                       AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE PURCHASES

                 SECTION  2.01. Purchase  Facility.  (a)  On  the  terms  and
conditions hereinafter set forth, Financial and Funding hereby exchange, without
recourse,  the Medallion  Loans and Related Assets for the Commercial  Loans and
Related Assets,  so that Funding acquires the Medallion Loans and Related Assets
and Financial acquires the Commercial Loans and Related Assets.

                 (b) It is the  intention of the parties  hereto that the
exchange of the Medallion  Loans and Related Assets for the Commercial  Loans
and Related Assets made hereunder shall in each case constitute a sale of such
assets, which sale is absolute and irrevocable and provides  Funding with the
full benefits of ownership of the Medallion  Loans and the Related  Assets and
Financial with the full benefits of ownership of the Commercial Loans and
Related Assets.

                (c) On the Closing Date  Medallion  shall  transfer all
Medallion Loans and Related  Assets to Funding by executing  and  delivering to
Funding a fully executed Transfer  Agreement in the form included herein as
Exhibit A and endorsing in favor of Funding or its order each Obligor Note
evidences a Medallion Loan.

<PAGE>

                (d) On the Closing Date Funding shall transfer all Commercial
Loans and Related Assets to Financial by executing and delivering to Financial
a fully executed Transfer Agreement in the form included herein as Exhibit B and
endorsing in favor of Funding or its order each Obligor Note evidencing a
Commercial Loan.

                (e) Neither Financial nor Funding intends the transactions
contemplated hereunder to be, or for any purpose to be characterized as, loans
from Funding to Financial, or vice versa, secured by the assets conveyed from
one party to the other. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent
of the parties, either or both parties shall be deemed to be a lender (the
"Lender") to the other party (the "Borrower"), then this Agreement shall be
deemed to be a security agreement, the conveyances provided for in Section
2.01(a) shall be deemed to be a grant by the Borrower to the Lender of a
security interest in all of the Borrower's right, title, and interest, whether
now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the Medallion Loans and the Related
Assets or the Commercial Loans and Related Assets, as the case may be, and all
cash and non-cash proceeds of any of the foregoing. The possession by the Lender
or its transferee of Obligor Notes, other Loan Documents, and such other goods,
letters of credit, advices of credit, instruments, money, documents, chattel
paper or certificated securities shall be deemed to be "possession by the
secured party," for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the
UCC (including, without limitation, Section 9-305 thereof) as in force in the
relevant jurisdiction. Notifications to persons holding such property, and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property,
shall be deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or
confirmations from bailees or agents (as applicable) or the Borrower or its
transferee for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable
law.

                (f) In view of the intention of the parties hereto that the
Purchases of Medallion Loans and Related Assets made hereunder shall constitute
sales of such Medallion Loans and Related Assets rather than a loan secured by
such Medallion Loans and Related Assets, Financial agrees to note on its
financial statements that the Medallion Loans and Related Assets have been sold
to Funding. In view of the intention of the parties hereto that the Purchases of
Commercial Loans and Related Assets made hereunder shall constitute sales of
such Commercial Loans and Related Assets rather than a loan secured by such
Commercial Loans and Related Assets, Funding agrees to note on its financial
statements that the Commercial Loans and Related Assets have been sold to
Financial.

                (g)  The sale of any Medallion Loans hereto shall be sold, and
purchased, "servicer release."

                SECTION 2.02. Capital Contribution and Supplemental Purchase
Price. If the fair market value of the Medallion Loans and Related Assets sold
by Financial to Funding hereunder exceeds the fair market value of the
Commercial Loans and Related Assets received by Financial from Funding, the
amount of such excess shall be either deemed to be a contribution by Financial
to the capital of Funding or Financial shall pay such difference to Funding on
the Closing Date as a Supplemental Purchase Price (as defined in the related
Transfer Agreement). Funding and Financial hereby agree to note any such Capital
Contribution on the respective financial statements.

<PAGE>

                SECTION 2.03. No Obligations or Taxes. Financial represents and
warrants that at the time of transfer hereunder (i) there will be no obligations
of Financial under the Medallion Loans remaining to be performed (and the
exercise by Funding of any of its rights thereunder or hereunder shall not
relieve Financial of such obligations if they do exist) and (ii) there will not
be payable any taxes, including without limitation, sales, excise and personal
property taxes in connection with the Medallion Loans. Funding represents and
warrants that at the time of transfer hereunder (i) there will be no obligations
of Funding under the Commercial Loans remaining to be performed (and the
exercise by Financial of any of its rights thereunder or hereunder shall not
relieve Funding of such obligations if they do exist) and (ii) there will not be
payable any taxes, including without limitation, sales, excise and personal
property taxes in connection with the Commercial Loans.

                SECTION 2.04. Collections. Any Collections of Medallion Loans
received (or deemed to have been received) by Financial after the date of sale
hereunder shall not be commingled with other funds of Financial and shall be
remitted directly to Funding or upon its order. Any Collections of Commercial
Loans received (or deemed to have been received) by Funding after the date of
sale hereunder shall never be commingled with other funds of Funding and shall
be remitted directly to Financial or upon its order.

