ARTICLE II SALE AND CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION
Section 2.01 Sale and Capital Contribution of Leases and Equipment, Lease
Receivables.
By their execution and delivery of this Transferor Contribution and Sale
Agreement, the Transferor hereby sells, contributes and assigns to the Issuer,
and the Issuer hereby acquires from the Transferor without recourse (except to
the extent of the Transferor's purchase obligations as set forth herein), all of
the Transferor's right, title and interest in and to each of the Leases and the
Lease Receivables (including the right to receive all payments due or to become
due thereunder since the Cut-Off Date), or the related Transfer Date with
respect to Additional Leases or Substitute Leases. The Transferor and the Issuer
each acknowledge and confirm that contemporaneously with the sale and the
contribution of the Leases as hereinabove provided, the Transferor, as a holder
of beneficial interests in the Issuer, is selling, contributing and transferring
to the Issuer, and in connection with each transfer and assignment of Additional
Leases and Substitute Leases the Transferor will sell, contribute and transfer
to the Issuer, without recourse, all right, title and interest of the Transferor
in and to each item of Equipment
2
subject to each Lease, Additional Lease and Substitute Lease. After such sale,
contribution and transfer by the Transferor to the Issuer, all right, title and
interest of the Transferor in and to each item of Equipment subject to each
Lease shall be vested in the Issuer. In each instance, the transfer of the
Leases, the Lease Receivables and the Equipment shall be regarded as a sale,
however to the extent that the sale price for the Lease, the Lease Receivables
and the Equipment is less than the fair market value thereof, the difference
shall be deemed to be a capital contribution by the Transferor to the Issuer.
Section 2.02 Treatment as a Sale and Contribution; Grant of Security
Interest.
It is the intention of the parties hereto that each transfer of Leases,
Additional Leases, Substitute Leases, Lease Payments and all other amounts due
or becoming due with respect thereto and Equipment (or interests therein) being
made hereunder shall constitute a sale and a capital contribution, as described
in Section 2.01 hereof, and not a loan. The Transferor shall not take any action
inconsistent with the treatment of such transfers as sales and capital
contributions, as described in Section 2.01 hereof, or with the Issuer's
ownership of the Leases, the Lease Receivables and all other amounts due or
becoming due with respect thereto and the interests in the Equipment. The
Transferor shall indicate in its records that ownership of each of the Leases,
the Lease Receivables and the interests in the Equipment is held by the Issuer,
and each shall respond to any inquiries from third parties by indicating that
its ownership in the Leases, Additional Leases, Substitute Leases, the Lease
Receivables and all other amounts due or becoming due with respect thereto and
the interests in the Equipment is held by the Issuer. In the event, however,
that a court of competent jurisdiction were to hold that any transaction
evidenced hereby constitutes a loan and not a capital contribution, it is the
intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement shall constitute a security
agreement under applicable law and that the Issuer shall be deemed to have been
granted a first priority security interest in (a) the Leases and all Lease
Payments, Casualty Payments, Termination Payments, and other amounts now due or
becoming due with respect thereto since the Cut-Off Date (other than any
prepayments of rent required pursuant to the terms of any Lease at or before the
commencement of the Lease and any payments due before the Cut-Off Date) and all
Additional Leases and Substitute Leases and all Lease Payments, Casualty
Payments, Termination Payments and other amounts due or becoming due with
respect thereto since the effective date of their respective addition or
substitution (other than any prepayments of rent required by the terms of any
Lease at or before the commencement of the Lease and any payments due before the
effective date of such addition or substitution), (b) all rights of the Issuer
to or under any guarantees of or collateral (including all rights of the Issuer
in any security deposits) for the Lessee's obligations under any Lease, (c) all
interests of the Issuer in the Equipment at any time subject to any Lease
including any security interest of the Transferor in the Equipment and (d) all
proceeds of the conversion, whether voluntary or involuntary, of any of the
foregoing into cash or other property.

