        Section 2.2.     Transfers Intended as Sales.

In the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the Seller, the transfer and assignment contemplated hereby or by any Assignment is held not to be a sale, the parties intend (i) that the Seller shall have granted to the Purchaser, and the Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser, a first priority, perfected security interest in all of its right title and interest in and to the property referred to in Section 2.1 which security interest has been pledged to the Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholder and (ii) that this Agreement and any related Assignment shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.

        Section 2.3.     Further Encumbrance of Receivables and Other Conveyed Property.

          (a) Immediately upon the conveyance to the Purchaser by the Seller of the Related Receivables and any item of the related Other Conveyed Property pursuant to Section 2.1 and the related Assignment, all right, title and interest of the Seller in and to such Related Receivables and Other Conveyed Property shall terminate, and all such right, title and interest shall vest in the Purchaser.

          (b) Immediately upon the vesting of any Related Receivables and the related Other Conveyed Property in the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall have the sole right to pledge or otherwise encumber such Related Receivables and the related Other Conveyed Property. Pursuant to the Indenture, the Purchaser shall grant a security interest in the Collateral to secure the repayment of the Note.

          (c) The Trustee shall, at such time as (i) the Facility Termination Date has occurred and it has been notified in writing thereof by the Majority Noteholder, (ii) there is no Note outstanding and all obligations in respect thereof have been paid in full and (iii) all sums due to the Backup Servicer and the Secured Parties pursuant to the Basic Documents have been paid, release any remaining portion of the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property to the Purchaser to such account as the Purchaser may direct in writing.

ARTICLE III

          The Seller makes the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2 below, to the Purchaser and to the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholder as of the Closing Date as to the Receivables and with respect to each Advance, as of the 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 the Purchaser and the pledge of the Receivables by the Purchaser to the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholder pursuant to the Indenture; providedfurther that the Seller acknowledges that the Noteholder will rely upon the accuracy of the following representations and warranties in purchasing the Note and paying the Advance Amounts to the Purchaser; providedfurtherhowever that with respect to representations and warranties made to the Seller’s knowledge, the term “knowledge” shall be deemed to include the knowledge of any Executive Officer of the Originator or the Seller.

        Section 3.2.     Receivables Characteristics.

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

7


          (ii)     Schedule of Receivables. The information with respect to the Related Receivables set forth in Schedule A to the related 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 Noteholder have been utilized in selecting the Related Receivables to be sold hereunder from all Eligible Receivables owned by the Seller.

          (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 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 the Purchaser, each Related Receivable and the Other Conveyed Property was secured by a validly perfected first priority security interest in the Financed Equipment in favor of the Seller as secured party or all necessary and appropriate action had been taken to perfect a first priority security interest in the Financed Equipment in favor of the Seller as secured party, which security interest is assignable and upon the consummation of the transactions described herein, will be validly assigned to the Purchaser, 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 Section 4.2 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 Section 4.2, 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 the Seller 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 the Seller’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.

8


          (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 the Seller’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 the Seller has waived any of the foregoing (except in a manner consistent with Section 4.2) 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. The 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 the 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 the Seller that each transfer and assignment herein contemplated constitutes a sale of the Related Receivables and the related Other Conveyed Property from the Seller to the Purchaser and that the beneficial interest in and title to such Related Receivables and related Other Conveyed Property not be part of the Seller’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy law. No Related Receivable or related Other Conveyed Property has been sold, transferred, assigned, or pledged by the Seller to any Person other than the Purchaser and by the Purchaser to any Person other than the Trustee. Immediately prior to each transfer and assignment herein contemplated, the Seller had good and marketable title to each Related Receivable and related Other Conveyed Property 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 the Purchaser and the concurrent pledge to the Trustee under the Indenture, the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholder 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.

9


          (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 or the pledge of the Related Receivables under the Indenture to the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholder, or any transfers of the Note shall be unlawful, void, or voidable. The Seller 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: (a) the Purchaser a first priority perfected ownership interest in the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property, including, without limitation, the proceeds of the Receivables (to the extent that the Purchaser can obtain such first priority perfected security interest pursuant to one or more UCC filings) and (b) the Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholder, a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral have been made, taken or performed (to the extent that the Purchaser can obtain such first priority perfected security interest pursuant to one or more UCC filings).

          (xv)     Receivable File; One Original. The Seller has delivered to the Custodian, at the location specified in Schedule B hereto, a complete Receivable File with respect to each Related Receivable, and the Custodian has delivered to the Purchaser and the Noteholder 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 the Originator named as the original secured party under the Related Receivable, the sale of the Related Receivable to the Seller and pledge to the Trustee, and in either case, 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.

10


          (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 the Seller’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. The Purchaser 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 Seller nor the Purchaser 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 the Purchaser, the Trustee or the Noteholder 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 the Originator, Purchaser or Seller 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 this 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 Section 8.4 hereof.

          (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 Conveyed Property in favor of the Purchaser, which security interest in the Receivables is prior to all other Liens and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Seller or the Originator.

          (xxvii)     Perfection of Security Interest in Trust Estate. The Seller 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 Conveyed Property (to the extent perfection can be obtained through filing) granted to the Purchaser hereunder pursuant to Section 2.1 and the related Assignment.

11


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

          (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 the Purchaser and/or the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholder. All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Seller in favor of the Purchaser in connection herewith describing the Trust Estate 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, the Seller 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 the Purchaser.

          (xxxi)     Computer Information. The computer diskette, computer tape or other electronic transmission made available by the Seller to the Purchaser 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 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 the sale, transfer or financing of any Financed Equipment which is part of any Receivable sold hereunder.

          (xxxiii)     Cross Collateralization. Each Cross Collateralized Contract which has been sold by the 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 or under the Purchase and Sale Agreement, (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 the Company or any holder or pledgee of the Company and the Trustee on behalf of the Noteholder 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 disclaimer acknowledgement and a subordination agreement substantially similar to those set forth in subclauses (i) and (ii) hereof.

12


          (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.

        Section 3.3.     Repurchase Upon Breach.

          (a) The Seller, the Servicer, the Noteholder, the Custodian or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall inform the other parties to this Agreement promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of any breach of the Seller’s representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 3.2 (without regard to any limitations therein as to the Seller’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 the Seller of notice of such breach, the Seller shall repurchase any Receivable if (A) the value of such Receivable is materially and adversely affected by the breach or (B) the Noteholder’s interest in such Receivable was materially and adversely affected by the breach, in each case as determined by the Noteholder in its reasonable discretion (such Receivables, “Defective Receivables”), providedhowever, that the Purchaser 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 the Seller to repurchase the Receivables under this Section 3.3 shall not be dependent on the actual knowledge of the Seller of any breached representation or warranty. The repurchase shall occur as of the last day of the Accrual Period immediately following receipt by the Seller of notice of such breach (or at the Noteholder’s option, the last day of the first Accrual Period following such discovery). In consideration of the repurchase of any Receivable, the Seller shall remit the Purchase Amount to the Purchaser, in immediately available funds, within five (5) Business Days following discovery of the Defective Receivables. The sole remedy of the Purchaser, the Trustee or the Noteholder with respect to a breach of representations and warranties pursuant to Section 3.2 shall be to enforce the Seller’s obligation to purchase such Defective Receivables; provided, however, that the Seller shall indemnify the Trustee, the Custodian, the Backup Servicer, the Purchaser and the Noteholder against all 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 Losses related to any breach of subclauses (b) or (c) of the definition of Eligible Receivables. Upon receipt of the Purchase Amount in respect of any Defective Receivables and written instructions from the Servicer, the Custodian shall release to the Seller or its designee the related Receivable File and Other Conveyed Property and the Trustee shall execute and deliver all reasonable instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, as are prepared by the Seller and delivered to the Trustee and necessary or desirable to vest in the Seller or such designee title to such Defective Receivables.

13


          (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 the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.1(a), the Seller shall repurchase such Receivable as of the last day of such next Accrual Period for an amount equal to the Purchase Amount.

        Section 3.4.     Custody of Receivable Files.

          (a) In connection with each sale, transfer and assignment of Receivables and related Other Conveyed Property to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and each Assignment, and each pledge thereof by the Purchaser 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 3.5 (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 Seller’s security interest in the related Receivables and all related documents that the Seller 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) Upon payment in full of any Receivable, the Servicer will notify the Custodian pursuant to a certificate of a Servicing Officer in the form of Exhibit B and shall request delivery of the Receivable, Other Conveyed Property and the Receivable File to the Servicer.

