DEFINITIONS

Unless otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Agreement are defined in Exhibit I to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 28, 2013 (the "Closing Date"), among the Buyer, as seller, Celanese International Corporation, as initial Servicer (in such capacity, the "Servicer"), the Purchasers and Purchaser Agents from time to time party thereto, and The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, UFJ, Ltd., New York Branch, as Administrator (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Receivables Purchase Agreement").

BACKGROUND:

1.    The Originators (other than Celanese U.S. Sales) are party to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of the Closing Date, among the Buyer, Celanese, Ltd., Ticona, Celanese Acetate, LLC ("Celanese Acetate" and, together with Celanese Ltd. and Ticona, the "Initial Originators"), and Celanese International (the "Original Agreement").

2.    The Buyer is a special purpose limited liability company, all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of which were, prior to the date hereof, owned by Celanese Acetate, but have, on the date hereof, been transferred by Celanese Acetate to Celanese U.S. Sales.

AMENDED AND RESTATED PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT Page 1

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein contained, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE AND SELL

SECTION 1.1    Agreement To Purchase and Sell. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Originator, severally and for itself, agrees to sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer agrees to purchase from such Originator, from time to time on and after the Effective Date (as defined in Section 4.1), but before the Purchase and Sale Termination Date (as defined in Section 1.4), all of such Originator's right, title and interest in and to:

(a)    each Receivable (other than Contributed Receivables (as defined in Section 3.1(a)) generated by such Originator from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the Purchase and Sale Termination Date;

(b)    all of such Originator's interest in any goods (including returned goods), and documentation of title evidencing the shipment or storage of any goods (including returned goods), the sale of which gave rise to such Receivable;

(c)    all instruments and chattel paper that may evidence such Receivable;

(d)    all other security interests or liens and property subject thereto from time to time purporting to secure payment of such Receivable, whether pursuant to the Contract related to such Receivable or otherwise, together with all UCC financing statements or similar filings relating thereto;

(e)    solely to the extent applicable to such Receivable, all of such Originator's rights, interests and claims under the related Contracts and all guaranties, indemnities, insurance and other agreements (including the related Contract) or arrangements of whatever character from time to time supporting or securing payment of such Receivable or otherwise relating to such Receivable, whether pursuant to the Contract related to such Receivable or otherwise;

(f)    all rights, remedies, powers, privileges, title and interest (but not obligations) in and to each lock-box address and all Lock-Box Accounts, into which any Collections or other proceeds with respect to such Receivables may be deposited, and any related investment property acquired with any such Collections or other proceeds (as such term is defined in the applicable UCC); and

(g)    all Collections and other proceeds (as defined in the UCC) of any of the foregoing that are or were received by such Originator on or after the Effective Date, including, without limitation, all funds which either are received by such Originator, the Buyer or the Servicer from or on behalf of the Obligors in payment of any amounts owed (including, without limitation, invoice price, finance charges, interest and all other charges) in respect of any of the above Receivables or are applied to such amounts owed by the Obligors (including, without limitation,

AMENDED AND RESTATED PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT Page 2

any insurance payments that such Originator, the Buyer or the Servicer applies in the ordinary course of its business to amounts owed in respect of any of the above Receivables, and net proceeds of sale or other disposition of repossessed goods or other collateral or property of the Obligors in respect of any of the above Receivables or any other parties directly or indirectly liable for payment of such Receivables).

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 Originators set forth in this Agreement. No obligation or liability to any Obligor on any Receivable is intended to be assumed by the Buyer hereunder, and any such assumption is expressly disclaimed. The property, proceeds and rights described in clauses (c) through (g) above, including with respect to any Contributed Receivable, are herein referred to as the "Related Rights", and the Buyer's foregoing commitment to purchase Receivables and Related Rights is herein called the "Purchase Facility."

SECTION 1.2    Timing of Purchases.

(a)    Pre-Effective Date Purchases. Pursuant to the Original Agreement, on the Closing Date and on each Business Day thereafter between the Closing Date and the Business Day immediately prior to the Effective Date, each Initial Originator did sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer did purchase, each such Initial Originator's entire right, title and interest in (i) each Receivable (other than Contributed Receivables (as defined in Section 3.1)) that existed and was owing to such Originator as of July 31, 2013 (the "Cut-Off Date"), (ii) each Receivable (other than Contributed Receivables) generated by such Person from and including the Cut-Off Date, to and including the Closing Date, (iii) each Receivable (other than Contributed Receivables) generated by such Person from and after the Closing Date to and including the Business Day immediately preceding the Effective Date and (iv) all Related Rights with respect thereto. Each of the foregoing purchases and sales pursuant to the Original Agreement is hereby ratified and confirmed, and rights, duties and obligations of the Buyer and each Originator with respect thereto shall be governed by the terms of (x) solely in the case of Celanese Acetate and the Buyer's rights, duties and obligations with respect to Celanese Acetate, the Original Agreement, and (y) in all other cases, this Agreement.

(b)    Purchases. On and after the Effective Date, until the Purchase and Sale Termination Date, each Receivable and the Related Rights generated by each Originator shall be, and shall be deemed to have been, sold or contributed, as applicable, by such Originator to the Buyer immediately (and without further action) upon the creation of such Receivable.

SECTION 1.3    Consideration for Purchases. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer agrees to make Purchase Price payments to the Originators and to reflect all capital contributions in accordance with Article III.

SECTION 1.4    Purchase and Sale Termination Date. The "Purchase and Sale Termination Date" shall be the earlier to occur of (a) the date the Purchase Facility is terminated pursuant to Section 8.2 and (b) the Payment Date immediately following the day on which the Originators shall have given written notice to the Buyer, the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent at or prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) that the Originators desire to terminate this Agreement.

