any remedy that it may have hereunder, in law, in equity or otherwise, until a
year and a day have passed since the date on which all the Securities have been
paid in full. OFL and ORFC agree that damages will not be an adequate remedy
for such breach and that this covenant may be specifically enforced by ORFC or
by an Assignee under any Related Document.

Receivable indicate clearly that such Receivable has been sold to ORFC and
has been conveyed by ORFC to such Assignee. Indication of such Assignee's
ownership of a Receivable shall be deleted from or modified on OFL's computer
systems when, and only when the Receivable shall have been paid in full or
shall have been repurchased by ORFC or OFL.
15

clearly that such Receivable has been sold to ORFC and is owned by the
relevant Assignee pursuant to the applicable Securitization Document or
Warehousing Document.

hereunder and under any Assignment Agreement or the issuance and sale of any
Securities, including, without limitation, any sales, gross receipts,
personal property, tangible or intangible personal property, privilege or
license taxes (but not including any federal or other income taxes, including

transfer taxes arising in connection with the transfer of the Securities) and
costs and expenses in defending against the same, arising by reason of the

(f) OFL shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless ORFC, each
Assignee, each Backup Servicer, each Collateral Agent, each Trustee, each
Security Insurer and the Holders from and against any and all costs,
expenses, losses, claims, damages, and liabilities to the extent that such
cost, expense, loss, claim, damage, or liability arose out of, or was imposed
upon ORFC, any Assignee, any Backup Servicer and any Holders through the
negligence, willful misfeasance, or bad faith of OFL in the performance of
its duties under this Agreement or by reason of reckless disregard of OFL's
obligations and duties under this Agreement.
17

law.
(h) OFL shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless ORFC from and
against all costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages, and liabilities arising
out of or incurred in connection with the acceptance or performance of OFL's

of ORFC.

Assignee, each Security Insurer, each Backup Servicer and the Holders from

fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation and shall survive
maturity of the related Securities. The indemnity obligations hereunder
shall be in addition to any obligation that OFL may otherwise have.
ARTICLE V
REPURCHASES
SECTION 5.1. REPURCHASE OF RECEIVABLES UPON BREACH OF WARRANTY. Upon
the occurrence of a Repurchase Event with respect to a Receivable, OFL shall,
unless such breach shall have been cured in all material respects, repurchase
such Receivable from ORFC or the applicable Assignee, as applicable, and on or
before the related Deposit Date (with respect to a Purchased Receivable) or the
related Repurchase Date (with respect to Repurchased Receivables), OFL shall
deposit the Purchase Amount into the Collection Account as payment to ORFC or
such Assignee pursuant to the relevant Servicing Agreement or other Related
Document. It is understood and agreed that, except as set forth in Section 6.1,
the obligation of OFL to repurchase any Receivable as to which a breach has
occurred and is continuing shall, if such obligation is fulfilled, constitute
the sole remedy against OFL for such breach available to ORFC, any Security
Insurer, any Collateral Agent, any such Assignee or any Trustee on behalf of its
Holders. The provisions of this Section 5.1 are intended to grant to any such
Assignee a direct right
18
against OFL to demand performance hereunder, and in connection therewith OFL
waives any requirement of prior demand against ORFC with respect to such
repurchase obligation. Any such purchase shall take place in the manner
specified in the related Servicing Agreement or other Related Document.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any Related Document
to the contrary, the obligation of OFL under this Section shall not terminate
upon a termination of OFL as Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement
and shall be performed in accordance with the terms hereof notwithstanding
the failure of the Servicer or ORFC to perform any of their respective
obligations with respect to such Receivable under such Servicing Agreement.
In addition to the foregoing and whether or not the related Receivable
shall have been purchased by OFL, OFL shall indemnify each such Assignee, each
Backup Servicer, each Collateral Agent, each Security Insurer, each Trustee and
the Holders against all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and
liabilities, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, which may be
asserted against or incurred by any of them as a result of third party claims
arising out of the events or facts giving rise to such Repurchase Events.
SECTION 5.2. REASSIGNMENT OF PURCHASED RECEIVABLES. Upon deposit in
the Collection Account of the Purchase Amount of any Receivable repurchased by
OFL under Section 5.1, ORFC shall take such steps as may be reasonably requested
by OFL in order to assign to OFL all of ORFC's and the relevant Assignee's
right, title and interest in and to such Receivable and all security and
documents and all Other Conveyed Property conveyed to ORFC and such Assignee
directly relating thereto, without recourse, representation or warranty, except
as to the absence of liens, charges or encumbrances created by or arising as a
result of actions of ORFC or such Assignee. Such assignment shall be a sale and
assignment outright, and not for security. If, following the reassignment of a
Purchased Receivable, in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding, it is held
that OFL may not enforce any such Receivable on the ground that it shall not be
a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Receivable, ORFC
shall, at the expense of OFL, take such steps as OFL deems reasonably necessary
to enforce the Receivable, including bringing suit in ORFC's or any such
Assignee's name or any Collateral Agent's name or the name of a Trustee on
behalf of its Holders.
SECTION 5.3. WAIVERS. No failure or delay on the part of ORFC, or
any Assignee, in exercising any power, right or remedy under this Agreement
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise
of any such power, right or remedy preclude any other or future exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy.

