ITEM 5. Other Events
On January 27, 1999, the Registrant closed and commenced funding under
a Receivables Sale Agreement (the "Agreement") with RFC Capital Corporation
("RFC") pursuant to which RFC has agreed to purchase from the Registrant certain
telecommunication receivables generated by the Registrant in the ordinary course
of the Registrant's business. The Agreement calls for RFC to purchase eligible
receivables from the Registrant from time to time upon presentation thereof for
a purchase price equal to the net value of such receivables. Net value is
designed to yield RFC an effective interest rate of prime plus 2.75% plus allow
RFC to retain a holdback of five percent of the face amount of the receivables
net collected against future collection risk.
Under the Agreement the Registrant performs certain servicing,
administrative and collection functions in respect to the receivables sold to
RFC. Also, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement the Registrant has granted to
RFC a security interest in and to the Registrant's receivables not sold to RFC
and the Registrant's customer base relating to the generation of such accounts
receivable.
The initial term of the Agreement is to December 31, 2000.

as Purchaser and Master Servicer
<PAGE>
RECEIVABLES SALE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), dated as of December 21,
1998, by and between INTELLICALL, INC., a Delaware corporation, as Seller and
Subservicer, and RFC CAPITAL CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, as Purchaser
and Master Servicer.
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Seller desires to sell certain of its telecommunication
receivables and the Purchaser is a corporation formed for the purpose of
purchasing certain telecommunication receivables from time to time;
WHEREAS, the Purchaser shall act in its capacity as the Master Servicer
to perform certain servicing, administrative and collection functions in respect
of the receivables purchased by the Purchaser under this Agreement;
WHEREAS, the Purchaser and the Master Servicer desire that the
Subservicer be appointed to perform certain servicing, administrative and
collection functions in respect of the Purchased Receivables; and
WHEREAS, the Seller has been requested and is willing to act as the
Subservicer.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE I - DEFINITIONS
Section 1.1. Certain Defined Terms. The capitalized terms used in
this Agreement shall have the respective meanings set forth on Exhibit A to this
Agreement.
Section 1.2. Other Terms. All accounting terms not specifically defined
in this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. All terms defined in Article 9 of the UCC, and not
specifically defined in this Agreement, are used in this Agreement as defined in
such Article 9 of the UCC.
ARTICLE II - PURCHASE AND SALE; ESTABLISHMENT OF ACCOUNTS
Section 2.1. Offer to Sell. Seller shall offer to sell, transfer,
assign and set over to Purchaser those Eligible Receivables set forth on a list
of such Eligible Receivables which such list shall be delivered by the Seller to
the Purchaser no later than three (3) Business Days prior to each Purchase Date.
Section 2.2. Purchase of Receivables. (a) Upon receipt of the list of
Eligible Receivables and offer to sell pursuant to Section 2.1, the Master
Servicer, in its sole discretion, will confirm which of the Eligible Receivables
offered by Seller that the Purchaser will Purchase. The Purchase of such
Receivables shall occur upon payment of the applicable Purchase Price as
provided at Section 2.3 of this Agreement. Upon Purchase of the Receivables,
Seller will have sold, transferred, assigned, set over and conveyed to
Purchaser, without recourse except as expressly provided herein, all of Seller=s
right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Receivables, and title to such
Purchased Receivables shall have passed to Purchaser at such time. The Seller
shall not take any action inconsistent with such ownership and, from and after
the date of such transfer, shall not claim any ownership in any Purchased
Receivable. The Seller shall indicate in its books and records that ownership
interest in any Purchased Receivable is held by the Purchaser. In addition, the
Seller shall respond to any inquiries with respect to ownership of a Purchased
Receivable by stating that it is no longer the owner of such Purchased
Receivable and that ownership of such Purchased Receivable is held by the
Purchaser. Documents containing Required Information regarding Purchased
Receivables shall be held in trust by the Seller and the Subservicer, for the
benefit of the Purchaser as the owner of the Purchased Receivables for the
purpose of collection, and possession of any Required Information relating to
the Purchased Receivables is so retained, in part, for the purpose of
facilitating
<PAGE>
the servicing of the Purchased Receivables and carrying out the terms of this
Agreement. As to Purchased Receivables, such retention and possession of
Required Information is at the will of the Purchaser and in a custodial capacity
for the benefit of the Purchaser only.
