Termination. (a) Either Purchaser or MCC may terminate this Agreement due to any default in the performance by the other party of its material obligations under this Agreement, on written notice identifying in reasonable detail the cause for termination. Such termination shall be effective without further action or notice by the terminating party thirty (30) days after the date of such notice, unless prior to the expiration of such 30-day period the default or other cause is cured or remedied; provided, however, that if such default or other cause cannot be cured or remedied with commercially reasonable efforts within such 30-day period, the period for cure or remedy shall be extended for thirty (30) additional days on the conditions that: (i) the non-defaulting party shall have consented in writing to the extension of the cure period, which 6 consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (ii) the defaulting party shall have commenced good-faith efforts to cure or remedy such default or other cause within the initial 30-day period and shall continue to pursue such efforts diligently until the cure or remedy is accomplished. (b) Purchaser may terminate this Agreement (i) upon the occurrence of a MCC Event of Default that is not cured, if a cure is available, within the applicable cure period, a MCC Change of Control or a Portfolio Event of Default or (ii) if the Net Worth of Parent falls below $1.0 billion. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, in the event of any such termination, Purchaser shall collect and promptly remit to MCC any and all amounts in respect of any Retained Payment Rights received by Purchaser (either directly or through the Lockbox Account) after the termination date. (c) Upon any termination of this Agreement (other than any termination pursuant to subsection (a) above on account of Purchaser's default), MCC shall reimburse to Purchaser the portion of the Services Fee (as defined in Section 3.2 of the Purchase Agreement) which is unearned as of the date of the termination. The portion of the Services Fee to be reimbursed to Purchaser shall equal the unamortized portion of the Service Fee as of the termination date (calculated on a straight-line basis based upon an annual accrual of $125,000 (or $10,417 per month)). 12. Purchased Assets; Application of Amounts Received; Servicer Advances. (a) All Purchased Assets are and shall at all times be the sole and exclusive property of Purchaser, and MCC shall not have or assert any lien, claim or other right to, or interest in, such property of Purchaser. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, the originals and all copies of such property of Purchaser shall be returned to Purchaser promptly, and MCC shall have no right to withhold such property of Purchaser for any reason, including, without limitation, any dispute, offset, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that MCC might have against Purchaser; provided, however, that MCC may at all times retain (i) the Exempt Materials, and (ii) one or more copies of any documents and agreements, as may be necessary or appropriate for tax or audit purposes or as advised by counsel. (b) All Payments and other property received by MCC with respect to the Purchased Assets (other than in respect of Retained Payment Rights) shall be for the account of Purchaser, shall be deemed received and held in trust for Purchaser and, in respect of any Payments and other property received by MCC and not remitted by the applicable Account Party directly to the Lockbox Account, shall be remitted by MCC to the Lockbox Account on a date not later than two (2) Business Days following receipt of such Payment and/or other property by MCC. Subject to MCC's removal and refund rights described below in this subsection (b), all Payments remitted to the Lockbox Account shall be swept from such Lockbox Account by Purchaser on the date that is two (2) Business Days following the date of remittance of such Payments into the Lockbox Account (each such date, a "Lockbox Account Sweep Date"), provided, however, that no Payments shall be swept from the Lockbox Account during the first five (5) days of any calendar month. MCC shall not be entitled to set-off from amounts to be paid by MCC to the Lockbox Account under any provision of this Agreement any amounts purported to be owed by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to MCC or any of its Affiliates. Late charges related to any period prior to the date hereof shall be retained by MCC. Late charges 7 related to any period on or after the date hereof shall be paid to Purchaser. On the Business Day immediately following the date on which any Payments are remitted to the Lockbox Account, MCC shall provide a report to Purchaser containing such information regarding all Payments and other property remitted to the Lockbox Account on such remittance date as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser, including, without limitation, matching such Payments and other property to the corresponding Purchaser lease number. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, subject to the terms of the Lockbox Account Documents, MCC shall at all times have the right to direct the bank with whom the Lockbox Account is established to remove from the Lockbox Account and to pay to MCC, without further authorization or approval from Purchaser, all amounts deposited therein identified by the Account Party as Retained Payment Rights or to the extent such amounts have not been identified as Payments and exceed the portion of any outstanding invoices for Payments related to such Account Party. Purchaser agrees to execute such documents and agreements and to take such actions as the bank may reasonably request to effectuate the removal of such amounts from the Lockbox Account. In addition, if MCC shall determine that any other amounts in respect of any Retained Payment Rights have been remitted to the Lockbox Account, then Purchaser shall promptly refund the amount in respect of such Retained Payment Rights to MCC within five (5) Business Days following receipt of written request for such refund from MCC (provided that MCC has delivered to Purchaser reasonably satisfactory information supporting such determination by MCC). (c) Provided Purchaser is not required at such time to deliver to MCC the notice pursuant to Section 18 below, MCC agrees that, with respect to each Payment Date, MCC will remit to the Lockbox Account an amount equal to the Payments correlating thereto, less any Servicer Advance Deductions (defined below), whether or not MCC has received payment thereof from the related Account Party, which amount shall be deemed a full recourse loan by MCC to Purchaser (each such amount, being referred to herein as a "Servicer Advance"); provided, however, that MCC shall not be required to make any Servicer Advances in respect of an Account that is no longer being serviced by MCC under this Agreement or is a Non-Performing Account by virtue of clause (b), (c) or (d) of the definition thereof. MCC will make Servicer Advances in respect of any Account only in an amount up to the amount equal to three (3) monthly payments for such Account. Servicer Advances will be repaid (together with interest thereon at the rate of 4.0% percent per annum) by Purchaser on the earlier to occur of the following: (i) the date on which a Payment is, or Payments are, as applicable, subsequently received by MCC from an Account Party which represent such Servicer Advance (and MCC may retain the same in satisfaction of Purchaser's repayment obligation relating thereto, provided that any failure by MCC to retain or net out any such amount shall not impair any right of recourse by MCC against Purchaser for repayment of any Servicer Advance); (ii) the date on which the servicing contemplated herein in respect of the applicable Account is terminated; (iii) provided that MCC shall have paid Servicer Advances outstanding on such Account in an amount equal to three (3) monthly Payments, the next succeeding Payment Date (and if to be repaid on such date, the same may be netted out from MCC's then scheduled remittance to Purchaser, provided that any failure by MCC to retain or net out any such amount shall not impair any right of recourse by MCC against Purchaser for repayment of any Servicer Advance); and (iv) five (5) Business Days following the date on which Purchaser has determined such Account to be uncollectible in accordance with its customary practices or MCC has determined such Account to be uncollectible in accordance with its customary and historic practices. The "Servicer Advance 8 Deductions" shall be any amounts already remitted to the Lockbox Account in accordance with Section 12(b). (d) If an Account Party remits to MCC amounts that are not immediately identifiable as Payments, and that are not immediately identifiable as payments in respect of any Retained Payment Rights, then MCC shall apply such amounts as follows: first, to delinquent payments in the order such payments were due and to the extent such payments were due on the same date, pro rata among such payments, and second, so long as all payments due are current, to Purchaser and MCC (or if a Person other than Purchaser or MCC has an interest in such amounts (a "Third Party Purchaser"), to any such Third Party Purchaser), pro rata based on the amount of obligations then due and payable; provided, however, that if the foregoing allocation is not reasonably acceptable to any such Third Party Purchaser(s), Purchaser agrees to enter into good faith negotiations in respect of modification thereof to be undertaken with reasonable promptness upon request of MCC. (e) If MCC receives Liquidation Proceeds in respect of any Account, MCC shall apply such Liquidation Proceeds as follows: first, to the payment of any Taxes with respect to such Account, second, in respect of any delinquent amounts owed to Purchaser, MCC or any Third Party Purchaser, in the order in which such amounts became due, third, to Purchaser and to any Third Party Purchaser who has an interest in such amounts, pro rata based on, and to the extent of, the amount of obligations with respect to such Account then due and owing to Purchaser or such Third Party Purchaser, and fourth, to MCC to the extent of its Residual Interest; provided, however, that if the foregoing allocation is not reasonably acceptable to such Third Party Purchaser(s), Purchaser agrees to enter into good faith negotiations in respect of modification thereof to be undertaken with reasonable promptness upon request of MCC. (f) To the extent that MCC receives amounts relating to Taxes with respect to an Account, whether or not constituting part of the collections relating to such Account, MCC shall cause the same to be remitted to the relevant taxing authority in order to satisfy any valid, uncontested obligations in respect of such Taxes. In addition, if any Account Party remits amounts relating to Taxes to the Lockbox Account, MCC shall at all times have the right, without further authorization or approval from Purchaser, to direct the bank with whom the Lockbox Account is established to remove the same from the Lockbox Account and pay such amounts to MCC, and MCC shall cause such amounts to be remitted to the relevant taxing authority in order to satisfy any valid, uncontested obligations in respect of such Taxes. Purchaser agrees to execute such documents and agreements and to take such actions as the bank may reasonably request to effectuate the removal of such amounts from the Lockbox Account. 13.