ARTICLE VI
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 6.1. LIABILITY OF OFL. OFL shall be liable in accordance
herewith only to the extent of the obligations in this Agreement specifically
undertaken by OFL and the representations and warranties of OFL.
SECTION 6.2. MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF OFL OR ORFC. Any
corporation or other entity (i) into which OFL or ORFC may be merged or
consolidated, (ii) resulting from any merger or consolidation to which OFL or
ORFC is a party or (iii) succeeding to the business of OFL or ORFC, in the
case of ORFC, which corporation has a certificate of incorporation containing
provisions relating to limitations on business and other matters
substantively identical to those contained in ORFC's certificate of
incorporation or otherwise acceptable to the Security Insurers and the Rating
Agencies, provided that in any of the foregoing cases such corporation shall
execute an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of OFL or
ORFC, as the case may be, under this Agreement and such party's Related
Documents and, whether or not such assumption agreement or agreements are
executed, shall be the successor to OFL or ORFC, as the case may be,
hereunder (without relieving OFL or ORFC of its responsibilities hereunder,
if it survives such merger or consolidation) without the execution or filing
of any document or any further act by any of the parties to this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, ORFC shall not merge or consolidate with any
other Person or permit any other Person to become the successor to ORFC's
business without the prior written consent of each Security Insurer (so long
as no Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to
such Security Insurer). OFL or ORFC shall promptly inform the other party,
and, so long as an Insurer Default shall not have occurred and be continuing
with respect to such Security Insurer, each Security Insurer of such merger,
consolidation or purchase and assumption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as
a condition to the consummation of the transactions referred to in clauses
(i), (ii) and (iii) above, (x) immediately after giving effect to such
transaction, no representation or warranty made pursuant to Sections 3.1 and
3.2 shall have been breached (for purposes hereof, such representations and
warranties shall speak as of the date of the consummation of such
transaction) and no event that, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would
become an event of default under any Insurance Agreement, shall have occurred
and be continuing, (y) OFL or ORFC, as applicable, shall have delivered to
each Trustee an officer's certificate and an opinion of counsel each stating
that such consolidation, merger or succession and such agreement of
assumption comply with this Section 6.2 and that all conditions precedent, if
any, provided for in this Agreement relating to such transaction have been
complied with, and (z) OFL or ORFC, as applicable, shall have delivered to
each Trustee an opinion of counsel, stating, in the opinion of such counsel,
either (A) all financing statements and
20
continuation statements and amendments thereto have been executed and filed
that are necessary to preserve and protect the interest of each Assignee
under any Related Document in the Receivables and reciting the details of the
filings or (B) no such actions shall be necessary to preserve and protect
such interest.
SECTION 6.3. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF OFL AND OTHERS. OFL and
any director, officer, employee or agent may rely in good faith on the advice
of counsel or on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and
submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising under this Agreement.
OFL shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any
legal action that is not incidental to its obligations under this Agreement
or its Related Documents and that in its opinion may involve it in any
expense or liability.
SECTION 6.4. AMENDMENT.
(a) This Agreement may be amended by OFL and ORFC, without the consent
of any Assignee or any Holders, (i) to cure any ambiguity or (ii) to correct
any ambiguity with respect to any provision in this Agreement; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel
delivered to each Trustee and each Rating Agency, adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Assignee or any Holder.
(b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by OFL and
ORFC, with the prior written consent of each Security Insurer (so long as an
Insurer Default shall not have occurred and be continuing with respect to
such Security Insurer) or, if an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, with the consent of each Assignee and each Trustee (or other
representative of the Holders of all securities backed by the affected
Receivables), for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any
manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement, or of
modifying in any manner the rights of ORFC; PROVIDED, that if such amendment
will have a material adverse effect on any Holders of any Securities, the
consent of the Trustee or other representative for such Holders shall be
required for such amendment; PROVIDED FURTHER, HOWEVER, that no such
amendment shall increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate
or delay the timing of, collections of payments on Receivables or
distributions that shall be required to be made on any Security.
(c) Prior to the execution of any amendment or consent referred to in
subsection (b), OFL shall have furnished written notification of the
substance of such amendment or consent to each Rating Agency.
21
(d) It shall not be necessary for the consent of Holders pursuant to
this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or
consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the
substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing
the authorization of the execution thereof by Holders shall be subject to
such reasonable requirements as the related Trustee may prescribe,
including the establishment of record dates. The consent of any Holder
given pursuant to this Section or pursuant to any other provision of this
Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and on all future
Holders of such Security and of any Security issued upon the transfer
thereof or in exchange thereof or in lieu thereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon the Security.
SECTION 6.5. NOTICES. All demands, notices and communications to OFL
or ORFC hereunder shall be in writing, personally delivered, or sent by

