NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above, and other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
PURCHASE ARRANGEMENTS

Section 1.1 Purchase Facility.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, Seller may, at its option, sell and assign Purchaser Interests to the Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers by delivering a Purchase Notice to the Agent and the Funding Agents in accordance with Section 1.2. In accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein during the period from the date hereof to but not including the Facility Termination Date, each Conduit may in its sole discretion, instruct its related Funding Agent to cause the Agent to purchase on its behalf Purchaser Interests offered for sale from time to time hereunder, and, each Committed Purchaser shall, if the Conduit in its related Purchaser Group elects not to, instruct its related Funding Agent to cause the Agent to purchase on its behalf Purchaser Interests from time to time, in an amount, for each Purchaser Group, equal to its Percentage of the Purchaser Interests then offered for sale by the Seller; provided, however, that no Purchaser shall purchase any Purchaser Interests if, after giving effect to the purchase thereof:

(i) the aggregate Capital of the Purchaser Interests held by such Purchaser hereunder shall exceed its Conduit Purchase Limit (in the case of a Conduit) or Commitment (in the case of a Committed Purchaser);

(ii) the aggregate Capital of the Purchaser Interests held by the Purchasers in any Purchaser Group exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Committed Purchasers in such Purchaser Group;

(iii) the Aggregate Capital shall exceed the Purchase Limit; or

(iv) the Purchaser Interests shall exceed 100%.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any Committed Purchaser fails to agree to an extension of the Liquidity Termination Date in accordance with Section 1.5 hereof, (i) such Committed Purchaser shall fund such Committed Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share of the Purchase Price for such Purchaser Interest by making a Term-out Period Account Funded Incremental Purchase and (ii) the Conduits in such Committed Purchaser’s Purchaser Group shall not make any Incremental Purchases after the then existing Scheduled Liquidity Termination Date if after giving effect thereto the aggregate Capital of all Purchaser Interests of such Conduits would exceed an amount equal to (i) the applicable Purchaser Group Purchase Limit, minus (ii) the Commitment of the Non-Renewing Committed Purchaser.

(c) Seller may, upon at least thirty (30) days’ notice to the Funding Agents, terminate in whole or reduce in part, ratably among the Purchaser Groups in accordance with their respective Percentages (and within each Purchaser Group, ratably among the Committed Purchasers in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares), the unused portion of the Purchase Limit; provided, that each partial reduction of the Purchase Limit shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof.

Section 1.2 Increases.

(a) Seller shall provide the Funding Agents with prior notice in the form set forth as Exhibit II hereto of each Incremental Purchase (a “Purchase Notice”) by 2:00 p.m. (Chicago time), at least two (2) Business Days prior to the requested date of such Incremental Purchase. Each Purchase Notice shall be subject to Section 6.2 hereof and, except as set forth below, shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested Purchase Price and each Purchaser Group’s Percentage thereof (which shall not be less than $1,000,000 or a larger integral multiple of $100,000) and date of purchase (which shall be a Business Day) and, in the event all or a portion of such Incremental Purchase is to be funded by one or more Committed Purchasers, the requested Discount Rate and Tranche Period; provided, however, that not more than five (5) Purchase Notices may be delivered in any one calendar month and not more than one (1) unfunded Purchase Notice may be outstanding at any one time. Following its receipt of a Purchase Notice, each Funding Agent will determine whether the Conduits in its related Purchaser Group will participate in such Incremental Purchase. If a Conduit declines to participate in a proposed Incremental Purchase, the related Funding Agent shall promptly notify Seller and the Master Servicer of such fact, and Seller may thereupon cancel the Purchase Notice as to all Purchaser Groups or, in the absence of such a cancellation, the Incremental Purchase of the Purchaser Interest will be made by the Committed Purchasers in the related Purchaser Group ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. On the date of each Incremental Purchase, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article VI, each Conduit or Committed Purchaser, as applicable, shall deposit to an account specified by its Funding Agent, for transfer to the Facility Account, in immediately available funds, no later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time), an amount equal to (i) in the case of a Conduit, its Purchaser Group’s Percentage of the aggregate Purchase Price of the Purchaser Interests or (ii) in the case of a Committed Purchaser, such Committed Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share of its Purchaser Group’s Percentage of the aggregate Purchase Price of the Purchaser Interests being purchased by the Committed Purchasers in such Purchaser Group.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the date hereof, Three Pillars Funding LLC shall pay to Falcon Asset Securitization Company LLC, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to JPMorgan to Account Number [       ], Account Name: Falcon Asset Sec LLC, [                  ], an amount equal to $33,333,333.33, so that, after giving effect to such payment and the addition of the Purchaser Group for which SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. acts as Funding Agent, the funding by the Purchaser Groups of any Incremental Purchase to be made on the date hereof and any reduction to the Aggregate Capital on the date hereof, each Purchaser Group shall have funded its respective Percentage of the Aggregate Capital on the date hereof.

Section 1.3 Decreases. Seller shall provide the Funding Agents with prior written notice in conformity with the Required Notice Period (a “Reduction Notice”) of any proposed reduction of Aggregate Capital from Collections. Such Reduction Notice shall designate (i) the date (the “Proposed Reduction Date”) upon which any such reduction of Aggregate Capital shall occur (which date shall give effect to the applicable Required Notice Period), and (ii) the amount of Aggregate Capital to be reduced (the “Aggregate Reduction”) which shall be applied ratably to the Purchaser Interests of the Purchaser Groups in accordance with the amount of Capital owing to each Purchaser Group (and within each Purchaser Group, ratably among the Purchasers, in accordance with the amount of Capital owing to each Purchaser in such Purchaser Group). Only one (1) Reduction Notice shall be outstanding at any time.

Section 1.4 Payment Requirements. All amounts to be paid or deposited by any Seller Party pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the day when due in immediately available funds, and if not received before 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) shall be deemed to be received on the next succeeding Business Day. If such amounts are payable to a Purchaser they shall be paid to the applicable Funding Agent, for the account of such Purchaser, in accordance with the wire instructions set forth on Schedule B hereto for such Funding Agent, until otherwise notified by such Funding Agent. Upon notice to Seller, the Agent may debit the Facility Account for all amounts due and payable hereunder. Except for computations of Yield or Default Fee based on the Prime Rate, all computations of Yield, per annum fees calculated as part of any CP Costs, per annum fees hereunder and per annum fees under the Fee Letter shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed. All computations of Yield or Default Fee based on the Prime Rate shall be computed for actual days elapsed on the basis of a year consisting of 365 (or 366, as applicable) days. If any amount hereunder shall be payable on a day which is not a Business Day, such amount shall be payable on the next succeeding Business Day.

Section 1.5 Term-Out Provisions.

(a) Extension of Term. The Seller may, at any time during the period which is no more than ninety (90) days or less than sixty (60) days immediately preceding the Liquidity Termination Date (as such date may have previously been extended pursuant to this Section 1.5), request that the then applicable Liquidity Termination Date be extended for up to an additional 180 days. Any such request shall be in writing and delivered to the Agent (which shall be promptly forwarded by the Agent to each Funding Agent), and shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) no Committed Purchaser shall have an obligation to extend the Liquidity Termination Date at any time, and (ii) any such extension with respect to any Committed Purchaser shall be effective only upon the written agreement of the Agent, the applicable Funding Agent, such Committed Purchaser, the Seller and the Master Servicer. Each Funding Agent shall respond to any such request on behalf of the Committed Purchasers in its Purchaser Group no later than the fifteenth (15^th) day prior to the Liquidity Termination Date (the “Response Deadline”) and a failure by any Funding Agent to respond by the Response Deadline shall be deemed to be a rejection of the requested extension. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Liquidity Termination Date shall not occur as a result of any Funding Agent’s failure to agree to any such extension (each Committed Purchaser in such Funding Agent’s Purchaser Group being a “Non-Renewing Committed Purchaser”) if, on or prior to such date (the “Scheduled Liquidity Termination Date”), either such Non-Renewing Committed Purchaser is replaced by another Committed Purchaser which has a Commitment equal to or greater than that of such Non-Renewing Committed Purchaser (the “Non-Renewing Amount”), or (ii) the Seller requests Term-out Period Advances to be made by the Non-Renewing Committed Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.5(b) and (c) on the Scheduled Liquidity Termination Date.

