conditions and indemnities to be performed and observed by each
Seller under and pursuant to the First Step Agreement and each
other document executed and delivered by any Seller pursuant to the

limitation , the due and punctual payment of all sums which
are or may become due and owing by any Seller under
the First Step Agreement, whether for fees,
expenses (including counsel fees), indemnified amounts or
otherwise, whether upon any termination or for any other reason and
(ii) all obligations of any Person (1) that acts as or
discharges the duties of the collection agent, or its permitted
successors and assigns (the “ Collection Agent
”) under the Collection Agent Agreement, dated as of
August 11, 2005, by and between Performance Guarantor, as
initial Collection Agent, and Recipient (as amended, restated or
otherwise modified, the “ Collection Agent Agreement
” and, together with the First Step Agreement, the “

Collection Agent Agreement as a result of a Collection
Agent’s termination as Collection Agent (all such obligations
collectively, the “ Collection Agent Related
Obligations ”).
Section 2. Guaranty of
Performance of Obligations . Performance Guarantor hereby
guarantees to Recipient, the full and punctual payment and
performance by each Seller and Collection Agent of the Obligations.
This Undertaking is an absolute, unconditional and continuing
guaranty of the full and punctual performance of all of the
Obligations of each Seller and Collection Agent under the
Agreements and each other document executed and delivered by each
Seller and Collection Agent pursuant to the Agreements and is in no
way conditioned upon any requirement that Recipient first attempt
to collect any amounts owing by such Seller or Collection Agent to
Recipient, the Administrative Agent, Funding Agents, Conduit
Lenders, Committed Lenders or the Insurer from any other Person or
resort to any collateral security, any balance of any deposit
account, intercompany payable or intercompany promissory note of
any Seller or any Collection Agent, or any other Person or other
means of obtaining payment. Should any Seller or Collection Agent
default in the payment or performance of any of the Obligations,
Recipient (or its assigns) may cause the immediate performance by
Performance Guarantor of the Obligations and cause any payment
Obligations to become forthwith due and payable to Recipient (or
its assigns), without demand or notice of any nature (other than as
expressly provided herein), all of which are hereby expressly
waived by Performance Guarantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
this Undertaking is not a guarantee of the collection of any of the
Receivables and Performance Guarantor shall not be responsible for
any Obligations to the extent that the failure to perform such
Obligations by any Seller or Collection Agent results from
Receivables being uncollectible on account of the insolvency,
bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness of the related Obligor;
provided, that nothing herein shall relieve any Seller or
Collection Agent from performing in full its Obligations under the
Agreements or Performance Guarantor of its undertaking hereunder
with respect to the full performance of such duties.
Section 3. Performance
Guarantor’s Further Agreements to Pay . Performance
Guarantor further agrees, as the principal obligor and not as a
guarantor only, to pay to Recipient (and its assigns), forthwith
upon demand in funds immediately available to Recipient, all
reasonable costs and expenses (including court costs and legal
expenses) incurred or expended by Recipient in connection with the
Obligations, this Undertaking and the enforcement thereof, together
with interest on amounts recoverable under this Undertaking from
the time when such amounts become due until payment, at a rate of
interest (computed for the actual number of days elapsed based on a
360 day year) equal to the Base Rate plus 2% per annum, such
rate of interest changing from time to time when and as the Base
Rate changes.

Recipient (or its assigns) in reliance on this Undertaking, and any

in making demands under this Undertaking, giving notice of any
Early Amortization Event (under and as defined in either of the
First Step Agreement or the Collection Agent Agreement), Event of
Default, other default or omission by any Seller or Collection
Agent or asserting any other rights of Recipient under this

stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in
effect or (ii) that arise under the law of suretyship,
including impairment of collateral. Recipient (and its assigns)
shall be at liberty, without giving notice to or obtaining the
assent of Performance Guarantor and without relieving Performance
Guarantor of any liability under this Undertaking, to deal with
each Seller and Collection Agent and with each other party who now
is or after the date hereof becomes liable in any manner for any of
the Obligations, in such manner as Recipient (and its assigns) in
its sole discretion deems fit, and to this end Performance

the following: (a) any extension, modification or renewal of,
or indulgence with respect to, or substitutions for, the

Agent Agreement), Event of Default, or default with respect to the

(d) any release, surrender, compromise, settlement, waiver,
subordination or modification, with or without consideration, of
any other obligation of any person or entity with respect to the

with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof; (f) the
application of payments received from any source to the payment of
any payment Obligations of any Seller or Collection Agent or any
part thereof or amounts which are not covered by this Undertaking

Obligations of any Seller or Collection Agent or to amounts which
are not covered by this Undertaking; (g) the existence of any
claim, setoff or other rights which Performance Guarantor may have
at any time against any Seller or Collection Agent in connection
herewith or any unrelated transaction; (h) any assignment or
transfer of the Obligations or any part thereof; or (i) any
failure on the part of any Seller or Collection Agent to perform or
comply with any term of the Agreements or any other document

Collection Agent or the insolvency, bankruptcy or any other change
in the legal status of any Seller or Collection Agent; (b) the
change in or the imposition of any law, decree, regulation or other
governmental act which does or might impair, delay or in any way
affect the validity, enforceability or the payment when due of the
Obligations; (c) the failure of any Seller or Collection Agent
or Performance Guarantor to maintain in full force, validity or
effect or to obtain or renew when required all governmental and
other approvals, licenses or consents required in connection with
the Obligations or this Undertaking, or to take any other action
required in connection with the performance of all obligations
pursuant to the Obligations or this Undertaking; or (d) if any
of the moneys included in the Obligations have become irrecoverable
from any Seller or Collection Agent for any other reason other than
final payment in full of the payment Obligations in accordance with
their terms, this Undertaking shall nevertheless be binding on
Performance Guarantor. This Undertaking shall be in addition to any
other guaranty or other security for the Obligations, and it shall
not be rendered unenforceable by the invalidity of any such other
guaranty or security. In the event that acceleration of the time
for payment of any of the Obligations is stayed upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Seller or
Collection Agent or for any other reason with respect to any Seller
or Collection Agent, all such amounts then due and owing with
