     This SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of September 11, 2009 (this “Agreement” or
“Servicing Agreement”), by and between GE EQUIPMENT MIDTICKET LLC, SERIES 2009-1, a limited
liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Issuer”), and
GENERAL ELECTRIC CAPITAL CORPORATION (“GE Capital”), in its capacity as the servicer
hereunder (the “Servicer”).



     In consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, and for other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto agree as follows:



ARTICLE I




DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION




     Section 1.1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined
shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Section 1 of Annex A to this Agreement.



     Section 1.2. Other Interpretive Matters. For purposes of this Agreement, the other
interpretive matters set forth in Section 2 of Annex A shall govern. All exhibits,
schedules, and other attachments hereto, or expressly identified hereto are incorporated herein by
reference and, taken together with this Agreement, shall constitute but a single agreement.



ARTICLE II




APPOINTMENT OF THE SERVICER; CERTAIN DUTIES

AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE SERVICER.




     Section 2.1. Appointment of the Servicer. The Issuer hereby appoints the Servicer as
its agent to service the Loans and enforce its rights and interests in and under the Loans and to
serve in such capacity until the termination of its responsibilities pursuant to Sections
5.1 or 6.1. In connection therewith, the Servicer hereby accepts such appointment and
agrees to perform the duties and obligations set forth herein. The Servicer may, upon giving prior
written notice to the Issuer, delegate any duties to any Person, or subcontract with a
Sub-Servicer, for the collection, servicing or administration of the Loans; provided, that
(a) the Servicer shall remain liable for the performance of the duties and obligations of any
delegate or the Sub-Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof and (b) any Sub-Servicing Agreement that
may be entered into and any other transactions or services relating to the Loans involving a
Sub-Servicer shall be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and the Servicer alone, and the Issuer
shall not be deemed party thereto and shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect
to the Sub-Servicer.



     Section 2.2. Duties and Responsibilities of the Servicer. Subject to the provisions
of this Agreement, the Servicer shall conduct the servicing, administration and collection of the
Loans and shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions that (a) may be necessary or advisable to
service, administer and collect the Loans from time to time, (b) the Servicer would take if the
Loans were



Servicing Agreement




 









 







owned by the Servicer, and (c) are consistent with the Credit and Collection Policies. The
Servicer shall also perform on behalf of, and as directed by, the Issuer all of the Issuer’s
obligations under the Indenture other than any obligations to pay money and any obligations to be
performed by the Administrator under the Administration Agreement.




     Section 2.3. Unrelated Amounts. If the Servicer determines that amounts which are
not property of the Issuer (the “Unrelated Amounts”) have been deposited in the Collection
Account, then the Servicer shall provide written evidence thereof to the Issuer no later than the
first Business Day following the day on which the Servicer had actual knowledge thereof, which
evidence shall be provided in writing. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Servicer shall
withdraw the Unrelated Amounts from the Collection Account, and the same shall not be treated as
Available Amounts on Loans and shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 2.12.



     Section 2.4. Authorization of the Servicer. The Servicer is hereby authorized to
take any and all reasonable steps necessary or desirable and consistent with the ownership of the
Loans by the Issuer and pledge of the Loans to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture, in the
determination of the Servicer, to (a) collect all amounts due under the Loans, including endorsing
its name on checks and other instruments representing Available Amounts on the Loans, executing and
delivering 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 Loans, and consistent with its
normal procedures, arranging with the Obligor to extend or modify Scheduled Payments in its
discretion, and (b) after the Loans become delinquent and to the extent permitted under and in
compliance with applicable law and regulations, (i) commence proceedings with respect to the
enforcement of payment of the Loans, (ii) adjust, settle or compromise any payments due thereunder
and (iii) initiate proceedings against any Collateral securing the obligations due under the Loans,
in each case, consistent with the Credit and Collection Policies; provided, that, with
respect to clause (a) and (b) above, the Servicer shall not agree to any modification of the APR on
any Loan or of the amount of any Scheduled Payment on a Loan if such modification has a Material
Adverse Effect on the Noteholders; and provided, further, that in no event will
such modification be permitted to extend the final payment date beyond the Class C Maturity Date.



