INTERIM LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT, dated as of February 20,
1997 (as amended or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Agreement"),
between (i) PRUDENTIAL SECURITIES CREDIT CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation
(the "Lender"), and (ii) DVI FINANCIAL SERVICES INC., a Delaware corporation
(the "Borrower").
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Borrower wishes to obtain financing from time to
time to provide interim funding for certain leases of, and loans in respect of,
Equipment (as defined herein), which equipment leases and loans are to be
contributed to one or more trusts or other vehicles (the "Trust") to be
sponsored by the Borrower or an Affiliate thereof, which may have the benefit
of credit enhancement issued by a credit enhancer (the "Credit Enhancer"), and
which equipment leases and loans and which Equipment shall, directly or
indirectly, secure the Loans (as defined herein) to be made by the Lender
hereunder.
WHEREAS, the Lender has agreed, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Loan Agreement, to provide such funding, with a portion of
the proceeds of the sale of all equipment lease and loan asset-backed
securities (the "Certificates") issued by any such Trust (as to which
Prudential Securities Incorporated has agreed to act as underwriter), together
with other funds of the Borrower, to be used to repay any Advances (as defined
herein) made by the Lender hereunder.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this
Agreement hereby agree as provided in the introductory paragraph and recitals
hereto and as follows (an index of certain capitalized, defined terms appears
in Section 22 of this Agreement).
Section 1. The Loan. Subject to the terms of this Agreement,
the Lender agrees to lend to the Borrower from time to time an aggregate
principal amount not to exceed $100,000,000 at any one time outstanding to be
made in one or more advances (each an "Advance" and, collectively, "Advances").
Each Advance shall be made on a date prior to the Maturity Date (as defined
herein) (each such date on which an Advance is made, a "Funding Date");
provided that the following conditions precedent have been satisfied:
(a) the representations and warranties of the Borrower in
Section 5 hereof shall be true and correct on and as of such Funding
Date as if made on and as of such date;
6
(b) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing or would exist after the making of the Advance on
such Funding Date;
(c) if requested by the Lender, the Lender shall have
conducted a due diligence review of Contract Files relating to the
Contracts being pledged in connection with the Advance being made on
such Funding Date, the results of which shall have been satisfactory
to the Lender;
(d) in connection with the first Advance, the Lender
shall have received (i) a legal opinion from counsel to the Borrower
and the Guarantor, substantially in the form of Exhibit H attached
hereto, (ii) the Secured Note (as defined herein), duly executed and
delivered by the Borrower, (iii) a Guarantee of DVI, Inc.,

Custodial Agreement among First Trust National Association, as
Custodian (the "Custodian"), the Borrower and the Lender, duly
executed and delivered by the parties thereto, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Lender (the "Custodial Agreement");
(e) any documents (including, without limitation,
financing statements) required to be filed, registered or recorded in
order to create, in favor of the Lender, a perfected, first-priority
security interest in the Collateral (other than, with respect to any
FMV Lease, filings to be made in accordance with Section 7(j)), shall
have been properly prepared for filing, registration or recording in
each office in each jurisdiction in which such filings, registrations
and recordations are required to perfect such first-priority security
interest, and shall have been delivered to the Lender;
(f) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Lender a
Contract Schedule (or amended the existing Contract Schedule, as the
case may be) and all other documents that it is required to deliver
under this Agreement, with respect to the Contracts being pledged on
such Funding Date. "Contract Schedule" means a schedule of Contracts
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, setting forth the following
information as to each Contract pledged to the Lender hereunder: (i)
the Contract identifying number; (ii) the Obligor's name; (iii) the
street address where the Equipment is in use including the zip code;
(iv) the description of the Equipment; (v) the original number of
months to maturity and the number of months remaining to maturity from