(b) If, in the event, the Purchaser does not otherwise
purchase Receivables pursuant to this Section which are (i) otherwise Eligible
Receivables of like character and quality to that which have been previously
purchased by Purchaser under this Agreement and (ii) provided there does not
exist an Event of Seller Default ("Discretionary Event"), then the Purchaser
shall provide the Seller with notice of the same within five Business Days of
Purchaser's receipt of the Seller's list of Receivables pursuant to Section 2.1
setting forth the reason(s) why such Receivables will not be purchased by the
Purchaser and the amount, if any, owed by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant
to Section 9.4 hereof.
Upon the occurrence of a Discretionary Event, the Seller may terminate this
Agreement effective upon the earlier of fifteen days following Purchaser's
written notice from Seller as to the same or the payment of any and all amounts
due and owing under this Agreement, and, the Purchaser hereby agrees that in
such event the Seller shall not be liable to the Purchaser for a Termination
Fee. The Purchaser further agrees that upon the complete and satisfactory
payment in full of all amounts due and owing the Purchaser under this Agreement
that it will deliver to the Seller any and all documentation reasonably
necessary, including the delivery of UCC-3 Releases and/or Termination
Statements, to acknowledge such termination. Subject to Purchaser's receipt of a
deposit from Seller sufficient to cover any then outstanding costs and other
amounts due and owing the Purchaser pursuant to Section 9.4 and any amounts
reasonably expected to pertain to the following, in the event this Agreement is
terminated as a result of a Discretionary Event the Purchaser agrees to prepare
and deliver UCC-3 Amendments and any other documentation reasonably necessary
within fifteen days of such Discretionary Event in order to amend the collateral
described in any and all UCC Financing Statements to be expressly limited to the
Purchased Receivables and the Customer Base relating thereto.
Section 2.3. Purchase Price and Payment. The Purchase Price for
Receivables purchased on any Purchase Date and paid by the Purchaser to the
Seller shall be an amount equal to the aggregate Net Values of such Purchased
Receivables and shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Seller by wire transfer on
such respective Purchase Date. The Purchase Price to be paid on such Purchase
Date shall be reduced by (a) the Program Fees as of such Purchase Date, (b) the
amount, if any, by which the Seller Credit Reserve Account (net of withdrawals
required hereunder) is less than the Specified Credit Reserve Balance as of such
Purchase Date, (c) any Rejected Receivable Amount, and (d) other amounts due the
Purchaser in accordance with Article VIII or Section 9.4 of this Agreement. At
any time the aggregate Net Value of all Purchased Receivables shall not exceed
the Purchase Commitment.
Section 2.4. Establishment of Accounts; Conveyance of Interests
Therein; Investments. (a) A Lockbox Account will be established or assigned, as
the case may be, for the benefit of the Purchaser into which all Collections
from Payors with respect to Receivables shall be deposited. The Lockbox Account
will be maintained at the expense of the Seller. The Seller agrees to deposit
all Collections it receives with respect to Receivables in said Lockbox Account
and will instruct all Payors to make all payments on Receivables to said Lockbox
Account. All funds in said Lockbox Account will be remitted to the Collection
Account as instructed by the Master Servicer not less than once every two
Business Days.
(b) The Purchaser has established and shall maintain the "Collection
Account" (the "Collection Account"), the "Purchase Account" (the "Purchase
Account") and the "Seller Credit Reserve Account" (the "Seller Credit Reserve
Account").
(c) The Seller does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and convey
to the Purchaser all right, title and interest of the Seller in and to all
amounts deposited, from time to time, in the Lockbox Account, the Collection
Account and the Seller Credit Reserve Account. Any Collections relating to
Receivables held by the Seller or the Subservicer pending deposit to the Lockbox
Account as provided in this Agreement, shall be held in trust for the benefit of
the Purchaser until such amounts are deposited into the Lockbox Account. All
Collections in respect of Purchased Receivables received by the Seller and not
deposited directly by the Payor in the Lockbox Account shall be remitted to the
Lockbox Account on
<PAGE>
the day of receipt or the following Business Day if the day of receipt is not a
Business Day, and if such Collections are not remitted by Seller on a timely
basis, in addition to its other remedies hereunder, the Purchaser shall be
entitled to receive a late charge (which shall be in addition to the Program
Fee) equal to 12% per annum or the maximum rate legally permitted if less than
such rate, calculated as of the first Business Day of such delinquency.