(b) Term-Out Period Advances. On the Scheduled Liquidity Termination Date, each Non-Renewing Committed Purchaser shall, by 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the Scheduled Liquidity Termination Date following its receipt of written request therefor from the Seller and subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.2, (i) establish such Committed Purchaser’s Term-out Period Account and (ii) make a Term-out Period Advance by depositing, in same day funds to such Committed Purchaser’s Term-out Period Account, an amount equal to such Committed Purchaser’s Commitment as of such date. Each Committed Purchaser shall invest the amounts on deposit in such Committed Purchaser’s Term-out Period Account, and the proceeds of such investments, in Eligible Investments (it being agreed that the earnings on any such Eligible Investments shall be applied pursuant to Section 4.6 to offset the Yield payable to the Committed Purchasers).

(c) Term-Out Period Account Funded Advances. No later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time), on the Scheduled Liquidity Termination Date on which the Non-Renewing Committed Purchasers make the initial deposit into the related Term-out Period Accounts in accordance with Section 1.5(b), the Agent shall withdraw from each Committed Purchaser’s Term-out Period Account an amount equal to such Committed Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share of the related Purchaser Group’s Percentage of the Aggregate Capital and cause such funds to be immediately applied to purchase such Committed Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share of the Capital of the Conduits in such Non-Renewing Committed Purchaser’s Purchaser Group in accordance with the Funding Agreement between such Committed Purchaser and such Conduits. During the Term-out Period, all additional Incremental Purchases to be made by any Non-Renewing Committed Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.2 shall be made by such Non-Renewing Committed Purchaser by withdrawing funds from such Committed Purchaser’s Term-out Period Account.

(d) Maturity. All Term-out Period Advances shall be due and payable in full by the Seller on the Facility Termination Date.

(e) Use of Proceeds; Security Interest in Term-Out Period Account. The Seller hereby agrees that it shall use the proceeds of the Term-out Period Advances solely to fund and maintain the Term-out Period Account for the purpose of funding Incremental Purchases from time to time. The Seller hereby grants to the applicable Non-Renewing Committed Purchaser, a security interest in the Term-out Period Account, all funds from time to time credited to the Term-out Period Account, all financial assets (including, without limitation, Eligible Investments) from time to time acquired with any such funds or otherwise credited to the Term-out Period Account, all interest, dividends, cash, instruments and other investment property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of such funds or such financial assets, and all proceeds of, collateral for, and supporting obligations relating to any and all of the foregoing. The grant of a security interest by the Seller to each such Non-Renewing Committed Purchaser pursuant to this Section secures the payment of the Seller’s obligation to repay the Term-out Period Advances, and to pay Yield thereon, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE II
PAYMENTS AND COLLECTIONS

Section 2.1 Payments. Notwithstanding any limitation on recourse contained in this Agreement, Seller shall immediately pay when due to the Agent or each Funding Agent, as applicable, for the account of the relevant Purchasers, the Agent or Funding Sources on a full recourse basis, as applicable: (i) such fees as are payable under the Fee Letter (which fees shall be sufficient to pay all fees

owing to the Purchasers), (ii) all CP Costs, (iii) all amounts payable as Yield, (iv) all amounts payable as Deemed Collections (which shall be immediately due and payable by Seller and applied to reduce outstanding Aggregate Capital hereunder in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.3 hereof), (v) all amounts required pursuant to Section 2.6, (vi) all amounts payable pursuant to Article X, if any, (vii) all Servicer costs and expenses, including the Servicing Fee, in connection with servicing, administering and collecting the Receivables, (viii) all Broken Funding Costs, and (ix) all Default Fees (collectively, the “Obligations”). If any Person fails to pay any of the Obligations when due, such Person agrees to pay, on demand, the Default Fee in respect thereof until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Agreement or the Fee Letter shall require the payment or permit the collection of any amounts hereunder in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. If at any time Seller receives any Collections or is deemed to receive any Collections, Seller shall immediately pay such Collections or Deemed Collections to the Master Servicer for application in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof and, at all times prior to such payment, such Collections or Deemed Collections shall be held in trust by Seller for the exclusive benefit of the Purchasers and the Agent.

Section 2.2 Collections Prior to Amortization. Prior to the Amortization Date, any Collections and/or Deemed Collections received by the Master Servicer shall be set aside and held in trust by the Master Servicer for the payment of any accrued and unpaid Aggregate Unpaids, any Aggregate Reduction or for a Reinvestment as provided in this Section 2.2. If at any time any Collections and/or Deemed Collections are received by the Master Servicer prior to the Amortization Date and such Collections and/or Deemed Collections are not so set aside or held in trust for the payment of Aggregate Unpaids or Aggregate Reductions, Seller hereby requests and the Purchasers hereby agree to make, simultaneously with such receipt, but subject to the conditions precedent set forth herein, including the conditions set forth in Section 6.2, a reinvestment (each a “Reinvestment”) with that portion of the balance of each and every Collection received by the Master Servicer that is part of any Purchaser Interest, such that after giving effect to such Reinvestment, the amount of Capital of such Purchaser Interest immediately after such receipt and corresponding Reinvestment shall be equal to the amount of Capital immediately prior to such receipt.

Section 2.3 Collections Following Amortization. On the Amortization Date and on each day thereafter, the Master Servicer shall set aside and hold in trust, for the applicable Purchasers in each Purchaser Group, the applicable Purchaser Group’s Percentage of all Collections received on each such day and, to the extent of available funds of Seller, an additional amount for the payment of any accrued and unpaid Obligations owed by Seller and not previously paid by Seller in accordance with Section 2.1. On and after the Amortization Date, the Master Servicer shall, at any time upon the request from time to time by (or pursuant to standing instructions from) the Agent remit to each Funding Agent’s account the amounts set aside pursuant to the preceding sentence for the account of such Funding Agent’s Purchaser Group, and such Funding Agent shall apply such amounts to reduce the Capital of its Purchaser Group associated with each such Purchaser Interest and any other Aggregate Unpaids owing to such Purchaser Group.

Section 2.4 Application of Collections. (i) Prior to the Amortization Date, on each Settlement Date and (ii) on and after the Amortization Date, on each Settlement Date and on such other additional dates as the Agent may request (which may be each Business Day), the Master Servicer shall distribute the funds set aside or held in trust pursuant to Section 2.2 or 2.3 (as applicable) in the following order of priority:

(a) first, to the payment of the Master Servicer’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with servicing, administering and collecting the Receivables, including the Servicing Fee, if Seller or one of its Affiliates is not then acting as the Master Servicer;

(b) second, to the reimbursement of the Agent’s costs of collection and enforcement of this Agreement;

(c) third, ratably to each Funding Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers in the related Purchaser Group, to the payment of all accrued and unpaid fees under the Fee Letter, CP Costs and Yield then due and payable;

(d) fourth, (to the extent applicable) to each Funding Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers in the related Purchaser Group, to be applied to the reduction of the Aggregate Capital then due and payable, and for the benefit of Non-Renewing Committed Purchasers in its Purchaser Group, to be applied to the reduction of Term-out Period Advances then due and payable, ratably in accordance with the respective Percentages;

(e) fifth, for the ratable payment of all other unpaid Obligations; provided, that to the extent such Obligations relate to the payment of the Master Servicer’s costs and expenses, in connection with servicing, administering and collecting the Receivables, including the Servicing Fee, when Seller or one of its Affiliates is then acting as the Master Servicer, such costs and expenses will not be paid until after the payment in full of all other Obligations; and

(f) sixth, after the Aggregate Unpaids have been indefeasibly reduced to zero, to Seller.

Collections applied to the payment of the Aggregate Unpaids shall be distributed in accordance with the aforementioned provisions, and, giving effect to each of the priorities set forth above in this Section 2.4, shall be shared ratably (within each priority) among the Agent, the Funding Agents and the Purchasers in accordance with the amount of such Aggregate Unpaids owing to each of them in respect of such priority unless otherwise specified. Each Funding Agent shall distribute amounts received pursuant to this Section 2.4 to the Purchasers and Non-Renewing Committed Purchasers, if any, in its Purchaser Group ratably according to the applicable amounts owed to such Persons.

Section 2.5 Payment Rescission. No payment of any of the Aggregate Unpaids shall be considered paid or applied hereunder to the extent that, at any time, all or any portion of such payment or application is rescinded by application of law or judicial authority, or must otherwise be returned or refunded for any reason. Seller shall remain obligated for the amount of any payment or application so rescinded, returned or refunded, and shall promptly pay to each applicable Funding Agent (for application to the Person or Persons who suffered such rescission, return or refund) the full amount thereof, plus the Default Fee from the date of any such rescission, return or refunding.

