Servicing Agreement, the Originator, in consideration for the membership
interests in the Seller, hereby contributes, transfers, assigns, sets over and

to each of the Leases (including all Related Interests).
(b) By their execution and delivery of this Assignment and
Servicing Agreement, the Seller, in consideration for the membership interests
in the Issuer, hereby contributes, transfers, assigns, sets over and conveys to

(except to the extent of the Seller's Purchase Obligations as set forth herein),
all of the Seller's right, title and interest in and to each of (i) the Leases
(including all Related Interests), and (ii) the covenants, representations,
warranties and other obligations of the Originator (including the Originator's
Purchase Obligation) under this Assignment and Servicing Agreement.
1.02 Capital Contribution of and Grant of Security Interest in

(a) The Originator and the Seller each acknowledge and confirm
that the Originator, as additional consideration for the membership interests in
the Seller, is also contributing and transferring to the Seller, and in
connection with each transfer and assignment of Additional Leases and Substitute
Leases, the Originator will contribute and transfer to the Seller, without
recourse, all right, title and interest of the Originator in and to each item of
Equipment subject to each Lease, Additional Lease and Substitute Lease. After
such contribution and transfer by the Originator to the Seller, all right, title
and interest of the Originator in and to each item of Equipment subject to each
Lease shall be vested in the Seller.
(b) The Seller and the Issuer each acknowledge and confirm that
the Seller is granting a security interest to the Issuer, and in connection with
each transfer and assignment of Additional Leases and Substitute Leases the
Seller will grant a security interest to the Issuer, in all right, title and

the Issuer, the Issuer shall have a security interest in all right, title and
interest of the Seller in and to each item of Equipment subject to each Lease,

1.03 Contribution of Leases; Grant of Security Interest.
It is the intention of the parties hereto that each transfer of
Leases, Additional Leases, Substitute Leases and Equipment by the Originator to
the Seller pursuant to Sections 1.01(a) and 1.02(a), and each transfer of
Leases, Additional Leases and Substitute Leases by the
2
Seller to the Issuer pursuant to Section 1.01(b), shall constitute an absolute
assignment thereof by way of capital contribution and not a loan. Neither the
Originator nor the Seller shall take any action inconsistent with the treatment
of such transfers as absolute assignments by way of capital contributions or
with the Issuer's ownership of the Leases (including all Related Interests).
Each of the Originator, the Seller and the Issuer shall indicate in its records
that, and shall respond to any inquiries from third parties by indicating that,
(i) ownership of the Leases, Additional Leases, Substitute Leases, including all
Related Interests, is held by the Issuer and pledged to the Trustee, pursuant to
the Indenture, and (ii) ownership of each item of Equipment subject to each
Lease is held by the Seller (subject to the security interest therein granted by
the Seller to the Issuer hereunder and by the Issuer to the Trustee pursuant to
the Indenture). In the event, however, that contrary to the expressed intentions
of the parties, the transactions evidenced by Sections 1.01(a), 1.01(b) and
1.02(a) do not constitute an absolute transfer and assignment of assets pursuant
to the provisions of such Sections, then it is the intention of the parties
hereto that this Assignment and Servicing Agreement shall constitute a security
agreement under applicable law and that, effective as of the date hereof, the
Originator shall be deemed to have granted to the Seller, and the Seller shall
be deemed to have granted to the Issuer, first priority security interests, as
follows:
(a) Originator hereby grants to Seller a security
interest in all of the Originator's right, title and interest in, to and
under the following described property, including, without limitation,
all such property to the extent constituting general intangibles,

goods, letters of credit, deposit accounts and supporting obligations
(as each of the foregoing terms is defined in the Uniform Commercial
Code), whether such property (or Originator's right, title or interest
therein) is now existing or is hereafter created, acquired or arising,
and wherever located, as security for the payment and performance of all
liabilities, indebtedness and obligations now or at any time or times
hereafter owing by Originator to Seller, whether absolute or
conditional, due or to become due, liquidated or unliquidated and
arising under the terms of this Assignment and Servicing Agreement: (i)
all Leases, including, without limitation, all Additional Leases and
Substitute Leases; (ii) all amounts due or to become due at any time or
times under or with respect to any of the Leases since the Cut-Off Date

any Lease at or before the commencement of the Lease), including,
without limitation, all Lease Payments, Renewal Payments, Casualty
Payments, Retainable Deposits and Termination Payments; (iii) all rights
to payment or performance under any Lease Guaranty; (iv) all rights and
interests in any collateral with respect to any Lease, including any
security deposit and any security interest in the Equipment securing the
Lessee's obligations under any Lease; (v) all of the Originator's right,
title and interest in and to any Equipment; (vi) all rights and benefits
of Originator under this Assignment and Servicing Agreement; and (vii)
all proceeds (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) of any of the

in all of Seller's right, title and interest in, to and under the

property to the extent constituting general intangibles, accounts,
chattel paper, documents, instruments, investment property, goods,
letters of credit, deposit accounts and supporting obligations (as each
of the foregoing terms is
3
defined in the Uniform Commercial Code), whether such property (or
Seller's right, title or interest therein) is now existing or is
hereafter created, acquired or arising, and wherever located, as
security for the payment and performance of all liabilities,
indebtedness and obligations now or at any time or times hereafter owing
by Seller to Issuer, whether absolute or conditional, due or to become
due, liquidated or unliquidated and arising under the terms of this
Assignment and Servicing Agreement: (i) all Leases, including, without
limitation, all Additional Leases and Substitute Leases; (ii) all
amounts due or to become due at any time or times under or with respect
to any Leases since the Cut-Off Date (other than any pre-payments of
rent required pursuant to the terms of any Lease at or before the
commencement of the Lease), including, without limitation, all Lease
Payments, Renewal Payments, Casualty Payments, Retainable Deposits and
Termination Payments; (iii) all rights to payment or performance under
any Lease Guaranty; (iv) all rights and interests in any collateral with
respect to any Lease, including any security deposit and any security

the Indenture.
(b) The Servicer shall perform its duties under this Section
1.04 in accordance with the standard set forth in Section 4.01 as such standard
applies to servicers acting as custodial agents. The Servicer shall promptly
report to the Trustee any failure by it to hold the Leases as herein provided
and shall promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure but only
to the extent (i) any such failure is caused by the acts or omissions of the
Servicer and (ii) such remedial action is otherwise within its capabilities or
control. As custodian, the Servicer shall have the following powers and perform
the following duties:

to each Lease to enable it to comply with the terms and conditions of
this Assignment and Servicing Agreement, and maintain a current
inventory thereof;
(B) implement policies and procedures in accordance with the
Servicer's normal business practices with respect to the handling and
custody of the Leases so that the integrity and physical possession of
the Leases will be maintained; and
(C) attend to all details in connection with maintaining custody
of the Leases on behalf of the Issuer and for the Trustee on behalf of
the Noteholders and the Insurer.
4

further that it does not and will not have or assert any beneficial ownership
interest in such Leases. The Servicer shall xxxx conspicuously its master data
processing records evidencing each Lease with a legend, acceptable to the
Trustee and the Insurer, evidencing that (i) all right, title and interest in
the Leases has been contributed and transferred to the Issuer and pledged by the
Issuer to the Trustee as provided in the Indenture, and (ii) a security interest
in all right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the related Equipment
has been granted by the Seller to the Issuer hereunder and pledged by the Issuer
to the Trustee as provided in the Indenture.

Agreement, the Servicer agrees to maintain the Leases at its office at 0000 Xxxx
Xxxx, Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx or at such other offices of the Servicer as shall from time
to time be identified by prior written notice to the Trustee and the Insurer.
The Servicer shall keep the originals of the Leases and related Lease files
segregated from other leases, records and files of the Servicer in a place where
it is indicated that they are being held for the Trustee or at such alternate
sites as the Servicer shall determine subject to the prior written consent of
the Insurer; provided, however, that the originals of the Leases and related
Lease files in respect of obligors in the State of Florida need not be so
segregated provided that such Leases (and Lease files) are also retained in
imaged form and the Servicer is in compliance with the requirements of Section
1.04(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer may temporarily move
individual Leases or any portion thereof and related Lease files without notice
as necessary to conduct collection and other servicing activities.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
in the event that the long-term debt rating assigned to the Servicer is
downgraded below BBB- by S&P or Baa3 by Xxxxx'x, the Servicer shall promptly
notify the Trustee and deliver the originals of all of the Leases (and related
Lease files), including the originals of any Leases (and related Lease files) in
imaged form, to the Trustee within three (3) Business Days of receipt of written
demand by the Insurer. The Servicer shall be responsible for all additional fees
and expenses in connection with such delivery.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained here, the
contributions and transfers of the Leases and Equipment pursuant to Sections

recourse to or against, IKON Office Solutions, Inc. or any subsidiary or
Affiliate of IKON Office Solutions, Inc. other than the Originator and the
Seller, including any right to require IKON Office Solutions, Inc. or any such
subsidiary or Affiliate other than the Originator or the Seller to purchase or
acquire any Lease or item of Equipment for any reason or to compensate the
Originator, the Seller, the Issuer or any other Person for or in respect of any
Lease or item of Equipment (whether on account of the non-payment of any lease
or rental payment or for any other reason).

SECTION 2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE ORIGINATOR
The Originator, as Originator and Servicer, hereby represents and
warrants as of the Issuance Date and, except with respect to Sections 2.03,
2.06, 2.07, 2.11(a) and 2.13, each date of substitution of Leases or addition of
Additional Leases as follows:
2.01 Corporate Organization and Authority.
The Originator:
(a) is a limited liability company duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of its
jurisdiction of organization,
(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 Asset Pool or the
business or condition (financial or otherwise) of the
Originator or impair the enforceability of any Lease) and
to enter into and perform its obligations under this
Assignment and Servicing Agreement, and the transactions
contemplated hereby, including performance of the duties
of the Servicer and the Originator's support obligations
hereunder and
(c) has duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is
in good standing 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 Asset Pool or the business
or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Originator or
impair the enforceability of any Lease).
2.02 Business and Property.
The Prospectus accurately describes in all material respects the
general nature of the business of the Originator.
2.03 Financial Statements.
(a) As of the Issuance Date, the consolidated balance sheet of
the Originator and its consolidated subsidiaries for the fiscal years ended
September 30, 2002, September 30, 2001 and September 30, 2000 and the related
consolidated statements of income, member's equity and cash flow for the
respective fiscal years ended on such dates, all accompanied by reports thereon
containing opinions without qualification, except as therein noted, by the
Originator's independent certified public accountants (such independent
certified public accountants being PricewaterhouseCoopers) and the unaudited
interim consolidated balance sheets of the Originator and its consolidated
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and the related consolidated statements of
income, member's equity and cash flow for the three months ended December 31,
2002 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
6
principles consistently applied, and present fairly the financial position of
the Originator and its subsidiaries as of such dates and the results of their
operations for such periods.
(b) As of the Issuance Date, except as disclosed in the
Prospectus and the financial statements referred to in the preceding Section
2.03(a), since December 31, 2002 there has been no change in the business,
condition or prospects (financial or otherwise) of the Originator except changes
in the ordinary course of business, none of which individually or in the
aggregate has been materially adverse, and there is no Servicer Event of Default
or event that would give rise to a Servicer Event of Default. Neither the
Originator nor any of its subsidiaries has any material liabilities or
obligations not incurred in the ordinary course of business other than those
disclosed in the financial statements referred to in Section 2.03(a) or for
which adequate reserves are reflected in such financial statements.
2.04 Equipment and Leases.
(a) Prior to the date of each contribution and transfer of any
Leases and each contribution and transfer or grant of a security interest in the
related Equipment in accordance with Sections 1.01 and 1.02, the Originator (or
the originating lessor in the event that the Originator did not originate that
particular Lease) purchased each item of Equipment from the manufacturer or
other supplier. The Originator (or the originating lessor in the event that the
Originator did not originate that particular Lease) has paid in full, to the
manufacturer or supplier, as the case may be, the purchase price and any related
charges in connection with the acquisition of the Equipment and is the sole
lessor under the Leases. The contribution to the Seller and the concurrent
contribution to the Issuer of the Leases, the contribution of all of the
Originator's right, title and interest in each item of Equipment to the Seller
and the grant of a security interest in the Seller's interests in each item of
Equipment to the Issuer, do not violate the terms or provisions of any Lease or
any other agreement to which the Originator is a party or by which it is bound.
(b) Immediately prior to the completion of each contribution
and transfer described in Sections 1.01(a), 1.01(b) and 1.02(a), the Originator
will (i) be the legal owner of the Leases (including all Related Interests) and
(ii) have good title to each item of Equipment. Upon completion of each
contribution and transfer described in Sections 1.01(a), 1.01(b) and 1.02(a) and
the grant of the security interest described in Section 1.02(b), (i) the Issuer
will be the legal owner of the related Leases (including all Related Interests),
(ii) the Seller will have good title to each item of related Equipment, and
(iii) the Issuer will have a valid security interest in all of the Seller's
right, title and interest in and to each item of related Equipment.
(c) At the time of each transfer of a Lease hereunder, (A)
each such Lease (i) will be a triple-net lease (i.e., pursuant to which the
Lessee is unconditionally responsible for the payment of insurance, maintenance
and taxes with respect to the Equipment subject to the Lease); (ii) will be a
legal, valid and binding full recourse obligation of the Lessee thereunder,
enforceable by the Issuer in all material respects (and by the Trustee as

