WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, capitalized terms used in these recitals shall have the meanings assigned to them in Article I hereof;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Purchase and Contribution Agreement, LEAF III shall from time to time sell and/or contribute to Borrower, and Borrower shall from time to time purchase from LEAF III, all of LEAF III’s right, title and interest in, to and under certain Purchased Contracts;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof, the Lenders have severally agreed to make Advances to Borrower in order to fund a portion of the Purchase Price of each such Purchased Contract;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof, Borrower has agreed to secure its obligations to the Lenders hereunder by granting to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a first priority lien on, among other things, all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Purchased Contracts; and

ARTICLE II

ADVANCES

SECTION 2.01. Commitments.

(a) During the Commitment Period, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make Advances to Borrower in an aggregate amount up to but not exceeding such Lender’s Commitment; provided, after giving effect to the making of any Advances in no event shall the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Advances exceed the Credit Limit. Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.01 may be repaid or prepaid during the Commitment Period. Each Lender’s Commitment shall expire on the Commitment Termination Date. The aggregate amount of the Commitments as of the Closing Date is $131,425,392.23.

(b) Unless all Lenders otherwise agree, the only Advance pursuant to this Agreement shall be on the Closing Date and amounts borrowed pursuant to this Agreement shall not be reborrowed if repaid or prepaid. If additional Advances are permitted after the Closing Date by the Lenders, the Lenders shall notify the Borrower in writing that such option is available.

SECTION 2.02. Advances

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender shall make an Advance requested by a Purchase Date Notice to Borrower on the applicable Purchase Date in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the product of (x) the Advance Rate, times (y) the Contract Value of all Purchased Contracts to be purchased as of such Purchase Date; provided, the aggregate minimum amount of all Advances to be made on a Purchase Date shall be $1,000,000.

(b) Whenever Borrower desires that the Lenders make Advances, Borrower shall deliver to the Facility Agent at the Notice Office a fully executed and delivered Purchase Date Notice, not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the date which is no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the date of a proposed making of Advances. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.09(b), a Purchase Date Notice shall be irrevocable, and Borrower shall be bound to make a borrowing in accordance therewith.

(c) Notice of receipt of each Purchase Date Notice, together with the amount of each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of the Advances requested thereby, shall be provided by the Facility Agent to each applicable Lender by Approved Electronic Communications with reasonable promptness, but (provided the Facility Agent shall have received such notice by 12:00 noon (New York City time)) not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the same day as the Facility Agent’s receipt of such Purchase Date Notice from Borrower; otherwise, by Facility Agent by 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately following receipt of the Purchase Date Notice.

- 2 -

(d) Each Lender shall initiate a wire transfer of the amount of its Advance to the Facility Agent not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the applicable Purchase Date by wire transfer of same day funds in Dollars, at the Payment Office. Except as provided herein, upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified herein, the Facility Agent shall make the proceeds of such Advances available to Borrower on the applicable Purchase Date by causing an amount of same day funds in Dollars equal to the proceeds of all such Advances received by the Facility Agent from the Lenders to be credited to the account of Borrower at the Payment Office or such other account as may be designated in writing to the Facility Agent by Borrower.

SECTION 2.03. Pro Rata Shares; Availability of Funds.

(a) Pro Rata Shares . All Advances shall be made, and all participations purchased, by the Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make an Advance requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make an Advance requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby.

(b) Availability of Funds. Unless the Facility Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the applicable Purchase Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Facility Agent the amount of such Lender’s Advance requested on such Purchase Date, the Facility Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Facility Agent on such Purchase Date and the Facility Agent may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount on such Purchase Date. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Facility Agent by such Lender, the Facility Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from such Purchase Date until the date such amount is paid to the Facility Agent, at the customary rate set by the Facility Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Facility Agent’s demand therefor, the Facility Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Facility Agent together with interest thereon, for each day from such Purchase Date until the date such amount is paid to the Facility Agent, at the Base Rate plus the Program Fee Rate. Nothing in this Section 2.03(b) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

SECTION 2.04. Evidence of Debt; Register; Notes.

(a) Evidence of Debt. Each Lender shall maintain on its internal records an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of Borrower to such Lender, including the amounts of the Advances made by it and each repayment and prepayment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower, absent manifest error; provided, that, failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not

- 3 -

affect any Lender’s Commitments or Borrower’s Obligations in respect of any applicable Advances; and provided further, in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern.

