Contracts and the other Contributed Property, to promptly indicate to all

Contracts and the other Contributed Property, that the Contracts and the other
Contributed Property have been contributed and assigned to the Transferor and to
claim no ownership interest in the Contracts and the other Contributed Property.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall affect in any respect the rights of
the Contributor, its successors and assigns, to deal in any Unrelated Property.

actions and execute such documents as are necessary to protect the Trustee's
interest in the Contracts, security interest in the Equipment and the other

SECTION 2. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, COVENANTS AND
AGREEMENTS OF THE CONTRIBUTOR
The Contributor (in its capacity as such and as the initial

and covenants and agrees with the Transferor for the benefit of the Transferor,
the Issuer, the Trustee and the Noteholders with respect to the Initial
Contracts, as of the Closing Date and, with respect to any Substitute Contracts
(except for Sections 2.02 and 2.25) as of each Substitution Date (unless

2.01 CORPORATE ORGANIZATION AND AUTHORITY. The
Contributor (in its capacity as such and as the initial Servicer under this
Agreement):

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
4

business or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Contributor or
impair the enforceability of any Contract) and to enter into and
perform its obligations under this Agreement and each Transaction
Document to which it is a party and the transactions contemplated
hereby, including performance of the duties of the Servicer and the
Contributor hereunder;
(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

aggregate have a material adverse effect on the Trust Property or the
business or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Contributor or
impair the enforceability of any Contract); and
(d) has duly executed and delivered this Agreement
and each Transaction Document to which it is a party and all other
documents delivered in connection herewith, and this Agreement are each
the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Contributor enforceable

laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and by equitable
principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is in a
proceeding in equity or at law).
2.02 Business and Property. The Prospectus Supplement (the
"Prospectus Supplement") dated November 13, 2000, to the Prospectus, dated
January 12, 2000, correctly describes in all material respects the Initial

to such date, with respect to each item of Equipment related to Fair Market
Value Leases, the Contributor will have paid in full to the manufacturer or

the Contracts and either a valid first priority security interest in the
Contributor's interest in the Equipment (except for Equipment relating to a
Secured Equipment Note or Finance Lease and for which the Original Equipment
Cost is less than $25,000), or, with respect to DVI Fair Market Value Leases, an
ownership interest in the related Equipment subject to any Contract; at such
time, the Contracts and the Transferor's interest in the Equipment will be free
and clear of all Liens other than the rights of each Obligor under the Contract
to which such Obligor is a party and Liens to be discharged on the Closing Date;
and there will be no delinquent taxes or other outstanding charges affecting the
Equipment which are or may be Liens;
(ii) each of the Contracts is a legal, valid and binding full
recourse obligation of the related Obligor, enforceable by the Contributor (and
its designee) against such Obligor in accordance with the terms thereof, except
as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights and by
general equitable principles, 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 the
origination, enforceability or assignment of each Contract have been complied
with; and the Contributor has no knowledge of any challenge, dispute or claim by
the Obligor under or affecting any Contract or of the bankruptcy or the
insolvency of any such Obligor;
(iii) the obligation of each Obligor to pay Contract Payments
under each of its related Contract(s) throughout the term thereof is and will be
unconditional, without any right of set- off by such Obligor and without regard
to any event affecting the Equipment, the obsolescence of any Equipment, any
claim of such Obligor against the Contributor or any change in circumstance of
such Obligor or any other circumstance whatsoever;
(iv) the Contributor has no knowledge that any item of the
Equipment has suffered any loss or damage except for such Equipment that has
been restored to its original condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted;
(v) each Contract requires the Obligor thereunder to either
maintain insurance covering damage to, destruction or theft of the Equipment
subject thereto in an amount at least equal to the remaining Discounted Contract
Balance of such Contract;