for the benefit of the Issuer, will service and administer each Lease in
accordance with the terms thereof and of this Assignment and Servicing
Agreement. The Servicer shall take, or cause to be taken, all such actions as
may be necessary or advisable to service, administer and collect each Lease from
time to time, all in accordance with (i) its Credit and Collections Policy and
customary and prudent servicing procedures for leases of a similar type, (ii)
all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and (iii) without limitation as to
its obligations under the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), no less a standard of
care than that which it applies to leases it services for its own account. The
Servicer shall provide the Lessees with appropriate invoices and such other
notices as may be required to ensure that all Lease Payments, Casualty Payments
and Termination Payments on or in respect of each Lease are remitted by the
Lessees to the address specified by the Servicer. The Servicer shall deposit
such payments to the Collection Account within two Business Days of the receipt
thereof, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.01(g) hereof. Any other
amount received by the Servicer from time to time from the Originator, the
Issuer or any Lessee which is subject to the Lien of the Indenture shall be held
in trust by the Servicer, as agent for the Trustee and promptly turned over to
the Trustee or deposited into the Collection Account for application in
accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.
(b) The Servicer shall do, and shall have full power and
authority to do, subject only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of
this Assignment and Servicing Agreement, any and all things in connection with
the servicing and administration of the Leases and the interests in the
Equipment which are consistent with the Credit and Collections Policy and the
manner in which it services leases and equipment constituting part of its own
portfolio and consistent with the customary practices of servicers in the
equipment leasing industry, but in performing its duties hereunder, the Servicer
will act on behalf and for the benefit of the Issuer, the Trustee and the
holders of the Notes and the Insurer, subject at all times to the provisions of
the Indenture, without regard to any relationship which the Servicer or any
Affiliate of the Servicer may otherwise have with a Lessee. The Servicer shall
at all times act in accordance with the provisions of each Lease, and shall
observe and comply with all requirements of law applicable to it. Except as
permitted by the terms of any Lease following a default thereunder, the Servicer
shall not take any action which would result in the interference with the
Lessee's right to quiet enjoyment of the Equipment subject to the Lease during
the term thereof. The Servicer shall exercise with respect to each item of
Equipment all rights and remedies it, the Issuer or the Trustee shall have
against any vendor of the Equipment, subject to the provisions of any Lease, and
shall promptly pay all amounts realized from such actions to the Trustee for
deposit in the Collection Account, in accordance with the terms of the
Indenture.
(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Servicer agrees to (i) invoice each Lessee monthly (except quarterly,
semi-annually or annually in the case of Leases which provide for quarterly,
semi-annual or annual Lease Payments, respectively) for all Lease Payments
required to be paid by such Lessee in such manner and to the same extent as the
Servicer does with respect to leases held for its own account, (ii) maintain
with respect to each
25
Lease and each item of Equipment, and with respect to each payment by each
Lessee and compliance by each Lessee with the provisions of each Lease, complete
and accurate records in the same form and to the same extent as the Servicer
does with respect to leases and equipment held for its own account (which
records shall be at least as complete and accurate as those maintained by the
Servicer as of the date of this Assignment and Servicing Agreement), and (iii)
from time to time execute, deliver and file (or cause the same to be done), and
the Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered to execute, deliver, and file on
behalf of the Originator, the Seller, the Issuer and the Trustee, any and all
tax returns with respect to sales, use, personal property and other taxes (other
than corporate income tax returns) and any and all reports or licensing
applications required to be filed in any jurisdiction with respect to any Lease
or any item of Equipment and, except as provided in the last sentence of this
Section 4.01(c), any Financing Statements and assignments of Financing
Statements and continuation statements as may from time to time be necessary
because of Lease substitutions, equipment replacements in accordance with the
provisions of any Lease or otherwise so that the transfer of the Leases and
Equipment from the Originator to the Seller, the transfer of the Leases from the
Seller to the Issuer, the security interest granted by the Seller to the Issuer
in the Equipment and the security interest granted by the Issuer pursuant to the
Indenture in favor of the Trustee in each of the Leases and the Issuer's
interest in the Equipment, at all times will be perfected by such filings with
the appropriate Uniform Commercial Code filing offices. The Originator, the
Seller, the Issuer and the Servicer agree to file Financing Statements on Form
UCC-1 to perfect the ownership interest of the Issuer and the security interest
of the Trustee in the Leases, the ownership interest of the Seller in the
Equipment, the security interest in favor of the Issuer in the Equipment and the
security interest of the Trustee in the Issuer's interest in the Equipment. The
parties acknowledge that, except as set forth in the Credit and Collections
Policy with respect to Substitute Leases or Additional Leases originated after
the date hereof, the Originator has not filed, and it is not contemplated that
the Originator, the Servicer, the Seller, the Issuer or any other party will
file, Financing Statements in order to perfect or to continue in effect any
security interest in any item of Equipment securing the obligations of the
Lessee under the Lease relating to such Equipment.
(d) The Servicer will maintain, or cause to be maintained,
with respect to the Leases and the Equipment property and liability insurance in
amounts at least as great as those described in Section 2.04(f). Each such
property and liability policy (i) if maintained by the Servicer, shall name the
Issuer, the Trustee and the Insurer as loss payees or additional insureds and
(ii) if maintained by the Lessee, shall name the Servicer or the Trustee as loss
payee and additional insured; provided that the Servicer shall cause all such
policies to name the Trustee, the Issuer and the Insurer as loss payees and
additional insureds upon the written request of the Insurer if (A) the
Originator is no longer the Servicer, (B) an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing or (C) a Servicer Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing.
(e) On or prior to the Issuance Date, the Servicer will file

