collection and such sale of the Equipment that it may deem necessary or
desirable, including the prudent delegation of such responsibilities. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer, in its own name or in
the name of a subservicer, shall, and is hereby authorized and empowered by the
Indenture Trustee, subject to Section 3.02 hereof, to execute and deliver (on
behalf of itself, the Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee or any of them) any and
all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release
or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Lease
Assets. The Servicer, acting alone or through a subservicer, also may, in its
sole discretion, waive any late Servicing Charges or any other fees that may be
collected in the ordinary course of servicing any Lease Asset. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, neither the Servicer, nor any subservicer, shall, except pursuant
to a judicial order from a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with a
permitted repurchase under the Transaction Documents or as otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement, release or waive the right to collect the Scheduled
Payments or any unpaid balance on any Lease Contract or Lease Receivable. The
Indenture Trustee shall, at the expense of the Servicer, furnish the Servicer,
or at the request of the Servicer, any subservicer, with any powers of attorney
and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer or
subservicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and
the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for the Servicer's or
subservicer's application thereof. Notwithstanding the appointment by the
Servicer of a subservicer hereunder, the Servicer shall remain liable for the
full performance of its obligations hereunder.

      (b)  The Servicer (and any subservicer) shall conduct its management,
servicing, administration, collection or enforcement actions with respect to the
Lease Assets in the following manner:

           (i) The Servicer, as agent for and on behalf of the Assignees, with
      respect to any Defaulted Lease Contract shall follow such practices and
      procedures as are normal and consistent with the Servicer's standards and
      procedures relating to its own lease contracts, lease receivables and
      equipment that are similar to the Lease Assets, and, in any event,
      consistent with the standard

                                       6
<PAGE>

     of care described in Section 3.02 hereof, including without limitation, the
     taking of appropriate actions to foreclose or otherwise liquidate any such
     Defaulted Lease Contract, together with the related Equipment, to collect
     any Guaranty Amounts, and to enforce LFC VI's and the Issuer's rights under
     the Lease Acquisition Agreement and the Receivables Purchase Agreement. All
     Insurance Proceeds, Guaranty Amounts and other Recoveries in respect of any
     such Defaulted Lease Contract and the related Lease Receivables and
     Equipment received by the Servicer shall be remitted to the Indenture
     Trustee for deposit in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.03(c)
     hereof;

          (ii)  The Servicer may sue to enforce or collect upon Lease Assets as
     agent for LFC VI, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee. If the Servicer
     elects to commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Lease Asset, the act of
     commencement shall be deemed to be an automatic assignment of the Lease
     Asset to the Servicer for purposes of collection only. If, however, in any
     enforcement suit or legal proceeding it is held that the Servicer may not
     enforce a Lease Asset on the ground that it is not a real party in interest
     or a holder entitled to enforce the Lease Asset, then the Indenture Trustee
     ,on behalf of the Noteholders (or LFC VI, as applicable) shall, at the
     Servicer's request and expense, take such steps as the Servicer deems
     necessary and instructs them in writing to take to enforce the Lease Asset,
     including bringing suit in its name or the name of the Issuer, as
     beneficial owner of the Lease Receivable, LFC VI as beneficial owner of the
     Equipment, or the names of the Noteholders, as third party beneficiaries
     thereunder, and the Indenture Trustee shall be indemnified by the Servicer
     for any such action taken. Any Lease Contract temporarily released from the
     custody of the Indenture Trustee to the Servicer or its agents shall have
     stamped on it prior to its delivery a legend to the effect that the Lease
     Receivable is the property of the Issuer, the Lease Contract and the
     Equipment is the property of LFC VI and all of the foregoing have been
     pledged to Norwest Bank Minnesota, National Association as Indenture
     Trustee;

          (iii) The Servicer shall exercise any rights of recourse against third
     parties that exist with respect to any Lease Asset in accordance with the
     Servicer's usual practice and, in any event, consistent with the standard
     of care described in Section 3.02 hereof. In exercising recourse rights,
     the Servicer is authorized on the Indenture Trustee's behalf to reassign
     the Lease Asset to the person against whom recourse exists to the extent
     necessary, and at the price set forth in the document creating the
     recourse. The Servicer will not reduce or diminish such recourse rights,
     except to the extent that it exercises such right;

          (iv)  The Servicer may not allow substitutions of Substitute Lease
     Receivables or Substitute Lease Contracts that do not comply with Section
     3.09 hereof, Sections 3.03 and 3.04 of the Lease Acquisition Agreement,
     Sections 3.03 and 3.04 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement and Sections
     4.04 and 4.05 of the Indenture, as applicable. If an Obligor requests a
     financing of an upgrade to any Equipment, the Servicer shall either (A)
     include such upgrade on an existing Lease Contract and treat the Scheduled
     Payments related thereto as an Additional Lease Contract for all purposes
     of the Transaction Documents, or (B) originate a separate lease contract
     for such Obligor;

          (v)   The Servicer may waive, modify or vary any terms of any Lease
     Contract or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such
     term if in the Servicer's reasonable and prudent determination such waiver,
     modification or postponement is not materially adverse to the Noteholders;
     provided, however, that (A) the Servicer shall not forgive any payment of
     --------  -------
     rent, and (B) the Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect
     to any Lease Contract that would decrease the Scheduled Payment, defer the
     payment of any principal or interest or any Scheduled