term of more than 83 months, (B) no Contract Payment under any Contract is
delinquent for more than sixty (60) days and (C) no event of default has
occurred and is continuing under any Contract;
(vii) there will be no facts or circumstances existing as of
the time of the transfer pursuant to this Agreement which give rise, or would
give rise at any time in the future, to any right of rescission, offset,
counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, to the obligations of
any Obligor, including the obligation of such Obligor to pay all amounts due
with respect to any Contract and neither the operation of any of the terms of
any Contract or the exercise of any right thereunder will render such Contract
unenforceable in whole or in part or subject to any right of rescission, offset,
counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and no such right of
rescission, offset, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect
thereto;
6

any respect and no provision of any Contract has been waived, except in writing
and copies of all such writings are attached to the Contract delivered to the
Transferor;
(ix) no Obligor has been released, in whole or in part, from
any of its obligations in respect of a Contract; no Contract has been satisfied,

instrument been executed that would effect any such satisfaction, release,
cancellation, subordination or rescission;
(x) each Contract is in substantially one of the forms
included as Exhibit G to this Agreement, and no Contract shall have been the
subject of any restructuring of the terms and provisions thereof;
(xi) no Contract permits early termination or voluntary

Servicer;
(xv) the Contributor has no knowledge that the obligations of
any Obligor under any Contract will not be paid in full;
(xvi) no Contract will have been originated in or be subject
to the laws of any jurisdiction whose laws would make the assignment and
transfer thereof pursuant to the terms hereof or of the other Transaction
Documents unlawful;
(xvii) in the case of each Contract which consists of a master
lease and one or more exhibits or schedules thereto, (A) the Contributor has not
assigned and will not assign such master lease in its entirety, and has not
delivered and will not deliver physical possession of such master lease, to any
Person other than the Trustee and (B) such exhibits or schedules constitute a
separate contract and are not part of any other contract not sold to the
Transferor;
(xviii) all parties to each Contract had requisite authority

of the Contributor as lessor, secured party or seller as the case may be, and
contains provisions sufficient for the realization of such leasehold interest,
security interest or ownership interest as the case may be, as against such
Equipment, and is assignable by the Contributor without the consent of any other
Person;
(xxiv) each Contract provides that the Contributor has no
obligation to assemble, install, test, adjust or service the Equipment subject
to a Contract. Each Contract provides that the Obligor, at its sole expense, at
all times during the term of the Contract and until return of the Equipment will
maintain the Equipment in good operating order, repair, condition, appearance

adversely affect its present or future value,(iv) extend the Stated Maturity
Date of the Notes, (v) have a material adverse effect on the weighted average

account, would maximize Recoveries on any Defaulted Contract, or (2) permit
termination of a Contract which does not otherwise provide for termination by
requiring, in the case of either clause (1) or (2), that the Obligor pay, or, if
the terms of such extension or termination do not provide for such payment by
the Obligor that the Servicer deposit, in lieu of all future Contract Payments
with respect to such Contract, an amount which equals or exceeds the applicable
Prepayment Amount for such Contract as of 11:00 A.M. New York time on the second
Business Day prior to the Payment Date next succeeding the making of such
payment is deposited into the Collection Account; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the

Contract in accordance with this Section 4.02, the Servicer will promptly
furnish the Transferor, the Issuer and the Trustee with a copy thereof, together
with a certificate of the Servicer signed by one of its executive or financial
officers stating that such modification, waiver or amendment is not prohibited

Equipment and other collateral, if any and (ii) to sell or re-lease any
Equipment remaining subject to the lien of the Amended and Restated Indenture
upon the expiration of the Contract to which such Equipment is subject, in a

equipment owned by it so as to maximize, to the extent possible under then
prevailing market conditions, the net proceeds from such Equipment.

