This LOAN PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT (“Agreement” or “Purchase and Sale

(the “Seller”), a Delaware limited liability company and GE EQUIPMENT TRANSPORTATION LLC,
SERIES 2011-1, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Purchaser”).
In consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, and for other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION
Section 1.1 Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined
shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Section 1 of Annex A to this Agreement.
Section 1.2 Rules of Construction. For purposes of this Agreement, the rules of
construction set forth in Section 2 of Annex A shall govern. All Annexes, Exhibits
and Schedules hereto, are incorporated herein by reference and, taken together with this Agreement,
shall constitute but a single agreement.
ARTICLE II
SALES OF PURCHASER ASSETS
Section 2.1 Sale of Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Seller
does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without
recourse (subject to the obligations herein) all right, title and interest of the Seller in
(without duplication):
(i) | the Loans and all obligations of the Obligors thereunder, excluding amounts received thereunder prior to or on the Cut-off Date; | ||
(ii) | all Related Security and any Collections and additional monies received under the Loans and Related Security, unless related to amounts due in respect of the Loans on or prior to the Cut-off Date; | ||
(iii) | the Sale Agreement; | ||
(iv) | all other property now or hereafter in the possession or custody of, or in transit to, the Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or the Seller relating to any of the foregoing; | ||
(v) | all Loan Files and Records with respect to any of the foregoing; and | ||
(vi) | all proceeds of the foregoing (all such assets, collectively, the “Purchaser Assets”). |
700148757 06142559 | Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller delegates to the Purchaser any remaining
obligations of the Seller under any Loan, and the Purchaser assumes such obligations.
(b) On or before the Closing Date, the Seller shall (i) indicate in its records that
the Purchaser Assets have been sold to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement by so
identifying the Purchaser Assets with an appropriate notation and (ii) deliver to the
Purchaser or its designee the following documents (collectively, the “Loan Files”):
(i) | the original fully executed copy of the Loan; | ||
(ii) | a record or facsimile of the original credit application, if obtained, fully executed by the Obligor; | ||
(iii) | the original certificate of title or file stamped copy of the UCC financing statement or such other documents evidencing the security interest of the Purchaser in the Equipment; and | ||
(iv) | any and all other material documents relating to a Loan, an Obligor or any of the Equipment. |
Section 2.2 Grant of Security Interest; Subordination. (a) The parties hereto intend
that the transfer, sale and assignment pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof shall constitute a
purchase and sale and not a loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Section 2.2, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the sale provided for
herein constitutes the grant of security for a loan (the “Deemed Loan”) and not a purchase
and sale or contribution, then:
(i) | The parties hereto intend that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law and that the Seller shall be deemed to have granted, and the Seller hereby grants, to the Purchaser a first priority lien and security interest in and to all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Purchaser Assets, all other Related Documents to which the Seller is a party and all proceeds thereof (collectively, the “Deemed Collateral”). The possession by the Purchaser of notes and such other goods, money, documents, chattel paper or certificated securities shall be deemed to be “possession by or delivery to the secured party” for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the UCC in force in the relevant jurisdiction (including, without limitation, Section 9-313(c)(1) thereof). Notifications to Persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from Persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law (except that nothing in this sentence shall cause any Person to be deemed to be an agent of the Purchaser for any purpose other than for perfection of such security interest unless, and then only to the extent, expressly appointed and authorized by the Purchaser in writing). |
700148757 06142559 | Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement |

(ii) | The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Deemed Loan is a non-recourse obligation of the Seller secured solely by the Deemed Collateral and does not represent an interest in any assets (other than the Deemed Collateral) of the Seller (including by virtue of any deficiency claim in respect of obligations not paid or otherwise satisfied from the Deemed Collateral and proceeds thereof). In furtherance of and not in derogation of the foregoing, the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that: |
(A) | The Purchaser shall not have any right, title or interest in or to any assets (or interests therein) (other than the Deemed Collateral) conveyed or purported to be conveyed by the Seller to any other Person or Persons (whether by way of a sale, capital contribution or by virtue of the granting of a lien) (“Other Assets”); and |
(B) | the Deemed Loan constitutes a claim (as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) which may be satisfied solely from the Deemed Collateral and its proceeds (whether through ordinary liquidation or the exercise of UCC remedies and other remedies provided herein) and does not constitute a claim against the Seller to the extent that the Deemed Collateral and such proceeds are insufficient to repay the Deemed Loan (including interest thereon, whether accrued before or after the filing of a bankruptcy petition) in full. |
(iii) | To the extent that, notwithstanding the agreements and provisions contained in clause (ii) above, the Purchaser either (A) asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit from, Other Assets, or (B) is deemed to have any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets, whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to applicable provisions of insolvency laws or otherwise (including by virtue of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision having similar effect under the Bankruptcy Code), then the Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is and shall be expressly subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full of all obligations and liabilities of the Seller other than the Deemed Loan, including, the payment of post-petition interest on such other obligations and liabilities. This subordination agreement shall be deemed a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of this Section 2.2 and the terms of this Section 2.2 may be enforced by an action for specific performance. |
(b) The Purchaser shall not file or join in a filing of a petition with respect to any
bankruptcy reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or similar
proceedings under any United States Federal or State bankruptcy or similar law relating to
the Seller, or cooperate or encourage others to file such a petition.