                                       7

<PAGE>

      Payment, reduce the Implicit Principal Balance (except in connection
      with actual payments attributable to such Implicit Principal Balance), or
      prevent the complete amortization of the Implicit Principal Balance from
      occurring by the Calculation Date preceding the Stated Maturity of the
      Notes. The Servicer shall provide the Back-up Servicer and the Indenture
      Trustee with an Amended Lease Collateral Schedule to the related Lease
      Collateral Schedule reflecting any modification of any Scheduled Payment;

           (vi)   Unless the Obligor has paid an amount not less than the IPB
      for such Lease Contract plus any related breakage costs payable by the
      Issuer, the Servicer shall not consent to the termination of any Lease
      Contract in connection with loss of or damage to the related Equipment or
      to the prepayment of any Lease Contract;

           (vii)  Upon termination of a Lease Contract after payment of the last
      Scheduled Payment due thereunder or in the event that the Servicer or any
      subservicer in the enforcement of any Lease Contract otherwise (A)
      acquires title to any item of Equipment with respect to which title was
      held by the Obligor or (B) reclaims possession of Equipment from the
      Obligor, the Servicer shall use its best efforts to sell or re-lease such
      item of Equipment promptly and consistent with the standard of care set
      forth in Section 3.02 hereof. Any Insurance Proceeds, Recoveries or
      Residual Proceeds related thereto shall be deposited in accordance with
      Section 3.03(c) hereof; and

           (viii) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in
      this Agreement, the Servicer or any subservicer shall exercise any right
      under a Lease Contract to accelerate the unpaid Scheduled Payments, due or
      to become due thereunder in such a manner as to maximize the net proceeds
      available to the Trust Estate; provided, however, that the Servicer will
                                     --------  -------
      not accelerate any Scheduled Payment unless permitted to do so by the
      terms of the Lease Contract or under applicable law.

      (c) The Servicer shall use its best efforts to verify that each
computation of Aggregate Eligible IPB and such other related computations made
for purposes of any Funding Notice and Monthly Servicing Report shall be made
using only those Lease Contracts that, if funded on a prior Acquisition Date,
continue to meet as of such date of determination the eligibility criteria set
forth in Section 3.01(a) (other than (a)(vi)) and 3.01(b) of the Lease
Acquisition Agreement; provided however, that the Servicer shall not exclude
from eligibility any Lease Contract solely as a result of the failure of such
Lease Contract to meet, after the close of the Accumulation Period, a percentage
concentration limit that was otherwise satisfied at the close of the
Accumulation Period.

      Section 3.02 Servicer Standard of Care. In managing, administering,
servicing, enforcing and making collections on the Lease Assets pursuant to this
Agreement, the Servicer will exercise that degree of skill and care consistent
with industry standards for servicing of small ticket leasing portfolios, and
that which the Servicer customarily exercises with respect to similar lease
contracts, lease receivables and equipment owned or originated by it, and in any
event, in a prudent and commercially reasonable manner. The Servicer shall
punctually perform all of its obligations and agreements under this Agreement
and shall comply with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations,
shall maintain all state and federal licenses and franchises necessary for it to
perform its servicing responsibilities hereunder, and shall not materially
impair the rights of the Noteholders in any Lease Assets or payments thereunder.

      Section 3.03 ACH Account and Servicer Remittances.

                                       8

      (a) The Servicer has established an ACH Account at the ACH Bank and will
cause an ACH Agreement to be executed on or before the Initial Funding Date. The
ACH Bank may be removed by the Servicer with the consent of the Indenture
Trustee and the Majority Noteholders if the ACH Bank has failed to perform its
duties to the satisfaction of the Servicer, provided that a successor ACH Bank
                                            --------
is approved by the Majority Noteholders and has executed an ACH Agreement in
form and substance satisfactory to the Majority Noteholders and the Servicer.

to, transfer to the Collection Account all amounts on deposit in the ACH Account

a Business Day, on the next Business Day thereafter, the amounts described below
that have been collected by it through 5:00 p.m. California time on the
preceding Business Day so long as such amounts exceed $1,000:

           (i)   all Scheduled Payments, including any prepayment amounts in
      respect thereof, received directly by the Servicer;

           (ii)  all Guaranty Amounts, Insurance Proceeds and other Recoveries,
      to the extent received by the Servicer;

           (iii) the Lease Receivable Repurchase Price of any Lease Receivable
      purchased by LFG, LFC VI, or the Issuer, to the extent received by the
      Servicer; and

           (iv)  any other amounts constituting proceeds of the Lease
      Receivables and Related Security (other than Residual Proceeds), to the
      extent received by the Servicer.

      The Servicer shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Noteholders any
payment it receives relating to items (i) through (iv) above until such time as
the Servicer transfers any such payment to the Indenture Trustee for deposit in
the Collection Account.

      (d)  The Servicer, as agent for LFC VI, shall remit to or at the direction
of LFC VI, all Residual Proceeds (including the excess, if any, of the Lease
Contract Repurchase Price over the Lease Receivable Repurchase Price for a
particular Lease Asset) collected by the Servicer with respect to the Lease
Assets.