item of Equipment pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.03 at a time when

actions taken, or failed to be taken, by the Transferor), all of the
Transferor's right, title and interest in and to such Predecessor Contracts and
the security interest in the related Equipment, and all security and documents
relating thereto.
(c) The Transferor, the Issuer and the Trustee agree that the

keep in full force and effect its existence, rights and franchise as a
corporation under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and will

jurisdiction in which such qualification is necessary to protect the validity
and enforceability of any of the Contracts or to permit performance of the
Servicer's duties under this Agreement.
The Servicer shall not merge or consolidate with any other
Person unless: (i) the entity surviving such merger or consolidation is a
corporation organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof,
(ii) the surviving entity, if not the Servicer, shall execute and deliver to the

ratings for the Notes and (iv) immediately after giving effect to such
transaction, no Servicer Event of Default, and no event which, after notice or
lapse of time, or both, would become a Servicer Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing.
8.02 Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others. (a)
Neither the Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of
the Servicer shall incur any liability to the Transferor, the Issuer, the
Trustee or the holders of the Notes, for any action taken or not taken in good
faith pursuant to the terms of this Agreement with respect to any Contract
(including any Defaulted Contract) or the Equipment subject thereto; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such person
against any breach of representations or warranties made by it herein or in any
certificate delivered in conjunction with the purchase of the Notes or for any
liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance or
negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder.
(b) Except as provided in this Agreement, the Servicer shall
not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute, or defend any legal action
that shall not be incidental to its duties to service the Contracts in
accordance with this Agreement, and that in its opinion may involve it in any
expense or liability; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Servicer may undertake, at its
expense, any reasonable action that it may deem necessary or desirable in
respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties to this
Agreement and the interests of the Noteholders under this Agreement.

8.03 SERVICER NOT TO RESIGN OR BE REMOVED. The Servicer shall
not resign from the servicing obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except
in connection with an assignment permitted by Section 11.02 hereof or upon
determination that such duties hereunder are no longer permissible under
applicable law. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the
Servicer shall be evidenced by an opinion of independent counsel, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Noteholders evidencing more than 50% of the Voting
Rights, to such effect delivered to the Trustee.
Except as provided in Section 10.02 hereof, the Servicer shall
not be removed or be replaced as Servicer with respect to any Contract or
Equipment; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that upon the occurrence of any Amortization
Event, Noteholders evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights shall
have the right to replace DVI as Servicer with a successor Servicer in
accordance with Section 10.02 hereof.
No resignation or removal of the Servicer shall in any event
(i) become effective until the successor Servicer shall have assumed the
Servicer's servicing responsibilities and obligations
29
in accordance with Section 10.02 hereof, or (ii) affect the Contributor's
obligations pursuant to this Agreement.
8.04 FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS INFORMATION. The Servicer will
deliver to the Transferor, the Issuer, the Trustee (who shall forward copies to
each Noteholder) and the Rating Agencies:

Financial Services Inc. is the Servicer, DVI, Inc.'s) annual report to
shareholders and reports on Form 8-K, 10-K, and 10-Q), proxy statement,
registration statement, prospectus and notices filed with or delivered
to any securities exchange, the Securities and Exchange Commission or
any successor agencies, in each case relating to the Transferor or the

