      During the Term, Gene Logic shall be entitled to purchase Probe Arrays to
      provide Services pursuant to the Agreement for Gene Logic’s [REDACTED] customers
      pursuant to the [REDACTED] price sheet attached hereto as Exhibit
      2;
      for each
      of Gene Logic’s [REDACTED] customers [REDACTED] pursuant to the [REDACTED] price
      sheet attached hereto as Exhibit
      3;
      and for
      Gene Logic’s other [REDACTED] customers (for which Gene Logic is not authorized
      to use the [REDACTED] price sheet) pursuant to the [REDACTED] price sheet
      attached hereto as Exhibit
      4,
      as such
      price sheets for each Tier are updated by Affymetrix from time to time to
      include new Probe Arrays that Affymetrix begins to generally offer for
      commercial sale during the Term. Gene Logic may provide Services hereunder
      to
      its customers located in all countries.

     

    b) 
      Gene Logic may use Probe Arrays purchased at a certain Tier price to provide
      Services to a customer falling into a different pricing Tier or use such Probe
      Arrays for Internal R&D, provided that if the Probe Arrays are used for a
      higher priced Tier (e.g.,
      [REDACTED]
      Probe
      Arrays used for providing Services to an [REDACTED]
      customer)
      (i) Gene
      Logic identifies such alternate use in the quarterly reports made to Affymetrix
      pursuant to Section 7, and (ii) pays to Affymetrix with such quarterly report
      the difference between the Tier for which such Probe Arrays were purchased
      and
      the price applicable to the reported Tier in which the Probe Arrays were
      actually used. If any Probe Arrays are purchased at a Tier price which is higher
      than the Tier for which the Probe Arrays are actually used, Gene Logic will
      not
      be entitled to any reduction or credit based on such use in a lower priced
      Tier.

     

    3. Services
      for Customers with Affymetrix Pricing Agreement in Effect. 

     

    a)
      During
      the Term, Gene Logic may provide Services to Affymetrix customers and such
      customers may purchase GeneChip Products directly from Affymetrix, have such
      GeneChip Products shipped directly to Gene Logic only for use in Services for
      such Affymetrix customer, and Affymetrix will directly invoice its customer
      for
      such GeneChip Products. Alternatively, customers may ship GeneChip Products
      previously purchased from Affymetrix directly from the customer to Gene Logic
      only for use in Services for such Affymetrix customer, provided that any
      GeneChip Products obtained by Gene Logic from other Affymetrix customers will
      be
      governed by the terms applicable to the customer from which such
      GeneChip Products were obtained. Affymetrix will release its transfer
      restrictions for such third parties to permit such delivery of GeneChip Products
      to Gene Logic for use in the performance of such Services by Gene Logic for
      such
      third parties and will confirm such release to any third parties requesting
      such
      confirmation.

     

    b)
      During
      the Term, Affymetrix may at its discretion extend to Gene Logic, on a
      project-by-project basis, GeneChip Product pricing [REDACTED]. Gene Logic agrees
      to protect such information pursuant to Section 17 (Confidentiality) of the
      Terms and Conditions (as defined below). For clarity, and without limiting
      the
      foregoing, Gene Logic agrees not to disclose any aspect of [REDACTED] prices
      for
      GeneChip Products with any other Affymetrix customer or any other party, except
      as required by law (provided that Gene Logic has provided Affymetrix with prior
      notice of such disclosure, to the extent reasonably practicable).

     

    4.
      Reduced
      Probe Array Pricing for Internal R&D and Pricing for other GeneChip
      Products, Instruments and Software. 

     

    a)
      During
      the Term, Gene Logic shall be entitled to purchase GeneChip probe arrays for
      its
      own Internal R&D activities (excluding Services), in accordance with the
      terms and conditions of this Agreement, pursuant to the price sheet
      attached hereto as Exhibit
      5
      (“Internal R&D Pricing”). For clarity, Gene Logic shall not
      use products purchased at Internal R&D Pricing to provide a
      fee-for-service or other non-collaborative sample processing service to one
      or
      more third parties unless it reports such use and pays the additional
      amount required under Section 2(b). In addition, for purposes of the adjustment
      in pricing based on the use as described in Section 2(b), all of Gene Logic’s
      unused inventory of Probe Arrays as of December 31, 2005 shall be deemed to
      have
      been purchased at Internal R&D Pricing, and, if used in 2006 for a use that
      would fall under another pricing Tier, Gene Logic will pay the additional amount
      as determined pursuant to Section 2(b) for such use.

     

    
      
        3

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    b)
      During
      the Term, Gene Logic shall be entitled to purchase reagents and kits,
      for use for all purposes for which it is otherwise permitted to buy and use
      Probe Arrays under this Agreement, pursuant to the Internal R&D
      Pricing as described in Exhibit
      5
      and shall
      not be obligated to pay to Affymetrix any additional price for such products
      for
      use in any other pricing Tier.

     

    5. 2006
      Purchase Commitment; No 2006 Access Fee; Waiver of Database
      Royalties.

     

    a)
      In
      exchange for the reduced Probe Array pricing set forth above and other benefits
      provided to Gene Logic hereunder, Gene Logic agrees to spend at least Seven
      Million Six Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand U.S. Dollars ($7,625,000.00) with
      Affymetrix during 2006 toward the purchase from Affymetrix of Affymetrix
      products, including GeneChip Products and Instruments, the HTA Products and
      HTA
      Instruments, Software and services (including but not limited to
      instrument services, service contracts and software and instrument maintenance
      agreements), and to accept shipment and performance of all such products
      and services during calendar year 2006 (the “Purchase Commitment”). If Gene
      Logic orders commercially launched GeneChip Products, HTA Products or other
      Affymetrix products in 2006 on or before December 15, 2006 for current
      delivery or orders services from Affymetrix for current performance before
      December 15, 2006 and Affymetrix is unable to ship such products or perform
      such services in 2006, then such products and services shall be
      deemed to have been purchased in 2006 even though such products are
      actually not shipped or services performed in 2006, and the price therefor
      shall
      be counted in determining if and the extent to which Gene Logic met its Purchase
      Commitment for 2006, provided that Gene Logic has (i) acted in good faith,
      communicated timely and reasonably accurate forecasts, based on orders
      it has received from its customers, on a consistent basis during 2006 and
      otherwise worked with Affymetrix to assist Affymetrix in Affymetrix’ planning
      and resource allocation for the production and delivery of the products and
      services ordered, (ii) used commercially reasonable efforts to avoid
      large spikes in purchase volumes near the end of the year, and (iii) used
      commercially reasonable efforts not to expect shipment of products or
      performance of services in 2006 that, based on Affymetrix statements known
      to
      Gene Logic or statements that Gene Logic can reasonably be expected to know
      based on Affymetrix’ public statements, it knows or has reason to know
      Affymetrix will not be able to ship or perform in 2006. For new or
      renewed annual or other periodic service and maintenance contracts covering
      2006
      or a portion thereof, if the fees for such contract are paid in 2006, then
      such
      payment will count toward meeting the Purchase Commitment (it being understood
      that any prepayment for service or maintenance contracts that do not cover
      at
      least a portion of 2006 shall not count toward the Purchase
      Commitment). 

     

    b)
      Gene
      Logic shall not be required to pay any annual access/subscription fee to
      Affymetrix under this Agreement. Within five (5) business days after November
      30, 2006, Affymetrix shall provide to Gene Logic a summary of the amounts spent
      through November 30, 2006 that qualify toward meeting the Purchase Commitment
      and, if there is any difference in opinion as to such amount, the Parties shall
      work together to promptly reconcile such difference.  If Gene Logic fails
      to meet the Purchase Commitment for 2006 during 2006, Affymetrix shall notify
      Gene Logic in writing within ten (10) business days after the end of 2006 of
      the
      amount by which Gene Logic failed to meet its Purchase Commitment and, as
      Affymetrix’ sole and exclusive remedy, Gene Logic shall then pay to Affymetrix
      within thirty (30) days after its receipt of notice from Affymetrix the
      difference between the Purchase Commitment and the amount actually purchased
      in
      2006 and, when such payment is made, Gene Logic shall be deemed to have met
      its
      Purchase Commitment.

     

    
      
        4

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    c)
      Gene
      Logic shall not be required to pay any royalties to Affymetrix under this
      Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Gene Logic shall remain obligated
      to
      promptly pay to Affymetrix Royalties that otherwise would become due on database
      licenses and payable under the 2002 Agreement, pursuant to Section 5.4 of such
      agreement, for “Net Sales” on “Databases” (as defined in such agreement)
      accruing on or before 12/31/2005. However, the Parties have hereby agreed that
      no Royalty shall be payable to Affymetrix for licenses issued during [REDACTED]
      for Gene Logic’s [REDACTED] System. Provided that Gene Logic achieves the
      Purchase Commitment or pays to Affymetrix the difference between the Purchase
      Commitment and the amount actually purchased in 2006, pursuant to Section 5(b)
      above, Gene Logic shall not be required to pay to Affymetrix Royalties that
      otherwise would become due on database licenses and payable under the 2002
      Agreement for Net Sales on Databases accruing after 12/31/2005.  For
      clarity, this paragraph shall not be construed as conveying, by implication,
      estoppel or otherwise, or expanding to the scope of, any right or license to
      Gene Logic under any patent right of Affymetrix.

     

    d) 
      The Purchase Commitment has been made in part because the Parties have hereby
      agreed that (i) Gene Logic may use the HTA Products to perform an upgrade of
      its
      ToxExpress® Database licensed to its customers, subject to Section 5(e) and (f)
      below, and that the data therein may be used in other systems licensed or
      otherwise provided by Gene Logic to customers where such systems are dependent
      on that ToxExpress Database and to provide Services, and (ii) Affymetrix will
      cooperate with Gene Logic to use commercially reasonable efforts to make
      available on a timely basis the HTA Products needed to perform and complete
      such
      upgrade in an orderly process during calendar year 2006.

     

    e) 
      To assist Gene Logic in attempting to meet the upgrade schedule described in
      Section 5(d) above, Affymetrix agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts
      to
      provide to Gene Logic the following, based on purchase orders from Gene Logic
      (Gene Logic acknowledges that the Rat Plates are not commercially launched
      as of
      the Effective Date and, due to inherent risks in technology
      development, that Affymetrix may not meet such schedule or the dates set forth
      in Sections 5(e)(i)-(iii) below): 

     

      
        i)  on or before [REDACTED], reasonably sufficient quantities (at
      least [REDACTED] 24-well and [REDACTED] 96-well Rat Plates) of commercial
      version HTA Plates featuring [REDACTED] the GeneChip Rat Genome 230 2.0
      Cartridge Arrays (“Rat Plates”) to allow Gene Logic to determine in its opinion
      that the [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] of the Rat Plates are [REDACTED] to those
      of
      the GeneChip Rat Genome 230 2.0 Cartridge Arrays (the “Rat Cartridge Arrays”),
      and to establish protocols for the use of the HTA Products for the upgrade,
      on
      or before [REDACTED];

     

        
      ii)  [REDACTED] GeneChipHT Array Scanner and [REDACTED] GeneChip Array
      Station robotics/liquid handling (hybridization/wash/stain) instrumentation
      (in
      addition to the [REDACTED] unit of each already provided under the HTA
      Agreement), which HTA Instruments shall be the model commercially released
      and
      currently being sold by Affymetrix (including the principal components listed
      on
Exhibit
      8
      hereto)
      to be delivered to Gene Logic and installed and validated by Affymetrix in
      accordance with Affymetrix’ standard Site Acceptance Test procedures and the
      Instrumentation specifications set forth in Section M of the HTA Agreement,
      and
      accepted by Gene Logic, on or before [REDACTED], at the [REDACTED] price
      [REDACTED];

     

    
      
        5

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    iii)
      provide basic user training with Affymetrix provided kits and arrays at Gene
      Logic’s Gaithersburg, MD lab (one customer training session, typically 3-5 days
      in length) included at no additional charge as part of the purchase of the
      GeneChip Array Station and GeneChipHT Array Scanner, with the agreed-upon goal
      of completing such training by [REDACTED]; and

     

    iv)
      beginning in the [REDACTED] and continuing in the [REDACTED] (if Gene Logic
      determines, in its opinion, that the [REDACTED] of the Rat Plates are [REDACTED]
      those of the Rat Cartridge Arrays as further described in Section 5(f) below),
      reasonably sufficient quantities of commercial version Rat Plates that possess
      the same [REDACTED] and meet the same [REDACTED] as the Rat Plates that were
      used and approved by Gene Logic during the evaluation phase, it being understood
      by the Parties that Gene Logic will then use commercially reasonable efforts
      to
      complete the majority of the ToxExpress upgrade during the third and fourth
      quarters of 2006.

     

    During
      [REDACTED], Affymetrix agrees to provide the Rat Plates and HTA reagents to
      Gene
      Logic for this verification and upgrade at a price of [REDACTED] per array
      for
      the Rat Plates and [REDACTED] per well for the HTA reagent kits.

     

    f) 
      During the verification phase, Gene Logic shall determine that, in its opinion,
      the [REDACTED], and the [REDACTED], of the Rat [REDACTED] Plates are
      [REDACTED] those of the Rat Cartridge Arrays. If Affymetrix does not meet the
      deadlines set forth in Sections 5(e)(i)-(iii) above, or if on or before March
      31, 2006, Gene Logic determines in its opinion that (i) such Rat Plates do
      not
      have such [REDACTED], or (ii) there is a substantial risk that Affymetrix will
      be unable, within the time frames specified by Gene Logic, to provide on a
      timely basis commercial version Rat Plates with such [REDACTED] in sufficient
      quantity, then Gene Logic shall so notify Affymetrix in writing and, in any
      such
      event, as Gene Logic’s sole and exclusive remedy, (1) the Purchase Commitment
      shall be reduced to Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($7,500,000),
      (2) Gene Logic shall then have the option to suspend or discontinue the
      ToxExpress upgrade, or to perform and complete the upgrade during calendar
      year
      2006 using Rat Cartridge Arrays and related labeling reagents, (3) during
      [REDACTED], Affymetrix shall provide the Rat Cartridge Arrays for use in the
      ToxExpress upgrade at a price of [REDACTED] per Rat Cartridge Array and
      [REDACTED] per sample for the reagent kits for use with the Rat Cartridge Arrays
      for the ToxExpress upgrade, and (4) during [REDACTED], Affymetrix shall use
      commercially reasonable efforts to provide such Rat Cartridge Arrays and reagent
      kits in sufficient quantity and in a timely manner to assist Gene Logic in
      completing the upgrade in accordance with the schedule described in Section
      5(d)
      above.

