the sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the Purchaser and
the subsequent assignment and transfer of such Receivables to the Trust
pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement and pursuant to the Indenture:
(i) Characteristics of Receivables. Each Receivable: (A)
was originated in the United States of America by a Dealer in
connection with the retail sale of Financed Equipment in the
ordinary course of such Dealer's business, was fully and properly
executed by the parties thereto, was purchased by the Originator
from a Dealer and was validly assigned by such Dealer to the
Originator in accordance with its terms, (B) has created a valid,
subsisting and enforceable first priority security interest in
favor of the Originator in the Financed Equipment, which is
assignable by the Originator to the Purchaser, by the Purchaser to
the Issuer and by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee, (C)
contains customary and enforceable provisions such that the rights
and remedies of the holder thereof are adequate for realization
against the collateral of the benefits of the security, and (D)
provides for fixed payments on a periodic basis that fully
amortize the Amount Financed by maturity and yield interest at the
Annual Percentage Rate.
(ii) Schedule of Receivables. The information set forth
on Schedule A to the First-Tier Assignment delivered on the
Closing Date is true and correct in all material respects as of
the opening of business on
8
the Initial Cutoff Date and the information set forth on Schedule
A to the related First-Tier Subsequent Transfer Assignment will be
true and correct on each Subsequent Transfer Date and no selection
procedures believed by the Originator to be adverse to the
interests of the Trust, the Noteholders or the Certificateholders
were or will be utilized in selecting the Receivables. The
computer tape regarding the Receivables made available to the
Purchaser and its assigns is true and correct in all respects.
(iii) Compliance with Law. Each Receivable and the sale
of the related Financed Equipment complied in all material
respects at the time it was originated or made and at the
execution of this Agreement and each First-Tier Subsequent
Transfer Assignment complies in all material respects with all
requirements of applicable Federal, State and local laws and
regulations thereunder, including usury law, the Federal Truth-in-
Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit
Reporting Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Federal
Trade Commission Act, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ Warranty Act, the Federal
Reserve Board's Regulations B and S, the Wisconsin Consumer Act
and State adaptations of the National Consumer Act and of the
Uniform Consumer Credit Code, and other consumer credit laws and
equal credit opportunity and disclosure laws.
(iv) Binding Obligation. Each Receivable represents the
genuine, legal, valid and binding payment obligation in writing of
the Obligor, enforceable by the holder thereof in accordance with
its terms.
(v) No Government Obligor. None of the Receivables is due
from the United States of America or any State or from any agency,
department or instrumentality of the United States of America or
any State.
(vi) Security Interest in Financed Equipment. Immediately
prior to the sale, assignment and transfer thereof, each
Receivable shall be secured by a validly perfected first priority
security interest in the Financed Equipment in favor of the
Originator as secured party or all necessary and appropriate
actions have been commenced that would result in the valid
perfection of a first priority security interest in the Financed
Equipment in favor of the Originator as secured party.
(vii) Receivables in Force. No Receivable has been
satisfied, subordinated or rescinded, nor has any Financed
Equipment been released from the Lien granted by the related
Receivable in whole or in part.
9
(viii) No Amendment or Waiver. No provision of a
Receivable has been waived, altered or modified in any respect,
except pursuant to a document, instrument or writing included in
the Receivable Files and no such amendment, waiver, alteration or
modification causes such Receivable not to conform to the other
warranties contained in this Section.
(ix) No Defenses. No right of rescission, setoff,
counterclaim or defense has been asserted or threatened or exists
with respect to any Receivable.
(x) No Liens. To the best of the Originator's knowledge,
no Liens or claims, including claims for work, labor or materials,
relating to any of the Financed Equipment have been filed that are
Liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the security interest
in the Financed Equipment granted by any Receivable.
(xi) No Default. No Receivable has a payment that is more
than 90 days overdue as of the Initial Cutoff Date or Subsequent
Cutoff Date, as applicable, and, except for a payment default
continuing for a period of not more than 90 days, no default,
breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms
of any Receivable has occurred and is continuing; and no
continuing condition that with notice or the lapse of time would
constitute such a default, breach, violation or event permitting
acceleration under the terms of any Receivable has arisen; and the
Originator has not waived and shall not waive any of the
foregoing.
(xii) Title. It is the intention of the Originator that
the transfers and assignments contemplated herein and in the
Liquidity Receivables Purchase Agreement constitute a sale of the
Receivables from the Originator to the Purchaser and that the
beneficial interest in and title to the Receivables not be part of
the debtor's estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy
petition by or against the Originator under any bankruptcy or
similar law. No Receivable has been sold, transferred, assigned or
pledged by the Originator to any Person other than the Purchaser.
Immediately prior to the transfers and assignments contemplated
herein and in the Liquidity Receivables Purchase Agreement, the
Originator had good title to each Receivable, free and clear of
all Liens and, immediately upon the transfer thereof, the
Purchaser shall have good title to each Receivable, free and clear
of all Liens; and the transfer and assignment of the Receivables
to the Purchaser has been perfected under the UCC.