Section 2.5. Grant of Security Interest. It is the intention of the
parties to this Agreement that each payment of the Purchase Price by the
Purchaser to the Seller for Purchased Receivables to be made under this
Agreement shall constitute a sale of such Purchased Receivables and not a loan.
In the event, however, that a court of competent jurisdiction were to hold that
the transaction evidenced by this Agreement constitutes a loan and not a
purchase and sale, it is the intention of the parties that this Agreement shall
constitute a security agreement under the UCC and any other applicable law, and
that the Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Purchaser a first
priority perfected security interest in all of the Seller's right, title and
interest in, to and under the Purchased Receivables; all payments of principal
or interest on such Purchased Receivables; all amounts on deposit from time to
time in the Lockbox Account, the Collection Account and the Seller Credit
Reserve Account; all other rights relating to and payments made under this
Agreement, and all proceeds of any of the foregoing.
Section 2.6. Further Action Evidencing Purchases. The Seller agrees
that, from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver
all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be
necessary or appropriate, or that the Purchaser may reasonably request, in order
to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the transfer of ownership of the
Purchased Receivables or to enable the Purchaser to exercise or enforce any of
its rights hereunder.
ARTICLE III - CONDITIONS OF PURCHASES
Section 3.1. Conditions Precedent to All Purchases. Each Purchase
from the Seller by the Purchaser shall be subject to the conditions precedent
that as of each Purchase Date:

Eligible Receivable and the Purchaser may purchase such Receivable in the event
the Purchaser has confirmed its acceptance of such Receivable by written notice
to the Seller, such notice to be issued within ten days subsequent to
Purchaser's receipt of information necessary to evaluate such Receivable (in a
form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser) including but not limited to the

without the written consent of the Purchaser and the Master Servicer, which such
consent will not be unreasonably withheld:
(a) Sell, assign or otherwise dispose of, or create or suffer to exist
any Adverse Claim or lien upon any Receivable and related Contracts, its
Customer Base, the Lockbox Account, the Collection Account, or any other account
in which any Collections of any Receivable are deposited, or assign any right to

applicable to the chief executive office set forth on the signature page of this
Agreement; or
(d) Enter into or execute any Clearinghouse Agreement or Billing and
Collection Agreement (other than those listed on Exhibit 3 hereof) or any
material amendment or modification thereof.
Section 4.4. Repurchase Obligations. Upon discovery by any party to
this Agreement of a breach of any representation or warranty in this Article IV
which materially and adversely affects the value of a Purchased Receivable or
the interests of the Purchaser therein (herein a "Rejected Receivable"), the
party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other
parties to this Agreement which such notice shall set forth the reason(s) such
Purchased Receivables shall be considered Rejected Receivables. Thereafter, on
the next Purchase Date, the Net Value of the Rejected Receivables shall be
deducted from the amount otherwise payable to the Seller pursuant to Section 2.3
and deposited in the Collection Account. In the event that the full Net Value of
such Rejected Receivables is not deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to
the foregoing sentence, the Purchaser shall deduct any such deficiency from the
Excess Collection Amount or make demand upon the Seller to pay any such
deficiency to the Purchaser for deposit to the Collection Account. Upon full
payment of the amounts set forth above to the Collection Account, the Seller
will be deemed to have
<PAGE>
repurchased such Rejected Receivable.
ARTICLE V - ACCOUNTS ADMINISTRATION
Section 5.1. Collection Account. The Purchaser and the Master Servicer
acknowledge that certain amounts deposited in the Collection Account may relate
to Receivables other than Purchased Receivables and that such amounts continue
to be owned by the Seller. All such amounts shall be administered in accordance
with Section 5.3.
Section 5.2. Determinations of the Master Servicer. On each
Determination Date, the Master Servicer will determine, in good faith,
the following:
(a) the Net Value of all Purchased Receivables which have become
Rejected Receivables since the prior Purchase Date and which have not been
repurchased or offset in the manner set forth in Section 4.4 (the "Rejected
Receivable Amount");
(b) the amount of Collections up to the Purchase Price of all Purchased
Receivables received since the prior Determination Date (the "Paid Receivables
Amount");
(c) the Net Value of all Purchased Receivables which have become
Defaulted Receivables since the prior Purchase Date (the "Defaulted Receivable
Amount");
(d) the aggregate amount deposited in the Collection Account in excess
of the Purchase Price of each Purchased Receivable, including Collections
pertaining to Receivables not purchased under this Agreement, since the prior
Determination Date (the "Excess Collection Amount"); and
(e) the Net Value of all Purchased Receivables less the Rejected
Receivable Amount and the Defaulted Receivable Amount as of the current
Determination Date.
