RECEIVABLES SALE AGREEMENT

This RECEIVABLES SALE AGREEMENT, dated as of March 15, 2006, is by and between GEHL COMPANY, a Wisconsin corporation (“Originator”), and GEHL RECEIVABLES II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Buyer”). Unless defined elsewhere herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Exhibit I.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

Originator now owns, and from time to time hereafter will own, Receivables. Originator wishes to sell and assign to Buyer, and Buyer wishes to purchase from Originator, all of Originator’s right, title and interest in and to all of Originator’s Qualified Receivables, together with the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto.

Originator and Buyer intend the transactions contemplated hereby to be true sales of the Qualified Receivables from Originator to Buyer, providing Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Qualified Receivables, and Originator and Buyer do not intend these transactions to be, or for any purpose to be characterized as, loans from Buyer to Originator.

Following the purchase of Qualified Receivables from Originator, Buyer will sell its right, title and interest in and to such Qualified Receivables, together with the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto, pursuant to that certain Receivables Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as the same may from time to time hereafter be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified, the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”) between Buyer and Gehl Funding II, LLC (“GFII”). Following the sale the Qualified Receivables by Buyer to GFII under the Purchase and Sale Agreement, GFII will sell undivided interests therein and in the associated Related Security and Collections pursuant to that certain Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as the same may from time to time hereafter be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified, the “Purchase Agreement”) among GFII, Gehl Company, as Servicer (in such capacity, the “Servicer”), Park Avenue Receivables Company, LLC (“Company”), the financial institutions from time to time party thereto (together with Company, the “Purchasers”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan Chase”) or any successor agent appointed pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, as agent for the Purchasers (in such capacity, the “Agent”).

ARTICLE I
AMOUNTS AND TERMS

SECTION 1.01. Purchase of Qualified Receivables.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Originator agrees to sell, assign, transfer, set-over, contribute and otherwise convey to Buyer, without recourse (except to the extent expressly provided herein), and Buyer agrees to purchase or acquire from Originator, all of Originator’s right, title and interest in and to all Qualified Receivables existing as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the Initial Funding Date and all Qualified Receivables thereafter arising until the Termination Date, together, in each case, with all Related Security relating thereto and all Collections thereon.

(b) Effective on the Initial Funding Date, in consideration for the Purchase Price and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, Originator does hereby sell, assign, transfer, set-over and otherwise convey to Buyer, without recourse (except to the extent expressly provided herein), and Buyer does hereby purchase from Originator, all of Originator’s right, title and interest in and to (i) the Receivables set forth on the Schedule of Receivables (other than the Existing Receivables, as to which Originator has no, and claims no, interest), which are all Qualified Receivables existing as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the Initial Funding Date and (ii) the Receivables that shall be, from time to time, until the Termination Date, be added to or listed on the Schedule of Receivables, which are intended to be all Qualified Receivables thereafter arising through until the Termination Date, together, in each case, with all Related Security relating thereto and all Collections thereon. In accordance with the preceding sentence, on the Initial Funding Date Buyer shall acquire all of Originator’s right, title and interest in and to all Qualified Receivables existing as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the Initial Funding Date and thereafter arising through and including the Termination Date, together with all Related Security relating thereto and all Collections thereon; provided, that, Buyer shall be obligated to pay the Purchase Price therefor in accordance with Section 1.02. In connection with the payment of the Purchase Price for any Qualified Receivables purchased hereunder, Buyer may request that Originator deliver, and Originator shall deliver, such approvals, opinions, information, reports or documents as Buyer may reasonably request.

