                                                                            [***] TEXT OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY
                                                                                   CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
                                         SUPPLEMENT TO SERVICING AGREEMENT

                                           (With Consent and Agreement)

         This  SUPPLEMENT TO SERVICING  AGREEMENT  “Supplement”)  is entered into this 22nd day of May 2000, by and
among WEST CAPITAL FINANCIAL  SERVICES CORP.  (“West”),  a California  corporation,  as servicer (as servicer,  the
“Current Servicer”),  WEST CAPITAL RECEIVABLES  CORPORATION I, a California  corporation (the “Borrower”),  NORWEST
BANK  MINNESOTA,   NATIONAL  ASSOCIATION,  as  collateral  agent  (the  “Collateral  Agent”),  and  MIDLAND  CREDIT
MANAGEMENT, INC., a Kansas corporation (individually “MCM” or as the successor servicer, the “Servicer”).

                                                          RECITALS

                   A.       The  Current  Servicer,  the  Borrower  and the  Collateral  Agent are  parties to that
certain Servicing  Agreement,  dated as of January 29, 1998 (the “Current  Servicing  Agreement”).  Pursuant to the
Current Servicing Agreement,  the Current Servicer services,  on behalf of the Borrower and the Collateral Agent, a
pool of  charged-off  consumer  accounts that are owned by the Borrower  (the  “Pool”).  The Pool is pledged by the
Borrower to the Collateral  Agent as security for the  obligations of the Borrower  pursuant to that certain Credit
Agreement,  dated as of January 29, 1998, by and among the Borrower,  Daiwa Finance Corporation  (“Daiwa”),  as the
lender  (the  “Lender”),  and West,  as the seller and the  servicer  (as  amended,  the “Credit  Agreement”),  and
pursuant to the Note (as defined below).  Pursuant to the Credit  Agreement,  the Borrower issued a certain Note to
the Lender,  dated January 29, 1998, in the original  principal  amount of Sixty Million  Dollars  ($60,000,000.00)
(the  “Note”).  The Lender  has  participated  a portion of the Note to  SunAmerica  Inc.,  a Delaware  Corporation
(“SunAmerica”),  and may further participate the Note to third parties (SunAmerica,  as such participant,  and such
additional participants,  collectively, the “Participants”).  The Credit Agreement has been amended by that certain
First Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated June 28, 1999.

                  B.       There are currently  one or more Events of Default,  as defined in, and pursuant to, the
Credit  Agreement,  and  Servicer  Termination  Events,  as defined  in, and  pursuant  to, the  Current  Servicing
Agreement,  which give the  Collateral  Agent on behalf of the Lender the current  right to  terminate  the Current
Servicer as servicer under and pursuant to the Current Servicing Agreement.  Additionally,  the Current Servicer is
having  liquidity  difficulties  and has  advised the Lender that it likely will not be able to continue to service
the Pool.

                  C.       West  has  agreed  to sell  its  servicing  platform  and  certain  other  assets  to an
affiliate  of MCM pursuant to that  certain  Asset  Purchase  Agreement,  dated as of May 11, 2000,  by and between
Midland Acquisition  Corporation,  a Delaware corporation,  and West (the “Purchase Agreement”).  MCM is willing to
assume the  obligations  as successor  servicer to the Current  Servicer,  pursuant to the terms and  conditions of
this Supplement.  The Borrower,  the Lender, the Collateral Agent and the Participants are willing to accept MCM as
the successor servicer.

                  NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the premises and the mutual  promises herein made, and in
consideration of the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

