MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

THIS MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT, dated as of August 20, 2007 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof, this “Agreement”) is entered into by and between EXTERRAN ABS 2007 LLC, a limited liability company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware, whose principal office is at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (together with its successors and permitted assigns, the “Issuer”), EXTERRAN ABS LEASING 2007 LLC, a limited liability company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware, whose principal office is at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (together with its successors and permitted assigns, the “ABS Lessor”) and EXTERRAN, INC., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Texas whose principal office is at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (together with its successors and permitted assigns, “EI”), as the initial Manager hereunder (in such capacity, together with any Replacement Manager appointed hereunder, including, upon the occurrence of the Management Replacement Date under and as defined in the Back-up Management Agreement, the Back-up Manager, the “Manager”).

RECITALS

     WHEREAS, the ABS Lessor, a subsidiary of the Issuer, leases certain of the Owner Compressors to the Issuer;

     WHEREAS, the Issuer is lessee from the ABS Lessor of certain of the Owner Compressors and the owner of any remaining Owner Compressors;

     WHEREAS, the Manager is in the business of providing contract compression services relating to the use of Compressors to various Users thereof;

     WHEREAS, the Issuer, the ABS Lessor and the Manager desire to enter into this Agreement pursuant to which the Manager will operate, maintain, manage and provide contract compression services for the Owner Compressors to Users on behalf of the Issuer, and the ABS Lessor;

     WHEREAS, the ABS Lessor acknowledges that its revenues are expected to be derived solely from lease rentals received from the Issuer and the Issuer’s operating revenues, in turn, are expected to be derived solely from contract compression services for Owner Compressors provided to Users; and

     WHEREAS, the ABS Lessor acknowledges that if there were no services (as described below) provided by the Manager, the ability of the ABS Lessor to obtain revenue would be materially impaired;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. DEFINITIONS

     Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Appendix A to the Indenture, dated as of August 20, 2007 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, the ABS Lessor and ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, National Association, as indenture trustee (together with its successors and assigns, the “Indenture Trustee”), as such Appendix A may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, and the rules of usage set forth in such Appendix A shall apply to this Agreement.

2. APPOINTMENT OF THE MANAGER

     2.1 Appointment. Upon the terms and conditions hereinafter provided, each of the Issuer and the ABS Lessor hereby appoint EI as the initial Manager of the Owner Compressors. The Manager shall be responsible for providing contract compression services, maintaining, operating and managing the Owner Compressors on behalf of the Issuer. The ABS Lessor consents to and joins in with the contract engaging the Manager for the purpose of assuring that the Owner Compressors are under management as provided herein. . EI, as initial Manager, and each other Replacement Manager as may from time to time become Manager hereunder, hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to so maintain, operate and manage the Owner Compressors, and provide contract compression services therefor, in accordance with this Agreement.

     2.2 Standard of Performance. In performing its obligations hereunder (including Manager’s obligations (x) to identify Collections that are allocable to the Securitization Collateral and (y) to perform its obligations under the Intercreditor Agreement), the Manager shall use such efforts which are in accordance with the Services Standard. The duties of the Manager will be limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Related Documents and the Manager will not have any fiduciary or other implied duties or obligations to the Issuer or any of its assignees.

     2.3 Conflicts of Interest. Except as otherwise permitted, the Manager shall perform its duties and obligations under this Agreement on a fair and equitable basis. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the Manager will not discriminate between the Owner Compressors and the Other Exterran Compressors (or, in the case of any Manager other than EI or an Exterran Affiliate, Compressors or any other equipment of a type similar to the Owner Compressors that is owned, managed or for which contract compression services are provided by such Manager for its own account) on any basis which could reasonably be considered discriminatory or adverse; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Manager’s management of the Compressors owned or leased by EXLP Operating LLC (“EXLPOP”) and its Subsidiaries that are subject to service contracts with Persons that are not Users of Owner Compressors shall be excluded from the application of this covenant for all purposes until April 30, 2009.

     2.4 Similar Services. It is expressly understood and agreed that nothing herein shall be construed to prevent, prohibit or restrict the Manager or any Affiliate of the Manager from providing the same or similar services as those provided under this Agreement to any other

Person or from manufacturing, selling, owning, providing contract compression services, managing, maintaining, operating or otherwise dealing with Compressors on its or others’ behalf; provided that no such activity shall in any way reduce the obligations of the Manager hereunder to comply with the Services Standard.

     2.5 Use of Affiliates, Assignment of Rights and Obligations. (a) Each of the Issuer and ABS Lessor hereby consents to and agrees that, in performing its duties hereunder, the Manager may further contract with, or delegate to, its Affiliates to provide any or all services to be provided by the Manager pursuant to this Agreement; provided that the Manager shall remain liable for all services to be provided and which any of its Affiliates have been contracted to perform; and provided, further, that the Manager shall be solely responsible for the payment of all fees and expenses (which shall be negotiated and determined at an arm’s-length basis) owing to all such Affiliates.

          (b) Each of the Issuer and ABS Lessor hereby agrees that EI may assign all of its rights, duties and obligations as Manager under this Agreement and the other Related Documents to which the Manager is a party to an Exterran Affiliate upon satisfaction of all of the following conditions:

     (i) Such Exterran Affiliate shall, simultaneously with such assignment, assume the responsibilities for all, or substantially all, of the Domestic Contract Compressor Business of Exterran;

     (ii) Such Exterran Affiliate shall (A) be an entity organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the District of Columbia; (B) expressly assume, by supplemental agreement (in form and substance satisfactory to the Requisite Global Majority) executed by such Exterran Affiliate, all of the rights, obligations and duties of EI under this Agreement and the other Related Documents to which EI is a party; and (C) deliver such documents, agreements, and amendments and Opinions of Counsel, as the Requisite Global Majority may reasonably require in connection with such assumption; and

     (iii) The Manager Guarantor confirms in a written agreement acceptable to the Requisite Global Majority that the Manager Guaranty remains in full force and effect with respect to the obligations of the Exterran Affiliate under this Agreement.

Upon satisfaction of all of the foregoing conditions, EI shall be released from its obligations as Manager under this Agreement other than obligations arising on or prior to the date of such transfer.

     2.6 Relationship between the Issuer, the ABS Lessor and the Manager. All of the functions, duties and services performed by the Manager under this Agreement shall be performed by the Manager as an independent contractor and not as an agent of the Issuer or the ABS Lessor except to the limited extent set forth in the following sentences. The Manager does not have the authority to act as an agent of the Issuer or the ABS Lessor and the Manager, in its capacity as such, does not, except as to the execution of User Contracts with respect to the

Owner Compressors, have the authority to bind the Issuer or the ABS Lessor or their assets. The Manager is authorized to act as the agent of the Issuer (and, to the extent relevant to the particular situation, of the ABS Lessor) with respect to administering, collecting, reporting and remitting sales, use and other taxes due from Users. Neither the Issuer nor the ABS Lessor shall have any liability for the acts of the Manager. The foregoing provision regarding liability shall not affect the ability of a state or other taxing authority to hold the Issuer (or, to the extent relevant to the particular situation, the ABS Lessor) liable for sales, use or similar taxes that the Manager fails to collect from the Users, including related penalties and interest. Any fee or other compensation payable by the Issuer to the Manager is an ordinary and necessary business expense of the Issuer. No fee is anticipated to be paid by the ABS Lessor to the Manager, it being understood that the compensation received by the Manager from the Issuer is the full compensation to which the Manager is to be entitled for all services to be rendered to both the Manager and ABS Lessor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

     2.7 Back-up Manager. If the Back-up Manager or any other Person shall become the Replacement Manager, then the Requisite Global Majority shall have the right to appoint another Eligible Back-up Manager as Back-up Manager.

