(a) The Pool Receivables to be sold and/or contributed pursuant to this Agreement are Eligible Receivables as of the Closing Date and shall be listed in Schedule 1. The Depositor will insure that no such Pool Receivable shall be subject to any adverse selection which could reasonably be expected to be unfavorable to the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee.

(b) The transfer of the Sold Assets pursuant to this Agreement shall be effective as of the date hereof. The Depositor will mark its computer files relating to each Pool Receivable, together with its other related books and records, with a notification indicating that such Pool Receivables, together with all Related Security and proceeds thereof have been sold or contributed, as the case may be, to the Issuer and are no longer assets of the Depositor.

(c) The Related Security and any proceeds relating to any Pool Receivable which are received after the Cut-Off Date shall be sold or contributed at the same time as such Pool Receivable is sold or contributed hereunder, whether the applicable Related Security and proceeds exist at such time or arise or are acquired thereafter.

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).

 

4


(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. 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.

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) 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

 

5


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 Noteholders) to appoint a successor Custodian who is reasonably satisfactory to the Noteholders.

ARTICLE III

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF POOL RECEIVABLES

SECTION 3.1 Appointment of Servicer. 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 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 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. 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 shall not extend the maturity of any Pool Receivable or, amend, adjust, modify or extend the date of any Scheduled Payment of any Pool Receivable, other than (i) pursuant to a Permitted Servicer Adjustment or (ii) extensions and adjustments of the dates of Scheduled Payments of Contracts which have thereupon been immediately treated as Defaulted Receivables; provided that if an Event of Default exists, the Servicer may not make any such amendment, adjustment, modification, extension or reduction without prior written approval of the Indenture Trustee (at the written direction of the Noteholders). The Issuer shall deliver to the

 

6


Servicer and the Servicer shall hold in trust for the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders, in accordance with their respective interests, all records which evidence or relate to the Pool Receivables. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, during the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, the Indenture Trustee shall (at the written direction of the Noteholders) have the absolute and unlimited right to direct the Servicer (whether CCG or any other Person is the Servicer) to commence or settle any legal action to enforce collection of any Pool Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Collateral. The Servicer shall not make the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder a party to any litigation without the prior written consent of such Person. At any time during the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, the Indenture Trustee may (at the written direction of the Noteholders) notify any Obligor of its interest in the Pool Receivables and the Collateral.

(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 Noteholder or 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 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 (a) as required in Section 6.6, (b) 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 (c) with the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee (at the written direction of the Noteholders), but only if, in any such case, a replacement Servicer (which may be the Back-Up Servicer) is found that (i) is experienced in the business of acting as servicer with respect to financial agreements of the type comprising the Pool Receivables and (ii) 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.

 

7


(g) The Servicer shall execute a Request for Release as may be necessary pursuant to Section 5 of the Custodial Agreement. The Servicer will deliver the Bill of Sale to the Custodian in accordance with 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, the Indenture Trustee and 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 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 Intercreditor Agreement or the Lock-Box Agreement without the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee (at the written direction of the Noteholders). The Servicer will not transfer any funds out of the Lock-Box Account except in accordance with this Agreement and the 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 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

 

8


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 either (a) a Defaulted Receivable; or (b) a prepaid Contract (i.e., a Contract voluntarily paid in full prior to its scheduled maturity date, and, together with a Defaulted Receivable for which a substitution is being made, a “Released Receivable”), which such substitutions shall together be limited on an aggregate, cumulative basis to 10% of the Original Pool Balance; provided that prepaid Contracts shall only be permitted to be substituted during the first two (2) years following the Closing Date. Substitution under this Section 3.3 is prohibited unless as of the date of substitution (the “Substitution Date”), the substituted Eligible Receivables (each a “Substituted Receivable”) will have a Net Book Value, based on such Receivable’s Scheduled Payments that are scheduled to be received after the Substitution Date prior to the Maturity Date, equal to or greater than the Pool Receivables being substituted. Each such Substitute 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 Substitute 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. 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 the Pool Balance is equal to or less than 30% of the Original Pool Balance on the last day of any Collection Period, the Servicer has the option to purchase the Collateral. The Servicer may exercise its option to purchase the Collateral by (a) notifying the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee at least ten (10) days before the Payment Date related to such Collection Period, and (b) remitting to the Collection Account the purchase price for the Collateral equal to the aggregate principal balance of the Pool Receivables as of the last day of such Collection Period in immediately available funds by 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day preceding the Payment Date related to such Collection Period; provided, that, the Servicer may net such purchase price of the Collateral against any amounts owing to the Servicer under the Transaction Documents.

ARTICLE VII

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 (3) Business Days after the date of such payment, transfer, deposit, instruction, or notice is required to be made or given pursuant to this Agreement or the Indenture and notice has been given to an officer of the Servicer in writing;

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

(c) failure to deliver the Servicer Report by the close of business on the related Payment Date;

(d) the occurrence of an Event of Default;

(e) any attempt to transfer servicing except as permitted hereunder;

(f) the occurrence and continuance of an event or condition which 100% of the Noteholders conclude materially and adversely affects the Servicer’s ability to collect the Pool Receivables or perform its other duties and obligations hereunder;

(g) the Servicer’s Tangible Net Worth is less than $35 million;

(h) any representation, warranty or certification made by the Servicer in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered under this Agreement shall prove to have been incorrect when made, has a material adverse effect on the Noteholders and continues to be incorrect in any material respect for a period of thirty (30) days after the first to occur of (i) the date on which written notice of such incorrectness shall have been given to the Servicer (ii) the date on which the Servicer becomes aware of the incorrectness; and

(i) failure to observe or perform in any material respect any other covenant or agreement of the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement which materially and adversely affects the rights of the Noteholders and continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the earlier of (i) the date the Servicer or Issuer receives notification in writing of such failure or (ii) the Servicer learns of such failure.

The Servicer will notify the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Back-Up Servicer and the Rating Agency of any Servicer Default under this Section 7.1 or any event that with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a 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.

 

35


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 the Rating Agency).

SECTION 7.3 Waiver of Servicer Defaults. The Noteholders of a majority of the Class A Note Balance 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 the Rating Agency of any such waiver.

SECTION 7.4 Effect of a Servicer Default Upon the occurrence of a Servicer Default, the Indenture Trustee may, and upon the written direction of the Noteholders shall, designate as Servicer any Person (including the Back-Up Servicer) 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 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.

 

36


(d) Any Successor Servicer hereunder may, to the extent agreed by the Indenture Trustee, 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 Noteholders) 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 reporting obligations specific to the Servicer under Section 6.2, (vii) financial covenant obligations under Section 7.1 and (viii) 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 Section 4.5(a) of the Indenture.

(g) The Back-Up Servicer has operated its business in accordance with all Applicable Laws and regulations and it is not in violation of any such laws or regulations other than such violations which singly or in the aggregate do not, and, with the passage of time will not, have a material adverse affect on its business or assets, or its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

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

In-house limit

Kevin T. McGinn

$750,000

W.J. Mattocks

$750,000

Donald G. Pokorny

$750,000

Richard W. Radom

$750,000 With comparable co-signature authority, $400,000 with Samuel C. Robinson and James H. Smith

Samuel C. Robinson

$400,000

James H. Smith

$400,000

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.