AMENDED AND RESTATED PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT Page 3

SECTION 1.5    Intention of the Parties. It is the express intent of each Originator and the Buyer that each conveyance by such Originator to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement of the Receivables, including without limitation, all Receivables, if any, constituting general intangibles as defined in the UCC, and all Related Rights be construed as a valid and perfected sale and absolute assignment (without recourse except as provided herein) of such Receivables and Related Rights by such Originator to the Buyer (rather than the grant of a security interest to secure a debt or other obligation of such Originator) and that the right, title and interest in and to such Receivables and Related Rights conveyed to the Buyer be prior to the rights of and enforceable against all other Persons at any time, including, without limitation, lien creditors, secured lenders, purchasers and any Person claiming through such Originator. The parties acknowledge that certain terms used under Article 9 of the UCC as enacted in the States of Texas and New York and any other applicable jurisdiction (without distinguishing the applicable jurisdiction, "Article 9") for secured loan transactions also apply to outright sales of receivables, including "debtor," "secured party," and "security interest," which applies to the Buyer's outright ownership interest. Thus, such terms, and other terms used in Article 9, will apply to this Agreement, and may be used in this Agreement or in connection with this Agreement and such use does not affect the nature of the outright sale of the Receivables by the Originators to the Buyer. Thus, under the Article 9 drafting convention, the outright sale of the Receivables may be described as a transaction by which the Originators have granted to the Buyer a security interest in, among other things, the Receivables. However, if, contrary to the mutual intent of the parties, any conveyance of Receivables, including without limitation any Receivables constituting general intangibles as defined in the UCC, and all Related Rights is not construed to be both a valid and perfected sale and absolute assignment of such Receivables and Related Rights, and a conveyance of such Receivables and Related Rights that is prior to the rights of and enforceable against all other Persons at any time, including without limitation lien creditors, secured lenders, purchasers and any Person claiming through such Originator, then, it is the intent of such Originator and the Buyer that (i) this Agreement also shall be deemed to be, and hereby is, a security agreement within the meaning of the UCC; and (ii) such Originator shall be deemed to have granted to the Buyer as of the date of this Agreement, and such Originator hereby grants to the Buyer a security interest in, to and under all of such Originator's right, title and interest in and to: (A) the Receivables and the Related Rights now existing and hereafter created by such Originator transferred or purported to be transferred hereunder, (B) all monies due or to become due and all amounts received with respect thereto and (C) all books and records of such Originator to the extent related to any of the foregoing.

ARTICLE II

PURCHASE REPORT; CALCULATION OF PURCHASE PRICE

SECTION 2.1    Purchase Report. On the Closing Date and on each date when an Information Package is due to be delivered under the Receivables Purchase Agreement (each such date, a "Monthly Purchase Report Date"), the Servicer shall deliver to the Buyer and each Originator a report in substantially the form of Exhibit A (each such report being herein called a "Purchase Report") setting forth, among other things:

(a)    [Reserved];

AMENDED AND RESTATED PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT Page 4

(b)    Receivables purchased by the Buyer from each Originator, or contributed to the capital of the Buyer by Celanese U.S. Sales, during the calendar month immediately preceding such Monthly Purchase Report Date (in the case of each subsequent Purchase Report); and

(c)    the calculations of reductions of the Purchase Price for any Receivables as provided in Section 3.4 (a) and(b).

SECTION 2.2    Calculation of Purchase Price. The "Purchase Price" to be paid to each Originator for the Receivables that are purchased hereunder from such Originator shall be determined in accordance with the following formula:

PP	=	OB x FMVD
where:
PP	=	Purchase Price for each Receivable as calculated on the relevant Payment Date.
OB	=	The Outstanding Balance of such Receivable on the relevant Payment Date.
FMVD	=	Fair Market Value Discount, as measured on such Payment Date, which is equal to the quotient (expressed as percentage) of (a) one divided by (b) the sum of (i) one, plus (ii) the product of (A) the Prime Rate on such Payment Date, and (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Average Portfolio Turnover (calculated as of the last day of the calendar month immediately preceding such Payment Date) and the denominator of which is 365 or 366, as applicable.

"Payment Date" means each Business Day that the Originators are open for business.

"Prime Rate" means a perannum rate equal to the "U.S. Prime Rate" as published in the "Money Rates" section of The Wall Street Journal or if such information ceases to be published in The Wall Street Journal, such other publication as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion.

ARTICLE III

CONTRIBUTIONS AND PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE

SECTION 3.1    Initial Contribution of Receivables and Initial Purchase Price Payment.

(a)    Pursuant to the Original Agreement, prior to the date hereof, Celanese Acetate contributed to the capital of the Buyer certain of its Receivables and Related Rights. Each of the foregoing contributions made by Celanese Acetate pursuant to the Original Agreement is hereby ratified and confirmed, and rights, duties and obligations of the Buyer and Celanese Acetate with respect thereto shall be governed by the terms of the Original Agreement. Each Receivable

AMENDED AND RESTATED PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT Page 5

contributed by Celanese Acetate to the capital of the Buyer described in this Section 3.1(a) and by Celanese U.S. Sales pursuant to Section 3.2 below is herein referred to as a "Contributed Receivable".

(b)    On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Original Agreement, the Buyer paid to each Initial Originator the Purchase Price for the purchases made from such Initial Originator on the Closing Date and each Payment Date (i) to the extent the Buyer had cash available therefor, partially in cash and, solely in the case of Celanese Acetate if elected by Celanese Acetate in its sole discretion, by accepting a contribution to the Buyer's capital and (ii) the remainder by increasing the principal balance owing under a promissory note issued by the Buyer on the Closing Date in favor of such Initial Originator in substantially the form of Exhibit B (each such promissory note, as it may be amended, supplemented, endorsed or otherwise modified from time to time, together with all promissory notes issued from time to time in substitution therefor or renewal thereof in accordance with the Transaction Documents, each being herein called a "Subordinated Note").

(c)    On the Effective Date, Celanese Acetate will assign and convey all of its right, title and interest in its Subordinated Note to Celanese U.S. Sales together with all of its right, title and interest in Receivables, if any, originated prior to the Effective Date, and Related Rights.

