A G R E E M E N T S
SECTION 1. CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION
1.01 CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION OF LEASES.
By their execution and delivery of this Assignment and Servicing Agreement,
the Transferor hereby contributes and assigns to the Issuer, and the Issuer
hereby acquires from the Transferor without recourse (except to the extent of
the Transferor's purchase obligations as set forth herein), all of the
Transferor's right, title and interest in and to each of the Leases (including
the right to receive all payments due or to become due on the Leases since the
Cut Off Date, but excluding any payments thereunder due or to become due during
April 2000) and the April Interest Payment.
1.02 CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION OF EQUIPMENT.
The Transferor and the Issuer each acknowledge and confirm that
contemporaneously with the contribution of the Leases as hereinabove provided,
the Transferor, as a holder of beneficial interests in the Issuer, is
contributing and transferring to the Issuer, and in connection with each
transfer and assignment of Additional Leases and Substitute Leases the
Transferor will contribute and transfer to the Issuer, without recourse, all
right, title and interest of the Transferor in and to each item of Equipment
subject to each Lease, Additional Lease and Substitute Lease. After such
contribution and transfer by the Transferor to the Issuer, all right, title and
interest of the Transferor in and to each item of Equipment subject to each
Lease shall be vested in the Issuer.
1.03 CONTRIBUTION OF LEASES; GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST.
It is the intention of the parties hereto that each transfer of Leases,
Additional Leases, Substitute Leases (other than any payments on the Leases due
or to become due during April 2000), Lease Payments and all other amounts due or
becoming due with respect thereto and Equipment (or interests therein) being
made hereunder shall constitute a capital contribution and not a loan. The
Transferor shall not take any action inconsistent with the treatment of such
transfers as capital contributions or with the Issuer's ownership of the Leases,
the Lease Receivables excluding any payments due or to become due during April
2000 and all other amounts due or becoming due with respect thereto and the
interests in the Equipment. The Transferor shall indicate in its records that
ownership of each of the Leases, the Lease Receivables excluding any payments
due or to become due during April 2000 and the interests in the Equipment is
held by the Issuer, and each shall respond to any inquiries from third parties
by indicating that its ownership in the Leases, Additional Leases, Substitute
Leases, the Lease Receivables excluding any payments due or to become due during
April 2000 and all other amounts due or becoming due with respect thereto and
the interests in the Equipment is held by the Issuer and pledged to the Trustee.
In the event, however, that a court of competent jurisdiction were to hold that
any transaction evidenced hereby constitutes a loan and not a capital
contribution, it is the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement
shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law and that the Issuer
and the Trustee shall be deemed to have been granted a first priority security
interest in (a) the Leases and all Lease Payments (other
2
than any payments on the Leases due or to become due during April 2000),
Casualty Payments, Termination Payments, Residual Realizations and other amounts
now due or becoming due with respect thereto since the Cut-Off Date (other than
any prepayments of rent required pursuant to the terms of any Lease at or before
the commencement of the Lease and any payments due before the Cut-Off Date) and
all Additional Leases and Substitute Leases and all Lease Payments excluding any
payments due or to become due during April 2000, Casualty Payments, Termination
Payments, Residual Realizations and other amounts due or becoming due with
respect thereto since the effective date of their respective addition or
substitution (other than any prepayments of rent required by the terms of any
Lease at or before the commencement of the Lease and any payments due before the
effective date of such addition or substitution), (b) all rights of the Issuer
to or under any guarantees of or collateral (including all rights of the Issuer
in any security deposits) for the Lessee's obligations under any Lease, (c) all
interests of the Issuer in the Equipment at any time subject to any Lease
including any security interest of the Transferor in the Equipment and (d) all
proceeds of the conversion, whether voluntary or involuntary, of any of the
foregoing into cash or other property.
1.04 SERVICER TO ACT AS CUSTODIAN.
(a) The Servicer shall hold and acknowledges that it is holding the Leases
and all other Granted Assets that it may from time to time receive hereunder as
custodian for the Trustee.
(b) The Servicer shall perform its duties under this Section 1.04 in
accordance with the standard set forth in Section 3.01 as such standard applies
to servicers acting as custodial agents. The Servicer shall promptly report to
the Trustee any failure by it to hold the complete Leases as herein provided and
shall promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure but only to
the extent (i) any such failure is caused by the acts or omissions of the
Servicer and (ii) such remedial action is otherwise within its capabilities or
control. As custodian, the Servicer shall have and perform the following powers
and duties:
(A) hold the Leases on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the
Noteholders and for the benefit of the Swap Counterparty, maintain accurate
records pertaining to each Lease to enable it to comply with the terms and
conditions of this Assignment and Servicing Agreement, and maintain a
current inventory thereof;
(B) implement policies and procedures in accordance with the
Servicer's normal business practices with respect to the handling and
custody of the Leases so that the integrity and physical possession of the
Leases will be maintained; and
(C) attend to all details in connection with maintaining custody of
the Leases on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders and the
Swap Counterparty.
(c) In acting as custodian of the Leases, the Servicer agrees further that
it does not and will not have or assert any beneficial ownership interest in
such Leases. The Servicer on behalf of the Noteholders and the Swap Counterparty
shall ▇▇▇▇ conspicuously each original contractual document with a Lessee, and
its master data processing records evidencing each
3
Lease with a legend, acceptable to the Trustee, evidencing that all right, title
and interest in the Leases has been granted to the Trustee as provided in the
Indenture.
(d) The Servicer agrees to maintain the Leases at its office in Mt. Laurel,
New Jersey or Mahwah, New Jersey or Moberly, Missouri or at such other offices
of the Servicer as shall from time to time be identified by prior written notice
to the Trustee. Subject to the foregoing, the Servicer may temporarily move
individual Leases or any portion thereof without notice as necessary to conduct
collection and other servicing activities.
