TRANSFER OF TRANSFERRED ASSETS
SECTION 2.1 Initial Contribution. On the Initial Closing

assign, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to the Issuer, as a
contribution to the capital of the Issuer, all the right, title and
interest of SPV in and to the Initial Transferred Assets, by executing
and delivering to the Issuer an assignment, substantially in the form of
Exhibit A (the "Initial Assignment"). In connection with the Initial
Assignment, effective with the transfer of the Initial Transferred Assets
to the Issuer hereunder, the Issuer hereby assumes all of the obligations
under the Existing Notes.
SECTION 2.2 Subsequent Transfers. On each date following the
Initial Closing Date when a Lease SUBI Allocation Event occurs, subject
to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions set forth herein, SPV
shall sell, assign, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to the Issuer
all of SPV's right, title and interest in, to and under the Additional
Transferred Assets, by executing and delivering to the Issuer an
assignment, substantially in the form of Exhibit B (an "Additional
Assignment").
SECTION 2.3 Additional Transferred Asset Closings; Payment.
The consummation of each transfer contemplated by Section 2.2 shall take

In consideration of the transfer of Additional Transferred

a valid assignment, transfer and conveyance of all right, title and
interest of SPV in, to and under the Transferred Assets despite the
intent of the parties hereto, SPV hereby grants a first priority
"security interest" (as defined in the UCC as in effect in the State of

Issuer and the parties agree that this Agreement shall constitute a
security agreement under the UCC in effect in New York.
The foregoing assignments, transfers and conveyances pursuant
to this Article II do not constitute and are not intended to result in
the creation of any obligation of the Issuer other than the Issuer's
obligations to SPV under this Agreement and do not constitute and are not
intended to result in the assumption by the Issuer of any obligation of
SPV or any other Person in connection with the Transferred Assets or any
agreement or instrument relating thereto, including any obligation to any
Obligor under any Lease Agreement or Fleet Service Contract.

(ii) Interim automobile liability insurance coverage with
Continental Casualty Company (or other nationally recognized
insurance company with a rating of at least A by A.M. Best),

Insured"). Each policy of insurance required under the provisions of this
section shall contain an endorsement by the insurer that any loss shall be
payable in accordance with the terms of such policy notwithstanding any act
or negligence of the Servicer or other insured that might otherwise give rise
to a defense by the insurer to its payment of such loss. Each policy shall
expressly provide that all provisions thereof, except liability for premiums
(which shall be solely a liability of the Servicer) and the limits of the
insurer's liability under the policy shall operate in the same manner as if
there were a separate policy covering each Additional Insured. Each such
policy shall provide that if such insurance is to be canceled, terminated or
materially changed for any reason whatsoever, the insurers (or their
representatives) will promptly notify the Additional Insureds, and any such
cancellation, termination or change shall not be effective until 30 days (10
days for non-payment of premium) after receipt of such notice by the
Additional Insureds.
(c) The Servicer will advise the Additional Insureds in writing
promptly of any default in the payment of any premium and of any other act or
omission on the part of the Servicer which may invalidate or render

promptly upon request and in any event within 30 days after the end of each
fiscal year of the Servicer, a certificate signed by an authorized officer of
the Servicer (x) attaching certificates of all insurance policies relating to

Servicing Agreement.
(b) With reference to Section 2.16(b) of the Servicing Agreement,
whenever a successor to the Servicer by merger or consolidation is required

by the successor of the Servicer's obligations under the Servicing Agreement,
such agreement also must contain a similar assumption of the Servicer's
obligations under this Supplement.
Section 7.9. Indemnification.
The Servicer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the UTI
Holder, the Origination Trust, the Trustees and their respective agents, SPV,
the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Investor Noteholders,
for any and all liabilities, losses, damages and expenses that may be
incurred as a result of any negligent act or omission by the Servicer in

Units so that, from and after the time of the allocation of Sold Units to the
1999-1A SUBI Portfolio, the Servicer's master computer records (including any
backup archives) that refer to a Sold Unit shall indicate clearly the
interest of the Issuer therein allocated at the UTI Trustee's direction by
the Origination Trustee to the 1999-1A SUBI Portfolio. The Servicer shall
maintain its computer systems relating to the Fleet Receivables so that, from
and after the time of the allocation of the Fleet Receivables to the 1999-1B

or any assignee or pledgee thereof therein.
Section 7.14. Amendment of Leases.
So long as the 1999-1A SUBI Certificate is outstanding, the Servicer

would (x) decrease any amount payable under such Lease upon the early

expiration thereof or (y) extend the final termination date for such Lease if
such Lease would not have been an Eligible Lease at the time it was first
included in the Aggregate Lease Balance had such extension been effected at
such time or (ii) convert the floating interest rate under any Lease to a
-13-
<PAGE>
rate which is lower than the greater of (x) the fixed rate into which such
floating rate is converted in accordance with such Lease and (y) one half

the 1999-1A SUBI on the Initial Closing Date were Eligible Master Leases as

Agreements included in the Initial Aggregate Lease Balance were Eligible
Leases as of the Initial Cut-Off Date and (iii) all of the Consumer Leases
allocated to the 1999-1A SUBI on the Initial Closing Date were Eligible
Consumer Leases as of the Initial Cut-Off Date.
(b) At the time of its origination of a new Lease under a Master Lease
Agreement allocated to the 1999-1A SUBI Portfolio pursuant to Section 2.2 of
the Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall determine whether such Lease is
an Eligible Lease and, if it so determines that a new Lease is an Eligible
Lease and, as a result thereof, increases the Aggregate Lease Balance to
include such Lease, the Servicer shall be deemed to have represented to the
holder of the 1999-1A SUBI Certificate and each assignee or pledgee thereof
that such Lease constitutes an Eligible Lease as of the first date on which
such Lease is included by the Servicer in the Aggregate Lease Balance.
(c) In connection with, and as a condition to, any allocation of a new
Master Lease Agreement to the 1999-1A SUBI Portfolio pursuant to Section
11.2(b) of the 1999-1A Sold SUBI Supplement, the Servicer shall determine

through (e) (each a "Certification") shall survive delivery of the related
Certification. Upon discovery by SPV, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or
the Servicer that any such Certification was incorrect when made or deemed
made and such breach of representation and warranty materially and adversely
affects the collectibility of, or the interest of the holder of the 1999-1A
SUBI Certificate, or any assignee or pledgee thereof in, such Master Lease

such Paid-In-Advance Vehicle, as the case may be), (ii) purchase such Master
Lease Agreement, such Consumer Lease or such Lease and the related Leased
Vehicle or Vehicles or such Paid-In-Advance Vehicles from the Origination
Trust, and (iii) indemnify, defend and hold harmless the holders of any 1999-
