from the Seller from time to time during the period from the date
hereof to the Facility Termination Date (in the case of the
Investors) and to the Commitment Termination Date (in the case of

(b) The Seller may at any time, upon

The Program Agent, on behalf of the Banks which own Receivable

Section 2.04 in additional undivided percentage interests in
the Pool Receivables by making an appropriate readjustment of such
Receivable Interests.
(d) The Seller, Investors, Banks,
Investor Agents and Program Agent intend that sales of Receivables
Interests made pursuant to this Agreement will constitute a sale,
transfer, and assignment of the Receivable Interests, for all
purposes other than tax, to the Investors or the Banks, as
applicable.
SECTION 2.02. Making
Purchases . (a) Each purchase by any of the Investors or
the Banks shall be made on at least two Business Days’ notice
from the Seller to the Program Agent and each Investor Agent;
provided that no more than 2 purchases shall be made in any
one calendar month (and during such period that the Collection
Agent is required to deliver a Weekly Report pursuant to
Section 6.02(g)(ii) or a Daily Report pursuant to
Section 6.02(g)(iii) an additional 2 purchases may be made in
any one calendar month). Each such notice of a purchase shall
specify (i) the amount requested to be paid to the Seller

referred to herein as the initial “Capital” of the
Receivable Interest then being purchased), (ii) the allocation
of such amount among each of the Groups (which shall be
proportional to the Investor Purchase Limit of each Group), and
(iii) the date of such purchase (which shall be a Business
Day). Each Investor shall promptly notify the Program Agent whether
such Investor has determined to make the requested purchase on the
terms specified by the Seller. The Program Agent shall promptly
thereafter notify the Seller whether the Investors have determined
to make the requested purchase and, if so, whether all of the terms
specified by the Seller are acceptable to the Investors. If, on the
date any Investor Agent receives any notice of purchase (and
provided that such notice is received by 2:00 p.m. (New York City
time) on a Business Day), such Investor Agent is aware that the
Investor for which such Investor Agent is acting as Investor Agent
will not make such purchase, such Investor Agent will notify the
Seller, the Program Agent and each other Investor Agent thereof by
the end of such day (which notice may be by telephone).
If any Investor has determined not
to make the entire amount of a purchase requested to be made by it,
the Investor Agent for such Investor shall promptly send notice of
the proposed purchase to all of the Related Banks for such Investor
concurrently by telecopier or e-mail, specifying the date of such
purchase, the aggregate amount of Capital of Receivable Interest
being purchased by such Related Banks (which amount shall be equal
to the portion of the initial Capital not funded by such Investor),
and each such Related Bank’s portion thereof (determined
ratably in accordance with its respective Bank
Commitment).
(b) On the date of each such
purchase of a Receivable Interest, the applicable Investors and/or
Banks, as the case may be, shall, upon satisfaction of the
applicable conditions set forth in this Article II and Article III,
make available to the Program Agent, in same day
33
funds at the Program Agent’s Account, and
Program Agent shall, on such date and upon receipt of such amounts
from the Investors and/or Banks, as the case may be, make available
to the Seller in same day funds, at the account set forth in the
Funds Transfer Letter, an aggregate amount equal to the initial
Capital of such Receivable Interest; provided ,
however , if such purchase is being made by the applicable
Banks following the designation by the Investor Agent for an
Investor of a Termination Date for a Receivable Interest owned by
such Investor pursuant to clause (i)(a) of the definition of
Termination Date and any Capital of such Receivable Interest is
outstanding on such date of purchase, the Seller hereby directs the
applicable Banks to pay the proceeds of such purchase (to the
extent of the outstanding Capital and accrued Yield on such
Receivable Interest of such Investor) to the relevant Investor
Agent’s Account, for application to the reduction of the
outstanding Capital and accrued Yield on such Receivable Interest
of such Investor.
(c) Effective on the date of each
purchase pursuant to this Section 2.02 and each reinvestment
pursuant to Section 2.04, the Seller hereby sells and assigns
to the Program Agent, for the benefit of the parties making such
purchase, an undivided percentage interest, to the extent of the
Receivable Interest then being purchased, in each Pool Receivable
then existing and in the Related Security and Collections with
respect thereto.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(i) none of CAFCO, Enterprise or JSST shall make purchases
under this Section 2.02 at any time in an amount which would
exceed the Investor Purchase Limit of such Investor’s Group
and (ii) a Bank shall not be obligated to make purchases under
this Section 2.02 at any time in an amount which would exceed
such Bank’s Bank Commitment less the sum of (A) the