3. MANAGEMENT TERM

     3.1 Duration of Management Term. The Management Term shall commence as of the Closing Date and shall continue in force with respect to an Owner Compressor until the earliest to occur of: (i) the occurrence of a Compressor Termination Event with respect to such Owner Compressor, (ii) the date on which the Indenture is discharged in accordance with its terms and all Outstanding Obligations (including all amounts owing to any Series Enhancer pursuant to any Enhancement Agreement) have been paid in full, and (iii) with respect to any Manager, the removal and replacement of the Manager in accordance with the provisions of Section 12 hereof. Except as set forth in this Section 3 or Section 12 hereof, the rights and obligations of the Manager hereunder may not be terminated by, or on behalf of, the Issuer for any reason.

     3.2 Resignation by the Manager. Neither EI nor any successor Manager may resign from its obligations and duties as the Manager hereunder, except upon (a) an assignment pursuant to Section 2.5(b), or (b) a determination that the performance by EI or such successor Manager, as the case may be, of its duties under this Agreement is no longer permissible under Applicable Law, which determination shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Requisite Global Majority, to such effect addressed and delivered to the Indenture Trustee (on behalf of the Noteholders, each Series Enhancer and the other Persons specified in the Indenture), the Issuer and each Series Enhancer. No such resignation under clause (b) of the preceding sentence will become effective until a Replacement Manager has assumed the obligations and duties of the Manager under this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof.

     3.3 Termination with Respect to an Owner Compressor. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 3 to the contrary (but subject to the provisions of Section 12), the Management Term shall terminate with respect to any Owner Compressor which is subject to a Casualty Loss, sold, foreclosed upon, lost, stolen, damaged beyond repair, requisitioned (other than a temporary requisition for a period of not more than 180 days) by any Governmental

Authority, worn out, unsuitable for use or economically obsolete (any of the foregoing, a “Compressor Termination Event”) as of the date of such Compressor Termination Event after the deposit into the Trust Account of all Casualty Proceeds or other amounts received with respect to the Casualty Loss, sale, foreclosure, other loss, theft, damage, requisition, obsolescence or unsuitability of such Owner Compressor. The Issuer and the Manager shall notify the other party and the Indenture Trustee promptly after it obtains knowledge of any Compressor Termination Event.

4. OWNERSHIP OF OWNER COMPRESSORS

     4.1 Retention of Title. The Issuer or the ABS Lessor, as the case may be, shall at all times retain full legal and equitable title to the Owner Compressors, notwithstanding the management thereof by the Manager hereunder. The Manager shall not make reference to or otherwise deal with or treat the Owner Compressors in any manner except in conformity with this Section 4.1.

     4.2 Liens. The Manager will promptly pay or discharge any and all sums claimed by any party which, if unpaid, might become a Lien, charge, security interest or other encumbrance upon or with respect to any Owner Compressor, including any accession thereto, or any part thereof or the interest of the Issuer therein other than Permitted Encumbrances (each a “Lien Claim”) and will promptly discharge any Lien Claim which arises; provided, however, that the Manager shall be under no obligation to pay or discharge any Lien Claim so long as it is contesting the validity thereof in good faith, in a reasonable manner and by appropriate legal proceedings, and the nonpayment thereof does not, in the commercially reasonable opinion of the Manager, adversely affect the title, property or rights of any Entitled Party thereto. Without limiting the generality of this Section 4.2, the Manager shall be required to pay or discharge any Lien Claim (1) that results from an act or omission by the Manager with respect to which the Manager would not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 16 hereof (“Manager Malfeasance”) or (2) if prior to such payment or discharge, the Manager receives from the Issuer the amount thereof (the “Owner Lien Claim Amount”). If any Lien Claim shall have resulted from Manager Malfeasance and shall have been paid by the Issuer, whether directly or by payment of the Owner Lien Claim Amount to the Manager, then, in either case, the Manager shall promptly reimburse the Issuer, upon presentation of an invoice therefor.

5. DUTIES/RIGHTS OF THE MANAGER

     5.1 Duties of the Manager. Subject to the terms and provisions hereof, the Manager shall provide the services specified in this Section 5 to, and on behalf of, the Issuer and the ABS Lessor during the Management Term with respect to the Owner Compressors. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, if an Owner Compressor is then subject to a User Contract, the User under such User Contract may provide certain of the obligations set forth in Sections 5.6, 5.7, 5.8 and 5.9 hereof.

     5.2 Marketing.

          (a) During the Management Term, the Manager shall market, service, maintain, operate and provide contract compression services for the Owner Compressors consistent with the Services Standard. In addition, for so long as EI or an Exterran Affiliate is

5

the Manager, EI or such Exterran Affiliate as Manager shall keep the Owner Compressors under User Contracts subject to approximately the same (and not materially lower) utilization rates and contract rates and in the same manner as the Other Exterran Compressors. In addition, the Manager shall, consistent with the Services Standard, negotiate the terms and conditions of all User Contracts; provided that the terms and conditions of such User Contracts must be consistent with those of User Contracts for the Other Exterran Compressors viewed as a single group (or, if the Manager is not EI or an Exterran Affiliate, any Compressors or equipment of a type similar to the Owner Compressors, for which contract compression services are provided, operated or managed by such Manager for its own account and third parties other than the Issuer and the ABS Lessor) and, in any event, must comply with (i) then generally accepted industry standards, (ii) for so long as the Manager is EI or an Exterran Affiliate, the terms of the Contribution Agreement and (iii) the requirements of the Related Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Manager’s management of the Compressors owned or leased by EXLPOP, and its Subsidiaries shall be excluded from the application of this covenant for all purposes until April 30, 2009.

          (b) In performing its marketing duties pursuant to this Section 5.2, the Manager shall use its best efforts to comply with the applicable concentration limits set forth in Appendix A to the Indenture in the definitions of Excess 499 H/P Amount, Excess 999 H/P Amount and Excess Customer Concentration Amount.

     5.3 Contract and Administration Obligations. The Manager shall, consistent with the Services Standard, cause to be performed when due, on behalf of the Issuer (and, if applicable, the ABS Lessor), all of the Issuer’s (or, where applicable, the ABS Lessor’s) performance obligations under the User Contracts and the other Related Documents to which the Issuer is a party; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be construed as creating credit recourse to the Manager for (i) the principal balance of, and accrued interest or Commitment Fees on, the Notes or other amounts owing by either the Issuer or ABS Lessor under the Related Documents or (ii) indemnification payments otherwise the obligation of the Issuer or the ABS Lessor pursuant to the Related Documents (except to the extent that the Manager would otherwise be liable for such indemnification payment pursuant to the provisions of Section 16 hereof).