Invoicing and Notices. MCC will invoice customers for lease payments, rental payments, taxes, late charges and miscellaneous billings. Invoices shall be in the same format (including billing headers) as disclosed by MCC to Purchaser prior to the date hereof, or as used by MCC immediately prior to the date hereof or in such other form as customarily used by MCC from time to time and approved by Purchaser. No material changes shall be made to the form, and no changes shall be made to the substance, of the invoices without the prior written approval of Purchaser, except to the extent required by law or regulation. 2. Collections. MCC will make collection efforts with respect to Accounts as specified in the Customer Service and Collection Procedures. MCC will provide status reports on overall delinquencies and on individual accounts as reasonably requested by Purchaser, including detail of all material actions taken by MCC with regard to any delinquent accounts. MCC will follow any special Purchaser policies or instructions related to the collection of Non-Performing Accounts, provided that such policies and instructions are not inconsistent with the relevant Account Document and do not require MCC to incur additional unreimbursable expenses. As necessary, subject to Purchaser's written approval, and on behalf of Purchaser, MCC will retain and manage outside legal counsel to obtain judgments and assist in the collection of defaults. Any compromise, restructuring or settlement of any claim with respect to any lease or rental agreement or Equipment, together with any amendment entered into during the existence of a Default (as defined in the applicable Account Document), shall be subject to the prior written approval of Purchaser, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. Purchaser may, upon prior written notice to MCC, assume all servicing responsibilities with respect to a Non-Performing Account, including without limitation directly enforcing remedies as lessor or rentor under such Account Document. In the event of any such assumption, Purchaser shall collect and promptly remit to MCC any and all Ancillary Payment or Residual Interest amounts received by Purchaser (either directly or through the Lockbox Account) after the assumption date. In the event that Purchaser shall assume servicing responsibilities pursuant to this Section 2, MCC will notify the applicable Account Parties of such assumption by sending a letter in the form of Exhibit C hereto to such Account Parties, and MCC shall furnish Purchaser with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable Purchaser to carry out its servicing responsibilities, and MCC shall cooperate with Purchaser to the fullest extent in order to ensure the collectability of the Purchased Assets. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, all reasonable, out-of-pocket Account collection and enforcement costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) incurred by MCC, as agent for Purchaser, in connection with and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement shall be paid by Purchaser (or promptly reimbursed to MCC if such reasonable cost or expense is advanced by MCC for any reason) and MCC shall have no liability for, or obligation to pay, any such costs or expenses. With respect to collections, MCC will follow its existing procedures, except as may be inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, provided that MCC may make modifications to such procedures that are not material to Purchaser, provided further that material modifications to such procedures will require the prior written approval of Purchaser. 3.

(a) MCC shall, consistent with the Customer Service and Collection Procedures, use commercially reasonable efforts to collect the amounts owed pursuant to any Account Document related to a Non-Performing Account including, to the extent appropriate, taking non-judicial action to accelerate and collect all amounts due under any such Account Document. If a Non-Performing Account is more than one hundred and twenty (120) days delinquent, or if a Non-Performing Account is delinquent for less than one hundred twenty (120) days and MCC determines that prompt commencement of litigation or repossession is warranted with respect to such Non-Performing Account, then, if (i) in the reasonable opinion of MCC the anticipated costs are not likely outweighed by the anticipated realization benefit, and (ii) Purchaser has so instructed MCC and agreed to indemnify MCC on account of all costs and expenses incurred by MCC in relation thereto, MCC shall bring an action against the Account Party for all amounts due under any Account Document related to such Non-Performing Account and/or institute proceedings to repossess and sell or re-market the Equipment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, MCC shall not accelerate any scheduled Payment unless permitted to do so by the terms of the relevant Account Document or under applicable Law.

(b) MCC shall use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with the Customer Service and Collection Procedures, to accelerate, repossess, or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of any Equipment that it has reasonably determined should be repossessed or otherwise converted following a default under any Account or upon the expiration of the term of any Account Document, and then sell or re-market such Equipment. MCC shall follow such practices and procedures as are consistent with the Customer Service and Collection Procedures and as it shall deem necessary or advisable and as shall be customary and usual in its servicing of equipment contracts and other actions by MCC in order to realize upon such Account, which may include commercially reasonable efforts to enforce, as agent for Purchaser, any recourse obligations of Account Parties and repossessing and selling the Equipment at public or private sale.
