SECTION

of the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property.
(a) Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on and after the date of this
Agreement (but not after the occurrence of the Program Termination Date under
the RLSA), LEAF hereby agrees to, from time to time, (i) sell or contribute
(in
accordance with subsection
(f)
below),
transfer, assign, and otherwise convey (collectively, “Sell” and any such sale,
transfer, assignment, and/or other conveyance, a “Sale”) to the Purchaser,
without recourse (but with personal liability to the extent specifically
provided in Sections
4.3
and
6.1(a)
hereof),
and the Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase, all right, title and interest
of
LEAF in and to certain Receivables acquired by LEAF and the Related Security
and
Other Conveyed Property related thereto, (ii) transfer, or cause the deposit,
into the Collection Account of all Collections received by LEAF on account
of
any Receivables, Related Security and Other Conveyed Property Conveyed hereunder
on and after Cut-Off Date related to such Receivables, Related Security and
Other Conveyed Property, in each case, within one Business Day of the
identification thereof, (iii) transfer, or cause the deposit, into the Security
Deposit Account of funds in an amount equal to any Security Deposits related
to
any Receivables Conveyed hereunder, in each case, concurrent with the Conveyance
of such Receivables and (iv) transfer, or cause the deposit, into the Cash
Reserve Account of funds in an amount equal to any Cash Reserves related to
any
Receivables Conveyed hereunder, in each case, concurrent with the Conveyance
of
such Receivables. LEAF hereby acknowledges that each Conveyance to the Purchaser
hereunder is absolute and irrevocable, without reservation or retention of
any
interest whatsoever by LEAF.
4
(b) The
Sales
of Receivables, Related Security and Other Conveyed Property by LEAF to the
Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be absolute assignments
(free and clear of any Liens) of all of LEAF’s right, title and interest in, to
and under such Receivables, Related Security and Other Conveyed Property for
all
purposes and, except for personal liability to the extent specifically provided
in Sections
4.3
and
6.1(a)
hereof,
without recourse.
(c) It
is the
intention of LEAF and the Purchaser that the Receivables, Related Security
and
Other Conveyed Property Sold by LEAF to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement
shall not be part of LEAF’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy
petition by or against LEAF under any bankruptcy or similar law.
(d) In
the
event that the Sales of Receivables, Related Security and Other Conveyed
Property by LEAF to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement are deemed to
be a
secured financing (or are otherwise determined not to be absolute assignments
of
all of LEAF’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables,
Related Security and Other Conveyed Property Sold, or purportedly Sold
hereunder), then (i) LEAF shall be deemed hereunder to have granted to the
Purchaser, and LEAF does hereby grant to the Purchaser, a security interest
in
all of LEAF’s right, title and interest in, to and under such Receivables,
Related Security and Other Conveyed Property, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired and all proceeds of, and all amounts received or receivable under
any
or all of, the foregoing and (ii) this Agreement shall constitute a security
agreement under applicable law.
(e) LEAF
may
on any Business Day (each a “Conveyance Date”) deliver to the Purchaser a
Request Notice identifying the Receivables, Related Security and Other Conveyed
Property to be Sold by LEAF to the Purchaser on such Conveyance Date. Each
delivery of a Request Notice shall be accompanied by an updated Schedule of
Pool
A Receivables and an updated Schedule of Pool B Receivables, which schedules
shall be attached hereto as Schedules
C-1
and
C-2,
as
applicable, and made a part hereof. Each schedule so delivered shall supersede
any prior schedules so delivered.
(f) The
price
paid for Receivables and the Related Security and Other Conveyed Property
related thereto which are Sold hereunder shall be the Purchase Price with
respect thereto. Subject to the following sentence, such Purchase Price shall
be
paid by means of an immediate cash payment to LEAF by wire transfer on the
applicable Conveyance Date to an account designated by LEAF on or before such
Conveyance Date, and documented by means of proper accounting entries upon
the
accounts and records of LEAF and the Purchaser on the applicable Conveyance
Date. In the event that LEAF owns any membership interests in the Purchaser,
and
the Purchaser does not have sufficient cash to pay the full amount of the
Purchase Price for any Sale hereunder, LEAF may, in its sole discretion, elect
to contribute to the capital of the Purchaser a portion of the Receivables
(and
the Related Security and Other Conveyed Property related thereto) being Sold
on
the applicable Conveyance Date in an amount equal to such deficiency. LEAF
and
the Purchaser intend that the Purchase Price for any Receivables and the Related
Security and Other Conveyed Property related thereto Sold by LEAF to the
Purchaser hereunder reflect the fair market value which would be obtained in
an
arm’s length transaction with an unaffiliated party of such Receivables, at the
time of the applicable Sale.
5
(g) On
and
after each Conveyance Date hereunder, the Purchaser shall own the Receivables,
Related Security and Other Conveyed Property Sold by LEAF to the Purchaser
on
such Conveyance Date and LEAF shall not take any action inconsistent with such
ownership and shall not claim any ownership interest in such Receivables,
Related Security and/or Other Conveyed Property.
(h) Until
the
occurrence of a Servicer Default and the replacement of LEAF Financial
Corporation as Servicer pursuant to the terms of the RLSA, LEAF Financial
Corporation, as Servicer, shall conduct the servicing, administration and
collection of the Receivables Conveyed hereunder and shall take, or cause to
be
taken, all such actions as may be necessary or advisable to service, administer
and collect such Conveyed Receivables, from time to time, all in accordance
with
the terms of the RLSA. In accordance with the Custodial Agreement, certain
documents relating to Receivables Conveyed hereunder shall be delivered to
and
held in trust by the Custodian for the benefit of the Purchaser and its
assignees, and the Purchaser hereby instructs LEAF to so deliver such documents
to the Custodian. Such delivery to the Custodian of such documents and the
possession thereof by the Custodian is at the will of the Purchaser and its
assignees and in a custodial capacity for their benefit only.
(i) On
each
Conveyance Date, LEAF shall deliver to the Custodian on behalf of the Purchaser
and any assignee thereof each item contained in the Receivable Files of, and
any
other chattel paper (as defined in the UCC) representing or evidencing, any
of
the Receivables, the Related Security and the Other Conveyed Property related