Section 2.6 Maximum Purchaser Interests. Seller shall ensure that the Purchaser Interests of the Purchasers do not at any time exceed in the aggregate 100%. If the aggregate of the Purchaser Interests of the Purchasers exceeds 100%, Seller shall determine the amount that must be applied to the reduction of Capital of the Purchaser Interests to eliminate such excess (the “Mandatory Reduction Amount”), and Seller shall pay, from funds available to Seller under Sections 2.2 and 2.3, to each of the Funding Agents, not later than the next Business Day, its Purchaser Group’s respective Percentage of the Mandatory Reduction Amount for distribution to the Purchasers in such Purchaser Group ratably in accordance with their respective amounts of Capital outstanding.

Section 2.7 Clean-Up Call. In addition to Seller’s rights pursuant to Section 1.3, the Master Servicer shall have the right (after providing written notice to the Agent in accordance with the Required Notice Period), at any time following the reduction of the Aggregate Capital to a level that is less than 10.0% of the Purchase Limit on the date of this Agreement, to purchase from the Purchasers all, but not less than all, of the then outstanding Purchaser Interests. The purchase price in respect thereof shall be an amount equal to the Aggregate Unpaids through the date of such repurchase, payable in immediately available funds. Such repurchase shall be without representation, warranty or recourse of any kind by, on the part of, or against any Purchaser, any Funding Agent or the Agent.

Section 2.8 Payments During the Term-Out Period. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all payments in respect of Capital hereunder during the Term-out Period to any Non-Renewing Committed Purchaser shall be made to such Non-Renewing Committed Purchaser’s Term-out Period Account.

ARTICLE III
CONDUIT FUNDING

Section 3.1 CP Costs. Seller shall pay CP Costs with respect to the Capital associated with each Purchaser Interest funded by any Conduit for each day that any Capital in respect of such Purchaser Interest is outstanding; provided, that, the Capital associated with any Purchaser Interest, portion thereof or undivided interest therein which is being funded by one or more Committed Purchasers in such Conduit’s Purchaser Group pursuant to a Funding Agreement shall accrue Yield pursuant to Article IV. Capital funded by a Conduit substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper will accrue CP Costs each day on a pro rata basis, based upon the percentage share such Capital represents in relation to all assets held by such Conduit and funded substantially with related Pooled Commercial Paper.

Section 3.2 CP Costs Payments. On each Settlement Date, Seller shall pay to each Funding Agent (for the benefit each Conduit in its Purchaser Group) an aggregate amount equal to all accrued and unpaid CP Costs in respect of all Capital associated with each Purchaser Interest of such Conduit owing to it for the immediately preceding Accrual Period in accordance with Article II.

Section 3.3 Calculation of CP Costs. On or before the fifth (5^th) Business Day immediately preceding each Settlement Date, each Conduit (or the applicable Funding Agent on behalf of such Conduit) shall calculate the aggregate amount of CP Costs owing to it for the applicable Accrual Period and shall notify Seller of such aggregate amount. Such aggregate amount shall be calculated in respect of each Conduit using an estimate of the CP Costs, if necessary, for the remaining days in such Accrual Period, provided, that such aggregate amount shall be adjusted as follows: if the Funding Agent for such Conduit shall have used an estimate of CP Costs with respect to the preceding Accrual Period, such Funding Agent shall compute the actual aggregate CP Costs of such Conduit for such preceding Accrual Period and (i) if the actual aggregate CP Costs of such Conduit so computed are greater than the estimated aggregate CP Costs calculated for such preceding Accrual Period, the aggregate CP Costs for such Conduit calculated pursuant to the preceding sentence for the current Accrual Period shall be increased by the amount of such difference, and (ii) if the actual aggregate CP Costs of such Conduit so computed are less than the estimated aggregate CP Costs for such preceding Accrual Period, the aggregate CP Costs for such Conduit calculated pursuant to the preceding sentence for the current Accrual Period shall be decreased by the amount of such difference or, on the date the Aggregate Unpaids are paid in full by the Seller, to the extent the Aggregate Unpaids are not calculated taking into account the amount of such difference, the amount of such difference shall be promptly paid to the Seller.

ARTICLE IV
COMMITTED PURCHASER FUNDING

Section 4.1 Committed Purchaser Funding. The Capital associated with each Purchaser Interest funded by a Committed Purchaser shall accrue Yield for each day during each Tranche Period at either the LIBO Rate or the Base Rate in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Each Term-out Period Advance shall accrue Yield for each day during its Tranche Period at either the LIBO Rate or the Base Rate in accordance with the terms hereof. Until Seller gives notice to the Funding Agent of such Committed Purchaser of another Discount Rate in accordance with Section 4.4, the initial Discount Rate for any interest in the Purchaser Interest transferred to any Committed Purchaser by a Conduit in its Purchaser Group pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof shall be the Base Rate. If a Committed Purchaser acquires by assignment from a Conduit in its Purchaser Group any interest in the Purchaser Interest pursuant to a Funding Agreement, each interest in the Purchaser Interest so assigned shall each be deemed to have a new Tranche Period commencing on the date of any such assignment.

Section 4.2 Yield Payments. On the Settlement Date for each Purchaser Interest of the Committed Purchasers and each Term-out Advance of a Non-Renewing Committed Purchaser, Seller shall pay to each Funding Agent (for the benefit of the Committed Purchasers and Non-Renewing Committed Purchasers, if any, in its Purchaser Group) an aggregate amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Yield for the entire Tranche Period of each such portion of Capital and Term-out Period Advance in accordance with Article II.

Section 4.3 Selection and Continuation of Tranche Periods.

(a) With consultation from (and approval by) the applicable Funding Agent, Seller shall from time to time request Tranche Periods for the Capital funded by the Committed Purchasers in such Funding Agent’s Purchaser Group and the Term-out Period Advances of the Non-Renewing Committed Purchasers in such Funding Agent’s Purchaser Group; provided, that if at any time the Committed Purchasers shall have a Purchaser Interest or a Term-out Period Advance, Seller shall always request Tranche Periods such that at least one Tranche Period shall end on the date specified in clause (A) of the definition of Settlement Date.

(b) Seller or the applicable Funding Agent, upon notice to and consent by the other received at least three (3) Business Days prior to the end of a Tranche Period (the “Terminating Tranche”) for any Purchaser Interest or Term-out Period Advance, may, effective on the last day of the Terminating Tranche: (i) divide any such Purchaser Interest or Term-out Period Advance funded by the Committed Purchasers and Non-Renewing Committed Purchasers in the same Purchaser Group into multiple Purchaser Interests or Term-out Period Advances, (ii) combine any such Purchaser Interest or Term-out Period Advance with one or more other Purchaser Interests or Term-out Period Advances of a Committed Purchaser or Non-Renewing Committed Purchaser in the same Purchaser Group that have a Terminating Tranche ending on the same day as such Terminating Tranche or (iii) combine any such Purchaser Interest or Term-out Period Advance with one or more other Purchaser Interests or Term-out Period Advances which either have a Terminating Tranche ending on such day or are newly created on such day; provided, that in no event may a Purchaser Interest of any Conduit be combined with a Purchaser Interest of any Committed Purchaser.

Section 4.4 Committed Purchaser Discount Rates. Seller may select the LIBO Rate or the Base Rate for each Purchaser Interest of the Committed Purchaser in each Purchaser Group and each Term-out Period Advance. Seller shall by 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time): (i) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the expiration of any Terminating Tranche with respect to which the LIBO Rate being requested as a new Discount Rate and (ii) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the expiration of any Terminating Tranche with respect to which the Base Rate is being requested as a new Discount Rate, give the related Funding Agent irrevocable notice of the new Discount Rate requested for the Purchaser Interest or the Term-out Period Advance associated with such Terminating Tranche. Until Seller gives notice to the related Funding Agent of another Discount Rate, the initial Discount Rate for any Purchaser Interest transferred to the Committed Purchasers in its Purchaser Group pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof shall be the Base Rate.

Section 4.5 Suspension of the LIBO Rate.

(a) If any Committed Purchaser notifies the related Funding Agent that it has determined that funding its Pro Rata Share of the Purchaser Interests of the Committed Purchasers or its Term-out Period Advances at a LIBO Rate would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive of any governmental or regulatory authority, whether or not having the force of law, or that (i) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund its Purchaser Interests or Term-out Period Advances at the LIBO Rate are not available or (ii) the LIBO Rate does not accurately reflect the cost of acquiring or maintaining a Purchaser Interest or Term-out Period Advance at the LIBO Rate, then such Funding Agent shall suspend the availability of the LIBO Rate and require Seller to select the Base Rate for any Purchaser Interest of the Committed Purchasers in its Purchaser Group or Term-out Period Advance accruing Yield at the LIBO Rate.

