This LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT, dated as of July 2, 2007 (this “Agreement”), among LEAF III A SPE, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”), the Lenders party hereto and XXXXXXX XXXXX BANK USA, a Utah industrial bank (“MLBUSA”), as administrative agent (together with its permitted successors in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION

Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Definitions and Rules of Construction attached as Appendix A (“Appendix A”) to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement, of even date herewith, by and between LEAF Funding, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and LEAF Equipment Leasing Income Fund III, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership; provided,

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 borrowed and repaid or prepaid, but not reborrowed, 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 $100,000,000.

(b) So long as no Termination Event then exists, upon the earlier to occur of (x) five (5) days’ prior written notice by Borrower to the Administrative Agent, and (y) November 30, 2007, the Commitments shall increase by $100,000,000. The Lenders agree that such increase in the Commitments shall be a pro rata increase in the CP Advance Rate Commitments and the LIBO Rate Commitments.

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 as of such date, 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 Administrative 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 two (2) Business Days prior to the date of a proposed making of Advances. Except as otherwise provided herein, 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 Administrative Agent to each applicable Lender by Approved Electronic Communications with reasonable promptness, but (provided the Administrative Agent shall have

- 2 -

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 Administrative Agent’s receipt of such Purchase Date Notice from Borrower; otherwise, by Administrative Agent by 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately following receipt of the Purchase Date Notice.

(d) Each Lender shall make the amount of its Advance available to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 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 Administrative 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 Administrative 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 Administrative 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 Administrative 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 Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s Advance requested on such Purchase Date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such Purchase Date and the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent, at the customary rate set by the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent together with interest thereon, for each day from such Purchase Date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Base Rate plus the Facility 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.

- 3 -

(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, 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 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 Administrative 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 Administrative 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 MLBUSA 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 MLBUSA serves in such capacity, MLBUSA 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 Administrative 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 an Accrual Period at a rate equal to:

(i) with respect to each CP Rate Advance, the sum of (x) the CP Rate for the applicable CP Rate Lender on such day plus (y) the Facility Fee Rate; and

(ii) with respect to each LIBO Rate Advance, the sum of (x) the LIBO Rate for such Accrual Period plus (y) the Facility Fee 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.

SECTION 2.06. Default Interest. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon the occurrence of a Termination Event 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 Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, 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. Borrower may, without penalty or premium, prepay the principal of any Advance, in whole or in part and together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice.

(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 Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon (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 Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender at such 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 Administrative Agent.

- 5 -

(e) Subject to the provisos set forth in the definition of “Accrual Period”, 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 or of the Unused Fees hereunder (but shall not be included in computing the length of the immediately succeeding accrual period); provided that no Unused Fees shall be payable for any day prior to and including November 30, 2007.

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

(g) The Administrative Agent shall deem any payment by or on behalf of Borrower hereunder that is not made in same day funds prior to 12:00 noon (New York City time) to be a non-conforming payment. Any such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds, and (ii) the applicable next Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic notice to Borrower and each applicable Lender (confirmed in writing) if any payment is non-conforming. Any non-conforming payment may constitute or become a Termination Event. Interest shall continue to accrue on any principal 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 a Termination Event shall have occurred and the Obligations shall have been accelerated, all payments or proceeds received by the Administrative 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 Administrative 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

- 6 -

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. Making or Maintaining LIBO Rate Advances; Breakage.

(a) Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), with respect to any LIBO Rate Advances, that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such Advances on the basis provided for in the definition of LIBO Rate, the Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower and each Lender of such determination, whereupon (i) no Advances may be made as LIBO Rate Advances until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, and (ii) any Purchase Date Notice given by Borrower with respect to the Advances in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded by Borrower.

(b) Illegality or Impracticability of LIBO Rate Advances. In the event that on any date any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation with Borrower and the Administrative Agent) that the making, maintaining or continuation of its LIBO Rate Advances (i) has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or (ii) has become impracticable, as a result of contingencies occurring after the date hereof which materially and adversely affect the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in that market, then, and in any such event, such Lender shall be an “Affected Lender” and it shall on that day give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Thereafter (1) the obligation of the Affected Lender to make Advances as LIBO Rate Advances shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by the Affected Lender, (2) to the extent such determination by the Affected Lender relates to a LIBO Rate Advance then being requested by Borrower pursuant to a Purchase Date Notice, the Affected Lender shall make such Advance as (or continue such Advance as or convert such Advance to, as the case may be) a Base Rate Advance, (3) the Affected Lender’s obligation to maintain its outstanding LIBO Rate Advances (the “Affected Advances”) shall be terminated at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Accrual Period then in effect with respect to the Affected Advances or when required by law, and (4) the Affected Advances shall automatically convert into Base Rate Advances on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by an

- 7 -

Affected Lender as described above relates to a LIBO Rate Advance then being requested by Borrower pursuant to a Purchase Date Notice, Borrower shall have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 2.09(c), to rescind such Purchase Date Notice as to all of the Lenders by giving notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which the Affected Lender gives notice of its determination as described above (which notice of rescission the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this Section 2.09(b) shall affect the obligation of any Lender other than an Affected Lender to make or maintain Advances as LIBO Rate Advances in accordance with the terms hereof.

