(i) the Receivables listed in the Schedule of Receivables from time to time;

(ii) all monies received under the Receivables on and after the related Cutoff Date, including without limitation all Net Liquidation Proceeds received with respect to the Receivables;

(iii) the security interests in the Financed Equipment granted by Obligors and Originator pursuant to the related Contracts and any other interest of Originator in such Financed Equipment;

(viii) all amounts and property from time to time held in or credited to the Lockbox Account with respect to the Receivables (it being understood that title to the Lockbox Account is not conveyed hereunder);

(x) all present and future claims, demands, causes and choses in action in respect of any or all of the foregoing and all payments on or under and all proceeds of every kind and nature whatsoever in respect of any or all of the foregoing, including all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, into cash or other liquid property, all cash proceeds, accounts, accounts receivable, notes, drafts, acceptances, chattel paper, checks, deposit accounts, insurance proceeds, rights to payment of any and every kind and other forms of obligations and receivables, instruments and other property which at any time constitute all or part of or are included in the proceeds of any of the foregoing (the foregoing clauses (i) — (x) being collectively referred to as the “Assets”).

(b) As consideration for the conveyance of Receivables and related Assets to be transferred on any Funding Date pursuant to this Agreement, Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid to Originator on such Funding Date an amount equal to the Aggregate Principal Balance of the Related Receivables as of the related Cutoff Date, plus any premium or minus any discount agreed upon by Originator and Buyer (the “Acquisition Price”). To the extent that the cash portion of the Acquisition Price for the Assets is less than the fair market value thereof, the difference shall be deemed a capital contribution by Originator to Buyer.

2.2 Intention of the Parties. It is the intention of the parties hereto that each transfer and assignment of the Related Receivables and other Assets contemplated by this Agreement and each Sale Assignment (as defined below) executed in connection herewith shall constitute a sale of the Related Receivables and other Assets from Originator to Buyer, conveying good title thereto, free and clear of all liens and rights of others and it is intended that the beneficial interest in and title to the Related Receivables and other Assets shall not be part of Originator’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against Originator under any bankruptcy law. In the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the transfer and assignment contemplated hereby or by any Sale Assignment is held not to be a sale, the parties intend (i) that Originator shall have granted to Buyer, and Originator hereby grants to Buyer, a first priority, perfected security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to the Related Receivables and other Assets and (ii) that this Agreement and any related Sale Assignment shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.

2.3 The Closing. The sale and purchase of the initial Assets on the Closing Date shall take place simultaneously with the closings under: (a) the Sale and Servicing Agreement, (b) the Note Purchase Agreement and (c) the Indenture.

2.4 Servicing. At Buyer’s request, Originator will continue to service the Receivables in accordance with and subject to the terms of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

3.1 Representations and Warranties. Originator makes the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2 below to Buyer (for the benefit of the Trustee and the Noteholders) as of the Closing Date as to the Receivables and with respect to each transfer hereunder, as of the related Funding Date; provided that such representations and warranties relate to the Receivables conveyed on any Funding Date and are made solely with respect to the Receivables transferred on such Funding Date, such representations and warranties are made as of the related Funding Date, and shall in each case survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables to Buyer, the sale and transfer of the Receivables to the Issuer pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and the pledge of the Receivables by the Issuer to the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders pursuant to the Indenture; providedfurther that Originator acknowledges that Buyer will rely upon the accuracy of the following representations and warranties in transferring the Assets to the Issuer and the initial Noteholder will rely upon the accuracy of such representations and warranties in purchasing the Note and making Advances to the Issuer; provided further however that with respect to representations and warranties made to Originator’s knowledge, the term “knowledge” shall be deemed to include the knowledge of any Executive Officer of Originator.

3.2 Receivables Characteristics.

(i) Eligible Receivables. As of the related Funding Date, each Related Receivable is an Eligible Receivable.

(ii) Schedule of Receivables. The information with respect to the Related Receivables set forth in Schedule A to the related Sale Assignment is true and correct in all material respects as of the close of business on the related Cutoff Date, and no selection procedures adverse to the Noteholders have been utilized in selecting the Related Receivables to be sold hereunder from all Eligible Receivables owned by Originator.

