termination, and any Recoveries received with respect thereto, but
excluding any Excluded Amounts;
(ii) the Equipment related to such Contracts,

(c) The Originator and the Trust Depositor acknowledge that
the representations and warranties of the Originator in Section 3.01, 3.02,
3.03, 3.04 and 3.05 will run to and be for the benefit of the Trust and the
Trustees and the Trust and the Trustees may enforce directly without joinder of
the Trust Depositor, the repurchase obligations of the Originator with respect
to breaches of such representations and warranties as set forth herein and in
Section 5.01.
(d) The sale, transfer, assignment, set-over and conveyance of

3
7
the Originator's or the Trust Depositor's estate in the event of a filing of a

may be, a perfected first priority security interest in such Contract Assets or
Trust Assets respectively and this Agreement shall constitute a security
agreement under applicable law, securing the repayment of the purchase price
paid hereunder and the obligations and/or interests represented by the
Securities, in the order and priorities, and subject to the other terms and
conditions of, this Agreement, the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, the
Indenture and the Trust Agreement, together with such other obligations or
interests as may arise hereunder and thereunder in favor of the parties hereto

the mere granting of a security interest to secure a borrowing, the Trust
Depositor may, to secure the Trust Depositor's own borrowing under this
Agreement (to the extent that the transfer of the Contract Assets thereunder is
deemed to be a mere granting of a security interest to secure a borrowing)

Trust Depositor by the Originator and with respect to which the Trust Depositor
has not released its security interest at the time of such pledge and
assignment, and (2) all proceeds thereof. Such repledge and reassignment may be
made by the Trust Depositor with or without a repledge and reassignment by the
Trust Depositor of its rights under any agreement with the Originator, and
without further notice to or acknowledgment from the Originator. The Originator
waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all claims, causes of action
and remedies, whether legal or equitable (including any right of setoff),
against the Trust Depositor or any assignee of the Trust Depositor relating to
such action by the Trust Depositor in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
The Originator makes, and upon execution of each Subsequent
Purchase Agreement is deemed to make, the following representations and
warranties, on which the Trust Depositor will rely in conveying the Contract
Assets on the Closing Date (and on any Subsequent Transfer Date) to the Trust,
and on which the Trust, the Noteholders and Certificateholder will rely. The
Trust Depositor acknowledges that such representations and warranties are being
made by the Originator for the benefit of the Trust.
Such representations and warranties speak as of the execution

Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Originator shall not be deemed to
be remaking any of the representations set forth in Section 3.03 or 3.05 on a
Subsequent Transfer Date with respect to the Substitute Contracts, as such
representations relate solely to the composition of the Initial Contracts
conveyed on the Closing Date, provided, that any inaccurate representation as to
concentrations contained in any Addition Notice shall be subject to the same
remedies hereunder as if such representation were made under Section 3.05 on the
Closing Date with respect to an Initial Contract.

qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good
standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the business
transacted by it or properties owned or leased by it requires such
qualification and in which the failure so to qualify would have a
material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, or
condition (financial or otherwise) of the Originator. The Originator is
properly licensed in each jurisdiction to the extent required by the
laws of such jurisdiction in order to originate, and (if the Originator
is to be the Servicer) service the Contracts in accordance with the

Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Originator
is a party, and has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize
the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents to which the Originator is a party. This
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Originator
is a party constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Originator enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as
enforcement of such terms may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally
and by the availability of equitable remedies.
(c) NO CONSENT REQUIRED. The Originator is not
required to obtain the consent of any other party or any consent,
license, approval or authorization from, or registration or declaration
with, any governmental authority, bureau or agency in connection with
the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of
this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the
Originator is a party.
(d) NO VIOLATIONS. The Originator's execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents to which the Originator is a party will not violate any
provision of any existing law or regulation or any order or decree of
any court or the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the
Originator, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or
both) a material breach of any mortgage, indenture, contract or other
agreement to which the Originator is a party or by which the Originator
or any of the Originator's properties may be bound.
(e) LITIGATION. No litigation or administrative
proceeding of or before any court, tribunal or governmental body is
currently pending, or to the knowledge of the Originator threatened,
against the Originator or any of its respective properties or with
respect to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which
the Originator is a party which, if adversely determined, would in the
opinion of the Originator have a material adverse effect on the
business, properties, assets or condition (financial or other) of the
Originator or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any
other Transaction Document to which the Originator is a party.
(f) TITLE. If a Contract is a lease of Equipment
subject to certificate of title statutory requirements, the title is
held either in the name of the lessee and the certificate of title
indicates the Originator as lienholder or in the name of the Originator
as Lessor.
(g) PLACE OF BUSINESS; NO CHANGES; NO TRADE NAMES.
The Originator's chief executive office (within the meaning of Article
9 of the UCC) is as set forth in Section 8.03 below. The Originator has
not changed its name as
9
13
set forth herein, whether by amendment of its Certificate of
Incorporation, by reorganization or otherwise, within the five years
preceding the Closing Date, and has not changed the location of its
chief executive office, within the four months preceding the Closing
Date (or Subsequent Transfer Date, as applicable, except in accordance
with the requirements of Section 4.03). The legal name of the
Originator is as set forth in this Agreement and, within the five years
preceding the Closing Date, the Originator has not used, and currently
does not use, any trade names, fictitious names, assumed names, or
"doing business as" names.
(h) NO BULK SALES. The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement by the Originator does not require
compliance with any "bulk sales" laws by the Originator.
(i) SOLVENCY. The Originator on each date of and,
after giving effect to the transfer of the Contracts and any Substitute
Contracts, as the case may be, to the Trust Depositor, is Solvent.
(j) USE OF PROCEEDS. No proceeds of the sale of any
Initial Contract or Substitute Contract hereunder received by the
Originator will be used by the Originator to purchase or carry any
"margin stock" as such term is defined in Regulation G, T, U or X of
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
(k) SELECTION PROCEDURES. No selection procedures
determined by the Originator to be materially adverse to the interests
of the Trust Depositor were utilized by the Originator in selecting the
Contracts to be sold, assigned, transferred, set-over and otherwise
conveyed hereunder.