(c) The Seller hereby authorizes the Purchaser to file financing statements in respect
of the Seller covering the Purchaser Assets and the proceeds thereof.
Section 2.3 Sale Price. On the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall, upon satisfaction
of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, issue and exchange the Notes (the
“Purchaser Purchase Price”) as consideration for the Purchaser Assets sold and transferred
by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof.
Section 2.4 Removal and Sale of Loans. (a) In the event that a Loan becomes a
Delinquent Loan or the Obligor thereon is subject to a bankruptcy proceeding, the Seller shall be
granted an assignable option (a “Purchase Option”) to purchase such Delinquent Loan,
subject to the terms and conditions herein, from the Purchaser at a price (the “Option
Price”) equal to the Purchase Amount. The Seller may sell, transfer, assign or otherwise
convey its Purchase Option with respect to any such Loan to any party at any time after the related
Loan becomes a Delinquent Loan or the Obligor thereon is subject to a bankruptcy proceeding. The
Seller shall notify the Purchaser of such transfer and such notice shall include the transferee’s
name, address, telephone number, facsimile number and appropriate contact person(s) and shall be
acknowledged in writing by the transferee. If not exercised earlier, the Purchase Option with
respect to any such Loan shall automatically terminate upon (i) in the case of a Delinquent Loan,
the related Obligor’s cure of all defaults on the Loan, (ii) the acquisition by, or on behalf of,
the Purchaser of the related Equipment through repossession or (iii) a repurchase of a Loan due to
the Seller’s breach of a representation with respect to such Loan. The aggregate Outstanding
Principal Balance of Loans with respect to which the Seller may exercise its Purchase Option at any
time before the Redemption Date shall not exceed 10% of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance
of the Loans as of the Cut-off Date.
(b) Upon a Loan becoming a Delinquent Loan or the Obligor thereon becoming subject to a
bankruptcy proceeding, the Seller may exercise the Purchase Option by providing the
Purchaser at least five (5) days’ prior written notice thereof (the “Purchase Option
Notice”), which notice shall specify a cash exercise price at least equal to the Option
Price. The Purchase Option Notice shall be delivered in the manner specified in Section
2.4(a). The exercise of any Purchase Option pursuant to this clause (b) shall
be irrevocable.
(c) Upon exercise of a Purchase Option, the Seller shall be required to pay the Option
Price specified in its Purchase Option Notice to the Purchaser within ten (10) Business Days
of exercising its Purchase Option. The proceeds of any sale of such Loan, after deduction
of the expenses of such sale incurred in connection therewith, shall be deposited by the
Seller no later than the day before the next Payment Date.
(d) In the event that a Loan was originated by a business unit or equipment financing
platform that GE Capital wishes to exit, financed under a vendor program that is terminated
in the ordinary course by GE Capital, or is part of an Obligor relationship that GE Capital
elects to reduce or exit for risk exposure reasons in accordance with its credit and
collection policies, the Purchaser shall be entitled to sell such Loan purchased by it
pursuant to this Section 2.4 to a third-party for a cash price equal to the greater
of (x) the Purchase Amount and (y) the fair market value of the Loan. The proceeds of any
700148757 06142559 | Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement |
4
sale of such Loan and other related Purchaser Assets, after deduction of the expenses
of such sale incurred in connection therewith, shall be deposited by the Seller no later
than the day before the next Payment Date.