                                                         1

EX-105th Page of 14TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 5th
responsibility or liability for any acts or omissions (i) of the Current Servicer, or (ii) of any person or events occurring prior to the Effective Date or on or after the Expiration Date. 2.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the Credit Agreement or any of the Program Documents, the parties hereto acknowledge that after the Effective Date, West, the Current Servicer, intends to wind down its activities and shall not take any actions to collect the Pool. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree (a) that from and after the Effective Date, the Current Servicer shall have no further obligations under the Servicing Agreement, (b) that each of West and the Borrower (each of West and Borrower, in any capacity, the “West Parties”) will have no liability to any of the parties hereto resulting from or arising out of actions or omissions taken by any person (other than such West Party) from and after the Effective Date and (c) that the Collateral Agent, the Servicer and the Lender covenant not to sue any West Party for any such action. 2.3 The parties hereto agree that the West Parties shall not be required to comply with or perform under the covenants contained in (i) Sections 5.01(c)(second sentence only), 5.01(d)(provisions relating compliance with Collection Policies and Procedures only), 5.01(e)(ii), 5.01(h), 5.01(i), 5.01(j), 5.01 (m) and 5.01(o) and Article 6 of the Credit Agreement (ii) Sections 5(d)(last sentence only, which shall be an obligation of the Servicer), 5(e), 6.02(a)(clause (ii) of which shall be an obligation of the Servicer), 6.02(d), 6.03(second sentence only, which shall be an obligation of the Servicer) and 6.05(which investment direction shall be provided by the Lender) of the Security Agreement and (iii) Sections 5.01(b)(second and third sentences only), 5.01(c), 5.01(e), 5.01(f), 5.01(h), 5.01(i), 5.01(k), 6.01, 6.02, 6.03, 6.04, 6.05, 6.06 and 9.04 and Article 8 of the Receivable Acquisition Agreement. Lender acknowledges that the principal place of business and chief executive office of the West Parties shall be moved to the address set forth under the Borrowers signature on this Supplement. Lender acknowledges that any action taken by Servicer is not an action taken by Borrower. 2.4 The Borrower, the Lender, the Servicer and the Participants further agree that at any time after the Effective Date the Borrower may, at its option, transfer to the Lender (and the Participants) all of its right, title and interest in and to the Pool in satisfaction of all of the Borrower's obligations to the Lender under the Program Documents. Upon any such Transfer, the Lender, the Servicer and the Participants shall enter into a new servicing agreement containing provisions substantially similar (but with the same economic terms) to the Servicing Agreement. 2.5 All obligations and liabilities of the West Parties under the Credit Agreement, all Program Documents and this Supplement from and after the Effective Date shall be limited to the proceeds of the Pool, and the Servicer and the Lender agree to look solely to such proceeds for any recourse for reimbursement of any fees, expenses, damages, losses, obligations, liabilities or breaches under such documents; provided, however, that recourse for the obligations and liabilities of the Current Servicer existing prior to the Effective Date under the Current Servicing Agreement shall not be so limited. ARTICLE III FORBEARANCE During the Forbearance Period (1) none of the Collateral Agent, Lender, Daiwa, or any Participant shall (A) exercise any rights or remedies pursuant to the Program Documents 6


EX-106th Page of 14TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 6th
with respect to any Existing Defaults, or (B) prior to the occurrence and continuation of a Servicer Termination Event, sell or direct or instruct the sale of any of the Designated Receivables, except as provided in Section 4.6 of this Supplement, and (ii) interest on the Note shall accrue at the Interest Rate as if none of the Existing Defaults occurred or are continuing, provided, that, upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event interest on the Note shall accrue, from and after the Effective Date, at the interest rate applicable for the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default. From and after the Expiration Date, each of the Collateral Agent, the Lender, Daiwa, and any Participant may exercise any rights or remedies that it may have pursuant to any of the Program Documents as a result of any of (i) the Existing Defaults or (ii) any Event of Default or Servicer Termination Event as defined in and pursuant to the Credit Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, respectively. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Borrower becomes subject to, and is a debtor, directly or by consolidation with West or any other affiliate of West in any bankruptcy proceeding, each of the Collateral Agent, the Lender, Daiwa, and any Participant may exercise any rights or remedies that it may have pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Servicing Agreement or any of the Program Documents provided that none of them shall take any action or consent to any action that results or may result in (i) the liquidation or sale of any of the Designated Accounts other than as provided in this Supplement, (ii) removal of the Servicer other than as provided in this Supplement, (iii) any reduction, limit or delay of the payment of any fees or compensation or amounts payable to the Servicer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, or (iv) the impairment, limitation or restriction of any rights, powers or remedies that the Servicer may have pursuant to the Servicing Agreement. ARTICLE IV SERVICING 4.1 Successor Servicer Appointment. MCM is hereby appointed the successor servicer from and after the Effective Date. MCM shall serve as Servicer during the Servicing Term subject to the Lender's and the Collateral Agent's right to (i) terminate the Servicer without cause, upon the Collateral Agent, at the direction of the Lender, giving the Servicer not less than 270 days' prior written notice of such termination, provided, that, no such prior written notice of termination shall be given prior to September 1, 2000, or (ii) remove the Servicer, at the direction of the Lender, upon the occurrence and continuation of a Servicer Termination Event. Except as may be required under Article 7 of the Purchase Agreement, MCM as Servicer shall have no duty, obligation or liability with respect to any obligations, liabilities or responsibilities of the Current Servicer accruing or to be performed prior to the Effective Date. MCM as Servicer makes no representations or warranties regarding (i) any of the Designated Receivables, (ii) the performance of the Current Servicer pursuant to the Current Servicing Agreement or (iii) the Borrower or West or any other party, other than the Servicer, with respect to, or relating to, any of the Program Documents. All information regarding the Designated Receivables provided by MCM in carrying out its obligations under the Servicing Agreement, whether in the form of the Servicer Reports or otherwise, shall be based solely upon MCM's actual knowledge concerning such information and MCM makes no representation or warranty otherwise. Except as specifically contemplated hereby, the Servicer shall not make any arrangement with respect to any Designated Receivable under which any third party has a Lien on any Designated Receivable. Any referral by the Servicer of any Designated Receivable to a third-party servicer, attorney or collection agency shall be in the conformity with the Collection Policies. 7

