THIS TRANSFER AND SALE AGREEMENT, dated as of [ ] (this “Agreement”), is made by and between Harley-Davidson Credit Corp., a Nevada corporation, as seller hereunder (together with its successors and assigns “Harley-Davidson Credit” or “Seller”), and Harley-Davidson Customer Funding Corp., a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Seller (together with its successors and assigns “Trust Depositor”), as purchaser hereunder.
WHEREAS, in the regular course of its business, Seller purchases and services (i) motorcycle promissory notes and security agreements from Eaglemark Savings Bank and (ii) motorcycle retail installment sale contracts from Harley-Davidson motorcycle retailers, each of which contracts provides for installment payment obligations by or on behalf of the retailer’s customer/purchaser and grants a security interest in the related motorcycle in order to secure such obligations;
WHEREAS, Seller and Trust Depositor wish to set forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which Trust Depositor will acquire the “Contract Assets,” as hereinafter defined; and
WHEREAS, Trust Depositor intends concurrently with its purchase of Contract Assets hereunder to convey all right, title and interest in such Contract Assets to Harley-Davidson Motorcycle [Grantor[ Trust [ ] (the “[Underlying] Trust”) pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement dated as of , 20[ ] by and among Trust Depositor, Harley-Davidson Credit, as Servicer, [the Underlying Trust,] the Trust, as issuer (the “Issuer”), and [ ], as Indenture Trustee (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Sale and Servicing Agreement”), executed concurrently herewith;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements hereinafter set forth, Seller and Trust Depositor agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS
Section 1.01. General. Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement, capitalized terms used herein (including in the preamble above) shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
ARTICLE II
TRANSFER OF CONTRACTS; ASSIGNMENT OF AGREEMENT
Section 2.01. Closing. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Seller hereby sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to Trust Depositor, in consideration of Trust Depositor’s payment of a purchase price in cash of $[ ] (less fees and expenses in connection with the offering and sale of the Notes and certain deposits to the Reserve Fund on the Closing Date) and the Trust’s issuance of the Class [ ] Notes and the Certificate to [the Trust Depositor], (i) all the right, title and interest of Seller in and to the Contracts listed on the List of Contracts delivered on the Closing Date (including, without limitation, all security interests created thereunder), (ii) all rights of the Seller to payments which are collected pursuant thereto after the Cutoff Date, including any liquidation proceeds therefrom, (iii) all rights of Seller under any theft, physical damage, credit life, disability or other individual insurance policy (and rights under a “forced placed” policy, if any), any debt insurance policy or any debt cancellation agreement relating to any such Contract, an Obligor or a Motorcycle securing such Contract, (iv) all security interests in each such
Motorcycle, (v) all documents contained in the related Contract Files, (vi) all rights of Seller in the Lockbox, Lockbox Account and related Lockbox Agreement to the extent they relate to the Contracts (but excluding payments received on or before the Cutoff Date), (vii) all rights (but not the obligations) of the Seller under any motorcycle dealer agreements between the dealers (i.e. the originators of certain Contracts) and the Seller, (viii) all rights of Seller to rebates of premiums and other amounts relating to insurance policies, debt cancellation agreements, extended service contracts or other repair agreements and other items financed under such Contracts and (ix) all proceeds and products of the foregoing (items (i) - (ix) being collectively referred to herein as the “Contract Assets”). Although Seller and Trust Depositor agree that any such transfer is intended to be a sale of ownership in the Contract Assets, rather than the mere granting of a security interest to secure a borrowing, in the event such transfer is deemed to be of a mere security interest to secure indebtedness, Seller shall be deemed to have granted Trust Depositor a perfected first priority security interest in such Contract Assets and this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. If such transfer is deemed to be the mere granting of a security interest to secure a borrowing, Trust Depositor may, to secure Trust Depositor’s own borrowing under the Sale and Servicing Agreement (to the extent that the transfer of the Contract Assets thereunder is deemed to be a mere granting of a security interest to secure a borrowing) repledge and reassign (i) all or a portion of the Contract Assets pledged to Trust Depositor and not released from the security interest of this Agreement at the time of such pledge and assignment, and (ii) all proceeds thereof. Such repledge and reassignment may be made by Trust Depositor with or without a repledge and reassignment by Trust Depositor of its rights under this Agreement, and without further notice to or acknowledgment from Seller. Seller waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all claims, causes of action and remedies, whether legal or equitable (including any right of setoff), against Trust Depositor or any assignee of Trust Depositor relating to such action by Trust Depositor in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Sale and Servicing Agreement. To the extent the cash purchase price for the Contract Assets sold by the Seller to the Trust Depositor is less than the Pool Balance as of the Cutoff Date, the difference shall be deemed to be a capital contribution by the Seller to the Trust Depositor.
Section 2.02. Conditions to the Closing. On or before the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Trust Depositor each of the documents, certificates and other items as follows:
(a) The List of Contracts, certified by the Chairman of the Board, President or any Vice President of Seller together with an Assignment substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto.
(b) A certificate of an officer of Seller substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto.
(c) An opinion of counsel for Seller substantially in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Underwriters (and including as an addressee thereof each Rating Agency).
(d) A letter or letters from [ ], or another nationally recognized accounting firm, addressed to Seller, Trust Depositor and the Underwriters and stating that such firm has reviewed a sample of the Contracts and performed specific procedures for such sample with respect to certain contract terms and identifying those Contracts which do not so conform.
(e) Copies of resolutions of the Board of Directors of Seller or of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of Seller approving the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereunder, certified in each case by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of Seller.
(f) Officially certified recent evidence of due incorporation and good standing of Seller under the laws of Nevada.
[USE IF NO GRANTOR TRUST:][(g) A UCC financing statement naming Seller as debtor, naming Trust Depositor and the Issuer as assignor secured parties, naming the Indenture Trustee as secured party and identifying the Contract Assets as collateral, in proper form for filing with the appropriate office in Nevada; a UCC financing statement naming Trust Depositor as debtor, naming the Trust as assignor secured party, naming the Indenture Trustee as secured party and identifying the Trust Corpus as collateral, in proper form for filing with the appropriate office in Nevada; and a UCC financing statement naming the Issuer as debtor, naming the Indenture Trustee, as secured party and identifying the Collateral as collateral, in proper form for filing with the appropriate office in Delaware.]