Section 7.2 No Waiver; Remedies. (a) Either party’s failure, at any time or times, to
require strict performance by the other party hereto of any provision of this Agreement shall not
waive, affect or diminish any right of such party thereafter to demand strict compliance and
performance herewith. Any suspension or waiver of any breach or default hereunder shall not
suspend, waive or affect any other breach or default whether the same is prior or subsequent
thereto and whether of the same or a different type. None of the undertakings, agreements,
warranties, covenants and representations of either party contained in this Agreement, and no

specifying such suspension or waiver.
(b) Upon discovery by the Seller or the Purchaser of any breach of any representation,
warranty, undertaking or covenant made by such party and described in Sections 4.1,
4.2 or 4.3, which breach is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect on the applicable Purchaser Assets, the party discovering the same shall give prompt
written notice thereof to the other party hereto. As liquidated damages, the Purchaser
shall, on the Transfer Date relating to the Collection Period during which the breach is
discovered, request the Seller to, and the Seller shall pay to, or at the direction of, the
Purchaser the Purchase Amount for the applicable Purchaser Assets (measured at the end of
the Collection Period during which such breach is discovered). Upon such payment, all
rights, title and interest of the Purchaser in and to such Purchaser Assets will be deemed
to be automatically released without the necessity of any further action by the Purchaser,
the Seller or any other party and such Purchaser Assets will become the property of the
Seller.
(c) Each party’s rights and remedies under this Agreement shall be cumulative and
nonexclusive of any other rights and remedies that such party may have
700148757 06142559 | Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement |

under any other agreement, including the other Related Documents, by operation of law
or otherwise.
Section 7.3 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall
inure to the benefit of the Seller and the Purchaser and their respective successors and permitted
assigns, except as otherwise provided herein. The Seller may not assign, transfer, hypothecate or
otherwise convey its rights, benefits, obligations or duties hereunder without the prior express
written consent of the Purchaser. Any such purported assignment, transfer, hypothecation or other
conveyance by the Seller without the prior express written consent of the Purchaser shall be void.
The Seller acknowledges that under the Indenture the Purchaser will assign its rights granted
hereunder to the Indenture Trustee, and upon such assignment, the Indenture Trustee shall have, to
the extent of such assignment, all rights of the Purchaser hereunder and the Indenture Trustee may
in turn transfer such rights. The terms and provisions of this Agreement are for the purpose of
defining the relative rights and obligations of the Seller and the Purchaser with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby and no Person shall be a third-party beneficiary of any of the
terms and provisions of this Agreement.

constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall
remain in full force and effect until the earlier of (i) the Final Maturity Date or (ii) the
Redemption Date.
(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any other Related Document, no
termination or cancellation (regardless of cause or procedure) of any commitment made by the

any and all recourse and indemnity obligations of the Seller to the Purchaser, due or not
due, liquidated, contingent or unliquidated or any transaction or event occurring prior to
such termination, or any transaction or event, the performance of which is required after
the Final Maturity Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any other
Related Document, all undertakings, agreements, covenants, warranties and representations of
or binding upon the Seller, and all rights of the Purchaser hereunder shall not terminate or
expire, but rather shall survive any such termination or cancellation and shall continue in
full force and effect until the earlier of (i) the Final Maturity Date or (ii) the
Redemption Date; provided, that the rights and remedies pursuant to Section
7.2(b), the indemnification and payment provisions of Article V, and the
provisions of Sections 4.3(d), 7.3, 7.4(b) and 7.12 shall be
continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
Section 7.5 Complete Agreement; Modification of Agreement. This Agreement constitutes
the complete agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, supersedes

not be modified, altered or amended except as set forth in Section 7.6.