     5.4 Billing and Other Information. During the Management Term, the Manager shall ▇▇▇▇, on behalf of the Issuer (and, if applicable, the ABS Lessor), for all contract payments and other sums due to the Issuer with respect to those Owner Compressors then subject to a User Contract and shall also be responsible for the collection thereof. Such bills may be prepared in summary format for all Compressors for which contract compression services are provided to a User, but shall contain a detailed listing of each Compressor so contracted.

     5.5 Defaults by Users; Contract Amendments and Waiver.

          (a) In the event of any breach or default by a User under a User Contract, the Manager shall, consistent with the Services Standard, take appropriate remedial action, in the name of the Issuer (which action the ABS Lessor hereby agrees shall also bind the ABS Lessor), with respect to such defaulted User Contract including, without limitation, (i) the termination of such User Contract as to any or all Owner Compressors subject thereto, (ii) the recovery of possession of any or all Owner Compressors subject thereto and (iii) the enforcement of any

6

other rights or remedies of the Issuer under such User Contract, including, without limitation, the right to payment for any contract compression services or payment of other amounts owed by such User under such User Contract. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Manager shall, consistent with the Services Standard, (i) institute and prosecute such legal proceedings in the name of the Issuer or the ABS Lessor as is permitted by Applicable Law in order to accomplish the foregoing, (ii) settle, compromise and/or terminate such proceedings or (iii) reinstate such User Contract; provided that the Manager shall not be required to take any such action if, in the exercise of its reasonable commercial judgment, the Manager would not take such action if such Owner Compressors were Other Exterran Compressors (or, if the Manager is not EI or an Exterran Affiliate, Compressors or equipment of a type similar to the Compressors that is owned, managed, maintained, operated or for which contract compression services are provided by such Manager for its own account and third parties other than the Issuer and the ABS Lessor). All amounts expended by the Manager in performing its obligations pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.5, after reduction of such amounts for enforcement costs actually received by the Manager pursuant to the terms of the related User Contracts, shall be a Reimbursable Service. The Issuer reserves the right to take, upon written notice to the Manager, in its sole discretion, any or all of the actions described in this Section 5.5 directly in its own name and on its own behalf. In such an event the Manager, at the Issuer’s expense, shall cooperate with the Issuer (or its designee or assignee) and provide the Issuer (or its designee or assignee) with such assistance as the Issuer may reasonably request.

          (b) In performing its obligations hereunder, the Manager may, acting in the name of the Issuer or the ABS Lessor and without the necessity of obtaining the prior consent of the Issuer, the ABS Lessor or any Entitled Party, grant consents or enter into and grant modifications, waivers and amendments to the terms of any User Contract except for consents, modifications, waivers or amendments that (x) are inconsistent with the Services Standard or (y) contravene (or permit the contravention of) any provision of the Indenture (including without limitation, Sections 636 through 649 thereof).

     5.6 Maintenance; Manager’s Expenses.

          (a) The Manager shall, consistent with the Services Standard, cause the Owner Compressors to be maintained in good operating order and condition. The standard for such maintenance shall be the highest of the following: (i) any standard required or set forth for the Owner Compressors by Applicable Law, (ii) the Services Standard, and (iii) with respect to the Owner Compressors provided to any User, any standard set forth in the related User Contract. All amounts expended by the Manager for maintenance (other than an overhaul made in compliance with Section 5.6(b) hereof) of the Owner Compressors, after reduction of such amounts for maintenance payments actually received by the Manager pursuant to the terms of any related User Contract, shall be at the expense of the Manager.

          (b) The Manager shall conduct, or cause to be conducted, overhauls of the Owner Compressors at such intervals and in such detail as it conducts overhauls of the Other Exterran Compressors (or, if the Manager is not EI or an Exterran Affiliate, Compressors or equipment of a type similar to the Compressors that are owned, maintained, operated, managed or for which contract compression services are provided by such Manager for its own account and third parties other than the Issuer and the ABS Lessor).

          (c) Maintenance, modifying, repackaging and/or overhauls of the Owner Compressors may be performed by the Manager or third parties as reasonably determined by the Manager. For maintenance, modifying, repackaging and/or overhauls of the Owner Compressors, the Issuer will pay for (i) materials, supplies and parts at the Manager’s actual out-of-pocket cost therefor and (ii) labor at hourly rates established by the Manager from time to time; provided that such costs and rates are reasonable and consistent with industry expenses for such services (the sum of (i) and (ii), the “Overhaul Fee”). Such hourly rates shall be based upon the Manager’s direct costs of labor plus amounts for the Manager’s plant or facility overhead based on the Manager’s job cost system for allocating overhead.

     5.7 Insurance.

          (a) The Manager will cause to be carried and maintained, at its sole expense (unless insured in a manner consistent with this paragraph by Users), with respect to all Owner Compressors at all times during the Management Term thereof and for the geographic area in which any Owner Compressor is at any time located (i) physical damage insurance insuring against risks of physical loss or damage to the Owner Compressors (“Property Insurance”) with an aggregate annual loss limit of not less than $20,000,000 per occurrence except for certain perils which have sub-limits in the amounts set forth on Schedule 5.7(a) attached hereof, and (ii) liability insurance against liability for bodily injury, death and property damage resulting from the use and operation of the Owner Compressors (“Liability Insurance”) with an aggregate loss limit of not less than $20,000,000 per occurrence except for certain perils which have sub-limits in the amounts set forth on Schedule 5.7(a) hereof and in each case shall be on terms consistent with current practices; provided, however, that if by reason of a force majeure event or other event outside of the control of the Manager, one or more of the terms of such insurance as required hereby are not available in the commercial insurance markets on commercially reasonable terms, the Manager shall nevertheless be deemed to have complied with this Section 5.7 if the Manager obtains such insurance on commercially reasonable terms then available to the Manager with such premiums, deductibles and policy limits that are consistent with industry standards which are reasonably satisfactory to each Series Enhancer. Property Insurance and Liability Insurance shall be subject to deductibles that are consistent with industry standards. The policies of insurance required under this Section 5.7(a) shall be valid and enforceable policies issued by insurers having an A.M. Best Company general policyholder rating of “A-” and a financial rating of “IX” or in each case better or otherwise acceptable to each Series Enhancer and shall provide coverage with respect to incidents occurring anywhere in the United States.

          (b) Such Property Insurance policy or policies will name the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, individually and on behalf of the Entitled Parties, as the loss payees, as their respective interest may appear, with the ABS Lessor for purposes of this sentence agreeing that any insurable interest it has in the Owner Compressors is subject to administration and management by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee. Such Liability Insurance policy or policies will name the Issuer, the ABS Lessor and the Indenture Trustee, individually and on behalf of the Entitled Parties, as additional insureds (each an “Additional Insured”).