Notwithstanding any provision in the Program Documents, the right of the Servicer to receive the Base Servicing Fee and the Additional Servicing Fee shall be senior in right of payment or distribution to any other person or entity pursuant to the Program Documents, other than the payment of the Collateral Agent Fee and Expenses to the Collateral Agent and fees payable to the backup servicer, if any. 4.3 Standard of Care. MCM shall carry out its obligations and perform its duties under the Servicing Agreement using the degree of skill and attention that MCM exercises with respect to all comparable defaulted consumer receivables that it services for itself or others. Notwithstanding the foregoing and any other provisions to the contrary contained in this Supplement or the Servicing Agreement, except for the payment, deposit and distribution of monies or a breach of a covenant of the Servicer in the Servicing Agreement, MCM shall be liable in connection with the performance of its duties under the Servicing Agreement only for its gross negligence or willful misconduct. 4.4 Lockbox Reports, Information and Insurance. (a) Lockbox. The Servicer shall perform as required of the "Servicer" pursuant to Section 6.01 of the Security Agreement with respect to the Lockbox. (b) Servicer Report. The Servicer shall deliver the Servicer Report at such times as the "Monthly Servicer Report" was required to have been delivered pursuant to the Current Servicing Agreement. The Servicer shall only represent and warrant that the information in the Servicer Reports is correct as to the knowledge of the Servicer. In addition, the Servicer will, at its expense, also provide such additional reports and such information regarding the Pool, and collections and distributions thereof as is reasonably requested by West or the Borrower, including without limitation in connection with financial and tax reporting, provided that, all such information shall be solely to the Servicer's actual knowledge without any further representation or warranty. If the Servicer is requested by the Lender to provide any reports or information other than the Servicer Report, the Servicer shall promptly be paid, as additional servicing fee, according to the Applicable Hourly Rate for providing such additional reports or information. (c) Financial Statements. So long as the parent corporation of MCM is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13(d) or (g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Servicer shall not be required to deliver copies of its quarterly and annual financial statements at the times set forth under to Section 2.05(b) and (c) of the Servicing Agreement, but shall instead deliver copies of such financial information at the time the parent corporation of MCM makes its filings on Form 10-Q or 10K for such period. (d) Insurance. The policy limits for the errors and omissions policy and the general comprehensive liability policy required pursuant to Section 2.01(g) of the Servicing Agreement shall be $3,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 in the aggregate. 8

