SECTION 2.2 Intent of the Parties; Grant of Security Interest.

(a) The Depositor and the Issuer intend the transactions hereunder to be true sales and contributions of the Sold Assets by the Depositor to the Issuer for all purposes, providing the Issuer and its transferees with the full risks and benefits of ownership of the Sold Assets (such that the Sold Assets would not be property of the Depositor’s estate in the event of the Depositor’s bankruptcy).

(b) If, notwithstanding the intent of the parties or any other provision hereof, the Sold Assets conveyed hereunder are construed to constitute property of the Depositor or such conveyance is not treated as a sale by the Depositor to the Issuer for all purposes, then this Agreement also is intended by the parties to be, and hereby is, a security agreement within the meaning of the UCC; and the conveyance by the Depositor provided for in this Agreement shall be treated as the Grant of, and the Depositor hereby Grants, to the Issuer a security interest in, to and under all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in, to and under all the Sold Assets and all proceeds relating thereto, to secure the payment and performance of the Depositor’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents or as may be determined in connection therewith by Applicable Law. Except with respect to Equipment with an aggregate invoiced cost of $25,000 or less, the Depositor shall take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in, and not to constitute a sale of the Sold Assets, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected first priority security interest in favor of the Issuer (and its assignee) under Applicable Law and shall be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement.

(c) The Depositor acknowledges that the Issuer will, pursuant to the Indenture, assign and pledge the Sold Assets and certain other property and rights to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders. The Depositor consents to such assignment and pledge.

SECTION 2.3 Purchase Price. The purchase price for each Pool Receivable and the Related Security therefor shall be not less than the fair market value of such Pool Receivable and the Related Security. The Issuer shall pay the Depositor the purchase price with respect to each Pool Receivable and the Related Security by transfer of funds, to the extent that the Issuer has received funds available for that purpose pursuant to this Agreement and the Indenture. If the Issuer did not receive sufficient funds to pay the purchase price for the Sold Assets, the remaining Sold Assets, to the extent the purchase price therefor is not paid in full, shall be deemed to have been transferred by the Depositor to the Issuer as a contribution to the Owner Trust Estate, in return for an increase in the value of the interest of the Issuer held by the Depositor.

SECTION 2.4 Actions Evidencing Purchases.

(a) Except with respect to Equipment with an aggregate invoiced cost of $25,000 or less, the Depositor agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that the Issuer, its

assignee or transferee may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the purchases hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to the requirements of Section 2.4(b), the Depositor shall, upon the request of the Issuer, its assignee or transferee execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate.

(b) The Depositor hereby authorizes the Issuer or its assignee to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto and assignments thereof, relative to all the Sold Assets now existing or hereafter arising in the name of the Depositor.

SECTION 2.5 Custodian and Custodial Agreement. At all times after the Closing Date, the Issuer and the Servicer shall cause a Custodial Agreement to be in effect on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and shall cause there to be an acting Custodian appointed thereunder (and who has accepted such appointment). Upon the resignation of any Custodian, the Issuer and the Servicer shall take all actions requested by the Indenture Trustee (at the written direction of the Majority Holders) to appoint a successor Custodian who is reasonably satisfactory to the Majority Holders.

ARTICLE III

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF POOL RECEIVABLES

SECTION 3.1 Appointment of Servicer.

(a) The servicing, administering and collection of the Pool Receivables shall be conducted by the Person (the “Servicer”) so designated from time to time as Servicer in accordance with this Section 3.1. Each party hereby appoints as its agent the Servicer, from time to time designated pursuant to this Section 3.1, to service the Pool Receivables and to enforce its respective rights and interests in and under the Collateral. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Issuer hereby grants to any Servicer appointed hereunder an irrevocable power of attorney to take any and all steps in the Issuer’s name (to the extent the Issuer has the authority to do so) and on behalf of the Issuer as necessary or desirable, in the reasonable determination of the Servicer, to collect all amounts due under any and all Pool Receivables, including endorsing the Issuer’s name on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Pool Receivables and the related Contracts and to take all such other actions set forth in this Article III. Until the Indenture Trustee gives notice to CCG (in accordance with the terms of Section 7.4) of the designation of a new Servicer during the existence of a Servicer Default or as a result of the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.2(f), CCG is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof.