     

    6. Joint
      Responses to RFxs. 

     

    From
      time
      to time during the Term, either Party may at its discretion submit detailed
      proposals to the other for the Parties to collaborate on specific projects
      for
      third parties, and the Parties may submit joint responses to third party
      requests for information/proposal/quote (RFx). Such proposals, each Party's
      response thereto, and ensuing discussions between the Parties with respect
      thereto shall be subject to Section 17 (Confidentiality) of the Terms and
      Conditions (as defined below).

    Gene
      Logic
      shall deliver to Affymetrix within sixty (60) days after the end of each
      calendar quarter a written report showing: (i) the country location
      and type (as defined in Section 2 above) of each service customer that
      received services during that quarter; (ii) the number of Probe Arrays used
      in
      providing Services to each such customer during that quarter, (iii) the
      number of Probe Arrays used in conducting Internal R&D during that quarter,
      and (iv) the number of Probe Arrays that were purchased at one pricing Tier
      and
      used for another purpose pursuant to Section 2(b).  For avoidance of doubt,
      Gene Logic shall not be obligated to identify any customer names or provide
      any
      other information identifying specific customers in the reports due to
      Affymetrix hereunder.

     

    8. Service
      Quality; Audits.

     

    a)
      The
      Parties acknowledge that it is in their mutual interest to ensure that Services
      provided by Gene Logic that include the use of GeneChip Products are of a high
      and reliable quality. Therefore, each Party agrees to use commercially
      reasonable efforts to maintain a high level of quality of the GeneChip Products
      and the Services provided to customers using GeneChip Products. If Affymetrix
      learns of any problem with a customer involving Gene Logic Services, or if
      Gene
      Logic learns of any problem with a customer potentially caused by defective
      GeneChip Products, the Parties agree to cooperate to resolve any such issue
      in a
      prompt, commercially reasonable manner.

     

    (b)
      During
      the Term and for a period of two (2) years following the time at which the
      relevant payment is due, Affymetrix shall have the right, upon commercially
      reasonable notice, but not to exceed once per calendar year, during regular
      business hours and upon ten (10) days prior notice, to have an auditing firm
      acceptable to all Parties make such examination as such firm deems necessary
      to
      verify that Gene Logic has been paying the proper price for Probe Arrays based
      on the type of use of such Probe Arrays specified in Sections 2-4 herein. In
      the
      event that such examination reveals a discrepancy between the amounts
      payable under this Agreement and the amounts actually paid, all such
      additional amounts, together with interest at the rate of one and one-half
      percent (1.5%) per month, or the maximum allowed by law, whichever is less,
      from
      the date when such additional amounts would have been due, shall be paid to
      Affymetrix within forty-five (45) days of written notice from the auditing
      firm
      of such discrepancy. Any such audit shall be at Affymetrix’ sole expense and
      performed by a nationally recognized accounting firm. In the event that a
      deficiency of more than five percent (5%) is discovered, the audit shall be
      at
      Gene Logic’s expense. The auditing firm conducting the examination shall be
      under appropriate obligations of confidentiality to all Parties hereto such
      that
      (1) if no discrepancy is found between amounts payable and actually paid for
      a
      given contract year, the auditing firm shall report that and nothing else to
      the
      Parties, (2) if a discrepancy in favor of Affymetrix is found between amounts
      payable and actually paid, the auditing firm shall report the amount of the
      discrepancy and only those particulars necessary for the understanding of the
      Parties of the nature of the overpayment, (3) if a discrepancy in favor of
      Gene Logic is found between amounts payable and actually paid, the auditing
      firm
      shall report the amount of the discrepancy and only those particulars necessary
      for the understanding of the Parties of the nature of the overpayment, and
      Affymetrix shall reimburse Gene Logic within forty five (45) days of the date
      it
      is notified of the discrepancy, (4) any given contract year may only be audited
      once, (5) in no event shall the auditing firm reveal to any Party hereto any
      information it may gain during the course of the examination (i.e., to
      Affymetrix the names of customers for whom Services were provided by Gene Logic)
      other than as previously stated herein, and (6) in no event shall the auditing
      firm reveal to any third party any information it may gain during the
      course of the examination. The Parties agree that the auditing firm chosen
      to
      perform audits pursuant to this Section will not be compensated on a
      commission-for-findings basis.

    9. Use
      of
      Product and Service Descriptions and Marks.

     

    a) 
      Each Party recognizes that the other Party hereto has developed valuable Marks,
      as listed on Exhibit
      6
      hereto,
      and may in the future develop additional Marks. Each Party may desire to
      describe the other Party as a customer (in the case of Gene Logic) or a
      supplier (in the case of Affymetrix) in public marketing materials and technical
      materials published by such Party for marketing purposes and to use the other
      Party’s marks in such materials. Each Party may make such a general description
      of the Parties’ relationship and use the other Party’s Marks to assist with such
      description (i.e., to refer to or generally describe such Party’s products or
      services) without the prior approval of the other Party, provided that the
      description is not inconsistent with information on the other Party’s website or
      current published materials and, provided further, that the use of the other
      Party’s Mark is limited to text and is not the logo or stylized Mark
      itself.  Each Party shall allow the other Party reasonable prior review and
      approval of any more detailed description of the other Party’s products or
      services, and any use of the other Party’s logos or stylized Marks, in any of
      its proposed marketing materials, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld
      or delayed.  Gene Logic will also include on its website a link to the
      Affymetrix website along with a brief description of the relationship between
      Affymetrix and Gene Logic that has been approved in advance by Affymetrix,
      such
      approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

     

    b) 
      Each Party acknowledges the ownership and renown of all Marks used by the other
      Party prior to this Agreement that are listed on Exhibit
      6.
      Each
      Party will maintain a quality standard in connection with its products and
      services promoted in a manner that uses the other Party’s Marks or refers to the
      other Party’s products and/or services, that is at least as high as the standard
      such Party maintains for any of its other comparable products or services.
      Subject in all cases to the terms of Section 9(a) and this Section 9(b), each
      Party hereby authorizes the other Party to use its name and Marks for the
      specific purpose of identifying and/or promoting the other Party’s products and
      services and identifying the manner in which such Party is involved in the
      other
      Party’s products or services, and for no other purpose. If, in each Party’s sole
      discretion, the other Party’s use of the first Party’s Marks in marketing
      materials does not meet the first Party’s trademark usage policy, the first
      Party may notify the other Party of the specific objection to the use of a
      specific Mark or Marks and, if the other Party is unable to correct its usage
      to
      the reasonable satisfaction of the party owning the Marks within sixty (60)
      days
      after receipt of such notice, such Party at its option, may terminate the right
      of the other Party to use such specific Mark or Marks.

     

    10. Terms
      and Conditions.

     

    The
      GeneChip Products, HTA Products, Software and Instruments provided to Gene
      Logic under this Agreement shall be subject to the terms and conditions
      (including all Addenda) attached hereto as Exhibit
      1
      (“Terms
      and Conditions”). 

     

    11. Term
      and Termination.

     

    This
      Agreement will become effective on and as of 01/01/2006
      (“Effective Date”) and will continue in effect through 12/31/2006 (the
      “Term”). If the Parties enter negotiations for an extension, renewal or
      follow-on agreement for this Agreement to become effective upon expiration
      of
      the Term, the Parties agree that Affymetrix shall provide Gene Logic with a
      draft of a renewal or extension amendment or follow-on agreement for review
      and
      comment at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Term.  If
      either Party should fail to perform any obligations under this Agreement, the
      other Party may give written notice to the defaulting Party calling attention
      to
      the default. In the event of a material breach or default, said other Party
      shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days prior
      written notice to said defaulting Party calling attention to the default unless
      said breach or default is corrected within sixty (60) days after such notice.
      Such notice shall specifically state that the non-breaching Party intends to
      terminate this Agreement. Said right to terminate for default shall be in
      addition to, and without prejudice to the exercise of, any other remedies
      available in law or equity.

      Products, Instruments and Software previously purchased by Gene Logic and its
      Affiliates and subject to the warranty and replacement provisions applicable
      to
      this Agreement.

    Exhibit
      1

     

    Terms
      and Conditions (Direct and Representative Sales)

     

    1. General

     

    These
      Affymetrix, Inc. ("AFX") Terms and Conditions, all Addenda hereto (if any)
      mutually agreed to by the Parties, the accompanying Service Provider Agreement
      (the “Service Provider Agreement”) and any terms or conditions issued by
      AFX on behalf of a third party original equipment manufacturer of a Product
      (as
      defined below) or component thereof with regard to such Product/component
      agreed to by Buyer (collectively, the “Agreement”) shall exclusively govern AFX'
      sale and license of GeneChip Products, Instruments, Software and services
      (collectively, “Products” or “AFX Products”) to the purchaser (“Buyer”) all as
      described in the Service Provider Agreement. If Buyer’s order of Products
      pursuant to the Agreement is deemed an offer, AFX’ acceptance is expressly
      conditional on Buyer’s acceptance of the terms of this Agreement; if the terms
      of this Agreement are deemed an offer by AFX, Buyer’s acceptance is expressly
      limited to these terms. Any additional or different terms or conditions
      (preprinted or otherwise) proposed by Buyer shall not become part of this
      Agreement unless AFX specifically agrees to such terms in a writing that
      specifically identifies such additional or different terms. If a purchase order
      or other form containing terms and conditions is used by Buyer to order Products
      from AFX, AFX objects to any proposed additions or changes hereto not
      specifically agreed to in writing by AFX. The mere acceptance and fulfillment
      of
      an order submitted by purchase order from Buyer shall not be deemed to be
      acceptance by AFX or any conflicting, additional or different terms in such
      purchase order. AFX may not substitute or modify Products unless Buyer has
      so
      specifically agreed and the Products comply with applicable AFX specifications.
      Unless expressly stated otherwise in the Service Provider Agreement, all listed
      prices and specifications are subject to change without notice, provided that
      the prices listed in Exhibits
      2-5
      will not
      be increased during the Term of the Service Provider Agreement. If not defined
      in these Terms and Conditions, any capitalized terms used herein shall have
      the
      meaning defined in the Service Provider Agreement.

     

    2. Price

     

    Unless expressly
      provided otherwise in the Service Provider Agreement or unless AFX in any
      particular circumstance agrees to any lower price for any particular product,
      the price(s) for the Products during the Term of this Agreement will be those
      listed on the Exhibits to the accompanying Service Provider Agreement.
For
      Deliveries Outside Europe:
      Unless
      expressly stated otherwise in the Service Provider Agreement, prices exclude
      all
      insurance, freight, taxes, fees, duties and levies, which shall be payable
      by
      Buyer.

     

    3. Delivery

     

    a)
      Products will be packed in AFX’ standard shipping packages. AFX or its
      representative may make partial deliveries. AFX will ship new orders of Products
      within [REDACTED]
      days of
      receipt of purchase order for such new orders (excluding Custom Probe Arrays,
      which will be shipped as follows, and replacement Probe Arrays for Discretionary
      Returns will be shipped as set forth in Section 9 below).

     

    b)
      Custom
      Arrays. 
      Upon AFX confirming receipt of complete Buyer Target Sequences and related
      information for each new Custom Probe Array design, AFX will use reasonable
      efforts to design, lay out, produce masks, and manufacture one lot of Custom
      Probe Arrays for each such custom design as follows: (i) within [REDACTED]
      weeks
      if
      Buyer orders only one Custom Probe Array design; (ii) within [REDACTED]
      weeks
      for
      up to [REDACTED]
      custom
      designs; and (iii) for more than [REDACTED]
      custom
      designs, according to the schedule quoted to Buyer and/or its Affiliates at
      the
      time they order such Custom Probe Array designs. Where Buyer and/or its
      Affiliates have ordered more than one custom design, AFX reserves the right
      to
      provide the initial lots of Custom Probe Arrays for each such design at separate
      times, at AFX’ sole discretion, subject to the maximum time periods described in
      the previous sentence; in such case, the order that the initial lots of each
      such design will be provided relative to such other designs and will be
      determined by a priority list submitted by Buyer at the time it orders the
      designs or, if no such list is submitted, in AFX’ discretion. In no event shall
      AFX be obligated to supply more than [REDACTED]
      custom
      designs per year. Delivery times for all additional lots of Custom Probe Arrays
      ordered pursuant to this letter will be quoted at the time AFX receives a firm
      order for such products and shall not exceed [REDACTED]
      weeks
      from
      the date of such order. Buyer acknowledges that implementation of any
      deviations  for a particular custom design may increase the time period
      between order placement and delivery of Custom Probe Arrays based on any such
      design. All such time extensions for a particular custom design will be
      discussed with Buyer prior to start of such design. All Custom Probe Arrays
      must
      be ordered and purchased in whole-lot increments.

     

    c)
      AFX or
      its representative will ship via carrier selected by AFX or its representative
      to Buyer at 50 West Watkins Mill Rd., Gaithersburg, MD 20878, Attn: Receiving,
      or to such other address as may be specified by Buyer. If shipment is delayed
      at
      Buyer’s request, Buyer will reimburse AFX for all reasonable costs of
      storage.

     

    (i)
      For
      Deliveries Outside Europe:
      Tender
      will be FOB
      shipping point.
      Title
      (except for software in which case AFX shall retain title) and risk of loss
      or
      damage will pass to Buyer upon delivery of the Products to
the
      carrier.

     

    (ii)
      For Deliveries Within Europe:
      Products
      shall be Delivered Duty Paid to the Buyer’s site and the Buyer will be the
      importer for the Products and be responsible for paying the import VAT or
      similar tax(es) within the Buyer’s country. Title (except for intellectual
      property right in the software in which case AFX shall retain title) and risk
      of
      loss will pass to Buyer upon delivery of the Products to AFX
      carrier.

    d)
      Buyer
      and/or its Affiliates will advise AFX if freight insurance is desired on any
      shipments of Products, and will reimburse AFX for all such authorized insurance
      charges.