the Backup Servicer, the Lender’s Bank and the Lender and each of their
respective Affiliates (each an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and
all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims, and liabilities, suffered or
sustained by any Indemnified Person arising out of or resulting from any breach
of LEAF’s representations, warranties, agreements and covenants contained
herein, except for any such amounts resulting solely from (A) any gross
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Person claiming
indemnification hereunder, (B) taxes (including interest and penalties imposed
thereon) imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Indemnified Person’s
principal executive office is located, on or measured by the overall net income
of such Indemnified Person; (C) Indemnified Amounts to the extent that they
are
or result from lost profits (other than principal, Yield and Fees with respect
to the Loans); and (D) Indemnified Amounts to the extent the same includes
losses in respect of Receivables that are uncollectible on account of the
insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness of the related Obligor or,
except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, would constitute
recourse to LEAF for losses in respect of such uncollectible Receivables (the
“Excluded Amounts”).
(b) LEAF
shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and
against any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims, and liabilities,
other than Excluded Amounts, arising out of, resulting from or otherwise related
to any Person’s use, ownership, leasing or operation of any Obligor Collateral
or Underlying Collateral to the extent that such use, ownership, leasing or
operation took place prior to the date the related Receivable is Conveyed
hereunder.
(c) LEAF
will
defend and indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person against any
and
all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities, other than
Excluded Amounts, arising out of or resulting from any action taken by LEAF,
other than in accordance with this Agreement, in respect of any portion of
the
Receivables or the Related Security and the Other Conveyed Property related
thereto which are Conveyed hereunder.
(d) LEAF
agrees to pay, and shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified
Person from and against, any taxes (other than taxes (including interest and
penalties imposed thereon) imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Indemnified
Person’s principal executive office is located, on or measured by the overall
net income of such Indemnified Person and taxes that would constitute Excluded
Amounts) that may at any time be asserted against any Indemnified Person with
respect to the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, including, without
limitation, any sales, gross receipts, general corporation, tangible or
intangible personal property, privilege, or license taxes and costs and expenses
in defending against the same, arising by reason of the acts to be performed
by

the
foregoing, in the event that the Purchaser, the Custodian, the Backup Servicer
or the Lender receives actual notice of any Transfer Taxes arising out of the
Conveyance of any Receivable, the Related Security with respect thereto, the
related Obligor Collateral and/or any other related Other Conveyed Property
from

solely because of its inclusion in a consolidated group, combined group, or
other similar group.

