                                                              Form 10-K for 2000

                               Capita Corporation
                              Management Assertion

In accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of
September 1, 2000 ("Servicing Agreement") among Capita Corporation (the
"Company") as Servicer, and in its individual capacity, NCT Funding Company,
L.L.C. as the Depositor and Allfirst Bank as the Indenture Trustee for the CIT
Equipment Collateral 2000-2, the Company is responsible for servicing the leases
and loans that are the subject of the Servicing Agreement.

The Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective controls
over the servicing of leases and loans. The controls are designed to provide
reasonable assurance to the Company's management and board of directors that
leases and loans are serviced in accordance with the Company's policies and
procedures as well as its responsibilities under the Servicing Agreement.

There are inherent limitations in any control, including the possibility of
human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls. Accordingly,
even effective controls can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to
the achievement of any objectives of controls. Further, because of changes in
conditions, the effectiveness of controls may vary over time.

The Company has determined the objectives of control with respect to its
servicing responsibilities. These stated control criteria are set forth in
Exhibit I. The Company has assessed its controls in relation to these criteria
and for the period from September 1, 2000 through December 31, 2000. Based upon
this assessment, the Company believes that its controls over servicing loans and
leases are effective in providing reasonable assurance that the Company complied
with its policies and procedures and responsibilities under the Servicing
Agreement.

                                                Capita Corporation, as Servicer



                                                By:
