amend the Secured Loan Agreement and hereby agree that the Secured Loan Agreement is hereby
amended; and
NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
SECTION 1. Definitions.
(a) Whenever
used in this Amendment, capitalized terms used and not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in Appendix A to the Secured Loan Agreement.
(b) Any
term that relates to a document or a statute, rule, or regulation includes any
amendments, modifications, supplements, or any other changes that may have occurred since the
document, statute, rule, or regulation came into being, including changes that occur after the
date of this Amendment.
SECTION 2. Amendments. The parties hereto hereby agree, pursuant to Section 14.04
of the Secured Loan Agreement, to amend the Secured Loan Agreement as follows:
(a) The definition of Senior Leverage Ratio in Appendix A shall be struck in its

“Combined Recourse Debt” means all of LEAF’s debts and liabilities, but excluding third party
accounts payable, accrued expenses, non-recourse debt and intercompany obligations, and “Adjusted
Partner’s Capital” means partner’s capital (in accordance with GAAP with no adjustment for other

Section 7.02(jj)), “Due to General Partner” means amounts, as set forth in the financial statements
of LEAF, that are due to LEAF Financial Corporation and its affiliates, as general partner of LEAF,
for management fees and expenses due for servicing the Securitized Portfolio in addition to amounts
LEAF Financial Corporation has paid for property taxes due on the Securitized Portfolio that have
been billed to Customers.

with:
“(jj) As of the last day of each fiscal quarter commencing December 31, 2006, LEAF shall
maintain “Adjusted Partner’s Capital” of no less than 75.00% of “partner’s equity” (as reflected
in its financial statements) as of the last day of its offering period pursuant to its Prospectus

Event or Event of Default) occur due to this Amendment becoming effective, (b) Borrower, LEAF and
Servicer each has the power and authority to execute and deliver this Amendment and has taken or