(iii) Compliance with Law. Each Related Receivable, the sale of the Financed Equipment and the sale of any physical damage insurance, and any extended warranty or service contracts complied at the time the Related Receivable was originated or made and at the execution of the applicable Sale Assignment complies in all respects with all material requirements of applicable Federal, State, and local laws, rules and regulations.

(iv) Security Interest in Financed Equipment. Immediately prior to the sale, assignment and transfer thereof to Buyer, each Related Receivable and the other Assets was secured by a validly perfected first priority security interest in the Financed Equipment in favor of Originator as secured party or all necessary and appropriate action has been taken to perfect a first priority security interest in the Financed Equipment in favor of Originator as secured party, which security interest is assignable and upon the consummation of the transactions described herein, will be validly assigned to Buyer, and such assigned security interest will be prior to all other liens upon and security interests in such Financed Equipment which now exist or may hereafter arise or be created (except, as to priority, for any tax liens, mechanics’ liens or Liens which attach by operation of law).

(v) Receivables in Force. No Related Receivable has been satisfied, subordinated or rescinded, nor has any related Financed Equipment been released from the lien granted with respect to the Related Receivable in whole or in part.

(vi) No Waiver. Except as permitted under the Sale and Servicing Agreement and clause (vii) below, no provision of a Related Receivable has been waived, altered or modified in any respect since its origination.

(vii) No Amendments. Except as permitted under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, no Related Receivable has been amended, modified, waived or refinanced except pursuant to instruments included in the Receivable File and no such amendment or modification has caused such Related Receivable to fail to satisfy all of the representations and warranties of Originator set forth herein with respect thereto or to fail to meet all of the conditions as set forth herein.

(viii) No Defenses. No right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim and, to Originator’s knowledge, no defense exists or has been asserted or threatened with respect to any Related Receivable. The operation of the terms of any Related Receivable or the exercise of any right thereunder will not render such Related Receivable unenforceable in whole or in part.

(ix) No Liens. As of the related Cutoff Date, (a) there are no liens or claims existing or which have been filed for work, labor, storage or materials relating to Financed Equipment under any of the Related Receivables that are liens prior or equal to, the security interest in the Financed Equipment granted by the Related Receivable and (b) there is no lien filed against any Financed Equipment under a Related Receivable for delinquent taxes.

(x) No Default; Repossession. Except for payment delinquencies continuing for a period of not more than 60 days as of the related Cutoff Date, no default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Related Receivable has occurred; and to Originator’s knowledge, no continuing condition that with notice or the lapse of time would constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Related Receivable has arisen; and neither the Servicer nor Originator has waived any of the foregoing (except in a manner consistent with the Sale and Servicing Agreement) and no Financed Equipment financed under a Related Receivable shall have been repossessed.

(xi) Insurance; Other. (A) With respect to each Receivable, the related Obligor is required to have obtained an insurance policy covering the Financed Equipment as of the date such Related Receivable was initially financed. All such policies are required to insure against loss and damage due to fire, theft, transportation, collision and other risks generally covered by comprehensive and collision coverage. Originator and its successors and assigns are named the loss payee or as additional insureds on each such insurance policy. Each such insurance policy is in an amount at least equal to the remaining Principal Balance of the Related Receivable and each Related Receivable requires the Obligor to obtain and maintain such insurance naming Originator and its successors and assigns as loss payee or an additional insured and (B) as to each Related Receivable that finances the cost of an extended service contract, the respective Financed Equipment which secures the Related Receivable is covered by an extended service contract. As of the related Cutoff Date, no Financed Equipment is or had previously been insured under a policy of forced-placed insurance.