otherwise herein, this Agreement, each Assignment Agreement and the Related
Documents sets forth the entire understanding of the parties relating to the
subject matter hereof, and all prior understandings, written or oral, are
superseded by this Agreement and the Related Documents. This Agreement may not
be modified, amended, waived or supplemented except as provided herein.
SECTION 6.7. SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. If any one or more of the
covenants, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any reason
whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, provisions or terms shall be
deemed severable from the remaining covenants, provisions or terms of this
Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other
provisions of this Agreement.
SECTION 6.8. INTENTION OF THE PARTIES. The execution and delivery of
this Agreement shall constitute an acknowledgement by OFL and ORFC that they
intend that the assignments and transfers herein contemplated pursuant to each
Assignment Agreement constitute a sale and assignment outright, and not for
security, of the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property, conveying good
title thereto free and clear of any Liens, from OFL to ORFC, and that the
Receivables and the Other
22
Conveyed Property shall not be a part of OFL's estate in the event of the
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation
proceeding, or other proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or
similar law, or the occurrence of another similar event, of, or with respect
to, OFL. In the event that such conveyance is determined to be made as
security for a loan made by ORFC, any Assignee or any Holders to OFL, the
parties intend that OFL shall have granted to ORFC a security interest in all
of OFL's right, title and interest in and to the Receivables and the Other
Conveyed Property conveyed pursuant to each Assignment Agreement, and that
this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.
SECTION 6.9. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO THE
PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS THEREOF AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