of any condition or event which constitutes a Servicer Event of
Default, a written notice describing its nature and period of existence
and what action the Servicer is taking or proposes to take with respect
thereto;
(c) promptly upon the Servicer's becoming aware of:
(i) any proposed or pending
investigation of it by any governmental authority or agency,
or
(ii) any court or administrative proceeding
which individually or in the aggregate involves the possibility of
materially and adversely affecting the properties, business, profits or
conditions (financial or otherwise) of the Servicer, a written notice
specifying the nature of such investigation or proceeding and what
action the Servicer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto
and evaluating its merits; and
(d) (i) upon request, the Servicer shall furnish to
the Transferor, the Issuer and the Trustee, within ten (10) Business
Days, a list of all Contracts (by contract number and name of Obligor),
as of the end of the most recent Collection Period, held as part of the
Trust Property, together with a reconciliation of such list to the
Contract Schedule and (ii) with reasonable promptness, any other data
and information which may be reasonably requested from time to time.
8.05 OFFICER'S CERTIFICATES. With each set of documents
delivered pursuant to Section 8.04(a), the Servicer will deliver an Officer's
Certificate stating (i) that the officer signing such Certificate have reviewed
the relevant terms of this Agreement and have made, or caused to be made under
such officer's supervision, a review of the activities of the Servicer during
the period covered by the statements then being furnished, (ii) that the review
has not disclosed the existence of any Servicer Event of Default or, if a
Servicer Event of Default exists, describing its nature and what action the
Servicer has taken and is taking with respect thereto and (iii) that on the
basis of such review the officer signing such certificate is of the opinion that
during such period the Servicer has
30
serviced the Contracts in compliance with the procedures hereof except as
described in such certificate.
8.06 INSPECTION. The Servicer shall make available to the
Trustee or its duly authorized representatives, attorneys or auditors, and the
Noteholders or their duly authorized representative attorneys or auditors copies
of the Contract Files and the related accounts, records and computer systems
maintained by the Servicer at such times during normal operating hours as the
Trustee shall reasonably request which does not unreasonably interfere with the
Servicer's normal operations or customer or employee relations. Nothing in this
Section 8.06 shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any
applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors, and
the failure of the Servicer to provide access to information as a result of such
obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 8.06. Any expense
incident to the exercise by the Trustee or any Noteholder during the continuance
of a Servicer Event of Default of any right under this Section 8.06 shall be
borne by the Servicer, but any expense due to the exercise of a right by any
such Person prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default shall be
borne by such Person.
8.07 SERVICER RECORDS. On or before the Closing Date, the
Servicer will indicate in its records that it is servicing and administering

Transaction Documents) and its successors and assigns (including the Issuer and
the Trustee).
8.08 INSURANCE. The Servicer will track, on a quarterly basis,

amounts owing pursuant to the Transaction Documents, institute against, or join
any other Person in instituting against, any of the Transferor, the Managing
Member or the Issuer, any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, arrangement,
insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceedings under any
federal or state bankruptcy or similar law. This Section 8.09 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.
8.10 FIDELITY BOND AND ERRORS AND OMISSIONS INSURANCE. The
Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an
errors and omissions insurance policy, with coverage appropriate and customary
in the industry with responsible companies on all officers, employees or other
persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Contracts to handle funds,
money, documents and papers relating to the Contracts. Any such fidelity bond
and errors and omissions insurance shall protect and insure the Servicer against
losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and
negligent acts of such persons and shall be maintained in a form and amount that
would meet the requirements of a prudent institutional servicer. No provision of
this Section 8.10 requiring such fidelity bond and errors and omissions
insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its duties and obligations
as set forth in this Agreement. Any such fidelity bond or insurance policy shall
not be cancelled or modified in a materially adverse manner without ten days'
prior written notice to the Rating Agencies. Promptly
31
upon receipt of any notice from the surety or the insurer that such fidelity
bond or insurance policy has been terminated or materially modified, the
Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the Rating Agency of any such termination
or modification.

Contributor at such times during normal operating hours as the Trustee, the
Managing Member, the Issuer or the Transferor shall reasonably instruct which do
not unreasonably interfere with the Contributor's normal operations or customer
or employee relations. Nothing in this Section 9.03 shall affect the obligation
of the Contributor to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of
information regarding the Obligors, and the failure of the Contributor to
provide access to information as a result of such obligation shall not
constitute a breach of this Section 9.03. Any expense incident to the exercise
by the Trustee or any Noteholder during the continuance of a Servicer Event of