aggregate outstanding and unpaid amount of any purchases made by
such Bank under such Bank’s Asset Purchase Agreement plus
(B) such Bank’s ratable share of the aggregate
outstanding portion of Capital held by the Investor in such
Bank’s Group (whether or not any portion thereof has been
assigned under an Asset Purchase Agreement), after giving effect to
reductions of the Capital held by the Investor in such Bank’s
Group to be made on the date of such purchase (whether from the
distribution of Collections or from the proceeds of purchases by
such Bank). Each Bank’s obligation shall be several, such
that the failure of any Bank to make available to the Seller any
funds in connection with any purchase shall not relieve any other
Bank of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make funds available
on the date of such purchase, but no Bank shall be responsible for
the failure of any other Bank to make funds available in connection
with any purchase.
(e) Interests in all of the
Originator Receivables originated by the Trane Residential Systems
Division of Trane U.S. in existence immediately prior to the
effectiveness of this Agreement (and all Related Security with
respect to such Originator Receivables) have heretofore been sold
by Trane U.S. to ASI Receivables Funding LLC pursuant to the
Original PCA and by ASI Receivables Funding LLC to CAFCO pursuant
to the Original RIPA. The Seller hereby agrees that it will cause
any Adverse Claim or other interests granted in favor of ASI
Receivables Funding LLC, CAFCO, or CNAI, as agent under the
Original RIPA, to be released on the date hereof.
(f) The failure of any Group to
deposit its ratable portion of any purchase pursuant to this
Section 2.01 in accordance with the Investor Purchase Limit of
its Group into the Program Agent’s account on the date of
such purchase shall not relieve any other Group of its
34
obligations hereunder to fund its ratable
portion of any purchase pursuant to this Section 2.01 in
accordance with the Investor Purchase Limit of its Group on such
date. Unless Program Agent shall have been notified in writing by
any Investor Agent at least two Business Days preceding the
purchase date for any purchase pursuant to this Section 2.01
that the Investors and Banks in such Investor Agent’s Group
do not intend to fund such Group’s ratable portion of any
purchase pursuant to this Section 2.01 in accordance with the
Investor Purchase Limit of such Group, the Program Agent may assume
that the Investors and/or Banks in such Group have funded their
ratable portion of any purchase pursuant to this Section 2.01
in accordance with the Investor Purchase Limit of such Group and
are depositing such sums into the Program Agent’s Account on
the purchase date. The Program Agent in its discretion may, but
shall not be obligated to, disburse a corresponding amount to the
Seller on such date together with the proceeds funded by the other
Groups. If the Program Agent disburses the amounts for any purchase
but any Group fails to fund its ratable portion of any purchase
pursuant to this Section 2.01 in accordance with the Investor
Purchase Limit of its Group on or prior to the purchase date
therefor, the Investor Agent for such Group shall pay to the
Program Agent on demand such corresponding amount, together with
interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is
disbursed to the Seller until the date such amount is paid or
repaid to the Program Agent, at the Eurodollar Rate. If the Program
Agent so requests, the Seller shall return to the Program Agent
such corresponding amount pursuant to documentation reasonably
acceptable to the Seller and the Program Agent.
SECTION 2.03. Receivable Interest
Computation . Each Receivable Interest shall be initially
computed on its date of purchase. Thereafter until the 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 day immediately preceding
the Termination Date for such Receivable Interest, shall thereafter
remain constant; provided , however , that from and
after the date on which the Termination Date shall have occurred
for all Receivable Interests and until each Receivable Interest
becomes zero in accordance with the next sentence, each Receivable
Interest shall be calculated as the percentage equivalent of a
fraction the numerator of which is the percentage representing such
Receivable Interest immediately prior to such date and the
denominator of which is the sum of the percentages representing all
Receivable Interests which were outstanding immediately prior to
such date. Each Receivable Interest shall become zero when Capital
thereof and Yield thereon shall have been paid in full, and all
Fees and other amounts owed by the Seller hereunder to the
Investors, the Banks, the Investor Agents or the Program Agent are
paid and the Collection Agent shall have received the accrued
Collection Agent Fee thereon.
SECTION 2.04. Settlement
Procedures . (a) Collection of the Pool Receivables shall
be administered by a Collection Agent, in accordance with the terms
of Article VI of this Agreement. The Seller shall provide to the
Collection Agent (if other than the Seller) on a timely basis all
information needed for such administration, including notice of the
occurrence of any Liquidation Day and current computations of each
Receivable Interest.

