                   REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

         SECTION 2.01. REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTIES OF THE SERVICER, THE
ORIGINATOR AND THE BORROWER. The Servicer, the Originator and the Borrower
represent, warrant and covenant as of the Date of Issuance, each as to those
matters relating to itself, as follows:

                  (a)      Due Organization and Qualification. The Servicer, the
         Originator and the Borrower are each a limited liability company duly
         organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its
         respective jurisdiction of organization. Each of the Servicer, the
         Originator and the Borrower is duly qualified to do business, is in
         good standing and has obtained all licenses, permits, charters,
         registrations and approvals (together, "approvals") necessary for the
         conduct of its business as currently conducted and the performance of
         its obligations under the Transaction Documents in each jurisdiction in
         which the failure to be so qualified or to obtain such approvals would
         render any Transaction Document unenforceable in any respect or would
         have a material adverse effect upon the Transaction or the Surety
         Provider.

                  (b)      Power and Authority. Each of the Servicer, the
         Originator and the Borrower has all necessary limited liability company
         power and authority to conduct its business as currently conducted and
         to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Transaction
         Documents and to consummate the Transaction.

                  (c)      Due Authorization. The execution, delivery and
         performance of the Transaction Documents by each of the Servicer, the
         Originator and the Borrower have been duly authorized by all necessary
         limited liability company action and do not require any additional
         approvals or consents of, or other action by or any notice to or filing
         with (except such future filings (e.g. filings under the UCC) as may be
         required under the Transaction Documents), any Person, including,
         without limitation, any governmental entity or the Servicer's, the
         Originator's or the Borrower's stockholders, which have not previously
         been obtained or given by the Servicer, the Originator or the Borrower.

                  (d)      Noncontravention. Neither the execution and delivery
         of the Transaction Documents by the Servicer, the Originator or the
         Borrower, the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby or
         the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of the Transaction
         Documents:

                           (i)      conflicts with or results in any breach or
                  violation of any provision of the Organizational Documents of
                  the Servicer, the Originator or the Borrower or any law, rule,
                  regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree,
                  determination or award currently in effect having
                  applicability to the Servicer, the Originator or the Borrower
                  or any of their material properties, including regulations
                  issued by an administrative agency or other governmental
                  authority having supervisory powers over the Servicer, the
                  Originator or the Borrower;

                                       5
<PAGE>

                           (ii)     constitutes a default by the Servicer, the
                  Originator or the Borrower under or a breach of any provision
                  of any loan agreement, mortgage, indenture or other agreement
                  or instrument to which the Servicer, the Originator or the
                  Borrower is a party or by which any of its or their respective
                  properties, which are individually or in the aggregate
                  material to the Servicer, the Originator or the Borrower, is
                  or may be bound or affected; or

                           (iii)    results in or requires the creation of any
                  lien upon or in respect of any assets of the Servicer, the
                  Originator or the Borrower, except as contemplated by the
                  Transaction Documents.

                  (e)      Legal Proceedings. There is no action, proceeding or
         investigation by or before any court, governmental or administrative
         agency or arbitrator against or affecting the Servicer, the Originator,
         the Borrower or any of its or their subsidiaries, or any properties or
         rights of the Servicer, the Originator, the Borrower or any of its or
         their subsidiaries, pending or, to the Servicer's, the Originator's or
         the Borrower's knowledge after reasonable inquiry, threatened, which in
         any case could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
         Change with respect to the Servicer, the Originator or the Borrower.

                  (f)      Valid and Binding Obligations. The Notes, when
         executed, authenticated and issued in accordance with the Warehouse
         Loan Agreement, and the Transaction Documents (other than the Notes),
         when executed and delivered by the Servicer, the Originator and the
         Borrower, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of
         the Servicer, the Originator, and the Borrower, as applicable,
         enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as such
         enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
         reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors'
         rights generally and general equitable principles and public policy
         considerations as to rights of indemnification for violations of
         federal securities laws. None of the Servicer, the Originator or the
         Borrower will at any time in the future deny that the Transaction
         Documents constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the
         Servicer, the Originator or the Borrower, as applicable.