     

    4. Acceptance

     

    Buyer
      shall notify AFX or its representative in writing within 20
      days of
      receipt of shipment of Products of any visible exterior shipment damage,
      describing the damage in detail; otherwise all claims for exterior visible
      damage in shipment shall be waived, but this does not affect the warranty or
      remedy for defective Products set forth below.

     

    5. Payment

     

    Buyer
      will
      be invoiced at the time of shipment of each Product. Except as otherwise agreed
      in writing by AFX, payment shall be made in full within 30 days
      of the date of the invoice. Payments for Products are not subject to Buyer’s
      inspection or acceptance of the Products. Undisputed late payments may incur
      a
      charge at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) percent per month, or
      the
      maximum allowed by law, whichever is less. Further shipment of Products may
      be
      deferred until payment is received if Buyer fails to make any undisputed payment
      when due and thereafter fails to cure such non-payment within ten (10) business
      days after receipt of notice thereof. If Buyer’s account is more than thirty
      (30) days past due and is referred to an attorney or collection agency for
      collection, Buyer shall pay AFX’ reasonable expenses incurred in such collection
      efforts including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable legal fees
      and
      expenses.

     

    6. Unforeseen
      Events

     

    AFX
      shall
      not be liable for delay or failure in performance of any obligations hereunder
      if performance is rendered impracticable by the occurrence of any condition
      beyond the reasonable control of AFX. In the event of any such delay or failure
      in performance, AFX shall promptly notify Buyer of such delay or non-performance
      and the cause thereof and then shall have such additional time within which
      to
      perform its obligations hereunder as may reasonably be necessary under the
      circumstances, provided AFX shall use commercially reasonable efforts to limit
      the delay or overcome the cause of the non-performance and AFX shall have the
      right, to the extent necessary in AFX’ sole reasonable judgment, to apportion
      fairly among its various customers in such manner as AFX may consider equitable
      the Products then available for delivery.

     

    If
      such
      delay or non-performance will continue for more than one month, AFX shall
      provide monthly updates as to the status of resolving the delay or
      non-performance.

      HEREUNDER. EXCEPT FOR CERTAIN PROBE ARRAYS AND REAGENTS DESIGNATED AS “ANALYTE
      SPECIFIC REAGENTS” (SEE APPLICABLE PACKAGE INSERT) WHICH ARE LICENSED FOR USE AS
      ANALYTE SPECIFIC REAGENTS OR RESEARCH USE, ALL PRODUCTS (INCLUDING THE PROBE
      ARRAYS, INSTRUMENTS, SOFTWARE, AND REAGENTS) DELIVERED HEREUNDER ARE LICENSED
      TO
      BUYER FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY (I.E. INCLUDING USE FOR SERVICES AND INTERNAL
      R&D AS DEFINED IN THE SERVICE PROVIDER AGREEMENT, NOT FOR DIAGNOSTIC,
      PROGNOSTIC OR THERAPEUTIC USE FOR INDIVIUDAL PATIENTS). THIS LIMITED LICENSE
      GRANTS BUYER THE RIGHT TO USE THE PARTICULAR PRODUCT(S), IN ACCORDANCE WITH
      THE
      WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED THEREWITH, THAT BUYER PURCHASES FROM AFX OR ITS
      AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE PROVISION OF SERVICES AND INTERNAL R&D AS
      SPECIFIED IN THE SERVICE PROVIDER AGREEMENT. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED
      HEREIN, THE PURCHASE OF ANY PRODUCT(S) DOES NOT BY ITSELF CONVEY OR IMPLY THE
      RIGHT TO USE SUCH PRODUCT(S) IN COMBINATION WITH ANY OTHER PRODUCT(S). IN
      PARTICULAR, NO RIGHT TO MAKE, HAVE MADE OR DISTRIBUTE OTHER PROBE ARRAYS IS
      CONVEYED OR IMPLIED BY THE SALE HEREUNDER OF PROBE ARRAYS, REAGENTS, INSTRUMENTS
      OR SOFTWARE. FURTHERMORE, PROBE ARRAYS DELIVERED HEREUNDER ARE LICENSED FOR
      ONE
      (1) TIME USE ONLY AND MAY NOT BE REUSED.  The Products do not have the
      approval of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), the Japanese Minister
      of Health, Labor and Welfare (“MHLW”) or other regulatory approval. No license
      is conveyed or implied for Buyer to use, and Buyer agrees not to use, the
      Products in any manner requiring FDA, MHLW or similar regulatory approval or
      use
      the Products in any manner not expressly authorized in writing by AFX in advance
      of such use. Buyer agrees not to use the Products delivered hereunder in any
      clinical or other setting requiring FDA or other regulatory review or approval
      except that Buyer may use the Products in clinical trials when it obtains all
      required FDA or other regulatory approvals required for use in such trials.
      Buyer will indemnify AFX for any claims made by or on the part of (e.g., by
      the patient's relatives or an insurer) a patient arising from the use of
      the Products in such clinical trials.

     

    Notwithstanding
      any other provision hereof, nothing herein is intended as a contractual
      obligation precluding Buyer from using non-AFX products, such as [REDACTED],
      with the
      Products supplied to Buyer pursuant to the Agreement; provided however, that
      AFX
      makes no representations or warranties regarding any suitability of non-AFX
      products for use with such Products, or vice versa, and AFX hereby
      disclaims such representations and warranties. Buyer uses such non-AFX products
      entirely at Buyer’s own risk and AFX shall have no liability to Buyer or any
      third party in respect of such use. AFX shall not provide any support to Buyer
      in respect of such use of non-AFX products. Furthermore, notwithstanding any
      other provision hereof, nothing herein is intended as a contractual
      obligation precluding Buyer from using Products, including AFX-offered
[REDACTED],
      with
      other products from third parties.  Buyer agrees to indemnify the AFX Group
      (as defined below) for any claims made by or on the part of a third party
      arising from Buyer’s use of non-AFX products in connection with Products. 
However, this paragraph shall not be construed as conveying, by
      implication, estoppel or otherwise, or expanding to the scope of, any right
      or
      license to Buyer under any patent right of AFX.

    8. Limited
      Software License

     

    Subject
      to
      the terms of this Agreement, and any license included or provided with a
      particular software Product (which shall govern with respect to such software
      Product in the event of conflict) AFX grants to Buyer a non-exclusive,
      non-transferable (except to Affiliates and as permitted in Section 19),
      non-sublicensable (except to Affiliates) license to use the software Product(s)
      delivered to Buyer, on the instrument(s) provided or specified by AFX for use
      with such software Product(s), in accordance with end user documentation
      provided by AFX with such Product(s). Buyer may make one (1) copy of software
      Products for backup purposes only. Buyer agrees not to disassemble, decompile
      or
      otherwise reverse engineer, or adapt or modify, any software
      Product.

     

    U.S.
      Government users:
      The use,
      duplication, reproduction, release, modification, disclosure or transfer of
      software Products, or any related documentation of any kind, including technical
      data or manuals, is restricted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation
      12.212 for civilian agencies and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation
      Supplement 227.7202 for military agencies. The software Products are commercial
      computer software and the related documentation is commercial computer software
      documentation. The use of software Products and related documentation is further
      restricted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any software
      license included or provided with a particular software Product or related
      documentation.

     

    To
      the
      extent that AFX owns or otherwise controls, with the right to sublicense without
      any obligation or accounting to any un-Affiliated third party, as of the
      Effective Date or during the Term, patent rights (“Database Patent Rights”) that
      are necessarily infringed by the operation, storage, querying (solely for
      software provided by Buyer in conjunction with Databases) development or
      commercialization of Databases developed by Buyer (the “Database Field”),
      AFX hereby grants to Buyer during [REDACTED]
      an
      option
      to negotiate with AFX for a [REDACTED]
      license,
      without the right to sublicense, under any such patent rights to [REDACTED]
      solely
      for
      the purpose of carrying out those activities expressly contemplated by this
      Agreement within the Database Field. In the event that Buyer exercises such
      option, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith commercially reasonable terms
      and conditions for such license, provided that AFX agrees to waive any license
      fee or other payment with regard to any such license for [REDACTED],
      without
      prejudice to any fees, royalties and other payments with regard to such license
      for periods beginning after [REDACTED].
      Such
      option shall expire on [REDACTED].
      Any such
      license shall be subject to the execution by authorized representatives of
      the
      Parties of a separate (from this Agreement), mutually acceptable and definitive
      written agreement regarding such subject matter. For purposes of clarification,
      this option for Buyer to take a limited license is only intended to give Buyer
      (and the licensees of such software and databases) the opportunity to achieve
      freedom to operate under AFX’ patent rights described above with regard to
      software and databases created and licensed by Buyer for use in analyzing,
      querying and storing data generated from Probe Arrays supplied hereunder and
      for
      use in providing Services as defined in the Service Provider Agreement, and
      shall not be interpreted as a license to any specific gene or protein content
      or
      application, nor shall it be interpreted to mean that AFX shall provide any
      information, data, know-how, trade secrets, materials or assistance to Buyer
      for
      use in developing or commercializing databases or software or providing
      Services. For further clarification, Buyer’s Database licensees would only
      be licensed under this option to the extent such licensees use
      such Databases with data generated using AFX GeneChip arrays and provided
      to such licensees in connection with the license of such Databases.

     

    9. Limited
      Warranty

     

    Unless
      otherwise expressly stated in the Service Provider Agreement, AFX warrants
      to
      and only to Buyer for thirteen (13) months from the date of shipping or one
      (1)
      year from the date of installation (or for the period specified in the Sales
      Quote for limited-life parts), whichever occurs first, that the Software
      and Instruments are free from defects in material and workmanship, and conform
      to AFX’ published specifications in all material respects. Service will be
      provided to Buyer by or for AFX in a competent, professional and timely manner
      pursuant to AFX’ standard service terms and conditions. AFX’ sole and exclusive
      liability (and Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy) under the foregoing warranty
      shall be to repair or replace Software and Instruments or provide Buyer a
      refund, as solely determined by AFX after discussion with Buyer. Nonconforming
      instruments will be serviced at Buyer’s facility or, at AFX’ option, at AFX’
facility. If service is performed at AFX’ facility, AFX will bear shipping
      costs. This warranty does not apply to consumables, or to any defect caused
      by
      failure to provide a suitable storage, use, or operating environment, use of
      non-recommended reagents, spills, or the use of the Products for a purpose
      or in
      a manner other than that for which they were designed, modifications or repairs
      done by Buyer, or any other abuse, misuse, or neglect of the Products. This
      warranty applies only to Buyer, and not third parties. The foregoing is not
      intended to limit any warranty extended to Buyer by a third party original
      equipment manufacturer of a Product or component thereof, provided that any
      remedy received by Buyer under any such warranty shall relieve AFX of its
      obligations with respect to the subject of such remedy. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED
      BY APPLICABLE LAW, AFX, ITS SUPPLIERS AND ITS REPRESENTATIVE DISCLAIM ALL OTHER
      REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO PRODUCTS
      AND
      SERVICES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
      MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR FITNESS FOR A
      PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

     

    Notwithstanding
      the above, with respect to Probe Arrays, during the Term of the Agreement,
      AFX
      agrees to replace free of charge with an array of the same type and without
      further investigation (or at AFX discretion, issue a credit for the price paid
      for such array) any Probe Array that is scanned by Buyer prior to the expiration
      date on such Probe Array and that Buyer determines in its sole discretion to
      have a physical defect that is the cause of impaired hybridization of probe
      pairs leading to aberrant probe set data for a number of features resulting
      from
      (i) the manufacture, handling or processing of such Probe Array by AFX prior
      to
      shipment, or (ii) Instrument (as defined in the Service Provider Agreement)
      error during the processing of such Probe Array by Buyer (collectively
“Discretionary Return(s)”), provided that (a) within any calendar quarter such
      Discretionary Returns shall not exceed [REDACTED]
      percent
      ([REDACTED]
      %)[redact?]
      of
      the
      number of Probe Arrays scanned by Buyer during such quarterly period; and (b)
      Buyer reports such Discretionary Returns and number of Probe Arrays scanned
      by
      Buyer during such quarterly period within sixty (60) days after the end of
      each
      calendar quarter during the term of the Agreement. AFX agrees to ship
      replacement arrays for such Discretionary Returns within thirty (30) days of
      receipt of reporting by Buyer.

     

    In
      the
      event that Buyer requests replacement for Probe Arrays in excess of [REDACTED]
      percent
      ([REDACTED]%)
      of the
      Probe Arrays scanned by Buyer during any one quarterly period, then such Probe
      Array replacements in excess of [REDACTED]
      percent
      ([REDACTED]
      %)
      will be
      subject to the AFX’ Replacement Policy as set forth in Exhibit
      7
      of the
      Service Provider Agreement.

     

    
      
        12

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    All
      requests by Buyer for replacement of defective Probe Arrays shall consist of
      an
      itemized list of the allegedly defective Probe Arrays, including Probe Array
      type, array lot number, defect classification, expiration date and any other
      information reasonably deemed pertinent to assist AFX with ongoing quality
      improvement.

     

    During
      the
      Term, the Parties agree to consult with each other to determine if there are
      ways to consistently reduce the Probe Array defect rate experienced by Buyer
      while still complying with Buyer’s standard operating procedures and meeting
      Buyer’s quality standards and, if such reduction can be achieved on a consistent
      basis, the Discretionary Return Rate can be reduced from [REDACTED]
      percent
      ([REDACTED]
      %)
      to
[REDACTED]
      percent
      ([REDACTED]
      %)
      for
      commercially available Probe Arrays, and (b) to review the defect rates
      experienced by Buyer for [REDACTED]
      and
      consider whether to alter the Discretionary Return Rate for such arrays to
      be
      consistent with the defect rate of Probe Arrays experienced by Buyer. However,
      no change to the Discretionary Return Rate shall be made without each Party’s
      written agreement.