SECTION 2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE TRANSFEROR
The Transferor hereby represents and warrants as follows:
2.01 CORPORATE ORGANIZATION AND AUTHORITY.
The Transferor:
(a) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation,
(b) has all requisite power and authority and all necessary licenses and
permits to own and operate its properties and to carry on its business
as now conducted (except where the failure to have such licenses and
permits would not have a material adverse effect on the business or
condition (financial or otherwise) of the Transferor or impair the
enforceability of any Lease) and to enter into and perform its
obligations under this Assignment and Servicing Agreement, and the
transactions contemplated hereby, including performance of the duties
of the Servicer and the Transferor's support obligations hereunder,
and
(c) has duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good
standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where the
character of its properties or the nature of its activities makes such
qualification necessary (except where the failure to be so qualified
or in good standing would not have a material adverse effect on the
Trust Estate or the business or condition (financial or otherwise) of
the Transferor or impair the enforceability of any Lease).
2.02 BUSINESS AND PROPERTY.
The Prospectus and the Private Placement Memoranda, accurately describe in
all material respects the general nature of the business of the Transferor.
2.03 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
(a) The consolidated balance sheet of the Transferor and its consolidated
subsidiaries for the fiscal periods ended December 31, 1999 and December 31,
1998, and the related
4
consolidated statements of income, retained earnings and cash flow for the
respective period and fiscal years ended on such dates, all accompanied by
reports thereon containing opinions without qualification, except as therein
noted, by KPMG Peat Marwick, independent certified public accountants, have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
consistently applied, and present fairly the financial position of the
Transferor and its subsidiaries as of such dates and the results of their
operations for such periods.
(b) Except as disclosed in the Prospectus, the Private Placement Memoranda
and the financial statements referred to in the preceding Section 2.03(a), since
December 31, 1999 there has been no change in the business, condition or
prospects (financial or otherwise) of the Transferor except changes in the
ordinary course of business, none of which individually or in the aggregate has
been materially adverse. Neither the Transferor nor any of its subsidiaries has
any material liabilities or obligations not incurred in the ordinary course of
business other than those disclosed in the financial statements referred to in
Section 2.03(a) or for which adequate reserves are reflected in such financial
statements and certain contingent obligations of the Transferor relating to
other asset securitization transactions involving the Transferor.
2.04 EQUIPMENT AND LEASES.
(a) Prior to the date of each transfer of any Leases and Equipment in
accordance with Sections 1.01 and 1.02, respectively, the Transferor purchased
each item of Equipment from either (i) the manufacturer or other supplier
following receipt of an invoice from such manufacturer or supplier or (ii) a
Lessee following confirmation that such item of Equipment was on such Lessee's
premises. The Transferor has paid in full, to the manufacturer or supplier or
Lessee, as the case may be, the purchase price and any related charges in
connection with the acquisition of the Equipment. The transfer to the Issuer of
the Leases and all of the Transferor's right, title and interest in each item of
Equipment does not violate the terms or provisions of any Lease or any other
agreement to which the Transferor is a party or by which it is bound.
(b) Upon completion of the transfer described in Article I hereof, the
Issuer will (i) be the legal owner of the Leases (including the right to receive
all payments due or to become due thereunder other than payments due or to
become due in April 2000), (ii) have good title to each item of the Equipment
subject to any Lease other than a Nominal Buy-Out Lease (or other finance
lease), (iii) have a valid security interest in each item of Equipment subject
to any Lease other than a Nominal Buy-Out Lease (or other finance lease) and
(iv) have a perfected security interest in each item of Equipment with a
purchase price in excess of $25,000 subject to a Nominal Buy-Out Lease (or other
finance lease). At such time, the Leases (including the right to receive all
payments due or to become due thereunder other than payments due or to become
due in April 2000) and the Transferor's interest in the Equipment will be free
and clear of all Liens other than the rights of each Lessee under the Lease to
which such Lessee is a party and the Lien created by the Indenture; and there
will be no delinquent taxes or other outstanding charges affecting the Equipment
which are or may be Liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the Lien of the
Trustee under the Indenture.
5
(c) At the time of each transfer of a Lease hereunder, each such Lease (i)
is or will be a triple-net lease, (ii) is or will be a legal, valid and binding
full recourse obligation of the Lessee thereunder, enforceable by the Issuer
(and by the Trustee as assignee of the Issuer) against such Lessee in accordance
with the terms thereof, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights and by general equity principles, (iii) is
noncancellable by the Lessee and is in full force and effect, and any and all
requirements of any federal, state or local law, including, without limitation,
usury, truth-in-lending and equal credit opportunity laws applicable to each
Lease have been complied with; and the Transferor has no knowledge (after due
inquiry) of any challenge, dispute or claim by or against the Lessee under or
affecting any Lease or of the bankruptcy or insolvency of any such Lessee and
(iv) is assignable. As of the initial Determination Date, or the effective date
of the transfer of any Additional Lease or Substitute Lease, each Lessee has
paid at least one installment of rent under its respective Lease.
(d) As of the Cut-Off Date, each Lease hereunder is not a Non-Performing
Lease.
(e) At the time that any item of Equipment (including the Transferor's
security interest in any item not owned by it) is contributed hereunder, the
Transferor will have no knowledge that any item of the Equipment has suffered
any loss or damage which has not been repaired.
(f) Each Lease requires the Lessee thereunder to maintain insurance on the
Equipment subject thereto in an amount at least equal to the fair market value
thereof.
(g) In addition to the insurance maintained by the Lessees with respect to
the Equipment, the Transferor (or an Affiliate of the Transferor) maintains (i)
one or more casualty insurance policies which, in the aggregate, are in an
amount not less than the aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes,
(ii) a general liability insurance policy in the aggregate amount of $1,000,000
and (iii) an excess liability insurance policy in umbrella form in the aggregate
amount of $10,000,000. Each of such policies is in full force and effect and
covers all equipment owned by the Transferor and the Issuer. All premiums in
respect of such policies have been paid. Each of the Trustee and the Issuer are
named as loss payees and additional insureds, as their interests may appear, on
such casualty and liability policies maintained by the Transferor.