LAWS.
SECTION 6.10. COUNTERPARTS. For the purpose of facilitating the
execution of this Agreement and for other purposes, this Agreement may be
executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which
counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which counterparts
shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
SECTION 6.11. CONVEYANCE OF THE RECEIVABLES AND THE OTHER CONVEYED
PROPERTY TO AN ASSIGNEE. OFL acknowledges that ORFC intends, pursuant to a
Servicing Agreement and other Related Document, to convey the Receivables and
the Other Conveyed Property, together with its rights under this Agreement, to
Assignees under Warehousing Documents and Securitization Documents. OFL
acknowledges and consents to such conveyance and waives any further notice
thereof and covenants and agrees that the representations and warranties of OFL
contained in this Agreement and the rights of ORFC hereunder are intended to
benefit each Security Insurer, each Assignee, each Collateral Agent and each
Trustee on behalf of its Holders. In furtherance of the foregoing, OFL
covenants and agrees to perform its duties and obligations hereunder, in
accordance with the terms hereof for the benefit of each Security Insurer, each
Assignee, each Collateral Agent and each Trustee on behalf of its Holders and
that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, OFL shall be

Servicer, any Backup Servicer or ORFC to perform its duties and obligations
hereunder or under any Servicing Agreement) and that each such Assignee or the
related Security Insurer may enforce the duties and obligations of OFL under
this Agreement against OFL for the benefit of the related Assignee.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF OFL
1. CHARACTERISTICS OF RECEIVABLES. Each Receivable (A) was
originated by a Dealer for the retail sale of a Financed Vehicle in the
ordinary course of such Dealer's business and such Dealer had all necessary
licenses and permits to originate Receivables in the state where such Dealer
was located, was fully and properly executed by the parties thereto, was
purchased by OFL from such Dealer under an existing Dealer Agreement with OFL
and was validly assigned by such Dealer to OFL, (B) contains customary and
enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the
holder thereof adequate for realization against the collateral security, and
(C) is a fully amortizing Receivable which provides for level monthly
payments (provided that the payment in the first calendar month and the final
calendar month of the life of the Receivable may be minimally different from
the level payment) which, if made when due, shall fully amortize the Amount
Financed over the original term.
2. NO FRAUD OR MISREPRESENTATION. Each Receivable was originated
by a Dealer and was sold by the Dealer to OFL without any fraud or
misrepresentation on the part of such Dealer in either case.
3. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. All requirements of applicable federal,

been complied with in all material respects, and each Receivable and the sale
of the Financed Vehicle evidenced by each Receivable complied at the time it
was originated or made and now complies in all material respects with all
applicable legal requirements.
4. ORIGINATION. Each Receivable was originated in the United
States.
5. BINDING OBLIGATION. Each Receivable represents the genuine,
legal, valid and binding payment obligation of the Obligor thereon,
enforceable by the holder thereof in accordance with its terms, except (A) as
enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
similar laws affecting
the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general principles of
equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law and (B) as such Receivable may be modified by
the application after its Cut-Off Date of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil
Relief Act of 1940, as amended; and all parties to each Receivable had full
legal capacity to execute and deliver such Receivable and all other documents
related thereto and to grant the security interest purported to be granted
thereby.
6. NO GOVERNMENT OBLIGOR. No Obligor is the United States of
America or any State or any agency, department, subdivision or
instrumentality thereof.
7. OBLIGOR BANKRUPTCY. At the applicable Cut-Off Date, no
Obligor had been identified on the records of OFL as being the subject of a
current bankruptcy proceeding.
8. SCHEDULE OF RECEIVABLES. The information set forth in the
most recent Schedule of Receivables delivered to an Assignee was true and
correct in all material respects as of the close of business on the
applicable Cut-Off Date.
9. MARKING RECORDS. On each Assignment Date, the portions of the
Electronic Ledger relating to the Receivables assigned to ORFC on such date
will be clearly and unambiguously marked to show that the Receivables were
sold to ORFC pursuant to this Agreement and each Assignment Agreement. On
each date on which Receivables are transferred by ORFC to an Assignee, OFL
will cause the portion of the Electronic Ledger relating to the Receivables
to be clearly and unambiguously marked to show that the Receivables were sold
by ORFC to an Assignee under the terms of the relevant Related Document.
10. COMPUTER TAPE. The Computer Tape, computer diskette or other