(b) If less than all of the Committed Purchasers give a notice to their related Funding Agents pursuant to Section 4.5(a), each Committed Purchaser which gave such a notice shall be obliged, at the request of the Seller or the Agent, to assign all of its rights and obligations hereunder to (i) another Committed Purchaser in its Purchaser Group or (ii) another Committed Purchaser nominated by the Seller or the Agent that is acceptable to the related Funding Agent and Conduits and willing to participate in this Agreement through the Liquidity Termination Date in the place of such notifying Committed Purchaser; provided, that (i) the notifying Committed Purchaser receives payment in full, pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, of an amount equal to such notifying Committed Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share of the Capital, principal amount of Term-out Period Advances and Yield owing to all of the Committed Purchasers in its Purchaser Group and all accruing but unpaid fees and other costs and expenses payable in respect of its Pro Rata Share of the Purchaser Interests of the Committed Purchasers in its Purchaser Group or its Term-out Period Advances, and (ii) the replacement Committed Purchaser otherwise satisfies the requirements of Section 12.1(b).

Section 4.6 Term-Out Period Accounts. Earnings on any Eligible Investment in a Committed Purchaser’s Term-out Period Account shall be applied to offset the Yield payable to such Committed Purchaser any date upon which Yield is payable to such Committed Purchaser hereunder.

Such Seller Party has complied in all respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, orders, writs, judgments, injunctions, decrees or awards to which it may be subject, except where the failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Receivable, together with the Contract related thereto, does not contravene any laws, rules or regulations applicable thereto (including, without limitation, laws, rules and regulations relating to truth in lending, fair credit billing, fair credit reporting, equal credit opportunity, fair debt collection practices and privacy), and no part of such Contract is in violation of any such law, rule or regulation, except where such contravention or violation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(w) Accounting. The manner in which such Seller Party accounts for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Receivables Sale Agreement does not jeopardize the analysis of the transactions described in the Receivables Sale Agreement as true sales, as set forth in the opinion to be delivered on behalf of the Originators as described on Schedule C hereto. Such Seller Party treats the transactions contemplated by the Receivables Sale Agreement as sales and/or capital contributions, for all purposes, including, without limitation, accounting purposes, notwithstanding the fact that the consolidated financial statements of Ralcorp and the Seller are prepared in accordance with GAAP and, as a result of the consolidation required by GAAP, the transfers shall be reflected as a financing in the consolidated financial statements of Ralcorp and its Subsidiaries, and (i) such Seller Party has made appropriate notations in any such consolidated financial statements (or in the accompanying notes) to indicate that the Seller is a separate legal entity from Ralcorp and to indicate that the assets and credit of the Seller are not available to satisfy the debts and obligations of Ralcorp and (ii) the assets of Seller are listed separately from the assets of the Seller or Ralcorp on any balance sheet of Ralcorp prepared on a standalone basis.

(z) Subsidiaries; Business. In the case of the Seller, (i) it has no Subsidiaries, (ii) since its formation, it has conducted no business other than entering into and performing its obligations under (A) the Existing Agreement and other activities incidental thereto or in connection therewith and (B) the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and such other activities incidental to the foregoing.

(b) No Conflict. The execution and delivery by such Committed Purchaser of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations hereunder are within its corporate powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, do not contravene or violate (i) its certificate or articles of incorporation or association or by-laws, (ii) any law, rule or regulation applicable to it, (iii) any restrictions under any agreement, contract or instrument to which it is a party or any of its property is bound, or (iv) any order, writ, judgment, award, injunction or decree binding on or affecting it or its property, and do not result in the creation or imposition of any Adverse Claim on its assets. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Committed Purchaser.

(c) Governmental Authorization.

Seller will (or will cause each Originator to) take all necessary action to (i) vest legal and equitable title to the Receivables, the Related Security and the Collections purchased under the Receivables Sale Agreement irrevocably in Seller, free and clear of any Adverse Claims other than Adverse Claims in favor of the Agent and the Purchasers (including, without limitation, the filing of all financing statements or other similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or any comparable law) of all appropriate jurisdictions, with or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, without Seller’ signature, to perfect Seller’s interest in such Receivables, Related Security and Collections and such other action to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the interest of Seller therein as the Agent or any Funding Agent may reasonably request), and (ii) establish and maintain, in favor of the Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, a valid and perfected first priority undivided percentage ownership interest (and/or a valid and perfected first priority security interest) in all Receivables, Related Security and Collections to the full extent contemplated herein, free and clear of any Adverse Claims other than Adverse Claims in favor of the Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers (including, without limitation, the filing of all financing statements or other similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or any comparable law) of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect the Agent’s (for the benefit of the Purchasers) interest in such Receivables, Related Security and Collections and such other action to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the interest of the Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers as the Agent may reasonably request).

(i) Purchasers’ Reliance. Seller acknowledges that the Purchasers are entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in reliance upon Seller’s identity as a legal entity that is separate from each of the Originators. Therefore, from and after the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement, Seller shall take all reasonable steps, including, without limitation, all steps that the Agent, any Funding Agent or any Purchaser may from time to time reasonably request, to maintain Seller’s identity as a separate legal entity and to make it manifest to third parties that Seller is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of each Originator and any Affiliates thereof and not just a division of an Originator or any such Affiliate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to the other covenants set forth herein, Seller will:

(A) conduct its own business in its own name and require that all full-time employees of Seller, if any, identify themselves as such and not as employees of any Originator (including, without limitation, by means of providing appropriate employees with business or identification cards identifying such employees as Seller’s employees);

(B) compensate all employees, consultants and agents directly, from Seller’s own funds, for services provided to Seller by such employees, consultants and agents and, to the extent any employee, consultant or agent of Seller is also an employee, consultant or agent of an Originator or any Affiliate thereof, allocate the compensation of such employee, consultant or agent between Seller and such Originator or such Affiliate, as applicable, on a basis that reflects the services rendered to Seller and such Originator or such Affiliate, as applicable;

(C) clearly identify its offices (by signage or otherwise) as its offices and, if such office is located in the offices of an Originator, Seller shall lease such office at a fair market rent;

(D) have a separate telephone number, which will be answered only in its name and separate stationery, invoices and checks in its own name;

(E) conduct all transactions with each Originator and the Master Servicer (including, without limitation, any delegation of its obligations hereunder as Master Servicer) strictly on an arm’s-length basis, allocate all overhead expenses (including, without limitation, telephone and other utility charges) for items shared between Seller and such Originator on the basis of actual use to the extent practicable and, to the extent such allocation is not practicable, on a basis reasonably related to actual use;

(F) at all times have a Board of Directors consisting of at least three members, at least one member of which is an Independent Director;

(G) observe all corporate formalities as a distinct entity, and ensure that all corporate actions relating to (A) the selection, maintenance or replacement of the Independent Director, (B) the dissolution or liquidation of Seller or (C) the initiation of, participation in, acquiescence in or consent to any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding involving Seller, are duly authorized by unanimous vote of its Board of Directors (including the Independent Director);

(H) maintain Seller’s books and records separate from those of each Originator and any Affiliate thereof and otherwise readily identifiable as its own assets rather than assets of an Originator and any Affiliate thereof;

(I) prepare its financial statements separately from those of each Originator and insure that any consolidated financial statements of any Originator or any Affiliate thereof that include Seller and that are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governmental agency have notes clearly stating that Seller is a separate corporate entity and that its assets will be available first and foremost to satisfy the claims of the creditors of Seller;

(J) except as herein specifically otherwise provided, maintain the funds or other assets of Seller separate from, and not commingled with, those of any Originator or any Affiliate thereof and only maintain bank accounts or other depository accounts to which Seller alone is the account party, into which Seller alone makes deposits and from which Seller alone (or the Agent hereunder) has the power to make withdrawals;

(K) pay all of Seller’s operating expenses from Seller’s own assets (except for certain payments by an Originator or other Persons pursuant to allocation arrangements that comply with the requirements of this Section 7.1(i));

