follows:
ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION
Section 1.1 Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Section 1 of Annex A to this
Agreement.
Section 1.2 Rules of Construction. For purposes of this Agreement, the
rules of construction set forth in Section 2 of Annex A shall govern. All
Annexes, Exhibits and Schedules hereto, are incorporated herein by reference
and, taken together with this Agreement, shall constitute but a single

ARTICLE II
SALES OF PURCHASER ASSETS
Section 2.1 Sale of Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
the Seller does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to
the Purchaser, without recourse (subject to the obligations herein) all right,
title and interest of the Seller in:
(i) the Loans, including the Loan Files, and all obligations of the
Obligors thereunder, including the right to payment of any
interest accrued and to accrue from and after December 1, 2006
or finance charges and other obligations of such Obligor with
respect thereto due or to become due on or after the Cutoff
Date;
(ii) all Related Security and Collections with respect thereto;
(iii) the Loan Sale Agreement;
(iv) all other property now or hereafter in the possession or custody
of, or in transit to, the Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or the
Seller relating to any of the foregoing;
(v) all Records with respect to any of the foregoing; and
(vi) all proceeds of the foregoing (collectively the "Purchaser
Assets").
Loan Purchase
and Sale Agreement
(b) On or before the Closing Date, the Seller shall (i) indicate in
its computer files that the Purchaser Assets have been sold to the
Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement by so identifying the Purchaser Assets
with an appropriate notation and (ii) deliver to the Purchaser or its
designee the following documents (collectively, the "Loan Files"):
(i) the original fully executed copy of the Loan;
(ii) a record or facsimile of the original credit application fully
executed by the Obligor;
(iii) the original certificate of title or file stamped copy of the
UCC financing statement or such other documents evidencing the
security interest of the Purchaser in the Equipment; and
(iv) any and all other documents relating to a Loan, an Obligor or
any of the Equipment.
Section 2.2 Grant of Security Interest; Subordination. (a) The parties
hereto intend that the transfer, sale and assignment pursuant to Section 2.1
hereof shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a loan. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.2, if a court of competent
jurisdiction determines that the sale provided for herein constitutes the grant
of security for a loan (the "Deemed Loan") and not a purchase and sale or
contribution, then:
(i) The parties hereto intend that this Agreement shall constitute a
security agreement under applicable law and that the Seller
shall be deemed to have granted, and the Seller hereby grants,
to the Purchaser a first priority lien and security interest in
and to all of the Seller's right, title and interest in, to and
under the Purchaser Assets, all other Related Documents to which
the Seller is a party and all proceeds thereof (collectively,
the "Deemed Collateral"). The possession by the Purchaser of
notes and such other goods, money, documents, chattel paper or
certificated securities shall be deemed to be "possession by the
secured party" for purposes of perfecting the security interest
pursuant to the UCC in force in the relevant jurisdiction
(including, without limitation, Section 9-313(c)(1) thereof).
Notifications to Persons holding such property, and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from Persons holding
such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, bailees or
agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of
perfecting such security interest under applicable law (except
that nothing in this sentence shall cause any Person to be
deemed to be an agent of the Purchaser for any purpose other
than for perfection of such security interest unless, and then
only to the extent, expressly appointed and authorized by the
Purchaser in writing).
(ii) The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Deemed Loan is a
non-recourse obligation of the Seller secured solely by the
Deemed Collateral and does not represent an interest in any
assets (other than the Deemed
Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement
Collateral) of the Seller (including by virtue of any deficiency
claim in respect of obligations not paid or otherwise satisfied
from the Deemed Collateral and proceeds thereof). In furtherance
of and not in derogation of the foregoing, the Purchaser
acknowledges and agrees that:
(A) The Purchaser shall not have any right, title or
interest in or to any assets (or interests therein) (other than
the Deemed Collateral) conveyed or purported to be conveyed by
the Seller to any other Person or Persons (whether by way of a
sale, capital contribution or by virtue of the granting of a
lien) ("Other Assets"); and
(B) the Deemed Loan constitutes a claim (as defined in 101
of the Bankruptcy Code) which may be satisfied solely from the