                  (g)      Financial Statements. The Financial Statements of the
         Originator, copies of which have been furnished to the Surety Provider,
         (i) are, as of the dates and for the periods referred to therein,
         complete and correct in all material respects, (ii) present fairly the
         financial position and results of operations of the Servicer and the
         Originator as of the dates and for the periods indicated and (iii) have
         been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
         principles consistently applied, except as noted therein (subject as to
         interim statements to normal year-end adjustments). Since the date of
         the most recent Financial Statements, there has been no Material
         Adverse Change in respect of the Servicer or the Originator. Except as
         disclosed in the Financial Statements, the Servicer and the Originator
         are not subject to any contingent liabilities or commitments that,
         individually or in the aggregate are probable to cause or have a
         reasonable possibility of causing a Material Adverse Change in respect
         of the Servicer or the Originator.

                                       6
<PAGE>

                  (h)      Compliance With Law, Etc. No practice, procedure or
         policy employed, or proposed to be employed, by the Servicer, the
         Originator or the Borrower in the conduct of its business violates any
         law, regulation, judgment, agreement, order or decree applicable to any
         of them that, if enforced, could reasonably be expected to result in a
         Material Adverse Change with respect to the Servicer, the Originator or
         the Borrower. The Servicer, the Originator and the Borrower are not in
         breach of or in default under any applicable law or administrative
         regulation of its respective jurisdiction of incorporation, or any
         department, division, agency or instrumentality thereof or of the
         United States or any applicable judgment or decree or any loan
         agreement, note, resolution, certificate, agreement or other instrument
         to which the Servicer, the Originator or the Borrower is a party or is
         otherwise subject which, if enforced, would have a material adverse
         effect on the ability of the Servicer, the Originator or the Borrower,
         as the case may be, to perform its respective obligations under the
         Transaction Documents.

                  (i)      Taxes. The Servicer, the Originator and the Borrower
         and the Servicer's, the Originator's and the Borrower's parent company
         or companies have filed prior to the date hereof all federal and state
         tax returns that are required to be filed and paid all taxes, including
         any assessments received by them that are not being contested in good
         faith, to the extent that such taxes have become due, except for any
         failures to file or pay that, individually or in the aggregate, would
         not result in a Material Adverse Change with respect to the Servicer,
         the Originator or the Borrower.

                  (j)      Accuracy of Information. Neither the Transaction
         Documents nor other information relating to the Receivables, the
         operations of the Servicer, the Originator or the Borrower (including
         servicing or origination of leases) or the financial condition of the
         Servicer, the Originator or the Borrower (collectively, the
         "Documents"), as amended, supplemented or superseded, furnished to the
         Surety Provider by the Servicer, the Originator or the Borrower
         contains any statement of a material fact by the Servicer, the
         Originator or the Borrower which was untrue or misleading in any
         material adverse respect when made. None of the Servicer, the
         Originator or the Borrower has any knowledge of circumstances that
         could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change with
         respect to the Servicer, the Originator or the Borrower. Since the
         furnishing of the Documents, there has been no change or any
         development or event involving a prospective change known to the
         Servicer, the Originator or the Borrower that would render any of the
         Documents untrue or misleading in any material respect.

                  (k)      [RESERVED]

                  (l)      Transaction Documents. Each of the representations
         and warranties of the Servicer, the Originator and the Borrower
         contained in the Transaction Documents is true and correct in all
         material respects, and the Servicer, the Originator and the Borrower
         hereby make each such representation and warranty to, and for the
         benefit of, the Surety Provider as if the same were set forth in full
         herein.

                                       7
<PAGE>

                  (m)      Solvency; Fraudulent Conveyance. The Servicer, the
         Originator and the Borrower are solvent and will not be rendered
         insolvent by the Transaction and, after giving effect to the
         Transaction, none of the Servicer, the Originator or the Borrower will
         be left with an unreasonably small amount of capital with which to
         engage in its business, nor does the Servicer, the Originator or the
         Borrower intend to incur, or believe that it has incurred, debts beyond
         its ability to pay as they mature. None of the Servicer, the Originator
         or the Borrower contemplates the commencement of insolvency,
         bankruptcy, liquidation or consolidation proceedings or the appointment
         of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee or similar official in
         respect of the Servicer, the Originator or the Borrower or any of their
         assets.