700148757 06142559 | Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement |
12
each of the parties hereto. No consent or demand in any case shall, in itself, entitle any
party to any other consent or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
Section 7.7 GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. (a) THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF
CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS
THEREOF EXCEPT SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATION LAW) AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
(b) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS
LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO
HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN THEM PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR TO
ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT; PROVIDED, THAT EACH PARTY
HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT
LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY; PROVIDED
FURTHER, THAT NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE THE
PURCHASER FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO
REALIZE ON THE LOANS OR ANY SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE SELLER ARISING HEREUNDER OR
TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF THE PURCHASER. EACH PARTY HERETO
SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY
SUCH COURT, AND EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE BASED
UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND HEREBY
CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH
COURT. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER
PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT
AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO SUCH PARTY AT ITS
ADDRESS DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 7.1 AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE
DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF SUCH PARTY’S ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE DAYS AFTER
DEPOSIT IN THE UNITED STATES MAIL, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION SHALL
AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY
LAW.
700148757 06142559 | Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement |
13
(c) BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST
QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH
APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES
DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE,
TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION,
THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING
BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT
OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN
CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
Section 7.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of separate
counterparts, each of which shall collectively and separately constitute one agreement.
Section 7.9 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall
be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any
provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision
shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the
remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Section 7.10 Section Titles. The section titles and table of contents contained in
this Agreement are provided for ease of reference only and shall be without substantive meaning or
content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto.
Section 7.11 No Setoff. The Seller’s obligations under this Agreement shall not be
affected by any right of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right the Seller might
have against the Purchaser, all of which rights are hereby expressly waived by the Seller.
Section 7.12 Confidentiality. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, there
is no restriction (express or implied) on any disclosure or dissemination of the structure or tax
aspects of the transaction contemplated by the Related Documents. Furthermore, each party hereto
acknowledges that it has no proprietary rights to any tax matter or tax idea contemplated hereby or
to any element of the transaction structure contemplated hereby.
Section 7.13 Further Assurances. (a) The Seller shall, at its sole cost and expense,
upon request of the Purchaser, promptly and duly authorize, execute and/or deliver, as applicable,
any and all further instruments and documents and take such further actions that may be necessary
or desirable or that the Purchaser may request to carry out more effectively the provisions and
purposes of this Agreement or to obtain the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and
powers herein granted, including authorizing the filing of any financing or continuation statements
under the UCC with respect to the ownership interests or Liens granted hereunder. The Seller

700148757 06142559 | Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement |

photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or of any notice or financing statement
covering the Purchaser Assets or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a notice or financing

Purchaser Assets is or shall become evidenced by any instrument, such instrument, other than checks
and notes received in the ordinary course of business, shall be duly endorsed in a manner
satisfactory to the Purchaser immediately upon the Seller’s receipt thereof and promptly delivered
to or at the direction of the Purchaser.
(b) If the Seller fails to perform any agreement or obligation under this Section
7.13, the Purchaser may (but shall not be required to) itself perform, or cause
performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the reasonable expenses of the Purchaser
incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Seller upon demand of the
Purchaser.
Section 7.14 Accounting Changes. If any Accounting Changes occur and such changes
result in a change in the standards or terms used herein, then the parties hereto agree to enter
into negotiations in order to amend such provisions so as to equitably reflect such Accounting
Changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the financial condition of such
Persons and their Subsidiaries shall be the same after such Accounting Changes as if such
Accounting Changes had not been made. If the parties hereto agree upon the required amendments to
this Agreement, then after appropriate amendments have been executed and the underlying Accounting
Change with respect thereto has been implemented, any reference to GAAP contained herein shall,
only to the extent of such Accounting Change, refer to GAAP consistently applied after giving
effect to the implementation of such Accounting Change. If such parties cannot agree upon the
required amendments within 30 days following the date of implementation of any Accounting Change,
then all financial statements delivered and all standards and terms used herein shall be prepared,
delivered and used without regard to the underlying Accounting Change.