4.5 Exhausted Receivables and Bankruptcy Receivables. (a) Recall Exhausted Receivables. Each Servicer Report shall contain a listing of Exhausted Receivables. The Lender may at any time, upon written notice to the Servicer, recall servicing (for the benefit of Lender and the Participants) in connection with any Exhausted Receivables and remove the Servicer as servicer of such Exhausted Receivables. Upon such removal the Servicer shall cease servicing such Exhausted Receivables and shall promptly turn over to the Lender, or to such person or entity identified by the Lender, the original collection file, including collector comments for such removed Exhausted Receivables. The Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the removal, transfer or transition of any such removed Exhausted Receivable. If the Servicer shall receive any collections after such removal such collections shall be counted as Servicer Fee Collections. Any sale proceeds of such Exhausted Receivables shall not be considered Net Collections. (b) Sale of Certain Receivables. From time to time the Servicer may sell Exhausted Receivables with the prior written consent of the Lender and upon such terms and conditions acceptable to the Lender. The Servicer may also sell all Bankruptcy Receivables consistent with the Current Servicer's historic practices and procedures. The Servicer shall deliver to the Lender and the Collateral Agent no later than three (3) Business Days preceding the date of such sales a certificate of the Servicer identifying the Bankruptcy Receivables (as the case may be) to be sold, and the general terms upon which the Servicer plans to sell such Designated Receivables. The Borrower hereby grants to the Servicer a limited power of attorney for the sole purpose of selling, pursuant to this Section 4.5, Exhausted Receivables and Bankruptcy Receivables on an as-is-where-is basis, without representation or warranty (express or implied) by the Borrower, without indemnity by or further obligation or liability on the part of the Borrower, and with an express acknowledgement from the buyer of such receivables give any representations or warranties in connection with any such sale (other than customary representations and warranties solely with regard to its servicing of the Designated Receivables to be sold), and the Borrower shall not be required to give any representation or warranty in connection with any such sale (other than reasonable and customary representations regarding (a) due incorporation, (b) due authorization, execution and delivery, (c) title, and (d) absence of litigation, in each case only to the extent the Borrower is able to give such representation or warranty and in each case with such disclosure as the Borrower in its sole and absolute discretion deems appropriate). 4.6 Sale of all Designated Receivables. The Collateral Agent or the Borrower, with the consent of the Lender, may sell all, or substantially all, of the Designated Receivables then subject to the Servicing Agreement upon payment to the Servicer directly from the proceeds of such sale (i) all accrued and unpaid Base Service Fees and Additional Servicing Fees, and (ii) a breakage fee (the “Breakage Fee”) (as computed below): 9

Months in Servicing Term in which Sale Occurs Breakage Fee* 1 - 6 6 month Servicing Fee 7 - 12 4 month Servicing Fee 13 - 18 2 month Servicing Fee 19 - 24 None Provided that, no Breakage Fee shall be payable if, at the time of the sale, either (i) the Borrower and the Designated Receivables are subject to a pending Bankruptcy proceeding as a direct result of an action of the Servicer or any affiliate of the Servicer, or (ii) there is a continuing Servicer Termination Event that has not been waived by the Lender; provided further, that, no such fee shall be paid if the Servicer or an Affiliate continues to service the Designated Receivables for the purchaser thereof. *The relevant Servicing Fee for the Breakage Fee shall be computed on the basis of the sum of the Base Servicing Fee and the Additional Servicing Fee during the prior 6-month, 4-month and 2-month period, as applicable. The Servicer shall be given not less than 30 days prior written notice of such sale, which notice shall identify the Designated Receivables to be sold and contain the proposed date of such sale and the manner in which the sale shall be effected. The Servicer shall, at its cost and expense, cooperate with (based upon reasonable requests by) the Collateral Agent, the Borrower and the Lender to effect any such sale, provided, that, if such sale does not close, the Servicer shall be promptly paid, as additional servicing fee, according to the Applicable Hourly Rate for such cooperation. The Servicer shall not be required to give any representation or warranties (other than customary representations and warranties solely with regard to its servicing of the Designated Receivables to be sold) in connection with any such sale and the Borrower shall not be required to give any representation or warranty in connection with any such sale (other than reasonable and customary representations regarding (a) due incorporation, (b) due authorization, execution and delivery, (c) title, and (d) absence of litigation, in each case only to the extent the Borrower is able to give such representation or warranty and in each case with such disclosure as the Borrower in its sole and absolute discretion deems appropriate).. To the extent that any Designated Receivable sold hereunder is subject to any pending collection and/or contingent fee agreement, other than the Servicing Agreement, then the transfer of such Designated Receivable shall be made subject to the rights of any such entity or person and the terms of such sale shall require the purchaser to assume the collection and/or contingent fee agreement to the extent applicable to a Designated Receivable for which either (i) judgment has been entered and continues to be valid, or (ii) there is and continues to be a valid and enforceable payment plan. 4.7 Liquidity Event. The Servicer shall also be paid an additional fee upon the closing of a Liquidity Event in such amount as is mutually agreeable by the Servicer and the Lender; provided, that any fee that exceeds 2.5% of the consideration received shall require the written consent of the Participants. 4.8 Information Furnished. Section 2.04(e) of the Servicing Agreement shall be amended as to the Servicer to read as follows: 10


