5. SUBORDINATION. Buyer hereby agrees that its interest in the
Equipment and the Leases will be subject and subordinate in all respects to the
Liens and the rights of the Lessees under the Leases. Effective upon delivery of
the Xxxx of Sale, Seller hereby assigns to Buyer, and Buyer hereby assumes and
agrees to perform, all obligations of Seller under the Liens and the debts
secured thereby and all documents or instruments related thereto. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer hereby agrees (effective upon
the passage of title) not to take any action or omit to take any action which
would cause a default or breach (i) under any of the Leases or (ii) under any
documents related to any of the Liens or any of the debts secured thereby.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that either party
receives any payment under a Funded Lease which belongs to a Lender, such party
will immediately forward such payment to such Lender. Seller and Buyer each
hereby agrees to exert commercially reasonable efforts (i) to promptly obtain
the consents of the Lenders to the transactions described herein and (ii) to
promptly obtain the releases by the Lenders of the Seller from any of Seller's
obligations related to the Liens (or any debts secured thereby), including

therewith. Seller and Buyer shall equally bear and promptly pay to the Lenders
any reasonable fees charged by the Lenders in connection with obtaining such
consents. Additionally, Seller and Buyer each hereby agrees to exert
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain acknowledgements from the Lessees of
the transactions described herein (in substantially the form annexed hereto as
Exhibits C-1, C-2 and D), including (without limitation) to promptly execute and
deliver to the Lessees any documents or instruments reasonably requested by any
of the Lessees.

exists thereunder by the Lessees, (ii) the Equipment is located at the places

respect to the Leases except as set forth on the Schedule.
(b) Seller owns the Equipment and the Leases free and clear of any and
all leases, liens, claims and encumbrances other than the Liens and the rights
of the Lessees under the Leases. By the delivery of the Xxxx of Sale to Buyer
and upon the execution and delivery of the Assignment

deliver this Agreement, the Xxxx of Sale, the Assignment Agreement and all other
instruments and documents executed and delivered and/or received, or to be

the Leases to Buyer and the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder.
(This Agreement, the Xxxx of Sale, the Assignment Agreement and all such other
instruments and documents are hereinafter referred to collectively as the

which brings into question the validity of, or might in any way impair, the
execution, delivery or performance by Seller of any Document. No approval of, or
consent from, any governmental authority is required for the execution,
delivery, or performance by Seller of any Document.
(e) The execution and delivery of the Documents by Seller and the
performance by it of its obligations thereunder, including, without limitation,
the conveyance of the Equipment and the Lease and the acceptance of the purchase
price in exchange therefor, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
and/or other action of Seller and do not contravene, violate or conflict with
(i) any provision of Seller's articles of incorporation, by-laws or other
organizational documents or (ii) any law or any order, writ, injunction, decree,
rule or regulation of any court, administrative agency or any other governmental
authority (applicable to Seller or its assets).
(f) Except as set forth in the Schedule or in the Documents, the

both) in a breach of or constitute a default or require any consent under or

the Lease pursuant to the terms of any credit agreement, indenture, mortgage,
purchase agreement, deed of trust, security agreement, lease, guarantee or other
instrument or agreement to which Seller is a party or by which Seller may be
bound or to which it may be subject (except that it is necessary to obtain the
consents of the Lenders with respect to the Funded Leases and the Equipment
covered thereby). Without limiting the foregoing and except as set forth on the
Schedule, Seller is not subject to any restriction or agreement which, with or
without the giving of notice, the passage of time or both, prohibits or would be
violated by, the execution, delivery and consummation of the Documents and the
transactions referred to therein (except that it is necessary to obtain the
consents of the Lenders with respect to the Funded Leases and the Equipment
covered thereby).
(g) The Documents constitute, or when executed and delivered will
constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligations of Seller enforceable
against Seller in accordance with their respective terms, subject, however, to
laws of general application affecting creditors' rights and to general
principles of equity.
(h) All sales, use, property, value added or other taxes, licenses,
tolls, inspection or other fees, bonds, permits or certificates which were or