                               ARTICLE III.

                       REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

                SECTION 3.01. Representations and Warranties of Financial and

is in good  standing  as a foreign  corporation,  and has  obtained  all

qualify or to obtain such licenses and approvals  could have a material  adverse
effect on its ability to perform its obligations under the Operative Documents.

                (c) Due Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance
of this Agreement and the other Operative  Documents by it and the  consummation
by it of the transactions  provided for in the Operative Documents,  have been
duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on its part.

                (d) No Conflict.  Its execution and delivery of the Operative
Documents, performance of the transactions contemplated by the Operative
Documents, and fulfillment of the terms thereof applicable to it, do not
conflict with or violate any Requirements of Law  applicable to it or conflict

<PAGE>

with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute
(with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, or require
any consent under, any indenture, contract, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust
or other  instrument to which it is a party or by which it or its properties are
bound.

                (e) No Proceedings.  There are no proceedings or investigations
pending or, to the best of its  knowledge threatened  against it before  any
Governmental Authority (i) asserting the illegality, invalidity or
unenforceability, or seeking any determination or ruling that would affect the
legality, binding effect, validity or enforceability, of any of the Operative
Documents,  (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions
contemplated by any of the Operative Documents or (iii)  seeking any
determination or ruling that is reasonably likely to materially  and adversely
affect its financial condition or operations or the performance  by it of its
obligations under any of the Operative Documents.

                (f) Consents.  No authorization, consent, license,  order  or
approval of or registration or declaration  with any  Governmental  Authority is
required to be  obtained, effected  or  given  by it in connection  with  the
execution and  delivery  of  any of the Operative  Documents  by it  or  its
performance of its obligations under any of the Operative Documents or the other
transactions contemplated  thereby  except for (i) the filing of the  financing
statements or other documents  required to have been filed are in full force and
effect.

                (g)  Enforceability.  This Agreement and the other Operative
Documents to which it is a party constitute the legal, valid and binding
obligations of it enforceable against it in accordance with their  respective
terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium  and  similar  laws, now or hereafter in effect, affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally and except as such enforceability may
be limited by general provisions of equity.  This Agreement is in full force and

the Medallion Loans and Related Assets that are sold to Funding hereunder, and
neither any such transfer nor any transfer of Medallion Loans and Related Assets
that is a capital contribution to Funding shall have been made for or on account
of an antecedent debt owed by Financial to Funding or shall be voidable or

therein (and in the proceeds  thereof), or the grant of a first priority
perfected  "security interest"  (within the meaning of the UCC of the
jurisdiction  the law of which governs the perfection of the interest in such
Commercial  Loan  created hereunder) therein (and in the proceeds thereof).
No effective financing statement or other instrument similar in effect that
covers all or part of any Commercial Loan or any interest in any part thereof
is on file in any recording office except (i) such as may be filed in favor of
Financial in accordance with this  Agreement, and (ii) filings in respect of

do not currently exist for the benefit of Financial or any of its creditors any
lock-box accounts for the receipt of payments from Obligors in respect of

                (m)  Solvency. Both before and after giving effect to any of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement: (i) the fair value and present fair
saleable value of Financial's assets exceeds the stated value of Financial's
liabilities (including  all contingent liabilities), (ii) the present fair

<PAGE>

saleable value of Financial's assets will exceed the probable liability on its
debts,  including contingent liabilities, as such debts become  absolute and
matured,  (iii) Financial will not have an unreasonably  small amount of capital
for the operation of the business in which it is engaged and is proposed to be

                                  ARTICLE III

                   ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES

     Section 3.01 Duties of Servicer. The Servicer, for the benefit of the
Borrower and the Lender, shall manage, service, administer and make collections
on the Medallion Loans and enforce the Borrower's rights with respect to the
collateral thereunder and any guarantees thereof in accordance with all
applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations and with the degree of
skill, care and diligence of prudent lenders in the industry for the servicing
of comparable assets, but in no event, with less skill, care and diligence than
the Servicer or any of its Affiliates exercises with respect to all comparable
assets that it services for itself or others (such standards, the "Accepted
Servicing Practices"). The Servicer's duties shall include collection and
posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors on Medallion Loans,
investigating delinquencies, sending invoices to Obligors, as appropriate,
reporting tax information, if any, to Obligors, preparing and delivering
Medallion Loan Files to the Custodian, accounting for Collections and furnishing
statements and reports to the Lender in accordance with this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents. Except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to this
Agreement, the Servicer shall follow the Accepted Servicing Practices in
performing its duties as Servicer. To the extent consistent with the Accepted
Servicing Practices and the following sentence, the Servicer shall have full
power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with
management, servicing, administration and collection that it may deem necessary
or desirable, including, without limitation, executing and delivering on behalf
of itself and the Borrower, any and all instruments of satisfaction or
cancellation, or partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable
instruments, with respect to such Medallion Loans or any Medallion securing such
Medallion Loans. The Servicer is authorized to release Liens on Medallions
granted pursuant to the Medallion Loan, (i) if the debt secured thereby has been
fully paid and the proceeds of the repayment of such debt are deposited in the
Collection Account in accordance with Section 4.01 hereof, and/or (ii) to
liquidate such Medallions in accordance with its customary standards, policies
and procedures, Accepted Servicing Practices and the Credit and Collection
Policy. If the Servicer shall commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Medallion
Loan, the Borrower shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned,
solely for the purpose of collection, such Medallion Loan to the Servicer. If in
any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it shall be held that the Servicer may
not enforce a