Interest and for the Investor Agents, out of the percentage of such
Collections represented by such Receivable Interest, an amount
equal to the Yield, Fees and Collection Agent Fee accrued through
such day for such Receivable Interest and not previously set
aside;
(ii) on each such date which is a
day following a Report Date on which a Daily Report was delivered
showing that (x) outstanding Capital plus Total Reserves
exceeded (y) the sum of the Maximum Percentage Factor
multiplied by the Net Receivables Pool Balance (as of the related

Accounts and Collections received by the Collection Agent on such
date, provided that the Collection Agent shall not be
obligated to remit Collections to the Cure Account pursuant to this
clause (ii) to the extent that after giving effect thereto the
amount on deposit in the Cure Account would exceed the Cure
Amount;
(iii) with respect to each
Receivable Interest, if such day is not a Liquidation Day for such
Receivable Interest, reinvest with the Seller on behalf of the
Investors or the Banks that hold such Receivable Interest the
percentage of such Collections represented by such Receivable
Interest, to the extent representing a return of Capital, by
recomputation of such Receivable Interest pursuant to
Section 2.03;
(iv) if such day is a Liquidation
Day for any one or more Receivable Interests, set aside on its
books and hold for the benefit of (and, at the request of the
Program Agent, segregate for) the Investors and/or the Banks that

Receivable Interests, the percentage of such Collections
represented by such Receivable Interests, and (y) if such day
is a Liquidation Day for all of the Receivable Interests, all of
the remaining Collections (but not in excess of the Capital of such
Receivable Interests and any other amounts payable by the Seller
hereunder); provided that if amounts are set aside and held
for the benefit of any Investors or Banks on any Liquidation Day
occurring prior to the Termination Date, and thereafter prior to
the next Settlement Date (Capital) the conditions set forth in
Section 3.02 are satisfied or waived by the Agents, such
previously set aside amounts shall, to the extent they represent a
return of Capital and have not been deposited to the Investor
Agent’s Accounts pursuant to Section 2.04(c), be
reinvested in accordance with the preceding subsection
(iii) on the day of such subsequent satisfaction or waiver of
conditions; and
36

required to be reinvested in accordance with the foregoing
subsection (iii) or the proviso to subsection (iv), release to
the Seller for its own account any Collections in excess both of
such amounts and of the amounts that are required to be set aside
pursuant to subsections (i) and (ii) above.
On any Business Day on which funds
are on deposit in the Cure Account, the Collection Agent
(i) shall, upon the occurrence and continuance of a Trigger
Event or upon the written request of Investor Agents representing

Report shall set forth the calculation supporting such
statement.

Receivable Interest pursuant to Section 2.04(b);
provided that , if such Settlement Date (Yield and
Fees) is not a Liquidation Day or a Pool Non-compliance Date, the
Collection Agent may withhold from each such deposit an amount
equal to all accrued Collection Agent Fee payable by the Investors
and Banks in each Group, and (ii) on the Settlement Date
(Capital) for each Receivable Interest, all other Collections held
for the Investors or the Banks in each Investor Agent’s Group
that relate to such Receivable Interest pursuant to
Section 2.04(b). On the Business Day immediately following the
delivery of any Monthly Report or Weekly Report which sets forth a
Pool Non-compliance Date as of the close of business on the last
Business Day of the preceding calendar month or Week, as
applicable, and on each Business Day thereafter until a Pool
Non-compliance Date no longer exists, the Collection Agent shall
deposit into the Program Agent’s Account, and the Program
Agent shall thereafter deposit each Investor Agent’s
allocable portion thereof to the Investor Agent’s Accounts,
Collections set aside pursuant to subsection (iv) of
Section 2.04(b); provided that the aggregate amount
deposited pursuant to this sentence with respect to any Monthly
Report or Weekly Report shall not exceed an amount such that, after
giving effect to the application of such amount to the reduction of
Capital, the Net Receivables Pool Balance is equal to the Required
Net Receivables Pool Balance.