(c) Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Accrual Periods. In the event of (i) the payment or prepayment (voluntary or otherwise) of any principal of any Advance on any day other than a Payment Date applicable thereto (including as a result of a Termination Event), or (ii) the failure to borrow or prepay any Advance on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, then, in any such event, Borrower shall compensate the applicable each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.09(c) shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.

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 LIBO Rate Advances 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

- 8 -

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 Administrative 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 Administrative 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.

- 9 -

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 of America or any political subdivision in or of the United States of America 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 Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Transaction Documents: (i) Borrower shall notify the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be) on behalf of and in the name of the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due date 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 Administrative 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 Internal Revenue Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “Non-US Lender”) shall deliver to the Administrative 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 Administrative 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

- 10 -

Internal Revenue 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 Internal Revenue 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 Internal Revenue 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 Internal Revenue Code) for United States federal income tax purposes (a “U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to Administrative 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 deliver to the Administrative 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 Internal Revenue 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 Administrative 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 Administrative 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.

- 11 -

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 cause such Lender to become an Affected Lender or that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under Section 2.09, 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, including any Affected 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 such Lender to be an Affected Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.09, 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 Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.13. Replacement of a Lender. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any Lender (an “Increased-Cost Lender”) shall give notice to Borrower that such Lender is an Affected Lender or that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under Section 2.10, 2.11 or 2.12, the circumstances which have caused such Lender to be an Affected Lender or which entitle such Lender to receive such payments shall remain in effect, and such Lender shall fail to withdraw such notice within five Business Days after Borrower’s request for such withdrawal; then, with respect to each such Increased-Cost Lender, Borrower may, by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent and any Increased Cost Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Increased Cost Lender (and such Increased Cost Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Advances and its Commitments, if any, in full to one or more Eligible Assignees (each a “Replacement Lender”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.02 and Borrower shall pay the fees, if any, payable thereunder in connection with any such assignment; provided, (1) on the date of such assignment, the Replacement Lender shall pay to Increased Cost Lender an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Advances of the Increased Cost Lender; and (2) on the date of such assignment, Borrower shall pay any amounts payable to such Increased Cost Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(c), 2.11 or 2.12 or otherwise as if it were a prepayment. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Increased Cost Lender and the termination of such Increased Cost Lender’s Commitments, if any, such Increased Cost Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such Increased Cost Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Increased Cost Lender.

SECTION 2.14. Incremental Commitments.

(a) Prior to the Commitment Termination Date, Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request an increase to the existing Commitments (any such

- 12 -

increase, any “Incremental Commitment”); provided, this Section 2.14 shall not apply to any increase in the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.01(b).

(b) Any such requested increase shall be a pro rata increase in the CP Advance Rate Commitments and the LIBO Rate Commitments.

(c) 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 Administrative Agent, which consent shall be in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (each approved Person, if any, an “Incremental Lender”).

(d) 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.

(e) Each Incremental Commitment shall become effective as of the date agreed to among Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Incremental Lenders (the “Incremental Increase Date”), so long as (i) no Termination Event shall exist on such Incremental Increase Date before or after giving effect to such Incremental Commitments; (ii) the Incremental Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more joinder agreements, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and each of which shall be recorded in the Register and shall be subject to the requirements set forth in Section 2.11(c); and (iii) Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction.

(f) On any Incremental Increase Date, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each Lender having an existing Commitment of a Class of Advances shall assign to each of the Incremental Lenders having a Commitment of such Class of Advances, and each such Incremental Lender shall purchase from each such Lender, at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued interest), such interests in the Class of Advances outstanding on the Incremental Increase Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Class of Advances will be held by such Lenders having existing Commitments of such Class of Advances and Incremental Lenders ratably in accordance with their Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such Incremental Commitments to the Commitments; (ii) each Incremental Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Commitment of a Class of Advances and each Advance made thereunder (an “Incremental Advance”) shall be deemed, for all purposes, an Advance of such Class and (iii) each Incremental Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the Incremental Commitment and all matters relating thereto.