(c) It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Purchases of Qualified Receivables made hereunder shall constitute sales of “accounts”, “payment intangibles” or “chattel paper” (as each such term is defined in Article 9 of the UCC), which sales are absolute and irrevocable and provide Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Qualified Receivables. Except for the Purchase Price Credits owed pursuant to Section 1.03, the sales of Qualified Receivables hereunder are made without recourse to Originator; provided, however, that (i) Originator shall be liable to Buyer for all representations, warranties and covenants made by Originator pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents to which Originator is a party, and (ii) such sales do not constitute and are not intended to result in an assumption by Buyer or any assignee thereof of any obligation of Originator or any other Person arising in connection with the Qualified Receivables, the related Contracts and/or other Related Security or any other obligations of Originator. In view of the intention of the parties hereto that the Purchase of Qualified Receivables made hereunder shall constitute sales of such Qualified Receivables rather than loans secured thereby, Originator agrees that it will, on or prior to the Initial Funding Date and in accordance with Section 4.01(e)(ii), mark its master data processing records, file cabinets and file folders relating to the Qualified Receivables with a legend acceptable to Buyer, GFII (as Buyer’s assignee) and to the Agent (as GFII’s assignee), evidencing that Buyer has purchased such Qualified Receivables as provided in this Agreement and to note in its financial statements that the Qualified Receivables have been sold to Buyer. Upon the request of Buyer, GFII (as Buyer’s assignee) or the Agent (as GFII’s assignee), Originator will file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate to perfect and maintain the perfection of Buyer’s ownership interest in the Qualified Receivables and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto, or as Buyer, or GFII (as Buyer’s assignee) or the Agent (as GFII’s assignee) may reasonably request.

SECTION 1.02. Payment for the Purchase.

(a) The Purchase Price for the Purchase of Qualified Receivables in existence on the close of business on the Business Day immediate preceding the Initial Funding Date shall be payable in full by Buyer to Originator on the Initial Funding Date, and shall be paid to Originator in the following manner:

(i) by delivery of immediately available funds, in an amount confirmed by the parties hereto on the Initial Funding Date; provided, that a portion of such funds shall be offset by amounts owed by Originator to Buyer or Originator shall contribute Qualified Receivables on account of the issuance of equity in the manner contemplated in the operating agreement of the Buyer and having a total value of not less than the Required Capital Amount, and

(ii) the balance, by delivery of the proceeds of a subordinated revolving loan from Originator to Buyer (a “Subordinated Loan”) in an amount not to exceed the least of (i) the remaining unpaid portion of such Purchase Price, (ii) the maximum Subordinated Loan that could be borrowed without rendering Buyer’s Net Worth less than the Required Capital Amount and (iii) the maximum Subordinated Loan that could be borrowed without rendering the Net Value less than the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Subordinated Loan hereunder (including the Subordinated Loan proposed to be made on such date). The Originator is hereby authorized by Buyer to endorse on the schedule attached to the Subordinated Note an appropriate notation evidencing the date and amount of each advance thereunder, as well as the date of each payment with respect thereto, provided that the failure to make such notation shall not affect any obligation of Buyer thereunder.

Each Qualified Receivable coming into existence after the Initial Funding Date shall be sold to Buyer on the first Settlement Date following the date that such Qualified Receivable came into existence (or in the case of any Eligible Receivable that is not transferred on such Settlement Date because the Servicer has advised Originator on or before such Settlement Date that such Eligible Receivable does not constitute a Qualified Receivable on such Settlement Date because the transfer thereof will not cause the Net Receivables Balance to be increased on such Settlement Date, the first Settlement Date upon which the Servicer advises the Originator that the transfer of such Eligible Receivable would cause the Net Receivables Balance to be increased) and the Purchase Price for such Qualified Receivable shall be due and owing in full by Buyer to Originator or its designee on the Settlement Date that such Qualified Receivable is transferred to the Buyer (except that Buyer may, with respect to any such Purchase Price, offset against such Purchase Price any amounts owed by Originator to Buyer hereunder and which have become due but remain unpaid) and shall be paid to Originator in the manner provided in the following paragraphs (b) and (c). The conveyance of such Qualified Receivables shall occur and take effect automatically upon the listing of each such item in the Schedule of Receivables, without further action by any Person.

(b) With respect to any Qualified Receivables coming into existence after the Initial Funding Date, of each Settlement Date, Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price in the following manner:

first, by delivery of immediately available funds, to the extent of funds available to Buyer from its subsequent sale of the Qualified Receivables to the GFII under the Purchase and Sale Agreement or other cash on hand;

second, by delivery of the proceeds of a Subordinated Loan, provided that the making of any such Subordinated Loan shall be subject to the provisions set forth in Section 1.02(a)(ii); and

third, unless Originator has declared the Termination Date to have occurred pursuant to Section 5.02(b), at the election of the Originator (which may be a standing election), by accepting a contribution to its capital pursuant to its operating agreement in an amount equal to the remaining unpaid balance of such Purchase Price.

Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.02(a)(ii), Originator irrevocably agrees to advance each Subordinated Loan requested by Buyer on or prior to the Termination Date. The Subordinated Loans shall be evidenced by, and shall be payable in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Subordinated Note.

(c) From and after the Termination Date, Originator shall not be obligated to (but may, at its option) (i) sell Qualified Receivables to Buyer unless Originator reasonably determines that the Purchase Price therefor will not be satisfied with funds available to Buyer from sales of the Qualified Receivables pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, Collections, proceeds of Subordinated Loans or otherwise or (ii) contribute Receivables to Buyer’s capital.

SECTION 1.03. Purchase Price Credit Adjustments. If on any day:

(a) the Outstanding Balance of a Qualified Receivable is:

(i) reduced as a result of any defective or rejected goods or services, any discount or any adjustment or otherwise by Originator or, in the case of any Qualified Receivable acquired from a Dealer, by the applicable Dealer (other than cash Collections on account of the Qualified Receivables), or

(ii) reduced or canceled as a result of a setoff in respect of any claim by any Person (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related transaction or an unrelated transaction), or

(b) any of the representations and warranties set forth in Article II are no longer true with respect to any Qualified Receivable,

then, in such event, Buyer shall be entitled to a credit (each, a “Purchase Price Credit”) against the aggregate Purchase Price otherwise payable hereunder for new Qualified Receivables in an amount equal to the amount of such reduction or cancellation in the case of clause (a) or the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable in the case of clause (b). If such Purchase Price Credit exceeds the Original Balance of the Qualified Receivables coming into existence on any day, then Originator shall pay the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit in cash within 5 Business Days thereafter, provided that if the Termination Date has not occurred, Originator shall be allowed to deduct the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit from any indebtedness owed to it under the Subordinated Note. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in connection with the representations and warranties relating to good title, absence of Adverse Claims or effectiveness of transfer of any Receivable transferred hereunder, Originator shall be deemed to have breached such representation and warranty so that a Purchase Price Credit shall be payable by Originator in the amount of the Outstanding Balance of any Qualified Receivable if (i) a Dealer shall have originated such Qualified Receivable, (ii) such Dealer shall have suffered an Insolvency Event at any time following the date such Qualified Receivable was transferred hereunder and (iii) an action is brought in the Dealer’s bankruptcy case seeking to claim an affected Qualified Receivable or proceeds thereof as property of the estate, exercise any avoiding power of the bankruptcy trustee, challenge good title to or ownership of such Qualified Receivable or proceeds, assert any Adverse Claim on such Qualified Receivable or proceeds or otherwise challenge the effectiveness or validity of such Dealer’s transfer of any Qualified Receivable and either (A) no Gehl Entity answers such action on a timely basis, (B) no Gehl Entity seeks the dismissal with prejudice of such action on a timely basis or submits a motion for summary judgment of such action on a timely basis or (C) such action survives a motion to dismiss or motion for summary judgment.

SECTION 1.04. Payments and Computations, Etc. All amounts to be paid or deposited by Buyer hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof on the day when due in immediately available funds to the account of Originator designated from time to time by Originator or as otherwise directed by Originator. If any payment owed by any Person hereunder becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. If any Person fails to pay any amount hereunder when due, interest shall accrue on such unpaid amount at the rate per annum specified in clause (ii) of the definition of “Default Fee” until such amount is paid in full and, such Person agrees to pay such interest on demand; provided, however, that such rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. All computations of interest payable hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed.

SECTION 1.05. Transfer of Records.

(a) In connection with the Purchases of Qualified Receivables hereunder, Originator hereby sells, transfers, assigns and otherwise conveys to Buyer all of Originator’s right and title to and interest in the Records relating to all Qualified Receivables sold hereunder, without the need for any further documentation in connection with the Purchases. In connection with such transfer, Originator hereby grants to each of Buyer, the GFII, the Agent and the Servicer an irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use, without royalty or payment of any kind, all software used by Originator to account for the Qualified Receivables, to the extent necessary to administer the Qualified Receivables, whether such software is owned by Originator or is owned by others and used by Originator under license agreements with respect thereto, provided that should the consent of any licensor of Originator to such grant of the license described herein be required, Originator hereby agrees that upon the request of Buyer (or GFII as Buyer’s assignee or the Agent as GFII’s assignee), Originator will use its reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of such third-party licensor. The license granted hereby shall be irrevocable, and shall terminate on the date this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms.

