The Servicer shall not merge or consolidate with any other Person unless: (i) the entity, surviving such merger or consolidation is a corporation organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, (ii) the surviving entity, if not the Servicer, shall execute and deliver to the Transferor and the Trustee, in form and substance satisfactory to each of them, (x) an instrument expressly assuming all of the obligations of the Servicer hereunder, and (y) an Officer's Certificate to the effect that such Person is a corporation of the type described in the preceding clause (i), has effectively assumed the obligations of the Servicer hereunder, that all conditions precedent provided for in this Agreement relating to such transaction have been complied with, that all financing statements and continuation statements and amendments thereto have been executed and filed that are necessary fully to preserve and protect the interest of the Transferor, the Issuer and Trustee in the Trust Property, and reciting the details of such filings, or stating that no such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interest, (iii) the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such 31 consolidation, merger or succession will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrading of the ratings for the Notes and (iv) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Servicer Event of Default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a Servicer Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 8.02 LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF THE SERVICER AND OTHERS. (a) Neither the Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Servicer shall incur any liability, to the Transferor, the Issuer, the Trustee or the holders of the Notes, for any action taken or not taken in good faith pursuant to the terms of this Agreement with respect to any Contract (including any Defaulted Contract) or the Equipment subject thereto; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such person against any breach of representations or warranties made by it herein or in any certificate delivered in conjunction with the purchase of the Notes or for any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance or negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. (b) Except as provided in this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute, or defend any legal action that shall not be incidental to its duties to service the Contracts in accordance with this Agreement, and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Servicer may undertake, at its expense, any reasonable action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties to this Agreement and the interests of the Noteholders under this Agreement. (c) The Servicer, and any director or officer or employee or agent of the Servicer, may rely in good faith on the advice of counsel selected by it with due care or on any document of any kind, prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. 8.03 SERVICER NOT TO RESIGN OR BE REMOVED. The Servicer shall not resign from the servicing obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except in connection with an assignment permitted by Section 11.02 hereof or upon determination that such duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an opinion of independent counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Noteholders evidencing more than 50% of the Voting Rights, to such effect delivered to the Trustee. Except as provided in Section 10.02 hereof, the Servicer shall not be removed or be replaced as Servicer with respect to any Contract or Equipment; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that upon the occurrence of any Amortization Event, Noteholders evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights shall have the right to replace DVI as Servicer with a successor Servicer in accordance with Section 10.02 hereof. No resignation or removal of the Servicer shall in any event (i) become effective until the successor Servicer shall have assumed the Servicer's servicing responsibilities and obligations in accordance with Section 10.02 hereof, or (ii) affect the Contributor's obligations pursuant to this Agreement. 32 8.04 FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS INFORMATION. The Servicer will deliver to the Transferor, the Issuer, the Trustee (who shall forward copies to each Noteholder) and the Rating Agencies: (a) promptly upon their becoming available, one copy of each report (including the Servicer's (or for so long as DVI Financial Services Inc. is the Servicer, DVI, Inc.'s) annual report to shareholders and reports on Form 8-K, 10-K, and 10-Q), proxy statement, registration statement, prospectus and notices filed with or delivered to any securities exchange, the Securities and Exchange Commission or any successor agencies, in each case relating to the Transferor or the Notes; (b) immediately upon becoming aware of the existence of any condition or event which constitutes a Servicer Event of Default, a written notice describing its nature and period of existence and what action the Servicer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto; (c) promptly upon the Servicer's becoming aware of: (i) any proposed or pending investigation of it by any governmental authority, or agency, or (ii) any court or administrative proceeding which individually or in the aggregate involves the possibility of materially and adversely affecting the properties, business, profits or conditions (financial or otherwise) of the Servicer, a written notice specifying the nature of such investigation or proceeding and what action the Servicer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto and evaluating its merits; and (d) (i) upon request, the Servicer shall furnish to the Transferor, the Issuer and the Trustee, within ten (10) Business Days, a list of all Contracts (by contract number and name of Obligor), as of the end of the most recent Collection Period, held as part of the Trust Property, together with a reconciliation of such list to the Contract Schedule and (ii) with reasonable promptness, any other data and information which may be reasonably requested from time to time. 8.05 OFFICER'S CERTIFICATES. With each set of documents delivered pursuant to Section 8.04(a), the Servicer will deliver an Officer's Certificate stating (i) that the officer signing such Certificate have reviewed the relevant terms of this Agreement and have made, or caused to be made under such officer's supervision, a review of the activities of the Servicer during the period covered by the statements then being furnished, (ii) that the review has not disclosed the existence of any Servicer Event of Default or, if a Servicer Event of Default exists, describing its nature and what action the Servicer has taken and is taking with respect thereto and (iii) that on the basis of such review the officer signing such certificate is of the opinion that during such period the Servicer has serviced the Contracts in compliance with the procedures hereof except as described in such certificate. 33 8.06 INSPECTION. The Servicer shall make available to the Trustee or its duly authorized representatives, attorneys or auditors, and the Noteholders or their duly authorized representative attorneys or auditors copies of the Contract Files and the related accounts, records and computer systems maintained by the Servicer at such times during normal operating hours as the Trustee shall reasonably request which does not unreasonably interfere with the Servicer's normal operations or customer or employee relations. Nothing in this Section 8.06 shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors, and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 8.06. Any expense incident to the exercise by the Trustee or any Noteholder during the continuance of a Servicer Event of Default of any right under this Section 8.06 shall be borne by the Servicer, but any expense due to the exercise of a right by any such Person prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default shall be borne by such Person. 8.07 SERVICER RECORDS. On or before the Closing Date, the Servicer will indicate in its records that it is servicing and administering each Contract in its capacity as Servicer hereunder, at the request and for the benefit of the Transferor (and subject to the provisions of the applicable Transaction Documents) and its successors and assigns (including the Issuer and the Trustee). 8.08 INSURANCE. The Servicer will track, on a quarterly basis, casualty insurance premium payments by Obligors as required by the Contracts, in the same manner in which the Servicer would service contracts and equipment held for its own account. 8.09 NO BANKRUPTCY PETITION AGAINST THE TRANSFEROR, THE MANAGING MEMBER OR THE ISSUER. The Servicer covenants and agrees it will not, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all amounts owing pursuant to the Transaction Documents, institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any of the Transferor, the Managing Member or the Issuer, any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law. This Section 8.09 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 8.10 FIDELITY BOND AND ERRORS AND OMISSIONS INSURANCE. The Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with coverage appropriate and customary in the industry with responsible companies on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Contracts to handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Contracts. Any such fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons and shall be maintained in a form and amount that would meet the requirements of a prudent institutional servicer. No provision of this Section 8.10 requiring such fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. Any such fidelity bond or insurance policy shall not be cancelled or modified in a materially adverse manner without ten days' prior written notice to the Rating Agencies. Promptly upon receipt of any notice from the surety or the insurer that such fidelity bond or insurance policy has been terminated or materially modified, the Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the Rating Agency of any such termination or modification. 34 SECTION 9.