(b) Register. The Facility Agent shall maintain at the Payment Office a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments and Advances of each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower or any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s Advances) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Facility Agent shall record in the Register the Commitments and the Advances, and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Advances, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower and each Lender, absent manifest error; provided, failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Commitments or Borrower’s Obligations in respect of any Advance. Borrower hereby designates KEF to serve as Borrower’s agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 2.04, and Borrower hereby agrees that, to the extent KEF serves in such capacity, KEF and its officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates shall constitute “Indemnified Parties.”

(c) Notes. If so requested by any Lender by written notice to Borrower (with a copy to the Facility Agent), Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 9.02, or otherwise pursuant to a joinder agreement), promptly after Borrower’s receipt of such notice a Note or Notes (which shall have accompanied such notice) to evidence such Lender’s Advances.

SECTION 2.05. Interest.

(a) Except as otherwise set forth herein, the unpaid principal amount of each Advance shall bear interest on each day during each Accrual Period until the Advances are paid in full at a rate per annum equal to:

(i) if an Advance or a portion of an Advance is at the time funded or maintained by a CP Rate Lender, the CP Rate for the applicable CP Rate Lender on such day; provided, however, that if such Advance or a portion of such Advance is funded by a CP Rate Lender for such day through a Swingline Loan, then the portion of the Advances funded by a CP Rate Lender with proceeds from a Swingline Loan shall earn a rate equal to the Alternate Rate; or

(ii) if an Advance or a portion of an Advance is at the time funded or maintained by a Support Institution, the Alternate Rate.

(b) Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.05(a) shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In computing interest on any Advance, the date of the making of such Advance or the first day of an Accrual Period applicable to such Advance shall be included, and the date of payment of such Advance or the expiration date of an Accrual Period applicable to such

- 4 -

Advance shall be excluded; provided, if an Advance is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid on that Advance.

(c) Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Advance shall be payable in arrears (i) on each Payment Date applicable to that Advance; (ii) any prepayment of that Advance, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid; and (iii) at maturity, including final maturity.

(d) Except to the extent otherwise set forth herein or in the Transaction Document providing for such calculation, interest and periodic fees shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and the actual number of days elapsed. The CP Rate Lender shall submit to the Facility Agent and the Borrower (i) five Business Days prior to each Payment Date notice of an estimate of the applicable CP Rate for the applicable Accrual Period ending on such Payment Date, and (ii) simultaneously with any demand by the CP Rate Lender therefor, notice of the amount of any Breakage Costs then payable to the CP Rate Lender. If requested by the Facility Agent or the Borrower, each such notice shall include reasonable detail supporting the calculations made by the CP Rate Lender with respect to the foregoing amounts. The Facility Agent shall notify each of the Servicer and the Borrower of the determination of the Cost of Funds Rate(s) to be used in calculating interest for each Accrual Period on the Determination Date; provided, that, in the case of the CP Rate, that the CP Rate Lender has timely provided such information to the Facility Agent. All notices to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph may be provided to the Servicer, as agent of the Borrower, unless (i) the Facility Agent has received written notice from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower that the Servicer is no longer serving as the Borrower’s agent for such purpose, or (ii) if LEAF Financial is not the Servicer. The Facility Agent shall promptly deliver any such notice that it receives to the CP Rate Lender. The failure of the CP Rate Lender or the Servicer to provide any notice described in this Section 2.05(d) shall not relieve Borrower of any of its payment obligations hereunder.

SECTION 2.06. Default Interest. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default each Advance shall bear interest on the principal amount thereof from time to time outstanding, from the date of such occurrence until such principal amount is paid in full, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Funding Rate. All interest referred to in this Section 2.06 shall be calculated on a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed.

SECTION 2.07. Payment of Advances.

(a) Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Facility Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, or to the applicable Lender directly, as directed by the Facility Agent, each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the then unpaid principal amount of each Advance in such amount as set forth in the Priority of Payments on each Payment Date, commencing on the first Payment Date following the Payment Date on which such Advance is made and when due; provided, the aggregate principal amount of the Advances shall, in any event, be paid in full no later than the Scheduled Maturity Date; and provided further, that if, at the close of business on any Business Day, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Advances exceeds the Borrowing Base, then the Borrower, not later than two Business Days thereafter, shall remit to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, a principal prepayment (to be applied by the

- 5 -

Lenders to repay their respective Advances, pro rata and pari passu), in an amount not less than such excess. Borrower may, without penalty or premium, prepay the principal of any Advance on any Payment Date, in whole or in part and together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice; provided, that such payment shall be accompanied (unless waived in writing by such Lender) by Breakage Costs and any other breakage costs or funding losses authorized under Section 2.09.

