this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and the Related Documents and the fulfillment of the terms of
this Agreement and the Related Documents do not and will not conflict with,
result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of or constitute
(with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under the certificate
of incorporation or bylaws of ORFC, or conflict with or breach any of the
terms or provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice
-11-
or lapse of time) a default under, any indenture, agreement, mortgage,
deed of trust or other instrument to which ORFC is a party or by which
ORFC is bound or to which any of its properties are subject, or result in
the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties
pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement, mortgage, deed of
trust or other instrument (other than the Sale and Servicing Agreement
and the Indenture), or violate any law, order, rule or regulation,
applicable to ORFC or its properties, of any federal or state regulatory
body or any court, administrative agency, or other governmental
instrumentality having jurisdiction over ORFC or any of its properties.
(g) NO PROCEEDINGS. There are no proceedings or investigations
pending, or, to the knowledge of ORFC, threatened against ORFC, before any
court, regulatory body, administrative agency, or other tribunal or
governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over ORFC or its
properties: (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement or any of the
Related Documents, (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Related
Documents, (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that might materially
and adversely affect the performance by ORFC of its obligations under, or
the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement or any of the Related
Documents or (iv) that may adversely affect the federal or state income
tax attributes of, or seeking to impose any excise, franchise, transfer or
similar tax upon, the transfer and acquisition of the Initial Receivables
and the Initial Other Conveyed Property hereunder or the transfer of the
Initial Receivables and the Initial Other Conveyed Property to the Trust
pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
In the event of any breach of a representation and warranty made by ORFC
hereunder, OFL covenants and agrees that it will not take any action to pursue
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 pass-through certificates
or other similar securities issued by the Trust, or a trust or similar vehicle
formed by ORFC, 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 the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust.

such cost, expense, loss, claim, damage, or liability arose out of, or was
imposed upon ORFC, the Trust, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the
Certificateholders through the negligence, willful misfeasance, or bad faith of
OFL in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or under any

obligations and duties under this Agreement or under any Subsequent Purchase
Agreement.
(g) OFL shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless ORFC, the Owner

judgment) of ORFC.

ARTICLE V
REPURCHASES
SECTION 5.1 REPURCHASE OF RECEIVABLES UPON BREACH OF WARRANTY. Upon
the occurrence of a Repurchase Event OFL shall, unless such breach shall have
been cured in all material respects, repurchase such Receivable from the Trust
and, on or before the related Deposit Date, OFL shall pay the Purchase Amount to
the Trust pursuant to Section 4.5 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. 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, the Security Insurer,
Certificateholders, Noteholders, or the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee
on behalf of Certificateholders or Noteholders. The provisions of this Section
5.1 are intended to grant the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee a direct
right 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 Section 2.6 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, any Subsequent Purchase Agreement or the
Sale and Servicing Agreement or any Subsequent Transfer Agreement to the
contrary, the obligation of OFL under this Section shall not terminate upon a
termination of OFL as Servicer under the Sale and 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 the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
In addition to the foregoing and notwithstanding whether the related
Receivable shall have been purchased by OFL, OFL shall indemnify the Owner
Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Security Insurer, the
Trust, the Noteholders and the Certificateholders 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 and the Owner Trustee shall take such steps as may
be reasonably requested by OFL in order to assign to OFL all of ORFC's and the
Trust's right, title and interest in and to such Receivable and all security and
documents and all Other Conveyed Property conveyed to ORFC and the Trust
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 the Owner Trustee. Such assignment shall be a sale
and assignment outright, and not for security. If, following the reassignment
of a
-17-
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
and the Owner Trustee 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 the Owner Trustee's name or the names of the Certificateholders.
SECTION 5.3 WAIVERS. No failure or delay on the part of ORFC, or the
Owner Trustee as assignee of ORFC, in exercising any power, right or remedy
under this Agreement or under any Subsequent Purchase 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 or in any
Subsequent Purchase Agreement specifically undertaken by OFL and the
representations and warranties of OFL.
SECTION 6.2 FAILURE OF OFL TO SELL SUBSEQUENT RECEIVABLES. In the
event that OFL shall fail to deliver and sell to ORFC any or all of the
Subsequent Receivables required under this Agreement, OFL shall be obligated to
pay to ORFC the Liquidated Damages on the Business Day immediately preceding the
Distribution Date on which the Funding Period ends (or, if the Funding Period
does not end on a Distribution Date, on the first Distribution Date following
the end of the Funding Period).
SECTION 6.3 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, 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 each Subsequent Purchase Agreement and, whether or not such
assumption agreement is executed, shall be the successor to OFL or ORFC, as the
case may be, hereunder and under each such Subsequent Purchase Agreement
(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
-18-
by any of the parties to this Agreement or each Subsequent Purchase
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as an Insurer Default shall
not have occurred and be continuing, 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 the Security Insurer. OFL or
ORFC shall promptly inform the other party, the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee and, so long as an Insurer Default shall not have occurred
and be continuing, the 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 and this
Agreement, or similar representation or warranty made in any Subsequent
Purchase Agreement, 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 the Insurance Agreement, shall
have occurred and be continuing, (y) OFL or ORFC, as applicable, shall have
delivered written notice of such consolidation, merger or purchase and
assumption to the Rating Agencies prior to the consummation of such
transaction and shall have delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture
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 6.3 and that all conditions precedent, if any,
provided for in this Agreement, or in each Subsequent Purchase Agreement,
relating to such transaction have been complied with, and (z) OFL or ORFC, as
applicable, shall have delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, stating that, in the opinion of such counsel,
either (A) all financing statements and continuation statements and
amendments thereto have been executed and filed that are necessary to
preserve and protect the interest of the Owner Trustee in the Trust Property
and reciting the details of the filings or (B) no such action shall be
necessary to preserve and protect such interest.
SECTION 6.4 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, any
Subsequent Purchase Agreement or its Related Documents and that in its opinion
may involve it in any expense or liability.
SECTION 6.5 OFL MAY OWN NOTES OR CERTIFICATES. Subject to the
provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, OFL and any Affiliate of OFL may
in its individual or any other capacity become the owner or pledgee of Notes or
Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it were not OFL or an
Affiliate thereof.
-19-
SECTION 6.6 AMENDMENT.
(a) This Agreement and any Subsequent Purchase Agreement may be
amended by OFL and ORFC, so long as an Insurer Default shall not have
occurred and be continuing, with the prior written consent of the Security
Insurer and without the consent of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee
or any of the Certificateholders or Noteholders (A) to cure any ambiguity or
(B) to correct any provisions in this Agreement or any such Subsequent
Purchase Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such action shall not, as
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of
any Certificateholder or Noteholder.
(b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by OFL
and ORFC, so long as an Insurer Default shall not have occurred and be
continuing, with the prior written consent of the Security Insurer, the Owner
Trustee and the Indenture Trustee and a Certificate Majority and a Note
Majority, 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 the Certificateholders or the
Noteholders; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such amendment shall (i) increase or