SECTION 3.2 Duties of Servicer.

(a) The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be necessary or advisable to collect all amounts due each Pool Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with this Agreement and all Applicable Law, with such care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, as are consistent with the current business practice of the Servicer with respect to similar accounts receivable generally (including those owned by the

 

6


Servicer for its own account), and with the standards of practice used by equipment finance companies of similar size and having similar portfolios as the Servicer. The Servicer shall take all commercially reasonable actions necessary to maintain the perfection and priority of the security interest of the Noteholders and the Indenture Trustee in the Collateral provided, however, that the security interest in Equipment with an aggregate invoiced cost of $25,000 or less may not be perfected. The Servicer shall hold in trust, and, as required hereunder, segregate, for the account of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders, the Collections in accordance with Indenture.

(b) The Servicer may, on behalf of the Issuer, agree to extend or modify a Contract. In the case of an extension or modification, one or more payments may be moved to a future date, which may be before or after the original final maturity date of such Contract. Any amendment, adjustment, modification or extension made by the Servicer hereunder with respect to the date of any Scheduled Payment of any Contract or any reduction of the interest rate or reduction of the amount of any Scheduled Payment of a Contract, may be made by the Servicer only if each of the following conditions is satisfied (in each case a “Permitted Servicer Adjustment”): (i) no payment date for any Scheduled Payment in respect of such Contract has been extended by more than four calendar months beyond the date of such Scheduled Payment; (ii) Scheduled Payments in respect of such Contract have not been extended on more than two (2) occasions; (iii) any such amendment, adjustment, modification or extension shall be performed in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy and (iv) no such arrangement will be permitted to extend the date of the final Scheduled Payment of any Pool Receivable beyond the last day of the Collection Period relating to the Class B Maturity Date.

(c) The Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following receipt and specific identification thereof, turn over to the Originator all collections received by the Servicer from any Person of indebtedness of such Person to the Originator which are not on account of a Pool Receivable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article III, the Servicer, the Issuer and the Depositor, or any Affiliate of the Servicer, the Issuer or the Depositor, shall have no obligation to collect, enforce or take any other action described in this Article III with respect to any such indebtedness other than to deliver to the Originator the collections and documents with respect to any such indebtedness as described above in this Section 3.2(c).

(d) In connection with any inspection performed pursuant to Section 6.2(c) hereof, the Servicer shall promptly after the request therefore provide the requested information and access as requested by the Indenture Trustee.

(e) Notwithstanding anything provided in this Agreement, the Servicer shall not have any obligation to defend or otherwise appear in a legal proceeding if such legal proceeding is not, in its reasonable opinion, incidental to its duties as the Servicer hereunder or otherwise may cause the Servicer to incur legal expenses or liabilities. In performing its duties as Servicer hereunder, the Servicer may not, under any circumstance, institute a legal proceeding in which the Indenture Trustee or a Noteholder are named as plaintiffs, without prior written consent of the applicable Person.

(f) CCG acknowledges that the Issuer has relied on CCG’s agreement to act as Servicer hereunder in making its decision to execute and deliver this Agreement and the other

 

7


Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Accordingly, CCG shall not resign from its obligations and duties under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party except (i) as required in Section 6.6, (ii) upon determination that the performance of its duties shall no longer be permissible under Applicable Law (any such determination permitting the resignation of the CCG shall be evidenced by an opinion of Independent counsel to such effect delivered to the Indenture Trustee), or (iii) with the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee (at the written direction of the Majority Holders), but only if, in any such case, a replacement Servicer (which may be the Back-Up Servicer) is found that (a) is experienced in the business of acting as servicer with respect to financial agreements of the type comprising the Pool Receivables and (b) will provide servicing and agree to become the Successor Servicer on the same terms as then in effect under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. CCG shall provide notice of its resignation as Servicer hereunder to each Rating Agency.

(g) The Servicer shall execute a Request for Release as may be necessary pursuant to Section 5 of the Custodial Agreement.

(h) The Servicer will notify the Owner Trustee of the final Payment Date as specified in Section 8.1(c) of the Trust Agreement and provide such other information as requested by the Owner Trustee.

