Price .
(i) The Purchase Price for
each Purchase of Assets and Related Property that are in existence
on the Initial Cutoff Date shall be payable in full by the
Purchaser to the Originator on the Initial Purchase Date, and shall

(A) first , by
delivery of immediately available funds, to the extent of funds
made available to the Purchaser in connection with a sale of Asset
Interests under the Purchase Agreement or other cash on hand;
and
(B) second , by
accepting such Assets and Related Property (or the relevant portion
thereof) as a capital contribution to the Purchaser’s capital
in an amount equal to the remaining unpaid balance of such Purchase
Price.
(ii) Each Asset, and the
Related Property with respect thereto, coming into existence or
acquired after the Initial Cutoff Date shall be sold or contributed
to the Purchaser on the Business Day immediately following the day
such Asset was originated or acquired by the Originator and the
Purchase Price for such Asset and Related Property shall be due and
owing in full by the Purchaser to the Originator on such Business

by the Originator to the Purchaser hereunder and which have become
due but remain unpaid) and shall be paid to the Originator in the
following manner:
(A) first , by
delivery of immediately available funds, to the extent of funds
made available to the Purchaser in connection with a sale of Asset
Interests under the Purchase Agreement or other cash on hand;

Asset and Related Property (or the relevant portion thereof) as a
contribution to the Purchaser’s capital in an amount equal to
the remaining unpaid balance of such Purchase Price;
provided , that no such capital contribution shall be made
from and after the Facility Termination Date.
(d) Settlement of Purchase
Price . Although the Purchase Price for each Asset, and the
Related Property with respect thereto, coming into existence or
acquired after the Initial Cutoff Date shall be paid in full by the
Purchaser to the Originator on the date such Asset and Related
Property is purchased, a precise reconciliation of the Purchase
Price between the Purchaser and the Originator shall be effected on
each Weekly Settlement Date with respect to all Assets and Related
Property transferred during the calendar week most recently ended
prior to such Weekly Settlement Date and based on the information
contained in the Asset Interest Report most recently delivered by

W AREHOUSE L
OAN S ALE A
GREEMENT

calendar week. Although such
reconciliation shall be effected on Weekly Settlement Dates, any
contribution of capital by the Originator to Purchaser made
pursuant to Section 2.02(c) shall be deemed to have occurred
and shall be effective as of the date that the Purchase Price is
paid.
(e) Capital
Contributions . Each contribution of an Asset and Related
Property by the Originator to the Purchaser shall be deemed to be a
Purchase of such Asset and Related Property by the Purchaser for
all purposes of this Agreement. The Purchaser hereby acknowledges
that the Originator shall have no obligation to make further
capital contributions to the Purchaser, in respect of the
Originator’s equity interest in the Purchaser or otherwise,
in order to provide funds to pay the Purchase Price to the
Originator under this Agreement or for any other reason.
(f) Ownership of Assets
and Related Property . On each Purchase Date, after giving

Assets originated or acquired by the Originator as of the close of
business on the Business Day immediately prior thereto (including
Assets which have been previously sold to the Purchaser hereunder)
and all other Related Property with respect thereto. Each sale of
Assets and Related Property hereunder is made without recourse;
provided, however , that (i) the Originator shall be liable
to the Purchaser for all representations, warranties and covenants
made by the Originator hereunder and (ii) such sale does not
constitute and is not intended to constitute an assumption by the
Purchaser or its assignee thereof of the Originator or other Person
arising in connection with the Transferred Assets or Related
Property or any other obligations or liabilities of the
Originator.
(g) Intention is an
Irrevocable Transfer; Grant of Security Interest . It is the
intention of the parties hereto that each Purchase to be made
hereunder shall be absolute and irrevocable and will provide the
Purchaser with the full risks and benefits of ownership of the
Transferred Assets and Related Property so purchased (such that the
Transferred Assets and Related Property would not constitute
property of the Originator’s estate in the event of the
Originator’s bankruptcy or receivership) and shall constitute
a “sale” of “payment intangibles” as such
terms are used in Article 9 of the UCC of the State of New York, to
the extent applicable, and not a loan secured by such Transferred
Assets and Related Property. In the event that, contrary to the
mutual intent of the Originator and the Purchaser, any Purchase of
Transferred Assets and Related Property hereunder is not
characterized as a sale but rather as a collateral transfer for
security (or the transactions contemplated hereby are characterized
as a financing transaction), it is the intent of the parties hereto
that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under
applicable law and that such Purchase shall be deemed to be a
secured financing, secured by a security interest in all of the
Originator’s right, title and interest now or hereafter
existing and hereafter arising in, to and under all Transferred
Assets and Related Property and all Proceeds thereof (collectively,
the “ Originator Collateral ”). In addition to
and not in limitation of any other rights acquired by the Purchaser
hereunder, the Originator hereby grants to the Purchaser a security
interest in all of the Originator’s right, title and interest
now or hereafter existing in, to and under the Originator
Collateral to secure the repayment of all amounts due and owing by
the Originator to the Purchaser hereunder with accrued interest
thereon, if applicable, whether now or hereafter existing, due or
to become due, direct or indirect, or absolute or contingent (such
amounts the “ Secured Obligations ”).

SECTION 2.03.
Collections .

Purchaser or the Purchaser’s assignee, the Originator shall
notify the Servicer who shall so advise the Purchaser and, on the
Business Day following such identification, the Purchaser shall
remit, or shall cause to be remitted, all funds so deposited which
are identified to the Purchaser’s satisfaction to the
Originator.
(b) If on any day any
Transferred Asset becomes (in whole or in part) a Diluted Asset,

Collection of such Transferred Asset in the amount of such Diluted
Asset. The Originator shall pay to the Purchaser on or prior to the
next Business Day all amounts deemed to have been received pursuant
to this subsection.
(c) Upon discovery by the
Originator or the Purchaser of any breach of the representation and
warranty made in Section 3.01(j) with respect to any
Transferred Asset, the party discovering the same shall give prompt
written notice thereof to the other parties hereto. The Originator
shall, on the Business Day following such notice, repurchase the
affected Transferred Asset, at the option of the Originator, either
(i) by making a cash payment to the Purchaser in an amount equal to
the Repurchase Price (defined below), or (ii) so long as no
“Event of Termination” under, and as defined in, the
Purchase Agreement has occurred, and no Asset Interest Excess
exists under (and as defined in) the Purchase Agreement, by
transferring ownership of a new Eligible Asset to the Purchaser on
such Business Day having an Outstanding Balance at least equal to
the Repurchase Price. The “ Repurchase Price ”
for any Transferred Asset to be repurchased under this Section
2.03(c) shall equal the Purchase Price paid for such Asset by the
Purchaser minus Collections received in respect thereof
minus any payments or offsets made by the Originator to the
Purchaser in respect of Deemed Collections relating to such
Transferred Asset. Simultaneously upon the payment to the
Purchaser, or transfer to the Purchaser of Eligible Assets in
respect of, the Repurchase Price for any such repurchased
Transferred Asset, such Transferred Asset and all Related Property
relating solely to such Transferred Asset shall automatically be
reconveyed by the Purchaser to the Originator without any further
action by the Purchaser or any other Person, and the Purchaser
shall have no further rights with respect thereto. Each party
hereto shall, at the Originator’s expense, take any action
the other party may reasonably request to further evidence such
reconveyance. The Originator