                  (n)      Principal Place of Business. The principal place of
         business of each of the Originator, the Servicer and the Borrower is
         located in Tacoma, Washington.

                  (o)      Opinion Facts and Assumptions. The Opinion Facts and
         Assumptions insofar as they relate to the Originator and the Borrower
         are true and correct as of the Date of Issuance.

         SECTION 2.02. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS OF THE SERVICER, THE ORIGINATOR AND
THE BORROWER For as long as Financial Pacific Leasing, LLC, or any Affiliate
thereof, is the Servicer, the Servicer, the Originator and the Borrower hereby
agree that during the Term of the Insurance Agreement, unless the Surety
Provider shall otherwise expressly consent in writing:

         Servicer, the Originator and the Borrower shall not be in default under
         the Transaction Documents and shall comply with all material

         the Servicer, the Originator or the Borrower shall agree to any
         amendment to or modification of the terms of any Transaction Documents
         unless the Surety Provider shall have given its prior written consent
         or is a party to such amendment or modification.

                  (b)      Continued Existence. Each of the Servicer, its
         successors and assigns (except in the case that the Standby Servicer
         becomes the Servicer), the Originator, its successors and assigns and
         the Borrower and its successors and assigns, shall maintain its
         existence as a limited liability company and shall at all times
         continue to be duly organized as limited liability companies under the
         laws of their respective jurisdictions of organization and duly
         qualified and duly authorized (as described in section 2.01(a), (b) and
         (c) hereof) and shall conduct its business in accordance with the terms
         of its Organizational Documents.

                  (c)      Financial Statements; Accountants' Reports; Other
         Information. The Servicer, the Originator and the Borrower shall keep
         or cause to be kept in reasonable detail books and records of account

         Originator or the Borrower shall waive, modify or amend, or consent to
         any waiver, modification or amendment of, any of the terms, provisions
         or conditions of any of the Transaction Documents without the prior

         Originator and the Borrower shall not alter or amend any Receivable,
         their respective collection policies or their respective charge-off
         policies in a manner that materially adversely affects the Surety
         Provider unless the Surety Provider shall have previously given its
         consent, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably.

         SECTION 2.04. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE
COLLATERAL AGENT AND STANDBY SERVICER. The Collateral Agent and the Standby

the other parties hereto, each as to those matters relating to itself, as
follows:

                  (a)      Due Organization and Qualification. The Collateral
         Agent and the Standby Servicer are each a national banking association
         or a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
         under the laws of its respective jurisdiction of incorporation. Each of

         charters, registrations and approvals (together, "approvals") necessary
         for the conduct of its business as currently conducted and the
         performance of its obligations under the Transaction Documents in each
         jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified or to obtain such
         approvals would render any Transaction Document unenforceable in any
         respect or would have a material adverse effect upon the Transaction,

This indemnity provision shall survive the termination of this Insurance
Agreement and shall survive until the statute of limitations has run on any
causes of action which arise from one of these reasons and until all suits filed
as a result thereof have been finally concluded.

                  (b)      Any party which proposes to assert the right to be
         indemnified under this Section 4.04 will, promptly after receipt of
         notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such
         party in respect of which a claim is to be made against the Servicer,
         the Originator or the Borrower under this Section 4.04, notify the
         Servicer, the Originator or the Borrower of the commencement of such
         action, suit or proceeding, enclosing a copy of all papers served. In
         case any action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against any
         indemnified party and it shall notify the Servicer, the Originator or
         the Borrower of the commencement thereof, the Servicer, the Originator
         or the Borrower shall be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent
         that it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel
         satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the
         Servicer, the Originator or the Borrower to such indemnified party of
         its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Servicer, the
         Originator or the Borrower shall not be liable to such indemnified
         party for any legal or other expenses other than reasonable costs of
         investigation subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in
         connection with the defense thereof. The indemnified party shall have
         the right to employ its counsel in any such action the defense of which
         is assumed by the Servicer, the Originator or the Borrower in
         accordance with the terms of this subsection (c), but the fees and
         expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified
         party unless the employment of counsel by such indemnified party has
         been authorized by the Servicer, the Originator or the Borrower. The
         Servicer, the Originator or the Borrower shall not be liable for any
         settlement of any action or claim effected without its consent.