Nothing in this Section 9.03 shall affect the obligation of the Contributor to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors, and the failure of the Contributor to provide access to information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 9.03. Any expense incident to the exercise by the Trustee or any Noteholder during the continuance of a Servicer Event of Default of any fight under this Section 9.03 shall be borne by the Servicer, but any expense due to the exercise of a right by any such Person prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default shall be borne by such Person. 9.04 NO BANKRUPTCY PETITION AGAINST THE MANAGING MEMBER, THE TRANSFEROR OR THE ISSUER.

(b) The Contributor shall maintain its computer systems so that, from and after the time of sale hereunder of the Contracts to the Transferor, the Contributor's master computer records (including archives) that refer to a Contract and the related Contract shall 36 indicate clearly the interest of the Transferor in such Contract and that such Contract has been resold to the Issuer and pledged by the Issuer to the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Swap Provider. Indication of the Transferor's ownership of a Contract, the resale to the Issuer, and the pledge of such Contract by the Issuer to the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Swap Provider shall be deleted from or modified on the Contributor's computer systems when, and only when, the Contract shall have been paid in full or purchased or substituted by the Contributor pursuant to the terms hereof. 9.06 TAX RETURNS.

(a) On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 10.02 hereof, the Trustee (subject to subsection (b) hereof) shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement of the Contracts and, to such extent, shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities (other than the duty to advance funds and to indemnify) relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof (but not the obligations of the Contributor contained herein which shall survive any such termination as above provided) and shall be entitled to receive from the Transferor the Servicing Fee and other servicing compensation provided for in Section 4.04 40 hereof; PROVIDED that the Trustee shall in no way be responsible or liable for any action or actions of the Servicer before the time the Servicer receives such a notice of termination.