(i) The Servicer may delegate its duties and obligations hereunder to any Affiliate subservicer or to any repossession agent or other agent hired in connection with collecting, remarketing, inspecting or similar action in connection with servicing the Pool Receivables and related Equipment (each, a “Sub-Servicer”); provided, that in each such delegation, (i) such Sub-Servicer shall agree in writing to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, (ii) the Servicer shall remain primarily liable to the Issuer for the performance of the duties and obligations so delegated, (iii) the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders shall have the right to look solely to the Servicer for performance and (iv) the terms of any agreement with any Sub-Servicer shall provide that the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may terminate such agreement upon the termination of the Servicer hereunder by giving notice of its desire to terminate such agreement to the Servicer (and the Servicer shall provide appropriate notice to such Sub-Servicer).

(j) Lock-Box Account. The name and address of the Lock-Box Bank, together with the number of the Lock-Box Account at the Lock-Box Bank are specified in Schedule 2. All Obligors have been instructed to make payment in respect of the Contracts to the Lock-Box Account. The Servicer shall at all times have the ability to identify and segregate all of the Collections from other funds on deposit in the Lock-Box Account within five (5) Business Days after deposit of such Collections into the Lock-Box Account. The Servicer shall transfer within five (5) Business Days after deposit into the Lock-Box Account all Collections to the Collection Account. The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that no funds are transferred out of the Lock-Box Account (other than to the Collection Account) unless the Servicer or the Intercreditor Master Agent has identified and segregated such funds from the Collections. Other than the Lock-Box Intercreditor Agreement, the Servicer has not created, or participated in the creation of, or permitted to exist, any Liens in relation to the Lock-Box Account and will not create, or participate in the creation of, or permit to exist, any Liens in relation to the Lock-Box Account. The Servicer shall not amend, modify or supplement the Lock-Box Intercreditor

 

8


Agreement or the Lock-Box Agreement without prior written notice to each Rating Agency and satisfaction of Rating Agency Confirmation and the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee (at the written direction of the Majority Holders). The Servicer will not transfer any funds out of the Lock-Box Account except in accordance with this Agreement and the Lock-Box Intercreditor Agreement.

The Servicer shall cause to be deposited to the Lock-Box Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt all funds identified as Collections received directly by the Issuer, the Originator, the Depositor or the Servicer. If the Servicer, Issuer or Originator receives any payment from an Obligor of a Pool Receivable who is also an Obligor of a Receivable that is not a Pool Receivable and the Obligor has not directed the application of such payment, the Servicer shall apply such payment in accordance with the terms of the Lock-Box Intercreditor Agreement. With respect to partial payments received from an Obligor of a Pool Receivable who is also an Obligor of a Receivable owned outright (meaning, not subject to the Lien of any other Person) by the Servicer or Originator or by any Affiliate of the Servicer or Originator, and the Obligor has not directed the application of such partial payment, the Servicer shall apply such payment which would be allocable on a ratable basis, to the Servicer or Originator first towards the related Pool Receivable and then towards the Receivable owned outright by the Servicer or Originator or by any Affiliate of the Servicer or Originator.

SECTION 3.3 Substitution of Receivables by the Originator.

(a) The Originator shall have the option to substitute Eligible Receivables for Released Receivables (each such substituted Eligible Receivable, a “Substituted Receivable”), which such substitutions shall together be limited on an aggregate, cumulative basis to 10% of the Original Pool Balance. Substitution under this Section 3.3 is prohibited unless as of the date of substitution (the “Substitution Date”), the Substituted Receivable will have a Net Book Value equal to or greater than the Released Receivables being substituted and will mature before the last day of the Collection Period relating to the Class B Maturity Date. Each such Substituted Receivable shall be accompanied by a supplement to this Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “Substitution Supplement”), subjecting such Receivable, the Related Security, the Collections and proceeds of the foregoing to the provisions hereof and providing with respect to such Substituted Receivable and the Related Security the information required in the schedule to such Substitution Supplement.

(b) The Servicer will provide the executed Substitution Supplement to the Indenture Trustee and the Custodian, and will provide the Custodian File relating to the related Substituted Receivables to the Custodian in the time period required under the Custodial Agreement. Upon receipt of such items by the Indenture Trustee and the Custodian, the Custodian shall release the Custodian File with respect to the Released Receivable to the Servicer pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, and the Indenture Trustee (at the written request and expense of the Issuer) shall be required to deliver such instruments of reconveyance and release furnished by the Servicer as may be necessary to transfer such Released Receivables to the Originator and release such Released Receivables from the Lien of the Indenture.

