      have occurred and be continuing as of the date hereof nor shall any unwaived
      Facility Termination Event or Event of Default (nor any event that but for
      notice or lapse of time or both would constitute an unwaived Facility
      Termination Event or Event of Default) occur due to this Amendment becoming
      effective, (b) Borrower, LEAF and Servicer each has the power and authority
      to

      governmental or public body or authority is required to authorize, or is
      otherwise required in connection with the execution and performance of this
      Amendment, other than such that have been obtained, (d) the Loan Agreement,
      as
      amended by this Amendment, constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation
      of Servicer, LEAF and the Borrower, enforceable against them in accordance
      with
      its terms except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy,
      insolvency, moratorium, reorganization and other similar laws of general
      application affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of
      equity (whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity
      or
      law), and (e) the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment will
      not
      violate any provision of any existing law or regulation or any order or decree