Deemed Collateral and its proceeds (whether through ordinary
liquidation or the exercise of UCC remedies and other remedies
provided herein) and does not constitute a claim against the
Seller to the extent that the Deemed Collateral and such
proceeds are insufficient to repay the Deemed Loan (including
interest thereon, whether accrued before or after the filing of
a bankruptcy petition) in full.
(iii) To the extent that, notwithstanding the agreements and
provisions contained in clause (ii) above, the Purchaser
either (A) asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit from,
Other Assets, or (B) is deemed to have any such interest,
claim or benefit in or from Other Assets, whether by operation
of law, legal process, pursuant to applicable provisions of
insolvency laws or otherwise (including by virtue of Section
1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision
having similar effect under the Bankruptcy Code), then the
Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that any such
interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is and
shall be expressly subordinated to the indefeasible payment in
full of all obligations and liabilities of the Seller other
than the Deemed Loan, including, the payment of post-petition
interest on such other obligations and liabilities. This
subordination agreement shall be deemed a subordination
agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the
Bankruptcy Code. The Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees
that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of this
Section 2.2 and the terms of this Section 2.2 may be enforced
by an action for specific performance.
(b) The Purchaser shall not file or join in a filing of a petition
with respect to any bankruptcy reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or
liquidation proceedings, or similar proceedings under any United States
Federal or State bankruptcy or similar law relating to the Seller, or
cooperate or encourage others to file such a petition.
(c) The Seller hereby authorizes the Purchaser to file financing
statements in respect of the Seller covering the Purchaser Assets and the
proceeds thereof.
Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement
Section 2.3 Sale Price. On the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall, upon
satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, issue and
exchange the Notes (the "Purchaser Purchase Price") as consideration for the
Purchaser Assets sold and transferred by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to
Section 2.1 hereof.
Section 2.4 Removal of Loans. (a) In the event a Loan becomes a Delinquent
Loan or the Obligor thereon is subject to a bankruptcy proceeding, the Seller
shall be granted an assignable option (a "Purchase Option") to purchase such
Delinquent Loan from the Purchaser at a price (the "Option Price") equal to the
Purchase Amount. The Seller may sell, transfer, assign or otherwise convey its
Purchase Option with respect to any such Loan to any party at any time after the
related Loan becomes a Delinquent Loan or the Obligor thereon is subject to a
bankruptcy proceeding. The Seller shall notify the Purchaser of such transfer
and such notice shall include the transferee's name, address, telephone number,
facsimile number and appropriate contact person(s) and shall be acknowledged in
writing by the transferee. If not exercised earlier, the Purchase Option with
respect to any such Loan shall automatically terminate upon (i) in the case of a
Delinquent Loan, the related Obligor's cure of all defaults on the Loan, (ii)
the acquisition by, or on behalf of, the Issuer of the related Equipment through
repossession, (iii) upon a repurchase of a Loan due to the Seller's breach of a
representation with respect to such Loan or (iv) on the Business Day immediately
preceding the last day of the calendar quarter ending at least ten (10) days
after such Loan became a Defaulted Loan. The aggregate Outstanding Principal
Balance of Loans with respect to which the Seller may exercise its Purchase
Option at any time before the Redemption Date shall not exceed 10% of the
aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of the Loans as of the Cutoff Date.
(b) Upon a Loan becoming a Delinquent Loan or the Obligor thereon
becoming subject to a bankruptcy proceeding, the Seller may exercise the
Purchase Option by providing the Purchaser at least five days prior written
notice thereof (the "Purchase Option Notice"), which notice shall specify a
cash exercise price at least equal to the Option Price. The Purchase Option
Notice shall be delivered in the manner specified in Section 2.4(a). The
exercise of any Purchase Option pursuant to this clause (b) shall be
irrevocable.
(c) Upon exercise of a Purchase Option, the Seller shall be required
to pay the Option Price specified in its Purchase Option Notice to the
Purchaser within 10 Business Days of exercising its Purchase Option. The
proceeds of any sale of such Loan, after deduction of the expenses of such
sale incurred in connection therewith, shall be deposited by the Seller no
later than the day before the next Payment Date.