(b) All payments of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made in Dollars in same day funds, without defense, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to the Facility Agent or the applicable Lender, as specified by the Facility Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date due at the Payment Office for the account of the Lenders; for purposes of computing interest and fees, funds received by the Facility Agent or the applicable Lender after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by Borrower on the next succeeding Business Day.

(c) All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Advance shall include payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid, and all such payments (and, in any event, any payments in respect of any Advance on a date when interest is due and payable with respect to such Advance) shall be applied to the payment of interest then due and payable before application to principal.

(d) The Facility Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender at such account and/or address as such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due hereunder, together with all other amounts due thereto, including, without limitation, all fees payable with respect thereto, to the extent received by the Facility Agent.

(e) Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder (but shall not be included in computing the length of the immediately succeeding accrual period).

(f) Borrower hereby authorizes the Facility Agent to charge Borrower’s accounts with the Facility Agent in order to cause timely payment to be made to the Facility Agent of all principal, interest, fees and expenses due hereunder (subject to sufficient funds being available in its accounts for that purpose).

(g) The Facility Agent shall deem any payment by or on behalf of Borrower hereunder that is not received by the Facility Agent or the applicable Lender in same day funds prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the due date therefor to be a non-conforming payment and the CP Rate Lender shall deem any payment to which it is entitled hereunder, whether by or on behalf of the Borrower or the Facility Agent, that is not received by the CP Rate Lender in same day funds prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the due date thereof to be a non-conforming payment. Any such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by the Facility Agent or applicable Lender until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds, and (ii) the applicable next succeeding Business Day. The Facility Agent (or, if applicable, the CP Rate Lender) shall give prompt telephonic notice to Borrower and each

- 6 -

applicable Lender (confirmed in writing) if any payment is non-conforming. Interest shall accrue on any amount as to which a non-conforming payment is made until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than the period from the date of such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the rate determined pursuant to Section 2.06 from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full.

(h) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and the Obligations shall have been accelerated, all payments or proceeds received by the Facility Agent hereunder in respect of any of the Obligations shall be applied in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

SECTION 2.08. Ratable Sharing. The Lenders hereby agree among themselves that, except as otherwise provided herein, if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Advances made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Transaction Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify the Facility Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all of the Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided, if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, set-off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by Borrower to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder.

SECTION 2.09. Funding Losses; Breakage Costs.

(a) The Borrower hereby agrees that upon demand by any Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for the calculations of the amount being claimed, but may be presented by the Facility Agent on behalf of such Affected Party) the Borrower will indemnify such Affected Party against any out of pocket net loss or expense which such Affected Party shall sustain or incur (including any out of pocket net loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Affected Party to fund or maintain any Advance made by any Lender to the Borrower or any Swingline Loan made by any Swingline Lender to the CP Rate Lender), as determined by such Affected Party, as a result of (i) any payment or prepayment (including any

- 7 -

mandatory prepayment) of any Advance or Swingline Loan on a date other than a Payment Date for such Advance or Swingline Loan, or on Payment Date but without three (3) Business Days’ notice (it being understood that each Lender’s receipt of a Servicer Report delivered on the Determination Date immediately preceding such Payment Date will satisfy such notice requirement to the extent such Servicer Report reflects the payments to be made on such Payment Date), (ii) any redemption, prepayment or other principal reduction of any Advance on a Payment Date (other than a December Payment Date) in an amount, of which the CP Rate Lender shall have received three (3) Business Days’ notice of the payment thereof, exceeding the sum of (x) fifteen percent (15%) of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Advances as of the end of the immediately preceding Monthly Period and (y) Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), (iii) any redemption, prepayment or other principal reduction of any Advance on a December Payment Date which exceeds the imputed principal component of the payments due from Obligors under the Contracts during the Monthly Period ending immediately prior to the December Payment Date, as estimated in the Servicer Report delivered on the Determination Date occurring in November of the same year (a “November Servicer Report”), if the CP Rate Lender has received the applicable November Servicer Report setting forth the amount of any such principal payment thirty (30) calendar days prior to such December Payment Date, (iv) a principal payment to the CP Rate Lender on a December Payment Date which is less than the amount estimated in the applicable November Servicer Report for such December Payment Date, (v) any failure of the Borrower to borrow any Advance on a date specified therefor in a related Purchase Date Notice, unless Borrower timely delivers a Purchase Date Notice and satisfies each of the conditions to the funding of such Advance and such failure arises solely as a result of CP Rate Lender’s election not to fund, or any failure of the Borrower to make a prepayment after having notified the Facility Agent of the Borrower’s intention to make such a prepayment, or (vi) any change of the Cost of Funds Rate applicable to an Advance or Swingline Loan accruing interest at the Alternate Rate as provided in the definition of the term “Cost of Funds Rate”. Such written statement shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding for all purposes. Any amounts described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first sentence of this subsection (a) shall be an “Excess Principal Payment”. For the avoidance of doubt, any prepayment will be out of Collections deposited in the Collection Account and shall be paid and distributed on the Payment Date such prepayment is received in the manner set forth in Section 2.15.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 2.09(a), but without duplication of amounts payable thereunder, if the CP Rate Lender receives an Excess Principal Payment, and a Reduction Excess Amount exists with respect to such Excess Principal Payment, the Borrower shall, on the day on which such Excess Principal Payment is made, and in addition to the amount of any Excess Principal Payment, pay to the CP Rate Lender any Breakage Costs and any other breakage costs or funding losses authorized under Section 2.09(a).