(xii) Title. It is the intention of Originator that each transfer and assignment herein contemplated constitutes a sale of the Related Receivables and the related other Assets from Originator to Buyer and that the beneficial interest in and title to such Related Receivables and related other Assets not be part of Originator’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against Originator under any bankruptcy law. No Related Receivable or related other Assets have been sold, transferred, assigned, or pledged by Originator to any Person other than Buyer and by Buyer to any Person other than the Issuer. Immediately prior to each transfer and assignment herein contemplated, Originator had good and marketable title to each Related Receivable and related other Assets and was the sole owner thereof, free and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances, security interests, and rights of others, and, immediately upon the transfer thereof to Buyer and the concurrent pledge to the Trustee under the Indenture, the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders shall have a valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, security interests, and rights of others, and such transfer has been perfected under the UCC. No Dealer has the right to repurchase any Receivable or has a participation in, or other right to receive, proceeds of any Receivable.

(xiii) Lawful Assignment. No Related Receivable has been originated in, or is subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction under which the sale, transfer, and assignment of such Related Receivable under this Agreement shall be unlawful, void, or voidable. Originator has not entered into any agreement with any account debtor that prohibits, restricts or conditions the assignment of any portion of the Related Receivables.

(xiv) All Filings Made. All filings (including, without limitation, UCC filings or other actions) necessary in any jurisdiction to give Buyer a first priority perfected ownership interest in the Receivables and the other Assets, including, without limitation, the proceeds of the Receivables (to the extent that Buyer can obtain such first priority perfected security interest pursuant to one or more UCC filings).

(xv) Receivable File; One Original. Originator has delivered or caused to be delivered to the Custodian, at the location specified in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, a complete Receivable File with respect to each Related Receivable, and the Custodian has delivered to Buyer and the Noteholders a copy of the Custodial Receipt therefor. There is only one original executed copy of all instruments, notes and/or chattel paper related to the origination of each Receivable.

(xvi) Chattel Paper. Each Related Receivable constitutes “tangible chattel paper” under the UCC.

(xvii) Filings. If the Related Receivable was originated in a State in which the filing of a financing statement under the UCC is required to perfect a security interest in the Financed Equipment, such filings or recordings have been duly made and show Originator named as the original secured party under the Related Receivable and the Trustee has the same rights as such secured party has or would have (if such secured party were still the owner of the Receivable) against all parties claiming an interest in such Financed Equipment.

(xviii) Valid and Binding Obligation of Obligor. Each Related Receivable is the legal, valid and binding obligation in writing of the Obligor thereunder and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except only as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and all parties to such contract had full legal capacity to execute and deliver all documents related thereto and to grant the security interest purported to be granted thereby. Each Related Receivable is not subject to any right of set-off by the Obligor.

(xix) Characteristics of Obligors. As of the date of each Obligor’s application for the loan from which the Related Receivable arises, no Obligor (a) was the subject of any federal, state or other bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding pending on the date of application, (b) had not been the subject of more than one federal, state or other bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding within the ten (10) years immediately preceding the origination of the Related Receivable or (c) was domiciled outside the United States.

(xx) Casualty. To Originator’s knowledge, no Financed Equipment which is part of any Related Receivable has been the subject of a Casualty.

(xxi) No Agreement to Lend. The Obligor with respect to each Related Receivable does not have any option under the Receivable to borrow from any person any funds secured by the Financed Equipment.

(xxii) Obligation to Dealers or Others. Buyer and its assignees will assume no obligation to Dealers, the Gehl Equipment Sellers or other originators or holders of the Related Receivables (including, but not limited to Dealer Reserve Amounts) as a result of its purchase of the Related Receivables.

(xxiii) No Impairment. Neither Originator nor Buyer has done anything to convey any right to any Person that would result in such Person having a right to payments due under any Related Receivables or otherwise to impair the rights of Buyer, the Issuer, the Trustee or the Noteholders in any Related Receivable or the proceeds thereof.

(xxiv) Receivables Not Assumable. No Related Receivable is assumable by another Person in a manner which would release the Obligor thereof from such Obligor’s obligations to Originator with respect to such Related Receivable.