     10.2 MANAGER. THE MANAGER WARRANTS THAT IT WILL CARRY OUT ITS SERVICES WITH REASONABLE CARE AND SKILL. THIS EXPRESS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL THE MANAGER HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE ISSUER FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

11. COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT OF THE MANAGER

     11.1 Compensation of the Manager. As compensation to the Manager for the performance of its services hereunder, the Issuer shall pay to the Manager an S&A Fee, an Operations Fee, an Overhaul Fee, an Incentive Management Fee and a charge for Reimbursable Services.

     11.2 S&A Fee.

          (a) The selling and administrative fee payable to EI as initial Manager for each Collection Period (or any portion thereof) shall be the product of (i) the S&A Fee Rate and (ii) the Gross Compressor Contract Revenues actually billed during such Collection Period (such product, the “Exterran S&A Fee”). The S&A Fee for any Manager other than EI or any Exterran Affiliate shall be the amount calculated in accordance with the definition thereof, subject to the adjustments and limitations contained therein and herein.

          (b) The S&A Fee Rate following the initial Issuance Date shall be seven percent (7%), which percentage shall be adjusted annually thereafter in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.2(c) (the “S&A Fee Rate”).

          (c) So long as no Trigger Event shall have occurred and then be continuing, the S&A Fee Rate may be recomputed by the Manager or any Replacement Manager and automatically adjusted each year on the last day of the quarter following the Manager’s fiscal year end, to reflect the actual selling and administrative costs incurred by the Manager in managing the Exterran Compressors during the most recently completed fiscal year. Any such adjustment shall be accompanied by a certification by the Manager that any increase in the S&A Fee Rate reflects increases in selling and administrative costs which are also being incurred in respect of the Other Exterran Compressors. The reasonableness of the amount of such cost increase will, at the request of any Entitled Party, be verified by a third party consultant selected by the Requisite Global Majority and reasonably satisfactory to the Manager. Increases in the S&A Fee in excess of the levels permitted in the definition of S&A Fee shall be payable at a subordinated level in accordance with Sections 302(d) and (e) of the Indenture. In addition to the adjustment set forth above, the S&A Fee Rate may be adjusted with the prior consent of the Manager, the Issuer, and the Requisite Global Majority to reflect material non-recurring costs incurred in any fiscal year.

          (d) The S&A Fee, as adjusted from time to time under Section 11.2(c), is intended to include all direct selling and administrative costs and expenses relating to the performance of the Manager’s services, duties and obligations under this Agreement but shall not include (x) the costs and expenses of the Manager that are incurred in connection with the Reimbursable Services or (y) the costs and expenses of the Manager in connection with its indemnification obligations owing to any MA Indemnified Party.

          (a) The operations fee (the “Exterran Operations Fee”) for each calendar month shall be an amount equal to the product of (i) the Operations Fee Rate then in effect and (ii) the Gross Compressor Contract Revenues actually billed during such Collection Period. The Operations Fee for a successor Manager is set forth in the definition thereof, subject to the adjustments and limitations contained therein and herein.

          (b) So long as EI or one of its Affiliates is the Manager, the Operations Fee Rate shall automatically adjust on the forty-fifth (45^th) day after the end of each calendar quarter in order to reflect the “Gross Margin Percentage for Domestic Contract Compression”, as set forth in the most recent consolidated financial statements of Exterran delivered pursuant to Section 9.1(a) hereof. Increases in the Operations Fee in excess of the levels permitted in the definition of Operations Fee shall be payable at a subordinated level in accordance with Sections 302(d) and (e) of the Indenture. In addition to the adjustment set forth above, the Operations Fee Rate may be adjusted with the prior consent of the Manager, the Issuer, and the Requisite Global Majority to reflect material non-recurring costs incurred in any year.

          (c) The Operations Fee, as adjusted from time to time, is intended to include all direct operating costs and expenses relating to the performance of the Manager’s services, duties and obligations under this Agreement but shall not include (x) the costs and expenses of the Manager that are incurred in connection with the Reimbursable Services or (y) the costs and expenses of the Manager in connection with its reimbursement, payment or indemnification obligations owing to any MA Indemnified Party.

     11.4 Incentive Management Fee. In addition to the Operations Fee and the S&A Fee, the Manager (whether the Manager is EI, any Exterran Affiliate or a Replacement Manager) shall be entitled to receive on each Payment Date an additional fee in an amount equal to the Incentive Management Fee.

     11.5 Reimbursable Services. To the extent not included in another fee category, the Manager shall be separately compensated for the following services rendered on behalf of the Issuer under this Agreement (collectively, the “Reimbursable Services”) in accordance with the priorities established therefor in Sections 302(d) and (e) of the Indenture: (i) enforcement costs in accordance with Section 5.5 hereof (ii) the cost of any Mandatory Alterations made after the Closing Date in accordance with Section 5.9 hereof and (iii) if the Manager is not EI or an Exterran Affiliate, Impositions actually paid by such Manager in accordance with Section 5.8. In addition to such Reimbursable Services, the Manager shall be entitled to be reimbursed for Manager Advances in accordance with the provisions of Section 8 hereof.

CREDIT AND COLLECTION POLICIES

SECTION 9.1(E)

Credit & Collections Overview:

Collections:

In an effort to reduce DSO and mitigate bad debt exposure by insuring timely collections, customer accounts are assigned to Collections Analyst, (“CA”). The CA has an on-line A/R system that provides real time information regarding a customer’s account. Since the CA’s are assigned a number of customer accounts, time management and prioritization are critical to managing their portfolio.

The CA’s have the capability of creating aging reports on their assigned customer base to aide in the collections process. Department policy requires that the CA’s generate a summary aging report for their customer base in descending order every Monday morning. This aging provides the aging of accounts starting with the customer that maintains the largest balance due to the smallest balance due. The CA’s focus on collections of the largest outstanding balances first, whether current or past due and work down to the smaller balances due.

The A/R system also allows Sales Rep’s and Operations Management to run aging reports on their customers or by GBU. Sales and Operations staff are encouraged to run these reports monthly and to provide assistance on any of their past due customers. It’s requested that Sales and Operations communicate with the appropriate CA, Credit Manager, or the Director of Credit before proceeding with any collections calls.

The A/R system provides a notes section which allows the Credit personnel to insert collection comments on the collections status of their accounts. The collections notes are viewable by all employees in the Credit and Collections Department as well as the Sales and Operations Departments. This also provides the Credit Manager and Director of Credit with collection updates on all the accounts.

The Credit Manager meets with the CA’s every other week to review the agings and determine if any collections assistance is required. Intervention by the Credit Manager occurs on any account that is deemed to be a collection problem or if the account is 60 days past due. The Credit Manager and the CA’s meet with the Director of Credit once a month to review agings and any accounts deemed to require the Directors assistance. The Director will immediately address any accounts he deems requires his immediate intervention regardless of the aging of the receivable balance.

