ARTICLE II.
AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE PURCHASES
SECTION 2.01. AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE. Prior to the Termination Date and
subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Buyer shall, on each Purchase
Date, purchase, or agree to have contributed to it, all the Originator's right,
title and interest in and to the Lease Receivables arising under the Leases
described in the Sale Notice for such Purchase Date, together with all right,
title and interest of Originator in and to the Purchased/Contributed Assets
related thereto, including, without limitation, the Equipment related thereto
(each, a "Purchase"), from the Originator on the terms hereof.
(b) Although the parties hereto intend that each transfer made
hereunder shall constitute a sale of chattel paper with respect to Purchased
Lease Receivables and related Leases, and a capital contribution of the other
related Purchased/Contributed Assets, to protect the Buyer in the event that,
contrary to the express intent of the parties hereto, the transactions
contemplated hereunder are characterized as loans from the Buyer to the
Originator, the Originator hereby pledges, grants a security interest in and
assigns to the Buyer, all of the Originator's right and title to and interest in
the Purchased Lease Receivables and the other Purchased/Contributed Assets as
security for such loans and for the payment and performance of all obligations
of the Originator hereunder. The foregoing pledge, grant of a security interest
and assignment from Originator to Buyer is an unconditional, present pledge,
grant of a security interest in, and assignment of the Purchased Lease
Receivables and the other Purchased/Contributed Assets.
SECTION 2.02. MAKING PURCHASES FROM THE ORIGINATOR.
(a) At least 10 Business Days before each Purchase Date, the
Originator shall give the Buyer, the Servicer and the Agent written notice of
the Purchase to occur on such date (in each case, a "SALE NOTICE") including (i)
a schedule listing all Leases and related Equipment subject to such Purchase
(which shall only include Lease Receivables that are Eligible Lease
Receivables), (ii) a list of Related Security with respect to such Lease
Receivables (to the extent such information is available to Buyer after
reasonable diligence), (iii) the amortization schedule (in the aggregate) of the
Lease Receivable arising under such Leases, and (iv) the applicable Purchase
Price Discount Rate (as hereinafter defined),
(b) The purchase price (the "PURCHASE PRICE") payable for the
Purchased/Contributed Assets transferred to the Buyer on any Purchase Date shall
be an amount equal to the aggregate present values of the aggregate amount of
the remaining Periodic Installments of Rent under each Lease listed in the
related Sale Notice, with such aggregate amount discounted to present value
using the Purchase Price Discount Rate applicable on such Purchase Date and a
-5-
payment schedule of the first day of each month commencing with the first day of
the month in which the Purchase Price is calculated. "PURCHASE PRICE DISCOUNT
RATE" means, for purposes of the foregoing calculation, the rate set forth in
each Sale Notice (and agreed to by the Buyer), which rate is a reflection of
actual historical losses of the Originator with respect to similar Leases
(taking into account, among other things, the credit quality of the Obligors,
the type of Equipment and the remaining term on the Leases) and the anticipated
carrying costs of the Buyer (which may include a weighted average of the Senior
Discount Rate and the Junior Discount Rate).
(c) Except as otherwise provided below in this SECTION 2.02,
the Purchase Price for the Purchased/Contributed Assets sold by the Originator
under this Agreement shall be payable in full in cash by the Buyer, in each case
on the applicable Purchase Date, except that the Buyer may, with respect to any
Purchase, offset against such Purchase Price any amounts owed by the Originator
to the Buyer hereunder with respect to repurchase obligations which remain
unpaid. On the date of each Purchase, the Buyer shall, upon satisfaction of the
applicable conditions set forth in Article III, make available to the Originator
the portion of the Purchase Price payable in cash referred to above in same day
funds.
(d) Notwithstanding SECTION 2.02(c) above, if, on any Purchase
Date, the Buyer has insufficient funds to pay in full the Purchase Price owed on
such day, then the Originator shall be deemed to have contributed to the capital
of the Buyer Purchased/Contributed Assets having a Purchase Price equal to the
portion of the total Purchase Price owed on such day which is not paid in cash.
SECTION 2.03. Security Deposits and Taxes.
(a) The amount of any security deposits received by Originator
attributable to any Lease included in any Sale Notice shall be held by
Originator and either returned to the Obligor or applied to the Obligor's lease
obligations by remitting to Buyer, both in accordance with the terms of such
Lease.
(b) (i) The amount of any sales or use taxes or personal
property taxes attributable to any Lease, Lease Receivable, Equipment or other
Purchased/Contributed Asset received by Originator with respect to any Lease
included in a Sale Notice, and not yet applied to payment of such taxes, shall
be held by Originator in trust in its segregated tax account and applied to the
payment of such taxes before the same becomes delinquent.
(ii) The amount of any sales or use taxes or personal
property taxes attributable to any Lease, Lease Receivable, Equipment or other
Purchased/Contributed Asset paid by an Obligor after the Purchase Date for such
property, shall be held by Buyer (either by Buyer or through its agents,
including Servicer) in trust in a segregated tax account on behalf of the
Obligor to be applied to the payment of such taxes before the same becomes
delinquent.
(c) (i) The amount of any insurance premiums attributable
to any Lease, Lease Receivable, Equipment or other Purchased/Contributed Asset
received by Originator with respect to any Lease included in a Sale Notice, and
-6-
not yet applied to payment of such insurance premiums, shall be held by
Originator in trust and applied to the payment of insurance premiums before the
same becomes delinquent.
(ii) The amount of any insurance premiums attributable
to any Lease, Lease Receivable, Equipment or other Purchased/Contributed Asset
paid by an Obligor after the Purchase Date for such property, shall be held by
Buyer (either by Buyer or through its agents, including Servicer) in trust on
behalf of the Obligor to be applied to the payment of such insurance premiums
before the same becomes delinquent.
SECTION 2.04. COLLECTIONS. Any Collections received (or deemed to have
been received) by the Originator shall be held in trust by Originator for the
benefit of the Buyer and shall be remitted directly to the Buyer by depositing
such Collections in the Lockbox Account within two Business Days of Originator's
knowledge of receipt thereof.
SECTION 2.05. TRANSFER OF RECORDS TO THE BUYER.
(a) In connection with the Purchases of Lease Receivables and
related Purchased/Contributed Assets hereunder, the Originator hereby sells,
transfers, assigns and otherwise conveys to the Buyer all of the Originator's
right and title to and interest in the Records relating to all Purchased Lease
Receivables, and the Leases and Equipment included in the Purchased/Contributed
Assets, without the need for any further documentation in connection with any
Purchase. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Originator hereby grants to the
Buyer and its agents, including the Servicer an irrevocable, non-exclusive
license to use, without royalty or payment of any kind, all software used by the
Originator to account for the Purchased Lease Receivables and related
Purchased/Contributed Assets, to the extent necessary to administer such assets,
whether such software is owned by the Originator or is owned by others and used
by the Originator under license agreements with respect thereto. The license
granted hereby shall be irrevocable, and shall terminate upon the termination of
this Agreement.
(b) The Originator shall take such action reasonably requested
by the Buyer and/or the Servicer, from time to time hereafter, that may be
necessary or appropriate, including the transfer of certain Records to the
Custodian as provided in SECTION 5.01(d), to ensure that Buyer has (i) access
to, and an enforceable and ownership interest in, the Records relating to the
Purchased Lease Receivables and related Purchased/Contributed Assets and (ii) an
enforceable right (whether by license or sublicense or otherwise) to use all of
the computer software used to account for the Purchased Lease Receivables and
related Purchased/Contributed Assets and/or to recreate such Records.
SECTION 2.06. PERFECTION OF LIENS; FURTHER ASSURANCES.
(a) Upon the request of the Buyer, the Originator shall, at
its expense, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents,
and take all further action (including, without limitation, the execution and
filing of such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or
assignments thereof), that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Buyer may
request, in order to (i) assure compliance with the Obligor UCC Filing
Requirement and (ii) perfect and protect any ownership or security interest
granted or purported to be granted to the Buyer hereunder or to enable the Buyer
to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any
-7-
Purchased/Contributed Assets. The Originator hereby authorizes the Buyer to file
one or more continuation statements, amendments and/or assignments of financing
statements, relative to all or any part of the Purchased/Contributed Assets now
existing or hereafter arising without the signature of the Originator where
permitted by law. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement
or any financing statement covering the Purchased/Contributed Assets or any part
thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement. The Originator will
furnish to the Buyer from time to time statements and schedules further
identifying and describing the Purchased/Contributed Assets and such other
reports in connection with the Purchased/Contributed Assets as the Buyer may
reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.
(b) The Originator shall xxxx its master data processing
records evidencing the Purchased Lease Receivables and related Leases with a
legend, acceptable to the Buyer, evidencing that the Buyer has acquired the
ownership thereof as provided in this Agreement. If the Originator fails to
perform any of its agreements or obligations under this Agreement, the Buyer may
(but shall not be required to) itself perform, or cause performance of, such
agreement or obligation, and the expenses of the Buyer incurred in connection
therewith shall be payable by the Originator upon the Buyer's demand therefor;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, prior to taking any such action, the Buyer shall give notice
of such intention to the Originator and provide the Originator with a reasonable
opportunity to take such action itself.