survive the termination of this Agreement.
9.05 ACCOUNTS, BOOKS AND RECORDS.
(a) The Contributor shall maintain accounts and records as to
each Contract accurately and in sufficient detail to permit the reader thereof
to know at any time the status of such Contract, including payments and
recoveries made and payments owing (and the nature of each). Prior to the
transfer of the Contracts to the Transferor, the Contributor will clearly xxxx
its books and records and each Contract File (including each Contract) to
reflect each sale of a Contract and the Equipment subject thereto to the
Transferor, the resale to the Issuer and to show that the Issuer owns the
Contracts absolutely. The Contributor or the Transferor, as the case may be,
will cause the electronic ledger, the Contract File (including the Contract),
with respect to each Contract and the related Contract and the Contract Schedule
to be clearly and unambiguously marked to show that such Contract and the
related Contract has been contributed by Contributor to the Transferor, resold
by the Transferor to the Issuer and pledged by the Issuer to the Trustee for the
benefit of the Noteholders pursuant to the Amended and Restated Indenture.
33

taxes) when due and payable by Contributor, the DVI Group, the Managing Member,
or the Transferor, except (i) such as may be paid thereafter without penalty or
(ii) such as may be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for
which an adequate reserve has been established and is maintained in accordance
with GAAP. The Contributor shall promptly notify the Transferor, the Trustee,
the Managing Member and the Noteholders of any material challenge, contest or
proceeding pending by or against Contributor, the Managing Member, or the DVI
Group before any taxing authority.
9.07 INSURANCE. The Contributor will at all times maintain
general liability and excess liability insurance policies in at least the amount
set forth in Section 2.26.

9-402(7) of the UCC, unless it shall have given the Transferor at least thirty
(30) days' prior written notice thereof and shall promptly file appropriate
amendments to all previously filed UCC financing statements or continuation
statements.
(b) If at any time the Contributor shall propose to sell,
grant a security interest in, or otherwise transfer any interest in contracts to
any prospective purchaser, lender, or other transferee, the Contributor 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 Contract, shall indicate clearly
that such Contract has been sold to the Transferor and then resold to the Issuer
and pledged by the Issuer to the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders.
(c) The Contributor shall deliver to the Transferor, the
Managing Member, the Rating Agencies and the Trustee promptly after the
execution and delivery of each amendment
34
hereto, an opinion of counsel either (i) stating that, in the opinion of such
counsel, all UCC financing statements and continuation statements necessary to
preserve and protect fully the interest of the Transferor, the Issuer and the
Trustee in the Trust Property have been filed or, with respect to the Equipment,
are required to be filed within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date or
the Substitution Date, as applicable, or (ii) stating that, in the opinion of
such counsel, no such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such
interest.
9.09 OTHER LIENS OR INTERESTS. Except for the conveyances
hereunder, the Contributor will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any
other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any lien on the

Contributor shall defend the right, title, and interest of the Transferor, the
Issuer and the Trustee in, to and under the Contracts and the other Trust
Property against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the

Servicer of the termination of all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer
(but none of the Contributor's obligations hereunder, which shall survive any

written notice, all rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement,
including without limitation the Servicer's right hereunder to receive Servicing
Fees accruing subsequent to such termination date, but none of the Contributor's
obligations hereunder, shall cease and the same shall pass to and be vested in,
and assumed by, the Trustee pursuant to and under this Agreement and the Amended
and Restated Indenture subject to the provisions of Section 10.03; and, without
limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in- fact or otherwise, any and
all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such
notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and assignment of any

assumption or to cause Obligors to remit all future Contract Payments and other
amounts due under any Contract to such account as shall be specified by the
Trustee. The Servicer may be removed only pursuant to a Servicer Event of