         SECTION 4.05. PAYMENT PROCEDURE. In the event of any payment by the
Surety Provider, the Collateral Agent, the Servicer, the Originator and the
Borrower agree to accept the voucher or other evidence of payment as prima facie
evidence of the propriety thereof and the liability therefor to the Surety
Provider. All payments to be made to the Surety Provider under this Insurance
Agreement shall be made to the Surety Provider in lawful currency of the United
States of America in immediately available funds at the notice address for the
Surety Provider as specified in Section 7.02 hereof on the date when due or as
the Surety Provider shall otherwise direct by written notice to the other
parties hereto. In the event that the date of any payment to the Surety Provider
or the expiration of any time period hereunder occurs on a day which is not a
Business Day, then such payment or expiration of time period shall be made or
occur on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if
such payment was made or time period expired on the scheduled date of payment or
expiration date. Payments to be made to the Surety Provider under this Insurance
Agreement shall bear interest at the Late Payment Rate from the date when due to
the date paid.

to the Surety Provider by the Servicer, the Originator, the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lender, the Standby Servicer, or the Borrower

         Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lender, the Standby
         Servicer or the Borrower shall grant any waiver of rights under any of
         the Transaction Documents to which any of them is a party without the
         prior written consent of the Surety Provider, and any such waiver
         without the prior written consent of the Surety Provider shall be null
         and void and of no force or effect.

         Originator, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lender,
         the Standby Servicer and the Borrower agree that they will, from time

         acknowledged and delivered, such supplements hereto and such further
         instruments as the Surety Provider may reasonably request and as may be
         reasonably required in the Surety Provider's judgment to effectuate the
         intention of or facilitate the performance of this Insurance Agreement.

                  untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

                           (v)      any payment by the Surety Provider under the
                  Surety Bond against presentation of a certificate or other
                  document that does not strictly comply with the terms of the
                  Surety Bond; or

                           (vi)     any breach by the Servicer, the Originator,
                  the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lender,

                  (b)      The Servicer, the Originator, the Collateral Agent,
         the Standby Servicer, the Borrower and any and all others who are now
         or may become liable for all or part of the obligations of the
         Servicer, the Originator, the Collateral Agent, the Standby Servicer or
         the Borrower under this Insurance Agreement agree to be bound by this
         Insurance Agreement and (i) to the extent permitted by law, waive and

<PAGE>

         payment, or any right of setoff or recoupment arising out of any breach
         under any of the Transaction Documents by any party thereto or any
         beneficiary thereof, or out of any obligation at any time owing to the
         Servicer, the Originator, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
         Agent, the Lender, the Standby Servicer or the Borrower; (v) agree that
         its liabilities hereunder shall, except as otherwise expressly provided

         and all other security for any payment hereunder, and agree that the
         addition of any such obligors or security shall not affect the
         liability of the parties hereto for any payment hereunder.

                  (c)      Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the
         Servicer, the Originator, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
         Agent, the Lender, the Standby Servicer or the Borrower from pursuing
         any rights or remedies it may have against any other Person in a
         separate legal proceeding.

         SECTION 5.04. ASSIGNMENTS; REINSURANCE; THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS.

                  (a)      This Insurance Agreement shall be a continuing
         obligation of the parties hereto and shall be binding upon and inure to
         the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
         permitted assigns. None of the Servicer, the Originator, the
         Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Standby Servicer or the
         Borrower may assign its rights under this Insurance Agreement, or
         delegate any of its duties hereunder, without the prior written consent

         Insurance Agreement shall be null and void.