SECTION 3.2    Purchase Price Payments. On each Payment Date on or after the Effective Date, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer shall pay to each Originator the Purchase Price for the Receivables generated by such Originator on such Payment Date:

(a)    First, in cash to the extent the Buyer has cash available therefor (and such payment is not prohibited under the Receivables Purchase Agreement) and/or, if requested by such Originator, by causing an LC Bank to issue one or more Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 3.3 and on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Article III and the Receivables Purchase Agreement;

(b)    Second, solely in the case of Celanese U.S. Sales, if elected by Celanese U.S. Sales in its sole discretion, to the extent any portion of the Purchase Price remains unpaid, by accepting a contribution of such Receivable and the Related Rights to its capital in an amount equal to such remaining unpaid portion of such Purchase Price; and

(c)    Third, to the extent any portion of the Purchase Price remains unpaid, the principal amount outstanding under the applicable Subordinated Note shall be automatically increased by an amount equal to the lesser of (x) such remaining unpaid portion of such Purchase Price and (y) the maximum increase in the principal balance of the applicable Subordinated Note that could be made without rendering the Buyer's Net Worth less than the Required Capital Amount;

provided, however, that if more than one Originator is selling Receivables to the Buyer on the date of such purchase, the Buyer shall make cash payments among the Originators in such a way as to minimize to the greatest extent practicable the aggregate principal amounts outstanding under the Subordinated Notes; provided, further, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to require Celanese U.S. Sales to make any capital contribution to the Buyer. For the avoidance of doubt, no

AMENDED AND RESTATED PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT Page 6

portion of the Purchase Price shall be deemed to remain unpaid for purposes of the foregoing to the extent that a Letter of Credit has been issued and applied as a credit against the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 3.3.

"Net Worth" has the meaning set forth in the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

"Required Capital Amount" means $20,000,000.

The Servicer shall make all appropriate record keeping entries with respect to each of the Subordinated Notes to reflect the foregoing payments and payments and reductions made pursuant to Sections 3.3 and 3.4, and the Servicer's books and records shall constitute rebuttable presumptive evidence of the principal amount of, and accrued interest on, each of the Subordinated Notes at any time. Each Originator hereby irrevocably authorizes the Servicer to mark the Subordinated Notes "CANCELED" and to return such Subordinated Notes to the Buyer upon the final payment thereof after the occurrence of the Purchase and Sale Termination Date.

SECTION 3.3    Letters of Credit.

(a)    An Originator may request that the Purchase Price for Receivables sold on a Payment Date be paid by the Buyer procuring the issuance of a Letter of Credit by an LC Bank. Upon the request of an Originator, and on the terms and conditions for issuing Letters of Credit under the Receivables Purchase Agreement (including any limitations therein on the amount of any such issuance), the Buyer agrees to cause such LC Bank to issue, on the Payment Dates specified by such Originator, Letters of Credit on behalf of the Buyer (and, if applicable, on behalf of, or for the account of, such Originator or an Affiliate of such Originator) in favor of the beneficiaries elected by such Originator or Affiliate of such Originator, with the consent of the Buyer. The aggregate stated amount of the Letters of Credit being issued on any Payment Date on behalf of any Originator or an Affiliate of such Originator shall constitute a credit against the aggregate Purchase Price otherwise payable by the Buyer to such Originator on such Payment Date pursuant to Section 3.2. To the extent that the aggregate stated amount of the Letters of Credit being issued on any Payment Date exceeds the aggregate Purchase Price payable by the Buyer to an Originator on such Payment Date, such excess shall be deemed to be a (i) reduction in the outstanding principal balance of (and, to the extent necessary, the accrued but unpaid interest on) the Subordinated Note payable to such Originator, to the extent the outstanding principal balance (and accrued interest) is greater than such excess and/or (ii) a reduction in the Purchase Price payable on the Payment Dates immediately following the date any such Letter of Credit is issued. In the event that any such Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Section 3.3 (i) expires or is cancelled or otherwise terminated with all or any portion of its stated amount undrawn, (ii) has its stated amount decreased (for a reason other than a drawing having been made thereunder) or (iii) the Buyer's Reimbursement Obligation in respect thereof is reduced for any reason other than by virtue of a payment made in respect of a drawing thereunder, then an amount equal to such undrawn amount or such reduction, as the case may be, shall either be paid in cash to such Originator on the next Payment Date or, if the Buyer does not then have cash available therefor, shall be deemed to be (x) solely in the case of Celanese U.S. Sales, if elected by Celanese U.S. Sales in its sole discretion, a contribution to the capital of the Buyer, and (y) otherwise, added to the outstanding principal balance of the Subordinated Note issued

AMENDED AND RESTATED PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT Page 7

to such Originator. Under no circumstances shall any Originator (or any Affiliate thereof (other than the Buyer)) have any reimbursement or recourse obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit.

(b)    In the event that any Originator requests that any purchases be paid for by the issuance of a Letter of Credit hereunder, such Originator shall on a timely basis provide the Buyer with such information as is necessary for the Buyer to obtain such Letter of Credit from the applicable LC Bank, and shall notify the Buyer, the Servicer, each Purchaser Agent and the Administrator of the allocations described in clause (a) above. Such allocations shall be binding on the Buyer and the applicable Originator, absent manifest error.