under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation,
(b) has all requisite power and authority and all necessary licenses and
permits to own and operate its properties and to carry on its business
as now conducted (except where the failure to have such licenses and
permits would not have a material adverse effect on the business or
condition (financial or otherwise) of the Transferor or impair the
enforceability of any Lease) and to enter into and perform its
obligations under this Transferor Contribution and Sale Agreement, and
the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Transferor's
support obligations hereunder, and
(c) has duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good
standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where the
character of its properties or the nature of its activities makes such
qualification necessary (except where the failure to be so qualified
or in good standing would not have a material adverse effect on the
Pool of Assets or the business or condition (financial or otherwise)
of the Transferor or impair the enforceability of any Lease).
Section 3.02 Business and Property.
The Prospectus and the Private Placement Memoranda, accurately describe in
all material respects the general nature of the business of the Transferor.

Substitute Lease, as of the Cut-Off Date, or with respect to any Additional
Lease or any Substitute Lease, as of the related Transfer Date, the Transferor
represents and warrants that each Lease shall comply with the following:

limitation, the statistical and descriptive information with respect to the
initial Leases, Lessees and Equipment), as of their respective dates, do not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit a material fact

circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. There is no fact
peculiar to the Transferor or any Affiliate of the Transferor or, to the
knowledge of the Transferor, any Lease, Lessee or item of Equipment, which the
Transferor has not or will not disclose in the Prospectus or the Private

ability of the Transferor to perform the transactions contemplated by this
Transferor Contribution and Sale Agreement.
Section 3.07 Pending Litigation.

resulting from the ownership or use of any of the Equipment, which, individually
or in the aggregate, involve the possibility of materially and adversely
affecting the properties, business, prospects, profits or condition (financial
or otherwise) of the Transferor and its subsidiaries, or the ability of the

7

right to receive all payments due or to become due thereunder) and the interest
in the Equipment will be free and clear of all Liens, except the Lien on the
Granted Assets in favor of the Trustee granted pursuant to the Indenture (or the
Lien in favor of the Issuer which is assigned to the Trustee pursuant to the
Indenture).
Section 3.09 Transactions Legal and Authorized.
The transfer by the Transferor of all of its right, title and interest in
and to each item of Equipment and each Lease (including the right to receive all
payments due or to become due thereunder) and compliance by the Transferor with
all of the provisions of this Transferor Contribution and Sale Agreement:
(a) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part
of the Transferor, and do not require any stockholder approval, or approval or
consent of any trustee or holders of any indebtedness or obligations of the
Transferor except such as have been duly obtained;
(b) are within the corporate powers of the Transferor; and
(c) are legal and will not conflict with, result in any breach in any of
the provisions of, constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any
Lien upon any property of the Transferor under the provisions of, any agreement,
charter, instrument, by-law or other instrument to which the Transferor is a
party or by which it or its property may be bound or result in the violation of
any law, regulation, rule, order or judgment applicable to the Transferor or its
properties, or any order to which the Transferor or its properties is subject,
of or by any government or governmental agency or authority.
Section 3.10 Governmental Consent.
No consent, approval or authorization of, or filing, registration or
qualification with, any governmental authority is necessary or required on the
part of the Transferor in connection with the execution and delivery of this
Transferor Contribution and Sale Agreement or the contribution of the Leases and
Equipment.
Section 3.11 Taxes.
(a) All tax returns required to be filed by the Transferor or any
subsidiary in any jurisdiction have in fact been filed, and all taxes,
assessments, fees and other governmental charges upon the Transferor or any
subsidiary, or upon any of their respective properties, income or franchises,
shown to be due and payable on such returns have been paid. To the best of the
Transferor's knowledge all such tax returns were true and correct and neither
the Transferor nor
8
any subsidiary knows of any proposed additional tax assessment against it in any
material amount nor of any basis therefor.
(b) The provisions for taxes on the books of the Transferor and each of its
subsidiaries are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Section 3.12 Compliance with Law.
The Transferor:
(a) is not in violation of any laws, ordinances, governmental rules
or regulations to which it is subject;