(xxv) Servicing. The servicing of each Related Receivable and the collection practices relating thereto have been lawful and in accordance with the standards set forth in the Sale and Servicing Agreement; and other than the Servicer and the Backup Servicer pursuant to the Basic Documents, no other person has the right to service the Receivables; provided, however, that the Servicer may from time to time use Subservicers to assist it in certain collection efforts in accordance with the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

(xxvi) Creation of Security Interest. This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the UCC) in the Receivables and the other Assets in favor of Buyer, which security interest in the Receivables is prior to all other Liens and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from Originator.

(xxvii) Perfection of Security Interest. Originator has caused (or will have caused within ten (10) days of the sale of the Financed Equipment to the Obligor), the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Receivables and the other Assets (to the extent perfection can be obtained through filing) granted to Buyer hereunder pursuant to Section 2.1 and the related Sale Assignment.

(xxviii) No Other Security Interests. Other than the security interest granted to Buyer pursuant to Section 2.1 and the related Sale Assignment, Originator has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Receivables or the other Assets, other than such security interests as were released at or before the conveyance thereof. Originator has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements filed against Originator that include a description of collateral covering any portion of the Receivables and the other Assets other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to Buyer hereunder or that has been terminated or released as to the Receivables and the other Assets. There are no judgments or tax lien filings against Originator.

(xxix) Notations on Contracts; Financing Statement Disclosure. The Servicer has in its possession copies of all Contracts that constitute or evidence the Receivables. The Contracts that constitute or evidence the Receivables do not have any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than Buyer and/or the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders. All financing statements filed or to be filed against Originator in favor of Buyer in connection herewith describing the Assets contain a statement to the following effect: “A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the secured party.”

(xxx) Records. On or prior to each Funding Date, Originator will have caused its records (including electronic ledgers) relating to each Related Receivable to be conveyed by it on such Funding Date to be clearly and unambiguously marked to reflect that such Related Receivable was conveyed by it to Buyer.

(xxxi) Computer Information. The computer diskette, computer tape or other electronic transmission made available by Originator to Buyer on each Funding Date is, as of the related Cutoff Date, complete and accurate and includes a description of the Receivables described in Schedule A to the related Sale Assignment.

(xxxii) No Titling Requirement. None of the states in which the Receivables are originated require that a certificate or other evidence of title be issued or obtained with respect to any Financed Equipment which is part of any Receivable sold hereunder.

(xxxiii) Cross Collateralization. Each Cross Collateralized Contract which has been sold by Originator to any third party has been sold subject to an enforceable agreement which provides that (i) such purchaser disclaims any right, title or interest in or to any Financed Equipment related to any Receivables sold hereunder, (ii) to the extent such purchaser is deemed to have any interest in any such Financed Equipment, such purchaser shall have agreed to subordinate its interest in such Financed Equipment to the claims or rights of Originator or any other holder or pledgee of such Cross Collateralized Contract with respect to such Financed Equipment and (iii) any agreement governing a subsequent sale of such Cross Collateralized Contract by such purchaser shall contain a provision requiring all subsequent purchasers to provide a written disclaimer acknowledgement and a subordination agreement substantially similar to those set forth in subclauses (i) and (ii) hereof.

(xxxiv) Contracts. Receivables were originated using Contracts and other documents which at the time of execution complied in all material respects with all applicable provisions of state law.