interest rate); (vii) the amount of the current monthly payment;
(viii) the amount of the purchase option payment, if any; (ix) the
original amount funded under the Contract; (x) the discounted
principal balance of the Contract as of the last day of the month in
which the Advance is made; (xi) whether the Contract is an Equipment
Lease or an Equipment Loan; (xii) whether the Borrower has initially
determined that a Contract is an FMV Lease; and (xiii) the
paid-through date of the Contract;
(g) the Lender shall have received a certification from
the Custodian under the Custodial Agreement, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Lender, with respect
-2-
7
to the Contracts being pledged in connection with the Advance being
made on such Funding Date;
(h) one or more releases, and such other instruments as
shall be requested by the Lender, in each case in form and substance
satisfactory to the Lender, from any lender or other person or entity
having a lien on or security interest in the Contracts or Equipment to
be financed with the proceeds of the Advance being made on such
Funding Date, which releases and other instruments shall release all
liens or security interests in favor of such lender or other person or
entity and terminate any filings of record with respect to the
specific Contracts or Equipment to be financed with the proceeds of
the Advance being made on such Funding Date;
(i) after the making of such Advance, the outstanding
principal amount of the aggregate of all Advances will not exceed the
lesser of (A) 90% of the present value of the then remaining payments
under the Contracts pledged to the Lender hereunder, discounted at the
Discount Rate, and (B) if the Lender elects in its sole discretion to
make a determination of the market value of the Contracts held as
Collateral, 90% of the aggregate market value of the Contracts so held
as Collateral, as such market value is determined by the Lender on any
commercially reasonable basis in good faith (such sum the "Collateral
Requirement"); and
(j) any general conditions for the making of Advances
specified in Section 2 hereof have been satisfied and will continue to
be satisfied if such Advance is made.
Section 2. Terms and Conditions for All Advances.
(a) Each outstanding Advance shall mature on the related
Maturity Date, and the obligation of the Lender to make any Advances hereunder
shall terminate, on the earlier to occur of (x) the date on which the
Certificates related to the Contracts funded by Advances made hereunder are
sold, or (y) September 30, 1997 (the "Termination Date"); provided that the
Termination Date may be extended from time to time, in the sole and absolute
discretion of the Lender, upon (i) the execution and delivery by the parties
hereto of (A) a Notice of Extension of Agreement substantially in the form of
Exhibit B-1 annexed hereto and (B) an Endorsement to the Secured Note,
substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 annexed hereto, and (ii) the delivery
of an opinion of counsel to the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit
B-3 annexed hereto.
(b) (i) If the Borrower wishes to receive an Advance
in respect of Contracts, then the Borrower shall give the Lender written notice
by no later than 3:00 p.m. two Business Days prior to a Funding Date of the
amount and type of such Advance to be advanced on such Funding Date by
delivering to the Lender a Notice of Borrowing.
(ii) Each Advance shall bear interest from the related
Funding Date to but excluding the Maturity Date at a rate per annum
equal to LIBOR plus 0.85% and thereafter as provided in Subsection
2(e). "LIBOR", for any date of determination,
-3-
8
shall mean the rate appearing at page 3750 of the Telerate Screen as
one month LIBOR and, if such rate shall not be so quoted, the rate per
annum at which deposits in U.S. dollars for a period of one month are
offered by Xxxxxx Guaranty Trust Company of New York (or such other
prime bank in the London interbank market as the Lender shall
designate) to prime banks in the London inter bank market at
approximately 11:00 a.m. (London Time) on such date of determination.
(c) Each outstanding Advance shall mature on the related
maturity date specified for such Advance as set forth in the related Notice of
Borrowing (the "Maturity Date"); provided that the Maturity Date shall, for any
Advance, be no later than the earlier of (i) subject to the second succeeding
proviso hereto, the Termination Date, or (ii) the date upon which the
Certificates related to the Contracts funded by such Advance shall be sold;
provided, further, that the Lender shall have the option, in its sole
discretion, to extend the Maturity Date of an Advance from time to time by
delivering to the Borrower notice of such election in the form of Exhibit D
attached hereto prior to the then scheduled Maturity Date of such Advance; and
provided, further, that if the Lender chooses to extend the Maturity Date of an
Advance and such Maturity Date is a date later than the Termination Date of
this Agreement, then the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender an endorsement in
the form of Exhibit E attached hereto. If no such notice or endorsement, as
applicable, is delivered by the Lender, such Advance shall automatically become
due and payable without any further action by the Lender on its respective
Maturity Date, and in such event the Lender may exercise all rights and
remedies available to it as the holder of a first perfected security interest
under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York (the
"NY UCC"). The extension of the Maturity Date of any Advance beyond the
Termination Date of this Agreement shall not be deemed to be an extension or
renewal, beyond such Termination Date, of the Lender's obligations to lend to
the Borrower under this Agreement, and the Borrower's obligations in respect of
an Advance so extended shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
(d) The Advances are prepayable at any time without
premium or penalty, in whole or in part. Any amounts prepaid shall be applied
to repay the outstanding principal amount of any Advances (together with
interest thereon) until paid in full. Amounts repaid may be borrowed in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If the Borrower intends to repay
an Advance in whole or in substantial part from a source other than the
proceeds of Certificates, the Borrower shall give two (2) Business Days' prior
notice thereof to the Lender.
(e) If the Advances are not repaid in whole on the date
when due, the Advances shall, commencing on such due date, bear interest at a
rate per annum equal to the weighted average yield of the Contracts until
repaid.
(f) Interest calculated on the basis of LIBOR shall be
calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and paid for the actual number of
days elapsed. With respect to each day an Advance is outstanding, LIBOR shall
be determined for such Advance on such day, or if such day is not a Business
Day, LIBOR shall be determined for such Advance on the immediately preceding
Business Day.
-4-
9
(g) Interest on each Advance is payable on the tenth day
of each calendar month following the related Funding Date (such tenth day, and
the tenth day of each succeeding calendar month, an "Interest Payment Date")
and on the Maturity Date for such Advance, or if any Interest Payment Date or
the Maturity Date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day. In
the event that an Advance is not repaid in full on the date when due, interest
shall be payable thereafter on demand.
(h) The Advances shall be evidenced collectively by the
secured promissory note of the Borrower in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
F (the "Secured Note"). The Lender is authorized to record the date and amount
of each Advance and the date and amount of each repayment of principal thereof
on the schedule annexed to the Secured Note, and any such recordation shall be
conclusive evidence of the accuracy of the amounts so recorded (absent manifest
error); provided, that the failure of the Lender to make such recordation (or
any error in such recordation) shall not affect the rights and obligations of
the Borrower hereunder or under the Secured Note.
(i) Each Advance shall be repaid in full on the Maturity
Date, and the Lender shall release its security interest in and to the related
Contracts when any Advances are so repaid.
(j) The Advances shall be repaid in full on the date the
Certificates are sold.
(k) If at any time the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of all Advances exceeds the Collateral Requirement, as determined by the
Lender and notified to the Borrower on the third Business Day of each week (or,
in the sole discretion of the Lender following notice to the Borrower, on any
Business Day), the Borrower shall, (i) if notice of such excess was received no
later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day, within one
Business Day after receipt of such notice, or (ii) if notice of such excess was
received after 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day, within two
Business Days after receipt of such notice, either prepay such Advances
(together with interest thereon) in part or in whole or pledge additional
Collateral (as hereinafter defined) to the Lender, such that after giving
effect to such prepayment or pledge the unpaid principal amount of such
Advances does not exceed the Collateral Requirement.
(l) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, (i) if the Lender is unable, after good faith effort, to obtain a
source of funds for the proposed Advance on substantially the same economic
terms as are available to the Lender as of the date of this Agreement, and as a
result the cost to the Lender of making such Advance is increased by an amount
which the Lender deems material, the Lender shall not be obligated to make such
Advance unless the Borrower agrees to pay the Lender any additional amounts
necessary to compensate the Lender for such increased cost, as notified by the
Lender to the Borrower, and (ii) the Lender shall have no obligation to make
any Advance hereunder if there shall have occurred any material adverse change
in (A) the financial condition of the Lender, (B) the financial markets
generally or (C) the secondary market for Contracts. The Lender shall promptly
notify the Borrower of any determination by the Lender of any of the foregoing.