Unless the Seller disputes any of the foregoing determinations as
provided and set forth on a respective purchase certificate delivered by the
Purchaser and has delivered notice of such dispute to the Purchaser in writing
within twenty days of Seller's receipt of such determinations, the Purchaser's
or Master Servicer's determinations of the foregoing amounts shall be conclusive
in the absence of manifest error.
Section 5.3. Distributions from Accounts. (a) No later than 11:00
a.m. on each Determination Date, following the determinations set forth in
Section 5.2, the Master Servicer will make the following withdrawals and
deposits:
(i) withdraw the Paid Receivables Amount and the Rejected
Receivable Amount plus any outstanding Rejected Receivable Amount applicable to
any prior period from the Collection Account and deposit such amount in the
Purchase Account;
(ii) withdraw the Defaulted Receivable Amount from the Seller
Credit Reserve Account and deposit such amount in the Purchase Account;
provided, however, that such recourse is expressly limited to the monies which
comprise the Seller Credit Reserve Account at the time of such Determination
Date which shall not at any time exceed the Specified Credit Reserve Balance and
further provided that any excess of the then applicable Defaulted Receivable
Amount over the Specified Credit Reserve Balance on such Determination Date
shall not be carried forward to any future Determination Date and shall be for
the account of the Purchaser; and
(iii) withdraw all or a portion of, as the case may be, the
Excess Collection Amount and deposit such amount in the Seller Credit Reserve
Account to the extent that the Seller Credit Reserve Account balance is less
than the
<PAGE>
Specified Credit Reserve Balance.
(iv) withdraw the balance of the Excess Collection Amount in
accordance with Section 5.3(b) and remit such amount to the Seller.
(b) The full amount of the Purchase Price before any offsets shall be
withdrawn from the Purchase Account and paid and administered as follows: (i)
the Program Fee due and owing as of each respective Purchase Date shall be paid
to the Purchaser, (ii) the amount, if any, by which the Seller Credit Reserve
Account is less than the Specified Credit Reserve Balance as of such respective
Purchase Date shall be deposited in the Seller Credit Reserve Account, (iii) any
Rejected Receivable Amount shall be deemed to be a Collection with respect to
such Purchased Receivables and shall be deposited in the Collection Account, and
(iv) any remaining amount shall be paid to the Seller. Until the Termination
Date, with commercially reasonable best efforts on each Purchase Date or in any
event within two Business Days of each such Purchase Date, the Master Servicer
shall withdraw all amounts deposited hereunder (net of withdrawals required
hereunder) from the Seller Credit Reserve Account which are in excess of the
Specified Credit Reserve Balance and shall pay to the Purchaser all amounts due
and owing the Purchaser in accordance with Sections 2.3, 4.4, 5.2, 7.1(a) and
(b), 8.1 and 9.4 and pay the balance, if any, to the Seller by wire transfer;
provided, however, with respect to Receivables processed or cleared pursuant to
any Carrier Agreement, Clearinghouse Agreement or Billing and Collection
Agreement, if applicable, any Excess Collection Amount shall be retained by the
Purchaser in the Collection Account until such time that the Seller's billing
cycle (or batch) to which such Excess Collection Amount applies is deemed closed
by the Purchaser which, absent the occurrence of an Event of Seller Default and
provided that the Purchaser has received information in sufficient form and
format to allow the Purchaser to properly apply and/or post Collections against
Purchased Receivables, will occur no later than the next immediate Purchase Date
following such determination to an account designated by the Seller.
Section 5.4. Allocation of Moneys following Termination Date. Upon the
occurrence of a Termination Date hereunder, the Master Servicer shall administer
and monitor the Lockbox Account and any and all Collections and apply the amount
of such Collections to the outstanding Net Value of Purchased Receivables.