against any and all costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages, and liabilities,

through the negligence, willful misfeasance, or bad faith of LEAF in the
performance of its duties under this Agreement or by reason of reckless
disregard of LEAF’s obligations and duties under this Agreement.
(f) LEAF
shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and
against any loss, liability or expense, other than Excluded Amounts, imposed
upon, or incurred by, any such Indemnified Person as a result of the failure
of
any Receivable or the Related Security or the Other Conveyed Property related
thereto which are Conveyed hereunder, to comply with all requirements of
applicable law as of its Conveyance Date.
(g) LEAF
shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and
against any loss, liability or expense, other than Excluded Amounts, imposed
upon, or incurred by, any such Indemnified Person as a result of the failure
by
LEAF to comply with all requirements of Section
6.1
hereof.
Indemnification
under this Section
4.3
shall
include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation.
The
indemnity obligations hereunder shall be in addition to any obligation that
LEAF
may otherwise have under applicable law or any other Transaction
Document.

Date,
the Purchaser will have acquired good and marketable title to and a valid and
perfected ownership interest in such Receivables and Other Conveyed Property
related thereto, free and clear of any Adverse Claim or restrictions on
transferability (other than Permitted Liens). On or prior to each Conveyance
Date hereunder, LEAF shall take all steps required under applicable law in

$25,000 and is leased under a Dollar Purchase Option Contract or $50,000 and
is
leased under a FMV Contract) and, from time to time thereafter, LEAF shall
take
all such actions as may be required by applicable law (or deemed desirable
by
the Collateral Agent) to fully preserve, maintain and protect the Purchaser’s
ownership interest in, and the Collateral Agent’s first priority perfected
security interest in, the Receivables, the Related Security and the Other
Conveyed Property related thereto (other than with respect to Equipment which
has a value of less than $25,000 and is leased under a Dollar Purchase Option
Contract or $50,000 and is leased under a FMV Contract) which have been Conveyed
to the Purchaser hereunder.

respect to each Receivable Conveyed hereunder, LEAF shall, prior to or on the
Conveyance Date of such Receivable, (i) take or cause to be taken all steps
necessary under all applicable law in order to cause a valid, subsisting and
enforceable perfected, first priority security interest to exist in LEAF’s favor
in the Obligor Collateral securing such Receivable (other than with respect