PERFECTION REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS
In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase and
Sale Agreement, to induce the Purchaser to enter into the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Seller
hereby represents, warrants, and covenants to Purchaser as follows, on the Closing Date:
General
1. The Purchase and Sale Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as
defined in the applicable UCC) in the Collateral in favor of the Purchaser, which security interest
is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from
the Seller.
2. The Loans constitute “accounts,” “general intangibles,” “instruments,” or “tangible chattel
paper,” within the meaning of the UCC as in effect in the State of New York.
3. The Seller has taken all steps necessary to perfect its security interest in the property
securing the Loans that constitute chattel paper in favor of the Purchaser.
Creation
4. The Seller owns and has good and marketable title to the Loans free and clear of any Lien,
claim or encumbrance of any Person, excepting only liens for taxes, assessments or similar
governmental charges or levies incurred in the ordinary course of business that are not yet due and
payable or as to which any applicable grace period shall not have expired, or that are being
contested in good faith by proper proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been
established, but only so long as foreclosure with respect to such a lien is not imminent and the
use and value of the property to which the Lien attaches is not impaired during the pendency of
such proceeding.
Perfection
5. The Seller has caused or will have caused, within ten (10) days after the effective date of
the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper
filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the sale of
the Loans from the Seller to the Purchaser, and the security interest in the Loans granted to the
Purchaser hereunder and all financing statements referred to in this paragraph contain a statement
that: “A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement
will violate the rights of the Purchaser.”.
6. With respect to Loans that constitute an instrument or tangible chattel paper, either:
(a) Such instruments or tangible chattel paper are in the possession of a custodian and the
Purchaser has received a written acknowledgment from the custodian that the custodian is
700148757 06142559 | Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement |
Sch.4.4-1
holding such instruments or tangible chattel paper to effect the Purchaser’s security interest
therein; or
(b) A custodian received possession of such instruments or tangible chattel paper after the
Purchaser received a written acknowledgment from such custodian that such custodian is acting to
effect the Purchaser’s security interest therein.
Priority
7. Other than the transfer of the Loans to the Seller under the Sale Agreement, the security
interest granted to the Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement and the security
interest granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, neither the Seller nor the
Purchaser has pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of
the Loans. Neither the Seller nor the Purchaser has authorized the filing of, or is aware of any
financing statements against the Seller or the Purchaser that include a description of collateral
covering the Loans other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to
the Purchaser hereunder or to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture or that has been
terminated.
8. Survival of Perfection Representations. Notwithstanding any other provision of the
Purchase and Sale Agreement or any other Related Document, the Perfection Representations contained
in this Schedule 4.4 shall be continuing, and remain in full force and effect and shall
continue until the payment in full of all Purchaser Assets.
10. No Waiver. The parties to the Purchase and Sale Agreement: (i) shall not, unless
the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied, waive any of the Perfection Representations;
(ii) shall provide the Ratings Agencies with prompt written notice of any breach of the Perfection
Representations, and (iii) shall not, unless the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied
(as determined after any adjustment or withdrawal of the ratings following notice of such breach)
waive a breach of any of the Perfection Representations.
11. Seller to Maintain Perfection and Priority. The Seller covenants that, in order
to evidence the interests of the Seller and the Purchaser under the Purchase and Sale Agreement,
the Seller shall execute and deliver such instruments (other than effecting a Filing (as defined
below), unless such Filing is effected in accordance with this paragraph) as may be necessary or
advisable (including, without limitation, such actions as are requested by the Purchaser) to
maintain and perfect, as a first priority interest, the Purchaser’s security interest in the
Collateral. The Seller shall within the time limits established by law, prepare and present to the
Purchaser for the Purchaser to authorize (based in reliance on the Opinion of Counsel hereinafter
provided for) the Servicer to file all financing statements, amendments, continuations, initial
financing statements in lieu of a continuation statement, terminations, partial terminations,
releases or partial releases, or any other filings necessary or advisable to continue, maintain and
perfect the Purchaser’s security interest in the Collateral as a first-priority interest (each a
“Filing”). The Seller shall present each such Filing to the Purchaser together with (x) an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such Filing is (i) consistent with grant of the security
interest to the Purchaser pursuant to the Granting Clause of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, (ii)
satisfies all requirements and conditions to such Filing in the Purchase and Sale Agreement and
(iii) satisfies
700148757 06142559 | Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement |
Sch.4.4-2
the requirements for a Filing of such type under the Uniform Commercial Code in the applicable
jurisdiction (or if the Uniform Commercial Code does not apply, the applicable statute governing
the perfection of security interests), and (y) a form of authorization for the Seller’s signature
authorizing the Servicer to effect such Filing under the Uniform Commercial Code without the
signature of the Seller where allowed by applicable law.

