5. The Marketplace

In addition to the general guidelines on use of any portion of the Website to access our services, the following guidelines apply to any User’s access to the Marketplace.

(a) Marketplace Process

A request for proposal using Marketplace (a “RFP”) is initiated by a User seeking lease financing (the “RFP Author”) and released to potential financing sources. The RFP must set forth an actual (not fictitious) opportunity for financing of the identified types of merchandise and related costs. Those Users to whom the RFP is directed (the “RFP Bidders”) must respond only with a financing proposal (a “Proposal”) that represents terms under which the responding RFP Bidder is willing and able to complete a financing transaction (the “Transaction”), subject to customary industry conditions to funding such as credit committee approval, due diligence and execution of appropriate documentation.

The winning RFP Bidder will be notified of its selection (the “Selected Bidder”). The Selected Bidder will be required to confirm that it remains willing and able to fund the transaction. Once the Selected Bidder gives the RFP Author this confirmation, both parties are obligated to complete the Transaction in accord with the term of the RFP and the Proposal. Each other RFP Bidder will be notified that the transaction has not been awarded to it.

Participation in the Marketplace requires Users to provide detailed information concerning their Marketplace transactions (collectively, “Transaction Information”). Users are solely responsible for all Transaction Information they make available in the Marketplace.

The Selected Bidder agrees provide all supporting lease documentation and asset-level information contemporaneously with any funding of a Transaction. If PureDocs is being used to document a Transaction, the Selected Bidder must provide us, in an electronic format, all vendor invoices to be

included in a lease schedule for the Transaction. This material must be provided to us by the Selected Bidder as soon as practicable after being notified of its selection so that we can assemble the final documents for RFP Bidder’s review and signature.

Subject to uses permitted pursuant to the Privacy Policy, the following confidentiality provisions apply to the Marketplace. All information provided to a potential RFP Bidder by or on behalf of the RFP Author, including the any pricing included in the RFP, the existence of the RFP and the name of the RFP Author, are to remain confidential. Proposals are to be confidential among RFP Bidder, RFP Author, and us. The name of the RFP Bidder receiving the award of a funding transaction and the terms of that award are private among the RFP Bidder, the RFP Author, and us.

Each User agrees to comply with all applicable laws in connection with its use of the Marketplace. Each User should consult with its own legal counsel to assure that such User is familiar with and complies with such laws.

We have the right, but not the obligation, to monitor and review the content on the Marketplace and any User’s usage to determine compliance with these Terms of Use and any other operating rules established by us, to satisfy any law, regulation or authorized government request, or for other purposes. Each User understand and acknowledge that we do not monitor Transaction Information for accuracy or reliability.

In addition to all other remedies available to us, Users who fail to comply with these Terms of Use lose permission to access the Website including the ability to participate in the Marketplace.

(b) Marketplace Fees

Use of the Marketplace , including, without limitation, the establishment or continuation of any financing relationship between a User and a RFP Bidder, will require the payment to us of certain fees. The fee structure for the fees payable to us (collectively, the “Transaction Fee Structure”) will be set forth in the initial RFP but if none is specified, the fee is 1 percent of the original equipment value of the leased equipment. The Transaction Fee Structure will apply to any financing transaction (a “Fee Transaction”) for which a RFP has been submitted using the Marketplace and any subsequent financing of equipment with any RFP Bidder, which equipment belongs to or falls under the same “Category” and regardless of any changes in the financing, including (1) a change in the identity of the party to the RFP (e.g. a party to the transaction is an successor to or affiliate, associate or designee of the RFP Author or RFP Bidder, as the case may be); (2) the expiration of the stated duration of the RFP, the Proposal or the initial financing program; (3) the exceeding of the dollar amounts set forth in the RFP, the Proposal or the initial financing program; or (4) a change in or addition of a location at which the equipment will be used. For purposes of this paragraph equipment of the same “Category” means equipment that falls together within any of the following equipment groupings (which are not intended to be mutually exclusive): (1) industrial, manufacturing, machine tools and mining machinery and equipment; (2) material handling equipment, vessels and containers; (3) construction and off-road equipment; (4) medical technology and equipment; (5) transportation vehicles and equipment, including, without limitation, commercial and corporate aircraft, rail cars and rolling stock, trucks and other motor vehicles; (6) business, retail and office equipment; and (7) IT equipment and software.

The RFP Bidder financing the Transaction and the RFP Author each are liable, jointly, and severally, to us for fees calculated under the Transaction Fee Structure even if the relevant transaction is consummated without use of any of our Website services. Once any portion of a Fee Transaction is funded, we must be promptly notified of the funding by providing us the relevant contractual documentation.

In addition, with respect to any Fee Transaction covering technology assets (such as computers, computer peripherals, electronics, semiconductors, software, or telecommunications) (a “Funded Technology Transaction”), the User responsible for the fees on the initial funding will also be liable to us for fees on any transaction that covers any add-ons or upgrades to such technology assets. The Transaction Fee Structure for any such add-on or upgrade transaction will be the same as the Transaction Fee Structure for the Funded Technology Transaction.

In addition to direct obligations to us of the RFP Author and the RFP Bidder receiving the Transaction award, we are a third-party beneficiary of the agreement between the RFP Author and such RFP Bidder for the payment of our fees. No agreement between the RFP Author and the RFP Bidder will negate or otherwise be a substitute for any existing agreement that the RFP Author or the RPF Bidder has directly with us regarding payment of our fees.

(c) Information Requests

Users are required to respond promptly and accurately to information requests made by us concerning Fee Transactions. In order to facilitate management of and reporting on the RFP Author’s lease portfolio at the asset level and if requested by the RFP Author, the RFP Bidder financing the Transaction agrees to provide to us:

  • copies of lease documents (e.g. master lease agreements and schedules with any attachments, exhibits and certificates of acceptance) and asset-level data in a consistent electronic format for all past lease transactions between the Selected Bidder and the RFP Author; and
  • duplicates of all lease invoices for all active lease schedules in the manner requested.

(d) Ownership of Transaction Information

Any documentation of a Transaction or any other Transaction Information and documentation provided by a Selected Bidder to us will be:

  • owned jointly by the RFP Author and the Selected Bidder and any such joint owner will have independent and severable rights with respect to that information; and
  • licensed to us for the purpose of provision of services to any User, which license will be perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, transferable and sub-licensable.

The foregoing rights and licenses are subject to any pre-existing confidentially obligation, including those obligations contained herein.
