase Price of the Receivables sold to the Buyer on such date pursuant to

Section 2.02(c) over $100,000,000. Following the Closing Date, the outstanding

principal amount of the Subordinated Note at any time shall be equal to the

difference between (i) the sum of the Initial Subordinated Note Amount and each

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, second, to pay the outstanding

principal amount thereof.

 

          (e)   Ownership of Receivables and Related Security. On each Purchase

Date, after giving effect to the Purchase (including any contribution of

Receivables pursuant to Section 2.06) on such date, the Buyer shall own all

Receivables originated by the Originator on or prior to such date (including

Receivables which have been previously sold 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)

fourth, to prepay in whole or in part the 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

the part of the Originator (whether as Originator, Servicer or otherwise) to be

performed under this Agreement or any other 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 security interest in all of the

Originator's right, title and interest (if any) in and to the following, in each

instruments, documents, agreements and opinions specified in Section 3.01 of the

Receivables Purchase Agreement, each (unless otherwise indicated therein) dated

such date, in form and substance satisfactory to the Buyer.

 

          SECTION 3.02. Conditions Precedent to All Purchases. The Buyer's

obligation to make any Purchase (including the initial Purchase pursuant to

Section 2.02(a)) hereunder shall be subject to the further conditions precedent

that:

 

           (a)   on or prior to the date of such Purchase, the Servicer shall have

     delivered to the Buyer all Servicer Reports required under the Receivables

     Purchase Agreement, each duly completed and containing information covering

     the most recently ended reporting period for which information is required

     pursuant to Section 6.03 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement and

     containing such additional information as may reasonably be requested by

     the Buyer;

 

          (b)   on the date of such Purchase the following statements shall be

     true (and the Originator, by accepting the Purchase Price for such

     Purchase, shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that):

 

               (i)   The representations and warranties contained in Section 4.01

          are true and correct in all material respects (except that, to the

          extent any such representation or warranty is qualified by materiality

          or Material Adverse Effect, such representation or warranty must be

           true and correct in all respects subject

 

                                        9

 

<PAGE>

 

          only to the materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualification set

          forth therein) on and as of the date of such Purchase as though made

          on and as of such date;

 

               (ii)   No event has occurred and is continuing, or would result

          from such Purchase, that constitutes a Termination Event or an

          Incipient Termination Event; and

 

               (iii) The "Termination Date" shall not have occurred under (and

          as defined in) the Receivables Purchase Agreement; and

 

          (c)   the Buyer shall have received such other approvals, opinions or

     documents as the Buyer may reasonably request.

 

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise specified by the Buyer

(with the written consent of the Administrative Agent) in a written notice to

the Originator, each Purchase shall occur automatically on each day prior to the

Termination Date, with the result that the title to all Receivables and the

Related Security with respect thereto shall vest in the Buyer automatically on

the date each such Receivable arises and without any further action of any kind

by the Buyer or the Originator, whether or not the conditions precedent to such

Purchase were in fact satisfied on such date and notwithstanding any delay in

making payment of the Purchase Price for such Receivables (but without impairing

the Buyer's obligation to pay such Purchase Price in accordance with the terms

hereof).

 

                   ARTICLE IV. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

          SECTION 4.01. Representations and Warranties of the Originator. The

Originator represents and warrants as follows as of the date hereof and as of

the date of each Purchase hereunder:

 

          (a)   The Originator is a corporation duly incorporated, validly

     existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware, and is duly

     qualified to do business, and is in good standing, in every jurisdiction

     where the nature of its business requires it to be so qualified, unless the

     failure to so qualify would not reasonably be expected to have a Material

     Adverse Effect.

 

          (b)   The execution, delivery and performance by the Originator of the

     Transaction Documents to which it is a party, including the Originator's

     sale and contribution of Receivables hereunder and the Originator's use of

     the proceeds of Purchases, (i) are within the Originator's corporate

     powers, (ii) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action,

     (iii) do not contravene (1) the Originator's certificate of incorporation

     or by-laws, (2) any Law applicable to the Originator, (3) any material

     contractual restriction binding on or affecting the Originator or its

     property or (4) any order, writ, judgment, award, injunction or decree

     binding on or affecting the Originator or its property, except, in the case

     of each of sub-clauses (2) through (4) of this clause (iii), to the extent

     that such contravention would not be reasonably expected to have a Material

     Adverse Effect, and (iv) do not result in or require the creation of any

     Adverse Claim upon or with respect to any of its properties (except for the

     transfer of the Originator's interest in the Transferred Receivables

     pursuant to this Agreement). Each of

 

                                       10

 

<PAGE>

 

     the Transaction Documents to which the Originator is named as a party has

     been duly executed and delivered by the Originator.

 

          (c)   No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to

     or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required

     for the due execution, delivery and performance by the Originator of this

     Agreement or any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, except

     for the filing of the financing statements referred to in Section 3.01 of

     the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

 

          (d)   Each of the Transaction Documents to which the Originator is a

     party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Originator

     enforceable against the Originator in accordance with its terms, except as

     such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,

     reorganization or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors'

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

     enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

 

           (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.

 

          (f)   (i)   The Originator has heretofore furnished to the Buyer and the

     Purchasers its consolidated balance sheet and statements of income,

      stockholders' equity and cash flows (x) for the fiscal years ending, and

     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

     reported on by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for such fiscal years ending, and

     at, December 29, 2001 and December 28, 2002, and in clause (y) of this

     Section 4.01(f) were certified by the Originator's chief financial officer.

     Such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the

     financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the

     Originator and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates and for such

     periods in conformity with GAAP, subject to year-end audit adjustments and

     the absence of footnotes in the case of the statements referred to in

     clause (y) above of this Section 4.01(f). The Originator has heretofore

     also furnished to the Purchasers its unaudited pro forma condensed

     consolidated statement of income, for its fiscal year ended December 28,

     2002, and for its fiscal quarter ended March 29, 2003 and its unaudited pro

     forma condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 29, 2003. Such pro

     forma financial statements comply, in all material respects, with the

     requirements of Article XI of Regulation S-X of the SEC.

 

               (ii)   Since December 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

     Officers, threatened against or affecting the Originator or any of its

     Subsidiaries that (i) would reasonably be expected to

 

                                       11

 

<PAGE>

 

     be adversely 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.

 

          (h)   No proceeds of any 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.

 

          (i)   No transaction contemplated hereby requires compliance with any

     bulk sales act or similar law.

 

          (j)   Immediately prior to each Purchase of Receivables hereunder, the

     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 Buyer has acquired a valid and perfected first priority

     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 to