notification of the substance of such amendment or consent to each
Certificateholder and Noteholder.
(e) It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders
or Noteholders 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 Certificateholders or
Noteholders shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Owner
Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, may prescribe, including the
establishment of record dates. The consent of any Holder of a Certificate or
Note 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 Certificate
-20-
or Note and of any Certificate or Note issued upon the transfer thereof or in
exchange thereof or in lieu thereof whether or not notation of such consent is
made upon the Certificate or Note.
SECTION 6.7 NOTICES. All demands, notices and communications to
OFL or ORFC hereunder shall be in writing, personally delivered, or sent by
telecopier (subsequently confirmed in writing), reputable overnight courier

Related Documents. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, waived or
supplemented except as provided herein.
SECTION 6.9 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 6.10 INTENTION OF THE PARTIES. The execution and delivery of
this Agreement and of each Subsequent Purchase Agreement shall constitute an
acknowledgment by OFL and ORFC that they intend that each assignment and
transfer herein and therein contemplated constitute a sale and assignment
outright, and not for security, of the Initial Receivables and the Initial Other
Conveyed Property and the Subsequent Receivables and Subsequent Other Conveyed
Property, as the case may be, conveying good title thereto free and clear of any
Liens, from OFL to ORFC, and that the Initial Receivables and the Initial Other
Conveyed Property and the Subsequent Receivables and Subsequent Other 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, the Trust, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders 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 Initial
-21-
Receivables and the Initial Other Conveyed Property and the Subsequent
Receivables and Subsequent Other Conveyed Property, as the case may be, conveyed
pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof or pursuant to any Subsequent Purchase Agreement,

counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which counterparts

SECTION 6.13 CONVEYANCE OF THE INITIAL RECEIVABLES AND THE INITIAL
OTHER CONVEYED PROPERTY TO THE TRUST. OFL acknowledges that ORFC intends,
pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, to convey the Initial Receivables
and the Initial Other Conveyed Property, together with its rights under this
Agreement, to the Trust on the date hereof. 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 the Security Insurer, the
Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Trust, the Certificateholders and the
Noteholders. In furtherance of the foregoing, OFL covenants and agrees to

hereof for the benefit of the Security Insurer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee, the Trust, the Certificateholders and the Noteholders and that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, OFL shall be

by the Servicer, the Backup Servicer or ORFC to perform its duties and
obligations hereunder or under the Sale and Servicing Agreement) and that the

similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian,
sequestrator or other similar official of the Trust (or ORFC) or any substantial