     If the Servicer shall commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Loan, the Issuer (in the case
of a Loan other than a Purchased Loan) shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned,
solely for the purpose of collection, such Loan to the Servicer. If in any enforcement suit or
legal proceeding it shall be held that the Servicer may not enforce a Loan on the ground that it
shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce such Loan, the Managing
Member shall take steps to enforce such Loan, including bringing suit in its name.



     The Issuer shall furnish (or cause to be furnished) the Servicer with any powers of attorney
and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and
administrative duties hereunder, and the Issuer shall assist the Servicer to the fullest extent to
enable the Servicer to collect the Loans and otherwise discharge its duties hereunder. In no event
shall the Servicer be entitled to make the Issuer a party to any litigation without the Issuer’s
express prior written consent.

     Section 2.5. Servicing Fees and Servicing Advances. (a) As compensation for its
servicing activities and as reimbursement for its reasonable expenses in connection therewith, the
Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fees for each Collection Period. The Servicer
shall be required to pay for all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities
hereunder (including any payments to accountants, counsel or any other Person) and shall not be
entitled to any payment therefor other than the Servicing Fees. The Servicer shall also be
entitled to reimbursement for any outstanding Servicing Advances owing to the Servicer with respect
to all preceding Collection Periods.




     (b) The Servicer may, but shall have no obligation to, make a Servicing Advance in the
manner and to the extent provided herein, but only to the extent the Servicer, in its sole
discretion, expects to be reimbursed for such advance. If the Servicer elects to make a
Servicing Advance, prior to the close of business on each Determination Date, the Servicer
will determine the amount of the advance that it has elected to make on the related Transfer
Date. The Servicer shall include information as to such determination in the Servicer’s
Certificate furnished by it in accordance with Section 2.7 and shall be obligated to
transfer to the Collection Account on or before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the
related Transfer Date in next day funds the amounts applicable to such determinations
appearing in such Servicer’s Certificate. All Servicing Advances shall be reimbursable to
the Servicer, without interest, when a payment relating to a Loan with respect to which an
advance has previously been made is subsequently received. Upon the determination by the
Servicer that reimbursement from the preceding source is unlikely or nonrecoverable, it will
be entitled to recover unreimbursed advances from Available Amounts on or in respect of
other Loans.



     Section 2.6. Covenants of the Servicer. The Servicer covenants and agrees that from
and after the Closing Date and until the earlier of the Class C Maturity Date or Redemption Date,
as applicable:




     (a) Ownership of Loans. The Servicer shall identify the Loans clearly and
unambiguously in its Servicing Records to reflect that the Loans are owned by the Issuer and
have been pledged to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture.




     (b) Compliance with Credit and Collection Policies; Law. The Servicer shall
comply in all material respects with the Credit and Collection Policies with respect to the
Loans and in all material respects with applicable law with respect to the Loans, unless, in
either case, such failure to comply would not be reasonably expected to cause a Material
Adverse Effect.



     Section 2.7. Servicer’s Certificate. On each Determination Date the Servicer shall
deliver to the Issuer, with a copy to the Indenture Trustee, the Seller and the Rating Agencies, a
Servicer’s Certificate in the form set forth as Exhibit A hereto and containing all information
necessary to make the distributions pursuant to Section 2.14 and the deposits to the
Collection Account pursuant to Section 2.12 for the Collection Period preceding the date of
such Servicer’s Certificate. Loans to be repurchased by the Seller shall be identified by the
Servicer by account number with respect to such Loan (as specified in the Schedule of Loans
delivered on the Closing Date).

     Section 2.8. Annual Statement as to Compliance; Notice of Default. (a) The Servicer
shall, and shall cause each Additional Servicer with which it has entered into a servicing
relationship with respect to the Loans to, deliver to the Issuer, with a copy to the Indenture
Trustee, on or before March 15 after the end of each calendar year of the Issuer (commencing with
the calendar year 2010), an Officers’ Certificate stating that: (i) a review of the activities of
the Servicer, or Additional Servicer, as appropriate, during the preceding 12-month period (or, in
the case of the first such certificate, from the Cut-off Date to December 31, 2009) and of its
performance under this Agreement has been made under such officer’s supervision and (ii) to the
best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, such Servicer, or Additional Servicer, as
appropriate, has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement, or the applicable
sub-servicing agreement in the case of an Additional Servicer, throughout such year or, if there
has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such
failure known to such officer and the nature and status thereof.