3.3 Repurchase Upon Breach.(a) Originator or Buyer, as the case may be, shall inform the other party to this Agreement promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of any breach of Originator’s representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 3.2 (without regard to any limitations therein as to Originator’s knowledge), including without limitation, any failure of any Receivable to constitute an “Eligible Receivable” at the time of purchase hereunder, and upon receipt by Originator of notice of such breach, Originator (for the benefit of Buyer, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Noteholders) shall repurchase any Receivable if (A) the value of such Receivable is materially and adversely affected by the breach or (B) Buyer’s or the Noteholders’ interest in such Receivable was materially and adversely affected by the breach, in each case as determined by Buyer or the Majority Noteholder in its reasonable discretion (such Receivables, “PSA Defective Receivables”), providedhowever, that Buyer shall not be required to demonstrate satisfaction of the conditions set forth in subclauses (A) or (B) above in making its determination that any Receivable was not an Eligible Receivable at the time of purchase hereunder. The obligation of Originator to repurchase the Receivables under this Section 3.3 shall not be dependent on the actual knowledge of Originator of any breached representation or warranty. The repurchase shall occur as of the last day of the Accrual Period immediately following receipt by Originator of notice of such breach (or at the Noteholders’ option, the last day of the first Accrual Period following such discovery). In consideration of the repurchase of any Receivable, Originator shall remit the Purchase Amount to the Collection Account on behalf of Buyer in immediately available funds, within five (5) Business Days of Originator’s receipt of notice from Buyer of the Noteholders’ determination that such Receivable is a PSA Defective Receivable. The sole remedy of Buyer with respect to a breach of representations and warranties pursuant to Section 3.1 shall be to enforce Originator’s obligation to purchase such PSA Defective Receivables; provided, however, that Originator shall indemnify Buyer (and its assignees) against all PSA Losses, which may be asserted against or incurred by any of them as a result of third party claims arising out of the events or facts giving rise to such breach, including without limitation, any PSA Losses related to any breach of subclause (b) or (c) of the definition of Eligible Receivables.

(b) If the Insolvency Event related to a 341 Hearing has not been discharged by the bankruptcy court or other similar court presiding over such Insolvency Event within 90 days of the conveyance of the Related Receivable by Originator to Buyer pursuant to Section 2.1(a), Originator shall repurchase such Receivable as of the last day of such next Accrual Period for an amount equal to the Purchase Amount.

3.4 Custody of Receivable Files.

(a) In connection with each sale, transfer and assignment of Receivables and related other Assets to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and each Sale Assignment, each transfer thereof by Buyer to the Issuer pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and each pledge thereof by the Issuer to the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, the Custodian shall act as custodian of the following documents or instruments in its possession which shall be delivered to the Custodian on or before the Closing Date or the related Funding Date in accordance with Section 3.4(b) (with respect to each Receivable):

(i) The fully executed original of the Contract evidencing the Receivable (together with any agreements modifying or assigning the Receivable, including without limitation any extension agreements); and

(ii) The original note or chattel paper (or other evidence of a security interest and a promise of payment) in the name of the Obligor with any required notations evidencing Originator’s security interest in the related Receivables and all related documents that Originator shall keep on file in accordance with its customary procedures and which evidence the Obligor’s payment agreement as well as a security interest in the Financed Equipment (including each UCC filing required under Section 3.2(xvii)) or, if not yet received, a copy of such note, chattel paper or other documents.

(b) In connection with any Funding Date, Originator shall cause to be delivered to the Custodian the Receivable Files for the Related Receivables to be purchased not less than four Business Days prior to the related Funding Date to be held by the Custodian in accordance with the terms of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. At the time and to the extent Buyer is required to repurchase a Receivable pursuant to Section 3.5 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, Originator shall be required to repurchase such Receivable from Buyer for the Purchase Amount whereupon the Custodian shall release to Buyer or its designee the related Receivable File and other Assets. Upon such release, Buyer shall execute and deliver to Originator all reasonable instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, as are prepared by Originator and delivered to Buyer and as are necessary or desirable to vest in Originator or its designee title to the Receivable and related Assets.

5.1 Protection of Right, Title and Interest.

(a) Filings. Originator shall authorize and cause all financing statements and continuation statements and any other necessary documents covering the right, title and interest of Buyer in and to the Receivables and the other property included in the Assets to be promptly filed, and at all times to be kept recorded, registered and filed, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve and protect the right, title and interest of Buyer hereunder to the Receivables and the other property sold hereunder. Originator shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to Buyer file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document recorded, registered or filed as provided above as soon as available following such recordation, registration or filing. Buyer shall cooperate fully with Originator in connection with the obligations set forth above and shall execute any and all documents reasonably required to fulfill the intent of this paragraph.

(b) Name Change. Originator’s legal name is as set forth in the first paragraph of this Agreement and its organizational identification number is 1G01013. Originator shall not change its name, identity, jurisdiction of organization, form of organization or corporate structure in any manner that would, could or might make any financing statement or continuation statement filed in accordance with paragraph (a) above seriously misleading within the meaning of Section 9-506 of the UCC, unless it shall have given Buyer, the Noteholders and the Trustee at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof and shall have promptly filed appropriate amendments to all previously filed financing statements or continuation statements.