(d) Upon receipt of funds deposited
into an Investor Agent’s Account, the relevant Investor Agent
shall distribute them as follows:
(i) if such distribution occurs on a
day that is not a Liquidation Day, first to the Investors or
the Banks in its Group that hold the relevant Receivable Interest
and to such Investor Agent in payment in full of all accrued Yield
and Fees, second to the Collection Agent in payment in full
of all accrued Collection Agent Fee payable by the Investors and
Banks in its Group, except to the extent such Collection Agent Fee
has been withheld by the Collection Agent pursuant to
Section 2.04(c) above, and third to such
Investor Agent and/or the Investors and Banks in its Group in
payment of any other amounts (other than Capital) owed by the
Seller hereunder; provided , however , that the
portion (if any) of such deposit withdrawn from the Cure Account
pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 2.04(b) shall
be first paid ratably to the Investors or Banks in such Group
holding any portion of the relevant Receivable Interests in
reduction of Capital.
(ii) if such distribution occurs on
a Liquidation Day, first to the Program Agent (if such
Investor Agent is CNAI) in payment of any amounts owed by the
Seller to the Program Agent and/or CNAI pursuant to Section
11.04(a) in connection with out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred by the Program Agent and to such Investor Agent in payment
of any amounts owed by the Seller to such Investor Agent pursuant
to Section 11.04(a) in connection with out-of pocket costs and
expenses incurred by such Investor Agent (it being understood and
agreed that the amounts payable under this clause “
first ” may, if the Program Agent so elects, be
deducted by the Program Agent from the amounts deposited by the
Program Agent into the applicable Investor Agent’s Account),
second to the Collection Agent (if the Collection Agent is
not IR Company or an Affiliate of IR Company) in payment in full of
all accrued Collection Agent Fee payable by the Investors and Banks
in such Investor Agent’s Group, third to the Investors
or the Banks in such Investor Agent’s Group that hold the
relevant Receivable Interest and to such Investor Agent in payment
in full of all accrued Yield, Fees and Liquidation Fee,
fourth to such Investors and/or Banks in reduction to zero
of all Capital, fifth to such Investors, Banks or such
Investor Agent in payment of any other amounts owed by the Seller
hereunder, and sixth to the Collection Agent (if the
Collection Agent is IR Company or an Affiliate of IR Company);
provided , however , that if such funds were
deposited into such Investor Agent’s Account pursuant to the
second sentence of Section 2.04(c) as the result of the
occurrence of a Pool Non-compliance Date, such funds shall instead
be distributed ratably to the Investors or the Banks in such Group
that hold the relevant Receivable Interest in reduction of the
Capital thereof.
After the Capital, Yield, Fees and
Collection Agent Fee with respect to all Receivable Interests, and
any other amounts payable by the Seller to the Investors, the
Banks, the Investor Agents or the Program Agent hereunder, have
been paid in full and any contingent obligations of the Program
Agent under any Lock-Box Agreement or the Cure Account Agreement
have been released, all additional Collections with respect to such
Receivable Interest shall be paid to the Seller for its own
account.
38
(e) For the purposes of this
Section 2.04:
(i) if on any day any Pool
Receivable becomes (in whole or in part) a Diluted Receivable, the
Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of
such Pool Receivable in the amount of such Diluted
Receivable;
(ii) if on any day any of the
representations or warranties contained in Section 4.01(i) is
no longer true with respect to any Pool Receivable, the Seller
shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such
Pool Receivable in full;
(iii) except as provided in
subsection (i) or (ii) of this Section 2.04(e), or
as otherwise required by applicable law or the relevant Contract,
all Collections received from an Obligor of any Receivables shall
be applied to the Receivables of such Obligor in the order of the
age of such Receivables, starting with the oldest such Receivable,
unless such Obligor designates its payment for application to
specific Receivables; and
(iv) if and to the extent the
Program Agent or any of the Investor Agents, the Investors or the
Banks 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, the Program Agent or such
Investor Agent, the Investors or the Banks, as the case may be,
shall have a claim against the Seller for such amount, payable when
and to the extent that any distribution from or on behalf of such
Obligor is made in respect thereof.
(f) Within one Business Day after
the end of each Fixed Period in respect of which Yield is computed
by reference to the Investor Rate, each Investor Agent shall
furnish the Program Agent with, and the Program Agent shall forward
to the Seller, an invoice setting forth the amount of the accrued
and unpaid Yield and Fees for such Fixed Period with respect to the
Receivable Interests held by the Investors and the Banks in such
Investor Agent’s Group.
(g) For the avoidance of doubt, to
the extent that cash is released to the Seller pursuant to and in
accordance with Section 2.04(b) and is subsequently applied by
the Seller to purchase Receivables under a Purchase Agreement, such
cash shall, upon the completion of such purchase of Receivables, be
automatically released from any security interest granted in such
cash pursuant to Section 2.11.
SECTION 2.05. Fees .
(a) Each Investor and Bank shall pay (which payment may be
satisfied by a withholding by the Collection Agent pursuant to
Section 2.04(c) above) to the Program Agent, and the
Program Agent shall pay to the Collection Agent upon receipt
thereof, a fee (the “ Collection Agent Fee ”) of
0.75% per annum on an amount equal to the Receivable Interest
of such Investor or Bank (expressed as a percentage) multiplied by
the average daily Outstanding Balance of all Receivables, from the
date of purchase of such Receivable Interest until the later of the
Termination Date for such Receivable Interest or the date on which
the Capital of such Receivable Interest is reduced to zero, payable
on each
39
Settlement Date (Yield and Fees) for such
Receivable Interest. Upon three Business Days’ notice to the
Program Agent and each Investor Agent, and the prior written
consent of Investor Agents representing the Majority Banks, the
Collection Agent (if not an Originator, the Seller or its designee
or an Affiliate of the Seller) may elect to be paid, as such fee,
another percentage per annum on the average daily Outstanding
Balance of all Receivables, but in no event in excess for all
Receivable Interests of 110% of the reasonable costs and expenses
of the Collection Agent in administering and collecting the
Receivables in the Receivables Pool. 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. So long as an
Originator is acting as the Collection Agent hereunder, amounts
paid as the Collection Agent Fee pursuant to this
Section 2.05(a) shall reduce, on a dollar-for-dollar basis,
the obligations of the Seller, the Intermediate SPVs and the
Designated Entities to pay the “Collection Agent Fee”
pursuant to Section 6.03 of the any Purchase Agreement,
provided that such obligation of the Seller, any Intermediate SPV,
or any Designated Entity shall in no event be reduced below
zero.
(b) The Seller shall pay to the
Program Agent and the Investor Agents, as applicable, certain fees
(collectively, the “ Fees ”) in the amounts and
on the dates set forth in a separate fee agreement of even date
among the Seller, the Program Agent and the Investor Agents, as the
same may be amended or restated from time to time (the “
Fee Agreement ”).
SECTION 2.06. Payments and
Computations, Etc .(a) All amounts to be paid or deposited by
(i) the Seller or the Collection Agent to the Program Agent
hereunder shall be paid or deposited no later than 11:00 A.M. (New