(l) NOT AN INVESTMENT COMPANY. The Originator is not
an "investment company" within the meaning of the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (or the Originator is exempt from all
provisions of such Act).
(m) TAXES. To the best of the Originator's knowledge,
(i) the Originator has filed all tax returns required to be filed in
the normal course of its business and has paid or made adequate
provisions for the payment of all taxes, assessments and other
governmental charges due from the Originator or is contesting any such
tax, assessment or other governmental charge in good faith through
appropriate proceedings, (ii) no tax lien has been filed with respect
thereto, and (iii) no claim is being asserted with respect to any such
tax, fee or other charge.
10
14
(n) SALE TREATMENT. The Originator has treated the
transfer of Contract Assets to the Trust Depositor for all purposes
(including financial accounting purposes) as a sale and purchase on all
of its relevant books, records, financial statements and other
applicable documents, except to the extent applicable tax laws require
otherwise.
(o) MARKING OF FILES. The Originator will have, at
its own expense, prior to the close of business on the Closing Date,
(i) indicated in its Computer Records that ownership of the Contracts
transferred by it, on behalf of the Trust Depositor, to the Trust and
identified on the List of Contracts have been sold to the Trust
Depositor and (ii) affixed to the original copy of each Contract the
following legend (including any instrument constituting part of chattel
paper):
This Contract/Note is subject to a security interest
granted to The Bank of New York (Delaware), as Owner
Trustee for the ORIX Credit Alliance Receivables
Trust 1999-A. UCC-1 Financing Statements covering
this Contract/Note have been filed with the Secretary
of State of the State of New Jersey. Such lien will
be released only in connection with appropriate
filings in such offices. Consequently, potential
purchasers of this Contract/Note must refer to such
filings to determine whether such lien has been
released.
(p) NO LIENS. The Originator owns each Contract Asset
to be sold by it hereunder free and clear of any Liens except as
provided herein, and upon the sale, transfer or assignment hereunder,
the Trust Depositor shall (i) become the owner of each Contract Asset
then existing or thereafter arising, free and clear of any Lien except
as provided herein or (ii) acquire a first priority perfected security
interest in such Contract Asset. No effective financing statement or
other instrument similar in effect covering any Contract Asset or the
collections with respect thereto shall at any time be on file in any
recording office except such as may be filed in favor of the Trust
Depositor relating to this Agreement or otherwise as provided under the
Transfer and Servicing Agreement.
(q) VALUE GIVEN. The cash payments received by the
Originator in respect of the purchase price of each Contract sold
hereunder constitutes reasonably equivalent value in consideration for
the transfer to the Trust Depositor of such Contract under this
Agreement, such transfer was not made for or on account of an
antecedent debt owed by the Originator to the Trust
11
15
Depositor, and such transfer was not and is not voidable or subject to
avoidance under any Insolvency Law.
(r) SECURITY INTEREST. The Originator has granted a
security interest (as defined in the UCC) to the Trust Depositor in the
Contract Assets, which is enforceable in accordance with applicable law
upon execution and delivery of this Agreement. Upon the filing of UCC-1
financing statements naming the Trust Depositor as secured party and
the Originator as debtor, the Trust Depositor shall have a first
priority perfected security interest in the Contract Assets (except for
any Permitted Liens). All filings (including, without limitation, such
UCC filings) as are necessary in any jurisdiction to perfect the
interest of the Trust Depositor in the Contract Assets have been made.
(s) YEAR 2000 STATUS. (i) Any reprogramming required
to permit the proper functioning during and following the year 2000 of
the Servicer's computer systems will have been completed prior to
January 1, 2000 and (ii) the information set forth in the Prospectus