Except for the conveyances under this Agreement, the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture and the other Basic Documents, Originator: (a) shall not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on, any interest in, to and under the Receivables and the other Assets, and (b) shall defend the right, title and interest of Buyer in, to and under the Receivables against all claims of third parties claiming through or under Originator.

5.3 Costs and Expenses. Originator agrees to pay all reasonable costs and disbursements in connection with the perfection, as against all third parties, of Buyer’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables.

(b) Originator shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller, the Issuer, the Backup Servicer, the Trustee, the Noteholder and their respective officers, directors, agents and employees from and against any and all PSA Losses, arising out of or resulting from (i) the ownership by Buyer, the Issuer, or any of their agents or subcontractors, of any Financed Equipment, (ii) the failure of Buyer, Originator, the Issuer or any Dealer to comply with any federal, state or local law (including any Consumer Law) which governs the origination, servicing or sale of any Financed Equipment or which imposes an obligation to obtain any license or complete any registration or filing or satisfy any other administrative requirement in connection with the origination, ownership, servicing or sale of any Financed Equipment, (iii) any reduction in the proceeds of the Receivables available to the Issuer caused in whole or in part by the commingling of collections on the Receivables by any Gehl Party at any time with other funds, and (iv) an uninsured loss resulting from any Casualty with respect to Financed Equipment to the extent the Servicer did not enforce the Obligor’s duty to obtain insurance coverage for such Financed Equipment in accordance with the terms of the Contract.

(c) Originator shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer, the Issuer, the Backup Servicer, the Trustee, the Noteholder and their respective officers, directors, agents and employees from and against any taxes that may at any time be asserted against any such Person with respect to the transactions contemplated in this Agreement and any of the Basic Documents (except any income taxes or franchise taxes with respect to the Noteholder and with respect to the Trustee and the Backup Servicer arising out of fees paid to the Trustee and the Backup Servicer and except any taxes to which the Trustee may otherwise be subject), including without limitation any sales, gross receipts, general corporation, limited liability company, tangible personal property, privilege or license taxes (but, in the case of the Issuer, not including any taxes asserted with respect to federal or other income taxes or franchise taxes arising out of distributions on the Note or otherwise) and costs and expenses arising out of or incurred in defending against the same.

(d) Originator shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer, the Issuer, the Backup Servicer, the Trustee, the Noteholder and their respective officers, directors, agents and employees from and against any PSA Losses incurred by reason of (i) Originator or the Servicer’s willful malfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of their duties under any Basic Document, or by reason of reckless disregard of their obligations and duties under any Basic Document and/or (ii) any violation of Federal or state securities laws by the Issuer in connection with the offering and sale of the Note to the extent such violation arises from any information provided by Originator or the Servicer to the Issuer for use in marketing the Notes.

Indemnification under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Indenture, as applicable, and shall include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and other expenses of litigation. If Originator shall have made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section and the Person to or on behalf of whom such payments are made thereafter shall collect any of such amounts from others, such Person shall promptly repay such amounts to Originator, without interest. Any party seeking indemnification under this Section 5.4 (a “PSA Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify Originator in writing of the assertion of any claim or the discovery of any fact upon which the party seeking indemnification intends to base a claim for indemnification hereunder. With respect to any claim made by a third party against which a PSA Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification hereunder, Originator shall have the right, at its own expense, to participate in or assume the defense thereof from the party seeking indemnification, so long as Originator acknowledges its indemnification obligation to the applicable PSA Indemnified Party and such party shall fully cooperate with Originator subject to reimbursement for actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred as a result of such request by Originator; provided, however, that Originator may not, without the prior written consent of the Majority Noteholder and the Buyer, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which a Noteholder or Buyer is or could have been a party or in respect of which indemnity could have been sought by either the Majority Noteholder or Buyer hereunder. If Originator does not elect to assume control or otherwise participate in the defense of any third-party claim after receipt of notice thereof from the PSA Indemnified Party, Originator, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the PSA Indemnified Party, shall be bound by the results obtained by the PSA Indemnified Party with respect to such claim.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 5.4 or any other provision of this Agreement, nothing herein shall be construed as to require Originator to provide any indemnification hereunder or under any other Basic Document for any PSA Losses incurred in connection with credit losses with respect to the Receivables or the Financed Equipment.