SECTION 3.4 Optional Purchase by the Servicer.

(a) If, on the last day of a Collection Period, the Pool Balance is equal to or less than 15% of the Original Pool Balance, the Servicer has the option to purchase the Collateral on the Payment Date related to such Collection Period. The Servicer may exercise its option to purchase the Collateral by (i) notifying each Rating Agency, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee at least ten (10) days before the Payment Date related to such Collection Period, and (ii) remitting to the Collection Account the Purchase Price for the Collateral in immediately available funds by 10:00am (New York City time) on the Payment Date related to such Collection Period. For purposes of the Servicer’s optional purchase of the Collateral hereunder, “Purchase Price” means the excess of (i) the sum of (a) either (1) in the event that the Servicer is an Affiliate of the Certificateholder, the Note Balance and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon or (2) in the event that the Servicer is not an Affiliate of the Certificateholder, the Pool Balance, (b) all amounts due to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture or the Owner Trustee under the Trust Agreement and (c) any other sums secured by the Indenture over (ii) the sum of (a) the Available Amounts for such Collection Period and (b) the amount then on deposit in the Reserve Account.

(b) On the Payment Date on which the optional purchase is exercised pursuant to clause (a) above, and following the payment of all amounts due under the Indenture on such Payment Date, the Issuer will be deemed to have sold and assigned to the Servicer as of the last day of the preceding Collection Period all of the Issuer’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral, including the Pool Receivables and all security and documents relating to such Pool Receivables. Such sale will not require any action by the Issuer and will be without recourse, representation or warranty by the Issuer except the representation that the Issuer owns the Pool Receivables free and clear of any Liens other than Permitted Liens. Upon such sale, the Servicer will mark its computer records indicating that any Receivables purchased pursuant to Section 3.4(a) are no longer Pool Receivables, file UCC termination or amendment statements or take any other action necessary or appropriate to evidence the transfer of ownership of the purchased Pool Receivables free from any Lien of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, will execute such documents and instruments and any and all further instruments, including any authorizations to file UCC financing statement amendments, required or reasonably requested by the Servicer to effect such transfer.

SECTION 3.5 Servicing Fee. The Servicer shall be paid the Servicing Fee pursuant to Sections 4.5(a) and (b) of the Indenture.

SECTION 3.6 Servicer Advance. If the Servicer determines that any Scheduled Payment with respect to any Pool Receivable that was due during the Collection Period was not received in full prior to the related Determination Date, the Servicer has the right to elect, but is not obligated, to advance the unpaid Scheduled Payment if it reasonably believes that the advance will be recovered from subsequent payments with respect to that Pool Receivable (the “Servicer Advance”). The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for the amount of any Servicer Advance from amounts subsequently received with respect to that Pool Receivable or, if the Servicer determines that a Servicer Advance will not be recovered from the Pool Receivable to which it relates, from amounts received with respect to other Pool Receivables.

  (II) Representations with respect to the Pool Receivables

(a) Good Title; Perfection.

(i) Immediately preceding the sale or contribution hereunder, the Depositor was the owner of all of the Sold Assets, free and clear of all Liens (other than any Permitted Liens). This Agreement constitutes a valid sale, transfer and assignment of the Sold Assets to the Issuer from the Depositor and, upon the purchase or contribution, as the case may be, hereunder the Issuer shall acquire a valid, enforceable and perfected ownership interest in the Sold Assets free and clear of any Lien (other than any Permitted Liens and Equipment with an aggregate invoiced cost of $25,000 or less).

 

19


(ii) Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if the conveyance by the Depositor to the Issuer of the Sold Assets hereunder were construed not to be a sale or contribution, this Agreement creates a valid security interest in favor of the Issuer (and its assignee) in the Sold Assets consisting of all the Pool Receivables sold hereunder, the Related Security, the related Equipment and the proceeds relating thereto, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens) (provided, however, that no representation is made herein with respect to creation or perfection of any security interest in goods or other assets pledged by an Obligor other than Equipment with an aggregate invoiced cost of more than $25,000); all financing statements and other documents required to be recorded or filed in order to perfect the security interest of the Issuer in the Sold Assets have been filed, and the Issuer (and its assignee) has, subject to Permitted Liens, a perfected first priority security interest in all the Sold Assets sold hereunder, and the proceeds relating thereto, free and clear of all Liens (other than the Permitted Liens).