(c) A statement as to any amounts referred to in this Section 2.09 payable to an Affected Party, submitted to the Borrower (with a copy to the Facility Agent) by such Affected Party (or submitted by the Facility Agent to the Borrower on behalf of an Affected Party), setting forth the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding for all purposes. Failure on the part of any Affected Party to demand compensation for any amount to this Section 2.09 with respect to any period shall not

- 8 -

constitute a waiver of such Affected Party’s right to demand compensation with respect to such period.

SECTION 2.10. Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a) Compensation For Increased Costs and Taxes. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.11 (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Lender (which term shall include any Support Institution of such Lender for all purposes of this Section 2.10(a)) shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof (including the introduction of any new law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order), or any determination of a Governmental Authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive issued or made after the date hereof by any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law): (i) subjects such Lender (or its applicable lending office) to any additional Tax (other than any Tax on the overall net income of such Lender) with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or any payments to such Lender (or its applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder; (ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender (other than any such reserve or other requirements with respect to Advances bearing interest at the LIBO Rate that are reflected in the definition of LIBO Rate); or (iii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or its obligations hereunder or the London interbank market; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Advances hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable lending office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Such Lender shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to the Facility Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 2.10(a), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error. Each Lender seeking compensation under this Section 2.10(a) shall make reasonable efforts to notify Borrower of its cost or expense within sixty (60) days of the incurrence of such cost or expense for which such Lender demands compensation, but a Lender’s failure to make such demand within said sixty (60) day period shall not constitute a waiver of its right to such indemnification for such cost or expense.

(b) Capital Adequacy Adjustment. In the event that any Lender (which term shall include any Support Institution of such Lender for all purposes of this Section 2.10(b))

shall have determined that the adoption, effectiveness, phase-in or applicability after the Closing Date of any law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) with any guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s Advances or Commitment, or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Advances to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase-in, applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within five Business Days after receipt by Borrower from such Lender of the statement referred to in the next sentence, Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling corporation on an after-tax basis for such reduction. Such Lender shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to the Facility Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.10(b), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error. Each Lender seeking compensation under this Section 2.10(b) shall make reasonable efforts to notify Borrower of its cost or expense within sixty (60) days of the incurrence of such cost or expense for which such Lender demands compensation, but a Lender’s failure to make such demand within said sixty (60) day period shall not constitute a waiver of its right to such indemnification for such cost or expense.

SECTION 2.11. Taxes; Withholding, etc.

(a) Payments to Be Free and Clear. All sums payable by Borrower hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents shall (except to the extent required by law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax (other than a Tax on the overall net income of any Lender) imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or within the United States or any political subdivision in or of the United States or any other jurisdiction from or to which a payment is made by or on behalf of Borrower.