(g) The Administrative 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 CP Rate Exposure or LIBO Rate Exposure, as the case may be, the respective interests in such Lender’s Advances, in each case subject to the assignments contemplated by this Section 2.14.

- 13 -

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

(i) Each agreement pursuant to which any Incremental Commitments and Incremental Advances are effected may, without the consent (subject to Section 9.10) of any the Lenders but with the consent of Borrower, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provision of this Section 2.14.

TERMINATION EVENTS

SECTION 6.01. Termination Events. Upon the occurrence of (x) any Termination Event described in clause (c) of the definition thereof, automatically, and (y) any other Termination Event, at the request of (or with the consent of) the Required Lenders, upon notice to Borrower by the Administrative Agent:

(a) the Commitments shall immediately terminate;

(b) the aggregate principal of all Advances, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, all fees and all other Obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall become due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower; and

(c) the Administrative Agent shall exercise any and all of its other rights and remedies under applicable law (including the UCC) or at equity, hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents.

SECTION 6.02. Remedies. If any Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing:

(a) The Administrative Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and also may (i) require Borrower to, and Borrower hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Administrative Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Administrative Agent and make it

- 22 -

available to the Administrative Agent at a place or places to be designated by the Administrative Agent which is reasonably convenient to both parties and (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Administrative Agent’ offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Borrower agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to Borrower of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Borrower hereby waives any claims against the Administrative Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Obligations, even if the Administrative Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree and waives all rights which Borrower may have to require that all or any part of the Collateral be marshalled upon any sale (public or private) thereof.

(b) Any cash held by the Administrative Agent as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by the Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of or collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter applied in whole or in part by the Administrative Agent against, all or any part of the Obligations.

(c) In the event that the proceeds of any such sale, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Administrative Agent are legally entitled, Borrower shall be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the highest rate specified in any applicable Transaction Document for interest on overdue principal thereof or such other rate as shall be fixed by applicable law, together with the costs of collection and the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of any attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent to collect such deficiency.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall have, in addition to any rights and remedies under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral available to it under applicable law or at equity, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.

ARTICLE VII

SECURITY AGREEMENT

SECTION 7.01. Grant of Security Interest. As collateral security for all of the Obligations, Borrower hereby pledges and assigns to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, continuing security interest in, all of the following property of Borrower, whether now or hereafter existing and whether now owned or hereafter acquired, tangible or intangible,

(a) the Purchased Contracts;

(b) the Contract Receivables;

(d) each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party or under which it has any right, remedy, privilege or interest; and

SECTION 7.02. Security for Obligations. The security interest created hereby in the Collateral constitutes continuing collateral security for all of the Obligations, whether now existing or hereafter incurred.

SECTION 7.03. Further Assurances.

(a) Borrower hereby covenants that, until the termination of this Agreement, Borrower shall, from time to time, at the expense of Borrower, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary, or that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order to create and/or maintain the validity, perfection or priority of and protect any security interest granted hereby or to enable the Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower shall:

(i) file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and execute and deliver such other agreements, instruments, endorsements, powers of attorney or notices, as may be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect and preserve the security interests granted or purported to be granted hereby;

(ii) at any reasonable time, following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Termination Event, upon request by the Administrative Agent, assemble the Collateral and allow inspection of the Collateral by the Administrative Agent, or persons designated by the Administrative Agent; and

(iii) at the Administrative Agent’s reasonable request, appear in and defend any action or proceeding that may affect Borrower’s title to or the Administrative Agent’s security interest in all or any part of the Collateral in any material respect.

- 24 -

(b) Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file a Record or Records, including, without limitation, financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, in any jurisdictions and with any filing offices as the Administrative Agent may determine, in its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable to perfect the security interest granted to the Administrative Agent herein. Such financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as the Administrative Agent may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Administrative Agent herein. Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.

SECTION 7.04. Power of Attorney. If a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of Borrower and in the name of Borrower, the Administrative Agent or otherwise, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the following:

(a) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Termination Event, to obtain and adjust insurance required to be maintained by Borrower or paid to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement;

(b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Termination Event, to ask for, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;

(c) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Termination Event, to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Administrative Agent with respect to any of the Collateral;

(d) to prepare and file any UCC financing statements against Borrower as debtor;

(e) to take or cause to be taken all actions necessary to perform or comply or cause performance or compliance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, access to pay or discharge taxes or Liens (other than Permitted Liens) levied or placed upon or threatened against the Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to discharge the same to be determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, any such payments made by the Administrative Agent to become obligations of Borrower to the Administrative Agent, due and payable immediately without demand; and

(f) if otherwise permitted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any

- 25 -

of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Administrative Agent’s option and Borrower’s expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and things that the Administrative Agent deems reasonably necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Administrative Agent’s security interest therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Borrower might do.