Transfer Date) is true, complete and correct as of the applicable
Cutoff Date.
(b) ELIGIBLE CONTRACT. Such Contract satisfies the
criteria for the definition of Eligible Contract set forth in the
Transfer and Sale Agreement as of the date of its conveyance hereunder.

Lease is a "true lease" as distinguished from a financing lease.
12

any fraud or material misrepresentation by the Originator or, to the
best of the Originator's knowledge, on the part of the Obligor or the

portion of the Pool Balance of the Contracts Pool consists of Contracts
secured by Equipment constituting fixtures.

SECTION 3.06. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES REGARDING THE
TRUST DEPOSITOR. By its execution of this Agreement and each Subsequent Purchase
Agreement, the Trust Depositor represents and warrants to the Originator that:
(a) ORGANIZATION AND GOOD STANDING. The Trust
Depositor is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of Delaware and has the corporate power to own
its assets and to transact the business in which it is currently
engaged. The Trust Depositor is duly qualified to do business as a
foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in
which the character of the business transacted by it or properties
owned or leased by it requires such qualification and in which the
failure so to qualify would have
13
17
a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, or
condition (financial or other) of the Trust Depositor or the Trust.
(b) AUTHORIZATION; VALID SALE; BINDING OBLIGATIONS.
The Trust Depositor has the power and authority to make, execute,
deliver and perform this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents
to which it is a party and all of the transactions contemplated under
this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a
party, and to create the Trust and cause it to make, execute, deliver
and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents to which it is a party and has taken all
necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to
which it is a party and to cause the Trust to be created. The Transfer
and Servicing Agreement and the related Subsequent Transfer Agreement,
if any, shall effect a valid sale, transfer and assignment of the Trust
Assets, enforceable against the Trust Depositor and creditors of and
purchasers from the Trust Depositor. This Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents to which the Trust Depositor is a party
constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Trust
Depositor enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as
enforcement of such terms may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally
and by the availability of equitable remedies.
(c) NO CONSENT REQUIRED. The Trust Depositor is not
required to obtain the consent of any other party or any consent,
license, approval or authorization from, or registration or declaration
with, any Governmental Authority in connection with the execution,
delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or
the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party.
(d) NO VIOLATIONS. The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to
which it is a party by the Trust Depositor, and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, will not violate any
Requirement of Law applicable to the Trust Depositor, or constitute a
material breach of any mortgage, indenture, contract or other agreement
to which the Trust Depositor is a party or by which the Trust Depositor
or any of the Trust Depositor's properties may be bound, or result in
the creation or imposition of any security interest, lien, charge,
pledge, preference, equity or encumbrance of any kind upon any of its
properties pursuant to the terms of any such mortgage, indenture,
contract or other agreement, other than as contemplated by the
Transaction Documents.
14
18
(e) LITIGATION. No litigation or administrative
proceeding of or before any court, tribunal or governmental body is
currently pending, or to the knowledge of the Trust Depositor
threatened, against the Trust Depositor or any of its properties or
with respect to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents to
which it is a party or the Securities (1) which, if adversely
determined, would in the reasonable judgment of the Trust Depositor
have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets or
condition (financial or otherwise) of the Trust Depositor or the Trust
or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other
Transaction Documents to which the Trust Depositor is a party or (2)
seeking to adversely affect the federal income tax or other federal,
state or local tax attributes of the Certificate or Notes.
(f) BULK SALES. The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement do not require compliance with any "bulk
sales" laws by the Trust Depositor.
(g) SOLVENCY. The Trust Depositor, at the time of and
after giving effect to each conveyance of Trust Assets under the
Transfer and Servicing Agreement, is Solvent on and as of the date
thereof.
(h) TAXES. The Trust Depositor has filed or caused to
be filed all tax returns which, to its knowledge, are required to be
filed and has put all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns
or on any assessments made against it or any of its property and all
other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property
by any Governmental Authority (other than any amount of tax due, the
validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
provided on the books of the Trust Depositor); no tax lien has been
filed and, to the Trust Depositor's knowledge, no claim is being
asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge.
(i) PLACE OF BUSINESS; NO CHANGES. The Trust
Depositor's sole place of business (within the meaning of Article 9 of
the UCC) is as set forth in Section 8.03 below. The Trust Depositor has
not changed its name, whether by amendment of its Certificate of
Incorporation, by reorganization or otherwise, and has not changed the
location of its place of business, within the four months preceding the
Closing Date.
(j) NOT AN INVESTMENT COMPANY. The Trust Depositor is
not an "investment company" within the meaning of the Investment
Company Act of
15
19
1940, as amended (or the Trust Depositor is exempt from all provisions
of such Act).
(k) SALE TREATMENT. The Trust Depositor has treated
the transfer of Contract Assets to the Trust Depositor for all purposes
(including financial accounting purposes) as a sale and purchase on all
of its relevant books, records, financial statements and other
applicable documents, except to the extent applicable tax laws require
otherwise.
Such representations speak as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement
and as of the Closing Date in the case of the Initial Contracts, and as of the
applicable Subsequent Transfer Date in the case of the Substitute Contracts, but
shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the Contracts to the Trust.