(b) Originator (i) shall take such action requested by Buyer, GFII (as Buyer’s Assignee) and/or the Agent (as GFII’s assignee), from time to time hereafter, that may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that (A) Buyer and Buyer’s assigns under the Purchase and Sale Agreement and (B) GFII and GFII’s assigns under the Purchase Agreement have an enforceable ownership interest in the Records relating to the Qualified Receivables purchased from Originator hereunder, and (ii) shall use its reasonable efforts to ensure that Buyer, GFII, the Agent and the Servicer each has an enforceable right (whether by license or sublicense or otherwise) to use all of the computer software used to account for the Qualified Receivables and/or to recreate such Records.

SECTION 1.06. Characterization.

(a) If, notwithstanding the intention of the parties expressed in Section 1.01(c), any sale or contribution by Originator to Buyer of Qualified Receivables hereunder shall be characterized as a secured loan and not a sale or such sale shall for any reason be ineffective or unenforceable (any of the foregoing being a “Recharacterization”), then this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the UCC and other applicable law. For this purpose and without being in derogation of the parties’ intention that the sale of Qualified Receivables hereunder shall constitute a true sale thereof, Originator hereby grants to Buyer a valid and perfected security interest in all of Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under all Qualified Receivables now existing and hereafter arising, all Collections, all Related Security and Records with respect thereto, all other rights and payments relating to the Qualified Receivables and all proceeds of the foregoing, and all other assets in which Buyer has acquired, may hereafter acquire and/or purports pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement to have acquired an interest under this Agreement to secure all payment and performance obligations of Originator hereunder (including (a) the obligation to remit all Collections with respect to the Qualified Receivables to the Buyer and (b) the obligation to transfer Receivables to the Buyer with a value at least equal to the Qualified Receivables, Collections thereon and the Related Security with respect thereto) which security interest shall be prior to all other Adverse Claims thereto. After the occurrence of a Termination Event, Buyer and its assigns shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which they may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor after default under the UCC and other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative. In the case of any Recharacterization, each of the Originator and the Buyer represents and warrants as to itself that each remittance of Collections and other property by the Originator to the Buyer hereunder will have been (i) in payment of a debt incurred by the Originator in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Originator and the Buyer and (ii) made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Originator and the Buyer.

(b) Originator hereby authorizes Buyer (and any of its assigns), within the meaning of Section 9-509 of any applicable enactment of the UCC, as secured party, to file, without the signature of the debtor, the UCC financing statements contemplated hereby.

(c) Originator acknowledges (i) that Buyer, pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, shall assign to the GFII all of its rights, remedies, powers and privileges hereunder, (ii) that the GFII, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, shall assign to the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent, the Purchasers and the Hedge Providers under the Purchase Agreement, such rights, remedies, powers and privileges and (iii) that the Agent may further assign such rights, remedies, powers and privileges to the extent permitted in the Purchase Agreement. Originator agrees that the GFII, as the assignee of Buyer, and the Agent, as the assignee of the GFII, shall, subject to the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement and the Purchase Agreement respectively, have the right to enforce this Agreement and to exercise directly all of Buyer’s rights and remedies under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the right to give or withhold any consents or approvals of Buyer to be given or withheld hereunder, and, in any case, without regard to whether specific reference is made to Buyer’s assigns in the provisions of this Agreement which set forth such rights and remedies) and Originator agrees to cooperate fully with the GFII, the Agent and the Purchasers in the exercise of such rights and remedies. Originator further agrees to give to the GFII and the Agent copies of all notices it is required to give to Buyer hereunder.

ARTICLE II

(b) Power and Authority; Due Authorization Execution and Delivery. The execution and delivery by Originator of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party, and the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder and, Originator’s use of the proceeds of the Purchase made hereunder, are within its corporate powers and authority, and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on its part. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which Originator is a party has been duly executed and delivered by Originator.