      Section 3.04 Servicer Advances. Not later than 1:00 p.m. Minneapolis time
on the Submission Date prior to each Payment Date, the Servicer may make an
advance (a "Servicer Advance") for each Lease Contract which is a Delinquent
Lease Contract on such date by remitting to the Indenture Trustee for deposit in
the Collection Account an amount equal to the Scheduled Payments, or unpaid
portion thereof, which were due in the prior Collection Period but not received
and deposited in the Collection Account on or prior to such Calculation Date;
provided, however, that the Servicer is not be obligated to make any Servicer
--------  -------
Advance pursuant to this Section 3.04 that the Servicer determines in good faith
is unlikely to be eventually repaid by the related Obligor or by way of a
Recovery; and provided, further, that the Servicer may not make a Servicer
              --------  -------
Advance with respect to any Lease Contract once it has become a Defaulted Lease
Contract. On each Submission Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Back-up
Servicer and the Indenture Trustee the Monthly

re-perfection of such security interest on its behalf as Indenture Trustee, as

          --------
that practiced by other lessors in the industry with similar lease contracts and
equipment owned or serviced by them, including charging Loss and Damage Waiver
Fees or other noncompliance fees in lieu of requiring an Obligor to maintain an
Insurance Policy. Any Insurance Proceeds shall be remitted to the Indenture
Trustee for deposit in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.03(c). With
respect to those Lease Contracts under which the Servicer allows an Obligor to
elect to pay a Loss and Damage Waiver Fee in accordance with the terms thereof,

behalf of LFC VI, pay or cause to be paid all personal property, sales and use
taxes on or with respect to the Equipment, or the acquisition or leasing
thereof, as and when such taxes become due, to the extent an Obligor has paid
amounts to the Servicer or into the ACH Account for such taxes. The Servicer
shall also cause to be filed in a timely manner any and all returns and reports
required in connection with the payment of such taxes.

forth in the Indenture. The Servicer shall pay all expenses incurred by it in
connection with its servicing activities hereunder, including, without
limitation, payment of the fees and disbursements of the Independent Accountants
and payment of expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports to
the Indenture Trustee, the Back-up Servicer and the Noteholders and payment of
the fee of the ACH Bank under the ACH Agreement, and shall not be entitled to
reimbursement for such expenses; provided, however, that the Servicer will be
                                 --------  -------
entitled to reimbursement from LFC VI and the Issuer for reasonable costs and

the scheduled expiration date or prepayment of any Lease Contract (except as may
be specifically required under such Lease Contract in connection with a casualty
to the related Equipment or under Section 3.01(b)(vi)), unless LFC VI or the
Issuer has (i) pledged to the Indenture Trustee, a Substitute Lease Contract,
the Substitute Lease Receivables related such Substitute Lease Contract and the
Related Security and delivered to the Indenture Trustee the original executed
counterpart of the Substitute Lease Contract or (ii) received a prepayment
amount with respect to such prepaid Lease Asset that is at least equal to the
Lease Receivable Repurchase Price, which prepayment amount has been deposited
into the Collection Account in accordance with Section 3.03(c) hereof; provided,
                                                                       --------

or any Delinquent Lease Contract from the Trust Estate by remittance by LFC VI
or the Issuer to the Servicer, for deposit in the Collection Account in
accordance with Section 3.03(c) hereof, of the applicable Lease Receivable
Repurchase Price or (ii) substitute for any Lease Receivable related to any
Defaulted Lease Contract or any Delinquent Lease Contract, a Substitute Lease
Receivable and a security interest in the Related Security for such Substitute

permitted under and comply with the requirements of Sections 4.04 and 4.05 of
the Indenture and the criteria set forth in Section 3.04 of the Lease
Acquisition Agreement and Section 3.04 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

      (c) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, the
Servicer shall not, with respect to a Defaulted Lease Contract, (i) negotiate or
enter into a new lease with the Obligor relating to the Equipment or the
Obligor's obligations under such Defaulted Lease Contract or (ii) allow the
Obligor thereunder to resume its rights under such Defaulted Lease Contract,
unless LFC VI or the Issuer has removed or made a substitution for the Lease
Receivable related to such Defaulted Lease Contract in the manner set forth in
subsection (b) hereof.

      (d) In the event that LFG is required to repurchase or substitute a Lease
Contract pursuant to Sections 2.05 or 3.03 of the Lease Acquisition Agreement,

3.03 and 3.04 thereof.

      Section 4.01 Monthly Servicing Reports; Funding Notices. No later than

upon the request of any Noteholder, to any prospective transferee of any Note
which has executed an agreement with the Issuer and the Servicer containing
terms substantially similar to those set forth in Section 4.04(f) hereof):

          (i)  within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of NOVA, a copy

      accompanied by an opinion of the Independent Accountants or a firm of
      independent certified public accountants of recognized national standing
      stating that such financial statements present fairly the financial
      condition of NOVA (or, in the case of a successor Servicer, such successor
      Servicer's financial condition) and have been prepared in accordance with
      generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (except for
      changes in application in which such accountants concur), and that the
      examination of such accountants in connection with such financial
      statements has been made in accordance with generally accepted auditing
      standards, and accordingly included such tests of the accounting records
      and such other auditing procedures as were considered necessary in the
      circumstances;

          (ii) with each set of NOVA Financial Statements delivered pursuant to
      subsection (a)(i) above, the Servicer will deliver an Officer's
      Certificate stating that such officer has reviewed the relevant terms of
      the Transaction Documents and has made, or caused to be made, under such
      officer's supervision, a review of the transactions and conditions of LFG
      during the period covered by the NOVA Financial Statements then being
      furnished, that the review has not disclosed the existence of any Servicer
      Default or Servicing Termination Event or, if a Servicer Default or a
      Servicing Termination Event exists, describing its nature and what action
      the Servicer has taken and is taking with respect thereto, and that on the
      basis of such review the officer signing such certificate is of the
      opinion that during such period the Servicer has serviced the Lease Assets
      in compliance with the procedures hereof except as disclosed in such
      certificate.