Following the Termination Date and the Purchaser's receipt of the Termination
Fee, if applicable, from the Seller, the Master Servicer shall, to the extent
funds deposited hereunder (net of withdrawals required hereunder) are
sufficient, withdraw an amount equal to the Program Fee from the Seller Credit
Reserve Account on each Purchase Date and deposit it in the Purchase Account. To
the extent that such funds do not equal the Program Fee, the Seller shall
deposit in the Purchase Account the balance of the Program Fee within five
Business Days following demand therefor. To the extent any Purchased Receivable
becomes a Defaulted Receivable, the Purchaser may withdraw an amount equal to
such Defaulted Receivable Amount from the Seller Credit Reserve Account and
deposit such amount in the Collection Account, provided, however, that such

FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE SELLER
December 21, 1998
RFC Capital Corporation
130 E. Chestnut Street
Columbus, Ohio 43215
Re: RFC Capital Corporation - Receivables Sale Agreement
----------------------------------------------------
Gentlemen and Ladies:
We have acted as legal counsel to ____________________________________
(the "Seller") in connection with the transactions contemplated by that
certain Receivables Sale Agreement (the "Sale Agreement"), dated as of
__________________________, 199 , by and among the Seller, a(n) corporation, and
RFC Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation, as Purchaser ("Purchaser") and
as Master Servicer ("Master Servicer"). All references herein to the Seller
shall refer to the Seller in its capacity as both Seller and Subservicer under
the Sale Agreement. This opinion is being delivered at the Seller's request.
Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings ascribed thereto in the Sale Agreement.
In this connection, we have examined the following:
i) An executed copy of the Sale Agreement and all exhibits and
attachments thereto;
ii) Copies of the UCC-1 financing statements executed by the
Seller as assignor/debtor and naming the Purchaser as
assignee/secured party relating to the Purchased Receivables
and all other Receivables generated by the Seller (the
"Financing Statements"), copies of which are attached hereto
as Annex 1;
iii) The results of the searches (the "Searches") conducted by the
Secretary of State of 1
[and the County Recorder, _________________________ County,
_________________________, as of ______________________,]2
certified by such filing offices on Form UCC- 11, as to
financing statements on Form UCC- I on file with such offices
and naming the Seller as a "debtor" as of such date,
copies of which are attached hereto as Annex 2A;
iv) [Add if applicable] [Executed copies of appropriate releases
of all outstanding financing statements relating to security
interests in accounts of the Seller in favor of third parties
which are reflected on the Searches and which shall be
released at closing] (the "Releases") copies of which are
attached hereto as Annex 213; and
- --------
1 All references to "State of " in this form of opinion mean
the state of the present location of the Seller.
2 UCC searches certified on form UCC-II by the appropriate
government officials should be dated within ten (10) days of
the closing of the transaction.
<PAGE>
v) Such other documents, records and papers as we have deemed
necessary and relevant as a basis for this opinion.
As to various questions of fact material to our opinions set forth
below we have relied upon certificates of officers of the Seller, copies of
which are attached hereto as Annex 3. Nothing has come to our attention in the
course of our representation of the Seller which leads us to believe that the
representations set forth in any of the foregoing certificates are inaccurate or
incomplete in any material respect.
In connection with the opinions set forth below we have assumed, with
your agreement, that each party to the Sale Agreement other than the Seller has
executed and delivered such Sale Agreement and has the corporate power and
authority to enter into and perform its obligations thereunder, and that the
execution, delivery and performance of the Sale Agreement by each party thereto
other than the Seller will not breach, contravene, conflict with, or constitute
a violation of any provision of the articles of incorporation or bylaws or other
organizational documents of such party, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust,
loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which such party is bound or
to which any of its property or assets is subject, or constitute a violation of
any law, statute, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, award, injunction or
decree of any Governmental Authority as to any such party.
In connection with the opinions set forth below which deal with the
perfection and priority of security interests, we have assumed that no financing
statements relating to Seller, the Receivables or the Purchased Receivables have
been misindexed or misfiled in the appropriate filing offices covered by the
Searches.
We have also assumed that all documents submitted to us as originals
are complete and authentic, that all copies of documents submitted to us conform
in all respects to the originals thereof, including all amendments or
modifications thereto; and that all signatures of parties, other than those of
the Seller and its authorized officers, to the respective documents are genuine.
We have also assumed that all documents or copies thereof examined by us have
been or will be duly, validly and properly authorized, executed, acknowledged
and delivered by all parties thereto other than the Seller.
As you have agreed, for purposes solely of ascertaining the existence
of security interests perfected by the filing of UCC financing statements, we
have limited our investigation to an examination of the Searches, which indicate
that there are no filed financing statements naming the Seller as debtor and
relating to the Seller's Receivables [,other than those which will be terminated
by the filing of the Releases].
