            THIS POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT is made as of November 28, 2000
by and among Alliance Laundry Systems LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
("ALS" and, in its capacity as Originator and Servicer hereunder, the
"Originator" and the "Servicer," respectively), Alliance Laundry Equipment
Receivables LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("ALER" and, in its
capacity as the Seller hereunder, the "Seller"), and Alliance Laundry Equipment
Receivables Trust 2000-A, a Delaware business trust (the "Issuer").

            WHEREAS, ALS has sold certain Loans to the Seller on the date hereof
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

            WHEREAS, the Seller desires to sell those Loans to the Issuer in
exchange for the Securities and the Servicer desires to perform the servicing
obligations set forth herein for and in consideration of the fees and other
benefits set forth in this Agreement.

            WHEREAS, the Seller and the Issuer wish to set forth the terms
pursuant to which those Loans are to be sold by the Seller to the Issuer and the
Loans will be serviced by the Servicer.

            NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the other good
and valuable consideration and the mutual terms and covenants contained herein,
the parties hereto agree as follows:

                                    ARTICLE I
                              CERTAIN DEFINITIONS

      SECTION 1.01. Definitions. Certain capitalized terms used in the above
recitals and in this Agreement are defined in and shall have the respective

herein to "the Agreement" or "this Agreement" are to this Pooling and Servicing

exhibits hereto and the capitalized terms used herein which are defined in such
Appendix A, and all references herein to Articles, Sections and subsections are
to Articles, Sections or subsections of this Agreement unless otherwise
specified. The rules of construction set forth in Part II of such Appendix A
shall be applicable to this Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE II
             CONVEYANCE OF LOANS; ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES

      SECTION 2.01 Conveyance of Initial Loans. In consideration of the Issuer's
delivery of the Securities to, or upon the order of, the Seller, the Seller does
hereby enter into this Agreement and agree to fulfill all of its obligations
hereunder and to sell, transfer, assign and otherwise convey to the Issuer,
without recourse (except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement), pursuant to
an assignment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-1 (the "Initial PSA
Assignment"), all right, title and interest of the Seller in, to and under:

(a)   the Loans, including without limitation all documents and instruments
      evidencing or governing the Loans and all Loan Files relating thereto,
      identified in the schedule to the Initial


                                       1
<PAGE>

      PSA Assignment (the "Initial Loans") and all monies paid or payable
      thereon (including Liquidation Proceeds) on or after or due and payable,
      but in each case not paid, as of the Initial Cutoff Date;

(b)   the Equipment, including, without limitation, all security interests
      therein, granted by Obligors pursuant to the Initial Loans and any other
      collateral securing the Initial Loans;

(c)   any Insurance Policies and proceeds thereof, and rights and benefits
      thereunder, with respect to such Equipment and any other collateral
      securing the Initial Loans;

(d)   with respect to the Initial Loans, any Guaranties and proceeds thereof,
      and all rights and benefits thereunder;

(e)   the Lockbox and Lockbox Account, all funds on deposit from time to time in
      the Lockbox or in the Lockbox Account with respect to the Initial Loans
      and all proceeds thereof;

(f)   the Purchase Agreement, the Initial PA Assignment pursuant to Section
      2.01(a) of the Purchase Agreement with respect to the Initial Loans, and
      the other Basic Documents (other than the Trust Agreement, the Trust
      Certificate, the Certificates and the documents and certificates executed
      in connection with the foregoing), including the right of the Seller to
      cause ALS to perform its obligations thereunder (including the obligation
      to repurchase such Loans under certain circumstances); and

(g)   any proceeds of the property described in clauses (a) through (f) above.

      It is the intention of the Seller that the transfer and assignment
contemplated by this Section 2.01 shall constitute a sale of the Initial Loans
from the Seller to the Issuer and the beneficial interest in and title to the
assets conveyed pursuant to this Section 2.01 shall not be part of the Seller's
estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the
Seller under any bankruptcy law. The foregoing sale does not constitute and is
not intended to result in any assumption by the Issuer of any obligation of ALS
or the Seller to the Obligors, insurers or any other Person in connection with
the Initial Loans, any Insurance Policies or any agreement or instrument
relating to any of them. On the Closing Date, the Seller shall cause to be
deposited into the Collection Account all Collections (from whatever source) on
or with respect to the assets conveyed pursuant to this Section 2.01 received by
the Seller pursuant to Section 5.07 of the Purchase Agreement. The Seller, the
initial Servicer and the Issuer intend to treat such transfer and assignment as
a sale for accounting and tax purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such transfer and
assignment did not constitute such a sale or that such beneficial interest is a
part of the Seller's estate, then (i) the Seller shall be deemed to have granted
to the Issuer a first priority perfected security interest in all of the
Seller's right title and interest in, to and under the Initial Loans and other
assets referred to in clauses (a) through (g) above, and the Seller hereby
grants such security interest to the Issuer and (ii) the Initial Loans and other
assets referred to in clauses (a) through (g) above shall be deemed to include
all rights, powers and options (but none of the obligations, if any) of the
Seller under any agreement or instrument included in the assets referred to in
clauses (a) through (g) above, including the immediate and continuing right to
claim for, collect, receive and give receipt for principal and interest payments
in respect of such


                                       2
<PAGE>

Loans and all other monies payable under such Loans, to give and receive notices
and other communications, to make waivers or other agreements, to exercise all
rights and options, to bring Proceedings in the name of the Seller or otherwise
and generally to do and receive anything that the Seller is or may be entitled
to do or receive under or with respect to the assets conveyed pursuant to this
Section 2.01. For purposes of such grant, this Agreement shall constitute a
security agreement under the UCC.