with any such applicable law, rule or regulation;
(iii) the reduction of Purchased Lease Receivables due to any
Permitted Encumbrance (except in favor of the Buyer or its assignees)
whether existing at the time of the Purchase of such Lease Receivable
or at any time thereafter to the extent arising by, through or under

Originator in SECTION 4.01 hereof is incorrect at the time made and materially
and adversely affects the interest of the Buyer, the Agent or the Lenders, then
the Originator shall eliminate or otherwise cure the circumstance or condition
which has caused such representation or warranty to be incorrect within 15 days
(or such longer period as the Buyer and Agent may in their discretion consent
to) after the discovery thereof by or notice thereof to the Originator. If such
breach relates to whether a Purchased Lease Receivable is an Eligible Lease
Receivable as of the Purchase Date, and the Originator fails or is unable to
cure such circumstances or condition within such cure period, then on or before
the next succeeding Settlement Date after the expiration of such cure period,
the Originator shall purchase, for the Repurchase Price, each Purchased Lease
Receivable and the related Purchased/Contributed Assets as to which such
representation or warranty is incorrect. The proceeds of any such repurchase
shall be remitted by the Originator to Buyer by depositing into the Lockbox

Purchased Lease Receivable and related Purchased/Contributed Assets pursuant to
this SECTION 7.02 shall be made without recourse or warranty, express or implied
(other than a representation and warranty that such Lease Receivable and related
Purchased/Contributed Assets are free and clear of any Adverse Claim created by
or through the Buyer). The Originator and the Buyer shall execute and deliver
such instruments of transfer or assignments as are necessary to vest ownership
of such Lease Receivable and such Purchased/Contributed Assets in the