14


        Section 3.5.     Acceptance of Receivable Files by Custodian. In connection with any Funding Date, the Seller 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. The Custodian declares that it will hold and will continue to hold such files and any amendments, replacements or supplements thereto and all Other Conveyed Property (to the extent received) as custodian, agent and bailee in trust for the use and benefit of the Noteholder. The Custodian shall within three (3) Business Days after receipt of such files, execute and deliver to the Noteholder, a receipt substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (a “Custodial Receipt”) for the Receivable Files received by the Custodian. By its delivery of a Custodial Receipt, the Custodian shall be deemed to have (a) acknowledged receipt of the files (or the Receivables) which the Seller has represented are and contain the Receivable Files for the Related Receivables purchased by the Purchaser on the related Funding Date, (b) reviewed such files or Receivables and (c) determined that it has received the items referred to in Section 3.4(a)(i) and Section 3.4(a)(ii) for each Related Receivable identified in Schedule A to the related Assignment. If in its examination of the files delivered to it by the Seller pursuant to this Section 3.5, the Custodian finds that a file for a Receivable has not been received, or that a file is unrelated to the Receivables identified in Schedule A to the related Assignment or that any of the documents referred to in Section 3.4(a)(i) or Section 3.4(a)(ii) are not contained in a Receivable File, the Custodian shall inform the Purchaser, the Seller and the Noteholder pursuant to an exception report attached to the Custodial Receipt as Schedule I of the failure to receive a file with respect to such Receivable (or the failure of any of the aforementioned documents to be included in the Receivable File) or shall return to the Purchaser, as the Seller’s designee, any file unrelated to a Receivable identified in Schedule A to the related Assignment (it being understood that the Custodian’s obligation to review the contents of any Receivable File shall be limited as set forth in the preceding sentence). Unless such defect with respect to such Receivable File shall have been cured by the last day of the next Accrual Period following discovery thereof by the Custodian, the Seller shall repurchase any such Receivable as of such last day. In consideration of the purchase of the Receivable, the Seller shall remit the Purchase Amount for such Receivable, in the manner specified in Section 5.6. The sole remedy of the Custodian, the Purchaser and the Noteholder with respect to a breach pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall be to require the Seller to purchase the applicable Receivables pursuant to this Section 3.5; provided, however, that the Seller shall indemnify the Custodian, the Backup Servicer, the Purchaser and the Noteholder against all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, 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. Upon receipt of the Purchase Amount for a Receivable and written instructions from the Servicer, the Custodian shall release to the Seller or its designee the related Receivable File and Other Conveyed Property and the Trustee shall execute and deliver all reasonable instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, as are prepared by the Seller and delivered to the Custodian and as are necessary or desirable to vest in the Seller or such designee title to the Receivable.

        Section 3.6.     Access to Receivable Files. Upon prior written request, the Custodian shall permit the Servicer, the Trustee and Noteholder access to the Receivable Files at all reasonable times during the Custodian’s normal business hours. The Custodian shall, within two Business Days of the request of the Servicer or the Noteholder, execute such documents and instruments as are prepared by the Servicer or the Noteholder and delivered to the Custodian, as the Servicer or the Noteholder deems necessary to permit the Servicer, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures, to enforce the Receivable on behalf of the Purchaser and any related insurance policies covering the Obligor, the Receivable or Financed Equipment so long as such execution in the Custodian’s sole discretion does not conflict with this Agreement or the Other Basic Documents and will not cause it undue risk or liability. The Custodian shall not be obligated to release any document from any Receivable File unless it receives a release request signed by a Servicing Officer in the form of Exhibit B hereto (the “Release Request”). Such Release Request shall obligate the Servicer or the Noteholder, as applicable, to return such document(s) to the Custodian when the need therefor no longer exists unless the Receivable shall be liquidated, in which case, the Servicer shall certify in the Release Request that all amounts required to be deposited in the Collection Account with respect to such Receivable have been so deposited.

15


        Section 3.7.     Custodian to Obtain Fidelity Insurance. The Custodian shall maintain a fidelity bond in the form and amount as is customary for entities acting as trustee of funds and documents in respect of retail installment contracts on behalf of institutional investors.

        Section 3.8.     Custodian to Maintain Secure Facilities. The Custodian shall maintain or cause to be maintained continuous custody of the Receivable Files held by it in secure and fire resistant facilities in accordance with customary standards in the industry for such custody.

ARTICLE IV

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES

        Section 4.1.     Duties of the Servicer. The Servicer, as agent for the Purchaser and the Noteholder shall manage, service, administer and make collections on the Receivables with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention customary and usual for institutions which service retail installment sale contracts for agricultural and construction equipment similar to the Financed Equipment, and, to the extent more exacting, that degree of skill and attention the Servicer exercises with respect to all comparable equipment receivables that it services for itself or others. In performing such duties, the Servicer shall comply with its current servicing practices and procedures. So long as the Originator is the Servicer, in the event the Servicer’s servicing practices and procedures as used on the date hereof are subsequently reduced to writing or are materially modified in a manner which, in the Noteholder’s reasonable discretion, may reasonably be expected to adversely impact the value, enforceability or collectability of the Receivables, any such written embodiment of the Servicer’s practices and procedures or any material modification of the Servicer’s current practices and procedures which may reasonably be expected to have an adverse impact on the value, enforceability or collectability of the Receivables will require the prior written consent of the Majority Noteholder. Notice of proposed written servicing policies and procedures and of any material change to the initial Servicer’s practices and procedures shall be given to the Noteholder prior to the effectiveness thereof and thereafter, from time to time but at least semi-annually. The Servicer’s duties shall include collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors or of federal, state or local governmental authorities with respect to the Receivables, investigating delinquencies, sending payment statements to Obligors, reporting tax information to Obligors, accounting for collections, furnishing monthly statements to the Trustee and the Noteholder with respect to distributions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject to the servicing standards set forth in this Agreement including, without limitation, the restrictions set forth in Section 4.6, the Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Purchaser to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Purchaser or the Noteholder, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to such Receivables or to the Financed Equipment securing such Receivables. If the Servicer shall commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Receivable, the Purchaser shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned, solely for the purpose of collection, such Receivables and, to the extent required, the Other Conveyed Property, to the Servicer to the extent required to pursue such action. If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it shall be held that the Servicer may not enforce a Receivable on the ground that it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce such Receivable, the Purchaser shall, at the Servicer’s expense and direction, take steps to enforce such Receivable, including bringing suit in its name or in the name of the Noteholder, as appropriate. The Servicer shall prepare and furnish, and the Trustee upon written direction shall execute, any powers of attorney and other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder.

16


        Section 4.2.     Collection of Receivable Payments; Modifications of Receivables; Lockbox Agreements.

          (a) Consistent with the standards, policies and procedures required by this Agreement, the Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect, or arrange through Subservicers, in accordance with Section 8.4 for the collection of, all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Receivables as and when the same shall become due and shall follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to all comparable receivables that it services for itself or others and that are consistent with prudent industry standards. The Servicer will provide each Obligor with a statement or statements in order to notify such Obligors to make payments directly to the Lockbox Account. The Servicer shall allocate collections between principal and interest in accordance with the customary servicing procedures it follows with respect to all comparable receivables that it services for itself or others and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Except as provided below, the Servicer, for as long as the Originator is the Servicer, may in accordance with its customary servicing practices and procedures grant extensions on and otherwise modify any Receivable, provided, that the Servicer shall not, without the prior written consent of the Majority Noteholder, (i) reschedule the due date of any Scheduled Receivable Payment to a date more than 30 days from the original due date of such Scheduled Receivable Payment, (ii) reduce the annual percentage rate of, or extend the maturity of any Receivable or change any material term of a Receivable, except as provided by the terms of the Receivable or this Agreement or as required by law or court order or (iii) adjust the amount of any Scheduled Receivable Payment, provided that in the event the Servicer grants more than one payment extension to any Obligor or grants a payment extension with respect to a Receivable which exceeds 90 days, the related Receivable shall automatically be deemed an Ineligible Receivable and the Seller shall, within two (2) Business Days of the date such Receivable became an Ineligible Receivable, repurchase such Receivable for an amount equal to the Purchase Amount; providedfurtherthat in the event the Servicer receives a prepayment on a Receivable, it may reamortize the Receivable over its remaining term. In no event shall the principal balance of a Receivable be reduced, except in connection with a settlement in the event the Receivable becomes a Defaulted Receivable nor shall the maturity of any Receivable be extended beyond the Accrual Period immediately preceding the Final Distribution Date. The Servicer may in its discretion waive any prepayment charge, late payment charge or any other similar fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing a Receivable.

17


          (b) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Servicer shall have established the Lockbox Account with the Lockbox Bank and shall instruct all Obligors on Receivables to be sold to the Purchaser on each Advance Date to deposit all payments due on or after the related Cutoff Date directly with the Lockbox Bank. The Servicer shall direct the prompt transfer to the Collection Account (but not to any other account) of all amounts deposited into the Lockbox Account with respect to the Receivables and no other Person, except the Servicer and the Collateral Agent has authority to direct disposition of funds on deposit in the Lockbox Account; it being understood that amounts not constituting collections in respect of the Receivables are deposited into the Lockbox Account for the benefit of other Persons. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lockbox Agreement shall provide that the Lockbox Bank will comply with instructions originated by the Collateral Agent relating to the disposition of the funds in the Lockbox Account related to the Receivables without further consent by the Originator, the Seller, the Servicer or the Purchaser. The Lockbox Account shall at all times be subject to the Intercreditor Agreement pursuant to which the Trustee shall be entitled to direct the Collateral Agent to establish a segregated account in the event of the occurrence of an Event of Default. The Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility with respect to the Servicer’s directions or activities as set forth in the preceding sentence. The Lockbox Account shall not be changed without the prior written consent of the Noteholder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless the replacement lockbox account is subject to either (i) a lockbox agreement or intercreditor agreement acceptable to the Noteholder or (ii) a lockbox agreement or intercreditor agreement in a form substantially similar to that of the existing Intercreditor Agreement.

          (c) Notwithstanding any Lockbox Agreement, or any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to the Lockbox Agreement, the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Purchaser, the Trustee and the Noteholder for servicing and administering the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue thereof.