5.5 Cross Collateralized Contracts. With respect to any Cross Collateralized Contracts, Originator hereby disclaims any right, title or interest in or to any Financed Equipment related to Receivables sold hereunder, and, to the extent Originator is deemed to have any interest in any such Financed Equipment based on the operation of such provisions, Originator hereby subordinates any interest it may have in such Financed Equipment to the claims or rights of Buyer, the Issuer and the Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders with respect to such Financed Equipment. In addition, Originator agrees not to sell any Contract owned by Originator which is part of a series of Contracts executed by the same obligor which contain one or more “cross-collateralization” or similar provisions as described above, without first securing the written agreement (in form and substance satisfactory to the Note Purchaser) of the party to whom such Contract is to be sold which shall provide that: (i) such purchaser shall disclaim any right, title or interest in or to any Financed Equipment related to any Receivables sold hereunder, (ii) to the extent such purchaser is deemed to have any interest in any such Financed Equipment, such purchaser shall have agreed to subordinate its interest in such Financed Equipment to the claims or rights of Buyer, the Issuer and the Trustee on behalf of the Noteholder with respect to such Financed Equipment and (iii) such purchaser shall further covenant that any agreement governing a subsequent sale of such Contract shall contain a provision requiring all subsequent purchasers to provide a written disclaimer acknowledgement and a subordination agreement substantially similar to those set forth in subclauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph.

5.6 Ineligible Receivables. Originator may at any time upon request of Buyer repurchase Ineligible Receivables and Receivables in excess of the Aggregate Concentration Adjustment Amount from Buyer at a price equal to the discounted value of the remaining payments on such Receivables using the Portfolio Discount Rate (the “PSA Repurchase Price”) provided that no Borrowing Base Deficiency shall exist after giving effect to any such repurchase. Upon receipt of the PSA Repurchase Price in respect of any Receivable to be repurchased hereunder and written instructions from the Servicer, Buyer shall release (or cause to be released) to Originator the related Receivable File and other related Assets and shall execute and deliver all instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, as are prepared by Originator and delivered to Buyer and necessary or desirable to vest in Originator title to such Receivables and related Assets.

5.7 Representations and Warranties of Originator.

(a) Organization and Good Standing. Originator has been duly organized and is validly existing as a corporation solely under the laws of the State of Wisconsin.

(b) Due Qualification. Originator 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 of property or the conduct of its business (including the sale of the Receivables as required by this Agreement) shall require such qualification or where the failure to be so qualified could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Buyer (including its assignees and pledgees) or the Receivables.

(c) Power and Authority. Originator has the power (corporate and other) and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which it is a party and to carry out its terms and their terms, respectively; Originator has full power and authority to acquire, own, sell and assign the Receivables and the other Assets to be sold and assigned to and deposited with Buyer by it and has duly authorized such sale and assignment to Buyer by all necessary corporate action; and Originator has the power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business as such properties are currently owned and such business is currently conducted; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Basic Documents to which Originator is a party have been duly authorized by Originator by all necessary corporate action.

(d) Valid Sale; Binding Obligations. This Agreement effects a valid sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables and the other Assets to Buyer, enforceable against Originator and creditors of and purchasers from Originator; and this Agreement and the Basic Documents to which Originator is a party, when duly executed and delivered by each party hereto and thereto, shall constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Originator enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by equitable limitations on the availability of specific remedies, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

(e) No Violation. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Basic Documents and the fulfillment of the terms of this Agreement and the Basic Documents does not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of or constitute (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) a default under the articles of incorporation or bylaws of Originator, or any indenture mortgage, deed of trust or other material agreement or instrument to which Originator is a party or by which it is bound or any of its properties are subject, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument, other than the Basic Documents, or violate any law, order, rule or regulation applicable to Originator of any court or of any federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over Originator or any of its properties.