Equipment which has an original value of less than $25,000 and is leased under
a
Dollar Purchase Option Contract or $50,000 and is leased under a FMV Contract),
(ii) have assigned the perfected, first priority security interest in the
Obligor Collateral referred to in clause (i) above to the Purchaser by means
of
a Conveyance hereunder and (iii) take or cause to be taken all steps necessary
under all applicable law in order to allow the Purchaser to assign the
perfected, first priority security interest in the Obligor Collateral referred
to in clause (i) above to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section
2.11
of the
RLSA.
17
(d) With
respect to each Receivable Conveyed hereunder, LEAF shall, prior to or on the
Conveyance Date of such Receivable, if the Obligor Collateral related to such
Receivable (other than a Vehicle Sublimit Pledged Receivable) is a Vehicle,
(X)
deliver to the Purchaser a Certificate of Title for such Vehicle naming the
Purchaser as the owner of such Vehicle and containing a notation of the lien
on
such Vehicle of the Collateral Agent or (Y) if such Certificate of Title has
not
yet been received, deliver to the Purchaser a copy of the duly completed and
executed application for such a Certificate of Title which shall have been
delivered to the appropriate Registrar of Titles;
(e) LEAF
shall not change its name, identity, or corporate structure in any manner that
would or could make any financing statement or continuation statement filed
by
LEAF (or by the Purchaser on behalf of LEAF) in accordance with paragraph (a)
above seriously misleading within the meaning of § 9-506 of the UCC (or any
similar provision of the UCC), unless LEAF shall have given the Purchaser,
the
Custodian, the Backup Servicer and the Lender at least 30 days prior written
notice thereof, and shall promptly file and hereby authorize the Purchaser
or
the Lender to file appropriate new financing statements or amendments to all
previously filed financing statements and continuation statements.
(f) LEAF
shall give the Purchaser, the Custodian, the Backup Servicer and the Lender
at
least 30 days prior written notice of any change in its jurisdiction of
incorporation, if, as a result of such change, the applicable provisions of
the
UCC would require the filing of any amendment of any previously filed financing
or continuation statement or of any new financing statement. LEAF shall at
all
times maintain its jurisdiction of incorporation, each office from which it
services Receivables and its principal executive office within the United States
of America.
(g) LEAF
shall maintain its computer systems so that, from and after the time of
Conveyance under this Agreement of Receivables (and the Other Conveyed Property
related thereto) to the Purchaser and the grant of a security interest in such
Receivables (and the Related Security and the Other Conveyed Property related
thereto) by the Purchaser to the Collateral Agent, LEAF’s master computer
records (including archives) that shall refer to such a Receivable (and the
Related Security and the Other Conveyed Property related thereto) indicate
clearly that such Receivable (and the Related Security and the Other Conveyed
Property related thereto) has been Conveyed to the Purchaser hereunder and
Pledged by the Purchaser under the RLSA. Indication of the Collateral Agent’s
security interest in a Receivable (and the Related Security and the Other
Conveyed Property related thereto) Conveyed hereunder shall be deleted from
or
modified on LEAF’s computer systems when, and only when, such Conveyed
Receivable shall be (i) paid off by the related Obligor, (ii) liquidated by
the
Servicer, (iii) purchased by LEAF in accordance with Section
6.1
or
6.2
hereof
or (iv) released by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section
2.13
of the
RLSA.
(h) If
at any
time LEAF shall propose to sell, grant a security interest in, or otherwise
transfer any interest in any loan, installment sale contract or lease
receivables to any prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee, LEAF
shall
give to such prospective purchaser, lender, or other transferee computer tapes,
records, or print-outs (including any restored from archives) that, if they
shall refer in any manner whatsoever to any Receivable (and/or the Related
Security and the Other Conveyed Property related thereto) Conveyed hereunder,
shall indicate
18
clearly
that such Receivable (and the Related Security and the Other Conveyed Property
related thereto) has been so Conveyed to the Purchaser and is subject to a
security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent.
SECTION
5.2 Other
Liens or Interests.
Except
for the Conveyances hereunder, LEAF will not sell, pledge, assign, transfer
or
otherwise convey to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer
to exist any Adverse Claim on the Receivables or the Related Security and the
Other Related Property related thereto Conveyed hereunder or any interest
therein, and LEAF shall defend the right, title, and interest of the Purchaser
and the Collateral Agent in and to such Receivables and the Related Security
and
the Other Conveyed Property related thereto against all Adverse Claims of third
parties claiming through or under LEAF. To the extent that any Contract contains
a provision stating that the Equipment which is the subject of such Contract
shall at any time secure any debt of the related Obligor or Underlying Obligor
to LEAF other than under such Contract, LEAF agrees that any security interest
in its favor arising from such a provision shall be subordinate to the security
interest (and, in the event of enforcement of such security interest by the
Purchaser, the ownership interest) of the Purchaser in such
Equipment.

and Expenses.