      Termination Event, an Amortization Event, Rapid Amortization Event, or
      Event of Default a written notice describing its nature and period of
      existence and what action the Servicer is taking or proposes to take with
      respect thereto;

           (iv) promptly upon the Servicer's becoming aware of:

                (A) any proposed or pending investigation of LFG, LFC VI or the
           Issuer by any governmental authority or agency, or

                (B) any pending or proposed court or administrative proceeding
           which involves or may involve the probability of materially and
           adversely affecting the properties, business, prospects, profits or
           condition (financial or otherwise) of LFG, LFC VI, or the Issuer,

      a written notice specifying the nature of such investigation or proceeding
      and what action the Servicer is taking or proposes to take with respect
      thereto and evaluating its merits;

           (v) with reasonable promptness any other data and information with
      respect to the Servicer or the Lease Assets which may be reasonably
      requested from time to time, including without limitation any information
      required to be made available at any time to any prospective transferee of
      any Notes in order to satisfy the requirements of Rule 144A under the
      Securities Act of 1933, as amended;

           (vi)   such other information as may be specified in the Indenture;

      (b)  On or before each April 15, so long as any of the Notes are
outstanding, the Servicer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee and the
Noteholders an Officer's Certificate either stating that such action has been
taken with respect to the recording, filing, and rerecording and refiling of any
financing statements and continuation statements as necessary to maintain the
interest of the Indenture Trustee created by the Indenture with respect to the
Trust Estate and reciting the details of such action or stating that no such
action is necessary to maintain such interest. Such Officer's Certificate shall
also describe the recording, filing, rerecording and refiling of any financing
statements and continuation statements that will be required to maintain the
interest of the Indenture Trustee in the Trust Estate until the date such next
Officer's Certificate is due.

      Section 4.03 Annual Independent Accountants' Reports; Annual Federal Tax
Lien Search.

      (a) Promptly after the end of the Servicer's fiscal year, commencing with
the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000, the Servicer at its expense shall
cause the Independent Accountants (who may also

                                       14
<PAGE>

render and deliver other services to the Servicer and its Affiliates) to prepare
a statement to the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders, dated as of the close
of such fiscal year, to the effect that the Independent Accountants have
examined the servicing procedures, manuals, guides and records of the Servicer,
and the accounts and records of the Servicer relating to the Lease Contracts and
any files or documentation pertaining to the Lease Assets (which procedures,
manuals, guides and records shall be described in one or more schedules to such
statement), that such Independent Accountants have compared the information
contained in the Monthly Servicing Reports delivered in the relevant period with
information contained in the accounts and records for such period, and that, on
the basis of such examination and comparison, nothing has come to the
Independent Accountants' attention to indicate that the Servicer has not, during
the relevant period, serviced the Lease Assets in compliance with such servicing
procedures, manual and guides and in the same manner required by the Servicer's
standards and with the same degree of skill and care consistent with that which
the Servicer customarily exercises with respect to similar Lease Assets owned by
it and otherwise in compliance with this Agreement, that such accounts and
records have not been maintained in accordance with Section 4.04 hereof, that
the information contained in the Monthly Servicing Reports does not reconcile
with the information contained in the accounts and records or that such
certificates, accounts and records have not been properly prepared and
maintained in all material respects or in accordance with the requirements of
this Agreement, except in each case for (i) such exceptions as the Independent
Accountants shall believe to be immaterial and (ii) such other exceptions as
shall be set forth in such statement. The Servicer shall deliver to the Back-up
Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders a copy of any such statement
within 120 days of the close of the relevant fiscal year.

      If such independent public accountants require the Indenture Trustee to
agree to the procedures to be performed by such firm in any of the reports
required to be prepared pursuant to this Section 4.03, the Servicer shall direct
the Indenture Trustee in writing to so agree; it being understood and agreed
that the Indenture Trustee will deliver such letter of agreement in conclusive
reliance upon the direction of the Servicer, and the Indenture Trustee has not
made any independent inquiry or investigation as to, and shall have no
obligation or liability in respect of, the sufficiency, validity or correctness
of such procedures.

      (b) Promptly after the end of the Servicer's fiscal year, commencing with
the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000, the Servicer, at its expense, shall
cause a search of any and all federal tax liens against the affiliated group of
which LFG, LFC VI and the Issuer are members within the meaning of Section 1504
of the Code (the "Affiliated Group") as of the end of such fiscal year to be
conducted and shall deliver to the Back-up Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and
the Noteholders on or before January 31 of each year, commencing January 31,
2001, an officer's certificate signed by a Servicing Officer (i) stating that
there are no outstanding federal tax liens filed against any member of the
Affiliated Group or (ii) listing the outstanding federal tax liens filed against
any member of such Affiliated Group. In the event any such certificate shall
disclose any such federal tax liens, the Servicer shall promptly thereafter,
satisfy any such federal tax liens.

      Section 4.04 Access to Certain Information.

      (a) The Servicer shall provide to the Back-up Servicer, the Indenture
Trustee and the Majority Noteholders and their duly authorized representatives,
attorneys or accountants access to any and all documentation regarding the Trust
Estate (including the Lease Collateral Schedule) that the Servicer may possess,
such access being afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request and
during normal business hours so as not to interfere unreasonably with the
Servicer's normal operations or customer or employee relations, at offices of
the Servicer designated by the Servicer.

                                       15
<PAGE>

      (b) At all times during the term hereof, the Servicer shall keep available
at its principal executive office for inspection by the Indenture Trustee, the
Back-up Servicer and the Majority Noteholders a list of all the Lease
Receivables and the interests in Related Security then held as a part of the
Trust Estate, together with a reconciliation of such list to that set forth in
the Lease Collateral Schedules and each of the Monthly Servicing Reports,
indicating the cumulative addition and removal of Lease Receivables and
interests in Related Security from the Trust Estate.