(c)    Each Originator agrees to be bound by the terms of each Letter of Credit Application referenced in the Receivables Purchase Agreement and that each Letter of Credit shall be subject either to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (2007 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600, and any amendments or revisions thereof adhered to by the applicable LC Bank or the International Standby Practices (ISP98-International Chamber of Commerce Publication Number 590), and any amendments or revisions thereof adhered to by the applicable LC Bank, as determined by such LC Bank, in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

(d)    Pursuant to Section 3.3(a) of the Original Agreement, prior to the Effective Date, the Buyer caused the LC Banks to issue certain Letters of Credit for the account of Celanese Acetate (for the benefit of Celanese Acetate or one or more Affiliates of Celanese Acetate) as payment of a portion of the Purchase Price owing by the Buyer to Celanese Acetate for Receivables and Related Rights conveyed by Celanese Acetate to the Buyer under the Original Agreement, which Letters of Credit remain undrawn and outstanding (the "Existing Acetate LCs"). Celanese Acetate desires to cancel each Existing Acetate LC and to account for such cancelation in accordance with Section 3.3(a) of the Original Agreement, and Celanese U.S. Sales desires to obtain Letters of Credit identical to the Existing Acetate LCs pursuant to Section 3.3(a) of this Agreement. Therefore, for administrative convenience in order to avoid the necessity of canceling the Existing Acetate LCs and issuing new Letters of Credit identical to the Existing Acetate LCs, the parties hereto agree that, effective as of the Effective Date, each Existing Acetate LC shall be deemed to have been issued and outstanding at the request of Celanese U.S. Sales pursuant to Section 3.3(a) of this Agreement as payment of a portion of the Purchase Price from time to time payable by the Buyer to Celanese U.S. Sales, rather than at the request of Celanese Acetate pursuant to Section 3.3(a) of the Original Agreement, and for purposes of Section 3.3(a) of the Original Agreement, each Existing Acetate LC shall be deemed to have been cancelled and shall be accounted for between the Buyer and Celanese Acetate in accordance with such Section.

SECTION 3.4    Settlement as to Specific Receivables and Dilution.

(a)    If, (i) on the day of purchase of any Receivable from an Originator hereunder, any of the representations or warranties set forth in Sections 5.9, 5.19, 5.22 or 5.23 are not true with respect to such Receivable or (ii) as a result of any action or inaction (other than solely as a result of the failure to collect such Receivable due to a discharge in bankruptcy or similar insolvency proceeding or other credit related reasons with respect to the relevant Obligor) of such Originator, on any subsequent day, any of such representations or warranties set forth in Sections 5.9, 5.19,

AMENDED AND RESTATED PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT Page 8

5.22 or 5.23 is no longer true with respect to such Receivable, then the Purchase Price for such Receivable shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable (or, if such Receivable fails to meet the requirement of Section 5.22 because it is subject to a dispute, counterclaim or hold back defense, adverse claim, litigation or right of set-off or offset or netting arrangement, then the Purchase Price for such Receivable shall be reduced only to the extent described in clause (f) of the definition of "Eligible Receivables") and shall be accounted to such Originator as provided in clause (c) below; provided, that if the Buyer thereafter receives payment on account of the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable, the Buyer promptly shall deliver such funds to such Originator.

(b)    If, on any day, the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable purchased or contributed hereunder is either (a) reduced or canceled as a result of (i) any defective, rejected or returned goods or services, any cash or other discount, or any failure by an Originator to deliver any goods or perform any services or otherwise perform under the underlying Contract or invoice, (ii) any change in or cancellation of any of the terms of such Contract or invoice or any other adjustment by an Originator, the Servicer or the Buyer which reduces the amount payable by the Obligor on the related Receivable, (iii) any rebates, warranties, allowances or charge-backs, or (iv) any setoff or credit in respect of any claim by the Obligor thereof (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related transaction or an unrelated transaction), or (b) subject to any specific dispute, offset, counterclaim or defense whatsoever (except the discharge in bankruptcy of the Obligor thereof), then the Purchase Price with respect to such Receivable shall be reduced by the amount of such net reduction or dispute and shall be accounted to such Originator as provided in clause (c) below.

(c)    Any reduction in the Purchase Price of any Receivable pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above shall be applied as a credit for the account of the Buyer against the Purchase Price of Receivables subsequently purchased by the Buyer from such Originator hereunder; provided, however if there have been no purchases of Receivables from such Originator (or insufficiently large purchases of Receivables) to create a Purchase Price sufficient to so apply such credit against, the amount of such credit:

(i)    to the extent of any outstanding principal balance under the Subordinated Note payable to such Originator, shall be deemed to be a payment under, and shall be deducted from the principal amount outstanding under, the Subordinated Note payable to such Originator; and

(ii)    after making any deduction pursuant to clause (i) above, shall be paid in cash to the Buyer by such Originator in the manner and for application as described in the following proviso;

provided, further, that at any time (x) when a Termination Event or an Unmatured Termination Event exists under the Receivables Purchase Agreement or (y) on or after the Purchase and Sale Termination Date, the amount of any such credit shall be paid by such Originator to the Buyer by deposit in immediately available funds into a Lock-Box Account for application by the Servicer to the same extent as if Collections of the applicable Receivable in such amount had actually been received on such date.

AMENDED AND RESTATED PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT Page 9

SECTION 3.5    Reconveyance of Receivables. In the event that the Purchase Price of a Receivable has been reduced to zero, and the credit for such reduction has been applied pursuant to Section 3.4, the Buyer shall reconvey such Receivable to such Originator, without representation or warranty, but free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges, and encumbrances created by the Buyer.

SECTION 5.12    Anti-Terrorism Laws, Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions.

(a)    To the extent applicable, each of the Originators and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with (i) the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, and each of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) and any other enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto and (ii) the PATRIOT Act, except for such non-compliance that could not, based upon the facts and circumstances existing at the time, reasonably be expected to (x) result in a Material Adverse Effect or (y) result in material liability to any Affected Person. No part of the proceeds of the purchases contemplated hereunder or any Letters of Credit will be used, directly or, to the knowledge of the Originators, indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

(b)    None of the Originators, their respective Subsidiaries, nor, to the knowledge of any Originator, any director, officer, agent, employee or Affiliate of an Originator or any of its Subsidiaries, (i) is a person on the list of "Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons" or (ii) is currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department ("OFAC"); and no Originator will directly or, to its knowledge, indirectly use the proceeds of the purchases contemplated hereunder or Letters of Credit or otherwise knowingly make available such proceeds to any person, for the purpose of financing the activities of any person currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC, if such activities would be prohibited for a U.S. person pursuant to OFAC.