(b) Nature of Pool Receivables. Each Pool Receivable will be an Eligible Receivable as of the Closing Date. As of the Closing Date, the Depositor has no knowledge of any fact that would cause it or should have caused it to expect any payments on such Pool Receivable will not be paid in full when due or that is reasonably likely to cause or result in any Material Adverse Effect on the Issuer or the Noteholders in respect of such Pool Receivable. To the extent that the first Scheduled Payment of a Pool Receivable is due after the Cut-Off Date, such first Scheduled Payment of such Pool Receivable is not more than 61 days late. In the event of a prepayment of a Pool Receivable, there is no obligation to rebate money to the related Obligor.

(c) Perfection Representations. The Depositor is the sole owner of all of the Pool Receivables sold hereunder listed in Schedule 1 free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens). The Depositor further represents:

(1) General.

(A) The Pool Receivables sold hereunder constitute “accounts,” “instruments,” “general intangibles,” or “tangible chattel paper” within the meaning of the UCC.

(B) The Depositor has taken all steps or commenced procedures necessary in each jurisdiction in which the Pool Receivables were originated to perfect its security interest against the Obligors in the Equipment securing the Pool Receivables sold hereunder; provided, however, that the security interest in Equipment with an aggregate invoiced cost of $25,000 or less may not be perfected.

(C) The Depositor has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of the Pool Receivables to the pledge of a security interest in the Pool Receivables to the Issuer.

(2) Creation. The Depositor owns and has good and marketable title to the Sold Assets immediately prior to the sale or contribution or pledge thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person, excepting other Permitted Liens and liens for taxes, assessments or similar governmental charges or levies that are not yet due and payable or as to which any applicable grace period shall not

have expired, or that are being contested in good faith by proper proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been established, but only so long as foreclosure with respect to such a Lien is not imminent and the use and value of the property to which the Lien attaches is not impaired during the pendency of such proceeding.

(3) Perfection. The Depositor has caused or commenced procedures for the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under Applicable Law in order to perfect the sale and/or contribution of the Sold Assets from the Depositor to the Issuer; provided, however, that the security interest in Equipment with an aggregate invoiced cost of $25,000 or less may not be perfected.

(4) Priority.

(A) Other than the transfer of the Sold Assets to the Issuer hereunder, the Depositor has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Sold Assets. The Depositor has not authorized the filing of, nor is aware of any financing statements against the Depositor that include a description of collateral covering the Sold Assets transferred hereunder other than any financing statement relating to the transfer of the Sold Assets hereunder or that has been or is being terminated in connection with the execution of this Agreement.

SERVICER DEFAULTS

SECTION 7.1 Servicer Default The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a “Servicer Default”:

(a) failure to make any payment, transfer or deposit on or before the date occurring three Business Days after the date of such payment, transfer, deposit, instruction, or notice is required to be made or given hereunder or pursuant to the Indenture and notice thereof has been given to a Responsible Officer of the Servicer in writing;

(b) an Event of Bankruptcy occurs with respect to the Servicer;

(c) any representation, warranty or certification made by the Servicer hereunder or in any certificate delivered hereunder shall prove to have been incorrect when made, has a Material Adverse Effect and continues to be incorrect in any material respect for a period of 30 days after the first to occur of (i) the date on which written notice of such incorrectness shall have been given to the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee or the Majority Holders or (ii) the date on which the Servicer becomes aware of the incorrectness (provided, that, the Indenture Trustee shall not be obligated to determine materiality for purposes of this Section 7.1(c));

(d) failure to observe or perform in any material respect any other covenant or agreement of the Servicer hereunder which materially and adversely affects the rights of the Noteholders and continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the earlier of (i) the date the Servicer or Issuer receives notification in writing of such failure from the Indenture Trustee or the Majority Holders or (ii) the Servicer learns of such failure (provided, that, the Indenture Trustee shall not be obligated to determine materiality for purposes of this Section 7.1(d)); and

(e) the Servicer’s Tangible Net Worth at the end of any calendar quarter is less than $35,000,000.