      (c) The Servicer will maintain Servicing Files, accounts and records as to
each Lease Receivable and interest in Related Security serviced by the Servicer
that are accurate and sufficiently detailed as to permit (i) the reader thereof
to know as of the most recent Calculation Date the status of such Lease
Receivable and interest in Related Security, including any payments, Insurance
Proceeds, Residual Proceeds and Recoveries received or owing (and the nature of
each) thereon and (ii) the reconciliation between payments, Insurance Proceeds,
Residual Proceeds or Recoveries on (or with respect to) each Lease Receivable
and interest in Related Security and the amounts from time to time deposited in
the Collection Account in respect of such Lease Receivable and interest in
Related Security.

      (d) The Servicer will maintain the LFG Database so that, from and after
each Acquisition Date and the grant of the security interest in the related
Lease Contract, Lease Receivables and Equipment to the Indenture Trustee, the
Servicer's accounts and records (including any back-up computer archives) that
refer to any such Lease Contracts, Lease Receivables or Equipment indicate
clearly that the Lease Contracts and the Equipment are owned by LFC VI and
pledged to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and that the
Lease Receivables are owned by the Issuer and pledged to the Indenture Trustee
for the benefit of the Noteholders. Indication of the Indenture Trustee's
interest in a Lease Contract or a Lease Receivable will be deleted from or
modified in the LFG Database or elsewhere on the Servicer's accounts and records
when, and only when, the Lease Contract or the Lease Receivable has been paid in
full, replaced with a Substitute Lease Contract or Substitute Lease Receivable,
as applicable, or purchased by LFG, LFC VI or the Issuer or assigned to the
Servicer pursuant to this Agreement.

      (e) Nothing in this Section 4.04 shall affect the obligation of the
Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information
regarding the Obligors, and the failure to provide information otherwise
required by this Section 4.04 as a result of such observance by the Servicer,
shall not constitute a breach of this Section 4.04.

      (f) All information obtained by the Indenture Trustee, the Back-up
Servicer or any Noteholder regarding the Obligors and the Lease Assets, whether
upon exercise of its rights under this Section 4.04 or otherwise, shall be
maintained by the Indenture Trustee, the Back-up Servicer and the Noteholders,
as applicable, in confidence and shall not be disclosed to any other Person,
unless such disclosure shall not violate any applicable law or regulation or any
proprietary rights of LFG, LFC VI, the Issuer or the Servicer or unless ordered
by a court of applicable jurisdiction.

      Section 4.05 Other Necessary Data. The Servicer shall, on request of the
Back-up Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Majority Noteholders, (i) on
reasonable notice, furnish the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders such data
necessary for the administration of the Trust Estate as can be reasonably
generated by the Servicer's existing data processing systems, and (ii) on and
after a Servicing Termination Event, within three Business Days, provide the
Indenture Trustee and the Back-up Servicer with access to the Servicer's
existing data processing systems and any files or records with respect to the
Lease Assets that it may have.

      Section 4.06 Indenture Trustee to Cooperate. Upon payment (including
through application of any Prepayment Amount) in full of any Lease Contract, the
Servicer will notify the Indenture Trustee on the next succeeding Calculation
Date by written certification to the Indenture Trustee (which certification
shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection
with such payments in full which are required to be deposited in the Collection
Account pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof have been so deposited) of a Servicing
Officer and shall request delivery of the Lease Contract to the Servicer. Upon
receipt of such delivery request, the Indenture Trustee shall within seven days
of such request by the Servicer release such Lease Contract to the Servicer.
Upon release of such Lease Contract, the Servicer is authorized to execute an
instrument in satisfaction of such Lease Contract and to do such other acts and
execute such other documents as it deems necessary to discharge the Obligor
thereunder and, if applicable, release any security interest in the Equipment
related thereto. The Servicer shall determine when a Lease Contract has been
paid in full. Upon the written request of a Servicing Officer and subject to the
Indenture Trustee's rights to indemnity contained herein and in the Indenture,
the Indenture Trustee shall perform such other acts as reasonably requested in
writing by the Servicer and otherwise cooperate with the Servicer in enforcement
of the Noteholders' rights and remedies with respect to Lease Assets.

                      THE SERVICER, LFC VI AND THE ISSUER


      Section 5.01 Servicer Indemnification.

      (a) The Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless LFC VI, the Issuer, the
Back-up Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Trust Estate and the Noteholders,
from and against any loss, liability, claim, expense, damage or injury suffered
or sustained to the extent that such loss, liability, claim, expense, damage or
injury arose out of or was imposed by reason of the failure by the Servicer to
perform its duties under this Agreement or are attributable to errors or
omissions of the Servicer related to such duties, including without limitation,
the inclusion of any Lease Contracts which the Servicer knew or should
reasonably have known were not Eligible Lease Contracts as of such date in any
computations of Aggregate Eligible IPB (and any related computations) made by it
in connection with any Funding Notice or Monthly Servicing Report; provided,
                                                                   --------
however, that the Servicer shall not indemnify any party to the extent that acts
-------
of fraud, gross negligence or breach of fiduciary duty by such party caused such
loss, liability, claim, expense, damage or injury.

      (b) The Servicer shall not be liable for any settlement of any action or
claim effected without its reasonable consent. If the Servicer has made any
indemnity payments to the Indenture Trustee, the Back-up Servicer or the
Noteholders pursuant to this Section 5.01 and such party thereafter collects any
of such amounts from others, such party will promptly repay such amounts
collected to the Servicer, without interest. The provisions of this Section 5.01
shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement.

      Section 5.02 Corporate Existence; Reorganizations.