(h) An Officer’s Certificate from Seller certifying that the Seller, on or prior to the Closing Date, has indicated in its computer files, in accordance with its customary standards, policies and procedures, that the Contracts have been conveyed to the Trust Depositor pursuant to this Agreement.
(i) The documents, certificates and other items described in Section 2.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, to the extent not already described above.
Section 2.03. Assignment of Agreement. Trust Depositor has the right to assign its interest under this Agreement to [the Issuer][the Underlying Trust] as may be required to effect the purposes of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, without further notice to, or consent of, Seller, and [the Issuer][the Underlying Trust] shall succeed to such of the rights of Trust Depositor hereunder as shall be so assigned. Seller acknowledges that [(i)] pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, Trust Depositor will assign all of its right, title and interest in and to the Contract Assets and its right to exercise the remedies created by Section 5.01 hereof for breaches of representations and warranties of Seller contained in Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 and 3.04 hereof to [the Issuer][the Underlying Trust] [and (ii) pursuant to the Indenture, the Issuer shall assign such rights to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders]. Seller agrees that, upon such assignments to [the Underlying Trust][the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee], such representations will run to and be for the benefit of [the Underlying Trust][the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee] and [the Underlying Trust][the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee] may enforce directly, without joinder of Trust Depositor, the obligations of Seller set forth herein.

(e) Litigation. No litigation or administrative proceeding of or before any court, tribunal or governmental body is currently pending, or to the knowledge of Seller threatened, against Seller or any of its properties or with respect to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which the Seller is a party which, if adversely determined, would in the opinion of Seller have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets or condition (financial or