      SECTION 2.02 Conveyance of Replacement Loans. Provided no Early Payout
Event or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, on or prior to the
tenth day of the month (each a "Replacement Date"), the Seller shall, if and to
the extent it has Eligible Loans, sell, transfer, assign and otherwise convey to
the Issuer, without recourse (except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement),
and the Issuer shall in such event acquire from the Seller, Replacement Loans in
an amount up to but not in excess of the aggregate amount of Full Prepayments
with respect to Loans during the prior Monthly Period pursuant to an assignment
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-2 (each, a "Replacement Assignment"),
all right, title and interest of the Seller in, to and under:

(a)   the Loans, including all documents and instruments evidencing or governing
      the Loans and all Loan Files relating thereto, identified in the schedule
      to the Replacement Assignment (the "Replacement Loans") and all monies
      paid or payable thereon (including Liquidation Proceeds) on or after or
      due and payable, but in each case not paid, as of the Replacement Cutoff
      Date;

(b)   the Equipment, including, without limitation, all security interests
      therein, granted by Obligors pursuant to such Replacement Loans and any
      other collateral securing such Replacement Loans;

(c)   any Insurance Policies, and proceeds thereof, and rights and benefits
      thereunder, with respect to such Equipment and any other collateral
      securing such Replacement Loans;

(d)   with respect to such Replacement Loans, any Guaranties, and proceeds
      thereof, and all rights and benefits thereunder;

(e)   all funds on deposit from time to time in the Lockbox or in the Lockbox
      Account with respect to such Replacement Loans and all proceeds thereof;

(f)   the Subsequent PA Assignment pursuant to Section 2.01(b) of the Purchase
      Agreement with respect to such Loans, and the other Basic Documents (other
      than the Trust Agreement, the Trust Certificate, the Certificates and the
      documents and certificates executed in connection with the foregoing),
      including the right of the Seller to cause ALS to perform its obligations
      thereunder (including the obligation to repurchase such Loans under
      certain circumstances); and

(g)   any proceeds of the property described in clauses (a) through (f) above.

      Each Replacement Loan shall be an Eligible Loan as of the close of
business on the last day of the month preceding the Replacement Date (the
"Replacement Cutoff Date") and


                                       3
<PAGE>

no Replacement Loan shall have previously been a Replacement Loan or a
Substitute Loan. Loans may not be sold by the Seller or purchased by the Issuer
pursuant to this Section 2.02 if and to the extent (i) on a cumulative basis for
both Pools since the Closing Date, the sum of (A) the aggregate Loan Balance (as
of the related Replacement Cutoff Date) of all Replacement Loans (including
Loans to be purchased on such date) and (B) the aggregate Loan Balance of all
Substitute Loans substituted into the Trust on or prior to such date (including
Loans to be substituted on such date) exceeds 25% of the Aggregate Initial Loan
Balance or (ii) after giving effect to the addition of both the Replacement
Loans and Substitute Loans to be added on such date, the Pool Criteria would not
be satisfied. Only Loans with a fixed interest rate may be added to Pool 1, and
only Loans with a floating interest rate may be added to Pool 2.

      It is the intention of the Seller that the transfer and assignment
contemplated by this Section 2.02 shall constitute a sale of the Replacement
Loans from the Seller to the Issuer and the beneficial interest in and title to
the assets conveyed pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall not be part of the
Seller's estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or
against the Seller under any bankruptcy law. The foregoing sale does not
constitute and is not intended to result in any assumption by the Issuer of any
obligation of ALS or the Seller to the Obligors, insurers or any other Person in
connection with the Replacement Loans, any Insurance Policies or any agreement
or instrument relating to any of them. On the Replacement Date, the Seller shall
cause to be deposited into the Collection Account all Collections (from whatever
source) on or with respect to the assets conveyed pursuant to this Section 2.02
received by the Seller pursuant to Section 5.07 of the Purchase Agreement. The
Seller, the initial Servicer and the Issuer intend to treat such transfer and
assignment as a sale for accounting and tax purposes. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such
transfer and assignment did not constitute such a sale or that such beneficial
interest is a part of the Seller's estate, then (i) the Seller shall be deemed
to have granted to the Issuer a first priority perfected security interest in
all of the Seller's right title and interest in, to and under the Replacement
Loans and other assets referred to in clauses (a) through (g) above, and the
Seller hereby grants such security interest to the Issuer and (ii) the
Replacement Loans and other assets referred to in clauses (a) through (g) above
shall be deemed to include all rights, powers and options (but none of the
obligations, if any) of the Seller under any agreement or instrument included in
the assets referred to in clauses (a) through (g) above, including the immediate
and continuing right to claim for, collect, receive and give receipt for
principal and interest payments in respect of such Loans and all other monies
payable under such Loans, to give and receive notices and other communications,
to make waivers or other agreements, to exercise all rights and options, to
bring Proceedings in the name of the Seller or otherwise and generally to do and
receive anything that the Seller is or may be entitled to do or receive under or
with respect to the assets conveyed pursuant to this Section 2.02. For purposes
of such grant, this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under the
UCC.

      In consideration for the purchase of any Replacement Loans, the Issuer
shall, on the related Replacement Date, pay to the Seller in immediately
available funds an amount equal to the aggregate of the Loan Balance for such
Replacement Loans as of the applicable Cutoff Date (the "Purchase Price").

      SECTION 2.03. Custody of Loan Files. In connection with the sale,
transfer and assignment of Loans to the Seller from ALS pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement, the sale, transfer and


                                       4
<PAGE>

assignment to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement and the execution and
delivery of the Indenture, the Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee
simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, shall enter
into the Custodial Agreement with the Custodian, pursuant to which the Indenture
Trustee shall revocably appoint the Custodian, at the expense of the Servicer,
and the Custodian shall accept such appointment, to act as the agent of the
Indenture Trustee as Custodian of the following documents or instruments
(collectively, the "Collateral Documents"):

(a)   the fully executed original of the Equipment Note for any such Loan (which
      shall not bear any transfer or encumbrance legend or, if it shall bear
      such a legend, shall be accompanied by an unconditional release from the
      party or parties named in such legend);

(b)   the original, fully executed Guaranty executed in respect of such Loan
      (unless the Loan Schedule certifies that such document does not exist with
      respect to the applicable Loan);

(c)   the original, fully executed security agreement executed for such Loan;

(d)   the original file-stamped UCC-1 financing statement with recording
      information indicated thereon for such Loan filed by the Originator
      against the Obligor with respect to the related Equipment (unless, solely
      with respect to the Initial Loans, the Loan Schedule certifies that such
      document does not exist with respect to the applicable Loan and is not
      required to be delivered to the Custodian pursuant to this Agreement) or a
      copy thereof and related certificates (as provided in the second paragraph
      below);

(e)   the Delivery and Acceptance Receipt for such Loan (unless the Loan
      Schedule certifies that such document does not exist with respect to the
      applicable Loan) or a copy thereof and related certification (as provided
      in the second paragraph below); and

(f)   the assignment of lease, landlord waiver, mortgagee waiver or deed, in
      each case, with respect to the real property on which the related
      Equipment is located (unless the Loan Schedule certifies that such
      document does not exist with respect to the applicable Loan and is not
      required to be delivered to the Custodian pursuant to this Agreement).