Adequate provisions in accordance with GAAP for taxes on the books of such Originator have been made for all open years and for the current fiscal period.

SECTION 5.15    ERISA.

(a)    Each of the Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries and the ERISA Affiliates is in compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the provisions of the Code relating to Plans and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder and any similar applicable non-U.S. law, except for such noncompliance that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Reportable Event has occurred during the past five years other than a Reportable Event that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, individually or when taken together with all other such ERISA Events which have occurred or for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Parent, the Parent Subsidiaries or the ERISA Affiliates has received any written notification that any Multiemployer Plan is in reorganization or has been terminated within the meaning of Title IV of ERISA, or has knowledge that any Multiemployer Plan is reasonably expected to be in reorganization or to be terminated, where such reorganization or termination has had or would reasonably be expected to have, through increases in the contributions required to be made to such Plan or otherwise, a Material Adverse Effect.

(b)    Each of the Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries is in compliance (i) with all applicable provisions of law and all applicable regulations and published interpretations thereunder with respect to any employee pension benefit plan governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States and (ii) with the terms of any such plan, except, in each case, for such noncompliance that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 5.18    Ordinary Course of Business. Each of the Originators and Buyer represents and warrants as to itself that each remittance of Collections by such Originator to the Buyer under this Agreement will have been (i) in payment of a debt incurred by such Originator in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of such Originator and the Buyer and (ii) made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of such Originator and the Buyer.

SECTION 5.19    Perfection; Good Title. Immediately preceding its sale or contribution of each Receivable hereunder, such Originator was the owner of such Receivable sold or contributed or purported to be sold or contributed, as the case may be, free and clear of any Adverse Claims, and each such sale or contribution hereunder constitutes a valid sale, transfer and assignment of all of such Originator's right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables sold or contributed by it, free and clear of any Adverse Claims. On or before the date hereof and before the generation by such Originator of any new Receivable to be sold, contributed or otherwise conveyed hereunder, all financing statements and other documents, if any, required to be recorded or filed in order to perfect and protect the Buyer's ownership interest in such Receivable against all creditors of and purchasers from such Originator will have been duly filed in each filing office necessary for such purpose, and all filing fees and taxes, if any, payable in connection with such filings shall have been paid in full. Upon the creation of each new Receivable sold, contributed or otherwise conveyed or purported to be conveyed hereunder and on the Closing Date for then existing Receivables, the Buyer shall have a valid and perfected first priority ownership or security interest in each Receivable sold to it hereunder, free and clear of any Adverse Claim.

SECTION 5.20    Reliance on Separate Legal Identity. Such Originator acknowledges that each of the Purchasers, the Purchaser Agents and the Administrator are entering into the Transaction Documents to which they are parties in reliance upon the Buyer's identity as a legal entity separate from such Originator and the Buyer.

SECTION 5.21    Bankruptcy Opinion. The factual statements contained in the bankruptcy opinion delivered by Andrews Kurth LLP on the Closing Date (or at any date thereafter on which such an opinion is delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Purchaser Agents) are, in each case, true and correct with respect to such Originator as of the date hereof, including that, no transfer is being made hereunder (A) with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any Person, (B) when the related Originator is insolvent or expects to become insolvent as a result of the transfers of its Receivables to Buyer, (C) when the related Originator is engaged or expected to engage in a business for which its remaining property represents an unreasonably small capitalization or (D) when the related Originator intends to incur or believes that it will incur indebtedness that it will not be able to repay at maturity .

AMENDED AND RESTATED PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT Page 16

SECTION 5.22    Enforceability of Contracts. Each Contract related to any Receivable sold or contributed by such Originator hereunder is effective to create, and has created, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Obligor to pay the outstanding balance of such Receivable, enforceable against the Obligor in accordance with its terms, without being subject to any defense, deduction, offset or counterclaim and such Originator has fully performed its obligations under such Contract.

SECTION 5.23    Nature of Pool Receivables. All Pool Receivables: (i) were originated by such Originator in the ordinary course of its business, (ii) were sold to Buyer for fair consideration and reasonably equivalent value and (iii) represent all, or a portion of the purchase price of merchandise, insurance or services within the meaning of Section 3(c)(5)(A) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The purchase of Pool Receivables with the proceeds of commercial paper notes would constitute a "current transaction" for purposes of Section 3(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

SECTION 5.24    Reaffirmation of Representations and Warranties by each Originator. On each day that a new Receivable is created, and when sold or contributed to the Buyer hereunder, such Originator shall be deemed to have certified that all representations and warranties set forth in this Article V are true and correct in all material respects (unless such representation or warranty contains a materiality qualification and, in such case, such representation or warranty shall be true and correct as made) on and as of such day (except for representations and warranties which apply as to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of such earlier date)).

The Originators shall not permit funds other than collections on Pool Receivables and other Pool Assets to be deposited into any Lock-Box Account or the Canadian Collection Account; provided, however, that the Originators and the Servicer may permit Approved Third Party Collections to be received in the applicable Lock-Box Accounts in accordance with the terms of the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

No Originator shall (i) be a party to any merger, consolidation or other restructuring, except a merger, consolidation or other restructuring where the Buyer, the Administrator and each Purchase Agent have each (A) received 30 days' prior notice thereof, (B) consented in writing thereto (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (C) received executed copies of all documents, certificates and opinions (including, without limitation, opinions relating to bankruptcy and UCC matters) as the Buyer or the Administrator shall reasonably request and (D) been satisfied that all other action to perfect and protect the interests of the Buyer and the Administrator, on behalf of the Purchasers, in and to the Receivables to be sold by it hereunder and other Related Rights, as reasonably requested by the Buyer or the Administrator shall have been taken by, and at the expense of, such Originator (including the filing of any UCC financing statements, the receipt of certificates and other requested documents from public officials and all such other actions required pursuant to Section 7.3) or (ii) directly or indirectly sell, transfer, assign, convey or lease (A) whether in one or a series of transactions, all or substantially all of its assets or (B) any Receivables or any interest therein (other than pursuant to this Agreement).