EX-1010th Page of 14TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 10th
All information furnished by the Servicer to the Borrower, the Lender or the Collateral Agent, with respect to the Designated Receivables and the Collections will, to the best knowledge of the Servicer, be true and correct in all material respects at the time such information is furnished. 4.9 Indemnity. The Current Servicer and its assigns, transferees, participants, employees and officers shall also be an “Indemnified Party.” Section 5.09(h) of the Servicing Agreement shall be amended to read in its entirety as follows: Any claim brought by any person (other than an Indemnified Party) against an Indemnified Party arising from (i) any gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Servicer, its employees, or any of its affiliates in servicing, administering or collecting any Designated Receivables or (ii) any failure of the Servicer to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to the collection of any Designated Receivables. 4.10 Inapplicable Provisions. The following provisions of the Servicing Agreement shall be deleted: (i) Section 2. 01(f) (ii) Exhibit B; (ii) Clause (a) of Section 3.02; (iii) Section 5.06; and (iv) Sections 5.09(a) through (g). 4.11 Court Costs in Litigation Process. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Servicing Agreement or any of the Program Documents, the Servicer is authorized to apply funds collected by third-party collections attorneys to the reimbursement of court costs advanced by such attorneys in other collections lawsuits filed with respect to Designated Receivables placed for collection litigation. 4.12 Provisions for Incurred Expenses. In the event that the Servicer ceases to be the servicer of all or a portion of the Designated Receivables due to the sale of Designated Receivables or the exercise of the Lender's remedies following a Servicer Termination Event, the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement, as additional servicing fee, for previously unreimbursed court costs advanced with respect to Designated Receivables that are at the time of termination of servicing or at any time prior to termination of servicing subject to litigation. ARTICLE V REPRESENTATIONS OF MCM The Servicer hereby makes the following representations in substitution for Section 2.03 the Servicing Agreement, on which the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, the 11


EX-1011th Page of 14TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 11th
Lender and the Participants are relying in accepting MCM as the successor servicer. The representations shall speak both as of the execution and delivery of this Supplement and on the Effective Date. 5.1 Organization and Good Standing. MCM is duly organized and validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the state of its incorporation, with corporate power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business as such properties are currently owned and such business is presently conducted, and has full corporate power, authority and legal right to service the Designated Receivables and to perform its obligations pursuant to the Servicing Agreement. 5.2 Due Qualification. MCM is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing, and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business (including the servicing of the Designated Receivables) requires such qualification, licenses and approvals except where the failure to be qualified or to obtain such qualifications, licenses and approvals would not have a material adverse effect on its abilities to service the Designated Receivables and to perform its obligations pursuant to the Servicing Agreement. 5.3 Power and Authority. MCM has the corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Supplement and to carry out its terms and the terms of the Servicing Agreement; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Supplement and the Servicing Agreement have been duly authorized by MCM by all necessary corporate action. 5.4 Binding Obligations. This Supplement and the Servicing Agreement constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of MOM, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally or by general principles of equity (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 5.5 No Violation. The fulfillment by MCM of the terms of this Supplement and the Servicing Agreement do not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, nor constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under, the articles of incorporation or bylaws of MCM, or conflict with or breach any of the material terms or provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under, any material indenture or agreement to which MCM is a party or by which it shall be bound; nor violate, any law, order, rule or regulation applicable to MCM of any court or of any federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over MCM or its properties; which breach, default, conflict, Lien or violation would have, or would have, a material adverse effect. 5.6 Reguired Consents. All approvals, authorizations and consents of any Person required in connection with the execution and delivery by MCM of this Supplement, the performance by MCM of the transactions contemplated by this Supplement and the Servicing Agreement and the fulfillment by MCM of the terms hereof and thereof have been obtained (or will be obtained prior to the time required) and are in full force and effect, if the failure to have such would have a material adverse affect on the ability of the Servicer to perform pursuant to the Servicing Agreement. 5.7 No Litigation. There are no lawsuits, administrative proceeds or investigations pending or, to the best knowledge of the Servicer, overtly threatened against the 12


Servicer  before  any  court,   regulatory   body,   administrative   agency  or  other  tribunal  or  governmental
instrumentality  relating to the Servicer's  collection  activities  which, if adversely  determined,  would have a
material adverse effect on the ability of the Servicer to perform pursuant to the Servicing Agreement.

                  5.8      Compliance.  The Servicer has complied  with all  Requirements  of Law in respect of the
conduct of its  business  and  ownership of its  property,  except where the failure to comply does not  materially
adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations  hereunder or has no reasonable  likelihood of resulting in
any material liability for the Borrower, the Lender and the Collateral Agent.

                                                    ARTICLE VI

                  6.1      Servicer  Termination  Events.  The occurrence of any one of the following  events shall
with  respect to the  Servicer be a “Servicer  Termination  Even”  which are in full  substitution  for the Service
Termination Events contained in Section 4.01 of the Current Servicing Agreement.