The Credit Manager and the Director of Credit have the final say on any suspension of open account purchasing privileges or services. However, that decision will not be rendered without the proper notification to Sales and Operation Management.

NOTE: Accounts receivable management and collections are component parts of the revenue recognition process. The Director of Credit (DOC), ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, oversees Accounts Receivable and Collections Activities. These activities fall under the Treasury Department, and the DOC reports to the Vice-President and Treasurer, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.

AR046 Segregation of duties and access for key functions are setup for Order Entry and Account Receivables including cash applications, reconciliation of accounts and preparation of invoices.

Accounts Receivable

Transactions

There are several transactions that occur in the AR process such as:

	•		Processing New Credit Applications
	•		Updating New Customer Accounts
	•		Letters of Credit for International Customers
	•		International Customer AR
	•		Cash Applications

New credit applications are processed by the Credit Support Analyst and submitted to the collections Credit Manager (CM). Based on the credit information gathered, if the CM decides to approve the customer’s application, the CM will fill out the credit approval form and send it to the DOC for final approval if required. The Collections CM is authorized to approve credit up to $25,000. Any amount over that must be approved by the DOC.

Once the application is approved, the application is forwarded to the CSA to be set up in Oracle AR module. Any changes made in Oracle are made only by the CSAs with proper review and support.

Setting up new customer accounts and Collections/ Setting up and update new customer accounts

Description:
In order to become a customer of Hanover, the requesting customer fills out the credit application, signs it and sends it back to Hanover. The CSA at Hanover receives the credit application and or trade information from the customer. The trade information includes information about the company such as credit references and bank information. If only the trade information is received by the customer without credit application, the CSA sends an e-mail to sales associates or to the customer requesting the credit application. If the application is not signed, it is returned to the customer for signature. The CSA maintains the status of the customer application from the time it is sent until it is approved on the Hanover Intranet. This report is called Credit Application Status Report. It is kept so that all the sales personnel and other Hanover employees can have the most updated information about the customer credit approval status. It is updated daily.

After the application or trade information is received from the customer, CSA calls the references listed in the credit sheet. The CSA has to contact at least three references to verify the credit history of the customer. In addition to the three references , the CSA pulls a Dun and Bradstreet (D&B) report on the customer. In some cases the CSA may be asked to pull financial information on the company from the companies website. If enough information is still not available CSA, CM, or DOC will contact the customer and inform them that Hanover requires more credit references.

After calling the credit references, the CSA will then submit the information to the Collection CM for review. Using this information, the CM will make a decision to determine whether the company is credit worthy and what the credit limit amount should be based on facts collected. The Collection CM also uses the customer’s financial information to make this determination. In some instances when financial information is not available online or a D&B report is not available because the applicant is a small company, the CM will call the customer to acquire financial information. (AR012) Collection Manager determines the credit limit of the customer based on facts collected from the credit sheet and or trade information provided by the customer. The Credit Manager and International Senior Credit Analyst are authorized to approve up to $25,000. Credit over $25,000 must be approved by the Director of Credit. Transactions reflecting an open terms amount of $2MM or greater require the approval of the Vice President/Treasurer.

(AR044) For most international customers, letters of credit or acceptable progress payment terms are required. Most international customers have a $1 credit limit, which automatically puts every order on hold. Some international customers are extended a credit facility based on the credit worthiness of the customer and the destination of the goods sold. The Sr Credit Analyst reviews each order to ensure that exposure is minimized and releases the hold accordingly. AR010 Based on the information collected, if the CM decides to

approve the customer application, the CM will fill out the credit approval form and send it to the DOC for final approval if required. The Collections CM is authorized to approve credit up to $25,000. Any amount over that, up to $2MM exposure must be approved by the DOC. In the absence of the DOC the CM will approve accounts for credit with open terms in excess of the $25,000 up to $500,000 provided the review of financial statements warrant that decision. If the financial statements don’t warrant the approval of the credit and time is of the essence the CM will email or fax the pertinent information to the DOC for his review and approval. The DOC will formally approve the credit file upon his return. Once the customer account is approved by both the CM and the DOC, the application is forwarded to the CSA to be set up in Oracle AR module, except in the absence of the DOC who will approve the credit file upon his return.

When the Collection CM sets up the credit limit for customer, the limit is established based on the results of the customers credit evaluation and on the estimated monthly high balance anticipated for the transaction, (annual rental volume for rental unit sales) or the risk-assessed amount granted, whichever is lower. When the credit limit of customer is approved, it is entered into Oracle. (AR015) If the transaction exceeds the customer limit, the hold is placed by the system which can only be removed by the Collections Manager, Int’l Sr. Credit Analyst, and/or Director of Credit. If the customer is new and the credit information has not been entered, an automatic hold is placed on the customer which can be removed by any personnel in the collection dept but is usually done by the credit support analyst. (AR016) Access to release the hold on credit status is restricted to the Director of Credit, Collections Manager, and or the Sr. Int’l Credit Analyst Responsibility within the credit department. CSA and other credit collectors don’t have an access to do so.

If based on the information gathered, the CM decides not to approve the customer’s credit application; the customer can still do business with Hanover using alternative methods of payment such as cash in advance, progress payments, or credit cards. If the CM decides not to approve the customer, the salesperson will be informed about the decision via a phone call or e-mail. The salesperson can then coordinate with the customer to see if they are willing to pay using a proposed alternative payment method. . Customers also have the option to talk to the CM regarding their credit application directly. The DOC has the final authority to approve the customer. Customer accounts cannot be opened without the DOC’s approval if the credit limit needed is over $25,000, except as stated above in the absence of the DOM.

Once the customer is approved, the CSA e-mails information to the sales representative indicating that the customer has been approved and asks for other information about the customer such as the Ship to Address. However if sales representatives are not involved, then the customer is contacted directly by the CSA for more information. The CSA then sets up the customer account in the system (Oracle). Effective 10/11/05, for proofing purposes the CSA will printout a copy of the account setup and place in the credit file for review and approval by the DOC, or CM, or the Sr.

Credit Analyst. The approving person will initial the printout confirming that the account has been established as approved.

Before entering a new customer into the system the CSA will look into the e-business area of the Oracle system to see if the customer information is already there. In most cases when the sales representatives identify potential customers, they enter the customer information into the e-business area of the system. However; the sales representatives only have the ability to enter potential customers. No orders can be shipped to customer until the CSA assigns a customer number to the new customer, which will change the status of customer from potential to existing.

If the CSA finds the customer information already exists in the system, the CSA will assign a customer number, verify that the customer information is correct, enter the GBU or revenue operating code, and enter credit limit information in the system. If the CSA does not find the customer information in the e-business area of the system they will go to the standard screen and ensure that the customer is not an existing customer. (If a customer does not have any activity for a period of time Hanover may require a new credit check be processed before doing business with the customer). If the customer is still not found in the system the CSA will add the details about the customer. In some cases, a sales person or the customer may be in a hurry to place an order, however, the credit has not yet been approved. The CSA may enter the customer information in the system but not enter the credit limit information. The system would automatically put a hold on customer account. However, this allows sales personnel to input an order into the system which expedites the process for the customer. The order will not be shipped to the customer until the hold is removed by the CSA when they input the credit limit information into the system. All collectors have access to update or enter customer information, however, the CSA performs this function for the department. After entering or updating information on customer data, the CSA will always send an e-mail to the sales representative and update the Credit Application Status Report on the Intranet.