          (d) In the event the Originator shall for any reason no longer be acting as the Servicer hereunder, the Backup Servicer or a successor Servicer shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the outgoing Servicer under the Lockbox Agreement. In such event, the Backup Servicer or a successor Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed all of the outgoing Servicer’s interest therein and to have replaced the outgoing Servicer as a party to the Lockbox Agreement to the same extent as if such Lockbox Agreement had been assigned to the Backup Servicer or a successor Servicer, except that the outgoing Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations on the part of the outgoing Servicer to the Lockbox Bank under such Lockbox Agreement. The outgoing Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, but at the expense of the outgoing Servicer, deliver to the Backup Servicer or a successor Servicer all documents and records relating to the Lockbox Agreement and an accounting of amounts collected and held by the Lockbox Bank and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient assignment of any Lockbox Agreement to the Backup Servicer or a successor Servicer. In the event that the Noteholder shall elect to change the identity of the Lockbox Bank, the initial Servicer, at its expense, shall cause the Lockbox Bank to deliver, at the direction of the Noteholder, to the Trustee or a successor Lockbox Bank, all documents and records relating to the Receivables and all amounts held (or thereafter received) by the Lockbox Bank (together with an accounting of such amounts) and shall otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Lockbox arrangements. In the event the Note Purchaser or the Backup Servicer (with the consent of the Noteholder not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) elects to change the identity of the Lockbox Bank, the Note Purchaser shall pay all costs associated with such change.

18


          (e) On each Business Day, the Servicer will cause the Lockbox Bank to transfer any payments in respect of the Receivables from Obligors received in the Lockbox Account. On the first Business Day on which such funds clear, the Servicer shall cause the Lockbox Bank to transfer cleared funds in respect of the Receivables from the Lockbox Account to the Collection Account. In addition, the Servicer shall remit (or cause the Originator to remit) all payments by or on behalf of the Obligors received by the Servicer or the Originator with respect to the Receivables (other than Purchased Receivables), all Net Liquidation Proceeds and any amounts remitted to the Servicer or the Issuer no later than two (2) Business Days following receipt directly (without deposit into any intervening account) into the Collection Account. The Servicer shall not commingle its assets and funds with those on deposit in the Collection Account.

        Section 4.3.     Realization Upon Receivables. On behalf of the Purchaser and the Noteholder, the Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with the servicing standard described in Section 4.1 hereof, to repossess or otherwise convert the ownership of any Financed Equipment securing any Receivable as to which the Servicer shall have determined, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures, that eventual payment in full is unlikely. The Servicer shall, in any event, commence efforts to repossess or otherwise convert the ownership of Financed Equipment on or prior to the date that an Obligor has failed to make any portion of a Scheduled Receivable Payment in excess of $200.00 for 180 days or more; provided, however, that the Servicer may elect not to commence such efforts within such time period if in its good faith judgment it determines either that it would be impracticable to do so or that the proceeds ultimately recoverable with respect to such Receivable would be increased by forbearance. The Net Liquidation Proceeds realized in connection with the repossession of any Financed Equipment shall be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account and shall be applied to reduce the Principal Balance of the Related Receivable. The Servicer shall follow such customary and usual practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable in its servicing of equipment receivables, consistent with the standards of care set forth in Section 4.1, which may include, without limitation, using reasonable efforts to realize upon any amounts held by the Company as Dealer Recourse and selling the Financed Equipment at public or private sale. The foregoing shall be subject to the provision that, in any case in which the Financed Equipment shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not expend funds in connection with the repair or the repossession of such Financed Equipment unless it shall determine in its discretion that such repair and/or repossession will increase the proceeds ultimately recoverable with respect to such Receivable by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses. The Servicer shall identify such repossessed Financed Equipment to the Trustee in the Servicer’s Certificate not later than the Determination Date following the related Accrual Period in which the Servicer shall have made the determination to repossess such Financed Equipment.

19


        Section 4.4.     Insurance.

          (a) The initial Servicer, in accordance with the servicing procedures and standards set forth herein, shall require that (i) each Obligor shall have obtained insurance covering Financed Equipment as of the date of the origination of the Receivable, insuring against loss and damage due to fire, theft, transportation, collision and other risks generally covered by comprehensive and collision coverage and each Receivable requires the Obligor to maintain such physical loss and damage insurance naming Originator and its successors and assigns as additional insureds and (ii) as to each Receivable that includes the cost of an extended service contract, the respective Financed Equipment which secures the Receivable is covered by an extended service contract. The initial Servicer shall enforce its rights under the Receivables to require the Obligors to maintain aforementioned insurance coverage in accordance with the Servicer’s customary practices and procedures.

          (b) To the extent applicable, the initial Servicer shall not take any action which would result in noncoverage under any Receivables Insurance Policy which, but for the actions of the Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. The initial Servicer, on behalf of the Purchaser, shall take such reasonable action as shall be necessary to facilitate recovery under each Receivables Insurance Policy. Any amounts collected by the initial Servicer under any Receivables Insurance Policy, including, without limitation, proceeds thereof, shall be deposited in the Collection Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt by the Servicer.

        Section 4.5.     Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Equipment.

          (a) Consistent with the terms of this Agreement and consistent with the servicing standard described in Section 4.1 hereof, the Servicer shall take such steps on behalf of the Purchaser as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest in the Financed Equipment which secures the corresponding Related Receivable, including but not limited to, obtaining the authorization of the Obligors and the recording, registering, filing, re-recording, re-registering and refiling of all security agreements, financing statements and continuation statements or instruments as are necessary to maintain the security interest granted by the Obligors with respect to the Related Receivables. The Trustee hereby authorizes the Servicer, and the Servicer agrees to take any and all steps necessary to re-perfect or continue the perfection of such security interest on behalf of the Purchaser and the Noteholder as necessary, including without limitation, the filing of financing statements and continuation statements as necessary because of the relocation of any Obligor or any Financed Equipment or for any other reason. In the event that the assignment of a Receivable to the Purchaser, and the pledge thereof by the Purchaser to the Trustee is insufficient without fulfilling any additional administrative requirements under the laws of the state in which the Financed Equipment is located, to perfect a security interest in the related Financed Equipment in favor of the Trustee, each of the Trustee and the Seller hereby agrees that the Seller’s designation as the secured party on the filed UCC statements is in respect of the Seller’s capacity as agent of the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholder.

20


          (b) Upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, the successor Servicer shall take or cause to be taken such action as may be necessary to perfect or re-perfect the security interests in the Financed Equipment securing the Receivables in the name of the Trustee on behalf of the Noteholder by amending the UCC statements filed with respect to such Financed Equipment or by such other reasonable means as may, in the opinion of counsel to the Trustee, which opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee, be necessary or prudent. The Seller hereby agrees to pay all expenses related to such perfection or re-perfection and to take all action necessary therefor. In addition, the Noteholder may instruct the successor Servicer to take or cause to be taken such action as may, in the opinion of counsel to the Noteholder, be necessary to perfect or re-perfect the security interest in the Financed Equipment underlying the Receivables in the name of the Trustee on behalf of the Noteholder, including by amending the UCC statements filed with respect to such Financed Equipment or by such other reasonable means as may, in the opinion of counsel to the Noteholder, be necessary or prudent.

          (c) Upon transfer of servicing, the predecessor servicer shall cooperate with the successor Servicer and will provide all relevant information (books, records, schedules) relating to then-current status of all UCC filings as well as the names of each vendor retained in connection therewith. The successor Servicer shall be entitled to recover its costs thereby expended.

        Section 4.6.     Additional Covenants of Servicer. The Servicer hereby makes the following covenants to the Purchaser and the Trustee and the Servicer acknowledges that the Custodian shall rely on these covenants in accepting the Receivables in trust and the Trustee shall rely thereon in authenticating the Note:

          (a) The Servicer shall not release the Financed Equipment securing each Receivable from the security interest granted by such Receivable in whole or in part except in the event of payment in full by the Obligor thereunder or repossession or other liquidation of the Financed Equipment related to the released Receivable, nor shall the Servicer impair the rights of the Noteholder in such Receivables, nor shall the Servicer amend or otherwise modify a Receivable, except as permitted in accordance with Section 4.2.

          (b) The Servicer shall obtain and/or maintain all necessary licenses, approvals, authorizations, orders or other actions of any person, corporation or other organization, or of any court, governmental agency or body or official, required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Servicer of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Basic Documents.

          (c) In accordance with Section 4.1, the Servicer shall not adopt written policies and procedures governing its servicing practices or make any material changes to its collection practices and procedures which could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the enforceability or collectability of any of the Receivables, unless the Noteholder expressly consents in writing prior to the adoption of such written policies or implementation of such material changes (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

21


          (d) So long as the Originator is acting as Servicer hereunder, the Servicer shall provide written notice to the Majority Noteholder of any default, event of default or servicer termination event that has occurred under any other warehouse financing facility or securitization transaction which has a maximum principal amount of $500,000 or greater and which default, event of default or Servicer termination shall not have been waived or otherwise cured within the applicable cure period.