each Assignment Date was complete and accurate as of the applicable Cut-Off
Date, and includes a description of the same Receivables that are described

within the meaning of the UCC as in effect in the States of Minnesota and New
York.
13. ONE ORIGINAL. There is only one original executed copy of
each Receivable.
14. RECEIVABLE FILES COMPLETE. On the applicable Assignment Date
there exists a complete Receivable File for each
B-2
Receivable transferred on such date, and such Receivable File is in the
possession of the relevant Custodian on such Assignment Date. A Receivable
File pertaining to each Receivable will contain on the related Assignment
Date (a) a fully executed original of the Receivable, (b) a certificate of
insurance, application form for insurance signed by the Obligor or a signed
representation letter from the Obligor named in the Receivable pursuant to
which the Obligor has agreed to obtain physical damage insurance for the
Financed Vehicle, or a documented verbal confirmation by an insurance agent
for the Obligor of a policy number for an insurance policy for the Financed
Vehicle, (c) the original Lien Certificate or application therefor or a
letter from the applicable Dealer agreeing unconditionally to repurchase the
related Receivable if the certificate of title is not received by OFL within
180 days, and (d) a credit application of the Obligor or a copy thereof.
Each of such documents which is required to be signed by the Obligor will
have been signed by the Obligor in the appropriate spaces. All blanks on any
form will have been properly filled in and each form will otherwise have been
correctly prepared.
15. RECEIVABLES IN FORCE. No Receivable has been satisfied,
subordinated or rescinded, and the Financed Vehicle securing each such
Receivable has not been released from the lien of the related Receivable in
whole or in part. No provisions of any Receivable have been waived, altered
or modified in any respect since its origination, except by instruments or
documents identified in the Receivable File. No Receivable has been modified
as a result of application of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of
1940, as amended.
16. LAWFUL ASSIGNMENT. No Receivable was originated in, or is
subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction, the laws of which would make
unlawful, void or voidable the sale, transfer and assignment of such
Receivable under any Assignment Agreement, Servicing Agreement or other
Related Document or pursuant to transfers of any Securities.
17. GOOD TITLE. No Receivable has been sold, transferred,
assigned or pledged by OFL to any Person other than ORFC unless the same was
released prior to the transfer of such Receivable to ORFC; immediately prior
to the conveyance of the Receivables to ORFC pursuant to any Assignment
Agreement, OFL had good and indefeasible title thereto, free and clear of any
Lien; and immediately upon the transfer thereof, ORFC shall have good and
indefeasible title to and will be the sole owner of each Receivable, free of
any Lien, other than Liens created by ORFC pursuant to a Related Document.
No Dealer has a participation in, or other right to receive, proceeds of any
Receivable. OFL has not taken any action to convey any right to any Person
that would result in such Person having a right to payments received under
the related Insurance Policies or the related Dealer Agreements or Dealer
Assignments or to payments due under such Receivables.
B-3
18. SECURITY INTEREST IN FINANCED VEHICLE. Each Receivable
creates a valid, binding and enforceable first priority security interest in
favor of OFL in the Financed Vehicle. The Lien Certificate and original
certificate of title for each Financed Vehicle show, or if a new or
replacement Lien Certificate is being applied for with respect to such
Financed Vehicle the Lien Certificate will be received within 180 days of the
related Assignment Date and will show, OFL named as the original secured
party under each Receivable as the holder of a first priority security
interest in such Financed Vehicle. With respect to each Receivable for which
the Lien Certificate has not yet been returned from the Registrar of Titles,
OFL has received written evidence from the related Dealer that such Lien
Certificate showing OFL as first lienholder has been applied for, or a letter
from the applicable Dealer agreeing unconditionally to repurchase the related
Receivable if the certificate of title is not received within 180 days.
OFL's security interest has been validly assigned by OFL to ORFC pursuant to
the applicable Assignment Agreement. Immediately after the sale, transfer
and assignment thereof by ORFC to an Assignee, each Receivable will be