There is a formal procedure in place before any changes could be made to customer account. If the customer wants to change their shipping or receiving information, they inform Hanover in writing. The customer’s correspondence is then sent to the sales personnel. A salesperson is then assigned to verify by communication and through physical observation the updated customer information. After verification, a form with new customer information is sent to the CSA who keys the updated customer information into the system and keeps the original form in the customer file.

Transaction Name: Review of non-active accounts:

Effective 10/11/05, since no audit report exists that provides the last activity of any customer, the DOC, CM, and Sr. Credit Analyst will review the billing master quarterly and try to best identify those accounts that have had no activity for twelve months. Those customers that are identified as dormant will be placed on

credit hold with an update required notice placed in the customer credit notes and file.

Transaction Name:		Letters of Credit for International Customers and AR
Individuals responsible:		▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇
Title:		Sr CA

Responsibilities: Handling and managing International AR by setting up Letters of credit

Description:

Letters of Credit
Responsibilities:

     •    Processing requests for the issuance of Letters of Credits supporting Bid Bonds, Guarantees and Vendor Requirements.

Description:

In order to participate in the International Market companies must be prepared to issue Bid Bonds and Guarantees. The Bid Bonds are required to submit a bid and the Guarantees are contractually required if you’re the successful bidder. The Guarantees are issued to support progress payments remitted during the course of the construction phase. Guarantees are also issued to support the performance of the equipment once the equipment has been paid in full and has been shipped. The Credit Department reviews all requests for Bid Bonds and Guarantees. Initially, this process occurs up front when the contract is being reviewed as part of the bid process. The Credit Department reviews the terms and conditions for payment and guarantees. They provide any required revisions to the payment or guarantee terms on the contract before the bid is submitted. If we are the successful bidders the process of completing the contracts commences, as the approval and execution of the contract is pivotal to supporting the issuance of any required guarantees.

Issuance of Bid Bonds: The Sr. CA in the Credit Department receives a completed Standby Letter of Credit Request Form (attached), which identifies the requirements of the bid bond. He reviews the form and insures the authorizing individual has the authority level, as per the approval authority matrix to approve the dollar value of the request. If the request is in order he will proceed with the preparation of the request and submit it to the DOC for approval. The DOC will review and approve the request. Once approved the request will be forwarded to The DOC of Financial Services for final approval and issuance. After the Letter of Credit is issued the Treasury Analyst will log on the outstanding Letter of Credits log.

Issuance of Guarantees: The Sr. CA in the Credit Department receives a completed Standby Letter of Credit Request Form, which identifies the requirements of the guarantee. The Sr. CA will verify that the contract related to that specific guarantee has been fully executed and insure that the individual executing the contract has the level of

authority to approve the contract based on the approval authority matrix. If the contract has been properly authorized in accordance to the approval matrix the Standby Letter of Credit Request Form will be processed. The designated Project CM, Country Manger or the DOC must approve the Standby Letter of Credit Request Form. The Sr. CA reviews the required language and structures the language in accordance to the terms and conditions previously agreed at the time the bid was submitted or if the guarantee language was not negotiated when the bid was submitted, he will structure the guarantee utilizing Hanover’s standard guarantee language. The Sr. CA will present the Letter of Credit request to the DOC for review and approval. After the approval has been obtained the Letter of Credit request will be forwarded to the DOC of Financial Services for final approval and issuance. Once the Letter of Credit is issued the Treasury Analyst will log on the outstanding Letter of Credits log.

Vendor Letter of Credits: (See Treasury Narrative)
Reconciliation of issued Letter of Credits:

(AR111) The International Sr. Credit Analyst will be responsible for preparing a monthly reconciliation of the outstanding standby, (“SB”) and commercial, (CM”) letters of credit issued. The SCA will download the open SB and CM letters of credit information from the JPMorgan Ties system and compare that information to his Treasury LC master list, (“master”) for accuracy. He will review and compare the Ties report to insure that all additions, revisions, and cancellations reflected on the master reconcile to the Ties information. He will investigate, advise or rectify any variances. Upon completion of the reconciliation he will forward the reconciled master via email to the Treasury Manager who will compare it to Hanover’s open LC balances reflected on the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Trade Information Exchange system. If any variances exist the Treasury Manager will resolve. If no variances exist the Treasury Manger will provide his consent via reply email to the International Sr. Credit Analyst. Effective May 17, 2006 the Trade Information Exchange System has been replaced by the Trade Channel System.

A/R International Aging

Not all International A/R is processed or maintained through the Oracle System. Some International A/R aging reports are prepared manually and kept on an excel file by the International Accounting Group. International A/R is entered into Oracle or Macola by International Financial Reporting Group. Every month, as of May 2004, the Senior CA (SCA) reviews all the international AR Agings for delinquencies and potential exposure. SCA also investigates variances between the sub-ledger and the general ledger and ensures they are cleared. Prior to May 2004, these processes were performed every quarter. The reconciliation for each international destination is performed by the designated international accountant (In-Country or CCD).

Cash Applications

Transaction Name:		Application of Cash to Customer AR
Individuals responsible:		▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Title:		Cash Applications Specialist (CAS)

Responsibilities:

	•		Apply incoming cash (Checks, wires, etc.)
	•		Research unidentified payments
	•		Reconcile bank’s deposit support of cash received to deposit amount
	•		Tie closed batch to totals of all payments

Description:

(AR030) The Cash Application Analyst receives daily cash sheets from Treasury which list all the customer and non-customer receipts received by Hanover. The Cash Application Analyst enters this information in the appropriate accounts into Oracle. The appropriate G/L entry is recorded when the Cash Applications Analyst posts the batch and A/R completes the upload.

Effective December 19, 2006 any checks received at the Hanover offices are now forwarded to the Credit Support Analyst and deposited daily through the ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Desk Top deposit process. The CSA will provide the CAS with a copy of all the checks deposited. Any checks not deposited will be returned to the DOC, or CM, or Sr. Credit Analyst for placing in the credit department safe which is located in the DOC’s office. The DOC’s office is locked everynight.