                  (b)      The Surety Provider shall have the right to give
         participations in its rights under this Insurance Agreement and to
         enter into contracts of reinsurance with respect to the Surety Bond
         upon such terms and conditions as the Surety Provider may in its
         discretion determine; provided, however, that no such participation or
         reinsurance agreement or arrangement shall relieve the Surety Provider
         of any of its obligations hereunder or under the Surety Bond.

                  (c)      In addition, the Surety Provider shall be entitled to
         assign or pledge to any bank or other lender providing liquidity or
         credit with respect to the Transaction or the obligations of the Surety
         Provider in connection therewith any rights of the Surety Provider
         under the Transaction Documents or with respect to any real or personal

                                       25
<PAGE>

         property or other interests pledged to the Surety Provider, or in which
         the Surety Provider has a security interest, in connection with the
         Transaction.

                  (d)      Except as provided herein with respect to
         participants and reinsurers, nothing in this Insurance Agreement shall
         confer any right, remedy or claim, express or implied, upon any Person,
         including, particularly, any of the Lenders, other than the Surety
         Provider, against the Servicer, the Originator, the Administrative
         Agent, Collateral Agent, the Lender, the Standby Servicer or the
         Borrower, and all the terms, covenants, conditions, promises and
         agreements contained herein shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit
         of the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns.
         Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Lenders shall have any right to
         payment from any Premium paid or payable hereunder or under the
         Warehouse Loan Agreement or from any other amounts paid by the
         Servicer, the Originator, the Collateral Agent, the Standby Servicer or
         the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.02, 4.03 or 4.04 hereof.

                  (e)      The Servicer, the Originator, the Borrower, the
         Collateral Agent, the Lender, the Standby Servicer and the
         Administrative Agent agree that the Surety Provider shall have all
         rights of a third-party beneficiary in respect of the Warehouse Loan
         Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is not a
         signing party and hereby incorporate and restate their representations,
         warranties and covenants, if any, as set forth therein for the benefit
         of the Surety Provider.

         SECTION 5.05. LIABILITY OF THE SURETY PROVIDER. Neither the Surety
Provider nor any of its officers, directors or employees shall be liable or
responsible for (a) the use that may be made of the Surety Bond by the
Administrative Agent or for any acts or omissions of the Administrative Agent in
connection therewith or (b) the validity, sufficiency, accuracy or genuineness
of documents delivered to the Surety Provider (or its Fiscal Agent) in
connection with any claim under the Surety Bond, or of any signatures thereon,
even if such documents or signatures should in fact prove to be in any or all
respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged (unless the Surety Provider
shall have actual knowledge thereof). In furtherance and not in limitation of
the foregoing, the Surety Provider (or its Fiscal Agent) may accept documents
that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further
investigation.

         SECTION 5.06. PARTIES WILL NOT INSTITUTE INSOLVENCY PROCEEDINGS.

                  (a)      So long as this Agreement is in effect, and for one
         year and one day following its termination, none of the parties hereto
         will file any involuntary petition or otherwise institute any
         bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation
         proceeding or other proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy
         or similar law against the Borrower.

                  (b)      So long as this Agreement is in effect, and for one
         year and one day following the date on which the latest maturing
         commercial paper note issued by the Lender is paid, none of the parties
         hereto will file any involuntary petition or otherwise institute any
         bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation

                                       26
<PAGE>

         proceeding or other proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy
         or similar law against the Lender.

         SECTION 5.07. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, COLLATERAL AGENT, LENDER, STANDBY
SERVICER, BORROWER, ORIGINATOR AND SERVICER TO JOIN IN ENFORCEMENT ACTION. To
the extent necessary to enforce any right of the Surety Provider in or remedy of
the Surety Provider under any Receivable, the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent, the Lender, the Borrower, the Servicer and the Originator
agree to join in any action initiated by the Collateral Agent or the Surety
Provider for the protection of such right or exercise of such remedy.