      The Seller shall or shall cause the Servicer to deliver to the Custodian
all of the Collateral Documents (but shall retain copies thereof) relating to at
least half of the Aggregate Initial Loan Balance of the Initial Loans no later
than 30 days after the Closing Date and will deliver to the Custodian all of the
Collateral Documents (but shall retain copies thereof) with respect to all of
the Initial Loans no later than 60 days after the Closing Date. With respect to
any Replacement or Substitute Loan, the Seller shall or shall cause the Servicer
to deliver all of the Collateral Documents (but shall retain copies thereof)
relating to such Loans to the Custodian no later than the applicable Replacement
Date or Substitution Date. The Custodian shall in accordance with the Custodial
Agreement review and certify as complete pursuant to a Custodian Receipt
Certification all Collateral Documents required to be delivered to the Custodian
with respect to each Loan. Any Loans as to which such Collateral Documents have
not been certified as complete or without Exception (as defined in the Custodial
Agreement) by the Custodian (a copy of such notice will be provided to the
Insurer and the Indenture Trustee) within three days after the required deposit
date or, with respect to the Initial Loans, within 60


                                       5
<PAGE>

days after the Closing Date, shall be deemed Warranty Loans as of such date and
will be repurchased by the Originator pursuant to Section 2.06. The Servicer
shall maintain in its possession all other documents comprising the Loan Files
other than the Collateral Documents. The Servicer (i) except as otherwise
provided herein with respect to the transfer of servicing duties hereunder,
shall maintain the portion of the Loan Files in its possession in a manner
consistent with the Servicing Standards and will not dispose of any documents
constituting the Loan Files, (ii) except as otherwise provided herein with
respect to the transfer of servicing duties hereunder, will not permit any
person other than the Indenture Trustee to maintain any adverse claim upon any
Loan File, and (iii) except as otherwise provided herein with respect to the
transfer of servicing duties, will not permit any person other than the
Indenture Trustee or the Custodian (or any sub-servicer or other agent permitted
hereunder) to maintain possession of any Loan File so long as the related Loan
shall remain part of the Trust Estate.

      With respect to any documents described in parts (d) or (f) above which
have been delivered or are being delivered to recording offices for recording
and have not been returned to the Seller or Servicer in time to permit their
delivery hereunder at the time required, in lieu of delivering such original
documents, the Seller or Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian a true copy
thereof with a certification (a copy of which certification shall be delivered
to the Insurer) executed by an authorized representative of the Seller or
Servicer certifying that such copy is a true, correct and complete copy of the
original, which has been transmitted for recordation. The Seller or Servicer
shall deliver such original documents to the Custodian promptly when they are
received.

      Upon termination of the Servicer as Servicer, the terminated Servicer
shall promptly deliver to the Indenture Trustee any Loan Files, or portion
thereof, as applicable, and any copies of the Collateral Documents that may be
in the possession of such Servicer and that may have been delivered to such
Servicer pursuant to this Section 2.03. From time to time, solely to the extent
the same is required to implement the foreclosure, purchase, payoff,
substitution or servicing of the Loans by the Servicer or any related
collateral, the Servicer may request release by the Custodian of any portion of
a Loan File in accordance with the terms of the Custodial Agreement. A copy of
any such request shall be sent concurrently to the Insurer. In the event that an
Event of Default, Default, Early Payment Event or Servicer Default has occurred
and is continuing, the consent of the Insurer if the Insurer is the Controlling
Party shall be required in order for the Servicer to make any such request. The
Servicer shall promptly return to the Custodian each and every document
previously requested from the Loan File when the Servicer's need therefor no
longer exists, unless the Loan has been liquidated, paid off, is a Warranty
Loan, an Administrative Loan or is a Loan with respect to which a Substitute
Loan has been substituted in its place, in which case, the Servicer shall
provide a certification to this effect to the Custodian, which may be included
in the request for release, a copy of which shall be sent concurrently to the
Insurer.

      If the Insurer is the Controlling Party, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth herein, in no event shall the Servicer be entitled to request
any Collateral Documents held by the Custodian if the Collateral Documents other
than for Loans which have been repurchased, paid off, substituted or liquidated
in accordance with the Servicing Standards then held by the Servicer (including
the Collateral Documents to be requested), exceeds 10% of the then Aggregate
Loan Balance of the Loans for the first 48 months from the Closing Date, or 15%


                                       6
<PAGE>

of the then Aggregate Loan Balance of the Loans thereafter unless the Servicer
has obtained the prior written consent of the Insurer. The Servicer may hold and
hereby acknowledges that it shall hold any Loan Files and all other Trust Estate
property that it may from time to time receive hereunder as custodian for the
Indenture Trustee solely at the will of the Custodian and the Indenture Trustee
for the sole purpose of facilitating the servicing of the Loans and such
retention and possession shall be in a custodial capacity only. To the extent
the Servicer, as agent of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, holds any Loan
File or other Trust Estate property, the Servicer shall do so in accordance with
the Servicing Standards as such standard applies to servicers acting as
custodial agent. The Servicer shall promptly report to the Custodian and the
Indenture Trustee the loss by it of all or part of any Loan File previously
provided to it by the Custodian and shall promptly take appropriate action to
remedy any such loss. In such custodial capacity, the Servicer shall have and
perform the following powers and duties:

(a)   hold the Loans and Loan Files that it may from time to time receive
      hereunder from the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Indenture
      Trustee, maintain accurate records pertaining to each Loan to enable it to
      comply with the terms and conditions of the Indenture and this Agreement,
      and maintain a current inventory thereof;

(a)   implement policies and procedures consistent with the Servicing Standards
      and requirements of the Custodial Agreement so that the integrity and
      physical possession of such Loan Files will be maintained; and

(c)   take all other actions, in accordance with the Servicing Standards, in
      connection with maintaining custody of such Loan Files on behalf of the
      Indenture Trustee.