(c) No Conflict. The execution and delivery by Originator of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party, and the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder do not contravene or violate (i) its certificate or articles of incorporation or by laws (or equivalent organizational documents), (ii) any law, rule or regulation applicable to it, (iii) any restrictions under any agreement, contract or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound, or (iv) any order, writ, judgment, award, injunction or decree binding on or affecting it or its property, and do not result in the creation or imposition of any Adverse Claim on assets of Originator or its Subsidiaries (except as created hereunder) and no transaction contemplated hereby requires compliance with any bulk sales act or similar law.

(d) Governmental Authorization. Other than the filing of the financing statements required hereunder, no authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for the due execution and delivery by Originator of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party and the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder.

(e) Actions, Suits. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending by or before any governmental authority, or to the best of Originator’s knowledge, threatened, against or affecting Originator, or any of its properties, in or before any court, arbitrator or other body, that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Originator is not in default with respect to any order of any court, arbitrator or governmental authority.

(f) Binding Effect. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which Originator is a party constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Originator enforceable against Originator in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(g) Accuracy of Information. All information heretofore furnished by Originator or any of its Affiliates to Buyer (or its assigns) for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby is, and all such information hereafter furnished by Originator or any of its Affiliates to Buyer (or its assigns) will be, true and accurate in every material respect on the date such information is stated or certified and does not and will not contain any material misstatement of fact or omit to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading.

(h) Use of Proceeds. No proceeds of the Purchase hereunder will be used (i) for a purpose that violates, or would be inconsistent with, Regulation T, U or X promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System from time to time or (ii) to acquire any security in any transaction which is subject to Section 13 or 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

(i) Good Title. Immediately prior to the time each Qualified Receivable is sold hereunder, Originator shall be the legal and beneficial owner of each such Qualified Receivable and Related Security with respect thereto, free and clear of any Adverse Claim, except as created by the Transaction Documents. There have been duly filed all financing statements or other similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or any comparable law) of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect Originator’s ownership interest in each Qualified Receivable, its Collections and the Related Security.

(j) Perfection. This Agreement, together with the filing of the financing statements contemplated hereby, is effective to, and shall, upon each Purchase hereunder, transfer to Buyer (and Buyer shall acquire from Originator) legal and equitable title to, with the right to sell and encumber each Qualified Receivable existing and hereafter arising, together with the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto, free and clear of any Adverse Claim, except as created by the Transactions Documents. There have been duly filed all financing statements or other similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or any comparable law) of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect Buyer’s ownership interest in the Qualified Receivables, the Related Security and the Collections.

(k) Places of Business. The principal places of business and chief executive office of Originator and the offices where it keeps all of its Records are located at the address listed on Exhibit II or such other locations of which Buyer has been notified in accordance with Section 4.02(a) in jurisdictions where all action required by Section 4.02(a) has been taken and completed. Originator’s Federal Employer Identification Number is correctly set forth on Exhibit II.

(l) Collections. The requirements set forth in Section 4.01(j) have at all times been satisfied and duly performed. The name and address of the Lockbox Account Bank, together with the account number of the Lockbox Account at the Lockbox Account Bank and the post office box number of the Lockbox, are listed on Exhibit III. Originator has instructed all Obligors of Qualified Receivables to pay all Collections with respect thereto directly to the Lockbox, the Lockbox Account or the Collection Account. Originator has not granted any Person, other than the Collateral Agent (in the case of the Lockbox, the Lockbox Account) as contemplated by the Intercreditor Agreement, control (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the applicable UCC) of the Lockbox, the Lockbox Account or the Collection Account, or the right to take control (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the applicable UCC) of the Lockbox, the Lockbox Account or the Collection Account at a future time or upon the occurrence of a future event. The Intercreditor Agreement remains in full force and effect.

(m) Material Adverse Effect. Since December 31, 2004 or as disclosed in Securities and Exchange Commission filings made prior to the date hereof, no event has occurred that would have a material adverse effect on (i) the financial condition or operations of Originator or the Originator and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole or (ii) the ability of Originator to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents. Since February 2, 2006, no event has occurred that would have a material adverse effect on the collectibility of the Qualified Receivables generally or any material portion of the Qualified Receivables.