the Leases and the Equipment as may be necessary because of equipment
replacements in accordance with the provisions of any Lease, purchases of
Additional Leases in accordance with Section 11 and Lease substitutions pursuant
to Section 11, any revision to the Uniform Commercial Code, or otherwise so that
(i) the
26
ownership interest and security interest contemplated by this Agreement in favor
of the Issuer, and the security interest contemplated by the Indenture in favor
of the Trustee, in the Leases will be perfected by such filings with the
appropriate Uniform Commercial Code filing offices and (ii) the ownership
interest contemplated by this Agreement in favor of the Seller, and the security
interest contemplated by this Agreement in favor of the Issuer and by the
Indenture in favor of the Trustee, in the Equipment, will be perfected by such
filings with the appropriate Uniform Commercial Code filing offices.
(f) The Servicer shall pay Excess Copy Charges and Maintenance
Charges, if any, owing to IKON Office Solutions, Inc. in a timely fashion.
(g) (i) In the event of a downgrading of the senior long term
debt rating or outlook assigned by Xxxxx'x or S&P to IOS Capital below "Baa2
(negative outlook)" or below "BBB- (stable outlook)", respectively ("Level I
Downgrade"), or (ii) in the event of a downgrading of the senior long term debt
rating assigned by Xxxxx'x or S&P to IOS Capital below "Baa3" or below "BBB-",
respectively ("Level II Downgrade"), the Insurer (so long as no Insurer Default
has occurred and is continuing) may, at its option, require the Servicer to
establish and maintain, within 30 days of receipt of such notice, and to
continue to establish and maintain in accordance with the terms hereof, an
Eligible Account (the "Lockbox Account").
(ii) In the event of a Level I Downgrade, the Lockbox Account
will be the same account(s) referenced in Section 3.02 of the Indenture, but
such account(s) will be in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of IOS
Capital, the Noteholders and the Insurer to the extent of their respective
interests, and shall be under the dominion and control of the Trustee. In the
event of a Level I Downgrade, the Lockbox Account shall be a "commingled"
lockbox account, which means that the Servicer may allow funds from leases not
owned by the Issuer to be collected (or, as the case may be, remain) in such
account along with payments representing proceeds of the Asset Pool. In the
event of a Level I Downgrade, at the direction of the Insurer (so long as no
Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing), (x) the Servicer shall enter
into an account control agreement with the Trustee and lockbox bank satisfactory
to the Insurer to further implement the Lockbox Account, provided that, such
agreement shall provide the Servicer with adequate access to the Lockbox Account
to perform its duties hereunder and (y) subject to the terms of the account
control agreement, the Servicer shall be authorized to direct the transfer of
funds to the Collection Account in accordance with the terms of Section 4.01(a)
hereof.
(iii) In the event of a Level II Downgrade, the Lockbox Account
will be an account separate and apart from the account(s) referenced in Section
3.02 of the Indenture and such account(s) will be in the name of the Trustee for
the benefit of the Noteholders and the Insurer, and under the dominion and
control of the Trustee. In the event of a Level II Downgrade, the Lockbox
Account shall be a "segregated" lockbox account, which means that the Servicer
may not allow funds from leases not owned by the Issuer to be collected (or, as
the case may be, remain) in such account along with the payments representing
proceeds of the Asset Pool, without the consent of the Insurer. In the event of
a Level II Downgrade, at the direction of the Insurer (so long as no Insurer
Default has occurred and is continuing), (x) the Servicer shall enter into an
account control agreement with the Trustee and lockbox bank satisfactory to the
Insurer to further implement the Lockbox Account, provided that, such agreement
shall provide
27
the Servicer with adequate access to the Lockbox Account to perform its duties
hereunder and (y) subject to the terms of the account control agreement, the
Servicer shall be authorized to direct the transfer of funds to the Collection
Account in accordance with the terms of Section 4.01(a) hereof. Within 45 days
of the receipt of notice from the Insurer required by this Section 4.01(g)(iii),
in the event of a Level II Downgrade, the Servicer shall have instructed in
writing each Lessee to remit their respective Lease Payments and other payments
under the Leases to the address of the Lockbox Account and solely payments
relating to the Asset Pool shall be directed to the Lockbox Account. In
addition, in the event of a Level II Downgrade, the Servicer shall send such
further notices and take such further actions as reasonably requested by the
Insurer or as reasonably necessary to cause Lessees to comply with such
instructions and remit their respective Lease Payments and other payments under
the Leases to the Lockbox Account.
4.02 Lease Amendments and Modifications.
In performing its obligations hereunder, the Servicer may, acting
in the name of the Issuer and without the necessity of obtaining the prior
consent of the Issuer, the Insurer or the Trustee, enter into and grant
modifications, waivers and amendments to the terms of any Lease except for
modifications, waivers or amendments that (a) are inconsistent with the
servicing standards set forth in Section 4.01 above, (b) would reduce the amount
or extend the time for payment of any Lease Payment, Casualty Payment or
Termination Payment to be made under a Lease (other than to permit termination
of a Lease which does not otherwise provide for termination by requiring the
payment, in lieu of all future Lease Payments with respect to the Lease or
Equipment subject thereto, an amount which equals or exceeds the Lease Purchase
Amount for such Lease as of such date) or the Lessee's absolute and
unconditional obligation to make payment of the same, (c) would reduce or
adversely affect the Lessee's obligation to maintain, service, insure and care
for the Equipment or would permit the alteration of any item of Equipment in any
way which could adversely affect its present or future value, (d) otherwise
could adversely affect the interests of any of the Seller, the Issuer, the
Trustee, the Insurer or the holders of the Notes or (e) would cause such Lease
not to satisfy the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.04.
In addition, following the transfer of any Lease to the Issuer in
accordance herewith, the Servicer may make adjustments to such Lease which
modify one or more terms of such Lease, such as payment amount or payment date.
Such administrative adjustments may result in a re-booking of such Lease and the
assignment of a new Lease number, but will not be considered to be a
substitution or prepayment of such Lease. Except to the extent the Originator