Acting as custodian of such Loan Files pursuant to this Section, the Servicer
agrees that it does not and will not have or assert any beneficial ownership
interest in the Loans or the Loan Files.

      The Servicer agrees to maintain the Loan Files in its possession,
including any Collateral Documents that it may from time to time receive from
the Custodian, at its office located in Ripon, Wisconsin or at such other
offices of the Servicer as shall from time to time be identified by prior
written notice to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Servicer may temporarily move individual Loan Files or any
portion of an individual Loan File without notice as necessary to conduct the
collection and other servicing activities originally set forth in the request
for release in accordance with the Servicing Standards; provided, that the
Servicer shall not move any such Loan Files for more than 30 days without
obtaining the written consent of the Indenture Trustee and, so long as the
Insurer is the Controlling Party, the Insurer.

      SECTION 2.04. Acceptance and Acknowledgment by Issuer. The Issuer does
hereby accept all consideration conveyed by the Seller pursuant to Section 2.01,
and declares that the Issuer shall hold such consideration upon the trust set
forth in the Trust Agreement for the benefit of Certificateholders, subject to
the terms and conditions of the Trust Agreement, Indenture and this Agreement.
The Issuer hereby agrees and accepts the appointment and authorization of ALS as
Servicer under Section 3.01 of this Agreement.


                                       7
<PAGE>

      Transfer of Conveyed Assets. Each of the Seller, ALS as the Originator and
the Servicer understands that the Issuer intends to pledge the Trust Estate to
the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Beneficiaries and the
Certificateholders pursuant to the Indenture. Each of the Seller, ALS as the
Originator and the Servicer agrees that, upon an Event of Default, the Indenture
Trustee may exercise the rights of the Issuer hereunder and shall be entitled to
all of the benefits to which the Issuer is entitled to hereunder to the extent
provided for in the Indenture.

      SECTION 2.05. Representations and Warranties as to the Loans. Pursuant to
Section 2.01(f) and 2.02(f), the Seller assigns to the Issuer all of its right,
title and interest in, to and under the Purchase Agreement. Such assigned right,
title and interest includes the representations and warranties of ALS made to
the Seller pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Purchase Agreement. Each of the
Originator and the Seller hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the
Issuer that it has taken no action and will take no action which would cause
such representations, warranties and covenants to be false in any material
respect as of the Closing Date, Substitution Date or Replacement Date, as
applicable. Each of the Originator and the Seller further acknowledges that the
Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Controlling Party rely on, and for their
benefit, the Seller hereby reaffirms the representations, warranties and
covenants of the Seller under this Agreement and the Originator hereby reaffirms
the representations, warranties and covenants of ALS under the Purchase
Agreement in accepting the Loans in trust and executing and delivering the
Securities. The foregoing representations and warranties speak as of the Closing
Date, Substitution Date or Replacement Date but shall survive the sale, transfer
and assignment of the Loans to the Issuer and the pledge thereof to the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.

      SECTION 2.05. Repurchase of Loans Upon Breach of Warranty. Upon discovery
by the Seller, the Insurer, the Servicer or either Trustee of a breach of any of
the representations and warranties in (x) Section 3.01 of the Purchase Agreement
(irrespective of any limitation set forth in the Purchase Agreement regarding
knowledge of the Originator) or in Sections 2.05, 6.01(b)(i), (ii) or
6.01(b)(iii) of this Agreement; or (y) Section 6.01(a), (b) or (c) (other than
Section 6.01(b)(i), (ii) or (iii)) of this Agreement that materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Beneficiaries in or collectability of any
Loan; the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice thereof
to the others. As of the second Accounting Date following its discovery or its
receipt of notice of breach (or, at the Seller's or Originator's election, as
the case may be, the first Accounting Date following such discovery), unless
such breach shall have been cured in all material respects or the Seller shall
have replaced the affected Loan with a Substitute Loan in accordance with
Section 2.07, the Seller in the event of a breach of the representations and
warranties made by the Seller and not by the Originator or the Originator, in
the event of a breach of representation and warranty of the Originator and not
the Seller, shall repurchase such Loan from the Issuer on the related
Distribution Date. The Owner Trustee shall have no affirmative duty to conduct
any investigation as to the occurrence of any event requiring the repurchase of
any Loan pursuant to this Section 2.06.

      The repurchase price to be paid by any Warranty Purchaser shall be an
amount equal to the Warranty Payment. It is understood and agreed that the
obligation of the Warranty Purchaser to repurchase any Loan as to which a breach
has occurred and is continuing shall, if such repurchase obligations are
fulfilled, constitute the sole remedy against the Seller, the Servicer or ALS
for such breach available to any Interested Party. The Servicer acknowledges its
obligations to repurchase Administrative Loans from the Issuer pursuant to
Section 3.08


                                       8
<PAGE>

hereof and ALS, in its capacity as the seller under the Purchase Agreement,
acknowledges its obligations to repurchase Warranty Loans pursuant to Section
5.04 of the Purchase Agreement and Section 2.06 hereof.

      SECTION 2.06. Substitution of Loans.

      Provided no Early Payout Event or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, on or prior to the tenth day of the month (each a " Substitution
Date"), the Seller shall, if and to the extent it has Eligible Loans, pursuant
to an assignment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-3 each, a
"Substitution Assignment") substitute such loans (each a " Substitute Loan") for
any Loan that became subject to a Warranty Event during the prior Monthly
Period, together with all right, title and interest of the Seller in, to and
under:

(a)   all documents and instruments evidencing or governing the Substitute Loans
      and all Loan Files relating thereto, identified in the schedule to the
      Substitution Assignment and all monies paid or payable thereon (including
      Liquidation Proceeds) on or after or due and payable, but in each case not
      paid, as of the Substitution Cutoff Date;

(b)   the Equipment, including, without limitation, all security interests
      therein, granted by Obligors pursuant to such Substitute Loans and any
      other collateral securing such Substitute Loans;

(c)   any Insurance Policies, and proceeds thereof, and rights and benefits
      thereunder, with respect to such Equipment and any other collateral
      securing such Substitute Loans;

(d)   with respect to such Substitute Loans, any Guaranties, and proceeds
      thereof, and all rights and benefits thereunder;

(e)   all funds on deposit from time to time in the Lockbox or in the Lockbox
      Account with respect to such Substitute Loans and all proceeds thereof;

(f)   the Subsequent PA Assignment pursuant to Section 2.01(b) of the Purchase
      Agreement with respect to such Loans, and the other Basic Documents (other
      than the Trust Agreement, the Trust Certificate, the Certificates and the
      documents and certificates executed in connection with the foregoing),
      including the right of the Seller to cause ALS to perform its obligations
      thereunder (including the obligation to repurchase such Loans under
      certain circumstances); and

(g)   any proceeds of the property described in clauses (i) through (vi) above.