(h) At the time of each transfer of a Lease hereunder, no Lease had
outstanding rent which was 63 or more days past due as of the Cut-Off Date.
(i) Each Lease was entered into or acquired by the Transferor in accordance
with the Transferor's regular credit approval process described in the
Prospectus, and no selection procedures adverse to the credit quality of the
Leases were employed in selecting the Leases for contribution under this
Assignment and Servicing Agreement.
(j) The obligation of each Lessee to pay rent under each of the Leases
throughout the term thereof is and will be unconditional, without any right of
setoff by such Lessee and without regard to any event affecting the Equipment,
the obsolescence of any
6
Equipment, any claim of such Lessee against the Issuer, the Transferor or the
Servicer or any change in circumstance of such Lessee or any other circumstance
whatsoever except to the extent that in the event of a casualty of any item of
Equipment, the Lessee is obligated to pay, in lieu of the future Lease Payments
with respect to such item, an amount which equals or exceeds the Discounted
Present Value of the Lease as of the Payment Date next succeeding the making of
such payment (plus any unpaid rents).
(k) In the case of each Lease which consists of a master lease and one or
more exhibits or schedules thereto, the Transferor has neither assigned such
master lease in its entirety, nor delivered physical possession of such master
lease, to any Person other than the Issuer or the Trustee (including the trustee
under another indenture in a transaction substantially similar to the
transaction contemplated hereby, which other indenture provides that the lien
thereof on such master lease extends only to such master lease insofar as it
relates to lease schedules which are not part of the Trust Estate).
(l) As of the time of each transfer of Leases and Equipment hereunder,
there are no facts or circumstances which give rise, or would give rise at any
time in the future, to any right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense,
including the defense of usury, to obligations of any Lessee, including the
obligation of such Lessee to pay all amounts due with respect to any Lease to
which such Lessee is a party, and neither the operation of any of the terms of
any Lease or the exercise of any right thereunder will render such Lease
unenforceable in whole or in part or subject to any right of rescission, setoff,
counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and no such right of
rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect
thereto.
(m) As of the time of each transfer of Leases and Equipment hereunder, no
Lease has been amended, altered or modified in any respect, except in writing
and copies of all such writings are attached to the Lease delivered to the
Trustee.
(n) As of the time of each transfer of Leases and Equipment hereunder, no
Lessee will have been released, in whole or in part, from any of its obligations
in respect of any Lease; no Lease will have been satisfied, cancelled or
subordinated, in whole, or in part, or rescinded, and no Equipment covered by
any Lease will have been released from such Lease, in whole or in part, nor has
any instrument been executed that would effect any such satisfaction, release,
cancellation, subordination or rescission.
(o) As of the time of each transfer of Leases and Equipment hereunder, each
Lease was either (i) originated by the Transferor in the ordinary course of its
business or (ii) purchased by the Transferor for value and taken into possession
prior to the Cut-Off Date in the ordinary course of its business.
(p) No Lease was originated in or is subject to the laws of any
jurisdiction whose laws would make any of the transfers thereof under this
Assignment and Servicing Agreement unlawful.
(q) All parties to each Lease had all requisite authority and capacity to
execute such Lease.
7
(r) None of the Leases is a consumer lease and each Lessee has accepted the
Equipment leased to it.
(s) The Booked Residual Value of the Equipment as of the Cut-Off Date
equals $103,536,126.
(t) As of the Cut-Off Date, the final lease payment on each Lease was due
and payable on or prior to March 28, 2000.
(u) Each Lease agreement is "chattel paper" within the meaning of The
Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the states of New York and New Jersey.
(v) As of the Cut Off date, no more than 2% of the Leases are Leases not
originated by the Transferor.
2.05 PAYMENTS.
(a) The aggregate amounts of Lease Payments payable by the Lessees under
the Leases during each lease payment period, including amounts on deposit in the
Reserve Account, are sufficient to cover the Servicing Fee and pay the principal
and interest on the Receivable Notes, as such payments become due and payable.
(b) The aggregate amount of Residual Realizations using the average
historical realization rate, including amounts on deposit in the Liquidity
Reserve Account, is sufficient to cover the Residual Servicing Fee and pay the
principal and interest on the Class R Notes as such payments become due and
payable.
(c) The portfolio detail delivered or to be delivered to the Trustee on or
prior to the Issuance Date (i) accurately sets forth, as of the Cut-Off Date,
the amount of each Lease Payment due under each of the Leases and the month in
which such Lease Payment is to be paid in accordance with the terms of the Lease
under which the same is to be paid, (ii) accurately sets forth, as of the
Cut-Off Date, the information with respect to certain other characteristics of
the Leases and the Equipment described in such portfolio detail and (iii) is
otherwise true and correct in all respects.
2.06 FULL DISCLOSURE.
The Prospectus and the Private Placement Memoranda (including, without
limitation, the statistical and descriptive information with respect to the
initial Leases, Lessees and Equipment), as of their respective dates, do not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit a material fact
necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. There is no fact
peculiar to the Transferor or any Affiliate of the Transferor or, to the
knowledge of the Transferor, any Lease, Lessee or item of Equipment, which the
Transferor has not disclosed or will not disclose in the Prospectus or the
Private Placement Memoranda which materially affects adversely nor, so far as
the Transferor can now reasonably foresee, will materially affect adversely the
ability of the
8
Transferor to perform the transactions contemplated by this Assignment and
Servicing Agreement.
2.07 PENDING LITIGATION.
There are no proceedings or investigations pending, or to the knowledge
(after due inquiry) of the Transferor threatened, against or affecting the
Transferor or any subsidiary in or before any court, governmental authority or
agency or arbitration board or tribunal, including, but not limited to, any such
proceeding or investigation with respect to any environmental or other liability
resulting from the ownership or use of any of the Equipment, which, individually

assessments, fees and other governmental charges upon the Transferor or any
subsidiary, or upon any of their respective properties, income or franchises,

and its subsidiaries.