substitutes a Substitute Lease therefor in accordance with Section 11, the
Servicer may permit such adjustments so long as the following conditions
precedent have been satisfied:
(i) after giving effect to such adjustment and any
additions and substitutions pursuant to Section 11, the final payment on such
Lease must be on or prior to June 15, 2010;
(ii) after giving effect to such adjustments and any
additions and substitutions pursuant to Section 11 the aggregate amount of Lease
Payments through the term of the Leases (including the Substitute Leases and the
Additional Leases) will not be materially less
28
than the aggregate scheduled Lease Payments of the Leases prior to such
adjustment, substitution or addition;
(iii) after giving effect to such adjustments, additions
and substitutions pursuant to Section 11, the Discounted Present Value of the
Performing Leases must not be less than the Discounted Present Value of the
Performing Leases prior to such adjustment, addition and substitution; and
(iv) after giving effect to such adjustments, additions,
and substitutions pursuant to Section 11, the weighted average remaining term of
the Performing Leases must not be greater than the weighted average remaining
term of the Performing Leases prior to such adjustment, addition, and
substitution.
4.03 Non-Performing Leases.
(a) Upon receipt of notice from the Issuer, the Trustee or any
other Person, or if the Servicer otherwise learns that any Lease is a
Non-Performing Lease, the Servicer will take such action as is appropriate,
consistent with the Servicer's administration of leases in its own portfolio and
consistent with the Credit and Collections Policy and the customary practices of
servicers in the office equipment leasing industry, including such action as may
be necessary to cause, or attempt to cause, the Lessee thereunder to cure such
non-performance (if the same may be cured) or to terminate or attempt to
terminate such Lease and to recover, or attempt to recover, all damages
resulting from such default.
(b) The Servicer will use its best efforts to sell or lease
any Equipment that is subject to a Non-Performing Lease in a timely manner and
upon the most favorable terms and conditions available at the time. In the event
of an Early Lease Termination, any Substitute Leases in respect thereof must
have a Discounted Present Value equal to or greater than that of the Early
Termination Lease, monthly payments at least equal to those of the Early
Termination Lease through the remaining term of such Early Termination Lease and
a remaining term less than or equal to that of the Early Termination Lease.
(c) In the event that the Servicer is required to sell or
lease any item of Equipment pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.03 at a
time when the Servicer has other similar items of equipment available to it, the
Servicer will not favor any such other item in its remarketing efforts.
(d) All amounts realized by the Servicer in the performance of
its duties under this Section 4.03 with respect to any Lease remaining subject
to the Lien of the Indenture and related Equipment (net of the Servicer's actual
out-of-pocket expenses to unaffiliated third parties reasonably incurred in such
realization), including amounts received by the Servicer pursuant to the
provisions of Section 5.05, shall be held in trust by the Servicer, as agent for
the Trustee and deposited into the Collection Account for application in
accordance with the provisions of the Indenture; provided that, to the extent
that (i) the Servicer has made any advances pursuant to Section 5.01 hereof with
respect to any Lease which thereafter became a Non-Performing Lease, and (ii)
the Servicer has not otherwise been fully reimbursed for such advances or
payments, the Servicer shall reimburse itself for such advances or payments from
any amounts recovered with
29
respect to such Non-Performing Lease before depositing any such amounts pursuant
to this Section 4.03(d). Any amounts properly retained by the Servicer pursuant
to this Section are, without further action by the Trustee, released from the
Lien of the Indenture.
4.04 Costs of Servicing; Servicing Fee; Administrative
Expenses.
(a) All costs of servicing each Lease in the manner required
by this Section 4 shall be borne by the Servicer, but the Servicer shall be
entitled to retain, out of any amounts actually recovered by the Servicer in the
performance of its obligations under Section 4.03 hereof with respect to any
Lease or the interests in the Equipment subject thereto, the Servicer's actual
out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred in the course of such performance
with respect to such Lease or the interests in the Equipment. (For all purposes
of this Section 4 the Servicer's "out-of-pocket expenses" means only those
expenses incurred to unaffiliated third parties (e.g., including, without
limitation, reasonable fees of outside counsel in a collection suit and
collection agents) and not salaries, operating costs, overtime wages and other
such "overhead" costs or expenses of the Servicer.) In addition, the Servicer
shall be entitled to receive on each Payment Date following the Issuance Date a
servicing fee with respect to the Notes (the "Servicing Fee"). Any amounts
properly retained by the Servicer pursuant to this Section are, without further
action by the Trustee, released from the Lien of the Indenture.
(b) The amount of the Servicing Fee which the Servicer shall
be entitled to receive on each Payment Date following the original issuance of
the Notes shall be determined by multiplying one-twelfth of 0.75% by the lesser
of (i) the Discounted Present Value of the Performing Leases or (ii) the
Outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes, in each case at the Determination
Date for such Payment Date before application of payments with respect thereto.
The Insurer may direct that the Servicing Fee payable to a successor servicer
may be increased to a market rate in the event that IOS Capital is no longer
acting as servicer.
(c) The Servicer agrees to pay, out of the Servicing Fee, all
Trustee Fees and expenses of the Trustee in connection with the Notes (including
the expenses relating to the preparation and delivery of reports to Noteholders)
and all fees of accountants in connection with the Notes.
4.05 Other Transactions.
Nothing in this Assignment and Servicing Agreement shall preclude
the Originator or the Servicer from entering into other leases or other
financial transactions with any Lessee or selling or discounting any such lease
with any Person.
4.06 Information Provided by Servicer.
The reports and other information furnished from time to time by
the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents
shall be complete and accurate in all material respects and none of such reports
and other information shall contain any statement of a material fact which was
untrue or misleading in any material respect when made or omits to state a
material fact necessary to make the information or statements contained therein
not misleading in any material respect.