 

33


The Servicer will notify the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Back-Up Servicer and each Rating Agency of any Servicer Default under this Section 7.1, no later than five (5) Business Days after a Responsible Officer of the Servicer obtains actual knowledge of such event.

SECTION 7.2 Notification to Noteholders. Upon any termination of, or appointment of a successor to, the Servicer or the Back-Up Servicer, the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to each Noteholder and to the Depositor (who shall promptly deliver such notice to each Rating Agency).

SECTION 7.3 Waiver of Servicer Defaults. The Majority Holders, or, if no Notes are Outstanding, the Owner Trustee, at the direction of the Certificateholder, may waive any Servicer Default and its consequences, except an event resulting from the failure to make any required deposits to or payments from any of the Bank Accounts in accordance with this Agreement that resulted in an Event of Default in the payment of principal or interest on the Notes (other than an Event of Default relating to failure to pay principal due only by reason of acceleration) under the Indenture. Upon any such waiver of a Servicer Default, such Servicer Default will cease to exist and will be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose under this Agreement. No such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other event or impair any right resulting from such waiver. The Issuer will promptly notify each Rating Agency of any such waiver.

SECTION 7.4 Effect of a Servicer Default.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Servicer Default, the Indenture Trustee may, and upon the written direction of the Majority Holders shall, designate as Servicer the Back-Up Servicer or any other Person that is an established financial institution having a Tangible Net Worth of at least $50,000,000 and the regular business of which includes the servicing of receivables similar to the Pool Receivables to succeed CCG or any successor (the “Successor Servicer”), on the condition in each case that any such Person so designated shall agree to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, provided, however, that if a Servicer Default occurs as a result of an Event of Bankruptcy with respect to the Servicer, the Back-Up Servicer shall become the Successor Servicer without any action by the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders. Upon such agreement by the Successor Servicer, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement shall pass to and be vested in the Successor Servicer and all references in this Agreement to the Servicer shall be deemed to refer to the Successor Servicer. As compensation, any Successor Servicer (including, without limitation, the Back-Up Servicer) so appointed shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee and any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, together with any other servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees or otherwise as provided herein, including, without limitation, the reasonable costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the Successor Servicer incurred in connection with the transferring of servicing obligations under this Agreement.

(b) Upon the designation of a Successor Servicer as set forth above, CCG agrees that it will terminate its activities as Servicer hereunder in a manner which the Indenture Trustee determines will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the Successor Servicer, and CCG shall cooperate with and assist such Successor Servicer. Such cooperation

 

34


shall include access to and transfer of records and use by the Successor Servicer of all records, licenses, hardware or software necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security.

(c) The Servicer hereby irrevocably agrees that if at any time it shall cease to be the Servicer hereunder, it shall act (if the then current Servicer so requests) for a six (6) month period of time following the termination of the Servicer as the data-processing agent of the Servicer and, in such capacity, the Originator shall conduct the data-processing functions of the administration of the Pool Receivables and the Collections thereon in substantially the same way that the Originator conducted such data-processing functions while it acted as the Servicer at the Originator’s expense.

(d) Any Successor Servicer hereunder may, to the extent agreed by the Indenture Trustee (at the written direction of the Majority Holders), use credit and collection policies and procedures other than the Credit and Collection Policy in servicing the Pool Receivables.

(e) The Back-Up Servicer hereby accepts any appointment of it as Successor Servicer that the Indenture Trustee (at the written direction of the Majority Holders) may make from time to time pursuant to Section 7.4 and agrees to assume all duties and obligations of the Servicer hereunder. Upon the Back-Up Servicer receiving notice that it is required to serve as the Servicer hereunder pursuant to Section 7.4 the Back-Up Servicer will promptly begin the transition to its role as Servicer. If the Back-Up Servicer has become the Servicer hereunder, it shall not resign as servicer until a Successor Servicer has been appointed and accepted such appointment. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, PFSC, as Successor Servicer, shall have no (i) substitution obligations under Section 3.3, (ii) repurchase rights or obligations under Sections 3.4 and 6.5, (iii) servicer advance rights or obligations under Section 3.6, (iv) responsibilities for the representations and warranties of any prior servicer, (v) indemnity obligations of any prior servicer, (vi) financial covenant obligations under Section 7.1 and (vii) obligation to bring suits in its own name in its capacity as Successor Servicer. In addition, PFSC, as Successor Servicer, shall not be responsible for the costs of audits or inspections as a result of a Default or Event of Default under Section 6.2(c) unless PFSC is reimbursed for such costs pursuant to Sections 4.5(a) or (b) of the Indenture.