      The aggregate Loan Balance as of the Substitution Cutoff Date of the loans
substituted into a Pool on any Substitution Date shall not be less than the
aggregate Loan Balance or more than 110% of the aggregate Loan Balance of the
Loans removed from that Pool as of the Substitution Cutoff Date, and no
Substitute Loan shall previously have been substituted or put as a Replacement
Loan into either Pool.


                                       9
<PAGE>

      Each Substitute Loan shall be an Eligible Loan as of the close of business
on the last day of the month preceding the Substitution Date (the " Substitution
Cutoff Date") and no Substitute Loan shall have previously been a Substitute
Loan or a Replacement Loan. Only loans with a fixed interest rate may be
substituted into Pool 1 and only loans with a floating interest rate may be
substituted into Pool 2. Loans may not be substituted for Warranty Loans if and
to the extent (i) on a cumulative basis for both Pools from the Closing Date,
the sum of the aggregate Loan Balance (as of the related Substitution Cutoff
Date) of all Substitute Loans (including Loans to be substituted on such date)
exceeds 10% of the Aggregate Initial Loan Balance, (ii) on a cumulative basis
for both Pools since the Closing Date, the sum of (A) the aggregate Loan Balance
(as of the related Substitution Cutoff Date) of all Substitute Loans (including
Loans to be substituted on such date) and (B) the aggregate Loan Balance of all
Replacement Loans added to the Trust on or prior to such date exceeds 25% of the
Aggregate Initial Loan Balance or (iii) after giving effect to the addition of
both the Substitute Loans and the Replacement Loans to be added on such date,
the Pool Criteria would not be satisfied.

      Upon the replacement of a Loan and collateral as described above, the
interest of the Trustees and the Securityholders in such replaced Loan and
collateral shall be terminated and such replaced Loan and collateral shall be
released to the Seller.

      Any substitution or replacement of a Loan pursuant to this Agreement shall
be effected by (i) delivery to the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee
of the Collateral Documents for each such Substitute Loan or Replacement Loan on
or prior to such conveyance in accordance with Section 2.03, (ii) filing of any
UCC financing statements necessary to perfect the interest of the Indenture
Trustee in the Substitute Loans or Replacement Loans, (iii) delivery to the
Indenture Trustee of a list of Replacement Loans and Substitute Loans reflecting
such replacement or substitution, and (iv) execution of and delivery of the
related Assignments.

                                  ARTICLE III
                     ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF LOANS

      SECTION 3.01. Duties of the Servicer. ALS is hereby appointed as the
initial Servicer. The Servicer is hereby appointed and authorized to act as
agent for the Owner of the Loans and in such capacity shall manage, service,
administer and make Collections on the Loans with reasonable care, using no less
than that degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect
to comparable stand-alone commercial laundry equipment loans that it services
for itself or others and consistent with the Credit and Collection Policy
(collectively, the "Servicing Standards"). ALS hereby accepts such appointment
and authorization and agrees to perform the duties of Servicer with respect to
the Loans set forth herein. The Servicer's duties shall include, but not be
limited to, collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of
Obligors on the Loans, investigating delinquencies, sending payment statements
to Obligors, reporting tax information to Obligors (which currently consists of
IRS Form 1098), monitoring the collateral in accordance with the Servicing
Standards, accounting for Collections and furnishing monthly and annual
statements to the Owner of any Loans with respect to distributions, maintaining
the first priority perfected security interest of the Indenture Trustee in the
Trust Estate (other than Exempt Collateral) for the benefit of the Beneficiaries
and filing any financing and continuation statements required to be filed
pursuant to the UCC, which continuation statements shall be filed on or before
the 60th day prior to the expiration date of such financing statement; and
promptly delivering evidence of all such filings to the Indenture Trustee and
the Insurer which evidence shall be satisfactory in form and substance to the
Insurer with evidence of the filing of continuation statements being delivered
on or before the 30th day before the expiration of such financing statements,
and performing the other duties specified herein. Subject to the provisions of
Section 3.02, the Servicer shall follow the Servicing Standards and shall have
full power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection
with such managing, servicing, administration and collection that it may deem
necessary or desirable.

      Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer is hereby
authorized and empowered by the Owner of the Loans, pursuant to this Section
3.01 to execute and deliver, on behalf of all Interested Parties, or any of
them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or
full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to
the Loans and the related collateral but solely to the extent such release or
discharge is expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of the Basic Documents.
The Servicer is hereby authorized to commence in the name of the Owner of such
Loan or, to the extent necessary, in its own name, a legal proceeding to enforce
a Defaulted Loan as contemplated by Section 3.04, to enforce all obligations of
ALS and ALER, in its capacity as the Seller or otherwise, under each of the
Purchase Agreement and the Transfer and Servicing Agreements or to commence or
participate in a legal proceeding (including a bankruptcy proceeding) relating
to or involving a Loan or a Defaulted Loan. If the Servicer commences or
participates in such a legal proceeding in its own name (which any successor
Servicer shall not be permitted to do, it being understood that in no event will
any successor Servicer take any action hereunder in its own name, including,
without limitation, setting up accounts or directing Obligors to make payments
to it or in its name), the Owner of such Loan shall thereupon be deemed to have
automatically assigned such Loan to the Servicer solely for purposes of
commencing or participating in any such proceeding as a party or claimant, the
Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Owner of a Loan to execute
and deliver in the Servicer's name any


                                       11
<PAGE>

notices, demands, claims, complaints, responses, affidavits, all instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge or
other documents or instruments in connection with any such proceeding. Any Owner
of Loans, upon the written request of the initial Servicer, shall furnish the
Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents and take any other
steps which the Servicer may deem necessary or appropriate to enable the
Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this
Agreement and the other Transfer and Servicing Agreements. Except to the extent
required by the preceding two sentences, the authority and rights granted to the
Servicer in this Section 3.01 shall be nonexclusive and shall not be construed
to be in derogation of the retention by the Owner of a Loan of equivalent
authority and rights. If in any proceeding it is held that the Servicer may not
enforce a Loan on the grounds that it is not a real party in interest or a
holder entitled to enforce the Loan, the applicable Trustee shall, at the
Servicer's specific written direction and expense, take such steps as shall be
reasonably required to enforce the Loan, including bringing suit in the name of
such Person or the names of the Securityholders.