SECTION 7.05. No Duty on the Part of the Administrative Agent or Secured Parties. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect the interests of the Secured Parties in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Borrower for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

SECTION 8.04. Administrative Agent Entitled to Act as Lender. The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder. With respect to its participation in the Advances, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as if it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term “Lender” shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

SECTION 8.05. Lenders’ Representations and Warranties. Each Lender represents and warrants that it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Borrower in connection with the Advances hereunder and that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Borrower and the Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of the Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Advances or at any time or times thereafter, and the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to the Lenders.

SECTION 8.06. Right to Indemnity. Each Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, to the extent that the Administrative Agent shall not have been reimbursed by Borrower, for and against any and all liabilities,

- 28 -

obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements, whether incurred in a third party action or in an action to enforce this agreement or any other Transaction Document) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents or otherwise in its capacity as the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out hereof or the other Transaction Documents; provided, no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any indemnity furnished to the Administrative Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided, in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify the Administrative Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof; and provided further, this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify the Administrative Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement described in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence.

SECTION 8.07. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and Borrower. Upon any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, upon five Business Days’ notice to Borrower, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent (and, failing such appointment, the retiring administrative agent may appoint a successor administrative agent among the Lenders or any other financial institution on behalf of the Lenders). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent shall promptly (a) transfer to such successor Administrative Agent all sums, Securities and other items of Collateral held under the Transaction Documents, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Administrative Agent under the Transaction Documents, and (b) execute and deliver to such successor Administrative Agent such amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Administrative Agent of the security interests created under the Transaction Documents, whereupon such retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent hereunder.

SECTION 8.08. Collateral.

(a) Administrative Agent under Collateral Documents. Each Secured Party hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the benefit of Secured Parties, to be the agent for and representative of the Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral

- 29 -

and the Transaction Documents. Subject to Section 9.10, without further written consent or authorization from any Secured Party, the Administrative Agent may execute any documents or instruments necessary in connection with a sale or disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement, release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of such sale or other disposition of assets or to which Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 9.10) have otherwise consented.

(b) Right to Realize on Collateral. Anything contained in any of the Transaction Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Administrative Agent at such sale or other disposition.

- 30 -

successors and assigns of the Lenders and permitted assigns of Borrower and the Administrative Agent. None of Borrower’s rights or obligations hereunder nor any interest therein may be assigned or delegated by Borrower without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, Affiliates of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement; provided, LEAF Funding and LEAF III are third party beneficiaries of all provisions of this Agreement with respect to Borrower and are entitled to enforce the provisions hereof against the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as if each were a party hereto.

Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as the Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the corresponding Commitments and Advances listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Commitment or Advance shall be effective, in each case, unless and until recorded in the Register following receipt of an Assignment Agreement effecting the assignment or transfer thereof, in each case, as provided in Section 9.02(d). The Lender selling, assigning or transferring all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing fee of $3,500, which processing fee shall be waived for assignments of interest to any Person meeting the criteria of clause (i) of the definition of the term of “Eligible Assignee” of such Lender.

The date of such recordation of a transfer shall be referred to herein as the “Assignment Effective Date”. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Commitments or Advances.

(c) Right to Assign. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment or Advances owing to it or other Obligations (provided, pro rata assignments shall not be required, but each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any Advance and any related Commitment):

(i) to any Person meeting the criteria of clause (i) of the definition of the term of “Eligible Assignee” upon the giving of notice to Borrower and the Administrative Agent; and

(ii) to any Person meeting the criteria of clause (ii) of the definition of the term of “Eligible Assignee” and consented to by each of Borrower and the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be (x) unreasonably withheld or delayed or, (y) in the case of Borrower, required at any time a Termination Event shall have occurred and then be continuing); provided, further each such assignment pursuant to this Section 9.02(c)(ii) shall be in an aggregate amount of

- 31 -

not less than $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by Borrower and the Administrative Agent or as shall constitute the aggregate amount of the Commitments and Advances of the assigning Lender) with respect to the assignment of the Commitments and Advances.