SECTION 5. SERVICER ADVANCES AND ORIGINATOR'S AND SELLER'S
SUPPORT
5.01 Late Lease Payments.
On each Determination Date, the Servicer may, but will not be
required to, advance and remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Collection
Account, in such manner as will ensure that the Trustee will have immediately
available funds on account thereof by 11:00 A.M. New York City time on the
second Business Day prior to the next succeeding Payment Date, an amount (a
"Servicer Advance") equal to any Lease Payment due during the prior Due Period
but unpaid prior to such Determination Date with respect to any Lease. In
consideration of each Servicer Advance the Servicer will be entitled to retain
any late payment fees recovered from the Lessee with respect to any Lease
Payment covered by a Servicer Advance. In addition, the Servicer will be
reimbursed for Servicer Advances from Available Funds in the Collection Account
in accordance with the Indenture and this Agreement on the following Payment
Date. Any amounts properly retained by the Servicer pursuant to this Section
are, without further action by the Trustee, released from the Lien of the
Indenture.
5.02 Early Termination Leases.
Following the Determination Date as of which any Lease first
becomes an Early Termination Lease, but prior to the occurrence and continuance
of an Acceleration Event or other event that would give rise to the requirement
to pay Additional Principal pursuant to Section 3.03(b)(viii) of the Indenture
or Event of Default, the Originator may, but shall have no obligation to, either
(a) substitute one or more Eligible Leases and the Equipment subject thereto for
such Lease and the Equipment subject thereto pursuant to Section 11 hereof (if
the Originator is then entitled to substitute Leases and Equipment in accordance
with the provisions of Section 11.01 hereof) on or before the second Business
Day prior to the next succeeding Payment Date, (b) purchase from the Issuer such
Lease and the Issuer's interest in the related Equipment by remitting to the
Trustee an amount equal to the Lease Purchase Amount in such manner as will
ensure that the Trustee will have immediately available funds therefor by 11:00
A.M. New York City time on the second Business Day prior to the next succeeding
Payment Date or (c) transfer to the Issuer one or more Additional Leases in
consideration of the proceeds thereof in accordance with Section 11 hereof,
provided that, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Acceleration Event or
other event that would give rise to the requirement to pay Additional Principal
pursuant to Section 3.03(b)(viii) of the Indenture or an Event of Default, the
proceeds of an Early Termination Lease shall not be invested and shall be
deposited in the Collection Account. Unless the Originator takes one of the
actions set forth in the prior sentence, the Servicer will not permit a
voluntary termination of a Lease prior to its stated maturity unless it receives
a payment in connection with such termination equal to at least the Lease
Purchase Amount. Any Early Termination Lease and the Issuer's interest in the
Equipment subject thereto which is purchased, or for which Additional Leases
have been acquired or Substitute Leases transferred, pursuant to this Section
5.02 shall nevertheless remain subject to the Lien of the Indenture until such
time as an Additional Lease or Additional Leases have been acquired or
Substitute Lease or Substitute Leases have been transferred in accordance with
the provisions of Section 11 hereof or the Lease Purchase Amount has been paid.
31
5.03 Indemnification.
Subject to the provisions of Section 7.02, IOS Capital, in its
capacity as Servicer, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, the
Insurer, the Trustee (its officers, directors, employees and agents) and each
holder of the Notes and their respective successors and assigns (each an
"Indemnified Party") against any and all liabilities, losses, damages,
penalties, costs and expenses (including costs of defense and legal fees and
expenses) which may be incurred or suffered by such Indemnified Party (except to
the extent arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part
of the Indemnified Party) as a result of claims, actions, suits or judgments
asserted or imposed against it and arising out of the transactions contemplated
hereby or by the Indenture, including, without limitation, any claims resulting
from any use, operation, maintenance, repair, storage or transportation of any
item of Equipment, whether or not in the Servicer's possession or under its
control pursuant to this Assignment and Servicing Agreement, and any tort claims
and any fines or penalties arising from any violation of the laws or regulations
of the United States or any state or local government or governmental authority;
provided that the foregoing indemnity shall in no way be deemed to impose on the
IOS Capital any obligation, other than to the extent specifically set forth in
this Agreement or the Indenture, to make any payment with respect to any Lease
or Equipment or principal or interest on the Notes, to pay or reimburse the
Insurer in respect of any amount paid by the Insurer on or in respect of the
Notes or to reimburse the Issuer for any payments on account of the Notes. This
Section 5.03 shall bind any successor servicer hereunder, except that no
successor servicer shall be liable for any such indemnification obligations
which arose before it became successor servicer. Nothing in this indemnification
shall be construed as a guaranty of any Lease or any Equipment by the
Originator. The obligations of IOS Capital, as Servicer under this Section 5.03,
arising from transactions or acts of IOS Capital or transactions or acts that
have occurred prior to its replacement as Servicer, shall survive the
replacement of IOS Capital as Servicer and satisfaction and discharge of the
Indenture and the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee thereunder.
5.04 Purchases; Other Payments.
(a) In the event that (i) any of the representations or
warranties made by the Originator in Sections 2.04, 2.05(b) and 2.08 hereof with
respect to any of the Leases or the Equipment subject thereto proves at any time
to have been inaccurate in any material respect as of the Issuance Date or
related transfer date, as the case may be, or (ii) any Lease shall be terminated
in whole or in part by a Lessee, or any amounts due with respect to any Lease
shall be reduced or impaired, as a result of (x) any action or inaction by the
Originator (other than any such action or inaction of the Originator, when
acting as Servicer, in connection with the enforcement of any Lease in a manner
consistent with the provisions of this Assignment and Servicing Agreement) or
(y) any claim by any Lessee against the Originator and, in any such case, the
event or condition causing such inaccuracy, termination, reduction, impairment
or claim shall not have been cured or corrected within 30 days after the earlier
of the date on which the Originator is given notice thereof by the Issuer or the
Trustee or the date on which the Originator otherwise first has notice thereof,
and the Originator shall not have substituted one or more Substitute Leases
therefor in accordance with Section 11.01(a) hereof, the Originator will
purchase such Lease and related Equipment interests by paying to the Servicer
for deposit into the Collection Account, not later than the second Business Day
after the Determination Date next
32
following the expiration of such 30-day period with respect to the events
referenced in Section 5.04(a)(i) and (ii), an amount equal to the Lease Purchase
Amount, and simultaneously with such purchase, the Originator shall reimburse
the Servicer for all amounts, if any, theretofore advanced by the Servicer
pursuant to Section 5.01 with respect to such Lease. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, it is agreed and understood that for purposes of
this Section 5.04, any inaccuracy in any representation or warranty with respect
to (i) the priority of the Lien of the Indenture with respect to any Lease or
(ii) the amount (if less than represented) of the Lease Payments, Casualty
Payments or Termination Payments under any Lease shall be deemed to be material.
(b) By the Issuance Date, the Originator and the Seller agree
to obtain and provide to the Trustee UCC searches against each of them from the
appropriate filing offices in Georgia and Delaware confirming the absence of any
UCC filings (other than those in the process of being released pursuant to
releases delivered on the Issuance Date) against either of them with respect to
the Leases (including the right to receive all payments due or to become due
thereunder) and the Equipment, other than those naming the Seller or the Issuer
as the owner of the Leases or the Trustee as secured party. In the event the
Originator and Seller fail to provide any such searches required by the
preceding sentence of this Section 5.04(b) within the required time period or
any search reveals the existence of any conflicting Liens (which are not removed
within 30 days of receipt of such search), the Originator shall be required to
purchase not later than the third Business Day after the Determination Date
following the expiration of the time period during which such search was to be
obtained or such Lien released, as the case may be, any Lease as to which such
searches are not provided or with respect to which conflicting Liens with
respect thereto or any related Equipment are found to exist at the Lease
Purchase Amount for such Lease.
(c) The Originator's obligations under this Section 5.04 are
the full recourse obligations of the Originator and shall in no way be limited
or discharged by the application of any funds constituting part of the Asset
Pool.
(d) In connection with any purchase of Leases and Equipment
interests pursuant to this Section 5.04, the Originator may reacquire from the
Seller the ownership interest of the Seller in such Equipment and such Leases
and Equipment shall be released from the Lien of the Indenture.
5.05 Seller's Obligation in Respect of Non-Performing Leases.
In the event that any Lease shall become a Non-Performing Lease,
and the Originator shall not have substituted one or more Substitute Leases
therefor in accordance with the provisions of Section 11, the Seller shall pay
to the Issuer in the manner provided in the next sentence an amount equal to the
lesser of (i) the amount of all recoveries by the Seller in respect of the sale,
re-lease or other disposition of any item of Equipment subject to such
Non-Performing Lease and (ii) the Discounted Present Value of such
Non-Performing Lease (the "Recourse Amount"). The amount of any such recoveries,
up to the Recourse Amount, shall be deposited into the Collection Account within
two Business Days of the receipt thereof by the Seller or the Servicer. The
Seller's obligations under this Section 5.05 are secured by a security
33
interest from the Seller to the Issuer in all right, title and interest of the
Seller in and to the Equipment subject to the Leases (whether or not
constituting Non-Performing Leases).
5.06 Payment Advices.
Each payment to the Servicer pursuant to any of the provisions of
this Assignment and Servicing Agreement shall be accompanied by written advice
containing sufficient information to identify the Lease and/or Equipment to
which such payment relates, the Section of this Assignment and Servicing
Agreement pursuant to which such payment is made, and the proper application
pursuant to the provisions of this Assignment and Servicing Agreement or the
Indenture of the amounts being paid.