shall pay all reasonable, documented costs and disbursements in connection
with

PURCHASES
BY LEAF
SECTION
6.1 Purchases
by LEAF.
(a) In
the
event of the occurrence of a LEAF Purchase Event, LEAF shall, unless such LEAF
Purchase Event shall have been cured in all respects, purchase each Receivable
Conveyed hereunder which is affected by or related to such LEAF Purchase Event
from the Purchaser within five Business Days of the discovery by or notice
(from
any Person) to LEAF of such LEAF Purchase Event, and LEAF shall pay to the
Purchaser (by means of a transfer to the Collection Account) the Repurchase
Price of such Receivable determined as of the date of the purchase thereof
from
the Purchaser. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the
RLSA
to the contrary, the obligation of LEAF under this Section shall be performed
in
accordance with the terms hereof notwithstanding the failure of the Servicer
or
the Purchaser to perform any of their respective obligations with respect to
such Receivable under the RLSA. It is understood and agreed that the obligation
of LEAF to cure a LEAF Purchase Event or purchase the Receivables Conveyed
hereunder which are affected by or related to such LEAF Purchase Event shall
(i)
constitute the sole remedy against LEAF with respect to such LEAF Purchase
Event
available to the Purchaser or the Lender or any assignee of any of the foregoing
(except for indemnities, if applicable, provided for under Section 4.3(a) hereof
or under the RLSA) and (ii) is not intended to, and shall not, constitute a
guaranty of the collectibility or payment of any Receivable which is not
collected, not paid or uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy,
or financial inability to pay of the related Obligor.
19
(b) LEAF
shall have the right to repurchase Receivables Conveyed hereunder upon not
less
than three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Purchaser; provided,
however,
that
the aggregate Discounted Balance of all Receivables repurchased pursuant to
this
Section 6.1(b) may not exceed 5% of the aggregate Discounted Balance of all
Receivables Conveyed by LEAF pursuant to this Agreement, determined for each
Receivable as of the time of the Sale of such Receivable pursuant to
Section
2.1
hereof.
Such notice shall specify the date that LEAF desires that such repurchase occur
(such date, the “Repurchase
Date”)
and
shall identify the Receivables to be included in such repurchase. LEAF agrees
that it will not utilize any selection procedure in selecting the Receivables
to
be so repurchased which is adverse to the interests of the Purchaser or its
assigns or would reasonably be expected to result in the repurchased Receivables
containing a lower percentage of Defaulted Receivables or Delinquent Receivables
than the percentage of Defaulted Receivables or Delinquent Receivables, as
applicable, in the Receivables retained by the Purchaser. On the Repurchase
Date, LEAF shall pay to the Purchaser (by means of a transfer to the Collection
Account) an amount equal to the aggregate Discounted Balance of the Receivables
included in such repurchase as of the date of such repurchase. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in no event shall LEAF be entitled to repurchase any Conveyed
Receivable unless, after giving effect to any such repurchase and the
application of the proceeds thereof in accordance with the terms hereof and
Section
2.04
of the
RLSA, there shall not be a Borrowing Base Deficiency, Program Termination Event,
Pool A Termination Event or a Pool B Termination Event (and such Pool B
Termination Event is related to such Pledged Receivable), or an event that
but
for notice or lapse of time or both would constitute any of the foregoing
events.
SECTION
6.2 Reassignment
of Purchased Receivables.
Upon
deposit in the Collection Account of the price paid to the Purchaser for any
Receivable purchased by LEAF under Section
6.1,
the
Purchaser shall (and shall request the Collateral Agent to) take such steps
as
may be reasonably requested by LEAF in order to assign to LEAF all of the
Purchaser’s and the Collateral Agent’s right, title and interest in and to such
Receivable and all security and documents and all Related Security and Other
Conveyed Property Conveyed to the Purchaser and the Collateral Agent directly
relating thereto, without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind,
except as to the absence of liens, charges or encumbrances created by or arising
solely as a result of actions of the Purchaser or the Collateral Agent. Such
assignment shall be a sale and assignment outright, and not for security. If,
following the reassignment of a Receivable, in any enforcement suit or legal
proceeding, it is held that LEAF may not enforce any such Receivable on the
ground that it shall not be a party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce
such Receivable, the Purchaser shall, at the expense of LEAF, take such steps
as
LEAF deems reasonably necessary to enforce such Receivable, including bringing
suit in the Purchaser’s name.
SECTION
6.3 Waivers.
No
failure or delay on the part of the Purchaser or any assignee thereof, in
exercising any power, right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as
a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power,
right or remedy preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise
of
any other power, right or remedy.