2.13 ERISA.
(a) The present value of all benefits vested under all "employee pension
benefit plans", as such term is defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA, maintained by
or contributed to by the Transferor and its Related Persons (other than

the value of the assets of the Pension Plans allocable to such vested benefits;

any Pension Plan.
2.14 ABILITY TO PERFORM.
At the date hereof, the Transferor does not believe, nor does it have any
reasonable cause to believe, that it cannot perform each and every covenant
contained in this Assignment and Servicing Agreement or its ability to perform
as Servicer.
2.15 ORDINARY COURSE; NO INSOLVENCY.
The transactions contemplated by the Notes, the Indenture and this
Assignment and Servicing Agreement are being consummated by the Transferor in
furtherance of the Transferor's ordinary business purposes and constitute a
practical and reasonable course of action by the Transferor designed to improve
the financial position of the Transferor, with no contemplation of insolvency
and with no intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its present or future
creditors. The Transferor will not, either as a result of the transaction
contemplated by this Assignment and Servicing Agreement, or immediately before
or after such transaction, be insolvent or have an unreasonably small capital
for the conduct of its business and the payment of anticipated obligations.
2.16 ASSETS AND LIABILITIES.
(a) Both immediately before and after any transfer of Leases (including the
right to receive all payments due or to become due thereunder) and the transfer
of the interests in the Equipment contemplated by this Assignment and Servicing
Agreement, the present fair salable value of the Transferor's assets was or will
be in excess of the amount that will be required to pay the Transferor's
probable liabilities as they then exist and as they become absolute and matured;
and
(b) Both immediately before and after any transfer of Leases (including the
right to receive all payments due or to become due thereunder) and the transfer
of the interests in the Equipment contemplated by this Assignment and Servicing
Agreement, the sum of the Transferor's assets was or will be greater than the
sum of the Transferor's debts, valuing the Transferor's assets at a fair salable
value.
2.17 FAIR CONSIDERATION.
The consideration received by the Transferor, in exchange for the Leases
(including the right to receive all payments due or to become due thereunder)
and the transfer of
11
its interests in the Equipment, is fair consideration having value equivalent to
or in excess of the value of the assets being transferred by the Transferor.
2.18 ABILITY TO PAY DEBTS.
Neither as a result of the transaction contemplated by this Assignment and
Servicing Agreement nor otherwise does the Transferor believe that it will incur
debts beyond its ability to pay or which would be prohibited by its charter
documents or by-laws. The Transferor's assets and cash flow enable it to meet
its present obligations in the ordinary course of business as they become due.
2.19 BULK TRANSFER PROVISIONS.
The transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Leases and its interests in
the Equipment by the Transferor pursuant to this Assignment and Servicing
Agreement is not subject to the bulk transfer or any similar statutory
provisions in effect in any applicable jurisdiction.
2.20 TRANSFER TAXES.
The transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Leases (including all
payments due or to become due thereunder) and its interests in the Equipment by
the Transferor pursuant to this Assignment and Servicing Agreement is not
subject to and will not result in any tax, fee or governmental charge payable by
the Transferor to any federal, state or local government ("Transfer Taxes"). In
the event that the Issuer receives actual notice of any Transfer Taxes arising
out of the transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Leases and/or its
interests in the Equipment, on written demand by the Issuer, or upon the
Transferor otherwise being given notice thereof, the Transferor shall pay, and
otherwise indemnify and hold the Issuer, the Trustee and the holders of the
Notes and the Swap Counterparty harmless, on an after-tax basis, from and
against any and all such Transfer Taxes (it being understood that the holders of
the Notes, the Swap Counterparty and the Trustee shall have no obligation to pay
such Transfer Taxes).
2.21 PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICE.
The principal executive office of each of the Transferor and the Servicer
is located at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇.
2.22 SERVICING PROVISIONS CUSTOMARY.
The servicing arrangements hereunder, including without limitation the
terms and conditions pursuant to which the Transferor will act as Servicer and
the Servicing Fee to be paid to the Transferor, are consistent with the
arrangements and customary practices of the Transferor when providing comparable
services to non-affiliated entities and of other servicers in the equipment
leasing industry.
12
2.23 NONCONSOLIDATION.
The Transferor is and at all times since its incorporation has been
operated in such a manner that it would not be substantively consolidated with
the Issuer, such that the separate existence of the Transferor and the Issuer
would be disregarded in the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of the
Transferor or the Issuer, and in such regard:
(a) the Transferor is not involved in the day-to-day management of the
Issuer;
(b) the Transferor maintains separate corporate records and books of
account from the Issuer and otherwise observes corporate formalities and has a
separate business office from the Issuer;
(c) the financial statements and books and records of the Transferor
prepared after the Issuance Date will reflect the separate existence of the
Issuer;
(d) the Transferor maintains its assets separately from the assets of the
Issuer (including through the maintenance of a separate bank account), the
Transferor's funds and assets, and records relating thereto, have not been and
are not commingled with those of the Issuer and the separate creditors of the
Transferor and the Issuer will be entitled to be satisfied out of the
Transferor's and the Issuer's assets prior to any value in the Transferor or the
Issuer becoming available to the Issuer's equityholders or the Transferor's
creditors;
(e) all business correspondence of the Transferor and other communications
are conducted in the Transferor's own name and on its own stationery; and
(f) the Issuer does not act as an agent of the Transferor in any capacity
and the Transferor does not act as agent for the Issuer, but instead presents
itself to the public as a corporation separate from the Issuer.
2.24 CONTRIBUTION TREATMENT.
The Transferor will treat the contribution and transfer to the Issuer of
the Leases and the Lease Receivables as a capital contribution for financial
reporting and accounting purposes.
