will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation

Transfer Agreement Supplement, without the execution or filing of any document
or any further act on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement or any
Receivables Transfer Agreement Supplement, anything in this Agreement or any

organizational documents with similar restrictions as those of the Phoenix
Finance Subsidiary.
Section 4.02. Costs. In connection with the transactions contemplated
under this Agreement and any Receivables Transfer Agreement Supplement and the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Phoenix Finance Subsidiary shall promptly

Section 4.03. Indemnification. (a) (i) PLI agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless PSSFC, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the
Registration Statement, Prudential Securities Incorporated and each of its
directors and each person or entity who controls PSSFC or
13
17
Prudential Securities Incorporated or any such person, within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any and all losses, claims, damages
or liabilities, joint and several, to which PSSFC, Prudential Securities
Incorporated or any such person or entity may become subject, under the
Securities Act or otherwise, and will reimburse PSSFC, Prudential Securities
Incorporated and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses
incurred by PSSFC, Prudential Securities Incorporated or such controlling
person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in
the Prospectus Supplement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus
Supplement approved in writing by the Phoenix Finance Subsidiary or PLI or the
omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in the Prospectus
Supplement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus Supplement approved
in writing by the Phoenix Finance Subsidiary or PLI, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, but only to the
extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission relates to the information contained in the Prospectus
Supplement referred to in Section 3.01(d). This indemnity agreement will be in
addition to any liability which PLI may otherwise have.
(ii) PLI agrees to indemnify and to hold each of PSSFC, the
Trustee and each Certificateholder harmless against any and all claims, losses,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any
other costs, fees and expenses that PSSFC, the Trustee and any
Certificateholder may sustain in any way related to (i) the failure of the
Phoenix Finance Subsidiary or PLI to perform its duties in compliance with the
terms of this Agreement or (ii) the breach by either the Phoenix Finance
Subsidiary or PLI of any of the representations or warranties made by it in
this Agreement. PLI shall immediately notify PSSFC, the Phoenix Finance
Subsidiary, the Trustee and each Certificateholder if a claim is made by a
third party with respect to this Agreement, and PLI shall assume the defense of
any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including
reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment
or decree which may be entered against PSSFC, the Servicer, the Trustee and/or
Certificateholder in respect of such claim.
(b) PSSFC agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Phoenix Finance Subsidiary, each of its directors and each person or entity who
controls the Phoenix Finance Subsidiary or any such person, within the meaning
of Section 15 of the
14
18
Securities Act, against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities,
joint and several, to which the Phoenix Finance Subsidiary or any such person
or entity may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, and will
reimburse the Phoenix Finance Subsidiary and any such director or controlling
person for any legal or other expenses incurred by the Phoenix Finance
Subsidiary or any such director or controlling person in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the
Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, any amendment or supplement to the
Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement or the omission or the alleged omission
to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission is other than a
statement or omission relating to the information set forth in subsection
(a)(i) of this Section 4.03. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to
any liability which PSSFC may otherwise have.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under
this Section 4.03 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified
party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
indemnifying party under this Section 4.03, notify the indemnifying party in
writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the
indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability
which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party hereunder except
to the extent such indemnifying party has been prejudiced thereby. In case any
such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the
indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be
entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may elect by written
notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the
aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof
with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice
from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume
the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such
indemnified party under this Section 4.03 for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if the
defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded
that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or
additional
15
19
to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties
shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses
and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such
indemnified party or parties. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for
the expenses of more than one separate counsel.
(d) PSSFC agrees, assuming all PLI-Provided Information
(defined below) is accurate and complete in all material respects, to indemnify
and hold harmless PLI, its respective officers and directors and each person
who controls PLI within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act
against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several,
to which they may become subject under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act
or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement
of a material fact contained in the Derived Information provided by PSSFC, or
arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party for
any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by him, her or it in connection
with investigating or defending or preparing to defend any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred. The obligations of
PSSFC under this Section 4.03(d) shall be in addition to any liability which
PSSFC may otherwise have.
The procedures set forth in Section 4.03(c) shall be equally
applicable to this Section 4.03(d).
(e) For purposes of this Section 4.03, the term "Derived
Information" means such portion, if any, of the information used by PSSFC for
filing with the Commission on Form 8-K as: (i) is not contained in the
Prospectus without taking into account information incorporated therein by
reference; and (ii) does not constitute PLI-Provided Information. "PLI-Provided
Information" means any computer tape furnished to PSSFC by PLI concerning the
assets comprising the Trust.
(f) In order to provide for just and equitable
contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in
the preceding parts of this Section 4.03 is for any reason held to be
unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under
subsection (a) or subsection (b) of this Section 4.03 in respect of any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to
therein, the indemnifying party shall contribute
16
20
to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof);
provided, however, that no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled
to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which the
respective parties are entitled, there shall be considered the relative
benefits received by the Phoenix Finance Subsidiary and PLI, on the one hand,
and PSSFC on the other, PLI's, the Phoenix Finance Subsidiary's and PSSFC's
relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect
to which the claim was asserted, the opportunity to correct and prevent any
statement or omission, and any other equitable considerations appropriate in
the circumstances. PLI, the Phoenix Finance Subsidiary and PSSFC agree that it
would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by
pro rata or per capita allocation. For purposes of this Section 4.03, each
director of PSSFC, each officer of PSSFC who signed the Registration Statement,
and each person, if any who controls PSSFC within the meaning of Section 15 of
the Securities Act, shall have the same rights to contribution as PSSFC, and
each director of the Phoenix Finance Subsidiary, and each person, if any who
controls the Phoenix Finance Subsidiary within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act, shall have the same rights to contribution as the Phoenix
Finance Subsidiary.
Section 4.04. Liabilities. By entering into this Agreement,
the Phoenix Finance Subsidiary agrees to be liable, directly to each of PSSFC,
the Trustee and each Certificateholder, for the entire amount of any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (other than those incurred by a
Certificateholder in the capacity of an investor in the Certificates or those
which arise from any action by any Certificateholder) of the Trust (to the
extent Trust assets remaining after the Certificateholders have been paid in
full are insufficient to pay such losses, claims, damages or liabilities) and
the actions of the Servicer taken pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement as though the Trust were a partnership under the New York Revised
Limited Partnership Act in which the Phoenix Finance Subsidiary was a general
partner.

W I T N E S S E T H:
Reference is hereby made to that certain Receivables Transfer
Agreement dated as of November 1, 1995 (the "Receivables Transfer Agreement")
between the Phoenix Finance Subsidiary and PSSFC. Pursuant to the Receivables

PSSFC agreed to accept, from time to time, New Transferred Property (as defined

form of this Receivables Transfer Agreement Supplement.
The New Transferred Property consists of (a) (i) any New
Equipment that is owned by the Phoenix Finance Subsidiary and any and all
income and proceeds from such New Equipment, but subject to the rights of any
User to quiet enjoyment of such New Equipment under the related New Lease and
(ii) any security interest of the Phoenix Finance Subsidiary in any of the New

any warrants issued by a User to PLI.
The New Leases are those Leases listed on the List of New
Leases attached hereto.
29
The Cut-Off Date with respect to the New Leases is the close

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants
contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Section 1. Definitions. For the purposes of this Agreement,
capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the
respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Receivables Transfer

Section 2. Transfer. (a) The Phoenix Finance Subsidiary
hereby makes an additional transfer to PSSFC of all of its respective right,
title and interest in, to, and under the New Transferred Property, whether now

its right, title and interest in and to the New Transferred Property, whether
now existing or hereafter arising. Upon PSSFC's receipt of the New Transferred