      SECTION 3.02. Collection of Loan Payments. The Servicer shall make
reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and
provisions of the Loans as and when the same shall become due, and shall follow
the Servicing Standards. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Servicer shall release the
Equipment or other collateral securing a Loan from the lien of the Indenture
unless the outstanding Loan Balance, if any, of such Loan has been deposited
into the Collection Account, except upon substitution of Substitute Loans,
substitution of equivalent Equipment or other collateral (which substitution
shall not reduce the Obligor's payment obligations under such Loan), or the
foreclosure and sale of collateral or final settlement or compromise of a
Defaulted Loan in which case the proceeds of such foreclosure, sale, or final
settlement or compromise shall be deposited into the Collection Account as
required under the Basic Documents. Subject to the limitations in subsection
3.07(c), the Servicer is hereby authorized to grant extensions, rebates or
adjustments on a Loan without the prior consent of the Owner of such Loan or the
Controlling Party and to consent to the assignment or assumption, including the
release of the existing Obligor in connection therewith, without the prior
consent of the Owner of such Loan provided that (x) after giving effect to such
extension, rebate or adjustment the Pool Criteria would be satisfied if the
affected Loan were treated as a Substitute Loan or Replacement Loan and (y) with
respect to any such assignment or assumption other than of a Defaulted Loan,
after giving effect to such assignment or assumption, the new Obligor would
satisfy all Eligibility Criteria and Pool Criteria applicable to Obligors;
provided, further, that subject to preceding clauses (x) and (y) and Section
3.07(c), any successor Servicer (other than an affiliate of ALS) shall be
authorized to grant extensions, rebates or adjustments without the consent of
the Controlling Party only to the extent it determines that such action is
reasonably likely to prevent a payment event of default by the Obligor. The
Servicer is authorized in its discretion to waive any prepayment charge, late
payment charge or any other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of
servicing such Loan; provided, however, that once the Servicer waives such fees,
they cannot be collected from the Designated Accounts, the Lockbox Account or
any other source. To the extent provided for in any Loan, the Servicer shall
make reasonable efforts to collect all payments with respect to amounts due for
maintenance, taxes or assessments on the Equipment or the Loans and shall remit
such amounts to the appropriate maintenance provider or Governmental Authority
on or prior to the date such payments are due.


                                       12

      SECTION 3.03. Prepayments. The Servicer may accept Prepayment in part or
in full; provided, that in the event of Full Prepayment, the Servicer may
consent to such Full Prepayment only if the amount thereof deposited into the
Collection Account is not less than the balance of and all accrued and unpaid
interest and fees on such Loan and all other amounts due and payable in
connection therewith, and provided further, that in the event of a Prepayment in
part, the outstanding Loan Balance of such Loan is not reduced by more than the
amount of such Prepayment allocable to principal pursuant to Section 3.11.

      SECTION 3.04. Realization Upon Defaulted Loans. The Servicer shall use
reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standards, to repossess,
remarket or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of each item of Equipment
and other collateral that it has reasonably determined should be repossessed or
otherwise converted following a default under the Loan secured by each such item
of Equipment and other collateral. The Servicer is authorized to follow such
practices, policies and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable and
as shall be in accordance with the Servicing Standards to realize upon or obtain
benefits of any proceeds from any Insurance Policies and proceeds from any
Guaranties, in each case with respect to the Loans, selling the related
Equipment and other collateral at public or private sale or sales and other
actions by the Servicer in order to realize upon such a Loan. The foregoing is
subject to the provision that, in any case in which the Equipment shall have
suffered damage, the Servicer shall not expend funds in connection with any
repair or towards the repossession of such Equipment unless it shall determine
in its discretion consistent with the Servicing Standards that such repair
and/or repossession shall likely increase the proceeds of liquidation of the
related Loan by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses. The Servicer
shall be entitled to receive Liquidation Expenses with respect to each Defaulted
Loan out of amounts that would otherwise comprise Liquidation Proceeds with
respect to the related Loan. The Servicer shall enforce any of the foregoing
rights and remedies described in this Section 3.04 with respect to any Defaulted
Loans that are cross collateralized by other loan obligations, in the manner and
priority specified in Section 5.10 of the Purchase Agreement. To the extent that
an escrow account has been established by or on behalf of an Obligor to cover
defaults on contracts between such Obligor and the Originator, amounts in such
escrow account shall be applied against defaults under each such contract in the
order that such defaults occur with respect to any such contract unless
otherwise required by law, regulation or judicial order. The Servicer shall not
accelerate any Scheduled Payment unless permitted to do so by the terms of the
Loan or under applicable law; and provided, that the Servicer shall not declare
an Obligor to be in default under a Loan nor exercise any other remedies under
such Loan based solely on a default by such Obligor under any other obligation
of such Obligor to ALS or its Affiliates, if such Obligor is not also in default
under such Loan unless the Servicer concludes that declaring such default is in
the best interest of the Noteholders and the Insurer or will maximize potential
recoveries from such Obligor for the Issuer for the benefit of the Noteholders
and the Insurer provided further that a successor Servicer (other than an
affiliate of ALS or successor thereto pursuant to Section 7.02) shall not
declare an Obligor to be in default under a Loan nor exercise any other remedies
under such Loan based solely on such a cross default unless the successor
Servicer shall be directed to do so by the Controlling Party (any such successor
Servicer agrees to give prompt notice to the Controlling Party of any
circumstances of which it is aware which would permit such a cross default).