interest of the Trust Depositor in, to and under the Contracts in the Contracts
Pool and the related Equipment, against all claims of third parties; provided,

Notes) and costs and expenses in defending against the same.
The Originator shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
Trust Depositor from and against any loss, liability or expense incurred by

REMEDIES UPON MISREPRESENTATION; REPURCHASE OPTION
SECTION 6.01. REPURCHASES OF, OR SUBSTITUTION FOR, CONTRACTS
FOR BREACH OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Upon a discovery by the Servicer,
the Trust Depositor or the Trustees of a breach of a representation or warranty
of the Originator as set forth in Section 3.01, Section 3.02, Section 3.03,
Section 3.04, and Section 3.05 or as made or deemed made in any Addition Notice
or any Subsequent Purchase Agreement relating to Substitute Contracts that
materially adversely affects the Trust's interest in such Contract (without
regard to the benefits of the Reserve Fund) (an "Ineligible Contract"), or of an
inaccuracy with respect to the representations as to concentrations of the
Initial Contracts made under Section 3.05, the party discovering the breach
shall give prompt written notice to the other parties (and the Servicer shall,
pursuant to Section 11.01 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, with respect
to an inaccuracy concerning concentrations, select one or more Contracts,
without employing adverse selection, to be the related Excess Contract for
purposes of this Section), provided, that the Trustees shall have no duty or
obligation to inquire or to investigate the breach by the Originator of any of
such representations or warranties. The Originator shall repurchase each such
Ineligible Contract or Excess Contract, at a repurchase price equal to the
Transfer Deposit Amount, not later than the next succeeding Determination Date
following the date the Originator becomes aware of, or receives written notice
from any Trustee, the Servicer or
19
23
the Trust Depositor of, any such breach or inaccuracy and which breach or
inaccuracy has not otherwise been cured; provided, however, that if the
Originator is able to effect a substitution for any such Ineligible Contract or
Excess Contract in compliance with Section 2.04, the Originator may, in lieu of
repurchasing such Contract, effect a substitution for such affected Contract
with a Substitute Contract not later than the date a repurchase of such affected
Contract would be required hereunder, and provided further that with respect to
a breach of representation or warranty relating to the Contracts in the
aggregate and not to any particular Contract the Originator may select Contracts
(without adverse selection) to repurchase (or substitute for) such that had such
Contracts not been included as part of the Trust Assets (and, in the case of a
substitution, had such Substitute Contract been included as part of the Trust
Assets instead of the selected Contract) there would have been no breach of such
representation or warranty. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, the obligation of the Originator described in this Section 6.01 shall
not (a) terminate or be deemed released by any party hereto upon a Servicer
Transfer pursuant to Article VIII of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement or (b)
include any obligation to make payment on account of a breach of a Contract by
an Obligor subsequent to the date on which such Contract was transferred to the
Trust. The repurchase obligation described in this Section 6.01 is in no way to
be satisfied with monies in the Reserve Fund.
SECTION 6.02. REASSIGNMENT OF REPURCHASED OR SUBSTITUTED
CONTRACTS. Upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee for deposit in the Collection
Account of the amounts described in Section 6.01 or Section 6.03 (or upon the
Subsequent Transfer Date related to a Substitute Contract described in Section
6.01), and upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer in the form
attached as Exhibit F to the Transfer and Sale Agreement, the Indenture Trustee
is required under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement to assign to the Trust
Depositor and the Trust Depositor shall assign to the Originator all of the
Trust's (or Trust Depositor's, as applicable) right, title and interest in the
repurchased or substituted Contract and related Trust Assets without recourse,
representation or warranty. Such reassigned Contract shall no longer thereafter
be included in any calculations of Principal Balances required to be made
hereunder or otherwise be deemed a part of the Trust.
SECTION 6.03. ORIGINATOR'S REPURCHASE OPTION. On written
notice to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee at least 20 days prior to
a Distribution Date, and provided that the Pool Balance of all Contracts in the
Contracts Pool is then less than 10% of the Pool Balance of such Contracts as of
the Initial Cutoff Date, the Originator, through the Trust Depositor, may (but
is not required to) repurchase from the Trust Depositor (and the Trust Depositor
concurrently from the Trust) on that Distribution Date all outstanding Contracts
at a price equal to the aggregate outstanding Principal Amount of the Securities
(other than the Certificates) and accrued and unpaid interest thereon as of the
current Distribution Date thereon, the amount of outstanding Servicer Advances
(to the extent not effectively waived and released by the Servicer) as well as
accrued and unpaid monthly Servicing Fees and any unpaid fees, expenses or other
payments owed to
20
24
the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture to the date of such repurchase. Such
price is to be deposited in the Collection Account not later than one Business
Day before such Distribution Date, against the Owner Trustee's and Indenture
Trustee's and Trust Depositor's release of the Contracts and the Contract Files
to the Originator.
ARTICLE SEVEN
ORIGINATOR INDEMNITIES
SECTION 7.01. ORIGINATOR'S INDEMNIFICATION. The Originator
will defend and indemnify the Trust Depositor, the Trust, the Trustees, any
agents of the Trustees and the Certificateholder and Noteholders (any of which,
an "Indemnified Party") against any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages,
claims and liabilities, joint or several, including reasonable fees and expenses
of counsel and expenses of litigation (collectively, "Costs") arising out of or