SECTION 3. ADMINISTRATION OF LEASES
3.01 SERVICER TO ACT.
(a) Notwithstanding the transfers and assignments of the Leases (including
the right to receive all payments due or to become due thereunder other than
payments due or to become due in April 2000) and the related interests in the
Equipment contemplated hereby, the Servicer, for the benefit of the Issuer, will
service and administer each Lease in accordance with the terms thereof and of
this Assignment and Servicing Agreement. The Servicer shall take, or cause to be
taken, all such actions as may be necessary or advisable to service, administer
and collect each Lease from time to time, all in accordance with (i) customary
and prudent servicing procedures for leases of a similar type, (ii) all
applicable laws, rules and regulations, and (iii)
13
without limitation as to its obligations under the preceding clauses (i) and
(ii), no less a standard of care than that which it applies to Leases it
services for its own account. The Servicer shall provide the Lessees with
appropriate invoices and such other notices as may be required to ensure that
all Lease Payments, Casualty Payments and Termination Payments on or in respect
of each Lease are remitted by the Lessees to the address specified by the
Servicer. The Servicer shall deposit such payments to the Collection Account or
the Residual Account, as applicable, within two Business Days of the receipt
thereof. Any other amount received by the Servicer from time to time from the
Issuer or any Lessee which is or is intended to be subject to the Lien of the
Indenture shall be held in trust by the Servicer, as agent for the Trustee and
promptly turned over to the Trustee or deposited into the Collection Account or
Residual Account, as applicable, for application in accordance with the
provisions of the Indenture.
(b) The Servicer shall do, and shall have full power and authority to do,
subject only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Assignment
and Servicing Agreement, any and all things in connection with the servicing and
administration of the Leases and the interests in the Equipment which are
consistent with the manner in which it services leases and equipment
constituting part of its own portfolio and consistent with the customary
practices of servicers in the equipment leasing industry, but in performing its
duties hereunder, the Servicer will act on behalf and for the benefit of the
Issuer, the Trustee and the holders of the Notes and the Swap Counterparty,
subject at all times to the provisions of the Indenture, without regard to any
relationship which the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer may otherwise
have with a Lessee. The Servicer shall at all times act in accordance with the
provisions of each Lease, and shall observe and comply with all requirements of
law applicable to it. Except as permitted by the terms of any Lease following a
default thereunder, the Servicer shall not take any action which would result in
the interference with the Lessee's right to quiet enjoyment of the Equipment
subject to the Lease during the term thereof. The Servicer shall exercise with
respect to each item of Equipment all rights and remedies it, the Issuer or the
Trustee shall have against any vendor of the Equipment, subject to the
provisions of any Lease, and shall promptly pay all amounts realized from such
actions to the Trustee for deposit in the Collection Account or Residual
Account, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer agrees
to (i) invoice each Lessee monthly (except quarterly, semi-annually or annually
in the case of Leases which provide for quarterly, semi-annual or annual Lease
Payments, respectively) for all Lease Payments required to be paid by such
Lessee in such manner and to the same extent as the Servicer does with respect
to leases held for its own account, (ii) maintain with respect to each Lease and
each item of Equipment, and with respect to each payment by each Lessee and
compliance by each Lessee with the provisions of each Lease, complete and
accurate records in the same form and to the same extent as the Servicer does
with respect to leases and equipment held for its own account (which records
shall be at least as complete and accurate as those maintained by the Servicer
as of the date of this Assignment and Servicing Agreement), and (iii) from time
to time execute, deliver and file (or cause the same to be done), and the
Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered to execute, deliver, and file on
behalf of the Issuer and the Trustee, any and all tax returns with respect to
sales, use, personal property and other taxes (other than corporate income tax
returns) and any and all reports or licensing applications required to be filed
in any jurisdiction with respect to any Lease or any item of Equipment and any
and all required Financing Statements and assignments of Financing Statements
and such
14
additional Financing Statements and continuation statements with respect thereto
as may from time to time be necessary because of Lease substitutions, equipment
replacements in accordance with the provisions of any Lease or otherwise so that
the security interest contemplated by the Indenture in favor of the Trustee in
each of the Leases, at all times will be perfected by such filings with the
appropriate Uniform Commercial Code filing offices. The Transferor and the
Servicer agree to file Financing Statements on Form UCC-1 to perfect the
security interest of the Trustee in the Leases and the Lease Payments, and to
the extent provided herein, the Equipment.
(d) The Servicer will maintain, or cause to be maintained, with respect to
the Leases and the Equipment casualty and liability insurance in amounts at
least as great as those described in Section 2.04(f). Each such casualty and
liability policy (i) if maintained by the Servicer, shall name the Issuer and
Trustee as loss payees or additional insureds and (ii) if maintained by the
Lessee, shall name the Servicer or the Trustee as loss payee and additional
insured; PROVIDED that the Servicer shall cause all such policies to name the
Trustee and the Issuer as loss payees and additional insureds if (A) the
Transferor is no longer the Servicer, (B) an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing or (C) a Servicer Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing.
(e) On or prior to the Issuance Date, the Servicer will file the Financing
Statements and assignments of Financing Statements in accordance with the Filing
Requirements and thereafter will file such additional Financing Statements
and
continuation statements and assignments with respect to the Leases as may be
necessary because of equipment replacements in accordance with the provisions of
any Lease, purchases of Additional Leases in accordance with Section 9 and Lease
substitutions pursuant to Section 9 hereof or otherwise so that (i) the
ownership interest contemplated by this Agreement in favor of the Issuer and the
security interest contemplated by the Indenture in favor of the Trustee in each
of the Leases and the Equipment will be perfected by such filings with the
appropriate Uniform Commercial Code filing offices (to the extent this may be
achieved by central filing), and (ii) the security interest contemplated by the
Assignment and Servicing Agreement in favor of the Transferor and the Issuer in
each of the Leases and Equipment will be perfected by such filings with the
appropriate Uniform Commercial Code filing offices (to the extent this may be
achieved by central filing).