Deposit advices for lockbox receipts are received daily from the bank on-line access system and occasionally via Federal Express. The Treasury Cash Analyst (TCA) incoming wires and credit card receipts for customer payments The wire advices notate customer names and other payment application details. Credit cards application details are forwarded by the company branches that transact the charges. For any unidentified wires, Collectors help CAS identify the correct application of the funds. (AR027) The Cash Application Analyst receives daily a cash sheet from Treasury which lists all the lockbox deposits, wires, and check information. The Cash Applications Analyst applies cash from ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo lockboxes. The ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo lockboxes’ deposits are uploaded from a file. The upload automatically applies cash to Hanover’s AR. There are deposits which can’t be posted so the Cash Application Analyst will manually post these to the appropriate AR account. (1) The CAA’s review of the Lockbox Execution Report and (2) the review of the cash sheet to ensure completion of cash receipts by comparing the components of the cash sheet to the applicable support. This occurs after the CAA completes posting cash for a specific day. The Cash Application Analyst enters this information in the appropriate accounts into the system (Oracle). There are some deposits which can’t be posted through the Oracle system so the CAA will manually post these transactions to the appropriate G/L account. Daily as required, as of July 25, the Cash Application Analyst records the appropriate entry in the G/L. When the Bank Recons are performed (Accountant in Corporate Consolidations and Accounting group), any previously unidentified receipts

deposited are research, identified, and given to the CAS to post. This ensures that any items which might have been missed by the TCA, not communicated by the TCA to the CAS, or missed by the CAS are posted each month-end.

CAS also enters adjustments requested by the Collectors and approved by the DOC or the Collections CM. CAS prepares JE’s (mainly for non-trade AR cash receipts) to record other cash received. These receipts are initially posted to AR Clearing and subsequently coded and posted to the correct G/L accounts by clearing them from the AR Clearing account. AR050 Access to AR applications to enter manual transactions is restricted to the CAS.

CAS prepares and enters all JE’s for the Credit Department.. . (OR002619) DOC reviews all the Journal Entries performed by the Cash Application Analyst and initials the printout of the entries. DOC reviews all the manually entered transactions with supporting documentation.

     All cash reconciliations are performed by the Shared Services Accountant or the Corporate and Consolidations Accounting group for proper segregation of duties.

     The CSA generates cash refund requests (on a change request form) and they are approved by the Collection CM and the Collections DOC if the amount involved is more then $5,000 before it is processed. AR025 Oracle Collections is configured to assign approval limits to the Director of Credit and the Credit Manager Responsibility to write off balances.These refund requests are posted by the CAS, also to AR clearing, and to the customer accounts. When the payments are entered into Payables by that department, they are also posted to AR clearing.

Collection Process Flow

Transactions

There are several transactions that occur in the Collection process such as:

	•		Collect/Investigate Past Due Invoices
	•		Settle Unapplied Cash from Customers
	•		Refund Customers Due to Realignment Issues or Downtime
	•		Credit Authorizations

     AR036 Aging reports from Oracle are reviewed every week by collection personnel who work on their assigned customers and investigate in descending order of customer balance. The Collection Manager runs an aging which identifies over 90 big customer balances and Collections personnel pay close attention to these customers.

The Collections Analyst request a descending aging report every Monday that is reviewed and updated with prior weeks aging notes. The prior weeks descending aging report is discarded. The aging report obtain is reviewed for current large dollar amounts due and any balances over 60 days past due. Each item on the report is further investigated and attempts are made to resolve delinquent payments with customers.

     Furthermore, several times a month, the Collection Dept will issue refunds upon customer requests. This overpayment may be due to open credit memos, overpayments, and payments received in error. The analysts try to use the funds as a credit on future expenditures by the customer. However, in some cases it is necessary to send a check to the customer. All supporting documentation, account status and billing history reports, will be gathered and forwarded on to the Collections CM for approval.

Controlling the Financial Exposure

Description:
There are four main CAs who handle the Hanover Compression Limited Partnership customer accounts. Every Monday the analysts run their own assigned customer HCCA Aging – 7 Bucket Descending Amount report. The report is divided by analyst number and lists all the clients that each analyst is assigned. In general the clients are divided alphabetically with a few exceptions. The analysts review the report for large dollar amounts and balances over 60 days past due. The analysts will then log into the Oracle system and review the notes for the particular client. (Validation). The analysts will then call the customers to investigate the late payment. In some instances the customer will call into the credit department because the late payment is due to an incorrect invoice or no invoice being received. Several other issues for delinquent payment include downtime, change of address, rates incorrect, wrong location billed and reassignment issues. A reassignment is when one company purchases another company or lease and a leased compressor is on the property included in the transaction. The acquiring company must assume the lease payments however, unless the information was received after the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ were generated invoices may have been sent to the old company after the sale. Once the information is provided, all details are forwarded via email to all sales rep’s and sales assistant to review and verify so they can inform operations and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ of the changes.(Completion). From that point on, all departments will communicate to correct the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.

The analyst will try to determine what the issue is and then proceed to either collect or have the account placed on “hold status” until all ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ are corrected. If there is a problem account-payment arrangements can be made. There is no standard

arrangement policy. The analyst informs management of customer issues. Management will make the decision to determine if payment arrangements can be made, if the customer does not forward payment as promised then management will make the decision on how to proceed to collect the account. The analyst will make attempts to motivate the customer to pay however they are not authorized to make “deals”. The analysts keep the collections CM and the DOC informed of the situations and if they feel it is necessary to make a deal they will work it out with the customer. This is when the account is escalated to upper management to handle. Once the account is brought current the account will then be assigned back to the assigned collector.

If there is a billing problem, the billing department will be informed. The analysts will give the customers a little leniency regarding the payments however; they will set deadlines and repossess compressors if management has provided instructions to do so. (Authorization of leniency and Deadline Follow up). Sales representatives, sales assistant and various operation locations are copied via email of the collection CM’s final decision. After all discussions with customers the analysts will enter comments into the notes log to let everyone know what is going on with the customers.

On Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) customers (Anadarko, BP, Chevron Texaco and Marathon) CA will run a separate aging for the various EDI accounts for delinquent invoices. CA will review the account status report looking for outstanding items and credit invoices issued for balance due invoices. (Validation). Also the billing history screen in Oracle will be examined to determine the credit memo number issued. For most large customers the analyst has different directions to request or inquire about any of the EDI accounts. For all EDI customers, the analyst will contact the customer’s accounts payable department to resolve the problem. Most of the communication is done via e-mail, relaying invoice numbers, check numbers, payment dates and disputed issues.

In some cases an analyst will request, via e-mail to the collections CM, that an account be put on “hold status” pending the issue(s). This is done on an internal basis to allow time for corrections to be made. This allows the billing department, sales representative and sales assistant time to enter the correct information into Oracle and informs the analysts not to contact the customer until all issues are resolved in a timely manner.

Transaction Name:		Unapplied Cash
Individuals responsible:		CAS
Title:		CA/Collector

Responsibilities:

•

Generates the Unapplied Cash Report

(AR109) The Cash Applications Analyst investigates the Unapplied cash receipts daily. If an adjustment is required, the Cash Applications Analyst will properly

reapply the unapplied cash or if necessary prepare an adjustment form, attach the backup, and forward it to the DOC or Collections CM for approval.