other governmental authorizations necessary to the ownership of
its property or to the conduct of its business; and
(c) is not in violation in any material respect of any term of any
agreement, charter instrument, by-law or other instrument to
which it is a party or by which it may be bound, which violation
or failure to obtain might materially adversely affect the
business or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Transferor
and its subsidiaries.
Section 3.13 Ability to Perform.
At the date hereof, the Transferor does not believe, nor does it have any
reasonable cause to believe, that it cannot perform each and every covenant
contained in this Transferor Contribution and Sale Agreement.
Section 3.14 Ordinary Course; No Insolvency.
The transactions contemplated by the Notes, the Indenture and this
Transferor Contribution and Sale Agreement are being consummated by the
Transferor in furtherance of the Transferor's ordinary business purposes and
constitute a practical and reasonable course of action by the Transferor
designed to improve the financial position of the Transferor, with no
contemplation of insolvency and with no intent to hinder, delay or defraud any
of its present or future creditors. The Transferor will not, either as a result
of the transaction contemplated by this Transferor Contribution and Sale
Agreement, or immediately before or after such transaction, be insolvent or have
an unreasonably small capital for the conduct of its business and the payment of
anticipated obligations.
Section 3.15 Assets and Liabilities.
(a) Both immediately before and after any transfer of Leases (including the
right to receive all payments due or to become due thereunder) and the transfer
of the interests in the Equipment contemplated by this Transferor Contribution
and Sale Agreement, the present fair salable value of the Transferor's assets
was or will be in excess of the amount that will be
9
required to pay the Transferor's probable liabilities as they then exist and as
they become absolute and matured; and
(b) Both immediately before and after any transfer of Leases (including the
right to receive all payments due or to become due thereunder) and the transfer
of the interests in the Equipment contemplated by this Transferor Contribution
and Sale Agreement, the sum of the Transferor's assets was or will be greater
than the sum of the Transferor's debts, valuing the Transferor's assets at a
fair salable value.
Section 3.16 Fair Consideration.
The consideration received by the Transferor, in exchange for the Leases
(including the right to receive all payments due or to become due thereunder)
and the transfer of its interests in the Equipment, is fair consideration having
value equivalent to or in excess of the value of the assets being transferred by
the Transferor.
Section 3.17 Ability to Pay Debts.
Neither as a result of the transaction contemplated by this Transferor
Contribution and Sale Agreement nor otherwise does the Transferor believe that
it will incur debts beyond its ability to pay or which would be prohibited by
its charter documents or by-laws. The Transferor's assets and cash flow enable
it to meet its present obligations in the ordinary course of business as they
become due.
Section 3.18 Bulk Transfer Provisions.
The transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Leases and its interests in
the Equipment by the Transferor pursuant to this Transferor Contribution and
Sale Agreement is not subject to the bulk transfer or any similar statutory
provisions in effect in any applicable jurisdiction.
Section 3.19 Transfer Taxes.
The transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Leases (including all
payments due or to become due thereunder) and its interests in the Equipment by
the Transferor pursuant to this Transferor Contribution and Sale Agreement is
not subject to and will not result in any tax, fee or governmental charge
payable by the Transferor to any federal, state or local government ("Transfer
Taxes"). In the event that the Issuer receives actual notice of any Transfer
Taxes arising out of the transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Leases
and/or its interests in the Equipment, on written demand by the Issuer, or upon
the Transferor otherwise being given notice thereof, the Transferor shall pay,
and otherwise indemnify and hold the Issuer, the Trustee and the holders of the
Notes harmless, on an after-tax basis, from and against any and all such
Transfer Taxes (it being understood that the holders of the Notes and the
Trustee shall have no obligation to pay such Transfer Taxes).
10
Section 3.20 Principal Executive Office.
The principal executive office of the Transferor is located at 000 Xxxxx
Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000.
Section 3.21 Contribution Treatment.
The Transferor will treat the transfer to the Issuer of the Leases and the
Lease Receivables as a capital contribution and absolute assignment for tax
reporting and accounting purposes.
Section 3.22 Nonconsolidation.
The Transferor is and at all times since its incorporation has been
operated in such a manner that it would not be substantively consolidated with
the Issuer, such that the separate existence of the Transferor and the Issuer
would be disregarded in the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of the
Transferor or the Issuer, and in such regard:
(a) the Transferor is not involved in the day-to-day management of the
Issuer;
(b) the Transferor maintains separate corporate records and books of
account from the Issuer and otherwise observes corporate formalities and has a
separate business office from the Issuer;
(c) the financial statements and books and records of the Transferor
prepared after the Issuance Date will reflect the separate existence of the
Issuer;
(d) the Transferor maintains its assets separately from the assets of the
Issuer (including through the maintenance of a separate bank account), the
Transferor's funds and assets, and records relating thereto, have not been and
are not commingled with those of the Issuer and the separate creditors of the
Transferor and the Issuer will be entitled to be satisfied out of the
Transferor's and the Issuer's assets prior to any value in the Transferor or the
Issuer becoming available to the Issuer's equityholders or the Transferor's
creditors;
(e) all business correspondence of the Transferor and other communications
are conducted in the Transferor's own name and on its own stationery; and
(f) the Issuer does not act as an agent of the Transferor in any capacity
and the Transferor does not act as agent for the Issuer, but instead presents
itself to the public as a corporation separate from the Issuer.
ARTICLE IV THE TRANSFEROR
Section 4.01 Merger or Consolidation of the Transferor.
The Transferor will keep in full force and effect its existence, rights and
franchise as a corporation under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation
and will preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in