     

    10. Indemnity
      for Intellectual Property Infringement Claims 

     

    a)
      AFX
      will indemnify Buyer and its Affiliates against liability and will settle or
      defend any suit or proceeding brought against Buyer and its Affiliates to the
      extent based on a claim that Buyer or its Affiliates in using the Products
      delivered hereunder directly infringe an issued patent in the United States
      of
      America, the European Patent System (EPO), Japan or the Republic of
      Korea.

     

    b)
      AFX
      will also indemnify Buyer and its Affiliates against liability and will settle
      or defend any suit or proceeding brought against Buyer and its Affiliates to
      the
      extent based on a claim that Buyer or its Affiliates in using the Products
      delivered hereunder indirectly (i.e. through contributory infringement or
      inducement) infringe an issued patent in the United States of America, EPO,
      Japan or the Republic of Korea if (i) a hybridization method using probe arrays,
      or probe arrays themselves, or equivalent hybridization devices are specifically
      identified as an element of the claims of such patent in a device claim, or
      use
      of these is specifically identified as an element of the claims of such patent
      in a method claim, and (ii) the patentability of such device or method claims
      was materially related to the recitation of the hybridization method or the
      probe arrays or equivalent hybridization device, or their use.

     

    c)
      AFX
      shall have no liability under this Section to the extent that the alleged
      infringement arises out of any addition or modification to the Products or
      their
      use by Buyer and its Affiliates in any material respect not specified or
      approved by AFX, or Buyer’s and its Affiliates’ combination of the Products with
      other devices not specified or approved by AFX, and Buyer shall indemnify AFX
      and its Affiliates against liability and will settle or defend any suit or
      proceeding brought against AFX and its Affiliates to the extent based on the
      foregoing. The indemnifying Party shall pay all damages and costs finally
      awarded against the indemnified Party for such infringement including reasonable
      attorney’s fees.

     

    d)
      For
      this Section to apply, the indemnified Party must promptly inform the
      indemnifying Party (so as not to prejudice the indemnifying Party in its
      preparation of a defense) of its receipt of notice of any claim or suit being
      made or brought, and give the indemnifying Party the full authority,
      information, and assistance necessary to settle or defend such suit or
      proceeding, provided that the indemnifying Party shall not have any authority
      to
      agree to any settlement that imposes any liability or obligation on the
      indemnified Party without the consent of the indemnified Party, which consent
      will not be unreasonably withheld so long as the indemnifying Party will satisfy
      or pay without recourse any liability imposed on the indemnified Party and
      the
      indemnified Party is not required to take any action or refrain from taking
      any
      other action other than discontinuing use of any product or process found to
      be
      infringing. Neither Party shall be bound in any manner by any settlement made
      without its prior written consent.

     

    e)
      In the
      event that the Products are held to infringe and their use is enjoined as a
      result of infringement for which it has indemnified Buyer and its Affiliates,
      as
      part of its indemnification, AFX may obtain for Buyer and its Affiliates the
      right to continue using such Products, modify them or the processes for using
      them to become non-infringing in such manner that does not materially impair
      their usefulness to Buyer, or grant Buyer and its Affiliates a credit for the
      cost of unused Products, and accept the return of unused Products.

     

    f)
      In no
      event shall an indemnifying Party’s aggregate, cumulative liability arising out
      of or relating to its indemnity obligations described in this Section exceed
      an
      amount equal to [REDACTED]
      (the
      “Cap”). The Cap is in the aggregate with all expenses incurred by the
      indemnifying Party arising out of or relating to its indemnity obligations
      (including, without limitation, damages, settlement amounts, costs, and legal
      fees) being aggregated to determine satisfaction of the limit. The existence
      of
      one or more claims or suits will not enlarge the Cap. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS
      SECTION STATE THE ENTIRE LIABILITY AND OBLIGATION OF EACH PARTY AS AN
      INDEMNIFYING PARTY, AND THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY OF EACH PARTY AS AN INDEMNIFIED
      PARTY, WITH RESPECT TO ANY ALLEGED OR ACTUAL INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL
      PROPERTY RIGHTS, AND ARE IN LIEU OF ALL WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, EXPRESS
      OR IMPLIED.

     

    11. Pre-release
      Products

     

    If
      any
      Product provided hereunder is a beta, technology access, early access, or
      other pre-commercial release version ("Pre-release Product") but not including
      custom Probe Arrays provided by AFX pursuant to its programs as defined in
      the
      definition of Probe Arrays in the Service Provider Agreement, unless
      specifically otherwise hereafter agreed in writing by the Parties as to any
      particular set of Products, then this Section applies. To the extent that any
      provision in this Section is in conflict with any other term or condition in
      the
      Agreement, this Section shall supercede such other term(s) and condition(s)
      with
      respect to the Pre-release Product, but only to the extent necessary to resolve
      the conflict. Buyer acknowledges that the Pre-release Product is a pre-release
      version, does not represent final product from AFX, and may contain defects,
      bugs, errors and other problems that could cause system or other failures,
      sample loss and data loss. CONSEQUENTLY, THE PRE-RELEASE PRODUCT IS PROVIDED
      TO
      YOU "AS IS", AND AFX DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES (INCLUDING THE LIMITED WARRANTY
      SET FORTH IN SECTION 9 HEREOF) AND ALL LIABILITY OBLIGATIONS TO BUYER OF ANY
      KIND. WHERE LIABILITY CANNOT BE LEGALLY EXCLUDED FOR PRE-RELEASE PRODUCTS,
      BUT
      IT MAY BE LIMITED, AFX’ LIABILITY AND THAT OF ITS REPRESENTATIVE AND ANY OF ITS
      SUPPLIERS SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE SUM OF FIFTY DOLLARS (U.S. $50) IN TOTAL.
      Buyer acknowledges that AFX has not promised or guaranteed to Buyer that
      Pre-release Product will be announced or made available to anyone in the future,
      that AFX has no express or implied obligation to Buyer to announce or introduce
      the Pre-release Product and that AFX may elect not to introduce a product
      similar to or compatible with the Pre-release Product. Accordingly, Buyer
      acknowledges that any Internal R&D that Buyer performs using the
      Pre-release Product (Buyer shall not perform Services using Pre-release Products
      unless otherwise agreed in advance by AFX) or any product associated with the
      Pre-release Product is done entirely at Buyer’s own risk. If Buyer has been
      provided the Pre-release Product pursuant to a separate written agreement with
      AFX, this Section shall not apply and Buyer's use of the Pre-release Product
      is
      governed by such agreement, unless expressly provided otherwise
      therein.

    12. Restricted
      Use Rights

     

    Buyer
      is
      not licensed to, and agrees not to: (a) resell any AFX-supplied Probe Array,
      reagent or other Product, (b) transfer or distribute any AFX-supplied Probe
      Array, reagent or other Product, directly or indirectly, to any third party
      for
      any purpose or use, except as otherwise approved by AFX in writing; (c) use
      or
      allow anyone to use any AFX-supplied Probe Array or reagent more than once,
      or dilute any AFX-supplied reagent. As used in this Agreement, "AFX-supplied"
      includes both direct and indirect supply (e.g., customer transfer).

     

    However,
      this Section shall not prohibit transfers of Products, including Software,
      (a)
      to a current Affiliate of Buyer for its own Internal R&D, provided that such
      Affiliate complies with all other applicable terms herein regarding the use
      of
      such Products or (b) to any third party to which Buyer has subcontracted any
      of
      its work, provided that Buyer has obtained AFX’ prior written consent as to the
      identity of such third party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or
      delayed) and provided further that such third party complies with all other
      applicable terms herein regarding the use of such Products.

     

    13. Product
      Improvement Inventions

     

    For
      purposes of this Section, “Assay Improvement Invention” shall mean any invention
      conceived or reduced to practice by Buyer or its Affiliates during the Term
      using AFX Probe Arrays that relates to manual or automated assay techniques
      that
      may be used in connection with Probe Arrays or similar products, but only
      insofar as such techniques are used for and after nucleic acid extraction and
      up
      to and including annealing and washing hybridization mixtures with a Probe
      Array, but not to techniques used thereafter.

     

    For
      purposes of this Section, “Product Improvement Invention” shall mean any
      invention conceived or reduced to practice by Buyer or its Affiliates during
      or
      after the Term using AFX Probe Arrays supplied to Buyer or its
      Affiliates during the Term that relates to (a) design, manufacturing,
      layout or packaging of nucleic acid probes or probe arrays; or (b) software
      techniques relating to the extraction or storage of data generated using Probe
      Arrays after samples have been annealed to the Probe Arrays (e.g., techniques
      used in generation of *.cel and *.dat files), but not including any techniques
      used thereafter (e.g., software techniques for analysis or other processing
      of
      data beyond what is required for generation of *.cel and *.dat files). Product
      Improvement Inventions also shall not (1) include data generated using Probe
      Arrays or discoveries derived therefrom (except as expressly set forth in (a)
      and (b) above) or (2) any Assay Improvement Invention, as defined herein.
      Neither Product Improvement Inventions nor Assay Improvement Inventions shall
      include (3) Target Sequences identified by Buyer as hereinafter described or
      (4)
      any discoveries or inventions made using data obtained from use of the AFX
      Probe
      Arrays, including but not limited to, discoveries or inventions relating to
      identification of markers used in biological, toxicological and clinical
      applications, correlations between nucleic acid sequences and functions,
      targets for drug discovery and development and processes for determining and
      understanding toxicity.  For clarification, such markers include without
      limitation, those derived from analysis of gene expression and genotyping data
      generated from Probe Arrays.

     

    As
      used
      herein an invention conceived or reduced to practice “using AFX Probe Arrays”
means an invention that was actually made using such arrays.

     

    For
      purposes of this Agreement, “AFX Probe Array(s)” shall mean Probe Arrays for
      which Target Sequences have been selected by AFX ("AFX Target Sequences"),
      or
      jointly by AFX and Buyer ("Buyer Target Sequences") for use on Probe Arrays
      to
      be supplied by AFX as set forth below.

     

    Except
      to
      the extent prohibited by applicable law, Buyer hereby grants to AFX and
      its Affiliates a non-exclusive, worldwide, fully paid-up,
      royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual license to all Product Improvement
      Inventions, with a right for AFX and its Affiliates to sublicense but only
      to
      AFX’ and its Affiliates’ partners and customers for use with AFX Probe
      Arrays. Buyer need not disclose any Product Improvement Inventions to AFX
      except as may be reasonably required to comply with the foregoing
      license.

     

    If
      Buyer
      elects, at its sole discretion, to commercialize a product or process that
      embodies an Assay Improvement Invention for use by multiple unrelated parties,
      then to the extent that Buyer makes such product or process available to other
      parties, Buyer agrees to negotiate in good faith with AFX (and, if necessary
      with AFX customers and partners) to make each such product or process available
      to AFX and all AFX customers and partners for use with AFX Probe Arrays on
      commercially reasonable terms comparable to those granted to other parties,
      provided that such terms may differ based on the type of party (e.g., non-profit
      vs. for-profit), the size of the party, the number of individual users or volume
      of use of the product or process, the size of the party’s R&D budget, the
      type of use intended or other factors fairly applied, and, provided further,
      that this obligation to license on comparable terms shall not apply to licenses
      granted or products sold for limited uses, including evaluation, validation
      and
      testing or small sales for one-time or otherwise very limited use. For clarity,
      if Buyer elects to commercialize such product or process by making it available
      to others subject to restrictions or other terms that would preclude others
      from
      using such product or process in business activities that would directly compete
      with Buyer’s business activities, then Buyer would not be obligated to make such
      product or process available to AFX or AFX customers or partners on terms that
      did not include the same restrictions or other terms precluding use of such
      products or processes that would directly compete with Buyer’s business
      activities.

     

    
      
        14

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    Notwithstanding
      the above, Buyer need not make available such Assay Improvement Invention to
      AFX
      and all required AFX customers and partners on comparable terms if a third
      party
      has already been granted in good faith by Buyer a conflicting assignment or
      license (or an option to obtain such an assignment or license) at or prior
      to
      the time the embodied Assay Improvement Invention is made. Buyer need not
      disclose Assay Improvement Inventions to AFX until such time as Buyer has
      elected to commercialize such product or process and makes it available to
      multiple other parties.

     

    14. Buyer
      Target Sequence Confidentiality

     

    If
      Buyer
      discloses to AFX a confidential set of nucleic acid target sequences, including
      any confidential subset of a set of nucleic acid target sequences previously
      known or used by AFX, so long as such confidential subset is not included in
      any
      of subsections (a)-(d) of this section, below (“Buyer Target Sequences”) for
      which Buyer desires AFX to design and manufacture custom AFX Probe Arrays
      ("Custom Probe Arrays") or custom nucleic acid probe panels pursuant to the
      Agreement, such collection of Target Sequences shall be deemed Confidential
      Information of Buyer and AFX agrees not to disclose or use such confidential
      information disclosed to it by Buyer for any purpose other than designing and
      manufacturing such Products, supplying them to Buyer and/or other parties
      designated by Buyer, otherwise performing its obligations to Buyer (and any
      obligations AFX may have to such other parties), and for other purposes
      authorized by Buyer. The provisions of this Section shall not apply to any
      information which AFX can demonstrate by competent proof (a) is known or used
      by
      AFX prior to Buyer’s disclosure to AFX; (b) is disclosed to AFX by a third party
      under no obligation of confidentiality to Buyer; (c) is or becomes published
      or
      generally known to the public through no fault of AFX; or (d) is independently
      developed by AFX as documented by contemporaneous records. Notwithstanding
      the
      foregoing, AFX shall be permitted to disclose such information in order to
      comply with applicable laws, a court order, or governmental regulations,
      provided that Affymetrix has provided Buyer with prior notice of such
      disclosure, to the extent reasonably practicable. AFX' obligations under this
      Section shall terminate five (5) years following expiration of the
      Term.

     

    15. Buyer
      Target Sequence Responsibility

     

    Buyer
      shall be fully responsible for the Buyer Target Sequences, and Buyer agrees
      to
      indemnify AFX and its employees, officers, directors, representatives,
      contractors, suppliers and any affiliate of the foregoing (the “AFX Group”) and
      hold each of them harmless from and against any losses, liabilities, demands,
      damages, costs and expenses, including without limitation reasonable legal
      fees
      and expenses (collectively “Damages”), arising from or relating to the Buyer
      Target Sequences or their use as permitted herein, except to the extent that
      such losses, liabilities, demands, damages, costs and expenses result from
      the
      gross negligence or willful misconduct of AFX. Buyer agrees to fully cooperate
      with the AFX Group and its counsel in its defense and preparation for any such
      action or proceeding.