(p)    Anti-Terrorism Laws, Anti-Corruption Laws, and Sanctions. Each Originator will, and each Originator will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, (i) refrain from knowingly doing business in a country or territory that is the subject of U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC or with a Person that is on the list of "Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons", if such business would be prohibited for a U.S. person pursuant to OFAC, (ii) provide, to the extent commercially reasonable, such information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent, or any Purchaser in order to assist the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents, and the Purchasers in maintaining compliance with the PATRIOT Act and (iii) refrain from using any proceeds of the purchases contemplated hereunder or any Letters of Credit, directly or, to the

SECTION 6.2    Separateness Covenants. Each Originator hereby acknowledges that this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are being entered into in reliance upon the Buyer's identity as a legal entity separate from such Originator and its Affiliates. Therefore, from and after the date hereof, each Originator shall take all reasonable steps necessary to make it apparent to third Persons that the Buyer is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of such Originator and any other Person, and is not a division of such Originator, its Affiliates or any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to and consistent with the other covenants set forth herein, such Originator shall take such actions as shall be required in order that:

(a)    such Originator shall not be involved in the day to day management of the Buyer;

(b)    such Originator shall maintain separate corporate records and books of account from the Buyer and otherwise will observe corporate formalities and have a separate area from the Buyer for its business (which may be located at the same address as the Buyer, and, to the extent that it and the Buyer have offices in the same location, there shall be a fair and appropriate allocation of overhead costs between them, and each shall bear its fair share of such expenses);

(c)    the financial statements and books and records of such Originator shall be prepared after the date of creation of the Buyer to reflect and shall reflect the separate existence of the Buyer; provided, that the Buyer's assets and liabilities may be included in a consolidated financial statement issued by an Affiliate of the Buyer; provided, however, that any such consolidated financial statement or the notes thereto shall make clear that the Buyer's assets are not available to satisfy the obligations of such Affiliate;

(d)    except as permitted by the Receivables Purchase Agreement, (i) such Originator shall maintain its assets (including, without limitation, deposit accounts) separately from the assets (including, without limitation, deposit accounts) of the Buyer and (ii) the Buyer's assets, and records relating thereto, have not been, are not, and shall not be, commingled with those of the Buyer;

(e)    such Originator shall not act as an agent for the Buyer (except in the capacity of Servicer or a Sub-Servicer);

(f)    such Originator shall not conduct any of the business of the Buyer in its own name (except in the capacity of Servicer or a Sub-Servicer);

(g)    such Originator shall not pay any liabilities of the Buyer out of its own funds or assets;

(h)    such Originator shall maintain an arm's-length relationship with the Buyer;

AMENDED AND RESTATED PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT Page 22

(i)    such Originator shall not assume or guarantee or become obligated for the debts of the Buyer or hold out its credit as being available to satisfy the obligations of the Buyer;

(j)    such Originator shall not acquire obligations of the Buyer (other than the Subordinated Notes);

(k)    such Originator shall allocate fairly and reasonably overhead or other expenses that are properly shared with the Buyer, including, without limitation, shared office space;

(l)    such Originator shall identify and hold itself out as a separate and distinct entity from the Buyer;

(m)    such Originator shall correct any known misunderstanding respecting its separate identity from the Buyer;

(n)    such Originator shall not enter into, or be a party to, any transaction with the Buyer, except in the ordinary course of its business and on terms which are intrinsically fair and not less favorable to it than would be obtained in a comparable arm's-length transaction with an unrelated third party;

(o)    such Originator shall not pay the salaries of the Buyer's employees, if any; and

(p)    to the extent not already covered in paragraphs (a) through (o) above, such Originator shall comply and/or act in accordance with all of the other separateness covenants set forth in Section 3 of Exhibit IV to the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

ARTICLE VII

ADDITIONAL RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
IN RESPECT OF RECEIVABLES

SECTION 7.1    Rights of the Buyer. Each Originator hereby authorizes the Buyer, the Servicer or their respective designees or assignees under the Receivables Purchase Agreement (including, without limitation, the Administrator) to take any and all steps in such Originator's name necessary or desirable, in their respective determination, to collect all amounts due under any and all Receivables sold, contributed or otherwise conveyed or purported to be conveyed by it hereunder, including, without limitation, endorsing the name of such Originator on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Receivables and the provisions of the related Contracts that concern payment and/or enforcement of rights to payment; provided, however, the Administrator shall not take any of the foregoing actions unless a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing.

SECTION 7.2    Responsibilities of the Originators. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding:

AMENDED AND RESTATED PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT Page 23

(a)    Each Originator shall perform its obligations hereunder, and the exercise by the Buyer or its designee of its rights hereunder shall not relieve such Originator from such obligations.

(b)    None of the Buyer, the Servicer, the Purchasers, the Purchaser Agents or the Administrator shall have any obligation or liability to any Obligor or any other third Person with respect to any Receivables, Contracts related thereto or any other related agreements, nor shall the Buyer, the Servicer, the Purchasers, the Purchaser Agents or the Administrator be obligated to perform any of the obligations of such Originator thereunder.

(c)    Each Originator hereby grants to the Administrator an irrevocable power of attorney, with full power of substitution, coupled with an interest, during the occurrence and continuation of a Termination Event to take in the name of such Originator all steps necessary or advisable to endorse, negotiate or otherwise realize on any writing or other right of any kind held or transmitted by such Originator or transmitted or received by the Buyer (whether or not from such Originator) in connection with any Receivable sold, contributed or otherwise conveyed or purported to be conveyed by it hereunder or Related Right.

