the Commitment Termination Date (in the case of the Banks). Under no circumstances shall Atlantic make any such purchase, or the Banks be obligated to make any such purchase, if after giving effect to

an appropriate readjustment of such Receivable Interests. The Agent, on behalf of the Banks which own Receivable Interests, shall have the Collections attributable to such Receivable Interests

acceptable to Atlantic. </FONT></P>

such enforceability may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium (whether general or specific) and other similar laws now or hereafter in effect affecting creditors rights
generally. </FONT></P>