         SECTION 5.08. SUBROGATION. To the extent of any payments under the
Surety Bond, but subject to the priorities set forth in Section 4.6 of the
Warehouse Loan Agreement, the Surety Provider shall be fully subrogated to any
remedies against the Borrower, the Servicer or the Originator or in respect of
the Receivables available to the Lenders (or the Administrative Agent on behalf
of the Lenders) under the Warehouse Loan Agreement. The Collateral Agent
acknowledges such subrogation and, further, agrees to execute such instruments
prepared by the Surety Provider and to take such reasonable actions as, in the
sole judgment of the Surety Provider, are necessary to evidence such subrogation
and to perfect the rights of the Surety Provider to receive any moneys paid or
payable under the Warehouse Loan Agreement.

                  (f)      the Servicer, the Originator or the Borrower shall

         relating to all or substantially all of the property of either;

                  (g)      the Servicer, the Originator or the Borrower shall
         admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they
         become due, file a petition to take advantage of or otherwise
         voluntarily commence a case or proceeding under any applicable

         an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or voluntarily suspend
         payment of its obligations; or

                  (h)      the failure of the Borrower and the Originator to
         comply with, or maintain the accuracy of, the Opinion Facts and

         SECTION 6.02. REMEDIES; NO REMEDY EXCLUSIVE.

                  (a)      Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the
         Surety Provider may exercise any one or more of the rights and remedies
         set forth below:

                           (i)      exercise any rights and remedies under the
                  Transaction Documents in accordance with the terms of the
                  Transaction Documents or direct the Collateral Agent to
                  exercise such remedies in accordance with the terms of the
                  Transaction Documents; or

                                       28
<PAGE>

                           (ii)     take whatever action at law or in equity as
                  may appear necessary or desirable in its judgment to collect
                  the amounts then due under the Transaction Documents or to
                  enforce performance and observance of any obligation,
                  agreement or covenant of the Servicer, the Originator, the
                  Collateral Agent, the Standby Servicer or the Borrower under
                  the Transaction Documents.

                  (b)      Unless otherwise expressly provided, no remedy herein
         conferred upon or reserved is intended to be exclusive of any other
         available remedy, but each remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in
         addition to other remedies given under the Transaction Documents or
         existing at law or in equity. No delay or omission to exercise any
         right or power accruing under the Transaction Documents upon the
         happening of any event set forth in Section 6.01 hereof shall impair
         any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof,
         but any such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as
         often as may be deemed expedient. In order to entitle the Surety
         Provider to exercise any remedy reserved to the Surety Provider in this
         Article, it shall not be necessary to give any notice other than such
         notice as may be required in this Article VI.

         SECTION 6.03. WAIVERS.

                  (a)      No failure by the Surety Provider to exercise, and no
         delay by the Surety Provider in exercising, any right hereunder shall
         operate as a waiver thereof. The exercise by the Surety Provider of any
         right hereunder shall not preclude the exercise of any other right, and
         the remedies provided herein to the Surety Provider are declared in
         every case to be cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided
         by law or equity.

                  (b)      The Surety Provider shall have the right, to be
         exercised in its complete discretion, to waive any Event of Default
         hereunder, by a writing setting forth the terms, conditions and extent
         of such waiver signed by the Surety Provider and delivered to the
         Servicer, the Originator, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
         Agent, the Lender, the Standby Servicer and the Borrower. Unless such
         writing expressly provides to the contrary, any waiver so granted shall
         extend only to the specific event or occurrence which gave rise to the
         Event of Default so waived and not to any other similar event or
         occurrence which occurs subsequent to the date of such waiver.

                                  ARTICLE VII

                                 MISCELLANEOUS

         SECTION 7.01. AMENDMENTS, ETC. This Insurance Agreement may be amended,
modified or terminated only by written instrument or written instruments signed

an amendment, modification or termination hereof.

writing mailed or delivered to the other parties as aforesaid. All such notices

         SECTION 7.03. SEVERABILITY. In the event that any provision of this
Insurance Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable by any court of
competent jurisdiction, the parties hereto

                                       31
<PAGE>

agree that such holding shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other
provision hereof. The parties hereto further agree that the holding by any court
of competent jurisdiction that any remedy pursued by any party hereto is
unavailable or unenforceable shall not affect in any way the ability of such
party to pursue any other remedy available to it.