Exhibit 4.2(f)
SEPARATE IDENTITY PROVISIONS
The Purchaser, GE Capital and the Seller have and will continue (in each case, to the extent
within its control) to maintain the Purchaser’s separate existence and identity and have and will
continue to take all steps necessary to make it apparent to third parties that the Purchaser is an
entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of the Seller or GE Capital or any other
Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Seller or GE Capital. In addition to the foregoing, such steps and
indicia of the Purchaser’s separate identity include the following:
(a) The Purchaser does and will maintain its own stationery and other business forms separate
from those of any other Person (including the Seller and GE Capital), and will conduct business in
its own name except that certain Persons may act on behalf of the Purchaser as agents;
(b) The Purchaser maintains and will maintain separate office space of its own as part of its
operations, although such space is in a building shared with GE Capital. The corporate or limited
liability company records, the other books and records, and the other assets of the Purchaser are
and will be segregated from the property of the Seller;
(c) GE Capital will issue consolidated financial statements, which include the Seller, the
Purchaser and other Subsidiaries thereof. Consequently, GE Capital’s financial statements also
will show Purchaser Assets that have been sold by the Seller to the Purchaser as assets of GE
Capital and its consolidated Subsidiaries. The Seller, GE Capital and the Purchaser will take
certain actions to disclose publicly the Purchaser’s separate existence and the transactions
contemplated hereby, including through the filing of the UCC Financing Statements. None of the
Seller, GE Capital or the Purchaser has concealed or will conceal from any interested party any
transfers contemplated by the Related Documents;
(d) The Purchaser will not have its own employees, and, as indicated, the Purchaser’s business
relating to the Purchaser Assets may be conducted through agents. However, any allocations of
direct, indirect or overhead expenses for items shared between the Purchaser or GE Capital that are
not included as part of the Servicing Fee are and will be made among such entities to the extent
practical on the basis of actual use or value of services rendered and otherwise on a basis
reasonably related to actual use or the value of services rendered;
(e) Except as provided in paragraph (d) above regarding the allocation of certain
shared overhead items, the Purchaser does and will pay its own operating expenses and liabilities
from its own funds, except GE Capital did and will pay all expenses of the Purchaser incurred in
connection with the transactions entered into pursuant to the Related Documents, including those
related to the Purchaser’s organization;
(f) Each of the Seller, GE Capital and the Purchaser does and will maintain its assets and
liabilities in such a manner that it is not costly or difficult to segregate, ascertain or
otherwise identify the Purchaser’s individual assets and liabilities from those of the Seller or GE
Capital or from those of any other person or entity, including any other Subsidiary or Affiliate of
the Seller or GE Capital. Except as set forth below, the Purchaser does and will maintain its own
books of
700148757 06142559 | Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement |
Exhibit 4.2(f)-1
account and corporate or limited liability company records separate from the Seller or GE
Capital or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Seller or GE Capital. Monetary transactions,
including those with each other, are and will continue to be properly reflected in their respective
financial records. The Purchaser does not and will not commingle or pool its funds or other assets
or liabilities with those of the Seller or GE Capital or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate of the
Seller or GE Capital except as specifically provided in the Related Documents with respect to the
temporary commingling of Collections and with respect to GE Capital’s retention, in its capacity as
Servicer of the Loans, of the books and records pertaining to the Purchaser Assets. However, GE
Capital will not generally make the books and records relating to the Purchaser Assets available to
any of creditors or other interested Persons of the Purchaser or the Seller. The Purchaser does
not and will not maintain joint bank accounts or other depository accounts to which the Seller or
GE Capital or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Seller or GE Capital (other than GE
Capital’s capacity as Servicer) has independent access;
(g) The Purchaser will strictly observe corporate or limited liability company formalities,
and the Seller and GE Capital will strictly observe corporate formalities with respect to its
dealings with the Purchaser. Specifically, no transfer of assets between any of the Seller and GE
Capital, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other, will be made without adherence to
corporate or limited liability company formalities;
(h) The transactions among the Purchaser and the Seller or GE Capital, including the terms
governing any servicer advances and the amount and payment of the Servicing Fee, are on terms and
conditions that are consistent with those of arm’s-length relationships. Neither Seller nor GE
Capital is or will be, or holds or will hold itself out to be, responsible for the debts of the
Purchaser, except as provided in: the representations made by GE Capital (including, if applicable,
as a servicer or a sub-servicer) to the Purchaser relating to the Purchaser Assets and their prior
ownership and servicing thereof, as applicable. The Purchaser will not guaranty the debts of the
Seller or GE Capital;
(i) All distributions made by the Purchaser to the Seller as its sole member shall be in
accordance with applicable law;
(j) Any other transactions between the Purchaser and the Seller or GE Capital permitted by
(although not expressly provided for in) the Related Documents have been and will be fair and
equitable to each of the parties, have been and will be the type of transaction that would be
entered into by a prudent Person or entity, and have been and will be on terms that are at least as
favorable as may be obtained from a third party Person;
(k) The Purchaser is not named and has not entered into any agreement to be named, directly or
indirectly, as a direct or contingent beneficiary or loss payee on any insurance policy covering
the assets of the Seller or GE Capital; and
(l) On balance, the Purchaser has been and will be held out to the public as a separate entity
apart from each of the Seller and GE Capital.