     (b) The Servicer shall deliver to the Issuer, with a copy to the Indenture Trustee,
promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof, but in no event later than five Business
Days thereafter, written notice in an Officers’ Certificate of any event that, with the
giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a Servicer Default under
Section 5.1.



     Section 2.9. Annual Reports on Assessment of Compliance with Servicing Criteria. On
or before March 15 of each calendar year of the Issuer (commencing with the calendar year 2010)
each Reporting Servicer shall furnish, and shall cause each Servicing Function Participant with
which it has entered into a servicing relationship with respect to the Loans to furnish, to the
Issuer, with a copy to the Indenture Trustee, a report on assessment of compliance with the
Servicing Criteria that contains (A) a statement by such Reporting Servicer of its responsibility
for assessing compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to it, (B) a statement that such
Reporting Servicer used the Servicing Criteria to assess compliance with the applicable Servicing
Criteria, (C) such Reporting Servicer’s assessment of compliance with the applicable Servicing
Criteria as of and for the period ending December 31, including, if there has been any material
instance of noncompliance with the applicable Servicing Criteria, a discussion of each such failure
and the nature and status thereof, and (D) a statement that a registered public accounting firm has
issued an attestation report on such Reporting Servicer’s assessment of compliance with the
applicable Servicing Criteria as of and for such period; such attestation shall be in accordance
with Rules 1-02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and the Securities
Exchange Act and shall be provided as an exhibit to such Reporting Servicer’s report on assessment
of compliance with the Servicing Criteria.



     Section 2.10. Appointment of Subservicer. The Servicer may at any time appoint a
subservicer to perform all or any portion of its obligations as Servicer hereunder;
provided, that the Servicer shall remain obligated and be liable to the Issuer, for the
servicing and administering of the Loans in accordance with the provisions hereof without
diminution of such obligation and liability by virtue of the appointment of such subservicer and to
the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and
administering the Loans. The fees and expenses of the subservicer shall be as agreed between the
Servicer and its subservicer from time to time and the Issuer shall have no responsibility
therefor.

     Section 2.11. Maintenance of Security Interests in Loans. The Servicer shall, in
accordance with the Credit and Collection Policies, take such steps as are necessary to maintain
perfection of the security interest created by each Loan in any of the Equipment. The Issuer
hereby authorizes the Servicer to take such steps as are necessary to re-perfect such security
interests on behalf of the Issuer or its assigns for any reason, including the filing of UCC
financing statements and any amendments thereto without the related debtor’s signature. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall make or maintain all required federal
lien filings or registrations in the name of the Issuer, as applicable. Upon discovery by the
Issuer or the Servicer of a breach of its obligation to maintain perfection of the security
interest in each Loan pursuant to this Section 2.11, which breach is reasonably likely to
have a Material Adverse Effect, the party discovering the same shall give prompt written notice
thereof to the other party hereto. As liquidated damages for such breach, the Issuer shall, on the
Transfer Date relating to the Collection Period during which the breach is discovered, request the
Servicer to, and the Servicer shall pay to, or at the direction of, the Issuer the Purchase Amount
for the applicable Loans (measured at the end of the Collection Period during which such breach is
discovered). Upon such payment, all rights, title and interest of the Issuer in and to such Loans
will be deemed to be automatically released without the necessity of any further action by the
Issuer, the Servicer or any other party and such Loans will become the property of the Servicer.



     Section 2.12. Accounts. As of the Closing Date, the Servicer shall establish and
maintain, on behalf of the Issuer and in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the
Collection Account and the Reserve Account, each of which shall be an Eligible Deposit Account in
the name of the Issuer.




     (a) Not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each Transfer Date, the Servicer
shall deposit into the Collection Account all Available Amounts with respect to the related
Collection Period that have not previously been deposited into the Collection Account (it
being understood that no such deposits are required to be made prior to the Transfer Date
unless a Daily Deposit Event has occurred).




     (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Daily Deposit Event, the
Servicer shall transfer to the Collection Account, on each Business Day in same day funds,
all Available Amounts then held or thereafter received by it that are required to be
deposited into the Collection Account, within two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof.