(b) Withholding of Taxes. If Borrower or any other Person is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any such Tax from any sum paid or payable by Borrower to the Facility Agent or any Lender under any of the Transaction Documents: (i) Borrower shall notify the Facility Agent of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as Borrower becomes aware of it; (ii) Borrower shall pay any such Tax before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on Borrower) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on the Facility Agent or such Lender, as the case may be) on behalf of and in the name of the Facility Agent or such Lender; (iii) (unless Borrower shall have paid such Tax pursuant to the prior clause (ii)) the sum payable by Borrower in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction, withholding or payment, the Facility Agent or such Lender, as the case may be,

- 10 -

receives on the due date with respect thereto a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction, withholding or payment been required or made; and (iv) within thirty (30) days after paying any sum from which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding, and within thirty (30) days after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is required by clause (ii) above to pay, Borrower shall deliver to the Facility Agent evidence satisfactory to the other affected parties of such deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority; provided, no such additional amount shall be required to be paid to any Lender under clause (iii) above except to the extent that any change after the date hereof (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or after the effective date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which such Lender became a Lender (in the case of each other Lender) in any such requirement for a deduction, withholding or payment as is mentioned therein shall result in an increase in the rate of such deduction, withholding or payment from that in effect at the date hereof or at the date of such Assignment Agreement, as the case may be, in respect of payments to such Lender.

(c) Evidence of Exemption From U.S. Withholding Tax. Each Lender that is not a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “Non-US Lender”) shall deliver to the Facility Agent for transmission to Borrower, on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or on or prior to the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of Borrower or the Facility Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (i) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or any successor forms), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Code and reasonably requested by Borrower to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of the Transaction Documents, or (ii) if such Lender is not a “bank” or other Person described in Section 881(c)(3) of the Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI pursuant to clause (i) above, a Certificate re Non-Bank Status together with two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Code and reasonably requested by Borrower to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of interest payable under any of the Transaction Documents. Each Lender that is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for United States federal income tax purposes (a “U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to Facility Agent and Borrower on or prior to the Closing Date (or, if later, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, certifying that such U.S. Lender is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax, or otherwise prove that it is entitled to such an exemption. Each Lender required to deliver any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters pursuant to this Section 2.11(c) hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of such forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall promptly

- 11 -

deliver to the Facility Agent for transmission to Borrower two new original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, or a Certificate re Non-Bank Status and two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor form), as the case may be, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Code and reasonably requested by Borrower to confirm or establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to payments to such Lender under the Transaction Documents, or notify the Facility Agent and Borrower of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence. Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any Non-US Lender under Section 2.11(b)(iii) if such Lender shall have failed (1) to deliver the forms, certificates or other evidence referred to in the second sentence of this Section 2.11(c), or (2) to notify the Facility Agent and Borrower of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence, as the case may be; provided, if such Lender shall have satisfied the requirements of the first sentence of this Section 2.11(c) on the Closing Date or on the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it became a Lender, as applicable, nothing in this last sentence of Section 2.11(c) shall relieve Borrower of its obligation to pay any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.11 in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender is not subject to withholding as described herein.

SECTION 2.12. Obligation to Mitigate. Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering its Advances becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under Section 2.10 or 2.11, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to (a) make, issue, fund or maintain its Advances through another office of such Lender, or (b) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.10 or 2.11 would be materially reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Commitments or Advances through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Commitments or Advances or the interests of such Lender; provided, such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other office pursuant to this Section 2.12 unless Borrower agrees to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other office as described above. A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.12 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Lender to Borrower (with a copy to the Facility Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.13. [Reserved].

- 12 -

(a) Prior to the Commitment Termination Date, Borrower may, by written notice to the Facility Agent, request an increase to the existing Commitments (any such increase, any “Incremental Commitment”).

(b) No increase to the existing Commitments shall occur, and no Person may provide an Incremental Commitment, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Facility Agent and each Lender, which consent shall be in the sole discretion of the Facility Agent and the Lenders (each approved Person, if any, an “Incremental Lender”).

(c) No Lender or any other Person shall have any obligation to provide any or all of the Incremental Commitments until such time such Person becomes an Incremental Lender, and any Lender may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide an Incremental Commitment.

(f) The Facility Agent shall notify the Lenders, promptly upon determination of any Incremental Increase Date, of (i) the Incremental Commitments and the Incremental Lenders, and (ii) in the case of each notice to any Lender having Exposure, the respective interests in such Lender’s Advances, in each case subject to the assignments contemplated by this Section 2.14.

(g) The terms and provisions of the Incremental Advances shall be identical to the Advances.

SECTION 2.17. Cash Reserve Account

(a) The Borrower, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, hereby establishes and agrees to maintain in the name of the Borrower an account until the date upon which Borrower’s Obligations are extinguished entitled “Key Equipment Finance Inc., as Collateral Agent, Cash Reserve Account of LEAF III B SPE, LLC” (the “Cash Reserve Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders. The Cash Reserve Account shall initially be established with and maintained at the Paying Agent.