(xiii) Lawful Assignment. No Receivable has been
originated in, or is subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction
under which the sale, transfer
10
and assignment of such Receivable or any Receivable under this
Agreement, the Liquidity Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Sale
and Servicing Agreement or the Indenture is unlawful, void or
voidable.
(xiv) All Filings Made. All filings (including UCC
filings) necessary in any jurisdiction to give the Purchaser a
first priority perfected ownership interest in the Receivables
have been made.
(xv) One Original. There is only one original executed
copy of each Receivable.
(xvi) Maturity of Receivables. Each Receivable has a
remaining term to maturity of not more than 72 months, in the case
of the Initial Receivables, and 72 months, in the case of the
Subsequent Receivables; the weighted average remaining term of the
Initial Receivables is approximately 50.19 months as of the
Initial Cutoff Date; the weighted average original term of the
Receivables, including as of each Subsequent Transfer Date all
Subsequent Receivables previously transferred to the Purchaser,
will not be greater than 55.0 months.
(xvii) Scheduled Payments and APR. No Receivable has a
final scheduled payment date later than six months preceding the
Final Scheduled Maturity Date; each Receivable provides for
payments that fully amortize the Amount Financed over the original
term of the Receivable and is a Precomputed Receivable; each
Receivable has an APR of at least 3.0%; and as of each Subsequent
Cutoff Date, the weighted average of the Initial Cutoff Date APR
and each Subsequent Cutoff Date APR (weighted on the basis of the
respective aggregate Contract Values of the Receivables for which
each such APR is used to calculate the Contract Value) will not be
less than the weighted average interest rate on the Outstanding
Notes plus 1.00% per annum.
(xviii) Location of Receivable Files. The Receivable
Files are kept at one or more of the locations listed in Schedule
A hereto.
(xix) Insurance. The Obligor on each Receivable is
required to maintain physical damage insurance covering the
Financed Equipment in accordance with the Originator's normal
requirements.
(xx) Concentrations. No Receivable has a Contract Value
(when combined with the Contract Value of any other Receivable
with the same or an Affiliated Obligor) that exceeds 1% of the
Initial Pool Balance.
11
(xxi) Financing. Approximately 54.18% of the aggregate
Contract Value of the Initial Receivables, constituting 47.58% of
the number of Initial Receivables as of the Initial Cutoff Date,
were secured by equipment that was new at the time the related
Initial Receivable was originated; the remainder of the Initial
Receivables represent financing of used equipment; approximately
66.41% of the aggregate Contract Value of the Initial Receivables,
constituting 66.44% of the number of Initial Receivables as of the
Initial Cutoff Date, represent the financing of agricultural
equipment; the remainder of the Initial Receivables represent the
financing of construction equipment. The aggregate Contract Value
of the Receivables for the purposes of the above calculations as
of the Initial Cutoff Date is $325,103,002.29 (and is calculated
using the individual APR applicable to each Initial Receivable).
Additionally, not more than 45% of the aggregate Contract Value of
the Receivables, including, as of each Subsequent Transfer Date,
all Subsequent Receivables previously transferred to the
Purchaser, will represent Contracts for the financing of
construction equipment.
(xxii) No Bankruptcies. No Obligor on any Receivable as
of the Initial Cutoff Date or the Subsequent Cutoff Date, as
applicable, was noted in the related Receivable File as being the
subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.
(xxiii) No Repossessions. None of the Financed Equipment
securing any Receivable is in repossession status.
(xxiv) Chattel Paper. Each Receivable constitutes
"chattel paper" as defined in the UCC of the State the law of
which governs the perfection of the interest granted in it.
(xxv) U.S. Obligors. None of the Receivables is
denominated and payable in any currency other than United States
Dollars or is due from any Person that does not have a mailing
address in the United States of America.
(xxvi) Payment Frequency. As of the Initial Cutoff Date
and as shown on the books of the Originator: (A) Initial
Receivables having an aggregate Contract Value equal to 58.11% of
the Initial Pool Balance had annual scheduled payments, (B)
Initial Receivables having an aggregate Contract Value equal to
4.49% of the Initial Pool Balance had semi-annual scheduled
payments, (C) Initial Receivables having an aggregate Contract
Value equal to 0.49% of the Initial Pool Balance had quarterly

12

payments.
(xxvii) First Payment. As of the Initial Cutoff Date,
Obligors had not yet made the first payment in respect of Initial
Receivables representing less than 22% of the Initial Pool
Balance.
(xxviii) Interest Accruing. Each Receivable, other than
those Receivables consisting of Contracts that contain interest
waivers for a specified period of time, is, as of the Closing Date
or Subsequent Transfer Date, as applicable, accruing interest; no
Receivable contains an interest waiver extending more than 12
months after the Initial Cutoff Date.
(xxix) Originator's Representations. The representations and
warranties of the Originator contained in Section 3.2(a) are true and
correct.