(d) Mechanics. Assignments and assumptions of Advances and Commitments shall only be effected by execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent of an Assignment Agreement. Assignments made pursuant to the foregoing provision shall be effective as of the Assignment Effective Date. In connection with all assignments there shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent such forms, certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as the assignee under such Assignment Agreement may be required to deliver pursuant to Section 2.11(c)

(e) Representations and Warranties of Assignee. Each Lender, upon execution and delivery hereof or upon succeeding to an interest in the Commitments and Advances, as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the Closing Date or as of the Assignment Effective Date that (i) it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) it has experience and expertise in the making of or investing in commitments or loans such as the applicable Commitments or Advances, as the case may be; and (iii) it will make or invest in, as the case may be, its Commitments or Advances for its own account in the ordinary course of its business and without a view to distribution of such Commitments or Advances within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Section 9.02, the disposition of such Commitments or Advances or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control).

(f) Effect of Assignment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 9.02, as of the Assignment Effective Date (i) the assignee thereunder shall have the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder to the extent of its interest in the Advances and Commitments as reflected in the Register and shall thereafter be a party hereto and a “Lender” for all purposes hereof; (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to the assignee, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto on the Assignment Effective Date); provided, anything contained in any of the Transaction Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, such assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of all indemnities hereunder as specified herein with respect to matters arising out of the prior involvement of such assigning Lender as a Lender hereunder; (iii) the Commitments shall be modified to reflect the Commitment of such assignee and any Commitment of such assigning Lender, if any; and (iv) if any such assignment occurs after the issuance of any Note hereunder, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its applicable Notes to the Administrative Agent for cancellation, and thereupon Borrower shall issue and deliver new Notes, if so requested by the assignee and/or assigning Lender, to such assignee and/or to such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the new Commitments and/or outstanding Advances of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with clauses (b)

- 32 -

through (f) of this Section 9.02 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (g).

(g) Participations. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell one or more participations to any Person (other than Borrower or any of its Affiliates) in all or any part of its Commitments, Advances or in any other Obligation; provided, such participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.08 as though it were a Lender.

(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 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 a Termination Event 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 and 9.16, and the agreements of the Lenders set forth in Sections 2.04, 8.03(b) and 8.06 shall survive the payment of the Advances and the termination hereof.

- 33 -

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.

SECTION 9.08. Governing Law, Jurisdiction, Consent to Service of Process, Waiver of Jury Trial.

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

Except as expressly otherwise provided herein, the rights, remedies, interests, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exhaustive of any rights, remedies, interests, powers and privileges provided by law.

SECTION 9.10. Amendments, Waivers and Consents.

(a) Required Lenders’ Consent. Subject to the additional requirements of Sections 9.10(b) and 9.10(c), no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of the Transaction Documents, or consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of the Required Lenders; provided, no such amendment shall be effective without the prior written consent of LEAF Funding and LEAF III if the effect of such amendment has or would reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on the third party beneficiary rights of LEAF Funding or LEAF III hereunder; provided, further, the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of Borrower only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, so long as such amendment, modification or supplement does not adversely affect the rights of any Lender.

(b) Affected Lenders’ Consent. Without the written consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) that would be affected thereby, no amendment, modification, termination, or consent shall be effective if the effect thereof would:

(d) Execution of Amendments, etc. The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 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.

- 36 -

(a) Notices. Except where telephonic instructions or notices are specifically authorized, all notices, demands, instructions and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be personally delivered or sent by first class or express mail, postage prepaid, national overnight courier service, hand delivery or by facsimile transmission or other electronic communication device capable of transmitting or creating a written record and shall be deemed to be given for purposes of this Agreement on the day that the writing is delivered or sent to its intended recipient.

(b) Electronic Communications.

(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 Administrative Agent, provided, the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article II if such Lender has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Section by electronic communication.

(ii) The Administrative 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 Administrative 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.

(iv) Borrower understands that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution and agrees and assumes the risks associated with such electronic distribution, except to the extent caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Administrative Agent.

(v) Any Approved Electronic Communications are provided “as is” and “as available”. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers,

- 37 -

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.

(vi) Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent agree that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, store any Approved Electronic Communications in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s customary document retention procedures and policies.

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 9.14. Termination. This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until the later of the repayment in full of Borrower’s Obligations.

SECTION 9.15. Servicing. Borrower, the Administrative 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;

- 38 -

(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 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 9.17 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 Administrative Agent 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

- 39 -

shall pay to the Administrative 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.

SECTION 9.18. No Proceedings.

(a) The Administrative 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 Administrative 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 Administrative 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 in this Agreement to the contrary, a CP Rate Lender shall not have any obligation to pay amount required to be paid by it hereunder in excess of any amount available to such CP Rate Lender after paying or making provision for the payment of its CP; and each of the other parties hereto agrees that it will not have a claim under Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code if and to the extent that any such payment obligation

- 40 -

owed to it by such CP Rate Lender exceeds the amount available to such CP Rate Lender to pay such amount after paying or making provision for the payment of its CP.