(b) The funds on deposit in the Cash Reserve Account may be invested in Eligible Investments at the direction of the Borrower, or, during the continuation of an Event of Default, solely at the direction of the Collateral Agent. Other than as agreed upon between the Collateral Agent and the Borrower, funds on deposit in the Cash Reserve Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments that will mature so that such funds will be available at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the following Payment Date. All Eligible Investments purchased with funds from the Cash Reserve Account will be held to maturity.

(c) The Borrower shall possess all right, title and interest in all property on deposit from time to time in the Cash Reserve Account and in all proceeds thereof and all such funds, investments, proceeds, income and other property (collectively, the “Reserve Account Property”) shall be part of the Collateral. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Cash Reserve Account shall be under the control of the Paying Agent for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and Lenders. In the event that the Cash Reserve Account is not to be maintained with the Paying Agent, the Borrower shall notify the Collateral Agent in writing prior to such transfer and request the Collateral Agent’s consent to such transfer and, upon receipt of such consent, shall cause the depository to execute such control agreements and other instruments of similar import as the Collateral Agent shall have reasonably requested.

SECTION 2.18. Deposits into and Withdrawals from the Cash Reserve Account.

- 17 -

(b) No party hereto shall withdraw or otherwise remove, or permit the removal by any Person other than the Paying Agent, any funds in the Cash Reserve Account, other than in accordance with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents then in effect. No Person shall instruct the Paying Agent to withdraw or otherwise remove any funds in the Cash Reserve Account except as provided in the Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding anything in this clause (b) to the contrary, the Servicer shall instruct the Paying Agent to pay to the Borrower amounts paid into the Collection Account that are neither Contract Receivables nor other amounts required to be deposited into the Collection Account pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Servicer in enforcing a Purchased Contract that is a Defaulted Contract, to the extent not previously retained) if the Borrower or Servicer shall have notified the Lenders (with a copy to the Collateral Agent, in the case of any amount to be withdrawn from the Collection Account) in writing of the amount to be remitted to the Borrower.

(c) On the Closing Date, the Borrower shall, from the proceeds of the first Advance under the Loan Agreement, deposit into the Cash Reserve Account, an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the aggregate principal amount of all Advances advanced on such date.

(d) In the event that the monthly Servicer Report with respect to any Determination Date shall state that the available funds in the Collection Account that constitute Collections on such Determination Date are less than the sum of the amounts payable on the related Payment Date pursuant to clauses (i) through (ix) of the Priority of Payments (such deficiency being a “Deficiency Claim Amount”), then on such Determination Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Paying Agent, Collateral Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders, by hand delivery, telex or facsimile transmission, a written notice (a “Deficiency Notice”) specifying the Deficiency Claim Amount and the Cash Reserve Account Available Amount for the related Payment Date. Such Deficiency Notice shall direct the Paying Agent to remit from the Cash Reserve Account the Cash Reserve Account Available Amount for deposit in the Collection Account on such Payment Date. Upon receipt of written notice from the Collateral Agent of the occurrence of the Commitment Termination Date or during the existence of an Event of Default, the Paying Agent shall withdraw all amounts on deposit in the Cash Reserve Account and deposit them into the Collection Account for distribution on the immediately following Payment Date pursuant to the Priority of Payments. Any Deficiency Notice shall be delivered by 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Determination Date.

(e) To the extent that, on any Payment Date after giving effect to the payments required to be made on such Payment Date pursuant to clauses (i) through (ix) of the Priority of Payments, the Cash Reserve Account Available Amount exceeds the Required Cash Reserve as of such Payment Date, then on such Payment Date the Borrower shall instruct the Paying Agent in writing (with a copy to the Collateral Agent) to withdraw from the Cash Reserve Account an amount equal to such excess and pay such amount to the Borrower or its designee.

SECTION 2.19. Securities Account. The Borrower agrees that the Cash Reserve Account held by it hereunder shall each be maintained as a “securities account” as defined in the UCC as in effect in New York, and the Paying Agent hereby agrees that it is and will act as a “securities intermediary” (in such capacity, the “Securities Intermediary”) for the benefit of the Collateral Agent as the sole “entitlement holder” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(7) of the UCC)

- 18 -

with respect to such account. The parties hereto agree that the Cash Reserve Account shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, and regardless of any provision in any other agreement, the “securities intermediary’s jurisdiction” (within the meaning of Section 8-110 of the UCC) shall be the State of New York. The Securities Intermediary acknowledges and agrees that (a) each item of property (whether investment property, financial asset, security, instrument or cash) credited to the Cash Reserve Account shall be treated as a “financial asset” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC and (b) notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if at any time the Securities Intermediary shall receive any order from the Collateral Agent directing transfer or redemption of any financial asset relating to the Cash Reserve Account, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such entitlement order without further consent by Servicer, Seller, Borrower, the Lenders or any other person. In the event of any conflict of any provision of this Section 2.19 with any other provision of this Agreement or any other agreement or document, the provisions of this Section 2.19 shall prevail.