        Section 4.7.     Purchase of Receivables Upon Breach of Covenant. Upon discovery by any Executive Officer of the Seller, the Servicer, the Purchaser, the Custodian or the Trustee of a breach of any of the covenants or agreements of the Servicer set forth in Section 2.1(b), Section 4.2(a), Section 4.4 or Section 4.5, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the others; provided, however, that the failure to give any such notice shall not affect any obligation of the Servicer under this Section 4.7. Unless the breach shall have been cured on or prior to the date which occurs sixty (60) days following the date of discovery of such breach, the initial Servicer shall purchase any Receivable materially and adversely affected by such breach. In consideration of the purchase of such Receivable, the initial Servicer shall remit the Purchase Amount for such Receivable in the manner specified in Section 5.5. The sole remedy of the Trustee, the Purchaser or the Noteholder with respect to a breach of Section 4.2(a), Section 4.4 or Section 4.5 shall be to require the initial Servicer to repurchase Receivables pursuant to this Section 4.7; provided, however, that the initial Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Purchaser and the Noteholder against all 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. Upon receipt of the Purchase Amount in respect of any Defective Receivables as described herein and written instructions from the Servicer, the Trustee shall release to the Seller or its designee the related Receivable File and Other Conveyed Property and shall execute and deliver all reasonable instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, as are prepared by the Seller and delivered to the Trustee and necessary or desirable to vest in the Seller or such designee title to such Defective Receivables.

        Section 4.8.     Servicing Fee and Expenses. The “Servicing Fee” for each Payment Date shall be equal to the product of (x) one twelfth and (y) the product of (i) the Servicing Fee Percentage and (ii) the average of the Aggregate Principal Balance (plus accrued and unpaid interest) of the Receivables, as measured on the first day of the related Accrual Period and on the last day of such Accrual Period. The Servicing Fee shall also include all late fees, prepayment charges including in the case of a Rule 78‘s Receivable that is prepaid in full, to the extent not required by law to be remitted to the related Obligor, the difference between the Principal Balance of such Rule of 78‘s Receivable (plus accrued interest to the date of prepayment) and the principal balance of such Receivable computed according to the “Rule of 78‘s,” and other administrative fees or similar charges allowed by applicable law with respect to Receivables, collected (from whatever source) on the Receivables. If the Backup Servicer becomes the successor Servicer, the “Servicing Fee” payable to the Backup Servicer as successor Servicer shall be as described in the Backup Servicer Fee Letter. The Servicer and any successor Servicer shall be required to pay from its own account all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder (including fees and disbursements of counsel and independent accountants, and expenses incurred in connection with distributions, reports to the Noteholder and taxes imposed on the Servicer) except expenses reimbursable to the Backup Servicer pursuant to the Backup Servicer Fee Letter.

22


        Section 4.9.     Servicer’s Certificate. No later than 12:00 noon New York City time on each Determination Date, the Servicer shall deliver (electronic or facsimile delivery being acceptable) to the Trustee, the Rating Agencies, the Back-up Servicer, the Noteholder and the Purchaser, a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto (a “Servicer’s Certificate”) for the Accrual Period immediately preceding such Determination Date, which Servicer’s Certificate shall contain among other things, (i) all information necessary to enable the Trustee to make any withdrawal and deposit required under Section 5.4 and to make the distributions required by Section 5.6, (ii) all information necessary for the Trustee to send statements to the Noteholder pursuant to Section 5.7(b) and Section 5.8, (iii) a listing of all Receivables purchased during the related Accrual Period, which identifies the Receivables so purchased as well as all Purchased Receivables acquired by the Servicer or Seller during such Accrual Period, (iv) the calculation of the Borrowing Base and the Borrowing Base Deficiency, if any, (v) all information necessary to enable the Backup Servicer to verify the information specified in Section 4.14(a) and (b) and (vi) amounts due or owing under any Hedge Agreement. The Servicer shall in addition deliver to the Rating Agencies any information, to the extent it is available to the Servicer, that the Rating Agencies reasonably request in order to monitor the Receivables. Subsequent to the Closing Date, the form of Servicer’s Certificate may be revised or modified to cure any ambiguities or inconsistencies with this Agreement; provided, however, that no material information shall be deleted from the form of Servicer’s Certificate without the prior written consent of the Majority Noteholder. In the event that the form of Servicer’s Certificate is revised or modified in accordance with the preceding sentence, a copy thereof, as so revised or modified, shall be provided to the Trustee, the Back-up Servicer and each Rating Agency.

        Section 4.10.     Annual Statement as to Compliance, Notice of Servicer Termination Event.

          (a) The Servicer shall deliver to the Purchaser, to the Trustee for delivery to the Noteholder, the Backup Servicer and each Rating Agency, on or before February 28 of each year beginning February 28, 2006, an Officer’s Certificate, dated as of December 31 of the preceding year, stating that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding 12-month period (or, in the case of the first such certificate, the period from the initial Cutoff Date to December 31, 2005) and of its performance under this Agreement has been made under such officer’s supervision and (ii) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year (or, in the case of the first such certificate, such shorter period), or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof.

          (b) The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the Noteholder, the Backup Servicer and each Rating Agency, promptly after an Executive Officer of the Servicer has obtained knowledge thereof, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter, written notice in an Officer’s Certificate of any event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a Servicer Termination Event under Section 9.1.

23


        Section 4.11.     Independent Accountants’ Reports. The Servicer shall cause a firm of nationally recognized independent certified public accountants (the “Independent Accountants”), who may also render other services to the Servicer or to the Purchaser, to deliver to the Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Noteholder and each Rating Agency, on or before March 31 of each year beginning March 31, 2006, a report dated as of December 31 of the preceding year in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Noteholder (the “Accountants’ Report”) and reviewing the Servicer’s activities during the preceding 12-month period (or, in the case of the first such report, the period from the initial Cutoff Date with respect to Receivables transferred to the Purchaser on the Closing Date to December 31, 2005), addressed to the Board of Directors of the Servicer, to the Trustee, the Backup Servicer and to the Noteholder, to the effect that such firm has examined the financial statements of the Servicer and the Servicer’s records relating to the Receivables and that such examinations (1) were made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, and accordingly included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as such firm considered necessary in the circumstances; (2) included tests relevant to equipment receivables serviced for others in accordance with prevailing industry standards for servicing similar equipment receivables; (3) included an examination of the delinquency and loss statistics relating to the Servicer’s portfolio of equipment installment sale contracts; and (4) except as described in the report, such examinations disclosed no exceptions or errors in the records relating to equipment receivables serviced for others that, in the firm’s opinion are required to be reported based on GAAP. The Accountant’s Report shall further state that (1) a review in accordance with agreed upon procedures (as set forth in Schedule C hereto) was made of three randomly selected Servicer’s Certificates; (2) except as disclosed in the report, no exceptions or errors in the Servicer’s Certificates were found; and (3) the delinquency and loss information relating to the Receivables and the stated amount of Liquidated Receivables, if any, contained in the Servicer’s Certificates were found to be accurate. The Report will also indicate that the firm is independent of the Servicer within the meaning of the Code of Professional Ethics of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

        Section 4.12.     Backup Servicer's Accountants' Reports.

          (a) In the event the Secured Parties are receiving payments pursuant to 5.6(c) hereof and the Cash Reserve Amount is insufficient to pay the amounts payable in connection with the preparation of the Accountant’s Report, the Backup Servicer shall instead prepare a report which complies with the requirements of Section 4.12 (b) below.

          (b) The Backup Servicer shall cause Independent Accountants who may also render other services to the Backup Servicer or to its affiliates, to deliver to the Trustee, the Noteholder and each Rating Agency within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, an Accountants’ Report dated as of December 31 of the preceding year (commencing after the Backup Servicer has become a successor servicer hereunder) (i) an opinion by such Independent Accountants on the financial position of the Backup Servicer at the end of the relevant fiscal year and the results of operations and changes in financial position of the Backup Servicer for such year then ended on the basis of an examination conducted in accordance with GAAP, and (ii) a report from such Independent Accountants to the effect that based on an examination of certain specified documents and records relating to the servicing of the Backup Servicer’s loan portfolio conducted substantially in compliance with SAS 70 (the “Applicable Accounting Standards”), such firm is of the opinion that such servicing has been conducted in compliance with the Applicable Accounting Standards except for (a) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial and (b) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement.

24


        Section 4.13.     Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding Receivables. The Servicer shall provide to representatives of the Trustee, the Backup Servicer and the Majority Noteholder reasonable access to the documentation regarding the Receivables. Prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, such access shall be afforded to the Majority Noteholder once annually without charge, upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours. During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Majority Noteholder shall have reasonable access to documentation regarding the Receivables at any time during normal business hours upon reasonable notice. Nothing in this Section shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe all applicable laws prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors, and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section.

        Section 4.14.     Backup Servicer’s Duties. Concurrently with the delivery by the Servicer of the Servicer’s Certificate each month, the Servicer will deliver to the Backup Servicer a computer diskette (or other electronic transmission) in a format acceptable to the Backup Servicer containing information with respect to the Receivables as of the close of business on the last day of the preceding Interest Period which information is necessary for preparation of the Servicer’s Certificate (the “Monthly Verification File”). The Backup Servicer shall use such Monthly Verification File to verify certain information specified in Section 4.14(b) contained in the Servicer’s Certificate delivered by the Servicer, and the Backup Servicer shall notify the Servicer and the Noteholder of any discrepancies on or before the third Business Day following the receipt of the Servicer’s Certificate and the Monthly Verification File and in no event later than the Business Day immediately preceding the related Payment Date. In the event that the Backup Servicer reports any discrepancies, the Servicer shall attempt to reconcile such discrepancies by the related Payment Date, but in the absence of a reconciliation, the Servicer’s Certificate shall control for the purpose of calculations and distributions with respect to the related Payment Date. In the event that the Servicer is unable to reconcile discrepancies with respect to a Servicer’s Certificate by the related Payment Date, the Backup Servicer shall notify the Noteholder thereof in writing and the Servicer shall cause a firm of independent certified public accountants, at the Servicer’s expense, to audit the Servicer’s Certificate and, prior to the fifth day of the following calendar month, reconcile such discrepancies. The effect, if any, of such reconciliation shall be reflected in the Servicer’s Certificate for such next succeeding Determination Date. Other than the duties specifically set forth in this Agreement, the Backup Servicer shall have no obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, to supervise, verify, monitor or administer the performance of the Servicer. The Backup Servicer shall have no liability for any actions taken or omitted by the Servicer.