         SECTION 7.04. GOVERNING LAW. THIS INSURANCE AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT
REGARD TO CHOICE OF LAW PROVISIONS (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK
GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).

         SECTION 7.05. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION.

                  (a)      The parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the
         jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern
         District of New York and any court in the State of New York located in
         the City and County of New York, and any appellate court from any
         thereof, in any action, suit or proceeding brought against it and to or
         in connection with any of the Transaction Documents or the transactions
         contemplated thereunder or for recognition or enforcement of any
         judgment, and the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
         agree that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may
         be heard or determined in such New York state court or, to the extent
         permitted by law, in such federal court. The parties hereto agree that
         a final judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding shall be
         conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the
         judgment or in any other manner provided by law. To the extent
         permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto hereby waive and agree
         not to assert by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise in any such
         suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject
         to the jurisdiction of such courts, that the suit, action or proceeding
         is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action
         or proceeding is improper or that the related documents or the subject
         matter thereof may not be litigated in or by such courts.

                  (b)      To the extent permitted by applicable law, the
         parties hereto shall not seek and hereby waive the right to any review
         of the judgment of any such court by any court of any other nation or
         jurisdiction which may be called upon to grant an enforcement of such
         judgment.

                  (c)      Except as provided in Section 5.06 herein, nothing
         contained in this Insurance Agreement shall limit or affect the Surety
         Provider's right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law
         or to start legal proceedings relating to any of the Transaction
         Documents against any party hereto or its or their property in the
         courts of any jurisdiction.

         SECTION 7.06. CONSENT OF THE SURETY PROVIDER. In the event that the
consent of the Surety Provider is required under any of the Transaction
Documents, the determination whether to grant or withhold such consent shall be
made by the Surety Provider in its sole discretion without any

                                       32
<PAGE>

         implied duty towards any other Person except in those instances where
         this Agreement or such other Transaction Document expressly requires
         reasonable discretion.

         SECTION 7.07. COUNTERPARTS. This Insurance Agreement may be executed in
counterparts by the parties hereto, and all such counterparts shall constitute
one and the same instrument.

         SECTION 7.08. HEADINGS. The headings of Articles and Sections and the
Table of Contents contained in this Insurance Agreement are provided for
convenience only. They form no part of this Insurance Agreement and shall not
affect its construction or interpretation. Unless otherwise indicated, all
references to Articles and Sections in this Insurance Agreement refer to the
corresponding Articles and Sections of this Insurance Agreement.

         SECTION 7.09. TRIAL BY JURY WAIVED. Each party hereto hereby waives, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to a trial by jury in respect of
any litigation arising directly or indirectly out of, under or in connection
with any of the Transaction Documents or any of the transactions contemplated
thereunder. Each party hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or
attorney of any party hereto has represented, expressly or otherwise, that it
would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and
(b) acknowledges that it has been induced to enter into the Transaction
Documents to which it is a party by, among other things, this waiver.

         SECTION 7.10. LIMITED LIABILITY. No recourse under any Transaction
Document shall be had against, and no personal liability shall attach to, any
officer, employee, director, affiliate or shareholder of any party hereto, as
such, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable
proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise in respect of any of the
Transaction Documents, the Notes or the Surety Bond, it being expressly agreed
and understood that each Transaction Document is solely a corporate obligation
or limited liability company obligation, as applicable, of each party hereto,
and that any and all personal liability, either at common law or in equity, or
by statute or constitution, of every such officer, employee, director, affiliate
or shareholder for breaches by any party hereto of any obligations under any
Transaction Document is hereby expressly waived as a condition of and in
consideration for the execution and delivery of this Insurance Agreement.

         SECTION 7.11. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. The Transaction Documents and the
Surety Bond set forth the entire agreement between the parties with respect to
the subject matter thereof, and this Insurance Agreement supersedes and replaces
any agreement or understanding that may have existed between the parties prior
to the date hereof in respect of the subject matter hereof.