(L) operate its business and activities such that: it does not engage in any business or activity of any kind, or enter into any transaction or indenture, mortgage, instrument, agreement, contract, lease or other undertaking, other than the transactions contemplated and authorized by this Agreement and the Receivables Sale Agreement; and does not create, incur, guarantee, assume or suffer to exist any indebtedness or other liabilities, whether direct or contingent, other than (1) as a result of the endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business, (2) the incurrence of obligations under this Agreement, (3) the incurrence of obligations, as expressly contemplated in the Receivables Sale Agreement, to make payment to the applicable Originator thereunder for the purchase of Receivables from such Originator under the Receivables Sale Agreement, and (4) the incurrence of operating expenses in the ordinary course of business of the type otherwise contemplated by this Agreement;

(M) maintain its corporate charter in conformity with this Agreement, such that (1) it does not amend, restate, supplement or otherwise modify its Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws in any respect that would impair its ability to comply with the terms or provisions of any of the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, Section 7.1(i) of this Agreement; and (2) its corporate charter, at all times that this Agreement is in effect, (x) contains a definition of “Independent Director” identical to the definition of such term contained herein and (y) provides for not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the secured creditors of the Seller of the replacement or appointment of any director that is to serve as an Independent Director for purposes of this Agreement and the condition precedent to giving effect to such replacement or appointment that the Seller certify that the designated Person satisfied the criteria set forth in the definition herein of “Independent Director” and such creditors’ written acknowledgement that in their reasonable judgment the designated Person satisfies the criteria set forth in the definition herein of “Independent Director;”

(N) maintain the effectiveness of, and continue to perform under the Receivables Sale Agreement and the Performance Undertaking, such that it does not amend, restate, supplement, cancel, terminate or otherwise modify the Receivables Sale Agreement or the Performance Undertaking, or give any consent, waiver, directive or approval thereunder or waive any default, action, omission or breach under the Receivables Sale Agreement or the Performance Undertaking or otherwise grant any indulgence thereunder, without (in each case) the prior written consent of the Agent;

(O) maintain its corporate separateness such that it does not merge or consolidate with or into, or convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of (whether in one transaction or in a series of transactions, and except as otherwise contemplated herein) all or substantially all of its assets (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) to, or acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, any Person, nor at any time create, have, acquire, maintain or hold any interest in any Subsidiary.

(P) maintain at all times the Required Capital Amount (as defined in the Receivables Sale Agreement) and refrain from making any dividend, distribution, redemption of capital stock or payment of any subordinated indebtedness which would cause the Required Capital Amount to cease to be so maintained; and

(Q) take such other actions as are necessary on its part to ensure that the facts and assumptions set forth in the opinion issued by Bryan Cave LLP, as counsel for Seller, in connection with the closing or initial Incremental Purchase under this Agreement and relating to substantive consolidation issues, and in the certificates accompanying such opinion, remain true and correct in all material respects at all times.

(j) Collections. Such Seller Party will cause (1) all proceeds from all Lock-Boxes to be directly deposited by a Collection Bank into a Collection Account and (2) except as set forth herein, each Lock-Box and Collection Account to be subject at all times to a Collection Account Agreement that is in full force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as soon as practicable after the date hereof but not later than January 4, 2011 and at all times thereafter, such Seller Party will cause Lock-Box #24625 and Account #811107879 maintained by Post Foods, LLC at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. to be subject to a Collection Account Agreement that is in full force and effect. In the event any payments relating to Receivables are remitted directly to Seller or any Affiliate of Seller, Seller will remit (or will cause all such payments to be remitted) directly to a Collection Bank and deposited into a Collection Account within two (2) Business Days following receipt thereof, and, at all times prior to such remittance, Seller will itself hold or, if applicable, will cause such payments to be held in trust for the exclusive benefit of the Agent, the Funding Agents and the Purchasers. Seller will maintain exclusive ownership, dominion and control (subject to the terms of this Agreement) of each Lock-Box and Collection Account and shall not grant the right to take dominion and control of any Lock-Box or Collection Account at a future time or upon the occurrence of a future event to any Person, except to the Agent as contemplated by this Agreement.

(k) Taxes. Such Seller Party will file all tax returns and reports required by law to be filed by it and will promptly pay all taxes and governmental charges at any time owing, except any such taxes which are not yet delinquent or are being diligently contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP shall have been set aside on its books. Seller will pay when due any taxes payable in connection with the Receivables, exclusive of taxes on or measured by income or gross receipts of the Agent, any Funding Agent or any Purchaser.

(l) Insurance. Seller will maintain in effect, or cause to be maintained in effect, at Seller’s own expense, such casualty and liability insurance as Seller shall deem appropriate in its good faith business judgment. The Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, shall be named as an additional insured with respect to all such liability insurance maintained by Seller. Seller will pay or cause to be paid, the premiums therefor and deliver to the Agent evidence satisfactory to the Agent and the Funding Agents of such insurance coverage. Copies of each policy shall be furnished to the Agent, any Funding Agent and any Purchaser in certificated form upon the Agent’s, such Funding Agent’s or such Purchaser’s request. The foregoing requirements shall not be construed to negate, reduce or modify, and are in addition to, Seller’s obligations hereunder.

(m) Payment to Applicable Originator. With respect to any Receivable purchased by Seller from an Originator, such sale shall be effected under, and in strict compliance with the terms of, the Receivables Sale Agreement, including, without limitation, the terms relating to the amount and timing of payments to be made to such Originator in respect of the purchase price for such Receivable.

Section 7.2 Negative Covenants of the Seller Parties. Until the date on which the Aggregate Unpaids have been indefeasibly paid in full and this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms, each Seller Party hereby covenants, as to itself, that:

(a) Name Change, Offices and Records. Such Seller Party shall not change its name, jurisdiction of organization, identity or corporate structure (within the meaning of Sections 9-503 and/or 9-507 of the UCC of all applicable jurisdictions), become a “new debtor” (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(56) of the UCC of all applicable jurisdictions) with respect to a currently effective security agreement previously entered into by any other Person, change its “location” (within the meaning of Section 9-307 of the UCC of all applicable jurisdictions) or relocate its chief executive office, principal place of business or any office where Records are kept unless it shall have: (i) given the Agent at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof and (ii) delivered to the Agent all financing statements, instruments and other documents reasonably requested by the Agent or any Funding Agent in connection with such change, event or relocation.

(b) Change in Payment Instructions to Obligors. Except as may be required by the Agent pursuant to Section 8.2(b), such Seller Party will not add or terminate any bank as a Collection Bank, or make any change in the instructions to Obligors regarding payments to be made to any Lock-Box or Collection Account, unless the Agent shall have received, at least ten (10) days before the proposed effective date therefor, (i) written notice of such addition, termination or change and (ii) with respect to the addition of a Collection Bank or a Collection Account or Lock-Box, an executed Collection Account Agreement with respect to the new Collection Account or Lock-Box; provided, however, that the Master Servicer may make changes in instructions to Obligors regarding payments if such new instructions require such Obligor to make payments to another existing Collection Account.

(c) Modifications to Contracts and Credit and Collection Policy. Such Seller Party will not, and will not permit any Originator to, make any change to the Credit and Collection Policy that could adversely affect the collectibility of the Receivables or decrease the credit quality of any newly created Receivables. Except as provided in Section 8.2(d), the Master Servicer will not, and will not permit any Originator to, extend, amend or otherwise modify the terms of any Receivable or any Contract related thereto other than in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy.

(d) Sales, Liens. Seller will not sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, or create or suffer to exist any Adverse Claim upon (including, without limitation, the filing of any financing statement) or with respect to, any Receivable, Related Security or Collections, upon or with respect to any Term-out Period Advance Account or any amounts from time to time on deposit therein or credited thereto, or upon or with respect to any Contract under which any Receivable arises, or any Lock-Box or Collection Account, or assign any right to receive income with respect thereto (other than, in each case, the creation of the interests therein in favor of the Agent and the Purchasers provided for herein), and Seller will defend the right, title and interest of the Agent and the Purchasers in, to and under any of the foregoing property, against all claims of third parties claiming through or under Seller or any Originator.

(e) Net Receivables Balance. At no time prior to the Amortization Date shall Seller permit the Net Receivables Balance to be less than an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Aggregate Capital plus (ii) the Aggregate Reserves.

(f) Termination Date Determination. Seller will not designate the “Termination Date” (as defined in the Receivables Sale Agreement), or send any written notice to any Originator in respect thereof, without the prior written consent of the Agent and the Funding Agents, except with respect to the occurrence of such “Termination Date” (as defined in the Receivables Sale Agreement) arising pursuant to Section 5.1(d) of the Receivables Sale Agreement.