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

Medallion Loan on the ground that it shall not be a real party in interest or a
holder entitled to enforce such Medallion Loan, the Borrower shall, at the
Servicer's expense and direction, take steps to enforce such Medallion Loan,
including bringing suit in the name of the Borrower. The Borrower shall, upon
the written request of the Servicer, furnish the Servicer with any powers of
attorney and other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the
Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder.

     Section 3.02 Collection and Allocation of Medallion Loan Payments
Modifications of Medallion Loans. (a) Consistent with the standards, policies
and procedures required by this Agreement, the Servicer shall make reasonable
efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the
Medallion Loans as and when the same shall become due, and shall follow such
collection procedures as it follows with respect to comparable medallion loans
that it or any of its Affiliates services for itself or others and otherwise act
with respect to the Medallion Loans, the insurance policies and the other
Collateral in such manner as will, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer,
maximize the amount to be received by the Lender with respect thereto. The
Servicer is authorized in its discretion to waive any prepayment charge, late
payment charge or any other similar fees that may be collected in the ordinary
course of servicing any Medallion Loan. The Servicer shall allocate Collections
relating to principal and interest in accordance with the terms of the related
Medallion Loans. Late prepayment fees, default interest, modification fees and
any prepayment penalties on the Medallion Loans shall be retained for the
account of the Borrower.

     (b) The Medallion Loan and other Medallion Loan Documents have not been and
shall not be extended, waived, amended or modified except in accordance with the
Servicer's written Underwriting Guidelines and the Credit and Collection Policy.

     Section 3.03 Realization upon Medallion Loans. (a) The Servicer shall
enforce compliance with the terms of the Medallion Loans in a manner consistent
with the Accepted Servicing Practices. The Servicer shall include in any
Servicing Report on any Report Date any default under a Medallion Loan (a
"Medallion Loan Default"), which such Servicer Report shall include actions the
Servicer proposes to take with respect to such Medallion Loan Default,
including, without limitation, (1) initiation or continuation of negotiations
with the Obligor, (2) acceleration of such Medallion Loan, (3) repossession of
the Medallion related to Medallion Loan, (4) initiation of litigation or
collection proceedings, and (5) such other action as the Servicer may deem
appropriate in conformity with the Accepted Servicing Practices.

     (b) Consistent with the standards, policies and procedures required by this
Agreement and the Credit and Collection Policy, the Servicer shall use its best
efforts to repossess (or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of) and
liquidate, if necessary, any Medallion securing a Medallion Loan with respect to
which the Servicer has determined that payments thereunder are not likely to be
resumed, as soon as practicable after default on such Medallion Loan but in no
event later than the date on which any regularly scheduled payment has become
more than 360 days delinquent; provided, however, that the Servicer may elect
not to repossess a Medallion within such time period if no Servicer Default has
occurred and in its good faith judgment it determines that the proceeds
ultimately recoverable with respect to such Medallion Loan (after giving effect
to expenses associated with such repossession and reimbursement to the Servicer
hereunder) would be increased by forbearance; and provided,

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

further, that the Servicer shall not be required to repossess a Medallion if
prohibited by law. The Servicer is authorized to follow such customary practices
and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable, consistent with the
Accepted Servicing Practices, which practices and procedures may include the
sale of the related Medallion at a public or private sale, and other actions by
the Servicer in order to realize upon a Medallion Loan.

     Section 3.04 Maintenance of Security Interests. (a) The Servicer shall take
such steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the first priority
security interest created by the Loan Documents. The Servicer agrees to mark its
master computer databases and computer files (by way of the creation of a
special "field" or otherwise), in a manner acceptable to the Lender, to evidence
the interests granted to the Lender under the Servicing Agreement, the Loan
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. At any time and from time to time, the
Servicer shall, or shall cause the Borrower to, and the Borrower will promptly
and duly execute and deliver, or will promptly cause to be executed and
delivered, such further instruments and documents and take such further actions
as are necessary (or as are reasonably requested by the Lender) for the purpose
of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of the Lender under the Loan
Agreement and of its rights and powers therein granted, including, without
limitation, the filing of any financing or continuation statements under the
Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the Liens
created by the Loan Agreement or the taking of any other action necessary to
preserve the status of the Lender's Liens on the Collateral as first priority
perfected Liens. A photographic or other reproduction of the Loan Agreement
shall be sufficient as a financing statement for filing in any jurisdiction.