ARTICLE V
REMEDIES UPON MISREPRESENTATION
Section 5.01. Repurchases of Contracts for Breach of Representations and Warranties.
(a) Seller hereby agrees, for the benefit of [the Underlying Trust,] the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Trust Depositor, that it shall repurchase a Contract (together with all related Contract Assets), at its Repurchase Price, not later than two Business Days prior to the first Distribution Date after the last day of the calendar month in which the Seller becomes aware or receives written notice from Trust Depositor, [either][any] of the Trustees or the Servicer of any breach of a representation or warranty of Seller set forth in Article III of this Agreement that materially adversely affects Trust Depositor’s or the [Underlying] Trust’s interest in such Contract (without regard to the benefits of the Reserve Fund) and
which breach has not been cured; provided, however, that with respect to any Contract described on the List of Contracts with respect to an incorrect unpaid Principal Balance which Seller would otherwise be required to repurchase pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) and Section 7.08 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, Seller may, in lieu of repurchasing such Contract, deposit in the Collection Account not later than one Business Day prior to such Distribution Date cash in an amount sufficient to cure any deficiency or discrepancy; and provided further that with respect to a breach of a representation or warranty relating to the Contracts in the aggregate and not to any particular Contract, Seller may select Contracts (without adverse selection) to repurchase such that had such Contracts not been reconveyed by Trust Depositor and included as part of the [Underlying] Trust there would have been no breach of such representation or warranty; provided further that the failure to maintain perfection of the security interest in the Motorcycle securing a Contract in accordance with the Sale and Servicing Agreement shall be deemed to be a breach materially and adversely affecting the [Underlying] Trust’s interest in the Contracts or in the related Contract Assets.
(b) If the Servicer determines in good faith that the representation and warranty of the Seller as set forth in Section 3.02(i) herein may have been violated with respect to one or more Contracts, and that amendment of the terms of such Contract(s) could better ensure compliance with applicable laws and if the Seller shall have notified the Servicer in writing of its intention to amend the terms of such Contract(s) to ensure compliance with applicable laws upon reacquisition pursuant to Section 7.08(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, the Servicer shall give prompt written notice of such determination to the other parties. The Seller shall reacquire from the Trust Depositor, in accordance with Section 7.08 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, a Contract at its Purchase Price (which shall be deposited into the Collection Account), not later than two Business Days prior to the first Distribution Date after the last day of the calendar month in which the Trust Depositor and the Seller receive the written notice from the Servicer described above; provided, however, that no Contract shall be reacquired pursuant to this Section 5.01(b) if, after giving effect to such reacquisition, the aggregate Principal Balance of the Contracts so reacquired, measured as of the Cutoff Date, would exceed 10% of the Pool Balance as of the Cutoff Date. For the avoidance of doubt, this provision does not limit the obligation of the Seller to repurchase any Contract for which there is a breach of a representation or warranty of the Seller as set forth in Article III of this Agreement and there shall be no limitation on the Principal Balance or the number of Contracts that are required to be repurchased by the Seller in connection with a breach of a representation or warranty of the Seller as set forth in Article III of this Agreement.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the obligations of Seller under this Section 5.01 and under Section 7.08 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement shall not terminate upon a Service Transfer pursuant to Article Eight of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

(6) No event with respect to Harley-Davidson Credit has occurred and is continuing which would constitute an Event of Termination or an event that, with notice or the passage of time, would constitute an Event of Termination under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. To the best of my knowledge after reasonable investigation, there has been no material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of Harley-Davidson Credit, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Preliminary Prospectus (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) or the Prospectus and except as set forth therein.

(9) There is no action, investigation or proceeding pending or, to my knowledge, threatened against Harley-Davidson Credit before any court, administrative agency or other tribunal (a) asserting the invalidity of any Program Agreement to which Harley-Davidson Credit is a party; or (b) which is likely materially and adversely to affect Harley-Davidson Credit’s performance of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, the Program Agreements.
(10) No consent, approval, authorization or order of, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental agency or body or state or federal court is required to be obtained by Harley-Davidson Credit for Harley-Davidson Credit’s consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Program Agreements, except such as have been obtained or made and such as may be required under the blue sky laws of any jurisdiction in connection with the issuance and sale of the Notes or the issuance of the Certificate.
(11) Neither Harley-Davidson Credit’s transfer and assignment of the Contract Assets to CFC, CFC’s concurrent transfer and assignment of the Trust Corpus to the [Underlying Trust][Trust, nor the concurrent pledge by the Trust of the Collateral to the Indenture Trustee], nor the issuance and sale of the Notes, the issuance of the Certificate or the entering into of the Program Agreements, nor the consummation of any other of the transactions contemplated therein, will violate or conflict with any agreement or instrument to which Harley-Davidson Credit is a party or by which it is otherwise bound.
(12) In connection with the transfers of Contracts and related assets contemplated in the Transfer and Sale Agreement, (a) Harley-Davidson Credit has not made such transfer with actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor of Harley-Davidson Credit, and (b) Harley-Davidson Credit has not received less than a reasonably equivalent value in exchange for such transfer, is not on the date hereof insolvent (nor will Harley-Davidson Credit become insolvent as a result thereof), is not engaged (or about to engage) in a business or transaction for which it has unreasonably small capital, and does not intend to incur or believe it will incur debts beyond its ability to pay when matured.

(16) Harley-Davidson Credit has not authorized the filing of any UCC financing statements listing the Contract Assets as collateral other than financing statements relating to the transactions contemplated in the Transfer and Sale Agreement.