     

    16. Liability
      Limitation

     

    EXCEPT
      AS
      PROVIDED IN THE INDEMNITY FOR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY HEREIN OR TO THE EXTENT
      (I)
      CAUSED BY EITHER PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR
      (II) REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER PARTY NOR ITS REPRESENTATIVES
      SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR THE OTHER PARTY’S LOSS OF USE OR
      PROFITS, PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL,
      INCIDENTAL, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, HOWEVER CAUSED AND REGARDLESS OF
      FORM OF ACTION WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT PRODUCT
      LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF THE PARTY AT FAULT OR ITS REPRESENTATIVE HAS
      BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; AS TO ANY LIABILITY OF
      EITHER PARTY TO THE OTHER NOT LEGALLY SUBJECT TO THE FOREGOING, THE
      LIABILITY OF EITHER PARTY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE CAP AS TO THE INDEMNITY FOR
      INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 10 HEREOF AND AS
      TO
      ANYTHING ELSE, AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE AMOUNT PAID BY BUYER TO AFX IN THE PRIOR
      TWELVE (12) MONTHS. EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS THAT THE RISKS OF LOSS HEREUNDER
      ARE
      REFLECTED IN THE PRICE OF THE PRODUCTS AND THAT THESE TERMS WOULD HAVE BEEN
      DIFFERENT IF THERE HAD BEEN A DIFFERENT ALLOCATION OF RISK.

     

    17. Confidentiality

     

    Each
      Party
      agrees to use reasonable efforts to not disclose or use the confidential
      information of the other Party (including without limitation the contents of
      this Agreement) for any purpose not contemplated in this Agreement. The
      provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any information which the
      receiving Party can demonstrate by competent proof (a) is known or used by
      the receiving Party prior to disclosure by the disclosing Party; (b) is
      disclosed to the receiving Party by a third party under no obligation of
      confidentiality to the disclosing Party; (c) is or becomes published or
      generally known to the public through no fault of the receiving Party; (d)
      is
      independently developed by the receiving Party as documented by contemporaneous
      records; (e) is required to be disclosed by a final order of a court of
      competent jurisdiction; or (f) is otherwise required to be disclosed by
      applicable law following notice of not less than thirty (30) days to the
      disclosing Party (unless the deadline imposed by such law does not permit such
      a
      thirty (30) day notice period, in which case the notice period must be
      reasonable under the circumstances). The obligations under this paragraph shall
      terminate as to any confidential information five (5) years following the
      expiration of the Term.

     

    Notwithstanding
      the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, to the extent that AFX
      makes SIF, exemplar and/or probe pair sequence, gene annotation information,
      and
      .cdf libraries associated with Probe Arrays (“Probe Array
      Information”) generally available to the public or its Probe Array customers,
      Buyer shall also have the right to disclose such Probe Array Information to
      third parties for the purpose of enabling Buyer to develop and commercialize
      its
      Databases, software and Services, provided that to the extent such Probe
      Array Information is considered Confidential Information of AFX, each such
      third
      party agrees in writing to be bound by confidentiality obligations consistent
      with those set forth in this Section, provided further that Buyer shall not
      commercialize Probe Array Information as a stand alone product without mutual
      agreement of the Parties.  Furthermore, except in connection with their use
      of Buyer’s Databases, software or Services, Buyer shall not permit users
      that receive Probe Array Information directly or indirectly from Buyer to post
      any Probe Array Information on a commercial or for-profit Web site, or within
      a
      commercial or for-profit software application, or otherwise charge for access
      to
      or use of any Probe Array Information, without AFX’ prior written permission,
      and Buyer shall require that such users agree to terms and conditions that
      are
      consistent with this sentence.  Buyer shall not be permitted to disclose or
      use Probe Array Information as described herein if such disclosure or use (i)
      would be in violation of any contractual obligation of Buyer or, to Buyer’s
      knowledge, AFX to a third party or (ii) would infringe a valid and enforceable
      patent or, to Buyer’s knowledge, other intellectual property right of a third
      party.  Buyer shall be fully responsible for, and agrees to indemnify the
      AFX Group and hold each of them harmless from and against any Damages arising
      from or relating to, its disclosure and use of Probe Array
      Information.

    18. Export
      Controls

     

    Buyer
      acknowledges that the Products and related software, technical documents
      and materials are subject to export controls under the U.S. Export
      Administration Regulations and related U.S. laws. Buyer will (i) comply strictly
      with all legal requirements established under these controls, (ii) cooperate
      fully with AFX in any official or unofficial audit or inspection that relates
      to
      these controls and (iii) not export, re-export, divert, transfer or disclose,
      directly or indirectly, any Product, or related technical documents or materials
      or any direct product thereof to any country (or to any national or resident
      thereof) which the U.S. Government determines from time to time is a country
      (or
      end-user) to which such export, re-export, diversion, transfer or disclosure
      is
      restricted, without obtaining the prior written authorization of AFX and the
      applicable U.S. Government agency.

     

    19. Miscellaneous

     

    The
      Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Buyer and AFX with respect
      to
      the subject matter hereof and is the final, complete, and exclusive statement
      of
      the terms of the Agreement, superseding all prior written and oral agreements,
      understandings and undertakings with respect to the subject matter hereof.
      For
      avoidance of doubt, the following agreements between the Parties shall continue
      in full force and effect: the HTA Agreement, the Limited Research and
      Development License Agreement dated November 2, 2004 and all current Instrument
      and Software service agreements.  Modifications to the Agreement may be
      made only in writing, signed by an authorized corporate officer of each Party.
      The waiver of any term or condition or any breach thereof shall not affect
      any
      other term or condition of the Agreement. The Agreement shall be governed by
      and
      construed according to the laws of California,
      without
      regard to conflict of law provisions. The U.N. Convention on Contracts for
      the
      International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement. Neither Party
      may
      assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement without the
      consent of the other Party, except that either Party may assign its rights
      and
      obligations under this Agreement to an assignee of or successor to all or
      substantially all of the relevant assets of either Party, whether by
      merger, sale of assets or otherwise.  In any legal action commenced to
      enforce or interpret this Agreement, the prevailing Party shall be entitled
      to
      reasonable legal fees and expenses. AFX may terminate this Agreement immediately
      upon written notice to Buyer if Buyer becomes the subject of a petition in
      bankruptcy or any proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership or
      liquidation, and, in the case of involuntary petition only, such petition is
      not
      released within sixty (60) days of filing; in such event all payment obligations
      of Buyer under this Agreement will become due immediately. Expiration or
      termination of this Agreement will not relieve Buyer of any payment obligation
      that remains at the time of such termination or termination. Sections 5, 7
      and
      9-19 of these Terms and Conditions shall survive expiration or termination.
      In
      the event that any provision of the Agreement or portion thereof is found to
      be
      illegal or unenforceable, the Agreement shall be construed without the
      unenforceable provision or portion thereof.

(b)

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Depositor, in consideration of the purchase price of the Contracts and the related Transferred Assets and the retention of the Equity Certificate, does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Trust, on the Closing Date, by execution of this Agreement, without recourse (other than as expressly provided herein), (i) all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the Contracts and the related Transferred Assets identified in this Agreement, and (ii) all income from and proceeds of the foregoing.

(e)

The Depositor, by execution and delivery of this Agreement (or Substitution Transfer Agreement, as applicable) authorizes the Trust to file UCC financing statements naming the Depositor as Debtor, the Trust as Secured Party and the Indenture Trustee as Assignee in each jurisdiction that the Depositor deems necessary in order to protect its security interests in the Contracts and Equipment.

Upon consummation of such substitution, the Trust shall be deemed to have assigned to the Depositor all of the Trust’s right, title and interest in and to the Replaced Assets, without recourse, representation or warranty.

In addition, the parties hereto intend and agree that any conveyance described in this Section 2.03 is made with the intent and effect described in subsection (c) of Section 2.01 above.

(vii)

each of the representations and warranties made by [_________] pursuant to Article III of the Series 20[  ]-[__] Purchase Agreement or Non-ACE Purchase Agreement, as the case may be, shall be true and correct as of the related Substitution Transfer Date (including the representation made as to compliance with the UCC filing criteria set forth in clause (j) of the definition of Eligible Contract), and [_________] shall have performed in all material respects all obligations to be performed by it under the Series 20[  ]-[__] Purchase Agreement or Non-ACE Purchase Agreement, as the case may be, on or prior to such Substitution Transfer Date; and

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the foregoing in no way constitutes a waiver, release or termination of any of the rights of the Trust with respect to the Equipment financed by any Contract and the rights related to such Equipment.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 3.01

Representations and Warranties of [_________].  Under the Purchase and Sale Agreements, [_________] has made, and upon execution of each Substitution Assignment Agreement is deemed to remake with respect to the relevant Contract Assets conveyed by the Non-ACE Purchase Agreement, or the Series 20[  ]-[__] Purchase Agreement, as the case may be, each of the representations and warranties set forth in the Schedule of Representations, and has consented (in consideration of the Depositor’s purchase of the Contracts) to the assignment by the Depositor to the Trust of the Depositor’s rights with respect thereto.  Such representations speak as of the Closing Date in the case of the Initial Contracts, and as of the applicable Substitution Transfer Date in the case of the Substitute Contracts, but shall survive the transfer and assignment of the related Contracts to the Trust.  Pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Agreement, the Depositor has sold, assigned, transferred and conveyed to the Trust as part of the Transferred Assets its rights under the Purchase and Sale Agreements, including without limitation, the representations and warranties of [_________] therein as set forth in the Schedule of Representations, together with all rights of the Depositor with respect to any breach thereof including any right to require [_________] to repurchase or substitute for any Contract in accordance with the Purchase and Sale Agreements.  It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth or referred to in this Section shall survive delivery of the Contract Files to the Trust or any custodian.

The Depositor hereby confirms to the Trust that it has entered into the Purchase and Sale Agreements with [_________], that [_________] has made the representations and warranties in the Schedule of Representations, that such representations and warranties run to and are for the benefit of the Trust, and that pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Agreement the Depositor has transferred and assigned to the Trust all rights of the Depositor to cause [_________] under the Purchase and Sale Agreements to repurchase or substitute for Contracts conveyed thereunder in the event of a breach of such representations and warranties applicable to such Contract.

Section 3.02

Representations and Warranties of the Depositor.  By its execution of this Agreement, and each Substitution Transfer Agreement, the Depositor represents and warrants to the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the Equity Certificateholder that, as of the Closing Date and Substitution Transfer Date (and, with respect to the representation set forth in subsection (k) of this Section 3.02 below, as of the date the certificate, written report or written statement referred to in such subsection is furnished):

(a)

Organization and Good Standing.  The Depositor is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the requisite power to own its assets and to transact the business in which it is currently engaged.  The Depositor is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the business transacted by it, or properties owned or leased by it, requires such qualification and in which the failure so to qualify would have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Depositor or the Trust.

(b)

Authorization; Valid Transfer; Binding Obligations.  The Depositor has the power and authority to make, execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and all of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and to create the Trust and cause it to make, execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and has taken all necessary action to authorize the due execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to cause the Trust to be created.  This Agreement and any Substitution Transfer Agreement shall effect a valid transfer and assignment of the right, title, and interest of the Depositor in and to relevant Transferred Assets, enforceable against the Depositor and creditors of and purchasers from the Depositor.  This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Depositor is a party have been duly executed and delivered by the Depositor and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Depositor enforceable against the Depositor in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement of such terms may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, any applicable law imposing limitations upon, or otherwise affecting, the availability or enforcement of rights to indemnification hereunder and by the availability of equitable remedies.  The Depositor is selling the Transferred Assets to the Trust with the intention of removing the Transferred Assets from the estate of the Depositor pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

(c)

No Consent Required.  The Depositor is not required to obtain the consent of any other Person or any consent, license, approval or authorization from, or registration or declaration with, any Governmental Authority in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

(d)

No Violations.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party by the Depositor, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, will not violate any Requirements of Law applicable to the Depositor, or constitute a material breach of any mortgage, indenture, contract or other agreement to which the Depositor is a party or by which the Depositor or any of the Depositor’s properties may be bound, or result in the creation or imposition of any security interest, lien, charge, pledge, preference, equity or encumbrance of any kind upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such mortgage, indenture, contract or other agreement, other than as contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

(e)

Litigation.  No litigation or administrative proceeding of or before any court, tribunal or governmental body is currently pending, or to the knowledge of the Depositor threatened, against the Depositor or any of its properties or with respect to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party (1) which, if adversely determined, would in the reasonable judgment of the Depositor have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Depositor or the Trust or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to which the Depositor is a party or (2) seeking to adversely affect the federal income tax or other federal, state or local tax attributes of the Notes.

(f)

Taxes.  The Depositor has filed or caused to be filed all material tax returns which, to its knowledge, are required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns or on any material assessments made against it or any of its property and all other material taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than any amount of tax due, the validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been provided on the books of the Depositor); no tax lien has been filed and, to the Depositor’s knowledge, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge.

(g)

Schedule of Representations.  The representations and warranties set forth on the Schedule of Representations are true and correct as of the Closing Date (or Substitution Transfer Date, as applicable) with respect to the Transferred Assets being conveyed to the Trust on such date.

(h)

Solvency.  The Depositor, at the time of and after giving effect to each conveyance made hereunder, is Solvent on and as of the date thereof.

(i)

Domicile; Name Changes.  The Depositor’s state of organization has not been changed within the four months preceding the Closing Date and any Substitution Transfer Date (or if so changed, all necessary actions in connection with such change have been or are being timely taken in accordance with Section 4.03 hereof).  The Depositor has not changed its name, whether by amendment of its certificate of formation, by reorganization or otherwise, within the four months preceding such date (or if so changed, all necessary actions in connection with such change have been or are being timely taken in accordance with Section 4.03 hereof).