     (b) Consistent with the policies and procedures required by this Agreement,
the Servicer shall take such steps on behalf of the Borrower and the Lender as
are necessary to maintain perfection of the first priority security interest
created by each Medallion Loan in the related Medallion, including the
recording, registering, filing, re-recording, re-filing and re-registering of
all security agreements, financing statements and continuation statements as are
necessary to maintain the security interest under the respective Medallion
Loans. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Servicer, and the Servicer agrees, to
take any and all steps necessary to re-perfect such security interest in the
name of Borrower as necessary because of any reason.

     Section 3.05 Servicing Fee; Backup Servicing Fee. (a) The Borrower shall
pay to the Servicer (the "Servicing Fee"), as compensation for its activities
hereunder, on each Regular Payment Date, an amount equal to the product of (i)
the Servicing Fee Rate multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which
shall be the number of calendar days since the immediately prior Regular Payment
Date, and the denominator of which shall be 360, multiplied by (iii) the Net
Principal Balance of the Medallion Loans serviced by the Servicer.

     (b) The accrued and unpaid Servicing Fee shall be paid to the Servicer out
of Collections as set forth in Section 4.01 hereto.

     (c) The accrued and unpaid Backup Servicing Fee, if any, shall be paid to
the Backup Servicer out of Collections as set forth in Section 4.01 hereto.

     Section 3.06 Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding
Medallion Loans. The Servicer shall provide to federal, state and local
regulatory agencies, and

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

their respective examiners, access to the documentation regarding the Medallion
Loans required by applicable regulations of such agencies. Such access shall be
afforded without charge upon reasonable prior notice and during normal business
hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it. Nothing in this Section
shall derogate from the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law
prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors and the failure of
the Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section as a result of such
obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section.

     Section 3.07 Servicer Expenses. The Servicer shall be required to pay all
expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder, including
fees and disbursements of independent accountants, taxes imposed on the Servicer
and expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports to the
Lender, and shall be reimbursed for such expenses solely to the extent expressly
provided herein.

     Section 3.08 Appointment of Subservicer. The Servicer may at any time
appoint a subservicer to perform all or any portion of its obligations as
Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that (i) the Lender shall have approved
such appointment in writing; (ii) the Servicer shall remain obligated and be
liable to the Borrower and the Lender for the servicing and administering of the
Medallion Loans in accordance with the provisions hereof without diminution of
such obligation and liability by virtue of the appointment of such subservicer
and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the
Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Medallion Loans; and (iii)
the agreement with the subservicer provides that it may be terminated by any
successor servicer (including the Backup Servicer) if the Servicer that had
entered into such subservicing agreement is terminated as Servicer hereunder.
The fees and expenses of the subservicer shall be as agreed between the Servicer
and its subservicer from time to time and neither of the Borrower nor the Lender
shall have any responsibility therefor.

     Section 3.09 Delegation of Duties. The Servicer may at any time perform
through sub-contractors the specific duties of (i) repossession of Medallions,
and (ii) pursuing the collection of deficiency balances on defaulted Medallion
Loans, in each case without the consent of the Borrower or the Lender. The
Servicer may also perform other specific duties through such sub-contractors in
accordance with its customary servicing policies and procedures without the
prior consent of the Borrower or the Lender. No such delegation or
sub-contracting of duties by the Servicer shall relieve the Servicer of its
responsibility with respect to such duties. Any sub-contractor engaged by the
Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall (i) have all licenses and permits
necessary to perform such specific duties, (ii) be a Person experienced in the
performance of such specific duties, and (iii) not have been subject to any
litigation, civil or criminal penalty, or other similar action, except to the
extent reasonable and ordinary for a Person engaging in activities similar to
such specific duties.

     Section 3.10 Insurance. The Servicer may sue to enforce or collect upon the
insurance policies in its own name or as agent of the Borrower. If the Servicer
elects to commence a legal proceeding to enforce an insurance policy, the act of
commencement shall be deemed to be an automatic assignment of the rights of the
Lender and the Borrower under such insurance policy to the Servicer for purposes
of collection only. If, however, in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it
is held that the Servicer may not enforce an insurance policy on the

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

grounds that it is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce
the insurance policy, the Lender or the Borrower, at the Servicer's expense,
shall take such steps as the Servicer deems reasonably necessary to enforce such
insurance policy, including bringing suit in its name, in the name of the
Borrower or, with the Lender's prior written consent which may be given or
withheld in its sole discretion, in the name of the Lender. Any amounts
collected by the Servicer under an insurance policy shall be deposited in the
Collection Account upon receipt. Any cost incurred by the Servicer in
maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating the
outstanding balance of any Medallion Loan under the Loan Agreement or any other
Loan Document, be added to the Net Principal Balance of the related Medallion
Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Medallion Loan so permit.

     Section 3.11 Enforcement of Prohibition on Transfer of Medallion. The
Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any sale or Lien, or
prospective sale or Lien, by any Obligor of the related Medallion (whether by
sale or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Obligor remains or is to
remain liable under the Medallion Loan), exercise or cause to be exercised any
rights to accelerate the maturity of such Medallion Loan under the terms
thereof.