SECTION 2.20. Hedging Agreements.

(a) The Borrower shall enter into one or more Hedging Agreements with one or more hedge providers with respect to each Advance having a notional amount equal to ninety-six (96%) of the initial principal balance of such Advance. If on any Payment Date, the aggregate notional amounts of all Hedging Agreements then in effect with respect to any Advance shall be less than an amount equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the outstanding principal balance of such Advance, the Borrower shall enter one or more Hedging Agreements so as to cause such condition no longer to apply.

(b) All payments made by a hedge provider shall be deposited directly into the Collection Account.

SECTION 2.21. Duties of Paying Agent The Paying Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Paying Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties and (b) the Paying Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers. The Paying Agent may rely, and shall be protected in acting or refraining to act, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, upon and need not verify the accuracy of, (i) any written instructions or directions from any persons the Paying Agent reasonably believes to be authorized to give such instructions or directions, and (ii) any written instruction, notice, order, request, direction, certificate, opinion or other instrument or document reasonably believed by the Paying Agent to be genuine and to have been signed and presented by the proper party or parties, whether such presentation is by personal delivery, express delivery or facsimile. Except to confirm the form thereof complies with the requirements therefor set forth in the applicable Transaction Document, the Paying Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the contents of any instruction, direction, certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith.

(h) Certain Other Assignments and Participations. In addition to any other assignment or participation permitted pursuant to this Section 9.02, any Lender may assign and/or pledge all or any portion of its Advances, the other Obligations owed by or to such Lender, and its Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender, including, without limitation, to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; provided, no Lender, as between Borrower and such Lender, shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge, and provided further, in no event shall the applicable Federal Reserve Bank, pledgee or trustee be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder.

(i) Electronic Signatures, Etc. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic

- 44 -

signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

SECTION 9.03. Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

SECTION 9.04. Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Advance. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of Borrower set forth in Sections 2.09(c), 2.10, 2.11, 9.01, 9.16, 9.18 and 9.19, and the agreements of the Lenders set forth in Sections 2.04, 8.03(b), 8.06, 9.18 and 9.l9 shall survive the payment of the Advances and the termination hereof.

SECTION 9.05 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Borrower or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that Borrower makes a payment or payments to the Facility Agent or the Lenders (or to the Facility Agent, on behalf of the Lenders), or the Collateral Agent or the Lenders enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

SECTION 9.06. Obligations Several; Independent Nature of the Lenders’ Rights. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by the Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out hereof and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

SECTION 9.07. Headings. Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(c) Consent to Service of Process. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process by personal delivery, certified mail, postage prepaid or overnight courier. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH OR ARISING FROM ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN), ACTIONS OF ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OTHER RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.

SECTION 9.09. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, interest, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, interest, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, interest, power or privilege.

Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 9.10 shall be binding upon each Lender at the time outstanding, each future Lender and, if signed by Borrower, on Borrower.

SECTION 9.11. Severability. If any provision hereof is deemed void or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such voiding or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction or any other provision hereof in such or any other jurisdiction.

(i) Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by Collateral Agent and the Facility Agent, provided, the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article II if such Lender has notified the Collateral Agent and the Facility Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Section by electronic communication.

(ii) The Collateral Agent, the Facility Agent or Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

(iii) Unless the Collateral Agent or the Facility Agent otherwise prescribes, (A) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided, if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient, and (B) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (A) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

(v) Any Approved Electronic Communications are provided “as is” and “as available”. Neither the Collateral Agent, the Facility Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or representatives (the “Agent Affiliates”) warrant the accuracy, adequacy, or completeness of the Approved Electronic Communications and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Approved Electronic Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects is made by the Agent Affiliates in connection with the Approved Electronic Communications.

- 48 -

SECTION 9.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

SECTION 9.15. Servicing. Borrower, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders each consent to the appointment of the Servicer to service the Collateral pursuant to the Servicing Agreement and each of them agrees to take such actions as the Servicer reasonably requests and to execute and deliver such instruments as may reasonably be requested by the Servicer in order to effectuate the purposes and carry out the terms of the Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 9.16. Indemnification; Certain Waivers.