any time to substitute one or more Eligible Leases and the Equipment subject
thereto (each, a "Substitute Lease") for a Lease (for purposes of this Article V
referred to as a "Predecessor Lease") and the Equipment subject thereto if:

Subject to the satisfaction of the requirements set forth in Section
5.01(b) hereof, in the event of an Early Lease Termination which has been
prepaid in full, the Issuer will have the option to reinvest the proceeds of
such Early Termination Lease in one or more Additional Leases. The purchase
price of such Additional Lease or Leases will be an amount equal to the proceeds
of such Early Termination Lease.
(b) Each transfer of Substitute Leases and addition of Additional Leases
will be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:
13
(i) the final payment on such Substitute Lease or Additional Lease must be

Balance of the Leases will not be materially less than the aggregate
scheduled Lease Payments of the Leases and the Discounted Lease Balance of
the Leases, respectively prior to such substitution or addition or
adjustment;
(iii) after giving effect to such adjustments, additions and substitutions,
the Discounted Lease Balance of the Leases must not be less than the

substitution or addition; and
(iv) after giving effect to such adjustments, additions, and substitutions
pursuant to Article IV, the weighted average remaining term of the Leases
must not be greater than the weighted average remaining term of the Leases
prior to such adjustment, addition, and substitution.
(c) Each addition and substitution pursuant to this Section 5.01 shall
include the right to receive all amounts due or to become due under each
Substitute Lease being substituted or Additional Leases being purchased and any
security deposits paid by the related Lessee to the Transferor in connection
therewith (other than any prepayments of rent required pursuant to the terms
thereof at or before the commencement of such Lease and any payments due before
the Transfer Date as to which such substitution or addition is made). At the
time of each such substitution and addition, the Transferor shall transfer to
the Trustee all Lease Payments actually received by the Transferor which became
due on or after the related Transfer Date.
Section 5.02 Procedure.
(a) By 11:00 A.M. on the third Business Day following each Transfer Date,
the Transferor shall give written notice to the Servicer of any substitution
pursuant to Section 5.01 of Substitute Leases for Predecessor Leases or addition
of Additional Leases for Early Termination Leases which have been prepaid in
full during the preceding Collection Period. By 11:00 A.M. on the fourth
Business Day following each Payment Date, the Transferor shall deliver to the
Servicer and the Trustee and, to the extent not included in the Monthly Servicer
Report, the Trustee shall promptly deliver to each Rating Agency (i) a
supplement to Exhibit A hereto setting forth the information shown thereon for
each such Substitute Lease and Additional Lease, (ii) an Officer's Certificate
(A) certifying that each such Substitute Lease and Additional Lease is an
"Eligible Lease", (B) specifying each Predecessor Lease for which a substitution
has been made and each Early Termination Lease which is being replaced by an
Additional Lease and the amount of each periodic Lease Payment under each such
Predecessor Lease and the amount of each periodic Lease Payment under each
Additional Lease and Substitute Lease being transferred thereby and (C) that all
conditions precedent to such addition or substitution have been satisfied and
(iii) such additional information concerning such Additional Leases, Substitute
Leases, Early Termination Leases or Predecessor Leases as may be needed for the