photocopies of relevant equipment schedules, acceptance certificates, loan and
security agreements, promissory notes and each and every other material document
delivered to or by Seller in connection with the purchase of the relevant
Equipment or the leasing of the relevant Equipment or creating or relating to

executed copies of relevant equipment schedules, Seller shall deliver same to
Buyer in lieu of photocopies). With respect to the Unfunded Leases, (1) Seller
has delivered to Buyer true and correct certified photocopies of the relevant
master leases, and true and correct photocopies of relevant equipment schedules,
acceptance certificates and each and every other material document delivered in

presently existing leases (not sold under this Agreement) between Seller and any
of the Lessees and (2) Seller may lease to Cendant Operations Inc. any upgrade
equipment (either as an attachment or as a replacement) to any of the equipment
leased under Equipment Schedule Nos. 5 and 13 with Cendant Operations Inc.
(m) EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 6.1, THE
ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT OR IN THE XXXX OF SALE, SELLER MAKES NO WARRANTIES OR
REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, CONCERNING THE

SERVICING OR ADJUSTMENTS THERETO.
6.2 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE BUYER. The Buyer represents and
warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, the Seller as follows:
(a) Buyer is a corporation duly and validly organized and existing in good

authority to own its properties and carry on its business where such properties
are located and such business is conducted.
(b) Buyer has the power and authority to enter into, execute and deliver the
Documents and to carry out the transactions contemplated thereunder.
(c) The execution and delivery of the Documents by Buyer, and the performance of
its obligations thereunder, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
and/or other action of Buyer and do not contravene, violate or conflict with (i)
any provision of Buyer's certificate of incorporation, by-laws or other
organizational documents, or (ii) any law or any order, writ, injunction,
decree, rule or regulation of any court, administrative agency or any other
governmental authority (applicable to Buyer or its assets). There is no action,
suit or proceeding pending against Buyer before or by any court, administrative
agency of other governmental authority which brings into question the validity