     Section 2.13. Reserve Account. The Servicer shall determine the amounts for deposit
into or for withdrawal from the Reserve Account on each Transfer Date in accordance with the
provisions of Section 8.4 of the Indenture.



     Section 2.14. Disbursement from the Collection Account. On each Transfer Date, the
Servicer, on behalf of the Issuer, shall withdraw from the Collection Account for payment to itself
an amount equal to any accrued but unpaid Servicing Fee and any accrued but unpaid Servicing
Advances owing to the Servicer (based on the information contained in the Servicer’s Certificate
delivered on the related Determination Date pursuant to Section 2.7) in accordance with
Section 2.5.

     Section 2.15. Limitation on Liability of Servicer and Others. Neither the Servicer
nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Servicer shall be under any
liability to the Issuer or the Noteholders, except as provided under this Agreement, for any action
taken or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement or for errors in
judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or
any such Person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful
misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement. The Servicer and any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on the advice of counsel or on any
document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any
matters arising hereunder.



     Except as provided in this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear
in, prosecute or defend any legal action that shall not be incidental to its duties to service the
Loans in accordance with this Agreement, and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or
liability; provided, however, that the Servicer may undertake any reasonable action
that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement, the Related Documents and the
rights and duties of the parties to this Agreement, the other Related Documents and the interests
of the Noteholders under the Indenture.



ARTICLE III

     (a) It is a corporation, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization and is duly qualified to do

hereunder requires it to be so qualified, except where the failure to comply would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

the transactions contemplated hereby.

of creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles, whether applied in a
proceeding at law or in equity.




     (d) No consent of, notice to, filing with or permits, qualifications or other action by
any Governmental Authority or any other party is required for the due execution, delivery
and performance of this Agreement, other than consents, notices, filings and other actions
which have been obtained or made or where the failure to get
such consent or take such action, individually or in the aggregate, would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     (e) There is no pending or, to its actual knowledge, threatened litigation of a
material nature against or affecting it, in any court or tribunal, before any arbitrator of
any kind or before or by any Governmental Authority (i) asserting the invalidity of this

to visit the properties of the Servicer utilized in connection with the collection, processing or
servicing of the Loans for the purpose of examining such Records, and (iii) to discuss matters

Issuer shall institute procedures to permit it to confirm the Loan Value in respect of any Loan;
provided that no one other than the Servicer, subject to any other arrangements made by the
Issuer, will contact an Obligor unless a Servicer Default has occurred. The Servicer agrees to

to the foregoing.

continuing, promptly upon request therefor, the Servicer shall deliver to the Issuer records
reflecting activity through the close of business on the immediately preceding Business Day.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Servicer Default, the Servicer shall
(i) deliver and turn over to the Issuer or to its representatives, or at the option of the
Issuer shall provide the Issuer or its representatives with access to, at any time, on
demand of the Issuer, all of the Servicer’s facilities, personnel, books and records
pertaining to the Loans, including all Records, (ii) allow the Issuer to occupy the premises
of the Servicer where such books, records and Records are maintained, and (iii) utilize such

any Permitted Encumbrances (as defined under the Sale Agreement or the Purchase and
Sale Agreement, as applicable), and (ii) of the occurrence of any event known to it which
would have a material adverse effect on the aggregate value of the Loans.




     (d) Further Assurances. The Servicer shall furnish to the Issuer from time to
time such statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Loans and such
other reports in connection with the Loans as the Issuer may reasonably request, all in
reasonable detail.



ARTICLE V




EVENTS OF SERVICER TERMINATION




     Section 5.1. Default. If any of the following events shall occur (regardless of the
reason therefor) with respect to the Servicer:




     (a) The Servicer shall (i) fail to make or give instructions for any deposit, transfer
or payment required to be made hereunder and the same shall remain unremedied for three (3)
Business Days, or (ii) fail or neglect to perform, keep or observe in any material respect
any other provision of this Agreement and the same shall remain unremedied for fifteen (15)
days after written notice thereof shall have been given by the Issuer to the Servicer;




     (b) Any representation or warranty of the Servicer herein or in any written statement,
report, financial statement or certificate made or delivered by the Servicer to the Issuer
hereto or thereto shall be untrue or incorrect in any material respect as of the date when
made or deemed made and shall not be corrected for a period of sixty (60) days after either
(i) any Authorized Officer of the Servicer becomes aware thereof or (ii) notice thereof has
been given to such Person by the Issuer; or