SECTION 7.3    Further Action Evidencing Purchases. On or prior to the Closing Date, each Originator shall mark its master data processing records evidencing Pool Receivables and Contracts with a legend, acceptable to the Buyer and the Administrator, evidencing that the Pool Receivables have been transferred in accordance with this Agreement and none of the Originators or Servicer shall change or remove such notation without the consent of the Buyer and the Administrator. Each Originator 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 the Buyer, the Servicer, the Administrator or any Purchaser Agent may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Receivables and Related Rights purchased by or contributed to the Buyer hereunder, or to enable the Buyer to exercise or enforce any of its rights hereunder or under any other Transaction Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the request of the Buyer, the Administrator or any Purchaser Agent, such Originator will execute (if applicable), authorize and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate.

Each Originator hereby authorizes the Buyer or its designee or assignee (including, without limitation, the Administrator) to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto and assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the Receivables and Related Rights sold or otherwise conveyed or purported to be conveyed by it hereunder and now existing or hereafter generated by such Originator. If any Originator fails to perform any of its agreements or obligations under this Agreement, the Buyer or its designee or assignee (including, without limitation, the Administrator) may (but shall not be required to) itself perform, or cause the performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of the Buyer or its designee or assignee (including, without limitation, the Administrator) incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Originator.

SECTION 7.4    Application of Collections. Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to any Originator shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or

AMENDED AND RESTATED PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT Page 24

required by applicable law and unless otherwise instructed by the Servicer (with the prior written consent of the Administrator) or the Administrator, be applied as a Collection of any Receivable or Receivables of such Obligor to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other indebtedness of such Obligor.

ARTICLE VIII

PURCHASE AND SALE TERMINATION EVENTS

SECTION 8.1    Purchase and Sale Termination Events. Each of the following events or occurrences described in this Section 8.1 shall constitute a "Purchase and Sale Termination Event" (each event which with notice or the passage of time or both would become a Purchase and Sale Termination Event being referred to herein as an "Unmatured Purchase and Sale Termination Event"):

(a)    The Termination Date shall have occurred; or

(b)    Any Originator shall fail to make when due any payment or deposit to be made by it under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party and such failure shall remain unremedied for three (3) Business Days; or

(c)    Any representation or warranty made or deemed to be made by any Originator (or any of its officers) under or in connection with this Agreement, any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, or any other information or report delivered pursuant hereto or thereto shall prove to have been incorrect or untrue in any material respect when made or deemed made or delivered; provided, that such circumstance shall not constitute a Purchase and Sale Termination Event if such representation or warranty, or such information or report, is part of an Information Package, is corrected promptly (but not later than two (2) Business Days) after the Originator has knowledge or receives notice thereof; provided, further that no breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Sections 5.9, 5.19, 5.22 or 5.23 shall constitute a Purchase and Sale Termination Event pursuant to this clause (c) if credit has been given for a reduction of the Purchase Price, the outstanding principal balance of the applicable Subordinated Note has been reduced or the applicable Originator has made a cash payment to the Buyer, in any case, as required pursuant to Section 3.4(c) with respect to such breach; or

(d)    Any Originator shall fail to perform or observe any other term, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party on its part to be performed or observed and such failure shall continue unremedied for thirty (30) days after such Originator has knowledge or receives written notice thereof.

SECTION 8.2    Remedies.

(a)    Optional Termination. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Purchase and Sale Termination Event, the Buyer (and not the Servicer), with the prior written consent of the Administrator shall have the option, by notice to the Originators (with a copy to the Administrator and the Purchaser Agents), to declare the Purchase Facility terminated.

AMENDED AND RESTATED PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT Page 25

(b)    Remedies Cumulative. Upon any termination of the Purchase Facility pursuant to Section 8.2(a), the Buyer shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided under the UCC of each applicable jurisdiction and other applicable laws, which rights shall be cumulative.

ARTICLE IX

INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 9.1    Indemnities by the Originators. Without limiting any other rights which the Buyer may have hereunder or under applicable law, each Originator, severally and for itself alone, jointly and severally with each other Originator, hereby agrees to indemnify the Buyer and each of its officers, directors, employees and agents (each of the foregoing Persons being individually called a "Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party"), forthwith on demand, from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, judgments, liabilities, penalties and related costs and expenses, including reasonable Attorney Costs (all of the foregoing being collectively called "Purchase and Sale Indemnified Amounts") awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of, relating to or in connection with:

(a)    the breach of any representation or warranty made by such Originator (or any employee, officer or agent of such Originator) under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document;

(b)    the transfer by such Originator of any interest in any Pool Receivable other than the transfer of any Pool Receivable and Related Security to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and the grant of a security interest to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement;

(c)    the failure of such Originator to comply with the terms of any Transaction Document or any applicable law (including with respect to any Receivable or Related Security), or the nonconformity of any Pool Receivable or Related Security with any such law;

(d)    the lack of an enforceable ownership interest, or a first priority perfected lien, in the Pool Receivables (and all Related Security) originated by such Originator against all Persons (including any bankruptcy trustee or similar Person), in either case, free and clear of any Adverse Claim;

(e)    any suit or claim related to the Pool Receivables originated by such Originator (including any products liability or environmental liability claim arising out of or in connection with the chemicals or other property, products or services that are the subject of any Pool Receivable originated by such Originator); and

(f)    any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy) of the Obligor to the payment of any Receivable in the Receivables Pool (including a defense based on such Receivable's or the related Contract's 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 petrochemicals or other property, products or services to such Receivable or the furnishing or failure to furnish such chemicals or other property, products or services;

AMENDED AND RESTATED PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT Page 26

provided that such indemnity shall not be available to any Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of a Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party, (y) result from a claim brought by such Originator against the Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party for breach of such party's obligations under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document, if such Originator has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (z) constitute recourse with respect to a Pool Receivable by reason of the bankruptcy or insolvency, or the financial or credit condition or financial default, of the related Obligor.

If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Section 9.1 is unavailable to a Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party harmless, then each of the Originators, severally and for itself, and Celanese International, jointly and severally with each Originator, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law.