resulting from (i) this Agreement or the use, ownership or operation of any
Equipment by the Originator or the Servicer or any Affiliate of either, (ii) any
representation or warranty or covenant made by the Originator in this Agreement
being untrue or incorrect (subject to the limitations described in the preamble
to Article III of this Agreement), and (iii) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus or in any
amendment thereto or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the
extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement was made in
conformity with information furnished to Trust Depositor by the Originator
specifically for use therein; provided, however, that the Originator shall not
be required to so indemnify any such Indemnified Party for such Costs to the
extent that such Cost shall be due to or arise from the willful misfeasance, bad
faith or negligence of such Indemnified Party, or the failure of such
Indemnified Party to comply with any express undertaking, agreement or covenant
made by such Indemnified Party in a Transaction Document to which it is a party
or the breach subsequent to the Closing Date by an Obligor under a Contract.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the obligation of the
Originator under this Section 7.01 shall not terminate upon a Servicer Transfer
pursuant to Article VIII of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement and shall
survive any termination of that agreement or this Agreement.
SECTION 7.02. LIABILITIES TO OBLIGORS. No obligation or
liability to any Obligor under any of the Contracts is intended to be assumed by
the Trustees, the Trust, the Noteholders or the Certificateholder under or as a
result of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
SECTION 7.03. TAX INDEMNIFICATION.
21
25
(a) The Originator agrees to pay, and to indemnify,
defend and hold harmless the Trust Depositor, the Trust, the Trustees,
the Noteholders or the Certificateholder from, any taxes which may at
any time be asserted with respect to, and as of the date of, the
transfer of the Contracts to the Trust Depositor and the transfer by
the Trust Depositor of the Contracts to the Trust and the further
pledge by the Trust to the Indenture Trustee, including, without
limitation, any sales, gross receipts, general corporation, personal
property, privilege or license taxes (but not including any federal,
state or other taxes arising out of the creation of the Trust and the
issuance of the Notes and Certificates) and costs, expenses and
reasonable counsel fees in defending against the same, whether arising
by reason of the acts to be performed by the Originator or the Servicer
under this Agreement or imposed against the Trust, a Noteholder, a
Certificateholder or otherwise. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, the obligation of the Originator under this Section
7.03 shall not terminate upon a Servicer Transfer pursuant to Article
VIII of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement and shall survive any
termination of this Agreement.
(b) The Originator agrees to pay and to indemnify,
defend and hold harmless the Trust and the Trustees, on an after-tax
basis (as hereinafter defined), from any state or local personal
property taxes, gross rent taxes, leasehold taxes or similar taxes
which may at any time be asserted with respect to the ownership of the
Contracts (including security interests therein) and the receipt of
rentals therefrom by the Trust, and costs, expenses and reasonable
counsel fees in defending against the same, excluding, however, taxes
based upon or measured by gross or net income or receipts (other than
taxes imposed specifically with respect to rentals). As used in this
Section, the term "after-tax basis" shall mean, with respect to any
payment to be received by an indemnified person, that the amount to be
paid by the Originator shall be equal to the sum of (i) the amount to
be received without regard to this sentence, plus (ii) any additional
amount that may be required so that after reduction by all taxes
imposed under any federal, state and local law, and taking into account
any current credits or deductions arising therefrom, resulting either
from the receipt of the payments described in both clauses (i) and (ii)
hereof, such sum shall be equal to the amount described in clause (i)
above.
SECTION 7.04. ADJUSTMENTS. The Originator agrees that, with
respect to each Contract (i) which provides for a Prepayment Amount less than
the amount calculated in accordance with the definition thereof and (ii) as to
which the related Vendor has not agreed to indemnify the Trust Depositor or any
assignee of the Trust Depositor in an amount at least equal to the excess of the
"Prepayment Amount" as calculated in accordance with the definition thereof over
the amount otherwise payable upon prepayment of
22
26
such Contract, the Originator shall indemnify the Trust Depositor or the Trust
as assignee thereof, in an amount equal to the amount specified in the foregoing
clause (ii).
The Originator hereby further agrees that if any real property
collateral securing any Contract described in Section 3.02(e) hereof becomes the
subject of any claims, proceedings, liens or encumbrances with respect to any
material violation or claimed material violation of any federal or state
environmental laws or regulations, such Contract shall for all purposes
hereunder be, at and following the time of discovery by the Originator, the
Trust Depositor, the Servicer or any Trustee of such fact, deemed an Ineligible
Contract subject to the same remedial and recourse provisions hereunder as other
Contracts determined to be Ineligible Contracts hereunder.
SECTION 7.05. OPERATION OF INDEMNITIES. Indemnification under
this Article VII shall include, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses
of counsel and expenses of litigation. If the Originator has made any indemnity
payments to the Trust Depositor or the Trustees pursuant to this Article VII and
the Trust Depositor or the Trustees thereafter collects any of such amounts from
others, the Trust Depositor or the Trustees will repay such amounts collected to
the Originator, except that any payments received by the Trust Depositor or the
Trustees from an insurance provider as a result of the events under which the
Originator's indemnity payments arose shall be repaid prior to any repayment of
the Originator's indemnity payment.