          (a) The Backup Servicer shall review each Servicer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 4.14 and shall:

          (i)     confirm that such Servicer’s Certificate is complete on its face; and

          (ii)     confirm that Available Funds, the Noteholder’s Principal Distributable Amount, the Noteholder’s Monthly Cap Distributable Amount, the Noteholder’s Interest Distributable Amount, the Servicing Fee, the Backup Servicing Fee, the Trustee Fee, Loss Ratio and Delinquency Ratio (as well as all calculations related to delinquency, aging, default and aggregate principal balance) in the Servicer’s Certificate are accurate based solely on the recalculation of the Servicer’s Certificate and the Monthly Verification File.

25


          (b) The Backup Servicer will work with the Servicer’s personnel to obtain systems data information from the servicing systems used by the Servicer (the “Data File Layouts and Definitions”) in servicing the Receivables. The Servicer shall provide to the Backup Servicer a test data file, which shall include the loan master file, the transaction history file and all other files necessary to carryout the service-related activities (the “Test Data File”), in a format acceptable to the Backup Servicer. Using this information, the Backup Servicer will map the data from the Servicer’s system to the Backup Servicer’s data structure (“Data Mapping”). The Backup Servicer shall confirm in writing to the Servicer and the Majority Noteholder that it has completed the data mapping matrix, and received and verified the completeness of the Test Data File within 90 days of receipt of the Data File Layouts and Definitions and the Test Data File. On or before the fifth calendar day of each month, the Servicer will provide to the Backup Servicer a monthly file consistent with the Test Data File (the “Monthly Servicing File”) and the Backup Servicer shall verify that the records and data contained in the Monthly Servicing File are in a readable format; and store the file in a secure location. For avoidance of doubt, this file will not be used in the verification duties and will not be checked monthly for accuracy. The Backup Servicer’s verification duties are conditioned upon timely receipt of any information reports or data required in order to complete its verification duties.

          (c) The Backup Servicer shall undertake to perform only such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, it being expressly understood by all parties hereto that there are no implied duties or obligations of the Backup Servicer hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Backup Servicer, except as expressly set forth herein, shall have no obligation to supervise, verify, monitor or administer the performance of the Servicer. The Backup Servicer may act through its agents, attorneys and custodians in performing any of its duties hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Basic Documents, the Backup Servicer shall have no liability for any actions taken or omitted by the Servicer or its agents or the inaccuracy of any data provided, produced or supplied by the Servicer or its agents. The Backup Servicer may accept and reasonably rely on all accounting and servicing records and other documentation provided to the Backup Servicer by or at the direction of the Servicer, including documents prepared or maintained by any party providing services related to the Receivables. In the event the Backup Servicer becomes aware of errors and/or continuing errors which, in the opinion of the Backup Servicer, impair its ability to perform its services hereunder, the Backup Servicer shall promptly notify the other parties hereto of such errors and/or continuing errors. The Backup Servicer may undertake to reconstruct any data or records appropriate to correct such errors and/or continuing errors and to prevent future continuing errors. The Backup Servicer shall be entitled to recover its costs thereby expended with written consent of the Majority Noteholder. Neither the Backup Servicer nor any of the directors or officers or employees or agents of the Backup Servicer shall be under any liability to the other parties hereto except as provided in this Agreement for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Backup Servicer or any such person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties, by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement or any violation of law by the Backup Servicer or such Person, as the case may be.

26


          (d) The Servicer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Backup Servicer and its respective officers and employees against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other reasonable costs, fees and expenses that the Backup Servicer may sustain in any way related to the negligence or willful misconduct of any third party (other than the Backup Servicer and its agents, attorneys, representatives and contractors) with respect to the Receivables. The Backup Servicer shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability (collectively, “liability”) for the acts or omissions of any such third party (other than the Backup Servicer and its agents, attorneys, representatives and contractors). If any error, inaccuracy or omission (collectively, “error”) exists in any information provided to the Backup Servicer by the Servicer and such errors cause or materially contribute to the Backup Servicer making or continuing any error (collectively, “continuing errors”), the Backup Servicer shall have no liability for such continuing errors; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Backup Servicer against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of (i) willful misconduct or negligence in discovering or correcting any error or (ii) any breach of this Agreement.

          (e) The Backup Servicer shall have no responsibility and shall not be in default hereunder or incur any liability for any failure, error, malfunction or any delay in carrying out any of its duties under this Agreement if such failure or delay in carrying out any of its duties under this Agreement results from the Backup Servicer acting in accordance with information prepared or supplied by a Person other than the Backup Servicer (or its agents, attorneys, representatives and contractors) or the failure of any such other Person to prepare or provide such information, so long as such failure is not caused directly or indirectly by the Backup Servicer, its agents, attorneys, representatives or contractors. The Backup Servicer shall have no responsibility, shall not be in default and shall incur no liability for (i) any act or failure to act of any third party (other than the Backup Servicer or its agents, attorneys, representatives and contractors), including the Servicer, (ii) any inaccuracy or omission in a notice or communication received by the Backup Servicer from any third party (other than the Backup Servicer and its agents, attorneys, representatives and contractors), (iii) the invalidity or unenforceability of any Receivable under applicable law, (iv) the breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made with respect to any Receivable or Financed Equipment or (v) the acts or omissions of any successor standby servicer.

          (f) The Backup Servicer and any director, officer employee or agent of the Backup Servicer may rely in good faith on the advice of counsel.

27


        Section 4.15.     Retention and Termination of Servicer. The Servicer hereby covenants and agrees to act as Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the Receivables for an initial term commencing on the Closing Date and ending on March 31, 2005, which term will automatically be extended by the Majority Noteholder for successive quarterly terms ending on each successive June 30, September 30, December 31, and March 31, provided, however, that the automatic quarterly renewal of the initial Servicer hereunder shall only terminate (which termination shall be automatic) upon the occurrence of a Servicer Financial Threshold Event or upon the payment of the Note in full (each such notice, including each notice pursuant to standing instructions, which shall be deemed delivered at the end of successive terms for so long as such instructions are in effect, a “Servicer Extension Notice”). The Servicer hereby agrees that, upon its receipt (or deemed receipt) of a Servicer Extension Notice, the Servicer shall become bound, for the duration of the term covered by such Servicer Extension Notice, to continue as the Servicer subject to, and in accordance with, the other provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer and the Majority Noteholder agree to promptly notify in writing the Trustee and the Backup Servicer upon the occurrence of a Servicer Financial Threshold Event. In the event the Backup Servicer is terminated in its capacity as the Servicer under this Section 4.15, the Majority Noteholder agrees to give the Backup Servicer sixty (60) days advance notice of such termination and shall pay to the Backup Servicer an amount equal to the Backup Servicing Fees for one Interest Accrual Period on the final day of its tenure as servicer hereunder.

        Section 4.16.     Fidelity Bond. The Servicer shall maintain a fidelity bond in such form and amount as is customary for entities acting as custodian of funds and documents in respect of retail installment contracts on behalf of institutional investors.

        Section 4.17.     Lien Searches; Opinions as to Transfers and Security Interests. The initial Servicer shall, on the Closing Date and thereafter annually on or before each anniversary of the Closing Date, deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Trustee and the Majority Noteholder an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Majority Noteholder which provides that (a) all financing statements and continuation statements have been authorized and filed as are necessary to fully preserve and protect the interests of the Purchaser, the Noteholder and the Trustee in the Receivables and the Collateral, and reciting the details of such filings or referring to a prior Opinion of Counsel in which such details are given, (b) the “backup security interest” with respect to the transfers of Receivables and, to the extent applicable, related Other Conveyed Property hereunder and under each related Assignment is valid and enforceable, (c) the security interest in connection with the pledge of Collateral to the Trustee under the Indenture is valid and enforceable and (d) the perfection and first priority of the transfers and pledges referred to in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above. To the extent each such Opinion of Counsel is in any manner reliant on UCC lien searches, each such UCC lien search shall be dated no earlier than thirty (30) days prior to the date of each such related Opinion of Counsel, and shall be accompanied by officer’s certificates from the appropriate parties certifying that no filings subsequent to the dates of such lien searches have been made. Such Opinion of Counsel shall state, among other things, that, in the opinion of such counsel, either (A) all financing statements and continuation statements have been authorized and filed that are necessary to perfect the interest of the Purchaser, the Noteholder and the Trustee in the Collateral, and reciting the details of such filings or referring to prior Opinions of Counsel in which such details are given, or (B) no such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interest. The Opinion of Counsel referred to in this Section 4.17 shall specify any action necessary (as of the date of such opinion) to be taken to preserve and protect such interest.

ARTICLE V

ACCOUNTS; DISTRIBUTIONS; STATEMENTS TO THE NOTEHOLDER

        Section 5.1.     Establishment of Pledged Accounts.

          (a) The Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholder, shall establish and maintain a separately identifiable deposit account in its own name which account shall be an Eligible Account (the “Collection Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholder. The Collection Account shall at all times be established with a Qualified Institution which shall initially be the Trustee.