(j)

Not an Investment Company.  The Depositor is not an “investment company” (and does not control, and is not under the control of, an investment company) within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (or the Depositor is exempt from all provisions of such Act).

(k)

Accuracy of Information.  No certificate, written report or written statement furnished by the Depositor to the Servicer, the Trust, the Owner Trustee, any Securityholder or the Administrator in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document was inaccurate in any material respect as of the date it was dated or (except as otherwise disclosed to the Servicer, the Trust, the Owner Trustee, such Securityholder or the Administrator, as the case may be, at such time) as of the date so furnished.

(l)

Security Interest.  This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the UCC) in the Contracts in favor of the Trust, which security interest is prior to all other Liens (other than Permitted Liens), and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Depositor.  The Depositor has caused, or will have caused within ten days after the date hereof, the filing of all appropriate UCC financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Contracts granted to the Trust hereunder.  All UCC financing statements filed or to be filed against the Depositor in favor of the Trust in connection herewith describing the Contracts contain or will contain a statement to the effect that a purchase of or security interest in any Contracts described in such financing statement will violate the rights of the Trust.

(m)

Priority.  Other than the security interest granted to the Trust pursuant to this Agreement, the Depositor has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Contracts (other than to the ACE Trust, which Contracts were reconveyed to the Depositor pursuant to the ACE Assignment).  The Depositor has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Depositor that include a description of collateral covering the Contracts other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Trust hereunder or that has been terminated (other than to the ACE Trust, which security interests were reconveyed to the Depositor pursuant to UCC-1 or UCC-3 Assignments).  The Depositor is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against it.

(n)

The Depositor, or the Servicer, on behalf of the Depositor, will at its own expense on or shortly after the Closing Date, indicate in its computer records that the Transferred Assets have been conveyed to the Trust pursuant to the Agreement.

(o)

The Depositor or the Servicer, on behalf of the Depositor, will provide the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust, a statement or computer disk listing the Contract Pool Principal Balance on the Closing Date of the Contracts being transferred on the Closing Date.

Such representations (except to the extent expressly stated by their terms to speak as of a different date or time) speak as of the Closing Date and each Substitution Transfer Date, if any, but shall survive the transfer and assignment of the Contracts to the Trust.

Section 3.03

Representations and Warranties of the Servicer.  The Servicer represents and warrants to the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the Equity Certificateholder that, as of the date of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date and each Substitution Transfer Date:

This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Servicer is a party have been duly executed and delivered by the Servicer and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Servicer enforceable against the Servicer in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement of such terms may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, any applicable law imposing limitations upon, or otherwise affecting, the availability or enforcement of rights to indemnification hereunder and by the availability of equitable remedies.

(c)

No Consent Required.  The Servicer is not required to obtain the consent of any other Person or any consent, license, approval or authorization from, or registration or declaration with, any Governmental Authority in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Servicer is a party.

(d)

No Violations.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Servicer is a party by the Servicer will not violate any Requirements of Law applicable to the Servicer, or constitute a material breach of any mortgage, indenture, contract or other agreement to which the Servicer is a party or by which the Servicer or any of the Servicer’s properties may be bound, or result in the creation of or imposition of any security interest, lien, pledge, preference, equity or encumbrance of any kind upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such mortgage, indenture, contract or other agreement, other than as contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

(e)

Litigation.  No litigation or administrative proceeding of or before any court, tribunal or governmental body is currently pending, or to the knowledge of the Servicer threatened, against the Servicer or any of its properties or with respect to this Agreement, or any other Transaction Document to which the Servicer is a party which, if adversely determined, would in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Servicer or the Trust or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which the Servicer is a party.

(f)

Accuracy of Information.  No certificate, written report or written statement, furnished by the Servicer to the Depositor, the Trust, the Owner Trustee, any Securityholder or the Administrator in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document was inaccurate in any material respect as of the date it was dated or (except as otherwise disclosed to the Depositor, the Trust, the Owner Trustee, such Securityholder or the Administrator, as the case may be, at such time) as of the date so furnished.  Each financial statement furnished pursuant to clause (i) of Section 9.04 is complete and correct in all material respects and fairly presents the financial condition of the Servicer (or its parent entity, if the Servicer is a wholly-owned subsidiary of another entity), as of the reporting date specified therein, and the results of operations of the Servicer (or such parent entity, as applicable) for the period then ended, all in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as in effect in the jurisdiction of the entity for which such financial statement is furnished.

(g)

ARTICLE IV

PERFECTION OF TRANSFERS AND PROTECTION OF SECURITY INTERESTS

Section 4.01

Custody of Contracts.  (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 4.01, the contents of each Contract File shall be held in the custody of the Servicer (including through any subservicer contemplated under Section 5.05), for the benefit of, and as agent for, the Noteholders, the Equity Certificateholder, the Indenture Trustee and the Trust, as the owner thereof.

(b)

The Servicer agrees to maintain the Contract Files at its offices where they are currently maintained, or at such other offices of the Servicer (or a subservicer contemplated under Section 5.05) as shall from time to time be established by the Servicer or such subservicer (or in certain instances at offsite storage facilities in the same general geographic area as an office of the Servicer or subservicer, pursuant to contractual agreement between the Servicer or subservicer and the Person owning or maintaining such offsite facility).  The Servicer may temporarily move individual Contract Files or any portion thereof without notice or other such compliance, as necessary to conduct collection and other servicing activities in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided, however, that the Servicer will take all action necessary to maintain the perfection of the Trust’s interest in the Trust Assets and the proceeds thereof.  It is intended that by the Servicer’s agreement pursuant to Section 4.01(a) above and this Section 4.01(b), the Trust and the Owner Trustee for the benefit of the Trust shall be deemed to have possession of the Contract Files for purposes of Section 9-301 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State in which the Contract Files are located.

(c)

As custodian, the Servicer shall have and perform the following powers and duties:

(i)

hold the Contract Files on behalf of the Noteholders and the Equity Certificateholder and the Trust; maintain accurate records pertaining to each Contract to enable it to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and maintain a current inventory thereof,

(ii)

maintain and comply with Customary Policies and Procedures with respect to Persons authorized to have access to the Contract Files;

(iii)

attend to all details in connection with maintaining custody of the Contract Files on behalf of the Noteholder and the Equity Certificateholder and the Trust; and

(iv)

indicate in the appropriate computer records that the Contracts as of the Closing Date (or Substitution Transfer Date, as the case may be) have been conveyed to the Trust.

(d)

In performing its duties under this Section 4.01, the Servicer agrees to act in accordance with the applicable Servicing Standard.  In acting as custodian of the Contract Files, the Servicer further agrees not to assert any legal or beneficial ownership interest in the Contracts or the Contract Files, except as provided in Section 5.02.

(e)

The Servicer agrees to indemnify the Noteholders and the Equity Certificateholder, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Trust for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, payments, costs, or expenses of any kind whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any of such parties as the result of any act or omission by the Servicer relating to the maintenance and custody of the Contract Files or any other breach or noncompliance of the Servicer in the performance of its duties and obligations as Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that the Servicer will not be liable to any such party for any portion of any such amount resulting from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of such party.

Section 4.02

Filings.  On or prior to the Closing Date, the Servicer shall cause UCC financing statement(s) to be filed or provided for, and from time to time the Servicer shall take and cause to be taken such other actions and execute such other documents as are necessary to perfect or further perfect and protect the Trust’s first priority interest (subject to Permitted Liens) in the Trust Assets against all other Persons.  Such additional actions may include without limitation, the filing of financing statements, amendments thereto and continuation statements, the execution of transfer instruments and the making of notations on or taking possession of records or documents of title.

Section 4.03

Name Change or Relocation.  (a) During the term of this Agreement, neither the Servicer nor the Depositor shall change, nor shall the Servicer permit any Financing Originator which is an Affiliate of the Servicer to change, (x) its state of organization, name, identity or structure or location within the meaning of the applicable UCC or (y) the location of the Contract Files, without first giving at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Servicer, the Owner Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee.

(b)

If any change in either the Servicer’s, a Financing Originator’s (in the case of an Affiliate of the Servicer or, if the Servicer has actual knowledge of such change, in the case of a Financing Originator which is not an Affiliate of the Servicer) or the Depositor’s name, identity or structure or other action would make any financing or continuation statement or notice of lien seriously misleading within the meaning of applicable provisions of the UCC or any title statute, the Servicer, no later than four months after the effective date of such change, shall file such amendments as may be required to preserve and protect the Trust’s interests in the Trust Assets and the proceeds thereof.  In addition, neither any Financing Originator which is an Affiliate of the Servicer, the Servicer nor the Depositor shall change its state of organization or the location of the Contract Files unless it has first taken such action as is necessary to preserve and protect the Trust’s interest in the Trust Assets.

Promptly after taking any of the foregoing actions (but not later than 20 calendar days), the Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all financing statements or amendments necessary to preserve and protect the interests of the Trust and Indenture Trustee in the Trust Assets have been filed, and reciting the details of such filing.

ARTICLE V

SERVICING OF CONTRACTS

Section 5.01

Initial Servicer’s Appointment and Acceptance; Responsibility for Contract Administration.  [_________] shall be and is hereby appointed as the Servicer and custodian (as contemplated in Article IV hereof) pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Contract Assets in the Contract Pool.  [_________] accepts the appointment and agrees to act as the Servicer and custodian pursuant to this Agreement.

Except to the extent otherwise specified herein or as contemplated in Section 5.05, the Servicer will have the sole obligation to manage, administer, service and make collections on the Contracts and perform or cause to be performed all contractual and customary undertakings of the Originator of the Contracts to the Obligor.  The Trust, at the written request of a Servicing Officer, shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney or other documents necessary or appropriate in the opinion of the Servicer to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder.  The Servicer is hereby appointed the Servicer hereunder until such time as any Servicing Transfer may be effected pursuant to Article VIII hereof.

Section 5.02

General Duties.  The Servicer will service, administer and enforce the Contracts in the Contract Pool on behalf of the Trust and will have full power and authority to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which it deems necessary or desirable and as shall not contravene the provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.  The Servicer will manage, service, administer, and make collections on the Contracts in the Contract Pool in accordance with the Servicing Standard.  The Servicer’s duties will include collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors regarding the Contracts in the Contract Pool, investigating delinquencies, accounting for collections, furnishing reports with respect to collections and payments as contemplated in Article IX hereof, making Servicer Advances in accordance with Section 5.14 hereof, and using its best efforts to maintain the perfected first priority interest of the Trust in the Trust Assets (subject to Permitted Liens).  The Servicer will have full power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with such managing, servicing, administration, and collection that it deems necessary or desirable.  If the Servicer commences a legal proceeding to enforce a Defaulted Contract pursuant to Section 5.15 or commences or participates in a legal proceeding (including a bankruptcy proceeding) relating to or involving a Contract in the Contract Pool, the Trust will be deemed to have automatically assigned such Contract to the Servicer solely for purposes of, and to the extent necessary for, commencing or participating in any such proceeding as a party or claimant (but in all cases subject to the continuing interest of the Trust and its assignees in the proceeds and recoveries from such proceedings, as and to the extent provided in the Transaction Documents), and the Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Trust, pursuant to this Section 5.02, to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself and the Trust, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or partial or full release or discharge, and all other notices, demands, claims, complaints, responses, affidavits or other documents or instruments in connection with any such proceedings.  If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it is held that the Servicer may not enforce a Contract on the grounds that it is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Contract, then the Trust will, at the Servicer’s expense and written direction, take steps to enforce the Contract, including bringing suit in the Trust’s name.

Section 5.03

Assignment or Replacement.  At the request of an Obligor, the Servicer may in its sole discretion consent to the assignment by such Obligor of its rights under a Contract in the Contract Pool or the sublease of a unit of the Equipment relating to such a Contract, so long as such Obligor remains liable for all of its obligations under such Contract; provided, that the Servicer may release such Obligor from its obligations if the Obligor’s assignee is determined by the Servicer to be of at least equivalent credit risk, all in accordance with Customary Policies and Procedures.  Upon the request of any Obligor, the Servicer may, in its sole discretion, provide for the substitution or replacement of any unit of Equipment for a substantially similar unit of Equipment, so long as such Obligor remains liable for all of its obligations under such Contract.

Section 5.04

Disposition Upon Termination of Contract.  Upon the termination of a Contract included in the Contract Pool as a result of a default by the Obligor thereunder, and upon any such Contract becoming a Defaulted Contract, the Servicer will use commercially reasonable efforts to dispose of any related Equipment.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Servicer disposes of any such Equipment by purchasing such Equipment or by selling such Equipment to any of its Affiliates, such disposition shall be for a purchase price equal to the fair market value thereof (as determined by the Servicer in its reasonable discretion).  The Servicer will deposit any Prepayments and any Liquidation Proceeds derived from any such disposition in accordance with Article VII hereof.

Section 5.05

Subservicers.  The Servicer may enter into servicing agreements with one or more subservicers (including any Affiliate of the Servicer) to perform all or a portion of the servicing functions on behalf of the Servicer; provided that the Servicer shall remain obligated and be liable to the Trust for servicing and administering the Contracts in the Contract Pool in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation and liability by virtue of the appointment of such subservicer, to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering such Contracts.  The fees and expenses of the subservicer (if any) will be as agreed between the Servicer and its subservicer and neither the Owner Trustee, the Trust, the Indenture Trustee nor any Noteholder or Equity Certificateholder will have any responsibility therefor.  All actions of a subservicer taken pursuant to such a sub-servicing agreement will be taken as an agent of the Servicer with the same force and effect as though performed by the Servicer.

Section 5.06

Further Assurance.  The Trust will execute and deliver to the Servicer, and the Servicer will prepare and furnish any subservicer with, any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer or a subservicer, as applicable, to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

Section 5.07

Notice to Obligors.  In the event that the Servicer resigns or is replaced, then if the place for payment pursuant to any Contract is changed, the Successor Servicer must give each related Obligor prompt written notice of the appointment of the Successor Servicer and the place to which such Obligor should make payments pursuant to each such Contract.

Section 5.08

Collection Efforts; Modification of Contracts.  (a) The Servicer will make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Contracts in the Contract Pool as and when the same become due, in accordance with the Servicing Standard.  The Servicer is authorized in its discretion to waive any Late Charges, or other administrative fees, expenses and charges collectible in respect of a Contract in the Contract Pool, including late payment interest, documentation fees, insurance administration charges, and extension fees.