ARTICLE X

(b)    No failure or delay on the part of the Buyer, the Servicer, any Originator or any third-party beneficiary in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No notice to or demand on the Buyer, the Servicer or any Originator in any case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No waiver or approval by the Buyer or the Servicer under this Agreement shall, except as may otherwise be stated in such waiver or approval, be applicable to subsequent transactions. No waiver or approval under this Agreement shall require any similar or dissimilar waiver or approval thereafter to be granted hereunder.

Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Purchasers, the Purchaser Agents and the Administrator are third-party beneficiaries of the rights of the Buyer arising hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents to which any Originator is a party, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, during the occurrence and continuation of a Termination Event under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Administrator, and not the Buyer, shall have the sole right to exercise all such rights and related remedies.

(f)    The Holder shall not, until the Senior Interests have been paid and performed in full and in cash, (i) cancel, waive, forgive, transfer or assign, or commence legal proceedings to enforce or collect, or subordinate to any obligation of the Buyer, howsoever created, arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, or now or hereafter existing, or due or to become due, other than the Senior Interests, this Subordinated Note or any rights in respect hereof or (ii) convert this Subordinated Note into an equity interest in the Buyer, unless the Holder shall, in either case, have received the prior written consent of the Administrator;

(g)    The Holder shall not, without the advance written consent of the Administrator and Purchaser, commence, or join with any other Person in commencing, any Bankruptcy Proceedings with respect to the Buyer until at least one year and one day shall have passed since the Senior Interests shall have been paid and performed in full and in cash;

EXHIBIT B to AMENDED AND RESTATED PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT Page 4

(h)    If, at any time, any payment (in whole or in part) of any Senior Interest is rescinded or must be restored or returned by a Senior Interest Holder (whether in connection with Bankruptcy Proceedings or otherwise), these Subordination Provisions shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, as though such payment had not been made;

(i)    Each of the Senior Interest Holders may, from time to time, at its sole discretion, without notice to the Holder, and without waiving any of its rights under these Subordination Provisions, take any or all of the following actions: (i) retain or obtain an interest in any property to secure any of the Senior Interests; (ii) retain or obtain the primary or secondary obligations of any other obligor or obligors with respect to any of the Senior Interests; (iii) extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), alter or exchange any of the Senior Interests, or release or compromise any obligation of any nature with respect to any of the Senior Interests; (iv) amend, supplement, amend and restate, or otherwise modify any Transaction Document; and (v) release its security interest in, or surrender, release or permit any substitution or exchange for all or any part of any rights or property securing any of the Senior Interests, or extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), or release, compromise, alter or exchange any obligations of any nature of any obligor with respect to any such rights or property;

(j)    The Holder hereby waives: (i) notice of acceptance of these Subordination Provisions by any of the Senior Interest Holders; (ii) notice of the existence, creation, non-payment or non-performance of all or any of the Senior Interests; and (iii) all diligence in enforcement, collection or protection of, or realization upon, the Senior Interests, or any thereof, or any security therefor;

(k)    Each of the Senior Interest Holders may, from time to time, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Transaction Documents to which such Persons are party, but without notice to the Holder, assign or transfer any or all of the Senior Interests, or any interest therein; and, notwithstanding any such assignment or transfer or any subsequent assignment or transfer thereof, such Senior Interests shall be and remain Senior Interests for the purposes of these Subordination Provisions, and every immediate and successive assignee or transferee of any of the Senior Interests or of any interest of such assignee or transferee in the Senior Interests shall be entitled to the benefits of these Subordination Provisions to the same extent as if such assignee or transferee were the assignor or transferor; and

(l)    These Subordination Provisions constitute a continuing offer from the Holder to all Persons who become the holders of, or who continue to hold, Senior Interests; and these Subordination Provisions are made for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders, and the Administrator may proceed to enforce such provisions on behalf of each of such Persons.

10.General. No failure or delay on the part of the Originator in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of

EXHIBIT B to AMENDED AND RESTATED PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT Page 5

this Subordinated Note shall in any event be effective unless (i) the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by the Buyer and the Holder and (ii) all consents required for such actions under the Transaction Documents shall have been received by the appropriate Persons.

11.Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Subordinated Note to the contrary, the Buyer shall never be required to pay unearned interest on any amount outstanding hereunder and shall never be required to pay interest on the principal amount outstanding hereunder at a rate in excess of the maximum nonusurious interest rate that may be contracted for, charged or received under applicable federal or state law (such maximum rate being herein called the “Highest"Lawful Rate"). If the effective rate of interest which would otherwise be payable under this Subordinated Note would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, or if the holder of this Subordinated Note shall receive any unearned interest or shall receive monies that are deemed to constitute interest which would increase the effective rate of interest payable by the Buyer under this Subordinated Note to a rate in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then (i) the amount of interest which would otherwise be payable by the Buyer under this Subordinated Note shall be reduced to the amount allowed by applicable law, and (ii) any unearned interest paid by the Buyer or any interest paid by the Buyer in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate shall be refunded to the Buyer. Without limitation of the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest contracted for, charged or received by the Originator under this Subordinated Note that are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to the Originator (such Highest Lawful Rate being herein called the "Originator's Maximum Permissible Rate") shall be made, to the extent permitted by usury laws applicable to the Originator (now or hereafter enacted), by amortizing, prorating and spreading in equal parts during the actual period during which any amount has been outstanding hereunder all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received by the Originator in connection herewith. If at any time and from time to time (i) the amount of interest payable to the Originator on any date shall be computed at the Originator's Maximum Permissible Rate pursuant to the provisions of the foregoing sentence and (ii) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to the Originator would be less than the amount of interest payable to Originator computed at the Originator's Maximum Permissible Rate, then the amount of interest payable to the Originator in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at the Originator's Maximum Permissible Rate until the total amount of interest payable to the Originator shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to the Originator if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to the provisions of the foregoing sentence.

12.Governing Law. THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY OTHERWISE APPLICABLE CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES (OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK).

13.Captions. Paragraph captions used in this Subordinated Note are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Subordinated Note.