      (a) The Servicer shall keep in full effect its existence and good standing
as a corporation in the State of California and will obtain and preserve its
qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in
which such qualification is or shall be necessary to enable the Servicer to
perform its duties under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party,
except where the failure to so qualify would not have a material adverse effect
on the Trust Estate or the ability of the Servicer to perform such duties ;
provided, however, that the Servicer may reincorporate in another state, if to
do so would be in the best interests of the Servicer and would not have a
material adverse effect upon the Noteholders.

      (b) The Servicer shall not (i) (other than pursuant to one or more
additional lease pool financings) convey, transfer or lease substantially all of
its assets as an entirety to any Person, or (ii) merge into or consolidate with
another Person without the consent of the Majority Noteholders.

      Section 5.03 Limitation on Liability of the Servicer. The Servicer and any
officer, director, employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on
any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any
Person with respect to any matters arising hereunder. No implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Servicer. In the event
the Servicer performs any activities beyond the requirements of this Agreement,
the Servicer shall have the option but will not be required to perform such
activities in the future.

      Section 5.04 The Servicer Not to Resign.

      (a) The Servicer shall not resign from the duties and obligations hereby
imposed on it except upon a determination by its Board of Directors that by
reason of change in applicable legal requirements, with which the Servicer
cannot reasonably comply, the continued performance by the Servicer of its
duties under this Agreement would cause it to be in violation of such legal
requirements, said determination to be evidenced by a resolution from its Board
of Directors to such effect, accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect
and reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Majority
Noteholders.

      (b) No such resignation shall become effective until a successor Servicer
shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer
hereunder.

      (c) Except as provided in Sections 5.02 and 6.01 hereof, the duties and
obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement shall continue until this
Agreement shall have been terminated as provided in Section 7.01 hereof, and
shall survive the exercise by LFC VI, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee of any
right or remedy under this Agreement, or the enforcement by LFC VI, the Issuer,
the Indenture Trustee, the Back-up Servicer or any Noteholder of any provision
of the Notes or this Agreement.

      (d) Nothing contained in this Section 5.04 shall impair or restrict the
ability of the Servicer or any successor Servicer to appoint a subservicer.

      Section 5.05 LFC VI and Issuer Indemnification. LFC VI and the Issuer
shall indemnify and hold harmless the Servicer (but solely from the amounts to
be distributed as set forth in Section 11.02(d)(xiv) of the Indenture) from and
against any loss, liability, expense, damage or injury suffered or sustained by
the Servicer, including but not limited to any judgment, award, settlement,
reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection
with the defense of any actual or threatened action, proceeding or claim, which
arises out of the Servicer's activities hereunder; provided, however, that
                                                   --------  -------
neither LFC VI nor the Issuer shall indemnify the Servicer if the Servicer's
activities constituted fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence (which
includes negligence with respect to the duties of the Servicer which are
explicitly set forth in this Agreement) or breach of fiduciary duty by the
Servicer.

                             SERVICING TERMINATION


     Section 6.01 Servicing Termination Events.

     (a) Any of the following acts or occurrences shall constitute a Servicing
Termination Event:

           (i)   Any failure by the Servicer to deliver to the Indenture Trustee
     for payment to Noteholders any proceeds or payments received from an
     Obligor or in respect of the Trust Estate and required to be so delivered
     under the terms of the Indenture and this Agreement that continues
     unremedied until 1:00 p.m. Minneapolis time on the second following
     Business Day; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee, upon receiving
                   --------  -------
     actual knowledge of such failure, shall give the Servicer and the
     Noteholders prompt written, telecopied or telephonic notice of such
     failure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any failure by the Indenture
     Trustee to deliver such notice to the Servicer or the Noteholders shall not
     prevent the occurrence of a Servicing Termination Event; or

           (ii)  Any failure by the Servicer to make a Servicer Advance pursuant
      to Section 3.04 hereof or to deliver a Monthly Servicing Report pursuant
      to Section 4.01 hereof that continues unremedied until 1:00 p.m.
      Minneapolis time the following Business Day; provided, however, that if
                                                   --------  -------
      the Servicer has not delivered the Monthly Servicing Report by 1:00 p.m.
      Minneapolis time on the Submission Date, the Indenture Trustee shall give
      the Servicer notice of such failure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
      failure by the Indenture Trustee to deliver such notice to the Servicer
      shall not prevent the occurrence of a Servicing Termination Event; or

           (iii) Any failure on the part of the Servicer to duly observe or
      perform any other material covenants or agreements of the Servicer set
      forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, as the case may
      be, or if any representation or warranty of the Servicer set forth in
      Section 2.01 of this Agreement shall prove to be incorrect, which failure
      or breach (A) materially and adversely affects or could affect the
      interest or rights of LFC VI, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, or the
      Noteholders and (B) continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the
      date on which the Servicer becomes aware of such failure or breach or
      written notice of such failure or breach, requiring the situation giving
      rise to such breach or non-conformity to be remedied, shall have been
      given to a Servicing Officer of the Servicer by LFC VI, the Issuer, the
      Indenture Trustee, or the Back-up Servicer, or to a Servicing Officer of
      the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee by the Majority Noteholders; or

           (iv)  The entry of a decree or order for relief by a court having
      jurisdiction in respect of the Servicer or a petition against the Servicer
      in an involuntary case under any federal bankruptcy laws, as now or
      hereafter in effect, or any other present or future federal or state
      bankruptcy insolvency or similar law, or appointing a receiver,
      liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar
      official for the Servicer or for any substantial part of its property, or
      ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Servicer and
      the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a
      period of 60 consecutive days; or

                                       20
<PAGE>

           (v)  The commencement by the Servicer of a voluntary case under any
      federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter in effect, or any other
      present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization
      or similar law, or the consent by the Servicer to the appointment of or
      taking possession by a conservator, receiver, liquidator, assignee,
      trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official in any
      insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities,
      bankruptcy or similar proceedings of or relating to the Servicer or
      relating to a substantial part of its property, or the making by the
      Servicer of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the failure by
      the Servicer generally to pay its debts as such debts become due or if the
      Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they
      become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Servicer in
      furtherance of any of the foregoing; or

           (vi) The occurrence of a Rapid Amortization Event.