(g) Restricted Junior Payments. From and after the occurrence of any Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event, Seller will not make any Restricted Junior Payment if, after giving effect thereto, Seller would fail to meet its obligations set forth in Section 7.2(e).

ARTICLE VIII
ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION

Section 8.1 Designation of Master Servicer.

(a) The servicing, administration and collection of the Receivables shall be conducted by such Person (the “Master Servicer”) so designated from time to time in accordance with this Section 8.1. Ralcorp is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Master Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. At any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event, the Agent may, and shall at the direction of the Required Funding Agents, designate as Master Servicer any Person to succeed Ralcorp or any successor Master Servicer.

(b) Ralcorp may delegate, and Ralcorp hereby advises the Purchasers and the Agent that it has delegated, to the other Originators, as sub-servicers of the Master Servicer (the Originators in such capacity, “Permitted Sub-Servicers”), certain of its duties and responsibilities as Master Servicer hereunder in respect of the Receivables originated by such Originator. Without the prior written consent of the Agent and the Required Funding Agents, Ralcorp shall not be permitted to delegate any of its duties or responsibilities as Master Servicer to any Person other than (i) the other Originators, and (ii) with respect to certain Charged-Off Receivables, outside collection agencies in accordance with its customary practices. No Permitted Sub-Servicer shall be permitted to

further delegate to any other Person any of the duties or responsibilities of the Master Servicer delegated to it by Ralcorp. If at any time following the occurrence of an Amortization Event the Agent shall, in accordance with the foregoing clause (a), designate as Master Servicer any Person other than Ralcorp, all duties and responsibilities theretofore delegated by Ralcorp to the Permitted Sub-Servicers may, at the discretion of the Agent (with the consent of the Required Funding Agents), be terminated forthwith on notice given by the Agent to Ralcorp and to Seller.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing subsection (b), (i) Ralcorp shall be and remain primarily liable to the Agent, the Funding Agents and the Purchasers for the full and prompt performance of all duties and responsibilities of the Master Servicer hereunder and (ii) the Agent, the Funding Agents and the Purchasers shall be entitled to deal exclusively with Ralcorp in matters relating to the discharge by the Master Servicer of its duties and responsibilities hereunder. None of the Agent, the Funding Agents or the Purchasers shall be required to give notice, demand or other communication to any Person other than the Master Servicer in order for communication to the Master Servicer and its Permitted Sub-Servicers or other delegate with respect thereto to be accomplished. Ralcorp, at all times that it is the Master Servicer, shall be responsible for providing the Permitted Sub-Servicers or other delegates of the Master Servicer with any notice given to the Master Servicer under this Agreement.

Section 8.2 Duties of Master Servicer.

(a) The Master Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be necessary or advisable to collect each Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy.

(b) The Master Servicer will instruct all Obligors to pay all Collections directly to a Lock-Box or Collection Account. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.1(j) of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall cause each Lock-Box and Collection Account to be subject at all times to a Collection Account Agreement that is in full force and effect. In the case of any remittances received in any Lock-Box or Collection Account that shall have been identified, to the satisfaction of the Master Servicer, to not constitute Collections or other proceeds of the Receivables or the Related Security, the Master Servicer shall promptly remit such items to the Person identified to it as being the owner of such remittances. From and after the date the Agent delivers to any Collection Bank a Collection Notice pursuant to Section 8.3, the Agent may, and shall upon the direction of the Required Funding Agents, request that the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer thereupon promptly shall, instruct all Obligors with respect to the Receivables, to remit all payments thereon to a new depositary account specified by the Agent and, at all times thereafter, Seller and the Master Servicer shall not deposit or otherwise credit, and shall not permit any other Person to deposit or otherwise credit to such new depositary account any cash or payment item other than Collections.

(c) The Master Servicer shall administer the Collections in accordance with the procedures described herein and in Article II. The Master Servicer shall set aside and hold in trust for the account of Seller and the Purchasers their respective shares of the Collections in accordance with Article II. The Master Servicer shall, upon the request of the Agent or any Funding Agent,

segregate, in a manner acceptable to the Agent and the Funding Agents, all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections from the general funds of the Master Servicer or Seller prior to the remittance thereof in accordance with Article II. If the Master Servicer shall be required to segregate Collections pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Master Servicer shall segregate and deposit with a bank designated by the Agent (with the consent of the Required Funding Agents) such allocable share of Collections of Receivables set aside for the Purchasers on the first Business Day following receipt by the Master Servicer of such Collections, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer.

(d) The Master Servicer may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, extend the maturity of any Receivable or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable as the Master Servicer determines to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof; provided, however, that such extension or adjustment shall not alter the status of such Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or Charged-Off Receivable or limit the rights of the Agent, the Funding Agents or the Purchasers under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Agent shall have the absolute and unlimited right (with the consent of the Required Funding Agents) to direct the Master Servicer to commence or settle any legal action with respect to any Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security.

(e) The Master Servicer shall hold in trust for Seller and the Purchasers all Records that (i) evidence or relate to the Receivables, the related Contracts and Related Security or (ii) are otherwise necessary or desirable to collect the Receivables and shall, as soon as practicable upon demand of the Agent, deliver or make available to the Agent all such Records, at a place selected by the Agent. The Master Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following receipt thereof turn over to Seller any cash collections or other cash proceeds received with respect to Indebtedness not constituting Receivables. The Master Servicer shall, from time to time at the request of any Purchaser, furnish to the Purchasers (promptly after any such request) a calculation of the amounts set aside for the Purchasers pursuant to Article II.

(f) Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to any Originator or Seller shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or otherwise required by contract or law and unless otherwise instructed by the Agent, be applied as a Collection of any Receivable of such Obligor (starting with the oldest such Receivable) to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other receivable or other obligation of such Obligor.

Section 8.3 Collection Notices. The Agent is authorized at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Amortization Event (with the consent of the Required Funding Agents), to date and to deliver to the Collection Banks the Collection Notices. Seller hereby transfers to the Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers, effective when the Agent delivers such notice, the exclusive ownership and control of each Lock-Box and the Collection Accounts. In case any authorized signatory of Seller whose signature appears on a Collection Account Agreement shall cease to have such authority before the delivery of such notice, such Collection Notice shall nevertheless be valid as if such authority had remained in force. Seller hereby authorizes the Agent, and agrees that the Agent shall be entitled after the occurrence of an Amortization Event (with the consent of the Required Funding Agents) to (i) endorse Seller’s name on checks and other instruments representing Collections, (ii) enforce the Receivables, the related Contracts and the Related Security and (iii) take such action as shall be necessary or desirable to cause all cash, checks and other instruments constituting Collections of Receivables to come into the possession of the Agent rather than Seller.

Section 8.4 Responsibilities of Seller. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the exercise by the Agent, the Funding Agent and the Purchasers of their rights hereunder shall not release the Master Servicer, any Originator or Seller from any of their duties or obligations with respect to any Receivables or under the related Contracts. The Purchasers shall have no obligation or liability with respect to any Receivables or related Contracts, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform the obligations of Seller.

Section 8.5 Reports. The Master Servicer shall prepare and forward to the Agent and the Funding Agents (i) on the 24th day of each month or if any such date is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day thereafter (each such date, a “Monthly Reporting Date”)) and at such times as the Agent shall request, a Monthly Report and (ii) at such times as the Agent or any Funding Agent shall request, a listing by Obligor of all Receivables together with an aging of such Receivables.

Section 8.6 Servicing Fees. In consideration of Ralcorp’s agreement to act as Master Servicer hereunder, the Purchasers hereby agree that, so long as Ralcorp shall continue to perform as Master Servicer hereunder, Seller shall pay over to Ralcorp, a fee (the “Servicing Fee”) on the first calendar day of each month, in arrears for the immediately preceding month, equal to 0.325% of aggregate new Receivables (i.e., gross sales) during such period, as compensation for its servicing activities.