     Section 3.12 Conservation and Disposition of Medallion. In the event that
any Medallion is repossessed by the Servicer, the Servicer shall conserve and
protect each such Medallion for the Lender solely for the purpose of its prompt
disposition and sale. The disposition of any such Medallion shall be carried out
by the Servicer at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Servicer
shall determine in accordance with the Accepted Servicing Practices and with a
view to maximizing the net present value recovery from such disposition. The
Servicer shall deposit the proceeds any such disposition into the Collection
Account no later than 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day following receipt thereof
by the Servicer. Pending such deposit, such funds shall be held in trust by the
Servicer for the benefit of the Lender.

     Section 3.13 Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, (a) all proceeds of Collateral received by the Servicer consisting
of cash, checks and other cash equivalents shall be held by the Servicer in
trust for the Lender, segregated from other funds of the Servicer, and shall
forthwith upon receipt by the Servicer be turned over to the Lender in the exact
form received by the Servicer (duly endorsed by the Servicer to the Lender, if
required) and (b) any and all such proceeds received by the Lender (whether from
the Servicer or otherwise) may, in the sole discretion of the Lender, be held by
the Lender as collateral security for, and/or then or at any time thereafter may
be applied by the Lender against, the Secured Obligations (whether matured or
unmatured), such application to be in such order as the Lender shall elect. Any
balance of such proceeds remaining after the Secured Obligations shall have been
paid in full and the Loan Agreement shall have been terminated shall be paid
over to the Servicer or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the
same. For purposes hereof, proceeds shall include, but not be limited to, all
principal and interest payments, all prepayments and payoffs, insurance claims,
recoveries against Obligors, sale and foreclosure proceeds, and any other income
and all other amounts received with respect to the Collateral.

     Section 3.14 "Warm" Backup Servicer. In the event an Acceptable Refinancing
does not occur within 150 days after the Effective Date and there exists
$20,000,000 or more in the aggregate outstanding under the Medallion Credit
Facilities or $12,000,000 or more

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

outstanding under either Medallion Credit Facility (a "Warm Backup Servicer
Event"), the Servicer will use its best efforts to assist the Backup Servicer,
as promptly as practicable thereafter, and in any event no later than 30 days
after the occurrence of the Warm Backup Servicer Event, to become a "warm"
backup servicer (i.e., the Backup Servicer shall have completed a thorough
review of Medallion Funding's servicing of Medallion Loans and shall have been
provided sufficient information and access to computer programs to permit a
prompt and orderly transition of servicing if the Backup Servicer is instructed
to become the Servicer upon the occurrence of a Servicer Default), and, in
accordance with the Loan Agreement, if the Backup Servicer shall not have become
a "warm" backup servicer within such 30-day period, as determined by the Lender
in its reasonable discretion, the interest rate payable on the Advances shall be
increased by 0.25% per annum until such time as the Lender shall determine, in
its reasonable discretion, that the Backup Servicer shall have become a "warm"
backup servicer. Following the occurrence of a Warm Backup Servicer Event, the
Servicer shall fully cooperate with the Backup Servicer's review and due
diligence of the Servicer's servicing procedures in connection with the
Medallion Loans, including the Backup Servicer's ongoing monitoring of
servicing. The fees and expenses of the Backup Servicer shall be for the account
of the Borrower.

              COLLECTION ACCOUNT; REPORTS; RAPID AMORTIZATION EVENT

     Section 4.01 Collection Account.
                  ------------------

     (a) (i) The Servicer shall instruct all Obligors to remit payments in
respect of the Medallion Loans to the Servicer for deposit to the Collection
Account. The Servicer shall deposit to the Collection Account, no later than
11:00 a.m. on the Business Day following receipt thereof by the Servicer, all
Collections received by the Servicer. Pending such deposit, such funds shall be
held in trust by the Servicer for the benefit of the Lender.

          (ii) Funds on deposit in the Collection Account on any day shall be
     held therein in trust for the benefit of the Lender.

     (b) Funds deposited in the Collection Account in any week (a "Reference
Week") shall be applied as follows. If the Servicer shall have provided the
Lender with a reconciliation reasonably acceptable to the Lender (a
"Reconciliation") by 2:00 p.m., New York time, of the first Business Day of the
week following the Reference Week (the "Reference Time") showing what portion of
the collections deposited to the Collection Account during the Reference Week
are repayments of principal and what portion are payments of interest, then, on
such first Business Day, the Lender shall apply an amount equal to the principal
collections to repayment of the outstanding principal balance of the Advances on
such day and shall transfer an amount equal to the interest collections to an
interest sub-account of the Collection Account. If no Reconciliation is provided
for a Reference Week by the Reference Time on such first succeeding Business
Day, all collections deposited to the Collection Account during such Reference
Week shall be applied to repayment of all accrued but unpaid interest and then
the outstanding principal balance of the Advances on such first succeeding
Business Day.