For purposes of the opinion expressed in the first sentence of
Paragraph 4 below, we have assumed, with your consent, that the description of
"Purchased Receivables" set forth in the Sale Agreement accurately and
completely describes all of the Seller's Purchased Receivables being transferred
to the Purchaser pursuant to the Sale Agreement and the description of
"Receivable" set forth in the Sale Agreement accurately and completely describes
all of the Seller's Receivables generated by the Seller historically and from
time to time.
For purposes of the opinions expressed in Paragraphs 5 and 6 below,
with your agreement we have assumed that all transfers of Purchased Receivables
will have occurred in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the
Sale Agreement.
In addition to the foregoing, in rendering the opinions set forth
herein we have acted only as attorneys licensed to practice in the State of
___________________________ and do not hold ourselves out as being
knowledgeable as to the laws of any other jurisdiction. We therefore
express no opinions as to the effect of any laws other than federal laws
of the United States of America and the laws of the State of ________________.
In this regard, we note that [- if the Seller is located in a state other than
Ohio -] the Sale Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Ohio.
We have assumed, for purposes of issuing this letter, that insofar as the
laws of any such other jurisdiction are applicable to the matters set forth
below, such laws (including applicable conflict of laws provisions) are
identical to and will be
<PAGE>
interpreted in-all respects in the same manner as the laws of the State of
____________________________.
On the basis of the foregoing and subject to the limitations,
qualifications and exceptions set forth above, we are of the opinion as of the
date hereof that:
1. The Seller is a corporation duly organized and validly
existing under the laws of the State of ________________________,
is in good standing under the laws of the State of [state of organization] and
is duly qualified to do business, and is in good standing in each jurisdiction
in which it maintains an office and has the corporate power and authority to
own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as now
conducted. The Seller has made all filings with, and has obtained all necessary
or appropriate licenses and approvals from federal and State of _____________
Governmental Authorities, which such licenses and approvals are in full force
and effect as of the date hereof, that are necessary to permit the Seller to
own, lease and operate its properties, to lawfully generate telecommunication
receivables and to lawfully conduct its business as presently conducted, and to
consummate the transactions contemplated by the Sale Agreement.
2. The Seller has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver
and perform the Sale Agreement. The execution, delivery and performance of the
Sale Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the
Seller and such Sale Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation
of Seller enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its terms.
3. The execution and delivery of, and the performance of the
Purchaser's obligations under, the Sale Agreement does not and will not (a)
violate any provision of the Seller's articles of incorporation or bylaws, (b)
violate any statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation of the United States of
America or the State of binding on the Seller, (c) violate any orders,
judgments, writs or decrees known to us to which the Seller is subject in any
respect, or (d) violate or create a breach or default under any loan agreement,
indenture, note, evidence of indebtedness, mortgage, financing agreement, bond,
debenture or similar agreement or instrument relating to obligations of the
Seller for borrowed money or for the deferred purchase price of property or
services payable more than one year from the date of incurrence thereof or on
demand or relating to obligations of the Seller under capital leases which is
presently in effect and known to us and to which the Seller is a party of its
property is subject.
4. The Purchased Receivables and Receivables constitute "accounts" and
"general intangibles" within the meaning of the UCC. The Seller is "located" in
the State of _______________________ for purposes of Section 9- -103(3)(b)
of the UCC such that the laws (including the conflict of law rules) of the State
of ___________________________________ govern the perfection of security
interests in accounts and general intangibles of the Seller and the sale of
accounts by the Seller. The grant of a first priority security interest
in the Receivables, other than Purchased Receivables, is perfected by the
filing of appropriate UCC financing statements in the appropriate UCC
filing offices identified in paragraph 5(i) below. The transfers of the
Purchased Receivables are "true sales" of the Purchased Receivables to
the Purchaser. In the event, however, that a court of competent jurisdiction
were to hold that such transaction constitutes a loan and not a purchase and
sale, then the Sale Agreement creates a first priority perfected valid
security interest in the Receivables and Purchased Receivables in favor of
the Purchaser.