     (c) A Bankruptcy Event shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the
Servicer;


then, upon the occurrence of any of such events (each, a “Servicer Default”), the Issuer
may deliver a notice (a “Servicer Termination Notice”) to the Servicer, terminating the
servicing responsibilities of the Servicer hereunder, without demand, protest or further notice of
any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Servicer. Upon the delivery of any such notice,
all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement shall pass to and be vested in the
Successor Servicer acting pursuant to Section 6.2, provided, that notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the Servicer agrees to act as Servicer and to continue to follow
the procedures set forth in this Agreement with respect to Available Amounts on the Loans under
this Agreement until a Successor Servicer has assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the
Servicer in accordance with Section 6.2.

ARTICLE VI




SUCCESSOR SERVICER

circumstances set forth in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 6.1.




     (a) The Servicer may resign from its obligations and duties hereunder if it finds a
replacement servicer satisfying the eligibility criteria set forth in Section 6.2.
No such resignation shall become effective until the replacement servicer shall have
obtained the Issuer’s approval and appointment pursuant to Section 6.2.




     (b) The Servicer may resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it upon
its determination that (i) the performance of its duties hereunder has become impermissible
under applicable law, and (ii) there is no reasonable action which the Servicer could take
to make the performance of its duties hereunder permissible under applicable law. No such
resignation shall become effective until a Successor Servicer shall have assumed the
responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer in accordance with Section 6.2.

Successor Servicer, at a place selected by the Successor Servicer, of all Servicing Records
and other information with respect to the Loans. The Servicer shall account for all funds

party to any such Sub-Servicing Agreement.



     Section 6.4. Effect of Termination or Resignation. Any termination or resignation of
the Servicer under this Agreement shall not affect any claims that the Issuer may have against the
Servicer for events or actions taken or not taken by the Servicer arising prior to any such
termination or resignation.

     Section 8.2. Binding Effect; Assignability. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Issuer and the Servicer and their respective successors and permitted
assigns. Except as set forth in Section 2.1, or Article VI, the Servicer may not
assign, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise convey any of its rights or obligations hereunder or
interests herein without the express prior written consent of the Issuer and unless the Rating
Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with respect to any such assignment. Any such purported
assignment, transfer, hypothecation or other conveyance by the Servicer without the prior express
written consent of the Issuer shall be void. The Issuer may, at any time, assign any of its rights
and obligations under this Agreement to any Person and any such assignee may further assign at any
time its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in each case, without the consent of the
Servicer. Each of the Issuer and the Servicer acknowledges and agrees that, upon any such
assignment, the assignee thereof may enforce directly, all of the obligations of the Issuer or the
Servicer hereunder, as applicable.



     Section 8.3. Termination; Survival of Obligations Upon Class C Maturity Date or
Redemption Date. This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the
parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until the
earlier of the Class C Maturity Date or the Redemption Date; provided, that the rights and
remedies provided for herein with respect to any breach of any representation or warranty made by
the Servicer pursuant to Article III, the indemnification and payment provisions of
Article VII and Sections 8.4 and 8.12 shall be continuing and shall survive
the later of the Class C Maturity Date or the Redemption Date, as applicable.



     Section 8.4. No Proceedings. The Servicer hereby agrees that, from and after the
Closing Date and until the date one year plus one day following the earlier of the Class C Maturity
Date or the Redemption Date, as applicable, it will not, directly or indirectly, institute or cause
to be instituted against the Issuer any proceeding of the type referred to in the definition of
“Bankruptcy Event”; provided that the foregoing shall not in any way limit the Servicer’s
right to pursue any other creditor rights or remedies that the Servicer may have for claims against
the Issuer.



     Section 8.5. Complete Agreement; Modification of Agreement. This Agreement
constitutes the complete agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof, supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter
hereof, and may not be modified, altered or amended except as set forth in Section 8.6.



Servicing Agreement




-12-









 








     Section 8.6. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment, modification, termination or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or any consent to any departure by any party hereto
therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by each
of the parties hereto.