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

     (c) Funds deposited in the Collection Account shall be held therein in
trust for the Lender. Subject to paragraph (b) above and the terms of the
Collection Account Control Agreement, on each Regular Payment Date the
Collection Account Bank shall (based on the Servicing Report delivered by the
Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02(a) hereunder for such Regular Payment Date)
withdraw any funds on deposit (including funds representing earnings of
investments made from funds in the Collection Account) in the Collection Account
and apply such funds as follows:

               first, (i) to the Servicer for payment of the Servicing Fee then
          due, and (ii) to the Backup Servicer for payment of the Backup
          Servicing Fee, if any, then due;

               second, to the Custodian for payment of the Custodial Fee then
          due;

               third, to the payment of interest on the Advances then accrued
          and unpaid as of such Payment Date;

               fourth, to the payment of other Secured Obligations (other than
          payments in respect of principal on the Advances) then due;

               fifth, to the payment of any principal of the Advances then due
          (whether pursuant to Sections 2.05 or 2.07 of the Loan Agreement, by
          acceleration or otherwise);

               sixth, to the Borrower any amounts remaining on deposit in the
          sub-account of the Collection Account.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default or Rapid Amortization
Event has occurred, funds in the Collection Account shall be withdrawn and
applied to the Secured Obligations, Servicing Fee, Custodial Fee and Backup
Servicing Fee, if applicable, at such times, and in such order of application,
as the Lender shall select in its sole discretion; provided that the Lender
agrees to permit payments required under clauses first and second above on each
Payment Date. Any funds remaining in the Collection Account on any Payment Date
following the application set forth above shall be remitted to the Borrower;
provided that such funds shall not be remitted to the Borrower pursuant to
priority sixth above or otherwise if a Default or Rapid Amortization Event is
continuing or if, after the release of such funds, or Borrowing Base Deficiency
would exist and shall instead be applied to the payment of principal on the
Advances or as the Lender shall otherwise direct.

     The allocations to be made under this Section shall be described in the
related Servicing Report delivered pursuant to Section 4.02(a).

     Section 4.02 Reports.
                  -------

     (a) The Servicer shall deliver to the Lender and the Custodian on each
Report Date a servicing report (the "Servicing Report") with respect to the
Monthly Collection Period, in a computer-readable format acceptable to the
Lender, listing and setting forth such information in respect of, all Medallion
Loans as the Lender may request, including, without limitation, the outstanding
principal balance and interest accrued, any prepayments in whole or

                                      -12-
<PAGE>

in part, and delinquency status of each Medallion Loan, substantially in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit 4.02(a). The Servicer shall deliver to the
Lender a hard copy of any such report upon request of the Lender.

     (b) Upon discovery by the Servicer of any Medallion Loan ceasing to be an
Eligible Medallion Loan, if a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists or will result
therefrom, the Servicer shall (or shall cause the Borrower to) deliver an
Eligibility Violation Notice to the Lender, substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit 4.02(b), no later than 12:00 (noon) New York time on the
Business Day immediately succeeding such discovery.

     (c) The Servicer shall deliver to the Lender and/or permit the Lender to
inspect any property, books, valuations, records, audits or other information as
the Lender may reasonably request upon reasonable prior notice.

     Section 4.03 Rapid Amortization Event. If a Rapid Amortization Event occurs
and is continuing, the Servicer shall so notify the Lender immediately following
the discovery of such Rapid Amortization Event. From and after the occurrence of
a Rapid Amortization Event, the Lender may, by notice to the Borrower and the
Servicer, direct that all Collections not applied to interest be applied to
repayment of principal of the Advances until, after giving effect to such
repayments and any change in the Weighted Average Loan-to-Value Ratio, the
Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio is 72% or lower.

     (b) The Servicer agrees to hold the Lender, the Backup Servicer, the

"Indemnified Party") harmless from and indemnify each Indemnified Party against
all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind
(including but not limited to attorneys' fees and expenses) (collectively,
"Damages") which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such
Indemnified Party in any suit, action, claim or proceeding relating to or
arising out of or based on any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant
or other term of this Agreement by the Servicer or any subservicer, the failure
of the Servicer or any subservicer to meet the Accepted Servicing Practices in
connection with any action (or failure to act) hereunder or under any other Loan
Documents, in its capacity as the Servicer, or any negligence or willful
misconduct of the Servicer or any subservicer in connection with the performance
of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, in its
capacity as the Servicer, except, in each case, to the extent arising from such
Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting or
being limited by the foregoing, the Servicer shall pay on demand to each
Indemnified Party any and all amounts necessary to indemnify such Indemnified
Party from and against any and all Damages resulting from any of the following:

               (i) the failure of Servicer to correctly report Eligible
          Medallion Loans in any report or other information provided by the
          Servicer to the Lender, the Backup Servicer or the Custodian, or in
          any calculation of the Borrowing Base made by the Servicer;

<PAGE>

               (ii) the failure of any representation or warranty or statement

               (iii) the failure by the Servicer or any subservicer to comply
          with any applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to any
          Medallion Loan or related Medallion;

               (iv) action, or failure to act, by the Servicer that results in
          the failure to maintain in favor of the Lender as required under this
          Servicing Agreement and the other Loan Documents a valid and
          enforceable security interest in the Collateral or the failure to
          maintain such security interests as first priority perfected security
          interests as required under this Servicing Agreement and the other
          Loan Documents;

               (v) the commingling of Collections at any time with other funds;
          and

               (vi) any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction
          of liability whatsoever of any Person, arising out of or relating to
          any action (or failure to act) by the Servicer in accordance with its
          obligations hereunder.