(f) The Servicer shall pay the Excess Copy Charges, Maintenance Charges and
Fee Per Scan Charges, if any, owing the related vendor in a timely fashion.
3.02 LEASE AMENDMENTS AND MODIFICATIONS.
In performing its obligations hereunder, the Servicer may, acting in the
name of the Issuer and without the necessity of obtaining the prior consent of
the Issuer or the Trustee, enter into and grant modifications, waivers and
amendments to the terms of any Lease except for modifications, waivers or
amendments that (a) are inconsistent with the servicing standards set forth in
Section 3.01 above, (b) would reduce the amount or extend the time for payment
of any Lease Payment, Casualty Payment, Termination Payment or Residual
Realizations to be made under a Lease (other than to permit termination of a
Lease which does not otherwise provide for termination by requiring the payment,
in lieu of all future Lease Payments with respect to the Lease or Equipment
subject thereto, an amount which equals or exceeds the Lease Purchase Amount for
such Lease as of such date) or the Lessee's absolute and unconditional
obligation to
15
make payment of the same, (c) would reduce or adversely affect the Lessee's
obligation to maintain, service, insure and care for the Equipment or would
permit the alteration of any item of Equipment in any way which could adversely
affect its present or future value or (d) otherwise could adversely affect the
interests of any of the Issuer, the Trustee or the holders of the Notes.
In addition, following the transfer of any Lease to the Issuer in
accordance herewith, the Servicer may make adjustments to such Lease which
modify one or more terms of such Lease, such as payment amount or payment date.
Such administrative adjustments may result in a re-booking of such Lease and the
assignment of a new Lease number, but will not be considered to be a
substitution or prepayment of such Lease. Except to the extent the Transferor
substitutes a Substitute Lease therefor in accordance with Section 9 hereof, the
Servicer may permit such adjustments so long as the following conditions
precedent have been satisfied:
(i) after giving effect to such adjustments and any additions and
substitutions pursuant to Section 9, the aggregate Booked Residual
Value of such Leases will not be less than 100% of the aggregate
Booked Residual Value of the Leases adjusted, replaced or substituted
since the Issuance Date.
(ii) after giving effect to such adjustment and any additions and
substitutions pursuant to Section 9, the final payment on such Lease
must be on or prior to April 30, 2007.
(iii) after giving effect to such adjustments and any additions and
substitutions pursuant to Section 9 the aggregate amount of Lease
Payments through the term of the Leases (including the Substitute
Leases and the Additional Leases) will not be materially less than the
aggregate scheduled Lease Payments of the Leases prior to such
adjustment, substitution or addition.
(iv) after giving effect to such adjustments, additions and substitutions
pursuant to Section 9, the Discounted Present Value of the Performing
Leases must not be less than the Discounted Present Value of the
Performing Leases prior to such adjustment, addition and substitution.
(v) after giving effect to such adjustments, additions, and substitutions
pursuant to Section 9, the weighted average remaining term of the
Performing Leases must not be greater than the weighted average
remaining term of the Performing Leases prior to such adjustment,
addition, and substitution.
3.03 NON-PERFORMING LEASES.
(a) Upon receipt of notice from the Issuer, the Trustee or any other
Person, or if the Servicer otherwise learns that any Lease is a Non-Performing
Lease, the Servicer will take such action as is appropriate, consistent with the
Servicer's administration of leases in its own portfolio and consistent with the
customary practices of servicers in the equipment leasing industry, including
such action as may be necessary to cause, or attempt to cause, the Lessee
thereunder to cure such non-performance (if the same may be cured) or to
terminate or attempt to terminate such Lease and to recover, or attempt to
recover, all damages resulting from such default. The Servicer shall demand, on
behalf of the Issuer, that the Transferor immediately
16
repay any Inter-Company Loan representing the advance pursuant to Section 13.01
hereof of any security deposit with respect to any Lease which becomes a
Non-Performing Lease, and the Servicer shall apply such security deposit in
accordance with Section 3.03(d) hereof.
(b) The Servicer will use its best efforts to sell or lease any Equipment
upon the expiration or early termination of a Lease or that is subject to a
Non-Performing Lease in a timely manner and upon the most favorable terms and
conditions available at the time. In the event of an early lease termination,
any Substitute Lease must have a Discounted Present Value equal to or greater
than that of the Terminated Lease, monthly payments at least equal to those of
the Terminated Lease through the remaining term of such Terminated Lease, a
remaining term less than or equal to that of the Terminated Lease and a Booked
Residual Value at least equal to that of such Terminated Lease.
(c) In the event that the Servicer is required to sell or lease any item of
Equipment pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.03 at a time when the
Servicer has other similar items of equipment available to it, the Servicer will
not favor any such other item in its remarketing efforts.
(d) All amounts realized by the Servicer in the performance of its duties
hereunder with respect to any Lease or Equipment remaining subject to the Lien
of the Indenture (net of the Servicer's actual out-of-pocket expenses reasonably
incurred in such realization) shall be held in trust by the Servicer, as agent
for the Trustee and deposited into the Collection Account for application in
accordance with the provisions of the Indenture; PROVIDED that, to the extent
that (i) the Servicer has made any advances pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof with
respect to any Lease which thereafter became a Non-Performing Lease, and (ii)
the Servicer has not otherwise been fully reimbursed for such advances or
payments, the Servicer shall reimburse itself for such advances or payments from
any amounts recovered with respect to such Non-Performing Lease before
depositing any such amounts pursuant to this Section 3.03(d).