secured by an enforceable and perfected first priority security interest in
the Financed Vehicle in favor of such Assignee as secured party, which
security interest is prior to all other Liens upon and security interests in
such Financed Vehicle which now exist or may hereafter arise or be created
(except, as to priority, for any lien for taxes, labor or materials affecting
a Financed Vehicle). As of the applicable Cut-Off Date there were no Liens
or claims for taxes, work, labor or materials affecting a Financed Vehicle
which are or may be Liens prior or equal to the lien of the related
Receivable.
19. ALL FILINGS MADE. All filings (including, without limitation,
UCC filings) required to be made by any Person and actions required to be
taken or performed by any Person in any jurisdiction to give ORFC a first
priority perfected lien on, or ownership interest in, the Receivables and the
Other Conveyed Property have been made, taken or performed.
20. NO IMPAIRMENT. OFL has not done anything to convey any right
to any Person that would result in such Person having a right to payments due
under a Receivable or otherwise to impair the rights of ORFC, any Assignee
and the related Trustee on behalf of its Holders in any Receivable or the
proceeds thereof.
21. RECEIVABLE NOT ASSUMABLE. No Receivable is assumable by
another Person in a manner which would release the Obligor thereof from such
Obligor's obligations to OFL with respect to such Receivable.
22. NO DEFENSES. No Receivable is subject to any right of
rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense and no such right has been
asserted or threatened with respect to any Receivable.
B-4
23. NO DEFAULT. There has been no default, breach, violation or
event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Receivable (other than
payment delinquencies of not more than 30 days), and no condition exists or
event has occurred and is continuing that with notice, the lapse of time or
both would constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting
acceleration under the terms of any Receivable, and there has been no waiver
of any of the foregoing. As of the applicable Cut-Off Date, no Financed
Vehicle has been repossessed.
24. INSURANCE. As of the Assignment Date for the related
Receivable, each Financed Vehicle is covered by a comprehensive and collision
insurance policy (i) in an amount at least equal to the lesser of (a) its
maximum insurable value or (b) the principal amount due from the Obligor
under the related Receivable, (ii) naming OFL as loss payee and (iii)
insuring against loss and damage due to fire, theft, transportation,
collision and other risks generally covered by comprehensive and collision
coverage. Each Receivable requires the Obligor to maintain physical loss and
damage insurance, naming OFL and its successors and assigns as additional
insured parties, and each Receivable permits the holder thereof to obtain
physical loss and damage insurance at the expense of the Obligor if the
Obligor fails to do so. No Financed Vehicle was or had previously been
insured under a policy of Force-Placed Insurance on the related Cut-Off Date.
25. PAST DUE. As of the applicable Cut-Off Date, no Receivable
was more than 30 days past due and no funds have been advanced by OFL, ORFC,
the Servicer, any Dealer or anyone acting on behalf of any of them in order
to cause any Receivable to satisfy such requirement.
26. REMAINING PRINCIPAL BALANCE. As of the applicable Cut-Off
Date, each Receivable had a remaining principal balance equal to or greater
than $500.00 and the Principal Balance of each Receivable set forth in the
related Schedule of Receivables is true and accurate in all material respects.
27. ORIGINAL MATURITY. Each Receivable, and the Receivables as a
whole, had original maturities with the parameters represented and warranted
to by ORFC in the related Warehousing Document or Securitization Document.
If represented and warranted to by ORFC in the related Securitization
Document or Warehousing Document, each Receivable with an original maturity
of greater than 72 months is secured by a Financed Vehicle that is a new
automobile or an automobile that is less than one year old. If applicable,
no more than the percentage specified in the applicable Warehousing Document
or Securitization Document of the Receivables are Classic Receivables or are
secured by Financed Vehicles that are financed repossessions, or satisfy any
other applicable categorization with respect to Receivable type.
B-5
28. COMPLIANCE WITH UNDERWRITING GUIDELINES. Each Receivable was
originated pursuant to OFL's underwriting standards which have not, without the
prior written consent of any Person specified in a Related Document, been
materially changed since the Closing Date.