(a) Without limiting any other rights that any of the Indemnified Parties may have hereunder or under any applicable law, Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts, whether direct, indirect or consequential, as a result of or arising from or relating to or in connection with any of the following:

(i) the reliance by any of the Indemnified Parties on any representation or warranty made by Borrower under this Agreement that was incorrect in any respect when made or deemed made;

(ii) any breach by Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document;

(iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnified Party is a party thereto;

(iv) any commingling by Borrower of Collections with other funds of Borrower or any of its Affiliates; or

(v) any breach by Borrower of any obligation under, or any violation by Borrower of any Requirement of Law with respect to, any Purchased Contract;

provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 9.16 for any of the foregoing (x) caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party as determined by a final judgment of a court of

- 49 -

competent jurisdiction or (y) that arise out of facts and circumstances related to the Purchased Contracts occurring prior to the Effective Date. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 9.16 may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law, to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Amounts incurred by the Indemnified Parties.

(b) Each Indemnified Party shall use reasonable efforts to notify Borrower in advance of making any claim under this Section 9.16. Any Indemnified Amounts due under this Section 9.16 shall be payable when incurred and, in any event, within ten (10) Business Days of submission of a claim by the Indemnified Party. This Section 9.16 shall survive the payment of all amounts otherwise due under this Agreement.

(c) To the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower shall not assert, and Borrower hereby waives, any claim against each Lender, the Facility Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Paying Agent, the Custodian, the Back-up Servicer and their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, arising out of, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any Transaction Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Advance or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

SECTION 9.17. Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law, shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Advances made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Advances made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, Borrower shall pay to the Collateral Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of the Lenders and Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Advances made hereunder or be refunded to Borrower.

- 50 -

SECTION 9.18. No Proceedings.

(a) The Facility Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender covenants and agrees that it shall not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, or knowingly or intentionally encourage or cooperate with any other Person in instituting against, Borrower any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceeding under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States for one year and a day after the latest maturing Note has been paid.

(b) Each of Borrower, the Facility Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender hereby agrees that it shall not institute or join any other Person in instituting against, or knowingly or intentionally encourage or cooperate with any other Person in instituting against, any CP Rate Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding, or other proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and a day after the latest maturing commercial paper note, medium term note or other debt security issued by such CP Rate Lender is paid.

SECTION 9.19. No Recourse.

(a) The obligations of each CP Rate Lender under this Agreement, or any other agreement, instrument, document or certificate executed or delivered or issued by such CP Rate Lender or any officer thereof are solely the corporate, limited liability company or partnership obligations of such CP Rate Lender. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any fee or other obligations, instrument, document or certificate executed and delivered or issued by any CP Rate Lender or any officer thereof in connection therewith, against any stockholder, limited partner, employee, officer, director or incorporator of any CP Rate Lender.

(b) Each of Borrower, the Facility Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender hereby irrevocably waives all right of setoff that it may have under contract (including this Agreement), applicable law or otherwise with respect to any funds or monies of any CP Rate Lender at any time held by or in the possession of such Person.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the obligations of the CP Rate Lender under this Agreement shall be payable by the CP Rate Lender and shall constitute a claim (as defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code) against the CP Rate Lender solely to the extent of funds received by the CP Rate Lender in respect of this Agreement. In addition, no recourse shall be had against CP Rate Lender for the payment of any amounts constituting fees, a reimbursement for expenses or indemnities hereunder (collectively, “Expense Claims”), and such Expense Claims shall not constitute a claim against the CP Rate Lender (as defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code), unless or until CP Rate Lender has received amounts sufficient to pay such Expense Claims pursuant to this Agreement and such amounts are not required to pay the commercial paper and any other outstanding indebtedness of such CP Rate Lender; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall affect the rights of any Secured Party as a secured party with respect to the Collateral.

- 51 -

(d) The provisions of this Section and the parties’ respective obligations under this Section shall survive termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.20. Intent of the Parties.

The Borrower has structured the Transaction Documents with the intention that the Advances with respect to the Notes and the obligations of the Borrower hereunder will be treated under United States federal, and applicable state, local and foreign tax law as debt (the “Intended Tax Treatment”). The Borrower, LEAF III, the Facility Agent and the Lenders agree to file no tax return, or take any action, inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment. Each assignee and each participant acquiring an interest in Advances hereunder, by its acceptance of such assignment or participation, agrees to comply with the immediately preceding sentence.