Without limiting any other rights that the Agent or any Purchaser may have hereunder or under applicable law, (A) Seller hereby agrees to indemnify (and pay upon demand to) the Agent, each Funding Agent and each Purchaser and their respective assigns, officers, directors, agents and employees (each an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all damages (excluding consequential and special damages), losses, claims, taxes, liabilities, costs, expenses and for all other amounts payable, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (which attorneys may be employees of the Agent, such Funding Agent or such Purchaser) and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of or as a result of this Agreement or the acquisition, either directly or indirectly, by a Purchaser of an interest in the Receivables, and (B) the Master Servicer hereby agrees to indemnify (and pay upon demand to) each Indemnified Party for Indemnified Amounts awarded against or reasonably incurred by any of them arising out of the Master Servicer’s activities as Master Servicer hereunder, excluding, however, in all of the foregoing instances under the preceding clauses (A) and (B):

(a) Indemnified Amounts to the extent a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction holds that such Indemnified Amounts resulted from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification;

(b) Indemnified Amounts to the extent the same includes losses in respect of Receivables that are uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness of the related Obligor; or

(c) taxes imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Indemnified Party’s principal executive office is located, on or measured by the overall net income of such Indemnified Party to the extent that the computation of such taxes is consistent with the characterization for income tax purposes of the acquisition by the Purchasers of Purchaser Interests as a loan or loans by the Purchasers to Seller secured by the Receivables, the Related Security, the Collection Accounts and the Collections;

provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the liability of any Seller Party or limit the recourse of the Purchasers to any Seller Party for amounts otherwise specifically provided to be paid by such Seller Party under the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing indemnification, Seller shall indemnify the Agent, the Funding Agents and the Purchasers for Indemnified Amounts (including, without limitation, losses in respect of uncollectible receivables, regardless of whether reimbursement therefor would constitute recourse to Seller or the Master Servicer) relating to or resulting from:

(i) any representation or warranty made by any Seller Party or any Originator (or any officers of any such Person) under or in connection with this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other information or report delivered by any such Person pursuant hereto or thereto, which shall have been false or incorrect when made or deemed made;

(ii) the failure by Seller, the Master Servicer or any Originator to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to any Receivable or Contract related thereto, or the nonconformity of any Receivable or Contract included therein with any such applicable law, rule or regulation or any failure of any Originator to keep or perform any of its obligations, express or implied, with respect to any Contract;

(iii) any failure of Seller, the Master Servicer or any Originator to perform its duties, covenants or other obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document;

(iv) any products liability, personal injury or damage suit, or other similar claim arising out of or in connection with merchandise, insurance or services that are the subject of any Contract or any Receivable;

(v) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy of the Obligor) of the Obligor to the payment of any Receivable (including, without limitation, a defense based on such Receivable or the related Contract not being a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms), or any other claim resulting from the sale of the merchandise or service related to such Receivable or the furnishing or failure to furnish such merchandise or services;

(vi) the commingling of Collections of Receivables at any time with other funds;

(vii) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to or arising from this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the transactions contemplated hereby, the use of the proceeds of an Incremental Purchase or a Reinvestment, the ownership of the Purchaser Interests or any other investigation, litigation or proceeding relating to Seller, the Master Servicer or any Originator in which any Indemnified Party becomes involved as a result of any of the transactions contemplated hereby;

(viii) any inability to litigate any claim against any Obligor in respect of any Receivable as a result of such Obligor being immune from civil and commercial law and suit on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise from any legal action, suit or proceeding;

(ix) any Amortization Event described in Section 9.1(d);

(x) any failure of Seller to acquire and maintain legal and equitable title to, and ownership of, any Receivable and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto from the applicable Originator, free and clear of any Adverse Claim (other than as created hereunder); or any failure of Seller to give reasonably equivalent value to such Originator under the Receivables Sale Agreement in consideration of the transfer by such Originator of any Receivable, or any attempt by any Person to void such transfer under statutory provisions or common law or equitable action;

(xi) any failure to vest and maintain vested in the Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers, or to transfer to the Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers, legal and equitable title to, and ownership of, a first priority perfected undivided percentage ownership interest (to the extent of the Purchaser Interests contemplated hereunder) or security interest in the Receivables, the Related Security and the Collections, free and clear of any Adverse Claim (except as created by the Transaction Documents);

(xii) the failure to have filed, or any delay in filing, financing statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other applicable laws with respect to any Receivable, the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto, and the proceeds of any thereof, whether at the time of any Incremental Purchase or Reinvestment or at any subsequent time;

(xiii) any action or omission by any Seller Party which reduces or impairs the rights of the Agent, the Funding Agents or the Purchasers with respect to any Receivable or the value of any such Receivable;

(xiv) any attempt by any Person to void any Incremental Purchase or Reinvestment hereunder under statutory provisions or common law or equitable action; and

(xv) the failure of any Receivable included in the calculation of the Net Receivables Balance as an Eligible Receivable to be an Eligible Receivable at the time so included.

Section 10.2 Increased Cost and Reduced Return.

(a) If any Regulatory Change (i) subjects any Purchaser or any Funding Source to any charge or withholding on or with respect to any Funding Agreement or this Agreement or a Purchaser’s or Funding Source’s obligations under a Funding Agreement or this Agreement, or on or with respect to the Receivables, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to any Purchaser or any Funding Source of any amounts payable under any Funding Agreement or this Agreement (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of a Purchaser or Funding Source or taxes excluded by Section 10.1) or (ii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, fee, tax, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or liabilities of a Funding Source or a Purchaser, or credit extended by a Funding Source or a Purchaser pursuant to a Funding Agreement or this Agreement or (iii) imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to a Funding

Source or a Purchaser of performing its obligations under a Funding Agreement or this Agreement, or to reduce the rate of return on a Funding Source’s or Purchaser’s capital as a consequence of its obligations under a Funding Agreement or this Agreement, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by a Funding Source or a Purchaser under a Funding Agreement or this Agreement, or to require any payment calculated by reference to the amount of interests or loans held or interest received by it, then, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, Seller shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the relevant Funding Source or Purchaser, such amounts charged to such Funding Source or Purchaser or such amounts to otherwise compensate such Funding Source or such Purchaser for such increased cost or such reduction. The term “Regulatory Change” shall mean (i) the adoption after the date hereof of any applicable law, rule or regulation (including any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy) or any change therein after the date hereof, (ii) any change after the date hereof in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, or (iii) the compliance, whether commenced prior to or after the date hereof, by any Liquidity Provider or Lender with either (x) the requirements of the final rule titled “Risk-Based Capital Guidelines; Capital Adequacy Guidelines; Capital Maintenance: Regulatory Capital; Impact of Modifications to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles; Consolidation of Asset-Backed Commercial Paper Programs; and Other Related Issues”, adopted by the United States bank regulatory agencies on December 15, 2009 (the “FAS 166/167 Capital Guidelines”), or any existing or future guidance, interpretations or directives from the U.S. bank regulatory agencies relating to the FAS 166/167 Capital Guidelines (whether or not having the force of law), or any rules or regulations promulgated in connection therewith by any U.S. bank regulatory agency or (y) the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any regulations, rules, guidelines or directives issued or promulgated thereunder or in connection therewith.

(b) A certificate of the applicable Purchaser or Funding Source setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Purchaser or Funding Source pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 10.2 shall be delivered to the Seller and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(c) If any Purchaser or any Funding Source has or anticipates having any claim for compensation from the Seller pursuant to clause (iii) of the definition of Regulatory Change appearing in paragraph (a) of this Section 10.2, and such Purchaser or Funding Source believes that having the facility publicly rated by one credit rating agency would reduce the amount of such compensation by an amount deemed by such Purchaser or Funding Source to be material, such Purchaser or Funding Source shall provide written notice to the Seller and the Servicer (a “Ratings Request”) that such Purchaser or Funding Source intends to request a public rating of the facility from one credit rating agency selected by such Purchaser or Funding Source and reasonably acceptable to the Seller, of at least A (the “Required Rating”). The Seller and the Servicer agree that they shall cooperate with such Purchaser’s or Funding Source’s efforts to obtain the Required Rating, and shall provide the applicable credit rating agency (either directly or through distribution to the Administrative Agent, Purchaser or Funding Source), any information requested by such credit rating agency for purposes of providing and monitoring the Required Rating. The Purchasers shall pay the initial fees payable to the credit rating agency for

providing the rating and all ongoing fees payable to the credit rating agency for their continued monitoring of the rating and all legal fees of counsel to the Agent or the Purchasers in connection with obtaining or maintaining the rating. Nothing in this Section 10.2(c) shall preclude any Purchaser or Funding Source from demanding compensation from the Seller pursuant to Section 10.2(a) hereof at any time and without regard to whether the Required Rating shall have been obtained, or shall require any Purchaser or Funding Source to obtain any rating on the facility prior to demanding any such compensation from the Seller.

Section 10.3 Other Costs and Expenses. Subject to any limitations which may be agreed between Seller, the Funding Agents and the Agent in writing, Seller shall pay to the Agent and each Funding Agent on demand all costs and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it or, in the case of a Funding Agent, the Purchasers in its Purchaser Group, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including without limitation, the cost of any Conduit’s auditors auditing the books, records and procedures of Seller, reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of legal counsel (which such counsel may be employees of the Agent, such Funding Agent or any Purchaser) with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Agent, such Funding Agent or any such Purchaser as to its rights and remedies under this Agreement. Seller shall pay to the Agent and each Funding Agent on demand any and all costs and expenses incurred by it or, in the case of a Funding Agent, the Purchasers in its Purchaser Group, if any, including reasonable counsel fees and expenses in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other documents delivered hereunder and in connection with any restructuring or workout of this Agreement or such documents, or the administration of this Agreement following an Amortization Event.

Each of the Agent and each Funding Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Funding Agent or all of the Purchasers, as applicable, in the case of the Agent, or the Purchasers in its Purchaser Group, in the case of such Funding Agent, as it deems appropriate and it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Funding Agents, in the case of the Agent, or its related Purchasers, in the case of such Funding Agent, provided, that unless and until the Agent or such Funding Agent shall have received

The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, in accordance with a request of the Required Funding Agents or all of the Purchasers, as applicable, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Purchasers. Each Funding Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, in accordance with a request of any Purchaser in its Purchaser Group and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Purchasers in its Purchaser Group.

Section 11.5 Non-Reliance on Agent, Funding Agents and Other Purchasers. Each Purchaser expressly acknowledges that neither the Agent, nor any Funding Agent, nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Agent or any Funding Agent hereafter taken, including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of any Seller Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent or any Funding Agent. Each Purchaser represents and warrants to the Agent and the Funding Agents that it has and will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any Funding Agent or any other Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of Seller and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and all other documents related hereto or thereto.

Section 11.6 Reimbursement and Indemnification. Each Funding Agent agrees to reimburse and indemnify the Agent and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents ratably according to its Purchaser Group’s Percentage, to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Seller Parties (i) for any amounts for which the Agent, acting in its capacity as Agent, is entitled to reimbursement by the Seller Parties hereunder and (ii) for any other expenses incurred by the Agent, in its capacity as Agent and acting on behalf of the Purchasers, in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Each Committed Purchaser agrees to reimburse and indemnify its related Funding Agent and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents ratably according to its Pro Rata Share, to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Seller Parties (i) for any amounts for which such Funding Agent, acting in its capacity as Funding Agent, is entitled to reimbursement by the Seller Parties hereunder and (ii) for any other expenses incurred by such Funding Agent, in its capacity as Funding Agent and acting on behalf of the Purchasers in its Purchaser Group, in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

Section 11.7 Agent and Funding Agents in their Individual Capacities. Each Funding Agent and the Agent and their respective Affiliates may engage make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with Seller or any Affiliate of Seller as though such Funding Agent or the Agent, as applicable, were not the Agent or Funding Agent hereunder.

Section 11.8 Successor Agent and Funding Agents.

If any such party shall resign as Agent or Funding Agent under this Agreement, then, in the case of the Agent, the Required Funding Agents and in the case of any Funding Agent, its related Conduits, during such five-day period shall appoint a successor agent, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Agent or applicable Funding Agent and references herein to the Agent or such Funding Agent shall mean such successor agent, effective upon its appointment; and such former Agent’s or Funding Agent’s rights, powers and duties in such capacity shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or Funding Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement on the date described in the first sentence of this Section 11.8.

Further, Seller and each Committed Purchaser hereby agree that any assignee of any Conduit of this Agreement or all or any of the Purchaser Interests of such Conduit shall have all of the rights and benefits under this Agreement as if the term “Conduit” explicitly referred to such party, and no such assignment shall in any way impair the rights and benefits of such Conduit hereunder. Neither Seller nor the Master Servicer shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement.

(b) Any Committed Purchaser may at any time and from time to time assign to one or more Persons (each a “Purchasing Committed Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasing Committed Purchasers”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an assignment agreement, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit VII hereto (an “Assignment Agreement”) executed by such Purchasing Committed Purchaser and such selling Committed Purchaser. The consent of its related Conduits shall be required prior to the effectiveness of any such assignment. Except for an assignment pursuant to Section 12.1(c), unless an Amortization Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall also be required prior to the effectiveness of any such assignment. Each assignee of a Committed Purchaser must (i) have a short-term debt rating of A-1 or better by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group and P-1 by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. and (ii) agree to deliver to the Agent and the related Funding Agent, promptly following any request therefor by the applicable Funding Agent or any related Conduit, an enforceability opinion in form and substance satisfactory to such Funding Agent and its related Conduits. Upon delivery of the executed Assignment Agreement to such Funding Agent, such selling Committed Purchaser shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment. Thereafter the Purchasing Committed Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Committed Purchaser party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Committed Purchaser under this Agreement to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto and no further consent or action by Seller, the Purchasers, the Funding Agents or the Agent shall be required.

(c) Each of the Committed Purchasers agrees that in the event that it shall cease to have a short-term debt rating of A-1 or better by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group and P-1 by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. (an “Affected Committed Purchaser”), such Affected Committed Purchaser shall be obliged, at the request of any Conduit or the Funding Agent of its Purchaser Group, to assign all of its rights and obligations hereunder to (x) another Committed Purchaser or (y) another funding entity nominated by such Funding Agent and acceptable to its related Conduits, and willing to participate in this Agreement through the Facility Termination Date in the place of such Affected Committed Purchaser; provided, that the Affected Committed Purchaser receives payment in full, pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, of an amount equal to such Committed Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share of its Purchaser Group’s Percentage of the Aggregate Capital, Term-out Period Advances and Yield owing to the Committed Purchasers and all accrued but unpaid fees and other costs and expenses payable in respect of such Pro Rata Share or its Term-out Period Advances.

Section 12.2 Participations. Any Committed Purchaser may, in the ordinary course of its business at any time sell to one or more Persons (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in its Pro Rata Share of the Purchaser Interests of the Committed Purchasers in its Purchaser Group or any other interest of such Committed Purchaser hereunder. Notwithstanding any such sale by a Committed Purchaser of a participating interest to a Participant, such Committed Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Committed Purchaser shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and Seller, the Purchasers, the Funding Agents and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Committed Purchaser in connection with such Committed Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each Committed Purchaser agrees that any agreement between such Committed Purchaser and any such Participant in respect of such participating interest shall not restrict such Committed Purchaser’s right to agree to any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification to this Agreement, except for any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification described in Section 14.1(b)(i).

Section 12.3 Federal Reserve. Any Committed Purchaser may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including, without limitation, any Purchaser Interest and any rights to payment of Capital and Yield) under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Committed Purchaser to a Federal Reserve Bank, and the foregoing provisions of this Article XII shall not apply to any such pledge or grant of a security interest; provided, that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release a Committed Purchaser from any of its obligations hereunder, or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Committed Purchaser as a party hereto.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 14.1 Waivers and Amendments.

(a) No failure or delay on the part of the Agent, any Funding Agent or any Purchaser in exercising any power, right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or remedy preclude any other further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy.

Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

Any modification or waiver made in accordance with this Section 14.1 shall apply to each of the Purchasers equally and shall be binding upon Seller, the Purchasers, the Funding Agents and the Agent.

Section 14.2 Notices. Except as provided in this Section 14.2, all communications and notices provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including bank wire, telecopy or electronic facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to the other parties hereto at their respective addresses or telecopy numbers set forth on Schedule B hereto or at such other address or telecopy number as such Person may hereafter specify for the purpose of notice to each of the other parties hereto.

Seller agrees to deliver promptly to each Funding Agent a written confirmation of each telephonic notice signed by an authorized officer of Seller; provided, however, the absence of such confirmation shall not affect the validity of such notice. If the written confirmation differs from the action taken by any Funding Agent, the records of such Funding Agent shall govern absent manifest error.

Section 14.3 Ratable Payments. If any Purchaser, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it with respect to any portion of the Aggregate Unpaids owing to such Purchaser (other than payments received pursuant to Section 10.2 or 10.3) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Purchaser entitled to receive a ratable share of such Aggregate Unpaids, such Purchaser agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase for cash without recourse or warranty a portion of such Aggregate Unpaids held by the other Purchasers so that after such purchase each Purchaser will hold its ratable proportion of such Aggregate Unpaids; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Purchaser, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

Section 14.4 Protection of Ownership Interests of the Purchasers.