10.03 TRUSTEE TO ACT; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR.
(a) On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of
termination pursuant to Section 10.02 hereof, the Trustee (subject to subsection
(b) hereof) shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its
capacity as servicer under this Agreement of the Contracts and, to such extent,
shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities (other than
the duty to advance funds and to indemnify) relating thereto placed on the
Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof (but not the obligations of the
Contributor contained herein which shall survive any such termination as above
provided) and shall be entitled to receive from the Transferor the Servicing Fee
and other servicing compensation provided for in Section 4.04 hereof; PROVIDED
that the Trustee shall in no way be responsible or liable for any action or
actions of the Servicer before the time the Servicer receives such a notice of
termination.
(b) The Trustee may, if it is unwilling or unable to act as
the successor Servicer, give notice of such fact to each Noteholder and (i)
appoint a successor Servicer with a net worth of at least $15,000,000 and
reasonably acceptable to Noteholders evidencing more than 50% of the Voting
Rights and whose regular business includes the servicing of receivables arising
from equipment similar to the Equipment, as the successor Servicer hereunder to
assume all of the rights
37
and obligations of the Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the
Servicer's right (but not the obligations of the Contributor contained herein)
hereunder to receive the Servicing Fee (PROVIDED THAT, notwithstanding any other
provision to the contrary contained in any Transaction Document, no increase in
the Servicer Fee due to any successor Servicer shall be made without the consent
of the Noteholders that hold, as of the date of determination, more than 50% of
the then-Outstanding Note Balance of each class of Notes then Outstanding) or,
(ii) if no such institution is so appointed, petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint an institution meeting such criteria as the Servicer
hereunder. Pending appointment of a successor Servicer hereunder, the Trustee
shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such
appointment and assumption, the Trustee shall cause such successor Servicer to
enter into a servicing agreement substantially in the form of this Agreement
except that such agreement shall not include any of the Contributor's
representations, warranties or obligations and the Trustee may make arrangements
for the compensation of such successor Servicer out of payments on Contracts and
the related Contracts as it and such successor Servicer shall agree; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that provided in
Section 4.04 hereof. Neither the Trustee nor a Successor Servicer shall be
deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of its failure to make, or its delay
in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof which failure or
delay was caused by (i) the failure of the prior Servicer to deliver, or any
delay in delivering, cash, documents or records to it, or (ii) restrictions
imposed by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the prior Servicer.
10.04 SERVICER TO COOPERATE. The Servicer hereby agrees to
cooperate with the successor Servicer appointed in accordance with Section 10.02
or 10.03 hereof, as applicable, in effecting the termination and transfer of the
responsibilities and rights of the Servicer hereunder to the successor Servicer,
including, without limitation, the execution and delivery of assignments of UCC
financing statements, and the transfer to the successor Servicer for
administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be held by the
Servicer or thereafter received with respect to the Contracts and the related
Contracts. The Servicer hereby agrees to transfer to any successor Servicer its
electronic records and all other records, correspondence and documents relating
to the Contracts and the related Contracts in the manner and at such times as
the successor Servicer shall reasonably request. The Servicer hereby designates
the successor Servicer its agent and attorney-in-fact to execute transfers of
UCC financing statements (including any and all UCC financing statements naming
an individual Obligor as debtor and the Contributor as secured party) and any
other filings or instruments which may be necessary or advisable to effect such
transfer of the Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder. Upon any such
termination or appointment of a successor Servicer, the Trustee shall give
prompt written notice thereof to each Noteholder in the manner provided in the
Amended and Restated Indenture.
10.05 REMEDIES NOT EXCLUSIVE. Nothing in the preceding
provisions of this Section 10 shall be interpreted as limiting or restricting
any rights or remedies which the Transferor, the Issuer, the Trustee, the
Noteholders or any other Person would otherwise have at law or in equity on
account of the breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement by the
Servicer, including without limitation the right to recover full and complete
damages on account thereof to the extent not inconsistent with Section 8.02
hereof.
10.06 WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS. Holders of Notes evidencing
more than 50% of the Voting Rights may waive any default by the Servicer in the
performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such
waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and
38