                                       13
<PAGE>

      SECTION 3.05. Maintenance of Insurance Policies. The Servicer shall, in
accordance with the Servicing Standards, require that each Obligor shall have
obtained physical damage insurance covering each item of Equipment as of the
execution of the related Loan, unless the Servicer has in accordance with the
Servicing Standards permitted an Obligor to self-insure the item of Equipment
securing such Loan or to maintain no insurance with respect to such item of
Equipment. The Servicer shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standards,
monitor such physical damage insurance with respect to each item of Equipment
that secures each Loan. The Servicer shall remit to the Collection Account
within two Business Days of receipt of all Insurance Proceeds received directly
by the Servicer with respect to any Loan or Equipment subject thereto,
notwithstanding any notice given pursuant to Section 3.12 hereof. Additionally,
the Servicer shall maintain a general liability policy in the amount of at least
$1,000,000 per occurrence, at least $2,000,000 in the aggregate and an excess
liability insurance policy in umbrella form in the aggregate amount of at least
$5,000,000. All premiums due and payable for the term of the period in respect
of such policies have been paid and shall continue to be paid promptly as such
premiums become due. The Indenture Trustee and the Insurer shall at all times
while the Notes are outstanding be named as an additional insured on such
casualty and liability policies maintained by the Servicer.

      SECTION 3.06. Maintenance of Security Interests in Collateral. The
Servicer shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standards and at its own
expense, take such steps as are necessary to maintain in favor of the Indenture
Trustee perfection of the first priority security interest in the Trust Estate
(other than Exempt Collateral) including, without limitation, filings required
because of revisions to the UCC; provided that the Servicer agrees that (x) the
aggregate Loan Balance of the Loans which are covered by part (c) of the
definition of Exempt Collateral shall not at any time exceed 0.25% of the
Aggregate Loan Balance and (y) with respect to the Initial Loans only, as of the
Initial Cutoff Date, the aggregate value of the collateral related to such Loans
other than the collateral covered by clause (e) of the definition of Exempt
Collateral was not less than 80% of the Aggregate Initial Loan Balance. The
Owner of each Loan hereby authorizes the Servicer to re-perfect such first
priority security interest as necessary because of the relocation of an item of
Equipment or for any other reason. The Servicer shall execute and file such
continuation statements and any other documents reasonably requested by the
Indenture Trustee or which may be required by law to fully preserve and protect
the first priority perfected security interest of the Indenture Trustee on
behalf of the Noteholders and the Insurer in and to the Trust Estate other than
Exempt Collateral. The Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
enforce the obligations of the Obligors under the applicable loan documents to
remove any Lien on the Trust Estate of which the Servicer has actual knowledge
or reason to have knowledge pursuant to the performance of its obligations as
Servicer hereunder other than the Lien created pursuant to the Indenture.

      SECTION 3.07. Covenants of the Servicer. The Servicer hereby makes the
following covenants on which the Issuer, the Insurer, the Indenture Trustee and
the Noteholders are relying in connection with the Issuer acquiring the Loans
hereunder and issuing the Securities under the Basic Documents. The Servicer
covenants that from and after the Closing Date:

(a)   Liens in Force. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the
      Servicer shall not release in whole or in part any Lien on any collateral
      securing any Loan or any Equipment or other collateral from the security
      interest securing such related Loan and shall use reasonable


                                       14
<PAGE>

      efforts not to permit any Liens to attach to the Trust Estate except those
      created under the Indenture.

(b)   No Impairment. The Servicer shall not impair the rights of the Issuer, the
      Insurer or any Interested Party in and to any Loan and shall take no
      action with respect to a Loan which at the time the Servicer reasonably
      believes would be contrary to the maximization of the ultimate repayment
      on such Loan.

      No Modifications. The Servicer shall not (i) amend or otherwise modify or
grant rebates or adjustments on any Loan such that (A) the Loan Balance or the
Annual Percentage Rate (other than for those Loans eligible for ALS's Rewards
Program) is decreased, (B) after such amendment, modification, rebate or
adjustment, the Pool Criteria would not be satisfied or (ii) grant any extension
with respect to, or amend, any Scheduled Payment to extend or delay any payments
of principal on any Loan, provided, however, that subject to the restrictions in
clause (i) above, but notwithstanding the restrictions in clause (ii) above, the
Servicer may extend or amend up to two Loans in any Monthly Period, and extend
or amend not more than 35 Loans after the Closing Date; provided that, in each
case, the final Scheduled Payment date as amended would not be later than April
30, 2008. The Servicer shall not amend or otherwise modify any Loan more than
once after its initial applicable Cutoff Date.

      Contract Management System. The Servicer will, at its own cost and
expense, (A) retain the Contract Management System, or an alternative system of
equal capability, used by the Servicer as a master record of the Loans and (B)
mark the Contract Management System to the effect that the Loans listed thereon
have been conveyed to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement and pledged by the
Issuer to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Beneficiaries and (to the
limited extent as provided therein) the Certificateholders pursuant to the
Indenture.

      The Servicer will maintain accounts and records as to each respective Loan
serviced by the Servicer that are accurate and sufficiently detailed to permit
(i) the reader thereof to know as of the most recent Determination Date the
status of such Loan, including payments and recoveries made and payments owing
(and the nature of each), and (ii) reconciliation between payments or recoveries
on (or with respect to) each Loan and the amounts from time to time deposited in
the Collection Account in respect of such Loan.

      Compliance with Law. The Servicer will comply, in all material respects,
with all acts, rules, regulations, orders, decrees and directions of any
Governmental Authority applicable to the Loans and the Equipment or any part
thereof; provided, however, that the Servicer may contest any act, regulation,
order, decree or direction in any reasonable manner that shall not materially
and adversely affect the rights of the Noteholders or the Insurer in the Trust
Estate; and provided, further, that such contests shall be in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and shall not subject the Insurer or the Indenture
Trustee to any civil or criminal liability or risk of loss of any collateral.

      Obligations with Respect to Loans. The Loans shall impose no material
obligation on the Originator or any successor or assignee. Without limiting the
foregoing, as more specifically set forth in this Agreement, in performing its
servicing duties hereunder, the Servicer shall, in accordance with the Servicing
Standards, collect all payments required to be made by the


                                       15
<PAGE>

Obligors under the Loans and enforce all material rights of the Issuer under the
Loans. The Servicer shall not assign, sell, pledge, or exchange, or in any way
encumber or otherwise dispose of the Equipment or other collateral securing the
Loans, except as expressly permitted under this Agreement and the Indenture.