      (b)  So long as a Servicing Termination Event shall not have been remedied
within the period set forth in (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, as applicable, or
if a Servicing Termination Event described in (v) above occurs, LFC VI, the
Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, or the Noteholders may, by notice (the "Servicer
Termination Notice") then given in writing to the Servicer and the Back-up
Servicer , terminate all, but not less than all, of the rights and obligations
of the Servicer under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a delay in
or failure of performance under Section 6.01(a)(iii) hereof for a period of 30
or more days, shall not constitute a Servicing Termination Event if such delay
or failure could not have been prevented by the exercise of reasonable diligence
by the Servicer and such delay or failure was caused by acts of declared or
undeclared war, public disorder, rebellion or sabotage, epidemics, landslides,
lightning, fire, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods or similar causes. The
preceding sentence shall not relieve the Servicer from using its best efforts to
perform its obligations in a timely manner in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, and the Servicer shall provide LFC VI, the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee, the Back-up Servicer and the Noteholders with prompt notice of such
failure or delay by it, together with a description of its efforts to so perform
its obligations.

      (c)  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, LFC VI, the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee, or the Majority Noteholders may, by Servicer Termination
Notice then given in writing to the Servicer and the Back-up Servicer, terminate
all but not less than all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under
this Servicing Agreement.

      (d)  On or after the receipt by the Servicer of a Servicer Termination
Notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether
with respect to the Lease Receivables and interests in the Related Security or
otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the successor Servicer appointed
pursuant to Section 6.02 hereof, and, without limitation, 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 documents and other
instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to
complete the transfer of the Lease Receivables and interests in the Related
Security and related documents, or otherwise. The Servicer agrees to cooperate
with the Indenture Trustee, the Back-up Servicer and the successor Servicer in
effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer
hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the successor Servicer
for administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by
the Servicer for deposit, or have been deposited by the Servicer, in the
Collection Account or thereafter received with respect to any of the Lease
Assets. To assist the successor Servicer in enforcing all rights under the Lease
Assets and the Insurance Policies to the extent they relate to the Lease Assets,
the outgoing Servicer, at its own expense,

                                       21
<PAGE>

shall transfer its records (electronic and otherwise) relating to such Lease
Assets to the successor Servicer in such form as the successor Servicer may
reasonably request and shall transfer the related Servicing Files and all other
records, correspondence and documents relating to the Lease Assets that it may
possess to the successor Servicer in the manner and at such times as the
successor Servicer shall reasonably request. In addition to any other amounts
that are then payable to the Servicer under this Agreement, the Servicer shall
be entitled to receive reimbursements for any unreimbursed Servicer Advance made
during the period prior to the delivery of a Servicer Termination Notice
pursuant to this Section 6.01 which terminates the obligations and right of the
Servicer under this Agreement.

      Section 6.02 Back-up Servicer to Act; Taking of Bids; Appointment of
Successor Servicer.

      (a) (i)  On and after the time the Servicer resigns pursuant to Section
5.04 hereof or receives a Servicer Termination Notice pursuant to Section
6.01(b) hereof, the Back-up Servicer shall, unless prevented by law,
automatically and without further action be the successor Servicer. If the
Back-up Servicer cannot serve as successor Servicer, another firm reasonably
acceptable to the Majority Noteholders and, so long as a Servicer Termination
Event has not occurred, reasonably acceptable LFC VI and the Issuer shall be
appointed by the Issuer as the successor Servicer.

          (ii) The successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to
the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement and the
transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer
by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, however, that the successor
                                    --------  -------
Servicer (x) shall not be required to make any Servicer Advance if such Servicer
Advance would be prohibited by applicable law and (y) shall not be liable for
any acts or omissions of the outgoing Servicer or for any breach by the outgoing
Servicer of any of its representations and warranties contained herein or in any
related document or agreement. With the prior written consent of the Majority
Noteholders (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), the successor
Servicer may subcontract with another firm to act as subservicer so long as the
successor Servicer remains fully responsible and accountable for performance of
all obligations of the Servicer on and after the time the Servicer receives the
Servicer Termination Notice. The successor Servicer shall be entitled to the
Servicer Fee and any Additional Servicer Fee, subject to the taking of bids as
described in subsection (b) below.