          (b) The Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholder, shall establish and maintain a separately identifiable deposit account in its own name which account shall be an Eligible Account (the “Note Distribution Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholder. The Note Distribution Account shall at all times be established with a Qualified Institution which shall initially be the Trustee.

          (c) The Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholder, shall establish and maintain a separately identifiable deposit account in its own name which account shall be an Eligible Account (the “Reserve Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholder. The Reserve Account shall at all times be established with a Qualified Institution which shall initially be the Trustee.

          (d) The Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholder, shall establish and maintain a separately identifiable deposit account in its own name which account shall be an Eligible Account (the “Cap Distribution Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholder. The Cap Distribution Account shall at all times be established with a Qualified Institution which shall initially be the Trustee.

          (e) Should any depositary of a Pledged Account cease to be a Qualified Institution, then the Trustee shall, with the Noteholder’s assistance as necessary, cause such account to be moved, upon thirty (30) days notice to the Servicer and the Noteholder, to a Qualified Institution, unless the Trustee provides the Noteholder with a letter from the Rating Agencies to the effect that the current ratings assigned to the Note by the Rating Agencies will not be adversely affected by such depositary’s ceasing to be a Qualified Institution.

29


          (f) Funds on deposit in the Collection Account, the Reserve Account, the Note Distribution Account and the Cap Distribution Account (collectively, the “Pledged Accounts”) shall be invested by the Trustee (or any custodian with respect to funds on deposit in any such account) in Eligible Investments selected in writing by the Servicer or, after the resignation or termination of the Originator as Servicer, by the Noteholder (pursuant to standing instructions or otherwise). All such Eligible Investments shall be held by or on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholder. Unless the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied and the Noteholder consents thereto , funds on deposit in any Pledged Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments that will mature so that such funds will be available at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the following Payment Date. Funds deposited in a Pledged Account on the day immediately preceding a Payment Date upon the maturity of any Eligible Investments are not required to be invested overnight. All Eligible Investments will be held to maturity.

          (g) All investment earnings on amounts on deposit in the Pledged Accounts shall be deposited (or caused to be deposited) by the Trustee in the Collection Account for distribution pursuant to Section 5.6, and any loss resulting from such investments shall be charged to such account. The Originator as Servicer will not direct the Trustee to make any investment of any funds held in any of the Pledged Accounts unless the security interest granted and perfected in such account will continue to be perfected in such investment, in either case without any further action by any Person, and, in connection with any direction to the Trustee to make any such investment, if requested by the Trustee, the Originator as Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, acceptable to the Trustee, to such effect.

          (h) The Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in any of the Pledged Accounts resulting from any loss on any Eligible Investment included therein except for losses attributable to the Trustee’s negligence or bad faith or its failure to make payments on such Eligible Investments issued by the Trustee, in its commercial capacity as principal obligor and not as trustee, in accordance with their terms.

          (i) If (i) the Originator as Servicer or the Noteholder, as applicable, shall have failed to give investment directions for any funds on deposit in the Pledged Accounts to the Trustee by 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time (or such other time as may be agreed by the Purchaser and Trustee) on any Business Day; or (ii) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Note but the Note shall not have been declared due and payable, or (iii) if the Note shall have been declared due and payable following an Event of Default and amounts collected or receivable from the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property are being applied as if there had not been such a declaration; then the Trustee shall, to the fullest extent practicable, invest and reinvest funds in the Pledged Accounts in an Eligible Investment in accordance with the written direction of the Noteholder or in the case of (i) above, in the Eligible Investments of its election.

30


          (j) The Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Pledged Accounts and in all proceeds thereof (including all Investment Earnings on the Pledged Accounts) and all such funds, investments, proceeds and income shall be part of the Other Conveyed Property. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Pledged Accounts shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholder. If at any time any of the Pledged Accounts ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Originator as Servicer with the consent of the Noteholder shall within five Business Days establish a new Pledged Account as an Eligible Account and shall transfer any cash and/or any investments to such new Pledged Account. The Servicer shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies, the Trustee and the Noteholder of any change in the location of any of the Pledged Accounts. In connection with the foregoing, the Originator as Servicer agrees that, in the event that any of the Pledged Accounts are not accounts with the Trustee, the Originator as Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the Noteholder in writing promptly upon any of such Pledged Accounts ceasing to be an Eligible Account.

          (k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other document relating to a Trust Account, the “securities intermediary’s jurisdiction” (within the meaning of Section 8-110 of the UCC) or the “bank’s jurisdiction” (with the meaning of 9-304 of the UCC) as applicable, with respect to each Pledged Account shall be the State of New York.

          (l) With respect to the Pledged Account Property, the Trustee agrees that:

          (i)     any Pledged Account Property that is held in deposit accounts shall be held solely in an Eligible Account; and, except as otherwise provided herein, each such Eligible Account shall be subject to the exclusive custody and control of the Trustee and the Trustee shall have sole signature authority with respect thereto;

          (ii)     any Pledged Account Property shall be delivered to the Trustee in accordance with the definition of “Delivery”; and

          (iii)     the Servicer shall have the power, revocable by the Majority Noteholder, to instruct the Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the Pledged Accounts for the purpose of permitting the Servicer and the Trustee to carry out their respective duties hereunder.

        Section 5.2.     Certain Reimbursements to the Servicer. The Servicer will be entitled to be reimbursed from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account with respect to each Accrual Period for amounts previously deposited in the Collection Account but later determined by the Servicer to have resulted from mistaken deposits or postings. The Collection Account shall also be debited for any checks returned for insufficient funds. The amount to be reimbursed hereunder shall be returned to the Servicer on the related Payment Date pursuant to Section 5.6 upon certification by the Servicer of such amounts and the provision of such information to the Trustee and the Majority Noteholder as may be reasonably necessary in the opinion of the Noteholder to verify the accuracy of such certification; provided, however, that the Servicer must provide such certification within three (3) months of it becoming aware of such mistaken deposit or posting. In the event that the Majority Noteholder has not received evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the Servicer’s entitlement to reimbursement pursuant to this Section, the Majority Noteholder shall give the Trustee notice to such effect, following receipt of which the Trustee shall not make a distribution to the Servicer in respect of such amount pursuant to Section 5.6, or if prior thereto the Servicer has been reimbursed pursuant to Section 5.6, the Trustee shall withhold such amounts from amounts otherwise distributable to the Servicer on the next succeeding Payment Date. In the event the Servicer collects evidence satisfactory to the Majority Noteholder of its entitlement to a reimbursement hereunder after the termination of the three (3) month period referenced above, the Servicer may reapply to the Trustee for reimbursement of such funds, provided however that the Servicer acknowledges that no interest shall accrue on such amounts during the period such amounts are held by the Trustee.

31


        Section 5.3.     Application of Collections. All collections for each Accrual Period shall be applied by the Servicer as follows:

          With respect to each Receivable, payments by or on behalf of the Obligor shall be applied, in the case of a Rule of 78‘s Receivable, first, to the Scheduled Receivable Payment of such Rule of 78‘s Receivable and, second, to any late fees accrued with respect to such Rule of 78‘s Receivable and, in the case of a Simple Interest Receivable, first, to interest and principal in accordance with the Simple Interest Method, and, second, to any late fees accrued with respect to such Simple Interest Receivable.

On each Funding Date, the Purchaser shall deposit, to the extent necessary, a portion of the related Advance into the Reserve Account so that the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account equals the Required Reserve Account Amount.

          (b) In the event that the Servicer’s Certificate with respect to any Determination Date shall state that the amounts described in subclauses (i) through (viii) inclusive, of the “Available Funds” definition with respect to the related Payment Date are insufficient to make any portion of the payments required to be made on the related Payment Date pursuant to Section 5.6(b)(i), Section 5.6(b)(ii), Section 5.6(b)(iii), Section 5.6(b)(iv), and Section 5.6(b)(v) inclusive (the amount of such deficiency being a “Deficiency Claim Amount”), then on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Payment Date (the “Deficiency Claim Date”), the Trustee shall deliver to the Majority Noteholder and the Servicer, by hand delivery, electronic or facsimile transmission, a written notice (a “Deficiency Notice”) specifying the Deficiency Claim Amount for such Payment Date which identifies the portion of the Deficiency Claim Amount allocable to each item in subclauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) of Section 5.6(b). The Trustee shall withdraw an amount equal to such Deficiency Claim Amount from the Reserve Account (to the extent of funds on deposit therein), for deposit in the Collection Account on the related Payment Date; provided that in applying amounts withdrawn from the Reserve Account, the Trustee shall apply the portion of the Reserve Account consisting of subclause (i) of the Cash Reserve Amount solely to the payment of all reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses (including accountants fees incurred in connection with delivering the Accountant’s Report hereunder and any Backup Servicer Fees payable to the Backup Servicer in the event of a termination in accordance with Section 4.15 hereof), indemnities and transition costs (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or the Backup Servicer.

          (d) Following the Facility Termination Date, all amounts, or any portion thereof, on deposit in the Reserve Account will be deposited into the Collection Account for distribution pursuant to Section 5.6.

          (e) On any Payment Date prior to the Facility Termination Date on which, after all distributions required to be made on such Payment Date pursuant to Section 5.6(b) have been made, the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account exceeds the Required Reserve Account Amount, the Trustee shall withdraw such excess and distribute the same to the Purchaser or its designee in accordance with Section 5.6(b)(xv).

        Section 5.5.     Additional Deposits. On each Funding Date, the Purchaser shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection Account the aggregate Purchase Price with respect to Purchased Receivables.