(b)

The Servicer also may, subject to Sections 5.09 and 5.10, at the request of an Obligor and at the Servicer’s option, waive, amend, modify or otherwise vary any other provision of a Contract in accordance with Customary Policies and Procedures (it being understood that any modification or amendment of a Contract resulting from an Insolvency Event with respect to the related Obligor will not be deemed to have been granted by the Servicer hereunder), including without limitation:

(i)

in order to (A) change the Obligor’s regular due date to a date within the same Collection Period in which such due date occurs, or (B) re-amortize (over the remainder of the original Contract term) the Scheduled Payments on a Contract following a partial Prepayment (provided, that the sum of such partial Prepayment and the Contract Principal Balance of the affected Contract after re-amortization is at least equal to the Contract Principal Balance for such Contract prior to giving effect to the partial Prepayment), or

(ii)

for any other purpose; provided, that no such modification or amendment shall:

(A)

change the amount or the due date of any Scheduled Payment (except as provided in clauses (i)(A) and (B) above, Section 5.09 and Section 5.10 below);

(B)

release the related Equipment from the Contract, unless (1) the release complies with Section 5.03 above, or (2) the release is pursuant to a partial Prepayment (which, in the case of a partial Prepayment on a Lease, meets the requirements of Section 5.09 below) and the ratio of the fair market value (determined by the Servicer in its reasonable discretion) of the related Equipment to the Contract Principal Balance of the affected Contract after giving effect to such Prepayment and release, is at least equal to such ratio existing prior to such event;

(C)

except as provided in clause (ii)(A) above, result in the Contract Principal Balance of the Contract being less than it would have been absent such modification or amendment; or

(D)

if such modification or amendment had been in effect on the Closing Date or the relevant Substitution Transfer Date with respect to the Contract, cause or have caused the Contract not to constitute an Eligible Contract.

Section 5.09

Prepayments of Certain Contracts.  The Servicer may, at its option and in accordance with Customary Policies and Procedures, agree to permit a Contract in the Contract Pool that is not otherwise contractually prepayable by its terms and is not a Defaulted Contract, to become a Prepaid Contract through a voluntary Prepayment by the Obligor (which shall not be deemed to include prepayment due to a Casualty Loss); provided, that the Servicer will not permit the voluntary full or partial Prepayment of such a Contract unless the amount of such Prepayment (or, in the case of a partial Prepayment, the sum of such Prepayment and the remaining Contract Principal Balance of the Contract after application of such Prepayment), together with such additional amounts as are (i) otherwise available to or supplied by the Servicer for the purpose of prepaying such Contract, and (ii) deposited in the Collection Account contemporaneously with the deposit therein of such Prepayment, is at least equal to the Required Payoff Amount for such Contract determined as of the beginning of the current Collection Period.

Section 5.10

Certain Extensions; Acceleration.  (a) The Servicer may (subject to subsection (b) below) grant payment extensions on a Contract in the Contract Pool, consistent with Customary Policies and Procedures (it being understood that any extensions on a Contract resulting from an Insolvency Event with respect to the related Obligor will not be deemed to have been granted by the Servicer hereunder) if the Servicer believes in good faith that such extension is necessary to avoid a termination and liquidation of such Contract and will maximize the amount to be received by the Trust with respect to such Contract; provided, however, that the aggregate period of all extensions granted on a Contract shall not exceed six months.  Nothing in this Section 5.10 shall be deemed to prevent the Servicer from extending or renewing, or otherwise accepting the continued performance by the Obligor under, a Contract after expiration of its stated term.

(b)

The Servicer also, consistent with Customary Policies and Procedures, may accelerate (or elect not to accelerate) the maturity of all or any Scheduled Payments under any Contract in the Contract Pool under which a default under the terms thereof has occurred and is continuing (after the lapse of any applicable grace period); provided that the Servicer may accelerate the Scheduled Payments due under any Contract in the Contract Pool (and take other action in accordance with applicable Customary Policies and Procedures, including repossessing or otherwise converting the related Equipment, to realize upon the value of such Contract and the related Equipment) to the fullest extent permitted by the terms of such Contract, promptly after such Contract becomes a Defaulted Contract.

Section 5.11

Taxes and Other Amounts.  To the extent provided for in any Contract in the Contract Pool, the Servicer will make reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect (or cause to be collected) all payments with respect to amounts due for taxes, assessments and insurance premiums relating to such Contract or the related Equipment and remit such amounts to the appropriate Governmental Authority or insurer on or prior to the date such payments are due.

Section 5.12

Suits by Servicer.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Servicer does not have any obligation pursuant to this Agreement to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its servicing duties under this Agreement.

Section 5.13

Remittances.  The Servicer will remit and service all Collections in accordance with Article VII hereof.

Section 5.14

Servicer Advances.  For any Collection Period, if the Servicer determines that any Scheduled Payment (or portion thereof) which was due and payable pursuant to a Contract in the Contract Pool during such Collection Period was not received prior to the end of such Collection Period, the Servicer shall make a Servicer Advance in an amount up to the amount of such delinquent Scheduled Payment (or portion thereof), to the extent that in its sole discretion it determines that it can recover such amount from subsequent Collections under the related Contract; provided, however, if a Person other than an affiliate of [_________] becomes the Servicer hereunder, such Person shall not be required to make a Servicer Advance.  The Servicer will deposit any Servicer Advances into the Collection Account on or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Deposit Date, in immediately available funds.  The Servicer will be entitled to be reimbursed for Servicer Advances pursuant to Article VII hereof.

Section 5.15

Realization Upon Liquidated Contract.  The Servicer will use its reasonable best efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to repossess or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of any Equipment relating to a Liquidated Contract and will act as transfer and processing agent for Equipment or Applicable Security which it repossesses.  The Servicer will follow such other practices and procedures, consistent with the Servicing Standard, in order to realize upon such Equipment or Applicable Security, which practices and procedures may include reasonable efforts to enforce all obligations of Obligors and repossessing and selling such Equipment or Applicable Security at public or private sale in circumstances other than those described in the preceding sentence.  In any case in which any such Equipment or Applicable Security has suffered damage, the Servicer will not expend funds in connection with any repair or toward the repossession of such Equipment or Applicable Security unless it determines in its discretion that such repair and/or repossession will increase the Liquidation Proceeds by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses.  The Servicer will remit to the Collection Account the Liquidation Proceeds received in connection with the transfer or disposition of Equipment or Applicable Security relating to a Liquidated Contract in accordance with Article VII hereof.

Section 5.16

Maintenance of Insurance Policies.  The Servicer will use reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to ensure that each Obligor complies with applicable insurance requirements set forth in the related Contract; provided that the Servicer, in accordance with Customary Policies and Procedures, may allow Obligors to self-insure.  If an Obligor fails to maintain property damage insurance to the extent required under its Contract, the Servicer may, consistent with Customary Policies and Procedures, purchase and maintain such insurance on behalf of, and at the expense of (if the applicable Contract so provides), the Obligor.  In connection with its activities as Servicer of Contracts in the Contract Pool, the Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the Trust and the Noteholders or Equity Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under each Insurance Policy and any such liability policy, and to settle, adjust and compromise such claims, in each case, consistent with the terms of each Contract.

Section 5.17

Certain Other Duties With Respect to Trust.  The Servicer shall, and hereby agrees that it will, monitor the Trust’s compliance with all applicable provisions of state and federal securities laws, notify the Trust and the Administrator of any actions to be taken by the Trust necessary for compliance with such laws and prepare on behalf of the Trust and the Administrator all notices, filings or other documents or instruments required to be filed under such laws.

Section 5.19

Payment of Certain Expenses by Servicer.  The Servicer will be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities under this Agreement, including fees and disbursements of independent accountants, counsel, the Trustees, taxes imposed on the Servicer, expenses incurred in connection with payments and reports pursuant to this Agreement and the Administration Agreement, and all other fees and expenses not expressly stated under this Agreement (including ongoing fees and expenses of the Owner Trustee) to be for the account of the Trust or the Depositor, but excluding Liquidation Expenses incurred as a result of activities contemplated by Section 5.15 (which may be netted from Liquidation Proceeds).  The Servicer will be required to pay all reasonable fees and expenses owing to the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee in connection with the maintenance of the Collection Account.  The Servicer shall be required to pay such expenses for its own account and shall not be entitled to any payment or reimbursement therefor other than the Servicing Fee, payable from Collections as provided herein.

Section 5.20

Records.  The Servicer shall, during the period it is Servicer hereunder, maintain such books of account and other records as will enable the Trust or the Administrator to determine the status of each Contract in the Contract Pool.

Section 5.21

The examination referred to in this Section will be conducted in a manner which does not unreasonably interfere with the Servicer’s normal operations or customer or employee relations.  Without otherwise limiting the scope of the examination, such examining party may, using generally accepted audit procedures, verify the status of each such Contract and review the Computer Disk and records relating thereto for conformity to reports prepared by the Servicer pursuant to Article IX hereof, and compliance with the standards represented to exist as to each such Contract in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

(b)

At all times during the term hereof, the Servicer shall keep available a copy of the Schedule of Contracts at its principal executive office for inspection by any such party referred to in subsection (a) of this Section 5.21.

Section 5.22

Trust To Cooperate in Releases.  At the same time as (i) any Lease in the Contract Pool terminates and the Equipment related to such Lease is sold, (ii) any Contract in the Contract Pool becomes a Prepaid Contract and in connection therewith the Equipment related to such Prepaid Contract is sold, (iii) the final Scheduled Payment is made in full on a Contract in the Contract Pool, (iv) a Contract previously in the Contract Pool becomes a Replaced Contract in accordance with Section 2.03, or is repurchased by deposit of a Purchase Amount as provided herein, or (v) the Servicer substitutes or replaces any unit of Equipment as contemplated in Section 5.03, the Trust shall to the extent requested by the Servicer release the Trust’s interest in the Equipment relating to such affected Contract or such substituted or replaced Equipment, as the case may be; provided that such release will not constitute a release of the Trust’s interest in the proceeds of Equipment the subject of a Contract still in the Contract Pool (other than with respect to Equipment that is replaced pursuant to Section 5.03).  In connection with any transfer of such Equipment, the Trust and the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer any assignments, bills of sale, authorizations to file termination statements and any other releases and instruments as the Servicer may request and prepare at its expense in order to effect such release and transfer; provided that neither the Trust nor the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to make any representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to any such Equipment in connection with such transfer and assignment.  Nothing in this Section 5.22 shall diminish the Servicer’s obligations pursuant to Article VII with respect to the proceeds of any such transfer.

Section 5.23

Separate Entity Existence.  The Servicer is and at all times since its incorporation has been operated in such a manner that it would not be substantively consolidated with either the Depositor or the Trust and such that the separate existence of any of the Servicer, the Depositor or the Trust would not be disregarded in the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of the Servicer.

Section 5.24

Assignment of Servicing.  The Servicer may sell, transfer, assign or convey its rights as Servicer to any Eligible Servicer, upon written notice to the Trustees and the Rating Agencies, without the consent of the Securityholders or the Trustees, provided that the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied.  No such sale, transfer, assignment or conveyance shall become effective until such Eligible Servicer shall have assumed all of the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer under the Transaction Documents.

Section 5.25

Optional Repurchase of Defaulted Contracts.  The Servicer may, but shall have no obligation to, repurchase a Defaulted Contract, at any time, at a price equal to the Contract Principal Balance for such Defaulted Contract; provided that the aggregate amount of repurchases made under this section shall not exceed an amount equal to [__]% of the Initial Contract Pool Principal Balance.

the Servicer obtains a letter of credit, surety bond or insurance policy (the “Servicer Letter of Credit”) under which demands for payment may be made to secure timely remittance of monthly collections to the Collection Account and the Trustees are provided with a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that the utilization of such alternative remittance schedule and any amendment required to be made to this Agreement in connection therewith will not result in a qualification, reduction or withdrawal of its then current rating of the Notes,

(c)

Section 7.06

Repurchases of, or Substitution for, Contracts for Breach of Representations and Warranties.  Upon a discovery by the Servicer of an inaccuracy or breach of a representation or warranty set forth in the Schedule of Representations which has been made or deemed made with respect to a Contract in the Contract Pool, which inaccuracy or breach materially adversely affects the Trust’s or any Noteholder’s or the Equity Certificateholder’s interest in such Contract (without regard to the benefits of the Reserve Account, any reserve fund, over collateralization or other similar enhancement) or the collectibility thereof (an “Ineligible Contract”), the Servicer shall promptly notify [_________] thereof.  As provided in the Series 20[  ]-[__] Purchase Agreement and the Non-ACE Purchase Agreement and in accordance with this Section 7.06, [_________] is obligated to repurchase each such Ineligible Contract, at a repurchase price equal to the Purchase Amount (determined as of the date such repurchase is to be funded), not later than the second Deposit Date following the date the Servicer becomes aware of any such breach or inaccuracy and which breach or inaccuracy has not otherwise been cured; provided, however, that if [_________] is able to effect a substitution for any such Ineligible Contract in compliance with Section 2.03, [_________] may, in lieu of repurchasing such Ineligible Contract, effect a substitution for such Ineligible Contract with a Substitute Contract not later than the date a repurchase of such Ineligible Contract would be required hereunder; and provided further, that with respect to a breach or inaccuracy of any such representations or warranties relating to the Contract Pool (or all Contracts conveyed on the Closing Date or Substitution Transfer Date, as the case may be) in the aggregate and not to any particular Contract, [_________] (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) may select Contracts (without adverse selection) to repurchase (or substitute for) such that had such Contracts not been included as part of the related Transferred Assets (and, in the case of a substitution, had such Substitute Contract been included as part of the related Transferred Assets instead of the selected Ineligible Contract) there would have been no breach or inaccuracy of such representation or warranty.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the obligation of [_________] under the Purchase and Sale Agreements and described in this Section 7.06 shall not terminate or be deemed released by any party hereto upon a Servicing Transfer pursuant to Article VIII.  The right to enforce the repurchase or substitution obligation described in this Section shall constitute the sole remedy of the Trust, the Indenture Trustee, the Depositor, the Noteholders and the Equity Certificateholder with respect to the inaccuracy or breach related to such Ineligible Contract.  The Purchase Amount shall be allocated in accordance with the Allocation Criteria.