following such sale, such Loan will not be subject to any Adverse Claim as
a result of any action or inaction on the part of the Seller (or any
predecessor in interest).
The representations and warranties described in this Section 4.1 shall survive
the sale of the Purchaser Assets to the Purchaser, any subsequent assignment or

Agreement and the other Related Documents and shall continue until the payment
in full of all Purchaser Assets.
Section 4.2 Affirmative Covenants of the Seller. The Seller covenants and
agrees that, unless otherwise consented to by the Purchaser, from and after the

with respect to such Loan, including records of all payments received,
credits granted and merchandise returned with respect thereto.

and procedures maintained by the Seller with respect to the Purchaser
Assets and take copies and extracts therefrom, and to discuss the Seller's
affairs with its officers, employees and, upon notice to the Seller,
independent accountants. The Seller shall authorize such officers,
employees and independent accountants to discuss with the Purchaser (or
such Person as the Purchaser may designate) the affairs of the Seller as
such affairs relate to the Purchaser Assets. Any audit provided for herein
shall be conducted in accordance with the Seller's rules respecting safety
and security on its premises and without materially disrupting operations.

shall provide such access at all times and without advance notice and shall
provide the Purchaser (or such Person as the Purchaser may designate) with
access to its suppliers and customers.

threatened against the Seller or with respect to or in connection

forgiveness, discharge, compromise, cancellation, waiver or modification,
does not affect the Purchaser's ownership interest in such Loan and does
not negatively impact the ultimate collectibility of such Loan.
(c) UCC Matters. The Seller shall not change its state of formation or
its name, identity or limited liability company structure such that any
financing statement

Purchaser not less than 30 days' prior written notice of such change.
(d) No Proceedings. From the Closing Date and until the date one year

hold harmless each Purchaser Indemnified Person from and against any and all
Indemnified Amounts that may be claimed or asserted against or incurred by any
such Purchaser Indemnified Person to the extent arising from or related to the
failure of a Loan to be originated in compliance with all requirements of law;
provided, that the Seller shall not be liable for any indemnification to a

or willful misconduct, (b) recourse for uncollectible Loans, or (c) any income
tax or franchise tax incurred by any Purchaser Indemnified Person, except to the
extent that the incurrence of any such tax results from a breach of or default

times, to require strict performance by the other party hereto of any provision

necessity of any further action by the Purchaser, the Seller or any other
party and such Purchaser Assets will become the property of the Seller.
(c) Each party's rights and remedies under this Agreement shall be
cumulative and nonexclusive of any other rights and remedies that such
party may have under any other agreement, including the other Related

Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement
Section 7.3 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon
and shall inure to the benefit of the Seller and the Purchaser and their
respective successors and permitted assigns, except as otherwise provided
herein. The Seller may not assign, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise convey its
rights, benefits, obligations or duties hereunder without the prior express
written consent of the Purchaser. Any such purported assignment, transfer,
hypothecation or other conveyance by the Seller without the prior express
written consent of the Purchaser shall be void. The Seller acknowledges that
under the Indenture the Purchaser will assign its rights granted hereunder to
the Indenture Trustee, and upon such assignment, Indenture Trustee shall have,
to the extent of such assignment, all rights of the Purchaser hereunder and
Indenture Trustee may in turn transfer such rights. The terms and provisions of
this Agreement are for the purpose of defining the relative rights and
obligations of the Seller and the Purchaser with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby and no Person shall be a third-party beneficiary of any of
the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
Section 7.4 Termination; Survival of Obligations. (a) This Agreement shall
create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in
accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until the
earlier of (i) the Class C Maturity Date or (ii) the Redemption Date.
(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any other
Related Document, no termination or cancellation (regardless of cause or
procedure) of any commitment made by the Purchaser under this Agreement
shall in any way affect or impair the obligations, duties and liabilities
of the Seller or the rights of the Purchaser relating to any unpaid portion
of any and all recourse and indemnity obligations of the Seller to the
Purchaser, due or not due, liquidated, contingent or unliquidated or any
transaction or event occurring prior to such termination, or any
transaction or event, the performance of which is required after the Class
C Maturity Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any
other Related Document, all undertakings, agreements, covenants, warranties
and representations of or binding upon the Seller, and all rights of the
Purchaser hereunder shall not terminate or expire, but rather shall survive
any such termination or cancellation and shall continue in full force and
effect until the earlier of (i) the Class C Maturity Date or (ii) the
Redemption Date; provided, that the rights and remedies pursuant to Section
7.2(b), the indemnification and payment provisions of Article V, and the
provisions of Sections 4.3(d), 7.3 and 7.12 shall be continuing and shall
survive any termination of this Agreement.
Section 7.5 Complete Agreement; Modification of Agreement. This Agreement

subject matter hereof, supersedes all prior agreements and understandings
relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and may not be modified,
altered or amended except as set forth in Section 7.6.
Section 7.6 Amendments and Waivers. No amendment, modification, termination
or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or any consent to any departure

further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement
Section 7.7 GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
(a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS,
INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, BE GOVERNED BY,
AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF EXCEPT
SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATION LAW) AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
(b) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR
FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY SHALL
HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES
BETWEEN THEM PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF
OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT; PROVIDED, THAT EACH PARTY HERETO
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A
COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY;
PROVIDED FURTHER, THAT NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE
TO PRECLUDE THE PURCHASER FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION
IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO REALIZE ON THE LOANS OR ANY SECURITY FOR THE
OBLIGATIONS OF THE SELLER ARISING HEREUNDER OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR
OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF THE PURCHASER. EACH PARTY HERETO SUBMITS AND
CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN
ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT SUCH
PARTY MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR
FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR
EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT. EACH PARTY HERETO
HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS
ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS,
COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL
ADDRESSED TO SUCH PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
SECTION 7.1 AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE
EARLIER OF SUCH PARTY'S ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT
IN THE UNITED STATES MAIL, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION
SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY
OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.
Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement
(c) BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL
TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED
AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO
APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR
DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE,
TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND
OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER
SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH,
RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN
CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
Section 7.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
separate counterparts, each of which shall collectively and separately
constitute one agreement.
Section 7.9 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this
Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid
under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited
by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to
the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder
of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Section 7.10 Section Titles. The section titles and table of contents
contained in this Agreement are provided for ease of reference only and shall be
without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part
of the agreement between the parties hereto.
Section 7.11 No Setoff. The Seller's obligations under this Agreement shall
not be affected by any right of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or
other right the Seller might have against the Purchaser, all of which rights are
hereby expressly waived by the Seller.
Section 7.12 Confidentiality. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, there is no restriction (express or implied) on any disclosure or
dissemination of the structure or tax aspects of the transaction contemplated by
the Related Documents. Furthermore, each party hereto acknowledges that it has
no proprietary rights to any tax matter or tax idea contemplated hereby or to
any element of the transaction structure contemplated hereby.
Section 7.13 Further Assurances. (a) The Seller shall, at its sole cost and
expense, upon request of the Purchaser, promptly and duly authorize, execute
and/or deliver, as applicable, any and all further instruments and documents and
take such further actions that may be necessary or desirable or that the
Purchaser may request to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes
of this Agreement or to obtain the full benefits of this Agreement and of the
rights and powers herein granted, including authorizing and filing any financing
or continuation statements under the UCC with respect to the ownership interests
or Liens granted hereunder. The Seller hereby authorizes the Purchaser to file
any such financing or continuation
Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement
statements without the signature of the Seller to the extent permitted by
applicable law. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement
or of any notice or financing statement covering the Purchaser Assets or any
part thereof shall be sufficient as a notice or financing statement where
permitted by law. If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the
Purchaser Assets is or shall become evidenced by any instrument, such
instrument, other than checks and notes received in the ordinary course of
business, shall be duly endorsed in a manner satisfactory to the Purchaser
immediately upon the Seller's receipt thereof and promptly delivered to or at
the direction of the Purchaser.
(b) If the Seller fails to perform any agreement or obligation under this
Section 7.13, the Purchaser may (but shall not be required to) itself perform,
or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the reasonable
expenses of the Purchaser incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by
the Seller upon demand of the Purchaser.
Section 7.14 Accounting Changes. If any Accounting Changes occur and such
changes result in a change in the standards or terms used herein, then the
parties hereto agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such
provisions so as to equitably reflect such Accounting Changes with the desired
result that the criteria for evaluating the financial condition of such Persons
and their Subsidiaries shall be the same after such Accounting Changes as if
such Accounting Changes had not been made. If the parties hereto agree upon the
required amendments to this Agreement, then after appropriate amendments have
been executed and the underlying Accounting Change with respect thereto has been
implemented, any reference to GAAP contained herein shall, only to the extent of
such Accounting Change, refer to GAAP consistently applied after giving effect
to the implementation of such Accounting Change. If such parties cannot agree
upon the required amendments within 30 days following the date of implementation
of any Accounting Change, then all financial statements delivered and all
standards and terms used herein shall be prepared, delivered and used without
regard to the underlying Accounting Change.

Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement
EXHIBIT 4.4
PERFECTION REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS
In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants contained in
the Purchase and Sale Agreement, to induce the Purchaser to enter into the
Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Seller hereby represents, warrants, and
covenants to Purchaser as follows, on the Closing Date:
General
1. The Purchase and Sale Agreement creates a valid and continuing security
interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Collateral in favor of the
Purchaser, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is
enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Seller.
2. The Loans constitute "accounts," "general intangibles," "instruments,"
or "tangible chattel paper," within the meaning of the UCC as in effect in the
State of New York.
3. The Seller has taken all steps necessary to perfect its security
interest against the Purchaser in the property securing the Loans that
constitute chattel paper.
Creation
4. The Seller owns and has good and marketable title to the Loans free and
clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person, excepting only liens for
taxes, assessments or similar governmental charges or levies incurred in the
ordinary course of business that are not yet due and payable or as to which any
applicable grace period shall not have expired, or that are being contested in
good faith by proper proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been
established, but only so long as foreclosure with respect to such a lien is not
imminent and the use and value of the property to which the Lien attaches is not
impaired during the pendency of such proceeding.
Perfection
5. The Seller has caused or will have caused, within ten days after the
effective date of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the filing of all appropriate
financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate
jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the sale of the Loans
from Purchaser to the Seller, and the security interest in the Loans granted to
the Purchaser hereunder and all financing statements referred to in this
paragraph contain a statement that: "A purchase of or security interest in any
collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the
Purchaser.".
6. With respect to Loans that constitute an instrument or tangible chattel
paper, either:
(a) Such instruments or tangible chattel paper are in the possession of a
custodian and the Purchaser has received a written acknowledgment from the
custodian that the custodian is
Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement
holding such instruments or tangible chattel paper to effect the Purchaser's
security interest therein; or
(b) A custodian received possession of such instruments or tangible chattel
paper after the Purchaser received a written acknowledgment from such custodian
that such custodian is acting to effect the Purchaser's security interest
therein.
Priority
7. Other than the transfer of the Loans to the Seller under the Loan Sale
Agreement, the security interest granted to the Purchaser pursuant to the
Purchase and Sale Agreement and the security interest granted to the Indenture
Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, neither the Seller nor the Purchaser has
pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed
any of the Loans. Neither the Seller nor the Purchaser has authorized the filing
of, or is aware of any financing statements against the Seller or the Purchaser
that include a description of collateral covering the Loans other than any
financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Purchaser
hereunder or to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture or that has been
terminated.
8. Survival of Perfection Representations. Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Purchase and Sale Agreement or any other Related Document, the
Perfection Representations contained in this Schedule shall be continuing, and
remain in full force and effect and shall continue until the payment in full of
all Purchaser Assets.
10. No Waiver. The parties to the Purchase and Sale Agreement: (i) shall
not, without obtaining a confirmation of the then-current rating of the Notes,
waive any of the Perfection Representations; (ii) shall provide the Ratings
Agencies with prompt written notice of any breach of the Perfection
Representations, and (iii) shall not, without obtaining a confirmation of the
then-current rating of the Notes (as determined after any adjustment or
withdrawal of the ratings following notice of such breach) waive a breach of any
of the Perfection Representations.
11. Seller to Maintain Perfection and Priority. The Seller covenants that,
in order to evidence the interests of the Seller and the Purchaser under this
Agreement, the Seller shall execute and deliver such instruments (other than
effecting a Filing (as defined below), unless such Filing is effected in
accordance with this paragraph) as may be necessary or advisable (including,
without limitation, such actions as are requested by the Purchaser) to maintain
and perfect, as a first priority interest, the Purchaser's security interest in
the Collateral. The Seller shall within the time limits established by law,
prepare and present to the Purchaser for the Purchaser to authorize (based in
reliance on the Opinion of Counsel hereinafter provided for) the Servicer to
file all financing statements, amendments, continuations, initial financing
statements in lieu of a continuation statement, terminations, partial
terminations, releases or partial releases, or any other filings necessary or
advisable to continue, maintain and perfect the Purchaser's security interest in
the Collateral as a first-priority interest (each a "Filing"). The Seller shall
present each such Filing to the Purchaser together with (x) an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such Filing is (i) consistent with grant of the
security interest to the Purchaser pursuant to the Granting Clause of this
Purchase and Sale Agreement, (ii) satisfies all requirements and conditions to
such Filing in this Purchase and Sale Agreement and (iii) satisfies the
requirements
Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement
for a Filing of such type under the Uniform Commercial Code in the applicable
jurisdiction (or if the Uniform Commercial Code does not apply, the applicable
statute governing the perfection of security interests), and (y) a form of
authorization for the Seller's signature authorizing the Servicer to effect such
Filing under the Uniform Commercial Code without the signature of the Seller
where allowed by applicable law.

necessary to make it apparent to third parties that the Purchaser is an entity
with assets and liabilities distinct from those of the Seller, GE Capital or

in the Related Documents with respect to the temporary commingling of

(other than in their capacity as agent for the Purchaser, if applicable) has
independent access;
(g) The Purchaser will strictly observe corporate formalities, and the

between any of the Seller, GE Capital and GECS, on the one hand, and the

formalities;
(h) The transactions among the Purchaser and the Seller, GE Capital or
GECS, including the terms governing any servicer advances and the amount and
payment of the servicing fee, are on terms and conditions that are consistent
with those of arm's-length relationships. None of the Seller, GE Capital or GECS
is or will be, or holds or will hold itself out to be, responsible for the debts
of the Purchaser, except as provided in: the representations made by GE Capital

relating to the Purchaser Assets and their prior ownership and servicing
thereof. The Purchaser will not guaranty the debts of the Seller, GE Capital or

Person or entity, and have been and will be on terms that are at least as
favorable as may be obtained from a third party Person; and
(k) The Purchaser is not named, or has entered into any agreement to be

payee on any insurance policy covering the assets of the Seller, GE Capital or
