2. PA, from time to time, may advance against, otherwise acquire or enter into Invoices
acceptable to PA, executed by or on behalf of Dealers in accordance with PA’s plan or plans of
financing in effect from time to time, including, without limitation, the Program Letter. Such
Dealers shall be of acceptable credit and financial responsibility to PA.
3. (a) If PA shall repossess or come into possession of any Wholegoods Inventory covered by
any Invoice, Polaris will purchase from PA, upon demand, such Wholegoods Inventory as may be
repossessed or that PA may come into possession of, wherever located, and will pay PA
therefor, in cash or by credit memo and within thirty (30) days, an amount equal to the
unpaid balance of the original Invoice with respect to such Wholegoods Inventory, if such

but subject only to wear and tear incident to display or demonstration.
(b) If PA shall repossess or come into possession of any Trade-In Inventory, Polaris

obligations with respect to the above described Inventory. Polaris will not assert any
interest in or any title to such repossessed Inventory until the said purchase price
therefor has been paid to PA in full, in cash or by credit memo.
(e) Notwithstanding the terms in paragraphs 3(a) through 3(c) above, Polaris’s purchase
obligation in any calendar year under this Repurchase Agreement shall not exceed fifteen
percent (15%) of the average month-end balance of total outstandings for Inventory financed
by PA the prior calendar year. The calendar year in which PA tenders the Inventory to
Polaris for purchase shall be the calendar year in which Polaris incurs the purchase
obligation. However, Polaris’s purchase limit relates only to Inventory PA repossesses or
comes into possession of because a Dealer is in default to PA under the terms of its
financing arrangement or because a Dealer is experiencing some type of financial difficulty.
(f) PA may, from time to time, extend loans to Dealers to enable such Dealers to

of Polaris set forth in this Repurchase Agreement, including, but not limited to, Polaris’s
obligation to repurchase Inventory, in consideration of financing provided or to be provided
by CDF to Dealers and for other good and valuable consideration received, Polaris
unconditionally and absolutely guarantees to CDF the immediate payment when due of one
hundred percent (100%) of all current and future Liabilities which any Dealer owes to CDF as
a result of CDF’s extension of financing to such Dealer for Manufacturer Fees. The term
“Liabilities” as used in this paragraph means the principal balance and any finance charges
due and owing to CDF by a Dealer and all costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by CDF in attempting to collect such balance and
charges from such Dealer. Polaris will immediately pay CDF the amount owed under the terms
of this paragraph on receipt of notice from CDF that Liabilities exist with respect to any
Dealer.
This guaranty will not be released, discharged or affected by the impairment, sale or other
disposition of any collateral that is security for any Dealer’s debt to CDF. Polaris will
pay CDF even if CDF has not: (i) notified the applicable Dealer that it is in default, or
(ii) exercised any of its rights or remedies against such Dealer, any other person or any
current or future collateral. If any Dealer hereafter undergoes any change in its
ownership, identity or organizational structure, this guaranty will extend to all current
and future obligations which such new or changed legal entity owes to CDF.
Polaris irrevocably waives any right of contribution from any third party, notice of the
number and amount of advances made by CDF to any Dealer in reliance on this guaranty and any
claim or action against any Dealer, all rights of offset against CDF or any Dealer, and all
defenses to the enforceability of this guaranty (including, without limitation, fraudulent
inducement). Polaris further waives all defenses based on suretyship or impairment of
collateral and defenses which any Dealer may assert on the underlying debt, including, but
not limited to, breach of warranty, fraud, payment of disputed amounts, statute of frauds,
bankruptcy, statute of limitations, lender liability and deceptive trade practices.

4. Polaris warrants that: (a) all Invoices issued by Polaris represent valid obligations of
the applicable Dealer, are legally enforceable according to their terms and relate to bonafide,
original acquisition sales of Inventory (except for items of Trade-In Inventory) by Polaris to such
Dealer without any claim, offset or defense to payment by such Dealer; (b) at the time of each such
sale, all Inventory (except for items of Trade-In Inventory) is in new and unused condition and is
of the kind, quality and condition represented or warranted to the applicable Dealer; (c) the
applicable Dealer requested that the acquisition of Inventory be financed by PA; (d) Polaris’s
title to all Inventory (except for items of Trade-In Inventory) is free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances when transferred to the applicable Dealer; (e) all Inventory (except for items of
Trade-In Inventory) subject to this Repurchase Agreement meets or exceeds any and all applicable
federal and state safety standards; and (f) Polaris transfers to the applicable Dealer all its
right, title and interest in and to the Inventory shown on each such Invoice. In the event of
breach of any of the above warranties, Polaris will, upon written request, purchase from PA the
Invoice covering the Inventory (except for items of Trade-In Inventory) with respect to which the
warranty has been breached and will pay therefor, in cash or by credit memo, an amount equal to the
original amount of the Invoice or related Invoice, together with all reasonable costs and expenses,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by PA in connection with such breach.
5. Each of the Polaris entities covenants as follows: (a) except for items of Trade-In
Inventory, all Inventory financed by PA shall be subject to applicable product warranties of
Polaris, and (b) except for items of Trade-In Inventory, Polaris agrees to perform, or cause to be
performed, all repairs, modifications and/or other acts required by Polaris pursuant to said
product warranties. All expenses of performance under this paragraph shall be paid by Polaris.
6. Polaris waives: notice of non-payment; protest and dishonor and notice of protest and
dishonor of any Invoice purchased, otherwise acquired or entered into by PA; notice of PA’s
acceptance of this Repurchase Agreement; and all other notices to which Polaris might otherwise be
entitled by law. PA may, at any time or times without notice to or further consent of Polaris,
renew and extend the time of payment of Invoices or Inventory covered thereby and waive or modify
performance of such terms and conditions of its financing arrangements with Dealers, as PA may
determine to be reasonable, and no such renewal, extension, compromise, adjustment, waiver or
modification shall affect the liability of Polaris hereunder.
7. The terms and conditions of this Repurchase Agreement and the obligations of Polaris under
this Repurchase Agreement shall apply to all Invoices financed by PA and all Inventory held by PA
as collateral relating such Invoices, including, without limitation, (i) all Invoices which PA
refinances for any Dealer by means of a buyout of such Dealer’s debt from another financing source
or otherwise and (ii) all Inventory held by PA as collateral relating to such Invoices.
8. This Repurchase Agreement is not intended to supersede any agreements (other than the
Original Repurchase Agreement) between GE Commercial Distribution Finance Corporation (successor to
Transamerica Commercial Finance Corporation) or any affiliate thereof (collectively, “GECDF”) and
any Polaris Entity or between GE Commercial Distribution Finance Canada (successor to Transamerica
Commercial Finance Corporation Canada) (“GECDF Canada”) and Polaris.