of any Document. No approval of, or consent from, any governmental authority is
required for the execution, delivery or performance by Buyer of any Document.
(d) The execution and delivery of the Documents by Buyer, and the performance by
Buyer of its obligations thereunder, do not conflict with and are not
inconsistent with, and will not result (with or without the giving of notice or
passage of time or both) in a breach of or constitute a default or require any
consent under or result in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon
the Equipment or the Leases pursuant to the terms of any credit agreement,
indenture, mortgage, purchase agreement, deed of trust, security agreement,
lease, guarantee or other instrument or agreement to which Buyer is a party or
by which Buyer may be bound or to which it may be subject. Without limiting the
foregoing, Buyer is not subject to any restriction or agreement which, with or
without the giving of notice, the passage of time or both, prohibits or would be
violated by, the execution, delivery and consummation of the Documents and the
transactions referred to therein.
(e) The Documents constitute, or when executed and delivered will constitute,
the legal, valid and binding obligations of Buyer enforceable in accordance with
their respective terms, subject, however, to laws of general application
affecting creditors' rights and to general principles of equity.
7. INDEMNIFICATION. Each of Seller and Buyer will indemnify the other and
protect, defend and hold it harmless from and against any and all loss, cost,
damage, injury or expense, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees and court costs, wheresoever and howsoever arising, which the indemnified
party or its subsidiaries or stockholders, or any of its, or their,
5
directors, officers, agents, employees, stockholders, or partners, may incur by
reason of any breach or untruthfulness by the indemnifying party of any of its
representations, covenants, agreements, warranties or obligations set forth in
any of the Documents.
8. TAXES. Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid, as the case may be, when due, all
sales, franchise, use, property or other taxes (other than taxes based on the
net income of Seller), licenses, tolls, inspection or other fees, bonds, permits
or certificates now or hereafter imposed by or required to be paid or obtained
to or from any jurisdiction in connection with the sale of the Equipment by
Seller to Buyer.
9. SPECIAL INDEMNITY. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement or any Document, Seller's maximum aggregate liability under this
Section 9 shall not exceed $160,000 in the aggregate (the "Maximum Aggregate
Liability Amount"), subject to reduction as hereinafter set forth. It is
acknowledged that the parties will be closing the transactions contemplated
hereunder without obtaining (i) the prior acknowledgements of the Lessees (the
"Lessee Acknowledgements") to the transfer of the Leases and the Equipment and
(ii) the prior consents or acknowledgements (as applicable) of the Lenders to
the transfer of the Equipment and the Leases (such consents or acknowledgements,
as applicable, are collectively called the "Lender Consents"). In order to
induce Buyer to close the contemplated transactions without obtaining, prior to
the Closing Date, the Lessee Acknowledgements and the Lender Consents, Seller
has agreed to make this indemnity in this Section 9. Subject to the Maximum
Aggregate Liability Amount, Seller agrees to indemnify Buyer for any losses
which Buyer may suffer as a result of not obtaining, prior to the Closing Date,
(i) with respect to the Applicable Funded Leases (as hereinafter defined), the
Lessee Acknowledgements related thereto or the Lender Consents related thereto
and (ii) with respect to the Unfunded Leases, the Lessee Acknowledgments related
thereto. With respect to any Applicable Funded Lease, if Buyer shall receive the
Lessee Acknowledgement related thereto and the Lender Consent related thereto,
the Maximum Liability Aggregate Amount shall be reduced by the "Reduction
Amount" set forth on the Schedule opposite such Applicable Funded Lease. Such
reduction may occur from time to time as such Lessee Acknowledgments and Lender
Consents are obtained. With respect to any Unfunded Lease, if Buyer shall
receive the Lessee Acknowledgement related thereto, the Maximum Aggregate
Liability Amount shall also be reduced by the "Reduction Amount" set forth on
the Schedule opposite such Unfunded Lease. Such reduction may occur from time to
time as such Lessee Acknowledgements are obtained. The term "Applicable Funded
Lease" means any Funded Lease which does not give the Lessee thereunder the
option or the right to purchase the related Equipment for $1.00 (or less) at the
expiration of the lease term thereof. The Seller's obligations under this
Section are conditioned upon Buyer exercising commercially reasonable efforts to
promptly obtain the Lessee Acknowledgments and the Lender Consents, including
(without limitation) executing such documents or instruments as any Lessee or
Lender may reasonably request in connection therewith, and Buyer and Seller
agree to exert such efforts (and execute such documents and instruments).
Without limiting the foregoing, Seller agrees to contact the Lessees and the
Lenders by telephone if the Lessee acknowledgements and the Lender
Acknowledgements are not obtained within 2 weeks from the Closing Date.
10. MISCELLANEOUS.
10.1 SURVIVAL. The covenants, agreements, indemnities, representations and
warranties made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of the Documents
and the consummation of the transactions described therein.
6
10.2 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The rights and obligations of the parties hereunder
shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding and enforceable upon, the
respective successors and assigns of either party. However, notwithstanding the
foregoing, neither party may assign its rights or obligations under any of the
Documents without the consent of the other party.

other hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be deemed given on the
earlier of the same is (i) personally delivered with receipt acknowledged, or

for which it is intended at the address set forth at the head of this Agreement.

thereof.

constitute one and the same agreement.
10.7 AMENDMENTS. This Agreement may be amended or varied only by a document, in
writing, of even or subsequent date hereof, executed by Buyer and Seller.
10.8 NO BROKERAGE FEES. No third party brokerage fees are payable in connection
with the transaction set forth herein.

all such further instruments and documents, and promptly take such further
action, as may reasonably be requested by the other party in order to fully
carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of the Documents and the
transactions referred to therein including, without limitation, any document or
instrument requested by any Lessee or Lender.
10.10 CANCELLATION. If the Closing Date shall not have occurred by May __, 2000,
this Agreement and any other Documents shall thereupon be automatically
cancelled without further liability (except that the defaulting or breaching
party shall be liable to the other party for damages).
