Unless otherwise indicated, certain terms that are capitalized and used
throughout this Agreement are defined in EXHIBIT I to the Loan and Servicing
Agreement of even date herewith (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified
from time to time, the "LOAN AND SERVICING AGREEMENT"), among the Company, the

from the Originator, and does hereby purchase from the Originator, without
recourse and without regard to collectibility, all of the Originator's right,
title and interest in and to:

(a) each Receivable of the Originator that existed and was owing
to the Originator as of the opening of the Originator's business on December 22,

Rights contributed by the Originator to the Company pursuant to SECTION 3.1 (the

All purchases and contributions hereunder shall be made without recourse, but
shall be made pursuant to and in reliance upon the representations, warranties
and covenants of the Originator, in its capacity as Originator and contributor,
set forth in each Transaction Document. The Company's foregoing commitment to
purchase such Receivables and the proceeds and rights described in SUBSECTIONS
(c) through (h) of this SECTION 1.1 (collectively, including such item relating
to Contributed Portion, the "RELATED RIGHTS") is herein called the "PURCHASE
FACILITY."

1.2. TIMING OF PURCHASES.

(a) CLOSING DATE PURCHASES. The Originator's entire right, title
and interest in (i) each Receivable that existed and was owing to the Originator
as of the opening of the Originator's business on the Closing Date, (other than
Contributed Portion) and (ii) all Related Rights with respect thereto shall be
sold to the Company on the Closing Date.

(b) REGULAR PURCHASES. After the Closing Date, each Receivable
created or originated by the Originator and all Related Rights shall be
purchased and owned by the Company (without any further action) upon the
creation or origination of such Receivable.

1.3. CONSIDERATION FOR PURCHASES. On the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company agrees to make all Purchase
Price payments to the Originator.

1.4. PURCHASE AND SALE TERMINATION DATE. The "PURCHASE AND SALE

hereto that the transfers of the Receivables (other than Contributed Portion)
and Related Rights (other than those relating to the Contributed Portion) by the
Originator to the Company, as contemplated by this Agreement be, and be treated
as, sales and not as secured loans secured by the Receivables and Related
Rights. If, however, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, such
transactions are deemed to be loans, the Originator hereby grants to the Company
a first priority security interest in all of the Originator's right, title and
interest in and to each of the items described in clauses (a) through (h) of
SECTION 1.1 above to secure all of the Originator's obligations hereunder.