Servicer to
14
prepare its monthly reports pursuant to the Servicing Agreement and to otherwise
carry out its duties as servicer under the Servicing Agreement.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 5.03, the delivery of any
Officer's Certificate and supplement to Exhibit A pursuant to Section 5.02(a)
shall be conclusive evidence, without further act or deed, that during the
immediately preceding Collection Period (i) the Transferor assigned to the
Issuer, as a sale and a capital contribution in accordance with Section 2.01
hereof to the extent made under Section 5.01(a)(i)(A) or (C) hereof all of the
Transferor's right, title and interest in and to the Substitute Leases and
Additional Leases identified in such supplement and the related rights described
in Section 5.01 hereof, (ii) the Transferor assigned to the Issuer, as a sale
and a capital contribution in accordance with Section 2.01 hereof to the extent
made under Section 5.01(a)(i)(A) or (C), all of the Transferor's right, title
and interest in and to the Equipment subject to such Substitute Leases and
Additional Leases (to the extent of the Transferor's interest in such Equipment,
including the Transferor's security interest in any Equipment which is not owned
by the Transferor), and (iii) the Issuer assigned and transferred to the
Transferor, without representation or warranty, all of the Issuer's right, title
and interest in and to the Predecessor Leases and Early Termination Leases
identified in such Officer's Certificate and the Equipment subject thereto (to
the extent of the Issuer's interest in such Equipment, including the Issuer's
security interest in any Equipment which is not owned by the Issuer). The
Transferor shall promptly cause to be delivered to the Trustee (or a custodian
on its behalf) the original executed counterpart of each Substitute Lease and
Additional Lease assigned to the Issuer pursuant to Section 5.01 hereof and the
Issuer shall promptly request the Trustee to deliver to the Transferor the
original executed counterpart of each Predecessor Lease and each Early
Termination Lease for which substitution or an addition has been made pursuant
to Section 7.01 hereof.
Section 5.03 Objection and Purchase.
If any Holder of the Notes objects to any substitution of Leases within ten
days of receipt of the Servicer's monthly report providing notice thereof
pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, on the grounds either that any Substitute
Lease or Additional Lease is not an Eligible Lease within the meaning of the
definition thereof or that such substitution or addition is otherwise not
permitted under the provisions of Section 5.01 hereof, the Transferor shall be
entitled to present such additional information as it deems appropriate in an
effort to demonstrate that such Lease is an Eligible Lease and that such
substitution is permitted under the provisions of Section 5.01 hereof. Following
such presentation, the substitution shall remain effective if each person
originally objecting to the substitution withdraws his objection. If the
conditions specified in the preceding sentence are not satisfied, or if at any
time it is established that any lease was not, at the time of substitution, an
Eligible Lease, then the Transferor shall be required to purchase such Lease as
if a Warranty Event occurred.
Section 5.04 Transferor's Subsequent Obligations.
Upon any substitution of Leases in accordance with the provisions of this
Article V, the Transferor's obligations hereunder with respect to the
Predecessor Lease shall cease but the Transferor shall thereafter have the same
obligations with respect to the Substitute Lease substituted as it has with
respect to all other Leases subject to the terms hereof.