     Section 8.7. No Waiver; Remedies. The failure by the Issuer, at any time or times,
to require strict performance by the Servicer of any provision of this Agreement shall not waive,
affect or diminish any right of the Issuer thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance
herewith. Any suspension or waiver of any breach or default hereunder shall not suspend, waive or
affect any other breach or default whether the same is prior or subsequent thereto and whether the
same or of a different type. None of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants or
representations of the Servicer contained in this Agreement and no breach or default by the
Servicer hereunder, shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by the Issuer unless such
waiver or suspension is by an instrument in writing signed by an officer of or other duly
authorized signatory of the Issuer and directed to the Servicer specifying such suspension or
waiver. The rights and remedies of the Issuer under this Agreement shall be cumulative and
nonexclusive of any other rights and remedies that the Issuer may have under any other agreement,
including the other Related Documents, by operation of law or otherwise.



     Section 8.8. GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF
CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401(1) OF THE GENERAL
OBLIGATIONS LAW, BUT WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY OTHER CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF) AND ANY
APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.




     (a) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS
LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO
HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN THEM PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR TO
ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT; PROVIDED, THAT EACH PARTY
HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT
LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY. EACH PARTY HERETO SUBMITS AND
CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT,
AND EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK
OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND
HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH



Servicing Agreement




-13-









 









LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT. EACH PARTY HERETO
HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY
SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS MAY
BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO SUCH PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS DETERMINED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 8.1 AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE
EARLIER OF SUCH PARTY’S ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE UNITED
STATES MAIL, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY
PARTY HERETO TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.




     (b) BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST
QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH
APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES
DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE,
TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION,
THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING
BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT
OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN
CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.



     Section 8.9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of separate
counterparts, each of which shall collectively and separately constitute one agreement. Executed
counterparts may be delivered electronically.



     Section 8.10. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement
shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any
provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision
shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the
remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.



     Section 8.11. Section Titles. The section titles and table of contents contained in
this Agreement are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and
are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto.



     Section 8.12. Limited Recourse. (a) The obligations of the Issuer under this
Agreement are solely the obligations of the Issuer. No recourse shall be had for any obligation or
claim arising out of or based upon this Agreement against any incorporator, shareholder, officer,



Servicing Agreement

manager, member or director, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor or of
its constituent members or its other Affiliates, either directly or through the Issuer or any
successor, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of
any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by acceptance hereof and as part
of the consideration for the acceptance hereof, expressly waived and released. Any accrued
obligations owing by the Issuer under this Agreement shall be payable by the Issuer solely to the
extent that funds are available therefor from time to time in accordance with the provisions of
Section 2.12 (provided that such accrued obligations shall not be extinguished
until paid in full).





     (b) The obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement are solely the obligations of
the Servicer. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing hereunder or any
other obligation or claim arising out of or based upon this Agreement, against any
shareholder, employee, officer, manager, member or director, agent or organizer, past,
present or future, of the Servicer or of any successor thereto, either directly or through
the Servicer or any successor thereto, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or
rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such
liability being, by acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the acceptance
hereof, expressly waived and released.



     Section 8.13. Further Assurances. The Servicer shall, at its sole cost and expense,
promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all further instruments and documents, and take such
further action, that may be necessary or desirable or that the Issuer may request to enable the
Issuer to exercise and enforce its rights under this Agreement or otherwise carry out more
effectively the provisions and purposes of this Agreement.



     Section 8.14. Pledge of Assets. The Servicer hereby acknowledges that the Issuer has
granted a security interest in the Collateral to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture, and
hereby waives any defenses it may have against the Indenture Trustee for the enforcement of this
Agreement in the event of foreclosure by the Indenture Trustee against the Collateral.
Accordingly, the parties hereto agree that, in the event of foreclosure by the Indenture Trustee
against the Collateral, the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to enforce this Agreement and
the full performance by the parties hereto of their obligations and undertakings set forth herein.
The Servicer hereby agrees to deliver to the Indenture Trustee a copy of all notices to be
delivered by the Servicer to the Issuer hereunder.



     Section 8.15. Waiver of Setoff. The Servicer hereby waives any right of setoff that
it may have for amounts owing to it under or in connection with this Agreement.