obligation of the Lender to make Advances hereunder; provided that upon the
occurrence of one or more Events of Default referred to in Section 13(g)
hereof, such amounts shall immediately and automatically become due and payable
without any further action by any person or entity. Upon such declaration or

further notice of any kind to the Borrower.
(b) Upon the occurrence of one or more Events of Default,
the Lender shall have the right to obtain physical possession of all files of

The Lender shall be entitled to specific performance of all agreements of the

(c) Upon the occurrence of one or more Events of Default,

or in any other commercially reasonable manner, or as provided by law. The
Lender shall be entitled to place the Contracts which it recovers after any
default in a pool for issuance of lease asset-backed securities at the
then-prevailing price for such securities and to sell such securities for such
prevailing price in the open market as a commercially reasonable disposition of
collateral subject to the applicable requirements of the NY UCC. The Lender
shall also be entitled to sell any or all of such Contracts individually for
the prevailing price as a commercially reasonable disposition of collateral
subject to the applicable requirements of the NY UCC. The specification in
this Section 14 of manners of disposition of collateral as being commercially
reasonable shall not preclude the use of other commercially reasonable methods
(as contemplated by the NY UCC) at the option of the Lender. Upon disposition
of the Collateral and repayment in full to the Lender of all amounts owing

-19-

against the Lender, whether relating to or arising out of, this Agreement, the
Secured Note, or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, or any
amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in
respect of, this Agreement, the Secured Note, or any transaction contemplated
hereby or thereby, that, in each case, results from anything other than the
Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct. In any suit, proceeding or
action brought by the Lender in connection with any Contract for any sum owing
thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Contract, the Borrower will
save, indemnify and hold the Lender harmless from and against all expense, loss
or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment
or reduction or liability whatsoever of the account debtor or Obligor
thereunder, arising out of a breach by the Borrower of any obligation
thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at
any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or Obligor or its
successors from the Borrower. The Borrower also agrees to reimburse the Lender
for all its costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or
the preservation of the Lender's rights under this Agreement, the Secured Note,
or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation
the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel. The Borrower hereby
acknowledges that, notwithstanding the fact that the Secured Note is secured by
the Collateral, the obligation of the Borrower under the Secured Note is a
recourse obligation of the Borrower.
(b) The Borrower agrees to pay as and when billed by the
Lender all of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in