5. If transfers of the Purchased Receivables from the Seller to the
Purchaser pursuant to the Sale Agreement constitute a "true sale" of the
Purchased Receivables to the Purchaser, the execution and delivery of the Sale
Agreement and
(i) upon the proper filing of the Financing Statements
in the UCC filing offices of the Secretary of State
of _________________________, [and in the UCC filing
offices of the County Recorder of _________________
County,] and
<PAGE>
(ii) the delivery to the Payors of such Purchased
Receivables of the notices in the form of the notices
on Exhibit B to the Sale Agreement (assuming no such
prior notice has been delivered to any such Payor by
any person claiming an interest in the Purchased
Receivables, and we hereby advise you that we have no
knowledge that the Seller has previously made any
such assignment thereof or granted any such lien or
encumbrance thereupon);
are effective under the laws of the [State or Location of Seller] to vest title
thereto in the Purchaser, and all necessary steps have been taken under the laws
of the State of [location of Seller] to protect the Purchaser's ownership
interest in the Purchased Receivables now existing, and hereafter created,
against creditors of, or subsequent Purchasers from, the Seller, provided that
(x) if the transfers of the Purchased Receivables are
deemed to be subject to Article 9 of the UCC, or
previously filed financing statements, priority may
be subject to financing statements effective as a
result of Section 9-401(2) of the UCC, or
(y) if the Purchased Receivables are deemed to be
interests or claims "in or under any policy of
insurance" under '9-104(g) of the UCC, priority may
be subject to [in English rule states: prior notices
to payors of such policies] [in American rule
states: prior sales of such Purchased Receivables]. 3
The filing of the Financing Statements in the filing offices identified in
paragraph 5(i) above are the only filings required to be made in the State of
__________________ to evidence, provide notice to third parties with respect
to, or otherwise perfect the Purchaser's ownership interest in the
Purchased Receivables and the Purchaser's security interest in all
Receivables other than Purchased Receivables under any applicable law of
the State of ____________________. No other filings, either in the filing
offices identified in paragraph 5(i) or in any other filing offices in the
State of ________________, are required or are advisable to be made to
evidence, provide notice to third parties with respect to, or otherwise
perfect such interests, or to establish the priority of the Purchaser's
interest with respect to such Purchased Receivables.
6. If the transfers of the Purchased Receivables from the Seller to the
Purchaser pursuant to the Sale Agreement does not constitute a "true sale" of
the Purchased Receivables to the Purchaser, the Sale Agreement creates a valid
security interest in favor of the Purchaser in the Purchased Receivables from
time to time transferred to the Purchaser pursuant to the Sale Agreement, which
security interest will constitute
(i) upon the proper filing of the Financing Statements in
the UCC filing offices of the Secretary of State of
____________________, [and in the UCC filing offices
of the County Recorder of _____________, County,] and
(ii) upon the delivery to the Payors of such Purchased
Receivables of the notices
- --------------------
3 As to assignments of accounts and intangibles, if the UCC is not applicable
because of Section 9-104, most jurisdictions follow either the so-called
"American rule" (which in general provides that the transfer of an interest
therein is made effective by a written assignment, with priority being granted
to the assignment which is first in time) or the so-called "English
rule" (which in general provides that the transfer of an interest therein
is only effective if notice is given to the payor). Counsel should choose one
approach or the other in completing paragraph 5(y) or, if the law in the
jurisdiction is unsettled, counsel may include both as exceptions (i.e., by
indicating in paragraph 5(y) "prior notices to payors of such policies
or prior sales of such Purchased Receivables").
<PAGE>
in the form of the notices on Exhibit B to the Sale
Agreement (assuming that no such prior notice has
been delivered to any such Payor by any person
claiming an interest in the Purchased Receivables and
we hereby advise you that we have no knowledge that
the Seller has previously delivered any prior
notice);
a security interest (perfected under the UCC and under other appropriate law to
the extent applicable) in the Seller's right, title and interest in and to the
Purchased Receivables and the proceeds thereof now existing, and hereafter
created, prior and senior to all other liens, provided that:
(x) if the granting of a security interest in the
Purchased Receivables is deemed to be subject to
Article 9 of the UCC or previously filed financing
statements, priority may be subject to financing
statements effective as a result of Section 9-401(2)
of the UCC, or
(y) if the Purchased Receivables are deemed to be
interests or claims "in or under any policy of
insurance" under '9-104(g) of the UCC, priority may
be subject to [in English rule states: prior notices
to payors of such policies] [in American rule states:
prior sales of such Purchased Receivables].