any default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every
purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent
expressly so waived.
SECTION 11. ASSIGNMENT
11.01 ASSIGNMENT TO TRUSTEE. It is understood that this
Agreement and all rights of the Transferor hereunder and with respect to the
Contributed Property will be assigned by the Transferor to the Issuer, and then
assigned by the Issuer to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Trustee and the
Noteholders, and may be subsequently assigned by the Trustee to any successor
Trustee. Each of the Contributor and the Servicer hereby expressly agrees to
each such assignment and agrees that all of its duties, covenants, obligations,
indemnities, representations and warranties hereunder, and all of the rights and
remedies of the Transferor hereunder, shall be for the benefit of, and may be
enforced directly by, the Issuer, the Trustee, the Noteholders and any successor
to or assignee of any thereof.
11.02 ASSIGNMENT BY CONTRIBUTOR OR SERVICER. None of the
respective rights or obligations of the Contributor and the Servicer hereunder
may be assigned without the prior written consent of the Transferor and the
Trustee (acting upon the instructions of Noteholders evidencing not less than
66-2/3% of the Voting Rights); PROVIDED that nothing herein shall preclude the
Servicer from performing its duties hereunder through the use of agents to the
extent that such use is consistent with the Servicer's business practices in
dealing with similar contracts and equipment for its own account, and PROVIDED,
FURTHER, that the use of an agent shall not relieve the Servicer from any of its
obligations hereunder.
SECTION 12. NATURE OF CONTRIBUTOR'S OBLIGATIONS AND SECURITY
THEREFOR
12.01 CONTRIBUTOR'S OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE. The obligations of
the Contributor hereunder, and the rights of the Issuer and the Trustee, as
assignee of the Transferor, in and to all amounts payable by the Contributor
hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be subject to any
abatement, reduction, setoff, defense, counterclaim or recoupment whatsoever
including, without limitation, abatements, reductions, setoffs, defenses,
counterclaims or recoupments due or alleged to be due to, or by reason of, any
past, present or future claims which the Contributor may have against the
Servicer, the Issuer, the Managing Member, the Transferor, the Trustee, any
holder of the Notes or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; nor, except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, shall this Agreement terminate, or the
respective obligations of the Transferor, the Contributor or the Servicer be
otherwise affected, by reason of any defect in any Contract or in any unit of
Equipment or in the respective rights and interests of the Transferor, the
Issuer, the Contributor and the Trustee in any thereof, or by reason of any
liens, encumbrances, security interests or rights of others with respect to any
Contract or any unit of Equipment, or any failure by the Transferor, or the
Servicer to perform any of its obligations herein contained, or by reason of any
other indebtedness or liability, howsoever and whenever arising, of the
Transferor, the Issuer, the Managing Member, the Servicer, the Trustee or any
holder of the Notes to the Contributor or any other Person or by reason of any
insolvency, bankruptcy, or similar proceedings by or against the Contributor,
the
39
Servicer, the Transferor, the Issuer, the Trustee or any other Person or for any
other cause whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, any present or
future law to the contrary notwithstanding, it being the intention of the
parties hereto that all obligations of the Contributor hereunder and all amounts
payable by the Contributor hereunder shall continue to be due and payable in all
events and in the manner and at the times herein provided unless and until the
obligation to perform or pay the same shall be terminated or limited pursuant to
the express provisions of this Agreement; PROVIDED that nothing in this Section
12.01 shall be interpreted as precluding the Contributor from pursuing
independently any claim it may have against the Transferor, the Servicer, the
Issuer, the Managing Member, any holder of the Notes or any other Person;
PROVIDED, FURTHER, that any claims of the Contributor against the Transferor
shall be subordinate in right of payment to amounts due and owing to the Trustee
under the Amended and Restated Indenture and any amounts received by the
Contributor on such claims shall be held in trust by the Contributor for the
Trustee and turned over to the Trustee until such time as all amounts due the
Trustee under the Transaction Document are fully paid.
12.02 POWER OF ATTORNEY. Each of the Contributor and Servicer
hereby grants to each of the Transferor and the Trustee the power as its
attorney-in-fact (i) to file UCC financing statements in the appropriate offices
evidencing the conveyance of the Contracts and other Contributed Property to the
Transferor and (ii) in the event an event of default exists under any
Transaction Document, to do any and all other acts as may be necessary or
appropriate to effect the transaction contemplated herein. The Contributor will
execute any document or instrument deemed necessary by the Transferor or the
Trustee to effect or to evidence this power of attorney. All costs associated
with such filings or instructions shall be paid by the Contributor.
SECTION 13. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
13.01 SALE. The Contributor agrees to treat the conveyances to
the Transferor of the Contributor's interest in the Contracts and Equipment