3.04 COSTS OF SERVICING; SERVICING FEE; ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.
(a) All costs of servicing each Lease in the manner required by this
Section 3 shall be borne by the Servicer, but the Servicer shall be entitled to
retain, out of any amounts actually recovered by the Servicer in the performance
of its obligations under Section 3.03 hereof with respect to any Lease or the
interests in the Equipment subject thereto, the Servicer's actual out-of-pocket
expenses reasonably incurred in the course of such performance with respect to
such Lease or the interests in the Equipment. (For all purposes of this Section
3 the Servicer's "out-of-pocket expenses" means only those expenses incurred to
third parties (e.g., reasonable fees of outside counsel in a collection suit)
and not salaries, operating costs, overtime wages and other such "overhead"
costs or expenses of the Servicer.) In addition, the Servicer shall be entitled
to receive from the Issuer on each Payment Date following the Issuance Date a
servicing fee with respect to the Receivables Notes (the "Servicing Fee") and a
servicing fee with respect to the Class R Notes (the "Residual Servicing Fee")
in the amounts described in paragraph (b) below.
(b) The amount of the Servicing Fee which the Servicer shall be entitled to
receive on each Payment Date following the original issuance of the Receivables
Notes shall be
17
determined by multiplying (i) the Discounted Present Value of Performing Leases
as of the prior Payment Date times (ii) one-twelfth of 0.75%. The amount of the
Residual Servicing Fee which the Servicer shall be entitled to receive on each
Payment Date following the issuance of the Class R Notes shall be determined by
multiplying (i) the Booked Residual Values as of the prior Payment Date for all
Performing Leases times (ii) one-twelfth of 0.75%.
3.05 OTHER TRANSACTIONS.
Nothing in this Assignment and Servicing Agreement shall preclude the
Transferor or the Servicer from entering into other leases or other financial
transactions with any Lessee or selling or discounting any such lease with any
Person.
SECTION 4. SERVICER ADVANCES AND TRANSFEROR'S SUPPORT
4.01 LATE LEASE PAYMENTS.
(a) On each Determination Date, the Servicer may, but will not be required
to, advance and remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Collection Account, in
such manner as will ensure that the Trustee will have immediately available
funds on account thereof by 11:00 A.M. New York City time on the second Business
Day prior to the next succeeding Payment Date, an amount (a "Servicer Advance")
equal to any Lease Payment due during the prior Lease Payment Period but unpaid
prior to such Determination Date with respect to any Lease. In consideration of
each Servicer Advance the Servicer will be entitled to retain any late payment
fees recovered from the Lessee with respect to any Lease Payment covered by a
Servicer Advance. In addition, the Servicer will be reimbursed for Servicer
Advances from funds in the Collection Account in accordance with the Indenture
on the second following Payment Date.
(b) On each Determination Date, the Servicer will be required to advance
and remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Residual Account, in such manner as
will ensure that the Trustee will have immediately available funds on account
thereof by 11:00 A.M. New York City time on the second Business Day prior to the
next succeeding Payment Date, an amount (a "Residual Servicer Advance") equal to
the difference between distributions due to be made pursuant to Section
3.02(b)(i)-(iv) of the Indenture and the amounts then on deposit in the Residual
Account and the Liquidity Reserve Account. The Servicer will be reimbursed for
Residual Servicer Advances from funds in the Residual Account in accordance with
the Indenture on the second following Payment Date.
4.02 EARLY TERMINATION LEASES.
Following the Determination Date as of which any Lease first becomes an
Early Termination Lease the Transferor may, but shall have no obligation to,
either (a) substitute one or more Eligible Leases and the Equipment subject
thereto for such Lease and the Equipment subject thereto pursuant to Section 9
hereof (if the Transferor is then entitled to substitute Leases and Equipment in
accordance with the provisions of Section 9.01 hereof) on or before the second
Business Day prior to the next
18
succeeding Payment Date, (b) purchase from the Issuer such Lease and the related
Equipment by remitting to the Trustee an amount equal to the Lease Purchase
Amount in such manner as will ensure that the Trustee will have immediately
available funds therefor by 11:00 A.M. New York City time on the second Business
Day prior to the next succeeding Payment Date or (c) transfer to the Issuer one
or more Additional Leases in consideration of the proceeds thereof in accordance
with Section 9 hereof. Unless the Transferor takes one of the actions set forth
in the prior sentence, the Servicer will not permit a voluntary termination of a
Lease prior to its stated maturity unless it receives a payment in connection
with such termination equal to at least the Lease Purchase Amount. Any Early
Termination Lease and the Equipment subject thereto which is acquired, or for
which Additional Leases have been acquired or Substitute Leases transferred,
pursuant to this Section 4.02 shall nevertheless remain subject to the Lien of
the Indenture until such time as an Additional Lease or Additional Leases have
been acquired or Substitute Lease or Substitute Leases have been transferred in
accordance with the provisions of Section 9 hereof or the Lease Purchase Amount
has been paid. A Lease will be considered to be an "Eligible Lease" if on the
date such Lease is substituted for or added in replacement of an Early
Termination Lease, such Lease satisfies the representations and warranties set
forth in Section 2.04(a) through (u) and the requirements of Section 9 hereof.
4.03 INDEMNIFICATION.
The Transferor in its capacity as Servicer, agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Issuer, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Swap Counterparty and each
holder of the Notes (each an "Indemnified Party") against any and all
liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, costs and expenses (including costs of
defense and legal fees and expenses) which may be incurred or suffered by such
Indemnified Party (except to the extent arising out of the gross negligence or
willful misconduct on the part of the Indemnified Party) as a result of claims,
actions, suits or judgments asserted or imposed against it and arising out of
the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Indenture, including, without
limitation, any claims resulting from any use, operation, maintenance, repair,
storage or transportation of any item of Equipment, whether or not in the
Servicer's possession or under its control pursuant to this Assignment and
Servicing Agreement, and any tort claims and any fines or penalties arising from
any violation of the laws or regulations of the United States or any state or
local government or governmental authority; provided that the foregoing
indemnity shall in no way be deemed to impose on the Transferor any obligation,
other than to the extent specifically set forth in this Section 4, to make any
payment with respect to principal or interest on the Notes or to reimburse the
Issuer for any payments on account of the Notes. This Section 4.03 shall bind
any successor Servicer hereunder.