      (b) Solely for purposes of establishing the fee to be paid to the Back-Up
Servicer upon receipt of a Servicer Termination Notice, the Issuer shall solicit
written bids, with a copy to the Noteholders (such bids to include a proposed
servicer fee and servicing transfer costs) from not less than three entities
experienced in the servicing of Lease Assets similar to the Lease Contracts,
Lease Receivables and the Equipment and that are not affiliates of LFC VI, the
Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Back-up Servicer or the Servicer and are
reasonably acceptable to the Majority Noteholders. Any such written solicitation
shall prominently indicate that bids should specify any applicable subservicing
fees required to be paid from the Servicer Fee and that any fees and transfer
costs in excess of the Servicer Fee shall be paid only pursuant to Section
11.02(d)(iii) of the Indenture as the Additional Servicer Fee. The successor
Servicer shall act as Servicer hereunder and shall, subject to the availability
of sufficient funds in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 11.02(d)(i)
(up to the Servicer Fee) and Section 11.02(d)(iii) (up to any successor
Servicer's Transition Costs and any Additional Servicer Fee) of the Indenture,
receive as compensation therefor a fee equal to the fee proposed in the bid so
solicited which provides for the lowest combination of servicer fee and
transition costs, as reasonably determined by the Majority Noteholders.
Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, in no event shall either
the Trustee or the Back-up Servicer be liable for any Servicing Fee

                                       22
<PAGE>

or for any differential in the amount of the Servicing Fee paid hereunder and
the amount necessary to induce any successor Servicer to act as successor
Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth provided for
herein.

      (c)   The Servicer, the Back-up Servicer, LFC VI, the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee and each successor Servicer shall take such action, consistent
with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
The Back-up Servicer (or the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders if such
Noteholders have previously reimbursed the Back-up Servicer and the Indenture
Trustee therefor) shall be reimbursed for Transition Costs, if any, incurred in
connection with the assumption of responsibilities of the successor Servicer,
upon receipt of documentation of such costs and expenses and in accordance with
Sections 11.02(d) of the Indenture. The Back-up Servicer shall have no claim
against the Issuer or the Trust Estate for any costs and expenses incurred in
effecting such succession in excess of the amount specified in the definition of
"Transition Costs."

      (d)   If the Back-up Servicer becomes the successor Servicer pursuant
hereto it shall use its best efforts to obtain a replacement Back-up Servicer
acceptable to the Issuer and the Noteholders.

      (e)   Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary, absent written notice detailing specific Errors (as defined below) or
other deficiencies, Norwest Bank, Minnesota, National Association ("Norwest"),
as successor Servicer, is authorized to accept and rely on all accounting,
records (including computer records) and work product of the prior Servicer
relating to the Lease Contracts (collectively, the "Predecessor Servicer Work
Product") without any audit or other examination thereof, and Norwest shall have
no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability for the acts and omissions of
the prior Servicer. If any error, inaccuracy, commission or incorrect or
nonstandard practice or procedure (collectively, "Errors") exist in any
Predecessor Servicer Work Product and such Errors make it materially more
difficult to service or should cause or materially contribute to Norwest making
or continuing any Errors (collectively, "Continued Errors"), Norwest shall have
no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability to perform servicing or for
such Continued Errors; provided, however, that Norwest agrees to use its best
efforts to prevent further Continued Errors. In the event that Norwest becomes
aware of Errors or Continued Errors, Norwest shall, with the prior consent of
the Majority Noteholders, use its best efforts to reconstruct and reconcile such
data as is commercially reasonable to correct such Errors and Continued Errors
and to prevent future Continued Errors. Norwest shall be entitled to recover its
costs thereby expended in accordance with Sections 6.08, Clause First, and
Section 11.02(d)(iii) and (xii) of the Indenture, as applicable.

      Section 6.03 Notification to Noteholders. The Servicer shall promptly
notify the Back-up Servicer, LFC VI, the Issuer, the Noteholders and the
Indenture Trustee of any Servicing Termination Event upon actual knowledge
thereof by a Servicing Officer. Upon any termination of, or appointment of a
successor to, the Servicer pursuant to this Article 6, the Indenture Trustee
shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Noteholders at their respective
addresses appearing in the Note Register.

      Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Indenture Trustee may, on behalf
of all Noteholders, waive any default by the Servicer in the performance of its
obligations hereunder and its consequences, other than a default with respect to
required deposits and payments in accordance with Article 3 or a default of the
type set forth in clause (iv) or (v) of Section 6.01(a) hereof, which waiver
shall require the consent of each Noteholder. Upon any such waiver of a past
default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicing Termination Event
arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of
this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default
or impair any right consequent

                                       23
<PAGE>

thereon except to the extent expressly waived. The Indenture Trustee shall
provide to the Noteholders notification of any such waiver and the basis
therefore.

      Section 6.05 Effects of Termination of Servicer.

      (a)   Upon the appointment of the successor Servicer, the predecessor
Servicer shall remit within 2 Business Days any Scheduled Payments and any other
payments or proceeds that it may receive with respect to the Lease Assets to the
successor Servicer after such date of appointment.

      (b)   After the delivery of a Servicer Termination Notice, the outgoing
Servicer shall have no further obligations with respect to the management,
administration, servicing, enforcement, custody or collection of the Lease
Assets and the successor Servicer shall have all of such obligations, except
that the outgoing Servicer will transmit or cause to be transmitted directly to
the successor Servicer, promptly on receipt and in the same form in which
received, any amounts held by the outgoing Servicer (properly endorsed where
required for the successor Servicer to collect them) received as payments upon
or otherwise in connection with the Lease Assets. The outgoing Servicer's
indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 5.01 hereof will survive the
termination of the Servicer but will not extend to any acts or omissions of a
successor Servicer.

      Section 6.06 No Effect on Other Parties. Upon any termination of the
rights and powers of the Servicer pursuant to Section 6.01 hereof, or upon any
appointment of a successor Servicer, all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of the other parties under this Agreement, the Indenture, and the
Lease Acquisition Agreement shall remain unaffected by such termination or
appointment and shall remain in full force and effect thereafter.

furnished to the Back-up Servicer and conforming to the requirements of this
Agreement; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions, which by any
provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Back-up
