              ------------------------------------------

               (a) Payment of Purchase Price. For each Purchased Receivable,
Buyer will pay Seller, on the Purchase Date, the Purchase Price, less the
Administrative Fee and legal fees (if any).

               (b) Late Payment. If Payment is made after the Due Date, as
listed on the Schedule, then on the earlier of Payment or 90 days after the
scheduled payment date, Seller will also pay Buyer the product of the Discount

by the number of days between the scheduled payment date or the earlier of the
date of actual payment or 90 days after the scheduled payment date, divided by
360; provided, however, that with respect to Purchased Receivables as to which
payment is to be made directly to Buyer, Seller shall not be liable for making
any such payment to Buyer until five (5) business days after receipt by Seller
from Buyer of the information reasonably required to calculate the amount
thereof.

               (c) Late Payment Reserve. Buyer will maintain a reserve as listed
on the Schedule against any late payments on any Purchased Receivables, if any

Discount Rate and the average daily balance of the unpaid Purchased Receivables
multiplied by the number of days between the scheduled payment date or the
earlier of the date of actual payment or 90 days after the scheduled payment
date, divided by 360 days. If the late payment arises under any other
circumstances, Buyer will return the reserve to Seller.