The filing of the Financing Statements in the filing offices identified in
paragraph 6(i) above are the only filings required to be made in the State of
_______________ to evidence, provide notice to third parties with respect to,
or otherwise perfect the Purchaser's security interest in the Purchased
Receivables under any applicable law of the State of _____________________.
No other filings, either in the filing offices identified in paragraph
6(i) or in any other filing offices in the State of ____________, are required
or are advisable to be made to evidence, provide notice to third parties
with respect to, or otherwise perfect such interests, or to establish
the priority of the Purchaser's interest with respect to such Purchased
Receivables.
7. A State of ____________ court and a federal court sitting in the
State of would give effect to the choice of law provisions of the Sale
Agreement, except that such court may apply State of law to (a) certain
remedial and procedural rights, (b) matters of public policy, (c) matters
pertaining to the perfection and priority of security interests,
and (d) matters as to which Ohio law cannot be proven to such court to be
sufficiently authoritative or certain for such court to rely on it.
8. No consent of, or other action by, and no notice to or filing with,
or licensing by any federal or State of _____________ Governmental Authority
or any other party (except for those consents required under Section ___________
of the Sale Agreement which have been provided by the Seller to the
Purchaser) is required for the due execution, delivery and performance by the
Seller of the Sale Agreement or any other agreement, document or instrument to
be delivered thereunder or for the perfection of or the exercise by the Seller,
the Purchaser or the Master Servicer of any of their rights or remedies
thereunder. The transactions contemplated by the Sale Agreement will not cause
the Purchaser to be subjected to any obligation to pay any transfer tax to any
Governmental Authority in the State of _______________,
including without limitation any transfer, sales, use, added value,
documentary stamp or other similar transfer tax other than [describe any
such taxes which are applicable].
9. To the best of our knowledge, there are no actions or proceedings
against or affecting the Seller or any of its assets, pending or threatened,
before any Governmental Authority (including, without limitation, any federal or
state court of competent jurisdiction) (i) which seek to affect the
enforceability of the Sale Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby,
or (ii) which, if determined adversely, would materially and adversely affect
the ability of the Seller to perform its obligations under the Sale Agreement.

Our opinions set forth herein are subject to the following
qualifications and exceptions:
(a) The effect of certain laws governing bankruptcy,
reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium and
insolvency and relating to or affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally, including, but not limited to,
the right to take or retain personal property encumbered by
the Sale Agreement and the Financing Statements;
(b) The application of general principles of equity (regardless of
whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);
(c) Standards of commercial reasonableness and good faith;
(d) In the case of proceeds, perfection of security interests is
limited to the extent set forth in Section 9-306 of the UCC;
(e) Continuation of perfection in any proceeds which are subject
to a security interest or in any after acquired property may,
if such proceeds or after acquired property consist of
property of a type in which a perfected security interest
cannot be obtained by filing a financing statement, require
additional compliance with applicable provisions of the UCC
and we express no opinion as to the perfection, priority an
effectiveness of any security interest in any proceeds of the
Purchased Receivables initially subject to the security
interest or after acquired property to the extent that
perfection, priority or effectiveness depends upon additional
compliance with the UCC. Any change (from one state to
another state) in the location of the Seller's place of
business or chief executive offices to a location outside of
the State of ______________________, or any change in the
name, identity or corporate structure of the Seller that
would make a filed financing statement seriously misleading,
may result in the lapse of perfection of the security
interest to the extent that perfection is dependent on filing
unless new and appropriate financing statements are filed
in a timely manner; and
(f) In the case of collateral (as such term is defined in Article
9 of the UCC) in which a debtor (as such term is defined in
Article 9 of the UCC) has no present rights, a security
interest will be created therein only when the debtor acquires
rights to such collateral.
Our opinions expressed herein are limited to those matters expressly
set forth herein, and no opinion may be implied or inferred beyond the matters
expressly stated herein. Further, the opinions expressed herein are being
rendered solely in connection with the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Sale Agreement to which Seller is a party, and may not be
relied upon for any other purpose.
Our opinions are rendered only as of the date hereof and we assume no
obligation to update or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or
circumstances that may hereafter occur or to reflect the applicability of any
laws that may affect the transactions contemplated by the Sale Agreement after
the date hereof.
In addition to the foregoing, this letter may not be distributed to,
furnished to or relied upon by any person without the express written consent of
this firm, provided, however, that any assignee of the Purchaser pursuant to the
Sale Agreement may likewise rely upon this opinion as if named as an addressee
herein.
Very truly yours,