Servicer's fiscal year ending September 30, 2003, an Officers' Certificate
stating that the Servicer has fulfilled its obligations under this Assignment
and Servicing Agreement in all material respects throughout the preceding twelve

such examination and comparison, such firm is of the opinion that the Servicer
has prepared such monthly status report and summaries in agreement with the
computer printouts, accounts and individual Lease files, except in each case for
(x) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial and (y) such
other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement. In the event such firm
of independent public accountants requires the Trustee to agree to the
procedures performed by such firm, the Servicer shall direct the Trustee in
writing to so agree; it being understood and agreed that the Trustee shall
deliver such letter of agreement in conclusive reliance upon the direction of
the Servicer, and the Trustee makes no independent
36

SECTION 7. THE SERVICER
7.01 Merger or Consolidation of the Servicer.
Except in the event of merger or consolidation as permitted by
this Section 7.01, so long as the Indenture remains in effect, the Servicer will

liability company under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and will
preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign limited liability company
in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is necessary to protect the
validity and enforceability of any of the Leases or to permit performance of the
Servicer's duties under this Assignment and Servicing Agreement. So long as no
Insurer Default shall have occurred, the Servicer will not change its
jurisdiction of organization or location of the records of the Leases without
the prior written consent of the Insurer (which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld) until the time at which the Indenture has been discharged, in
accordance with Section 11.01 thereof.

not merge or consolidate with any other Person unless (i) the entity surviving
such merger or consolidation is a corporation organized under the laws of the

the Servicer, shall execute and deliver to the Issuer, the Servicer and the
Trustee, in form and substance satisfactory to each of them; (a) an instrument

Trustee, the Insurer or the holders of the Notes for any action taken or not
taken in good faith pursuant to the terms of this Assignment and Servicing
Agreement with respect to any Lease (including any Non-Performing Lease) or the
Equipment subject thereto; provided, however, that this provision shall not
protect the Servicer or any such person against any breach of warranties,
representations or covenants made by it herein or in any certificate delivered
in conjunction with the purchase of the Notes or for any liability which would
otherwise be imposed for any action or inaction resulting from willful
misconduct or bad faith or for negligence in the performance or nonperformance
of its duties hereunder.
7.03 Servicer Not to Resign or Be Removed.
The Servicer shall not resign from the servicing obligations and

Servicer shall be evidenced by an opinion of independent counsel to the
Servicer, in form and substance satisfactory to the Insurer (so long as the

such effect delivered to the Trustee and the Insurer with a copy to each Rating
Agency.
Except as provided in Section 10.02 hereof, the Servicer shall
not be removed or be replaced as Servicer with respect to any Lease or any of
the Equipment.
No resignation or removal of the Servicer shall in any event (i)
become effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer shall have assumed

Section 10.03 hereof, or (ii) affect the Originator's obligations pursuant to
Section 5 hereof.