Pending appointment of a successor Servicer hereunder, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee shall cause such successor Servicer to enter into a servicing agreement substantially in the form of this Agreement except that such agreement shall not include any of the Contributor's representations, warranties or obligations and the Trustee may make arrangements for the compensation of such successor Servicer out of payments on Contracts and the related Contracts as it and such successor Servicer shall agree; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that provided in Section 4.04 hereof. Neither the Trustee nor a Successor Servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of its failure to make, or its delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof which failure or delay was caused by (i) the failure of the prior Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash, documents or records to it, or (ii) restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the prior Servicer. 10.04 SERVICER TO COOPERATE. The Servicer hereby agrees to cooperate with the successor Servicer appointed in accordance with Section 10.02 or 10.03 hereof, as applicable, in effecting the termination and transfer of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer hereunder to the successor Servicer, including, without limitation, the execution and delivery of assignments of UCC financing statements, and the transfer to the successor Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be held by the Servicer or thereafter received with respect to the Contracts and the related Contracts. The Servicer hereby agrees to transfer to any successor Servicer its electronic records and all other records, correspondence and documents relating to the Contracts and the related Contracts in the manner and at such times as the successor Servicer shall reasonably request. The Servicer hereby designates the successor Servicer its agent and attorney-in-fact to execute transfers of UCC financing statements (including any and all UCC financing statements naming an individual Obligor as debtor and the Contributor as secured party) and any other filings or instruments which may be necessary or advisable to effect such transfer of the Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder. Upon any such termination or appointment of a successor Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to each Noteholder in the manner provided in the Indenture. 41 10.05 REMEDIES NOT EXCLUSIVE. Nothing in the preceding provisions of this Section 10 shall be interpreted as limiting or restricting any rights or remedies which the Transferor, the Issuer, the Trustee, the Noteholders or any other Person would otherwise have at law or in equity on account of the breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement by the Servicer, including without limitation the right to recover full and complete damages on account thereof to the extent not inconsistent with Section 8.02 hereof. 10.06 WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS. Holders of Notes evidencing more than 50% of the Voting Rights may waive any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived. SECTION 11. ASSIGNMENT 11.01 ASSIGNMENT TO TRUSTEE. It is understood that this Agreement and all rights of the Transferor hereunder and with respect to the Contributed Property will be assigned by the Transferor to the Issuer, and then assigned by the Issuer to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Noteholders and the Swap Provider, and may be subsequently assigned by the Trustee to any successor Trustee. Each of the Contributor and the Servicer hereby expressly agrees to each such assignment and agrees that all of its duties, covenants, obligations, indemnities, representations and warranties hereunder, and all of the rights and remedies of the Transferor hereunder, shall be for the benefit of, and may be enforced directly by, the Issuer, the Trustee, the Swap Provider, the Noteholders and any successor to or assignee of any thereof. 11.02 ASSIGNMENT BY CONTRIBUTOR OR SERVICER. None of the respective rights or obligations of the Contributor and the Servicer hereunder may be assigned without the prior written consent of the Transferor and the Trustee (acting upon the instructions of the Swap Provider and Noteholders evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights); PROVIDED that nothing herein shall preclude the Servicer from performing its duties hereunder through the use of agents to the extent that such use is consistent with the Servicer's business practices in dealing with similar contracts and equipment for its own account, and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the use of an agent shall not relieve the Servicer from any of its obligations hereunder.

Each of the Contributor and Servicer hereby grants to each of the Transferor and the Trustee the power as its attorney-in-fact (i) to file UCC financing statements in the appropriate offices evidencing the conveyance of the Contracts and other Contributed Property to the Transferor and (ii) in the event an event of default exists under any Transaction Document, to do any and all other acts as may be necessary or appropriate to effect the transaction contemplated herein.

The Contributor agrees to treat the conveyances to the Transferor of the Contributor's interest in the Contracts and Equipment pursuant to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes other than taxes measured by income (including, without limitation, financial accounting purposes of the Contributor on a stand alone basis) as a sale of the Contributor's interest in the Contracts and Equipment on all relevant books, records, financial statements and other applicable documents. The execution and delivery of this Agreement shall constitute an acknowledgment by the Contributor and the Transferor that each intends that the assignment and transfer herein contemplated constitutes an outright sale and assignment to the Transferor by the Contributor of its interest in the Contracts and the other Contributed Property, 43 and not for security, conveying good title in such interests free and clear of any liens, and that such interest shall not be a part of the Contributor's estate in the event of the bankruptcy or the occurrence of another similar event, of, or with respect to, the Contributor, and that the Contributed Property shall be removed from the Contributor's estate in connection with an asset-backed transaction. In that regard, each of the Contributor and the Company each intend that each transfer of Contributed Property pursuant to this Agreement be treated as a "transfer" of an "eligible asset" (or proceeds thereof) to an "eligible entity" in connection with an "asset-backed securitization", all within the meaning of Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code and any successor section thereto. In the event that such conveyance is determined to be made as security for a loan made by the Transferor, the Issuer, the Trust or the Noteholders to the Contributor, the parties intend that the Contributor shall have granted to the Transferor, and its successors and assigns, a security interest in the Contracts and other Contributed Property and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. The conveyance to the Transferor shall be treated as a sale to the extent of cash remitted to the Contributor and shall be treated as an additional contribution to the capital of the Transferor to the extent of the excess of the Discounted Contract Balances of the Contracts conveyed over the amount of such cash. 13.02 AMENDMENT. This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties hereto, without the consent of any of the Noteholders, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein which may be inconsistent with any other provision herein or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement which shall not be materially inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, PROVIDED that such actions shall not adversely affect in any respect the interests of any Noteholder or the Swap Provider. This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties hereto with the consent of the Holders of Notes evidencing more than 50% of the Voting Rights (and with prior written notice to the Rating Agencies) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Notes; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such amendment may not, without the consent of the Swap Provider and all of the Noteholders (i) increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, collections of payments on the Contracts or distributions that are required to be made for the benefit of the Swap Provider and such Noteholders, (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Voting Rights which are required to consent to any such amendment, or (iii) modify this Section 13.02. The Servicer shall deliver copies of any amendment to this Agreement to each of the Rating Agencies, the Swap Provider and each Noteholder. 13.03 WAIVERS. No failure or delay on the part of the Transferor, the Issuer or the Trustee in exercising any power, right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy. 13.04 NOTICES.