                  (a)      the Servicer  fails to make any payment,  transfer or deposit  pursuant to the Servicing
Agreement on the day when due, in each case that  continues  unremedied for a period of two (2) Business Days after
the earlier to occur of (x) actual  discovery by a Responsible  Officer of the  Servicer,  or (y) the date on which
written notice requiring the same to be remedied has been given to the Servicer by Lender;

                  (b)      any  representation  or  warranty  made  by  the  Servicer  in  this  Supplement  or the

have been  incorrect  in any material  respect  when made and such is not cured  within  thirty (30) days after the
earlier  to occur of (x) actual  discovery  by a  Responsible  Officer  of the  Servicer,  or (y) the date on which
written  notice  requiring  the same to be remedied  has been given to the Servicer by Lender;  provided,  however,
that if any such breach is reasonably  remediable within 180 days after its occurrence,  such breach shall not be a
Servicer  Termination  Event  hereunder  for such  period  of time  (but not  longer  than 180 days  following  the
occurrence thereof) as the Servicer is attempting to remedy it;

                  (c)      any  failure on the part of the  Servicer  to observe or  perform  any  covenant  of the
Servicer set forth in the Servicing  Agreement  which is not cured within 30 days after the earlier to occur of (x)
actual  discovery by responsible  officer of the Servicer,  or (y) the date on which written  notice  requiring the
same to remedied has been given to the Servicer by the Lender;

                  (d)      the  Servicer  shall  fail  to  deliver  any  monthly  Servicer  Report  required  to be
delivered under the Servicing  Agreement on or before the day when due, and such failure  continues  unremedied for
a period of three (3) Business Days;

                  (e)      it shall  become  unlawful  for any reason for the  Servicer  to continue to service the
Designated  Receivables or otherwise  perform its obligations  under the Servicing  Agreement or the Servicer shall
cease to possess all material and necessary  licenses to carry out its obligations  under the Servicing  Agreement;
provided if the Servicer can continue

servicing the Designated  Receivables  and perform its  obligations  under the Servicing  Agreement  without one or
more  material  and  necessary  licenses  that the failure to have does not have a material  adverse  effect on the
Lender or the Servicer's  performance  under the Servicing  Agreement,  the Servicer shall have ninety (90) days to
obtain such licenses after the earlier to occur of (x) actual  discovery by a Responsible  Officer of the Servicer,
or (y) the date on which  written  notice  requiring  the same to be  remedied  has been given to the  Servicer  by
Lender;

                  (f)      For any  Measurement  Period ending on or after  September 30, 2000, both (i) the Lender

was also a Shortfall for the  immediately-preceding  Measurement Period for the Collection  Measurement Period then
ended;  provided that no Servicer  Termination Event shall occur under this clause (f) if and to the extent that as
of the last day of any  Measurement  Period (A) the aggregate  Lender Net  Collections  from all prior  Measurement
Periods exceeded 90% of the Projected Lender Net Collections from all such prior  Measurement  Periods such surplus
then exceeds the  applicable  Shortfall (as determined in clause (i) above) in the current  Collection  Measurement
Period or (B) the Servicer pays to the Lender for  application  to the amounts owing pursuant to the Note an amount
equal to or greater than the applicable  Shortfall (as  determined in clause (i) above after  application of clause
(A) above) in the current Collection Measurement Period;

                  (g)       the  Servicer's  consolidated  stockholder's  equity  as  required  to be  shown on its
consolidated financial statements is less than $5,000,000;

relating to it or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property;

                  (i)      a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory  authority having  jurisdiction in
the premises for the  appointment  of a  conservator,  receiver or liquidator in any  insolvency,  readjustment  of
debt,  marshalling of assets and  liabilities or similar  proceedings,  or for the winding-up or liquidation of its
affairs,  shall have been  entered  against the  Servicer  and such  decree or order  shall have  remained in force
undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days;

                  (j)      the  Servicer  shall be in  default  in the  payment  of any debt in excess of  $100,000
beyond any applicable grace or cure period and which default is not currently waived;

                  (k)      the  Servicer  shall be in  breach  in the  performance  of any  material  agreement  or
material  contract  beyond any  applicable  grace or cure period and such breach is not cured or  currently  waived
within forty-five (45) days of such breach; or

                  (l)      the  removal of the  Servicer  as  Servicer  under any  securitization  of the  Servicer