that the officers signing such Officers' Certificate have reviewed the relevant
terms of this Assignment and Servicing Agreement and have made, or caused to be
made under such officers' supervision, a review of the activities of the
Servicer during the period covered by the statements then being furnished, (ii)
that the review has not disclosed the existence of any Servicer Event of Default

the Servicer has taken and is taking with respect thereto, and (iii) that on the
basis of such review the officers signing such certificate are of the opinion
that during such period the Servicer has serviced the Leases in compliance with
the procedures hereof except as described in such certificate.

of the Servicer with any of its officers or employees all at such reasonable

hereunder. Any expense incident to the exercise by the Issuer, the Trustee, the
Insurer, or any holder of the Notes during the continuance of any Servicer Event
of Default, or any event or condition which with the giving of notice or the

The Servicer will indicate in its records that it is servicing
and administering each Lease in its capacity as Servicer hereunder, and to the

will keep in full force and effect its existence, rights and franchise as a
limited liability company under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and

holders of 66-2/3% in Outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes if an Insurer
Default has occurred and is continuing) pursuant to and under this Section and
the Indenture; and, without limitation, the Trustee or such successor Servicer
is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all other acts or things
necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination,

10.03 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
(a) On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of
termination pursuant to Section 10.02 hereof, the Trustee or other successor
Servicer (as designated by the Insurer or otherwise), subject to the terms of
Section 6.01 of the Indenture, shall be the successor in all respects to the
Servicer in its capacity as servicer of the Leases under this Assignment and
46
Servicing Agreement and, to such extent, shall be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer
by the terms and provisions hereof (but not the obligations of the Originator
contained in Section 5 hereof which shall survive any such termination as above
provided) and shall be entitled to receive from the Issuer the Servicing Fee
provided for in Section 4.04 hereof; provided that the Trustee shall in no way
be responsible or liable for any action or actions of the Servicer before the
time the Servicer receives such a notice of termination. Upon the replacement of
the Servicer in accordance with Section 10.02 hereof, (1) the Trustee can (at
the direction of the Insurer so long as no Insurer Default shall have occurred
and is continuing) direct all payments under the Leases be made directly to such
account as shall be specified by the Trustee; (2) the Issuer shall (at the
Insurer's request and Issuer's expense) give notice of the Trustee's interest to
each Lessee; (3) the Servicer and the Issuer shall make available all records
related to the Leases to the Trustee; and (4) the Servicer and the Issuer will
authorize the Trustee to collect all amounts due under the Leases.
(b) Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee (with the written
consent of the Insurer, if no Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing)
may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act,
give notice of such fact to the Insurer (if no Insurer Default has occurred and
is continuing) or to each holder of the Notes (if an Insurer Default has
occurred and is continuing) and (i) appoint an established institution
satisfactory to the Insurer (if no Insurer Default has occurred and is
continuing) or to the holders of 66-2/3% of the then Outstanding Principal
Amount of the Notes (if an Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing) as
the successor to the Servicer hereunder to assume all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the
Servicer's right hereunder to receive the Servicing Fee (but not the obligations
of the Originator contained in Section 5 hereof), or (ii) if no such Person
satisfactory to the Insurer (if no Insurer Default has occurred and is
continuing) or to the holders of 66-2/3% of the then Outstanding Principal
Amount of the Notes (if an Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing) is so
appointed within 60 days following the giving of such notice, appoint a bank or
other established Person, which has experience in servicing lease contracts and
equipment similar to the Leases and Equipment and as to which each of S&P and
Xxxxx'x has indicated in writing that the appointment of such Person, as the
successor to the Servicer hereunder will not result in the reduction or
withdrawal of such Rating Agency's then-current rating of the Notes, or (iii) if
no such institution is so appointed within 90 days, petition a court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint an institution meeting such criteria as the
Servicer hereunder. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer
hereunder, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In
connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee shall cause such
successor to the Servicer to enter into a servicing agreement substantially in
the form of this Assignment and Servicing Agreement except that such agreement
shall not include any of the Originator's representations, warranties or
obligations and the Trustee, on the instructions of the Insurer (so long as no
Insurer Default shall have occurred and is continuing), shall make arrangements
for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Leases as the Insurer
shall direct (so long as no Insurer Default shall have occurred and is
continuing) and such successor shall agree. In no event shall the Trustee be
liable for any servicing fee or for any difference in the amount of the
servicing fee payable hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any successor
Servicer to act as successor Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions
set forth or provided for herein. The Trustee shall provide the Rating Agencies
and the Insurer with prior written notice of the appointment of any successor to
the Servicer.
47
10.04 Servicer to Cooperate.
The Servicer hereby agrees to cooperate with the Trustee and any
successor to the Servicer appointed in accordance with Section 10.03 hereof, as
applicable, in effecting the termination and transfer of the responsibilities
and rights of the Servicer hereunder to the Trustee or any successor to the
Servicer, including, without limitation, the execution and delivery of
assignments of Financing Statements, and the transfer to the Trustee or the
successor to the Servicer for administration by it of all amounts which shall at
the time be held by the Servicer or thereafter received with respect to the
Leases. The Servicer hereby agrees to transfer to any successor to the Servicer
its electronic records and all other records, correspondence and documents
relating to the Leases and Equipment in the manner and at such times as the
successor to the Servicer shall reasonably request. The Servicer hereby agrees
to grant a license to any duly appointed successor servicer to use its software
or other rights reasonably identified by such successor servicer deemed
reasonably necessary in connection with servicing of the Leases, but only to the
extent explicitly assignable under the terms thereof without unreasonable
expense, effort or penalty. The Servicer hereby designates the Trustee and any
successor to the Servicer its agent and attorney-in-fact to execute transfers of
Financing Statements and any other filings or instruments which may be necessary
or advisable to effect such transfer of the Servicer's responsibilities and
rights hereunder and the Servicer hereby agrees to execute and deliver any
powers of attorney reasonably requested to effectively implement the transfer of
servicing. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transfer of
servicing shall be borne by the Servicer.

thereof to each Rating Agency, the Insurer and to each holder of the Notes in
the manner provided in the Indenture.

the Trustee or any other Person would otherwise have at law or in equity on
account of the breach or violation of any provision of this Assignment and
Servicing Agreement by the Servicer, including, without limitation, the right to
recover full and complete damages on account thereof to the extent not
inconsistent with Section 7.02 hereof.