Program Agent’s Account, and (ii) any Investor Agent
hereunder to the Program Agent shall be paid or deposited no later
than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in same day
funds to the Program Agent’s Account.
(b) All computations of Yield, fees,
and other amounts hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of
360 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.
(c) The Seller shall provide the
Agents with prior written notice of any proposed voluntary
repayment of Capital no later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time)
on the Business Day immediately preceding such voluntary repayment,
provided that the delivery of such notice will not affect
any Liquidation Fees, breakage or other expenses payable to the
Program Agent, the Investor Agents, the Investors and the Banks in
relation to such voluntary repayment.
SECTION 2.07. Dividing or
Combining Receivable Interests . Either the Seller or any
Investor Agent may, upon notice to the other party (with a copy of
such notice to the Program Agent) received at least three Business
Days prior to the last day of any Fixed Period in the case of the
Seller giving notice, or up to the last day of such Fixed Period in
the case of an Investor Agent giving notice, either (i) divide
any Receivable Interest held by one or more Investors and/or Banks
in its Group into two or more Receivable Interests of such
Investors
40
and/or Banks having aggregate Capital equal to
the Capital of such divided Receivable Interest, or
(ii) combine any two or more Receivable Interests held by one
or more Investors and/or Banks in its Group originating on such
last day or having Fixed Periods ending on such last day into a
single Receivable Interest having Capital equal to the aggregate of
the Capital of such Receivable Interests; provided ,
however , that no Receivable Interest owned by an Investor
may be combined with a Receivable Interest owned by any
Bank.
SECTION 2.08. Increased Costs
. (a) If CNAI, any Investor, any Investor Agent, any Bank, any
entity (including any bank or other financial institution providing
liquidity and/or credit support to any Investor in connection with
such Investor’s commercial paper program) which purchases or
enters into a commitment to purchase Receivable Interests or
interests therein, any related commercial paper issuer of an
Investor, or any of their respective Affiliates (each an “
Affected Person ”) determines that (i) compliance
with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any
central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having
the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of the capital
required or expected to be maintained by such Affected Person and
such Affected Person determines that the amount of such capital is
increased by or based upon the existence of any commitment to make
purchases of or otherwise to maintain the investment in Pool
Receivables or interests therein related to this Agreement or to
the funding thereof and other commitments of the same type, or
(ii) an Accounting-Based Consolidation Event has occurred with
respect to any Investor and such Affected Person, then, upon demand
by such Affected Person (with a copy to the Program Agent and the
Investor Agent for such Affected Person’s Group), the Seller
shall pay to the Investor Agent for such Affected Person’s
Group for the account of such Affected Person (as a third-party
beneficiary), from time to time as specified by such Affected
Person, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected
Person in th