4.04 PURCHASES; OTHER PAYMENTS.
(a) In the event that (i) any of the representations or warranties made by
the Transferor in Sections 2.04 and 2.05 hereof with respect to any of the
Leases or the Equipment subject thereto proves at any time to have been
inaccurate in any material respect as of the Issuance Date or related transfer
date, as the case may be or (ii) any Lease shall be terminated in whole or in
part by a Lessee, or any amounts due with respect to any Lease shall be reduced
or impaired, as a result of any action or inaction by the Transferor (other than
any such action or inaction of the Transferor, when acting as Servicer, in
connection with the enforcement of any Lease in a manner consistent with the
provisions of this Assignment and Servicing Agreement) or any claim by any
Lessee against the Transferor and, in any such case, the event or condition
causing such inaccuracy, termination, reduction, impairment or claim shall not
have been cured or corrected within 30 days after the earlier of the date on
which the Transferor is given notice
19
thereof by the Issuer or the Trustee or the date on which the Transferor
otherwise first has notice thereof, the Transferor will purchase such Lease and
the Equipment subject thereto by paying to the Trustee, not later than the third
Business Day after the Determination Date next following the expiration of such

understood that for purposes of this Section 4.04, any inaccuracy in any
representation or warranty with respect to (i) the priority of the Lien of the

receive all payments due or to become due thereunder other than payments due or

period or any search reveals the existence of any conflicting Liens (which are
not removed within 30 days of receipt of such search), the Transferor shall be
required to purchase not later than the third Business Day after the
Determination Date following the expiration of the time period during which such
search was to be obtained or such Lien released, as the case may be, any Lease
of Equipment in any such state for which such searches are not provided or with
respect to which conflicting Liens are found to exist at the Lease Purchase
Amount for such Lease.
(c) The Transferor's obligations under this Section 4.04 are the full

30
obligations of the Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the

Servicer hereby agrees to transfer to any successor to the Servicer its
electronic records and all other records, correspondence and documents relating
to the Leases and Equipment in the manner and at such times as the successor to
the Servicer shall reasonably request. The Servicer hereby designates the
Trustee and any successor to the Servicer its agent and attorney-in-fact to

Statements naming an individual Lessee as debtor and the Servicer as secured
party) and any other filings or instruments which may be necessary or advisable

deliver to the Servicer and the Trustee and, to the extent not included in the
Monthly Servicer Report, the Trustee shall promptly deliver to each Rating
Agency (i) a supplement to Exhibit A hereto setting forth the information shown
thereon for each such Substitute Lease and Additional Lease, (ii) an Officer's
Certificate (A) certifying that each such Substitute Lease and Additional Lease
is an "Eligible Lease", (B) specifying each Predecessor Lease for which a
substitution has been made and each Early Termination Lease which is being
replaced by an Additional Lease and the amount of each periodic Lease Payment
and
33
the Booked Residual Value under each such Predecessor Lease and the amount of
each periodic Lease Payment and the Booked Residual Value under each Additional
Lease and Substitute Lease being transferred thereby and (C) that all conditions
precedent to such addition or substitution have been satisfied and (iii) such
additional information concerning such Additional Leases, Substitute Leases,
Early Termination Leases or Predecessor Leases as may be needed for the Servicer
to prepare its monthly reports pursuant to Section 5.01 hereof and to otherwise
carry out its duties as servicer hereunder.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 9.03, the delivery of any
Officer's Certificate and supplement to Exhibit A pursuant to Section 9.02(a)
shall be conclusive evidence, without further act or deed, that during the
immediately preceding Lease Payment Period (i) the Transferor contributed as a
contribution to capital to the Issuer pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof all of the
Transferor's right, title and interest in and to the Substitute Leases and
Additional Leases identified in such supplement and the related rights described
in Section 9.01 hereof, (ii) the Transferor transferred to the Issuer, as a
contribution to capital, all of the Transferor's right, title and interest in
and to the Equipment subject to such Substitute Leases (to the extent of the
Transferor's interest in such Equipment, including the Transferor's security
interest in any Equipment which is not owned by the Transferor), and (iii) the
Issuer assigned and transferred to the Transferor, without representation or
warranty, all of the Issuer's right, title and interest in and to the
Predecessor Leases and Early Termination Leases identified in such Officer's
Certificate and the Equipment subject thereto (to the extent of the Issuer's
interest in such Equipment, including the Issuer's security interest in any

Trustee to deliver to the Transferor the original executed counterpart of each
Predecessor Lease for which substitution has been made pursuant to Section 11.01
hereof.
9.03 OBJECTION AND PURCHASE.
If any holder of the Notes objects to any substitution of Leases within ten
days of receipt of the Servicer's monthly report providing notice thereof
pursuant to Section 5.01 above, on the grounds either that any Substitute Lease
or Additional Lease is not an Eligible Lease within the meaning of the
definition thereof or that such substitution or addition is otherwise not
permitted under the provisions of Section 9.01 hereof, the Transferor shall be
entitled to present such additional information as it deems appropriate in an
effort to demonstrate that such Lease is an Eligible Lease and that such
substitution is permitted under the provisions of Section 9.01 hereof.
Following such presentation, the substitution shall remain effective if each
person originally objecting to the substitution withdraws his objection. If the
conditions specified in the preceding sentence are not satisfied, or if at any
time it is established that any lease was not, at the time of substitution, an
Eligible Lease, then the Transferor shall be required to purchase such Lease in
accordance with the provisions of Section 4.04 hereof.
9.04 TRANSFEROR'S AND SERVICER'S SUBSEQUENT OBLIGATIONS.
Upon any substitution of Leases in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 9, the Transferor's and the Servicer's obligations hereunder with
respect to the Predecessor Lease shall cease but the Transferor and the Servicer
shall each thereafter have the
34
same obligations with respect to the Substitute Lease substituted as it has with
respect to all other Leases subject to the terms hereof.

Transferor now or hereafter acquired in and to each Lease (including the right
to receive all payments due or to become due thereunder other than payments due