(f) No Proceedings. There are no suits, actions, proceedings or investigations pending or, to Originator’s knowledge, threatened against Originator, before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other tribunal or governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over Originator or its properties (A) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, the Note or any of the Basic Documents, (B) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Note or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents, (C) seeking any determination or ruling that could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (x) the performance by Originator of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, the Receivables or the Assets, this Agreement, the Note or any of the other Basic Documents or (y) any action to be taken by Originator in connection with the obligations of Originator under any of the Basic Documents, or (D) relating to Originator and which might reasonably be expected to adversely affect the federal or state income, excise, franchise or similar tax attributes of the Note.

(h) Financial Condition. Originator has a positive net worth and is able to and does pay its liabilities as they mature. Originator is not in default under any obligation to pay money to any Person except for matters being disputed in good faith which do not involve an obligation of Originator on a promissory note. Originator will not use the proceeds from the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents to give any preference to any creditor or class of creditors, and this transaction will not leave Originator with remaining assets which are unreasonably small compared to its ongoing operations.

The amount of consideration being received by Originator upon the sale of the Receivables to Buyer constitutes reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for such Receivables. Originator is not transferring any Receivables with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors.

(j) Certificate, Statements and Reports. The officer’s certificates, statements, reports and other documents prepared by Originator and furnished by Originator pursuant to this Agreement or any other Basic Document to which it is a party, and in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, when taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading.

(k) Legal Counsel, etc. Originator consulted with its own legal counsel and independent accountants to the extent it deems necessary regarding the tax, accounting and regulatory consequences of the transactions contemplated hereby, Originator is not participating in such transactions in reliance on any representations of any other party, their affiliates or their counsel with respect to tax, accounting and regulatory matters.

(l) No Default. Originator is not in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in, and is not otherwise in default under (i) any law or statute applicable to it, including, without limitation, any Consumer Law, (ii) any judgment, decree, writ, injunction, order, award or other action of any court or governmental authority or arbitrator or any order, rule or regulation of any federal, state, county, municipal or other governmental or public authority or agency having or asserting jurisdiction over it or any of its properties or (iii) (x) any indebtedness or any instrument or agreement under or pursuant to which any such indebtedness has been, or could be, issued or incurred or (y) any other instrument or agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound or any of its properties is affected, including, without limitation, the Basic Documents, which with respect to the foregoing either individually or in the aggregate, (A) could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change with respect to Originator, or in any impairment of the right or ability of Originator to carry on its business substantially as now conducted or (B) could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect Originator’s performance of its obligations hereunder, or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or the Basic Documents.

(m) No Broker. Originator has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent, or other Person who may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the sale of Receivables.

(n) Investment Company. Originator is not an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, that is required to be registered as such under such Act.

(o) Taxes. Originator has filed when due all federal and state tax returns which are required to be filed and paid all taxes, including any assessments received by it, to the extent that such taxes have become due (other than taxes, the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of Originator). Any taxes, fees and other governmental charges payable by Originator in connection with consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which Originator is a party and the fulfillment of the terms of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which Originator is a party have been paid or will be paid when due.

(p) Cross Collateralization. Each Cross Collateralized Contract which has been sold by Originator to any third party has been sold subject to an enforceable agreement which provides that (i) such purchaser disclaims any right, title or interest in or to any Financed Equipment related to any Receivables sold hereunder, (ii) to the extent such purchaser is deemed to have any interest in any such Financed Equipment, such purchaser shall have agreed to subordinate its interest in such Financed Equipment to the claims or rights of Buyer, the Issuer and the Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders with respect to such Financed Equipment and (iii) any agreement governing a subsequent sale of such Cross Collateralized Contract by such purchaser shall contain a provision requiring all subsequent purchasers to provide a written disclaimer acknowledgement and a subordination agreement substantially similar to those set forth in subclauses (i) and (ii) hereof.