Form of Credit and Collection Policies and Practices


COMMERCIAL CREDIT GROUP INC

CREDIT POLICY

Credit Submittals

All transactions require a credit package and must be documented on the Company’s standard form of credit application. The amount of credit information required to evaluate a proposed transaction will be on a case-by-case basis depending on the size and complexity of the proposed transaction. A typical credit package may include year-end and interim financial statements, corporate/LLC tax returns, collateral description, references, personal financial statements, personal tax returns and other guarantor information.

Credit Process

The credit package will be analyzed to include financial statement and cash flow analysis, collateral evaluation, and reference checks. Reference checks must be documented on the Company’s standard form of internal credit documents. Credit reports such as Dun & Bradstreet and credit bureau reports will be evaluated when applicable. If the proposed transaction is with an existing obligor, previous transactions will also be reviewed for total exposure and cross-collateralization purposes. All terms and closing conditions will be noted on the credit application. All transactions require the approval of two credit officers.

Credit Parameters

Debt Service Coverage: At the time of the initial credit decision, the historic or forecasted Debt Service Coverage must be at or above 1:1. Debt Service Coverage is defined as Cash Flow (net income + non cash expenses) vs. Current Maturities of debt (excluding revolving facilities and balloon payments). If the obligor’s financial information does not itemize Current Maturities, then the Company’s credit officers will use their best efforts to determine an estimate of Current Maturities.

References: Reference checks on the proposed obligor’s secured debt must indicate current payment habits within 60 days of due date. Credit reports must not have any excessive delinquency.

Previous Bankruptcies: The obligor and its majority owners must not be in or have filed for a bankruptcy proceeding within the last 7 years.

The CEO of the Company must approve transactions that do not meet the parameters as indicated above.

Non-Qualifying Transactions

The Company will not entertain any transactions that have the following characteristics:

 

    Floor plan

 

    Owner-operator transportation

 

    Transactions involving a third party broker

 

    Consumer or Agricultural


Credit Concentrations

The Company’s in-house limit on total exposure to any one obligor (including related parties such as guarantors and affiliated entities with similar ownership) shall not exceed 4% of the net portfolio. The Company may sell all or part of a transaction to third parties on a without recourse basis. Once a transaction is sold, the net amount sold will be removed from the total concentration of that particular obligor.

At times, the Company may be involved in transactions that involve recourse to the selling vendor or manufacturer. In such situations, the Company’s total recourse exposure to any one recourse obligor will not exceed 17.5% of the Company’s equity, except in the event where (1) the recourse party is of unquestionable credit quality; and (2) no one single direct obligor subject to such recourse represents more than 6% of the Company’s equity; and (3) management feels the Company’s exposure is fully protected.

Any transaction originated by the Company and initially financed by the Company with non-recourse debt will not be subject to in-house credit limits.

Credit Officers and Authority

All transactions require the approval of two credit officers prior to funding. The credit authorization on any one obligor will be the highest credit authority assigned to the individual officers approving the transaction. The credit officers and their respective credit authority are set forth below:

 

Daniel J. McDonough

Samuel C. Robinson

$400,000

James H. Smith

Extensions

At times existing obligors may request an extension of their existing accounts. Such accommodations will require a complete credit package and will follow the underwriting process of a newly proposed transaction. During an extension request, the Company will reevaluate its collateral position, guarantors and pricing and make the necessary adjustments.

Non-Accruals and Write-Offs

The Company will suspend interest income on contract receivables if, in management’s opinion, the collection of such receivable is in question. This may occur for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, delinquency, a bankruptcy proceeding, foreclosure, and deteriorating business conditions. All receivables over 90 days delinquent will automatically be placed on non-accrual.

When an account is placed on non-accrual, the Company will perform a collateral evaluation and take the appropriate write-off. All contract receivables that become subject to foreclosure will be removed from the receivable classification and reclassified as “Other Assets”, the carrying value of which is expected to be at the estimated liquidation value of the collateral.