     Unapplied funds are primarily due to reassignment issues, inability to produce an invoice, manual invoices, and international cash in advance jobs. The analyst collects on the large dollar amounts first by researching in Oracle and talking to the client. The CAS and Collectors attempt to find where the cash should be applied by reviewing for data entry error by the bank or by looking for any outstanding items or credit items that may be causing the problem. Once the CAS or Collector has determined what the problem is the CAS will appropriately reapply the cash. In most cases the reapplication of the cash will clear the unapplied cash but if an adjustment is required. The CAS will prepare the adjustment to include collector name as well as the customer account number, invoice number, dollar amount and the reason for the adjustment. The proper backup must accompany the adjustment. The adjustment form is then forwarded to the DOC or Collections CM for approval. AR026 Oracle requires the approvals of adjustments by the Collections CM, Sr. International Credit Analyst or the DOC. The Credit Manager and Sr. International Credit Analyst are authorized to approve adjustments up to $5,000. Adjustments over $5,000 must be approved by the Director of credit. (Authorization and Completeness)

Transaction Name:		Customer Refunds
Individuals responsible:		Various
Title:		CA/Collector

Responsibilities:

•

Creating Check Requests

Sometimes customers will request a refund check. This overpayment/credit memo may be due to reassignment issues, duplicate payments or downtime. The analysts will request the customer to take the credit or overpayment on their next check run if possible. Depending on the customer’s decision, should they want the refund check forwarded to them the customer will have to fax/email their request in writing along with their W-9 taxpayer certificate. The CAS will proceed with the refund request by researching the account to verify if there are no outstanding unpaid invoices. If all is in good standing the “Refund Request” is completed and forward to management for approval. Checks will be sent only after verifying that the customer has the credits on their account. (Verification). (e.g. A reassignment may have caused a company to pay an invoice that was no longer their responsibility and they no longer have any Hanover compressors, thus they would request a refund) The analysts will complete a standardized check request form designed by the Hanover collection department with all the detail info requested per the form. (Completeness). All supporting documentation, account status and billing history reports, will be attached. The request will be forwarded on to the DOC for approval. . If approved the DOC will sign the form and send it on to the AP department for processing. (Authorization). The CAS will make the adjusting enrty to clear the credit balance from A/R. A/P will then

mail the check to the customer. The Collector will make a copy of the transaction for their file.

Accounts Receivable/Collections/Credit Authorizations

Provided by ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Title: DOC
Responsibilities: Managing Credit and Collections Departments

Credit Authorizations
When attempting to approve new customers that have sales in excess of $50,000 the DOC and the Collections CM will attempt to look at financial statements for the company. (Credit Checks/Authorizations) They attempt to determine the liquid net worth of the company and then look at 15-20% of that value for credit limit approval limits. They can also look at company trends, NACM reports, Dun and Bradstreet reports, and trade references. For most rentals they look for credit for 90 days. For example, a $1,500 a month rental times 3 months equals $4,500. A credit limit of $5,000 would be what the DOC and Collections CM would attempt to obtain. When talking to trade references they will ask about twice the attempted credit limit or in the previous example $10,000.

For smaller firms they try to be a little more flexible. These companies rent smaller horsepower items that the bigger firms will not rent. They will be more creative with payment options such as requiring first and last month rent to be paid in advance. If the client is within trucking range it is relatively easy for Hanover to get the compressor back if the client does not pay their ▇▇▇▇. Hanover also looks at the qualitative factors like the reputation and payment history of the customer as well as the prior relationship of the customer with Hanover in making credit limit decisions.

The Collections CM approves credit limits up to $25,000 and the DOC provides secondary approval for all limits over that amount.

Accounts Receivable Month End
Hanover performs a hard close on the 30^th of each month. When the check and other deposits come in, they are recorded on a cash sheet by Treasury. That sheet is sent to the Cash Application Analyst the next day. Cash Application Analyst makes sure that the information is correct and enters the information in the Oracle. Cash Application Analyst only enters information in Oracle once the Analyst is certain that the information is accurate. Since it may occasionally take two days from the time when the deposit and checks are received until they are recorded in Oracle, all deposits and checks that are received on the last two days of month are accrued for in unapplied cash account in GL. Any unbilled or unapplied revenue at the month end is also accrued for in separate G/L account. Finally, any unbilled or unapplied revenue or unapplied cash related to International A/R is accrued for in separate G/L account. (Accruals-Timing-Cutoff/Completeness) Also, the Cash Applications Analyst performs journal entries to clear out the AR clearing account at the end of the

month and now daily as of July 25, 2005. The DOC signs off on these journal entries and they are filed at a central location. (Approval of manual JE’s) These accounts all roll into the total receivable balance monthly and quarterly.

Quarterly the DOC puts together a schedule of bad debts for all items to be written off. An adjustment is then performed for the bad debts write offs. A copy is provided to various individuals for review.

Collections

The DOC oversees the unapplied cash report by requiring all collectors to work a part of it each week and the CAS daily as of July 25, 2005. This is an attempt to clear as much as possible by month end.

     AR041 A Quarterly review and analysis of outstanding receivables is performed by the Director of Credit to ensure that collection issues are resolved in a timely manner and uncollectible accounts are reserved and written off as appropriate. The Director of Credit prepares a Bad Debt Reserve Analysis which is reviewed with Treasury Management on a quarterly basis. The Collections CM runs an over 90 day report over $50,000 that is reviewed by the DOC. The DOC reviews these reports with the collectors and reviews collectors’ notes on-line to determine which clients may have issues and the DOC helps resolve significant issues with past due accounts as required The Collections CM additionally helps in this regard. (Expedite collections) The DOC is the only one allowed to approve special terms and/or payment arrangements with a customer regarding invoice payment. E-mail correspondence or other documentation (hard copy and/or on-line) is kept documenting discussions with the client. Also, collection accounts placed with an attorney are documented.

If there is a credit is to be generated for a customer and it is the responsibility of operations then the operations department must complete a credit request form.

Accounts Receivable has a reserve account for any credit or bad debts. This reserve is created by taking 10% of the over 90 day items and 2.5 % of the remaining outstanding items. This reserve also includes amounts for specifically identified accounts which are accounts that have been determined to be at risk of default. The DOC looks at these problem accounts every quarter in order to update them. The DOC sends this updated version to the Treasurer for discussion and approval. The reserve analysis preparation and review procedure is documented quarterly.

     AR049 Oracle AR provides that adjustments to accounts receivable are accurately calculated and recorded. (This is a field control, and related testing is documented in locations’ matrices.)

(OR003089) Credit memos are approved based on company policy. (This is a field control, and related testing is documented in locations’ matrices.)

	•		On integral units (i.e. Ajax) the power-end is defined as the frame out to the power cylinders and heads. The compressor-end is defined as the C.E. crosshead pin and guide out.
	•		Capitalized overhauls are limited to one current asset per overhaul type. The net book value of any existing overhaul asset will be expensed to the responsible region.
	•		Minimum total cost to qualify for capitalization is based on HP:

						Overhaul				Top End
		Horsepower of Unit				Minimum Cost				Minimum Cost
			0-70			$	5,000				N/A
			71-699			$	7,500			$	3,000	*

	•		On cooler overhauls replacement bundles or tubes, structural repairs to the cooler, and fan/drive components should be included for capitalization. Where repairs to individual sections meet capital minimum cost amounts, a separate cap-add is allowed for each section so long as each asset can be identified.