          (d) Valid Sale; Binding Obligations. This Agreement effects a valid sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property to the Purchaser, enforceable against the Seller and creditors of and purchasers from the Seller; and this Agreement and the Basic Documents to which the Seller is a party, when duly executed and delivered by each party hereto and thereto, shall constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Seller 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 certificate of formation or limited liability company agreement of the Seller, or any indenture, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument to which the Seller is a party or by which it is bound, 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 applicable law, order, rule or regulation of any court or of any federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Seller or any of its properties.

Seller is not transferring any Receivables with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors.

          (a) Changes to Originator’s Underwriting Practices and Procedures. In accordance with Section 4.1 hereof, the Originator covenants that it will not consent to any material changes to the Originator’s Underwriting Practices and Procedures, or its classification of Obligors unless (i) the Majority Noteholder expressly consents in writing prior to any changes which may adversely affect the enforceability, value or collectability of the Receivables (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) and (ii) prior to giving effect to any such changes, the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied.

          (c) Cross Collateralized Contracts. With respect to any series of Contracts owned by the Originator or the Seller and executed by the same Obligor (where one or more of such Contracts constitutes part of the Receivables and one or more of which is retained by the Originator or the Seller) which contain one or more “cross-collateralization” or similar provisions, the effect of which is to provide that the equipment or other assets financed thereunder may serve as security for any other obligation of such Obligor (such Contracts, the “Cross Collateralized Contracts”) the Originator and the Seller hereby disclaim any right, title or interest in or to any Financed Equipment related to Receivables sold hereunder and under the Purchase and Sale Agreement, and, to the extent the Originator or the Seller is deemed to have any interest in any such Financed Equipment based on the operation of such provisions, the Originator and the Seller, as applicable hereby subordinate any interest they may have in such Financed Equipment to the claims or rights of the Issuer and the Trustee on behalf of the Noteholder with respect to such Financed Equipment. In addition, the Originator and the Seller agree not to sell any Contract owned by the Originator or the Seller 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 or under the Purchase and Sale Agreement, (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 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 disclaimer acknowledgement and a subordination agreement substantially similar to those set forth in subclauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph.

If the 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 Originator Indemnified Party, the Originator, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Originator Indemnified Party shall be bound by the results obtained by the Originator Indemnified Party with respect to such claim.

        Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 7.7 or any other provision of this Agreement, nothing herein shall be construed as to require any Gehl Party which provides indemnification hereunder to provide any indemnification hereunder or under any other Basic Document for any Losses incurred in connection with credit losses with respect to the Receivables or the Financed Equipment.

          (c) The Servicer, so long as it is the Originator, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser, the Seller, the Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Noteholder, any successor servicer and their respective officers, directors, agents and employees from and against any taxes that may at any time be asserted against any of such parties with respect to the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, including, without limitation, any sales, gross receipts, general corporation, limited liability company, tangible personal property, privilege or license taxes (but not including any federal or other income or franchise taxes, including income or franchise taxes asserted with respect to, and as of the date of, the sale of the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property to the Purchaser, the pledge thereof to the Trustee or the issuance and original sale of the Note) and costs and expenses incurred in defending against the same.

          (d) The Servicer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser, the Seller, the Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Noteholder and their respective officers, directors, agents and employees from and against any and all Losses to the extent that such Losses arose out of, or were imposed upon the Purchaser, the Seller, the Trustee, the Backup Servicer or the Noteholder as a result of the negligence, willful malfeasance or bad faith of the Servicer in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or by reason of reckless disregard by the Servicer of its obligations and duties under this Agreement or as a result of a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement made by the Servicer in this Agreement.

          (e) The Originator shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Trustee and the Backup Servicer from and against all Losses arising out of or incurred in connection with the acceptance or performance of the trusts and duties herein contained, except to the extent that such cost, expense, loss, claim, damage or liability: (A) shall be due to the willful malfeasance, bad faith, or negligence (except for errors in judgment) of the Trustee or the Backup Servicer, as applicable or (B) relates to any tax other than the taxes with respect to which the Servicer shall be required to indemnify the Trustee or the Backup Servicer.

          (g) For purposes of this Section 8.2, in the event of the termination of the rights and obligations of the Servicer (or any successor thereto pursuant to Section 8.3) pursuant to Section 9.1, or a resignation by such Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, such Servicer shall be deemed to be the Servicer pending appointment of a successor Servicer pursuant to Section 9.2. The provisions of this Section 8.2(c) shall in no way affect the survival pursuant to Section 8.2(g) of the indemnification by the Servicer provided by Section 8.2(a).

        Indemnification under this Section 8.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and any resignation or removal of the Originator as Servicer or any successor Servicer as Servicer (with respect to claims arising prior to the date of such resignation of removal) and shall include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. If the Servicer shall have made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section and the recipient thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, the recipient shall promptly repay such amounts to the Servicer, without interest. Any party seeking indemnification under this Section 8.2 (a “Servicer Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the Servicer 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 Servicer Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification hereunder, the Servicer shall have the right, at its own expense, to participate in or assume the defense thereof from the party seeking indemnification, so long as the Servicer acknowledges its indemnification obligation to the applicable Servicer Indemnified Party and such party shall fully cooperate with the Servicer subject to reimbursement for actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred as a result of such request by the Servicer, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Purchaser or the Noteholder is or could have been a party or indemnity could have been sought hereunder by the Purchaser or the Noteholder without the prior written consent of the Purchaser or the Majority Noteholder, as applicable; provided, further, however, that the Servicer shall not, without the prior written consent of the Trustee or the Backup Servicer, as applicable, effect the settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in which the Trustee or the Backup Servicer are defendants and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by the Trustee or the Backup Servicer, as applicable. If the Servicer does not elect to assume control or otherwise participate in the defense of any third-party claim after receipt of notice thereof from the party seeking indemnification, the Servicer, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the party seeking indemnification, shall be bound by the results obtained by such party with respect to such claim.

54


        Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 8.2 or any other provision of this Agreement, nothing herein shall be construed as to require the Servicer to provide any indemnification hereunder or under any other Basic Document for any costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising out of, or incurred in connection with, credit losses with respect to the Receivables or the Financed Equipment.

        Section 8.3.     Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of the Servicer or Backup Servicer.

          (a) The Servicer shall not merge or consolidate with any other Person, convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets as an entirety to another Person, or permit any other Person to become the successor to the Servicer’s business unless, after the merger, consolidation, conveyance, transfer, lease or succession, the successor or surviving entity shall be capable of fulfilling the duties of the Servicer contained in this Agreement. Any corporation or other entity (i) into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, (ii) resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Servicer shall be a party, (iii) which acquires by conveyance, transfer, or lease substantially all of the assets of the Servicer, or (iv) succeeding to the business of the Servicer, in any of the foregoing cases shall execute an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Servicer under this Agreement and, whether or not such assumption agreement is executed, shall be the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement, anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to release the Servicer from any obligation. The Servicer shall provide notice of any merger, consolidation or succession pursuant to this Section to the Trustee, the Noteholder and each Rating Agency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not merge or consolidate with any other Person or permit any other Person to become a successor to the Servicer’s business, unless (x) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 8.1 shall have been breached (for purposes hereof, such representations and warranties shall be deemed made as of the date of the consummation of such transaction) and no event that, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (y) the Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustee, the Rating Agencies and the Noteholder an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that such consolidation, merger or succession and such agreement of assumption comply with this Section and that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement relating to such transaction have been complied with, and (z) the Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustee, the Rating Agencies and the Noteholder an Opinion of Counsel, stating in the opinion of such counsel, either (A) all financing statements and continuation statements and amendments thereto have been executed and filed that are necessary to preserve and protect the interest of the Purchaser and the Trustee, respectively, in the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property and reciting the details of the filings or (B) no such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interest.

          (b) Any Person (i) into which the Backup Servicer (in its capacity as Backup Servicer or successor Servicer) may be merged or consolidated, (ii) resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Backup Servicer shall be a party, (iii) which acquires by conveyance, transfer or lease substantially all of the assets of the Backup Servicer, or (iv) succeeding to the business of the Backup Servicer, in any of the foregoing cases shall execute an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Backup Servicer under this Agreement and, whether or not such assumption agreement is executed, shall be the successor to the Backup Servicer under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement, anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to release the Backup Servicer from any obligation.

55


        Section 8.4.     Appointment of Subservicers. The Servicer shall be permitted to enter into agreements with collection agencies, attorneys and other professionals, experts, consultants and service providers (collectively the “Subservicers”) to assist the Servicer in the collection, repossession, refurbishing or liquidation of the Receivables or the Financed Equipment and the performance of any of its duties hereunder. The Servicer shall use due care in the selection of Subservicers and shall include a requirement in each agreement with a Subservicer that in the event such agreement is terminated, the Subservicer will deliver promptly to the Servicer all information in its possession related to the Receivables. No agreement with a Subservicer may require payment of a termination fee to the Subservicer in the event such agreement is terminated. No Subservicer shall, by virtue of any agreement with the Servicer, become the Servicer hereunder and the Servicer shall remain primarily responsible and primarily liable for the performance of all duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement as if it alone were servicing the Receivables. The fees and expenses of each Subservicer shall be as agreed between the Servicer and such Subservicer and neither the Noteholder, the Purchaser nor the Seller shall have any responsibility therefor.