(n) Names. In the past five (5) years, Originator has not used any corporate names, trade names or assumed names other than “Gehl Finance” and the name in which it has executed this Agreement and has not been organized in any jurisdiction other than the State of Wisconsin.

(o) Ownership of Buyer. Originator owns, directly or indirectly, 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Buyer, free and clear of any Adverse Claim. Such capital stock is validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and there are no options, warrants or other rights to acquire securities of Buyer.

(p) Not an Investment Company. Originator is not an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or any successor statute.

(q) Compliance with Law. Originator has complied in all respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, orders, writs, judgments, injunctions, decrees or awards to which it may be subject, except where the failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Qualified Receivable transferred to Buyer hereunder, together with the Contract related thereto, does not contravene any laws, rules or regulations applicable thereto (including, without limitation, laws, rules and regulations relating to truth in lending, fair credit billing, fair credit reporting, equal credit opportunity, fair debt collection practices and privacy), and no part of such Contract is in violation of any such law, rule or regulation.

(r) Compliance with Credit and Collection Policy. Originator has complied in all material respects with the Credit and Collection Policy with regard to each Qualified Receivable and the related Contract, and has not made any material change to such Credit and Collection Policy.

(s) Payments to Originator. With respect to each Qualified Receivable transferred to Buyer hereunder, the Purchase Price received by Originator constitutes reasonably equivalent value in consideration therefor and such transfer was not made for or on account of an antecedent debt. No transfer by Originator of any Qualified Receivable hereunder is or may be voidable under any section of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 (11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq.), as amended.

(t) Enforceability of Contracts. Each Contract with respect to each Qualified Receivable transferred to Buyer hereunder is effective to create, and has created, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Obligor to pay the Outstanding Balance of the Qualified Receivable created thereunder and any accrued interest thereon, enforceable against the Obligor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(u) Qualified Receivables. Each Receivable transferred to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement was an “Qualified Receivable” on the date of such transfer.

(v) Accounting. The manner in which Originator accounts for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement does not jeopardize the legal true sale analysis.

(w) No Adverse Selection. To the extent that Originator has retained Receivables that would be Eligible Receivables, if transferred, but which have not been transferred to Buyer hereunder (whether by reason of overconcentrations or otherwise), Originator has not selected those Receivables to be transferred hereunder in any manner that materially adversely affects Buyer or its assigns.

(x) Compliance with Representations. On and as of the date of each Purchase hereunder, Originator hereby represents and warrants that all of the other representations and warranties set forth in this Article II are true and correct on and as of each such date (and after giving effect to all Qualified Receivables in existence on each such date) as though made on and as of each such date.

(y) Receivable File. Originator has delivered to the Servicer the Receivable File for each Qualified Receivable transferred pursuant hereto.

(z) No Breach. The execution and delivery by Originator of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party, and the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder do not contravene or violate the terms of the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, the terms of Section 8.7 thereof). The transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents constitute a “Qualified Securitization Transaction.”

All terms which are capitalized and used herein and which are not otherwise specifically defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Sale Agreement.

2. Interest. SPV further promises to pay interest on the outstanding unpaid principal amount hereof from the date hereof until payment in full hereof at a rate equal to the Prime Rate; provided, however, that if SPV shall default in the payment of any principal hereof, SPV promises to pay, on demand, interest at the rate of the Prime Rate plus 2.00% per annum on any such unpaid amounts, from the date such payment is due to the date of actual payment. Interest shall be payable on the first Business Day of each month in arrears; provided, however, that SPV may elect on the date any interest payment is due hereunder to defer such payment and upon such election the amount of interest due but unpaid on such date shall constitute principal under this Subordinated Note. The outstanding principal of any loan made under this Subordinated Note shall be due and payable on the Collection Date and may be repaid or prepaid at any time without premium or penalty.

Should any payment, distribution or security or proceeds thereof be received by Originator in violation of the immediately preceding sentence, Originator agrees that such payment shall be segregated, received and held in trust for the benefit of, and deemed to be the property of, and shall be immediately paid over and delivered to the Agent for the benefit of the Senior Claimants.