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes other than taxes
measured by income (including, without limitation, financial accounting purposes
of the Contributor on a stand alone basis) as a sale of the Contributor's
interest in the Contracts and Equipment on all relevant books, records,
financial statements and other applicable documents. The execution and delivery
of this Agreement shall constitute an acknowledgment by the Contributor and the
Transferor that each intends that the assignment and transfer herein
contemplated constitutes an outright sale and assignment to the Transferor by
the Contributor of its interest in the Contracts and the other Contributed
Property, and not for security, conveying good title in such interests free and
clear of any liens, and that such interest shall not be a part of the
Contributor's estate in the event of the bankruptcy or the occurrence of another
similar event, of, or with respect to, the Contributor. In the event that such
conveyance is determined to be made as security for a loan made by the
Transferor, the Issuer, the Trust or the Noteholders to the Contributor, the
parties intend that the Contributor shall have granted to the Transferor, and
its successors and assigns, a security interest in the Contracts and other
Contributed Property and that this Agreement shall constitute a security
agreement under applicable law.
The conveyance to the Transferor shall be treated as a sale to
the extent of cash remitted to the Contributor and shall be treated as an
additional contribution to the capital of the
40
Transferor to the extent of the excess of the Discounted Contract Balances of
the Contracts conveyed over the amount of such cash.
13.02 AMENDMENT. This Agreement may be amended from time to
time by the parties hereto, without the consent of any of the Noteholders, to
cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein which may be
inconsistent with any other provision herein or to make any other provisions
with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement which shall
not be materially inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, PROVIDED
that such actions shall not adversely affect in any respect the interests of any
Noteholder.
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the
parties hereto with the consent of the Holders of Notes evidencing more than 50%
of the Voting Rights (and with prior written notice to the Rating Agencies) for
the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating
any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights
of the Holders of Notes; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such amendment may not, without
the consent of all of the Noteholders (i) increase or reduce in any manner the
amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, collections of payments on the
Contracts or distributions that are required to be made for the benefit of such
Noteholders, (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Voting Rights which are
required to consent to any such amendment, or (iii) modify this Section 13.02.
The Servicer shall deliver copies of any amendment to this Agreement to each of
the Rating Agencies and each Noteholder.
13.03 WAIVERS. No failure or delay on the part of the
Transferor, the Issuer or the Trustee 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
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy.
13.04 NOTICES. All communications and notices pursuant hereto
to any party shall be in writing or by telegraph, telex or telecopy and
addressed or delivered to it at its address (or in case of telex or telecopy, at
its telex or telecopy number at such address) as follows or at such other
address as may be designated by it by notice to the other party and, if mailed

hereunder, under the Contracts, under the applicable Transaction Documents or as
required by law.
13.09 HEADINGS AND CROSS-REFERENCES. The various headings in
this Agreement are included for convenience only and shall not affect the

Agreement to Section names or numbers are to such Sections of this Agreement.

irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any New York State or Federal court
sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York over any suit,
action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement. Each of the
parties hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any
objection which it may have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action
or proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such suit, action
or proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in any inconvenient
forum. Each of the parties hereto agrees that the final judgment in any such
suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court shall be conclusive and
binding upon each of the parties hereto and may be enforced by the courts of New

upon such judgment; PROVIDED that service of process is effected upon it as
permitted by law; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that each of the parties hereto does not
waive, and the foregoing provisions of this sentence shall not constitute or be
deemed to constitute a waiver of, (i) any right to appeal any such judgment, to
seek any stay or otherwise to seek reconsideration or review of any such
judgment or (ii) any stay of execution or levy pending an appeal from, or a
suit, action or proceeding for reconsideration or review of, any such judgment.
13.12 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in two or
more counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of
which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and
the same instrument.