        Section 8.5.     Servicer and Backup Servicer Not to Resign. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.3, neither the Servicer nor the Backup Servicer shall resign from the obligations and duties imposed on it by this Agreement as Servicer or Backup Servicer except (i) upon a determination that by reason of a change in legal requirements the performance of its duties under this Agreement would cause it to be in violation of such legal requirements in a manner which would have a material adverse effect on the Servicer or the Backup Servicer, as the case may be, and the Noteholder does not elect to waive the obligations of the Servicer or the Backup Servicer, as the case may be, to perform the duties which render it legally unable to act or to delegate those duties to another Person or, (ii) in the case of the Backup Servicer, upon the prior written consent of the Noteholder. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer or Backup Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered and acceptable to the Trustee and the Noteholder. No resignation of the Servicer shall become effective until the Backup Servicer or an entity acceptable to the Noteholder shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer. No resignation of the Backup Servicer shall become effective until an entity acceptable to the Noteholder shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Backup Servicer; provided, however, that in the event a successor Backup Servicer is not appointed within 60 days after the Backup Servicer has given notice of its resignation and has provided the Opinion of Counsel required by this Section 8.5, the Backup Servicer may petition a court for its removal.

56


        Section 8.6.     Reporting Requirements. The Originator shall notify the Noteholder promptly of its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission of (i) the consolidated balance sheet of the Servicer and its Subsidiaries as at the end of such fiscal year and (ii) the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Servicer and its Subsidiaries as at the end of each fiscal quarter and the related unaudited statements of earnings, stockholders equity and cash flows for the portion of the fiscal year through such fiscal quarter (and as to the statements of earnings for such fiscal quarter).

        Section 9.2.     Consequences of a Servicer Termination Event. If a Servicer Termination Event shall occur and be continuing, the Noteholder by notice given in writing to the Servicer (with copies to the Trustee and the Backup Servicer) may terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement. The outgoing Servicer shall be entitled to its pro rata share of the Servicing Fee for the number of days in the Accrual Period prior to the effective date of its termination. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice or upon termination of the term of the Servicer, all authority, power, obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Note or the Receivables and Other Conveyed Property or otherwise, automatically shall pass to, be vested in and become obligations and responsibilities of the Backup Servicer (or such other successor Servicer appointed by the Noteholder under Section 9.3); provided, however, that the Backup Servicer or the successor Servicer shall have no liability with respect to any obligation which was required to be performed by the terminated Servicer prior to the date that the Backup Servicer or the successor Servicer becomes the Servicer or any claim of a third party based on any alleged action or inaction of the terminated Servicer; provided, further, however that the Majority Noteholder shall provide the Backup Servicer with at least 5 days’ prior written notice of its appointment as successor servicer, which notice shall specify the date on which the Backup Servicer shall assume the obligations of the Servicer hereunder (the “Assumption Date”); provided, further, however, that the Majority Noteholder acknowledges that following the Assumption Date, a transition period which shall not exceed thirty (30) days, shall occur during which the Backup Servicer shall complete the transfer of all Receivables and servicing files and to implement the systems and procedures required to service the Receivables in accordance with servicing procedures and standards set forth herein and provided further that during the 30 day transition period referenced in this Section 9.2, the Backup Servicer’s liability for the performance of its duties hereunder shall be limited to those duties which the Backup Servicer has affirmatively undertaken during the transition period, notwithstanding the forgoing, at the end of the transition period, the Backup Servicer shall be responsible for the performance of all of the duties of the Servicer as described herein irrespective of the completeness of the transition of the servicing function at that time. The Backup Servicer or successor Servicer is authorized and empowered by this Agreement to execute and deliver, on behalf of the terminated Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property and related documents to show the Purchaser as lienholder or secured party with respect to the Receivables, or otherwise. The terminated Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Backup Servicer or successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the terminated Servicer under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Backup Servicer or successor Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the terminated Servicer for deposit, or have been deposited by the terminated Servicer, in the Collection Account or thereafter received with respect to the Receivables and the delivery to the successor Servicer of all Receivable Files that shall at the time be held by the terminated Servicer and a computer tape in readable form as of the most recent Business Day containing all information necessary to enable the Backup Servicer or successor Servicer to service the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property.

If requested by the Noteholder, the successor Servicer shall terminate the Lockbox Agreement and direct the Obligors to make all payments under the Receivables directly to the successor Servicer (in which event the successor Servicer shall process such payments in accordance with Section 4.2(e)), or to a lockbox established by the Backup Servicer or the successor Servicer at the direction and expense of the Noteholder. The terminated Servicer shall grant the Trustee, the Backup Servicer or the successor Servicer and the Noteholder reasonable access to the terminated Servicer’s premises at the terminated Servicer’s expense during normal business hours as reasonably required to effectuate the efficient and complete transfer of the servicing function. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Trustee be liable for any transition expenses, servicing fee or for any differential in the amount of the servicing fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any successor servicer to act as successor Servicer. In no event shall the successor servicer be liable for the acts or omissions of the predecessor Servicer.

        Section 9.3.     Appointment of Successor.

          (a) On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 9.2, upon non-extension of the servicing term as referred to in Section 4.15, or upon the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.5, the predecessor Servicer shall continue to perform its functions as Servicer under this Agreement, in the case of termination, until the date specified in such termination notice or, if no such date is specified in a notice of termination, until receipt of such notice and, in the case of expiration and non-renewal of the term of the Servicer upon the expiration of such term, and, in the case of resignation, until the earlier of (x) the date 45 days from the delivery to the Trustee of written notice of such resignation in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (y) the date upon which the predecessor Servicer shall become unable to act as Servicer, as specified in the notice of resignation and accompanying Opinion of Counsel; provided, however, that with respect to clause (x) above, the Servicer shall not be relieved of its duties, obligations and liabilities as Servicer until the Backup Servicer or a successor Servicer has assumed such duties, obligations and liabilities and the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied.

          (b) Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the Backup Servicer or any other successor Servicer shall not have assumed the duties, obligations and liabilities of Servicer within 45 days of the termination, non-extension or resignation described in this Section 9.3, the Servicer may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor servicer as the successor to the Servicer. Pending appointment as successor Servicer, Backup Servicer (or such other Person as shall have been appointed by the Noteholder) shall act as successor Servicer unless it is legally unable to do so, in which event the outgoing Servicer (unless it is legally unable to do so) shall continue to act as Servicer until a successor has been appointed and accepted such appointment. In the event of termination of the Servicer, the Backup Servicer shall assume the obligations of Servicer hereunder on the Assumption Date and in the event that the Noteholder shall have determined that a Person other than the Backup Servicer shall be the successor Servicer in accordance with Section 9.2 or on the date of the execution of a written assumption agreement by such Person to serve as successor Servicer. Notwithstanding the Backup Servicer’s assumption of, and its agreement to perform and observe, certain of the duties, responsibilities and obligations of the Originator as Servicer, or any successor Servicer, under this Agreement arising on and after the Assumption Date, the Backup Servicer shall not be deemed to have assumed or to become liable for, or otherwise have any liability for any duties, responsibilities, obligations or liabilities of (i) the Servicer arising on or before the Assumption Date, whether provided for by the terms of this Agreement, arising by operation of law or otherwise, including, without limitation, any liability for any duties, responsibilities, obligations or liabilities of the Servicer arising on or before the Assumption Date under Section 4.7 or Section 8.2 of this Agreement, whether provided by the terms of this Agreement, arising by operation of law or otherwise, or (ii) under Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(e). Notwithstanding the above, if the Backup Servicer shall be legally unable or unwilling to act as Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the Trustee or the Noteholder may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any successor servicer as the successor to the Servicer. Pending appointment pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Backup Servicer shall act as successor Servicer unless it is legally unable to do so, in which event the outgoing Servicer (unless it is legally unable to do so) shall continue to act as Servicer until a successor has been appointed and accepted such appointment. Subject to Section 8.5, no provision of this Agreement shall be construed as relieving the Backup Servicer of its obligation to succeed as successor Servicer upon the termination of the Servicer pursuant to Section 9.2 or the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.5. In no event shall the Trustee be required to act as successor Servicer or perform any duties of the successor Servicer hereunder.

60


          (c) Any successor Servicer shall be entitled to such compensation (whether payable out of the Collection Account or otherwise) as the Servicer would have been entitled to under this Agreement if the Servicer had not resigned or been terminated hereunder, provided however, that the Backup Servicer shall be entitled to the fees and expenses described in the Backup Servicer Fee Letter.

        Section 9.4.     Notification to the Noteholder. Upon any termination of, or appointment of a successor to, the Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Noteholder and to the Rating Agencies.

        Section 9.5.     Waiver of Past Defaults. The Noteholder may waive in writing any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and the consequences thereof. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Termination Event arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereto. The Servicer shall give prompt written notice of such waiver to the Rating Agencies, the Backup Servicer, the Trustee and the Rating Agency Condition must have been satisfied prior to such waiver becoming effective.

61


        Section 9.6.     Action Upon Certain Failures of the Servicer. In the event that the Trustee shall have knowledge of any failure of the Servicer specified in Section 9.1 which would give rise to a right of termination under such Section upon the Servicer’s failure to remedy the same after notice, the Trustee shall give notice thereof to the Servicer and the Noteholder. For all purposes of this Agreement (including, without limitation, this Section 9.6), the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any failure of the Servicer as specified in Section 9.1(c) through Section 9.1(h) unless notified thereof in writing by the Servicer or the Noteholder. The Trustee shall be under no duty or obligation to investigate or inquire as to any potential failure of the Servicer specified in Section 9.1.