Section 7.07

Reassignment of Repurchased or Substituted Contracts.  Upon deposit into the Collection Account of the Purchase Amount with respect to an Ineligible Contract as described in Section 7.06 (or upon the Substitution Transfer Date related to a Substitute Contract described in Section 7.06), or of the repurchase price set forth in Section 7.08, the Indenture Trustee shall release and reassign to [_________] all of the Trust’s right and interest in the repurchased or substituted Contract and related Transferred Assets upon receipt of written instruction from the Servicer without recourse, representation or warranty, and such reassigned Contract shall no longer thereafter be included in any calculations of Contract Principal Balances required to be made hereunder or otherwise be deemed a part of the Trust Assets.

Section 7.08

The Servicer’s Purchase Option.  On written notice to the Indenture Trustee at least twenty (20) days prior to a Payment Date, and provided that the aggregate Principal Amount of Notes outstanding on such Payment Date is less than [__]% of the Initial Contract Pool Principal Balance, the Servicer may (but is not required to) repurchase from the Trust on that Payment Date all outstanding Contracts in the Contract Pool at a price equal to the sum of (a) the aggregate outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes plus accrued unpaid interest thereon as of such Payment Date, plus (b) the amount of unreimbursed Servicer Advances (if any) as well as accrued and unpaid monthly Servicing Fees to the date of such repurchase, plus (c) fees, expenses and indemnities owed to the Trustees, as applicable, minus (d) Collections and other Available Funds on deposit in the Collection Account and available to make such payments on such Payment Date (collectively the “Redemption Price”).  If the Servicer elects to purchase the outstanding Contracts, the then outstanding Notes shall be redeemed on the Payment Date on which the purchase by the Servicer occurs (the “Redemption Date”).

(a)

any failure by the Servicer to make any payment, transfer or deposit or to give instructions or notice to the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee to make any payment, transfer or deposit, or to deliver the Monthly Servicer’s Report pursuant to this Agreement, which failure continues unremedied for a period of five (5) Business Days after the first to occur of (i) written notice from the Owner Trustee (with a copy to the Indenture Trustee) or the Indenture Trustee (with a copy to the Owner Trustee) of such failure shall have been given to the Servicer, or (ii) the date the Servicer becomes aware thereof; or

(b)

failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform any other covenants or agreements of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement which has a material adverse effect on the Noteholders or the Equity Certificateholder, which continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the first to occur of (i) the date on which written notice of such failure requiring the same to be remedied shall have been given to the Servicer and the Owner Trustee by the Indenture Trustee or to the Servicer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee by the Noteholders or the Equity Certificateholder or the Indenture Trustee on behalf of such Noteholders of Notes aggregating not less than [__]% of the Principal Amount of any Class adversely affected thereby, and (ii) the date on which the Servicer becomes aware thereof, and such failure continues to materially adversely affect the Noteholders or the Equity Certificateholders for such period; or

(c)

any representation, warranty or certification made by the Servicer in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall prove to have been incorrect when made, which has a material adverse effect on the Noteholders or the Equity Certificateholder and which continues to be incorrect in any material respect for a period of thirty (30) days after the first to occur of (i) the date on which written notice of such incorrectness requiring the same to be remedied shall have been given to the Servicer and the Owner Trustee by the Indenture Trustee, or to the Servicer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee by Noteholders or the Equity Certificateholders or by the Indenture Trustee on behalf of Noteholders of Notes aggregating not less than [__]% of the Principal Amount of any Class adversely affected thereby, and (ii) the date on which the Servicer becomes aware thereof, and such incorrectness continues to materially adversely affect the Noteholders or the Equity Certificateholders for such period; or

Upon the occurrence of any such event the Servicer shall not be relieved 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 the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor prompt notice of such failure or delay by it, together with a description of its efforts to so perform its obligations.  The Servicer shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee in writing of any Servicer Default of which it is aware.

Section 8.02

Servicing Transfer.  (a) If a Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing, the Required Holders or the Indenture Trustee (subject to the right of the Indenture Trustee to indemnification pursuant to Section 6.02(g) or 6.07 of the Indenture) may and shall at the direction of the Required Holders, by written notice (a “Termination Notice”) delivered to the parties hereto, terminate all (but not less than all) of the Servicer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Trust Assets.

(b)

Upon delivery of the Termination Notice (or, if later, on a date designated therein), and on the date that a successor Servicer shall have been appointed pursuant to Section 8.03 (such appointment being herein called a “Servicing Transfer”), all rights, benefits, fees, indemnities, authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Contracts in the Contract Pool, the Contract Files or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in such successor (the “Successor Servicer”) pursuant to and under this Section 8.02; and, without limitation, the Successor Servicer is 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 any and all acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination.  The Servicer agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Successor Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be held by the Servicer for deposit, or have been deposited by the Servicer, in the Collection Account, or for its own account in connection with its services hereafter or thereafter received with respect to the Contracts in the Contract Pool.  The Servicer shall transfer to the Successor Servicer (i) all records held by the Servicer relating to such Contracts in such electronic form as the Successor Servicer may reasonably request and (ii) any related Contract Files in the Servicer’s possession.  In addition, the Servicer shall permit access to its premises and employees (including all computer records and programs) to the Successor Servicer or its designee, and shall pay the reasonable transition expenses of the Successor Servicer.  Upon a Servicing Transfer, the Successor Servicer shall thereafter also be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee for performing the obligations of the Servicer.

Section 8.03

Appointment of Successor Servicer; Reconveyance; Successor Servicer to Act.  Upon delivery of the Termination Notice (or, if later, on a date designated therein), the Servicer shall continue to perform all servicing functions under this Agreement until the date specified in the Termination Notice or, if no such date is specified, until a date mutually agreed by the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee.  The Indenture Trustee shall as promptly as possible after the giving of or receipt of a Termination Notice, appoint a Successor Servicer, and such Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption and by delivery of an opinion of counsel (which shall not be at the expense of the Indenture Trustee) to the Successor Servicer relating to corporate matters and enforceability, in each case in a form acceptable to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee.  Any Successor Servicer shall be a financial institution having a net worth of at least $[__] and whose regular business includes the servicing of contracts similar to the Contracts in the Contract Pool.

In the event that a Successor Servicer has not been appointed and has not accepted its appointment within 60 days of the delivery of a Termination Notice, then the Indenture Trustee shall offer the Depositor, and the Depositor shall offer [_________], the right to accept retransfer of all the Trust Assets, and such party may accept retransfer of such Trust Assets in consideration of the Depositor’s delivery to the Collection Account on or prior to the next upcoming Payment Date of a sum equal to the Aggregate Principal Amount of all Notes then outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through such date of deposit; provided, that the Indenture Trustee, if so directed by the Required Holders, need not accept and effect such reconveyance in the absence of evidence (which may include valuations of an investment bank or similar entity, which shall not be at the expense of the Indenture Trustee) reasonably acceptable to such Indenture Trustee or Required Holders that such retransfer would not constitute a fraudulent conveyance of the Depositor or [_________]; provided, further, [_________] may not accept such retransfer unless it shall have delivered to each Rating Agency, with a copy to the Indenture Trustee, an Opinion of Counsel (which shall not be an employee of the Trust) that such retransfer would not constitute a fraudulent conveyance of the Depositor or [_________] or that such retransfer would not constitute a preferential payment by the Depositor or [_________].

In the event that a Successor Servicer has not been appointed and has not accepted its appointment at the time when the then Servicer has ceased to act as Servicer, the Indenture Trustee without further action shall automatically be appointed the Successor Servicer.  The Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee while assuming such duties and shall be entitled to all rights and benefits of the Servicer (or Successor Servicer) including the indemnity rights under Section 8.07 hereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indenture Trustee is legally unable or prohibited from so acting or is unwilling to so act, it shall petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established financial institution having a net worth of at least $[__] and whose regular business includes the servicing of contracts similar to the Contracts in the Contract Pool as the Successor Servicer hereunder.  On or after a Servicing Transfer, 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 in this Agreement, and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, and the terminated Servicer shall be relieved of such responsibilities, duties and liabilities arising after such Servicing Transfer; provided, however, that the Successor Servicer shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of the departing Servicer occurring prior to such Servicing Transfer or for any breach by the departing Servicer of any of its representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any related Transaction Document or other agreement.  As compensation therefor, the Successor Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee from and after the Servicing Transfer.  The Trust, the Noteholders and the Equity Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.  To the extent the terminated Servicer has made Servicer Advances, it shall be entitled to reimbursement of the same (and any unpaid Servicing Fees accrued prior to the Servicing Transfer) notwithstanding its termination hereunder, to the same extent as if it had continued to service the Trust Assets hereunder.  In addition, it is understood and agreed that if an Event of Default has occurred and a Servicer Transfer is being effected by action of the Indenture Trustee hereunder, any documented expenses reasonably incurred by the Indenture Trustee in connection with effecting such Servicer Transfer shall be deemed expenses reimbursable from Available Funds.

Section 8.04

Notifications to Noteholders and the Equity Certificateholders.  (a) Promptly following the occurrence of any Servicer Default of which it is aware, the Servicer shall give written notice thereof to the Trustees, the Depositor and each Rating Agency at the addresses described in Section 11.03 and to the Noteholders and Equity Certificateholder at their respective addresses appearing on the Note Register and the Certificate Register, respectively.

(b)

Within ten (10) days following any termination or appointment of a Successor Servicer pursuant to this Article VIII, the Indenture Trustee shall give written notice thereof to each Rating Agency and the Depositor at the addresses described in Section 11.03, and to the Noteholders, at their respective addresses appearing on the Note Register, and to the Owner Trustee.

Section 8.05

Effect of Transfer.  (a) Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, after a Servicing Transfer, the terminated Servicer shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, with respect to the management, administration, servicing, custody or collection of the Trust Assets, and the Successor Servicer appointed pursuant to Section 8.03 shall have all of such obligations, except that the terminated Servicer will transmit or cause to be transmitted directly to the Successor Servicer for its own account, promptly on receipt and in the same form in which received, any amounts or items (properly endorsed where required for the Successor Servicer to collect them) received as payments upon or otherwise in connection with the Contracts in the Contract Pool.

(b)

A Servicing Transfer shall not affect the rights and duties of the parties to this Agreement (including but not limited to the indemnities of the departing Servicer) other than those relating to the management, administration, servicing, custody or collection of the Contracts in the Contract Pool and related Transferred Assets.

Section 8.06

Database File.  The Servicer will provide the Successor Servicer with a magnetic tape containing the database file for each Contract in the Contract Pool on and as of the Business Day before the actual commencement of servicing functions by the Successor Servicer following the occurrence of a Servicer Default.

Section 8.07

Successor Servicer Indemnification.  The departing Servicer shall defend, indemnify and hold the Successor Servicer and any officers, directors, employees or agents of the Successor Servicer harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, fees, and expenses that the Successor Servicer may sustain in connection with the claims asserted at any time by third parties against the Successor Servicer which result from (i) any willful or grossly negligent act taken or omission by the departing Servicer or (ii) a breach of any representations of the departing Servicer in Section 3.02.  The indemnification provided by this Section 8.07 shall survive (a) a Servicing Transfer and/or (b) the termination of this Agreement.

Section 8.08

Responsibilities of the Successor Servicer.  The Successor Servicer will not be responsible for delays attributable to the departing Servicer’s failure to deliver information, defects in the information supplied by the departing Servicer or other circumstances beyond the control of the Successor Servicer.

Exhibit E

Schedule of Representations and Warranties

(a)

List of Contracts.  The information set forth in the Schedule of Contracts (as the same may be amended or deemed amended in respect of a conveyance of Substitute Contracts on a Substitution Transfer Date) is true, complete and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date (or Substitution Transfer Date, as applicable).

(b)

Eligible Contract.  As of its applicable Cut-Off Date, each Contract satisfied the criteria for the definition of Eligible Contract set forth in this Agreement, and each Secondary Contract securing a Vendor Loan constituting a Contract satisfied, as of its applicable Cut-Off Date, the definition of Eligible Secondary Contract set forth in this Agreement.

(c)

Contract Files.  As of the Closing Date (or as of the Substitution Transfer Date, with respect to Substitute Contracts), (i) immediately prior to such date, [_________] (or the applicable Financing Originator as custodian for [_________]) had possession of each original Contract and the related complete Contract File, and there were no other custodial agreements relating to the same in effect (other than offsite storage arrangements described in Section 4.01(b)); (ii) each of such documents which is required to be signed by the Obligor has been signed by the Obligor in the appropriate spaces; and (iii) to the Depositor’s knowledge, the complete Contract File for each Contract is in the possession of the Servicer.  If the Contract is “tangible chattel paper” as defined in the UCC, the End-User Contract that constitutes or evidences the Contract does not have any marks or notations indicating that it has been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any other Person besides [_________] (prior to its conveyance to the Depositor under the Non-ACE Purchase Agreement), the ACE Trust (prior to its conveyance to the Depositor under the ACE Assignment) and the Depositor.

(d)

No Material Obligation.  No Financing Originator has a material performance obligation in respect of any Contract in favor of an Obligor or End-User (it being understood that covenants of quiet enjoyment, purchase options, obligations to accept return of the property at end of lease term, and like obligations of a lessor typical of a “triple net” lease, shall not be deemed “material performance obligations” for purposes of this representation).

(e)

Vendor Agreements.  The Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of [_________] 20 [  ], by and between [_________] and [_________].  

(f)

Intent to Transfer.  [_________] is selling the Contracts, and on each Substitution Transfer Date is conveying the Substitute Contracts, to the Depositor with the intention of removing the Contracts, or the Substitute Contracts as the case may be, from the estate of [_________] pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

Exhibit F

Minimum Value Filing Exceptions

No financing statements are filed against an Obligor located in a particular State describing Equipment which is the subject of a particular Contract of any Financing Originator, unless the fair market value of the Equipment (determined in accordance with its Customary Policies and Procedures) related to such particular Contract is at least $25,000.