     (c) Indemnification under this Section shall survive the resignation or
removal of the Servicer or the termination of this Agreement, with respect to
any act (or the failure to act) by the Servicer which occurred (or failed to
occur) prior to such resignation, removal or termination and shall include fees
and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. If the Servicer shall have
made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section and the Person to or on
behalf of whom such payments are made thereafter collects any of such amounts
from others, such Person shall promptly repay such amounts to the Servicer,
without interest.

     Section 7.02 Limitation on Resignation of the Servicer. The Servicer shall
not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (a) by
mutual agreement among the Servicer, the Borrower and the Lender or (b) upon
determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under
applicable law. Any determination under clause (b) above permitting the
resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an opinion of counsel (which
counsel shall be acceptable to Lender) to such effect delivered to the Lender
and the Borrower. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor
servicer or the Backup Servicer shall have assumed the Servicer's
responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder. Any such
successor servicer must be an established servicer of loans secured by taxi
medallions and must be approved in writing by the Lender.

     Section 7.03 Rights of the Lender in Respect of the Servicer. The Servicer
shall afford the Lender, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours,
access to all records maintained by the Servicer in respect of its rights and
obligations hereunder and access to officers of the Servicer responsible for

information as the Servicer possesses regarding its business, affairs, property
and condition, financial or otherwise. The Servicer shall permit the Lender to
inspect the Servicer's servicing facilities for the purpose of satisfying the
Lender that the Servicer has the ability to service the Medallion Loans as

     Section 8.02 Additional Termination Requirements.
                  -----------------------------------

     (a) In the event (i) that notice of termination of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.01 of this Agreement is given
by the Lender, or (ii) the Servicer resigns or is removed in accordance with
Section 7.02, the Servicer covenants to safeguard the Servicing Records and that
all funds and Medallion Loan Documents relating to the affected Medallion Loans
(collectively, the "Medallion Loan Records") shall, at the option of the Lender,
immediately upon receipt of notice of termination or the resignation or removal
of the Servicer, be submitted to the control of the Lender or its designee
(including, without limitation, the Backup Servicer) and that, on the date of
termination, they will be transferred to the Lender or its designee (including,
without limitation, the Backup Servicer), without prejudice to the rights, if
any, of any party against any other party.

     (b) Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, or of all or a
portion of the rights and obligations of the Servicer hereunder, the Servicer
shall not be relieved of liability for all amounts due, or responsibilities owed
the Borrower, the Backup Servicer or the Lender in respect of its obligations
hereunder while it served as the servicer hereunder. The Servicer forthwith upon
such termination or resignation shall (i) pay over to the Collection Account all
Collections held by it or subsequently received by it with respect to the
affected Medallion Loans pursuant to this Agreement or pursuant to any other
written agreement, letter or arrangement with the Lender, (ii) deliver to the
Lender and the Backup Servicer or other designee selected by the Lender a full
accounting in respect of the affected Medallion Loans, including a statement
showing the monthly payments and other amounts collected by or on behalf of it
and a statement of moneys held in trust by or on behalf of it for the payment of
taxes, insurance premiums or other charges with respect to the affected
Medallion Loans, (iii) otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and
efficient transfer of servicing of the affected Medallion Loans to the Backup
Servicer or other designee selected by the Lender, and (iv) arrange for the
physical transfer and delivery to the Backup Servicer or other designee selected
by the Lender of all Medallion Loans and copies thereof in its possession, and
all Medallion Loan Records. Any successor servicer hereunder shall meet the
requirements and be selected in accordance with the procedures specified in
Section 7.02. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, or any
termination of all the rights and obligations of the Servicer hereunder as to
all or any number of Medallion Loans, or any resignation of the Servicer, in any
case pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be entitled
to receive all

                                      -22-
<PAGE>

amounts accrued and owing to it under this Agreement from the Borrower in
accordance with Section 4.01 hereof.

                                   ARTICLE IX

     Section 9.01 Appointment and Duties of Backup Servicer.

     (a) Upon the termination of the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.01, all
authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect
to the Collateral or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Backup
Servicer pursuant to and under this Section, and, without limitation, the Backup
Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of
the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other
instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination or to perform
the duties of the Servicer under this Agreement. The Servicer agrees to
cooperate with the Lender and the Backup Servicer in effecting the termination
of the Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without
limitation, notification to the Obligors of the assignment of the servicing
function, providing the Backup Servicer with all records, in electronic or other
form, reasonably requested by it to enable the Backup Servicer to assume the
servicing functions hereunder and the transfer to the Backup Servicer for
administration by it all cash amounts which at the time should be or should have
been deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account or thereafter be
received by the Servicer with respect to the Medallion Loans. Neither the Lender
nor the Backup Servicer shall be deemed to have breached any obligation
hereunder as a result of a failure to make or delay in making any distribution
as and when required hereunder caused by the failure of the Servicer to remit
any amounts received by it or to deliver any documents held by it with respect
to the Collateral.

     (b) On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination
pursuant to this Section 9.01, the Backup Servicer shall be the successor in all
respects to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and
the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall have all the rights
and powers and be subject thereafter to all the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions
hereof; provided, however, that any failure to perform such duties or
responsibilities caused by the Servicer's failure to provide information
required by this Section 9.01 shall not be considered a default by the Backup
Servicer hereunder. The Backup Servicer shall have (i) no liability with respect
to any obligation which was required to be performed by the terminated Servicer
prior to the date that the Backup Servicer becomes the successor to the Servicer
or any claim of a third party based on any alleged action or inaction of the
terminated Servicer, (ii) no obligation to perform any repurchase or advancing
obligations, if any, of the Servicer, (iii) no obligation to pay any taxes
required to be paid by the Servicer (provided that the Backup Servicer shall pay
any taxes for which it is liable), (iv) no obligation to pay any of the fees and
expenses of any other party to the transactions contemplated hereby, and (v) no
liability or obligation with respect to any indemnification obligations of any
prior servicer including the Servicer. The indemnification obligations of the
Backup Servicer, upon becoming a successor servicer, are expressly limited to
those arising on account of its failure to act in good faith and with reasonable
care under the circumstances. In addition, the Backup Servicer shall have no
liability relating to the representations and warranties of the Servicer
contained in Article V.

                                      -23-
<PAGE>

Notwithstanding the above, the Lender may, if the Backup Servicer shall be
unwilling to so act, or shall, if the Backup Servicer is unable to so act,
appoint itself, or appoint any established servicing institution acceptable to
the Lender in its sole discretion as the successor to the Servicer hereunder in
the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities
of the Servicer hereunder. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer
hereunder, and after the Lender notifies the Servicer to discontinue performing
servicing functions under this Agreement, the Backup Servicer (or the Lender if
there is no Backup Servicer) shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided.
In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Lender may make such
arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Medallion
Loans as it and such successor shall agree. The Borrower, the Lender and such
successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be
necessary to effectuate any such succession.

     (c) Other than as specifically set forth in this Agreement, the Backup
Servicer shall have no obligation to supervise, verify, monitor or administer
the performance of the Servicer and shall have no liability for any action taken
or omitted by the Servicer.

     (d) The Backup Servicer may allow a subservicer to perform any and all of
its duties and responsibilities hereunder, including but not limited to its
duties as successor servicer hereunder should the Backup Servicer become the
successor servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, however,
that the Backup Servicer shall remain liable for the performance of all of its
duties and obligations hereunder to the same extent as if no such subservicing
had occurred.

obligations hereunder without the consent of the other parties hereto; provided,
that the Lender may assign any or all of its rights and obligations hereunder
with respect to any or all of the Medallion Loans.

     Section 10.03 No Partnership. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or
construed to create a co-partnership or joint venture between the parties hereto

     Section 10.06 Article and Section Headings; Severability of Provisions;
Counterparts. The article and section headings of this Agreement are for
convenience only and are not to be used to interpret or define the provisions
hereof. In the event that any provision of this Agreement conflicts with
applicable law, such conflict shall not affect the other provisions of this
Agreement which can be given effect without the conflicting provision, and to
this end the provisions of this Agreement are declared to be severable. This
Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original, and all counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.

instruments and take such actions as the other party shall from time to time
reasonably request to carry out the terms of this Agreement.

     Section 10.08 Costs; Expenses. Without duplication of any amounts paid by

Indemnified Party or between an Indemnified Party and any third party relating

     Section 10.09 Periodic Due Diligence Review. The Servicer acknowledges that
the Lender has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with
respect to the Medallion Loans, for purposes of verifying compliance with the
representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder or under the Loan
Agreement, or otherwise, and the Servicer agrees that upon reasonable (but no
less than one (1) Business Day's) prior notice to the Servicer (which prior
notice shall not be required after the occurrence and during the continuation of
a Default), the Lender or its authorized representatives will be permitted
during normal business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts
of, the Medallion Loan Files and any and all documents, records, agreements,
instruments or information relating to such Medallion Loans in the possession or
under the control of the Servicer and/or the Custodian. The Servicer also shall
make available to the Lender a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for
the purpose of answering questions respecting the Medallion Loan Files, the
Medallion Loans, the Borrowing Base or other related matters. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer acknowledges that the Lender may
make Advances to the Borrower based solely upon the information provided by the
Servicer to the Lender and the representations, warranties and covenants
contained herein, and that the Lender, at its option, has the right at any time
to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the
Medallion Loans securing such Advance, including without limitation ordering new
credit reports and otherwise re-generating the information used to originate
such Medallion Loans. The Lender may underwrite such Medallion Loans itself or
engage a mutually agreed upon third party underwriter to perform such
underwriting, provided that such third party underwriter shall agree in writing
with the Borrower to maintain the confidentiality of the information reviewed
and only to use such information in connection with its engagement by the Lender
in connection with this Servicing Agreement or any other Loan Document. The
Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Lender and any third party underwriter in