      No Ownership Interest. The Servicer does not have any ownership interest
in the Trust Estate and will not assert any ownership interest in the Trust
Estate.

      Collection Policies and Procedures. So long as the Insurer is the
Controlling Party, the Servicer shall not without the prior written consent of
the Insurer amend, modify or otherwise change its Credit and Collection Policy
in any manner unless such amendment, modification or change (i) applies
generally to all contracts or loans serviced by the Servicer (and not just to
Loans in the Pools) and (ii) would not be likely to materially and adversely
affect the Loans or the ability of the Servicer to collect the Loans or the
minimum required credit quality of the Loans consistent with the underwriting
criteria of ALS in the ordinary course of business. So long as the Insurer is
the Controlling Party, the Servicer shall provide at least five (5) Business
Days' prior written notice to the Insurer of any proposed material change to the
Credit and Collection Policy.

      Financial Condition Covenants. For so long as any payments of principal or
interest remain outstanding on the Notes or any other amounts are owed to any
Beneficiary, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee under the Basic Documents, the
Servicer shall, so long as ALS, any Affiliate thereof or any successor thereto
pursuant to Section 7.02 is the Servicer, maintain the following financial
ratios (the "Financial Condition Covenants") as specified in this Section
3.07(i)(i) and (ii) below:

(a)   the Servicer shall not permit the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as at the
      last day of any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of the Servicer
      ending with any fiscal quarter set forth below to exceed the ratio set
      forth below opposite such fiscal quarter:

                                                     Consolidated

      SECTION 3.08. Purchase of Loans Upon Breach of Covenant. Upon discovery
by any of the Insurer, the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer or any party under
the Transfer and Servicing Agreements of a breach of any of the covenants set
forth in Sections 3.06 and 3.07(a), (b) or (c), the party discovering such
breach shall give prompt written notice thereof to the others. As of the second
Accounting Date following its discovery or receipt of notice of such breach (or,
at the Servicer's election, the first Accounting Date so following), the
Servicer shall, unless it shall have cured such breach in all material respects,
purchase from the Owner thereof any Loan affected by such breach and, prior to
the related Determination Date, the Servicer shall deposit the Administrative
Purchase Payment in the Collection Account. It is understood and agreed that the
obligation of the Servicer to purchase any Loan with respect to which such a
breach has occurred and is continuing shall, if such obligation is fulfilled,
constitute the sole remedy against the Servicer for such breach available to the
Seller or any Interested Party for all repurchases of Loans comprising not more
than 3% of the Aggregate Initial Loan Balance on a cumulative basis. Should the
Servicer's repurchases exceed the 3% threshold described in the foregoing
sentence with respect to the breach of any Loan which has occurred and is
continuing, then the Seller, the Controlling Party or any Interested Party shall
be entitled to exercise any rights to which they are entitled pursuant to
Section 8.02. Each of the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall have no
affirmative duty to conduct any investigation as to the occurrence of any event
requiring the repurchase of any Loan pursuant to this Section 3.08.

      SECTION 3.09. Total and Supplemental Servicing Fees; Payment of Certain
Expenses by Servicer. The Servicer is entitled to receive the Total Servicing
Fee and Supplemental Servicing Fees out of Collections (to the extent not waived
by the Servicer) in respect of the Loans as provided in Section 8.2 of the
Indenture. Subject to any limitations on the Servicer's liability hereunder or
as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Servicer shall be required to pay
from its own funds all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities
under this Agreement (including fees and disbursements of the Issuer, any
trustees and independent accountants, taxes imposed on the Servicer, expenses
incurred in connection with distributions and reports to the Beneficiaries and
the Certificateholders the fees of the Back-up Servicer, the Custodian and the
Lockbox Bank, and all other fees and expenses not expressly stated under this
Agreement to be for the account of the Beneficiaries and the Certificateholders,
but excluding federal, state and local income and franchise taxes, if any, of
the Issuer, the Beneficiaries and the Certificateholders).

      SECTION 3.10. Servicer's Certificate. Not later than 11:00 a.m. (New
York City time) on each Determination Date, the Servicer shall deliver to each
Trustee, the Insurer and the Rating Agencies a Servicer's Certificate with
respect to the immediately preceding Monthly Period executed by the President or
any of the Vice President/Controller, the Vice President/Chief Financial Officer
or the Treasurer of the initial Servicer or by an appropriate officer of any
successor Servicer (or, if such Servicer's Certificate is delivered
electronically, such Servicer's Certificate shall be deemed for all purposes to
have be certified by the Chief Financial Officer or similar officer), containing
all information necessary to each such party for making the calculations,
withdrawals, deposits, transfers and distributions required by Section 4.06 of
this Agreement and Section 8.2 of the Indenture, and all information required to
be provided to Certificateholders, the Insurer and Noteholders under subsection
4.09(a). Loans to be purchased by the Servicer under Section 3.08 hereof or
repurchased by the Seller or Originator under Section 2.06 hereunder or by ALS
under Section 5.04 of the Purchase Agreement as of the


                                       18
<PAGE>

last day of any Monthly Period shall be identified by Loan number (as set forth
in the Schedule of Loans). With respect to any Loans for which the Seller, the
Originator or ALS becomes the Owner, the Servicer shall deliver to the Seller,
the Originator or ALS such accountings relating to such Loans and the actions of
the Servicer with respect thereto as the Seller, the Originator or ALS may
reasonably request and at the expense of the requesting party.

      SECTION 3.11. Application of Collections. For the purposes of this
Agreement, as of each Accounting Date, all payments by or on behalf of the
Obligor received during a Monthly Period with respect to a Loan shall be applied
by the Servicer (i) first to any unpaid Scheduled Payment for any prior Monthly
Period with respect to such Loan, (ii) second, to the Scheduled Payment for such
Monthly Period with respect to such Loan, (iii) third, to the payment of any
late fees, rewrite charges, and other Supplemental Servicing Fees with respect
to such Loan and (iv) fourth, the remainder shall constitute, with respect to
such Loan, a Prepayment of principal of the Loan.

      SECTION 3.12. Lockbox Account.

      Prior to the date on which any Loan is transferred to the Trust, the
Servicer shall require each of the Obligors under such Loan to make all payments
under such Loan or otherwise in connection with the Trust Estate, including any
and all payments of late fees, directly to the Lockbox in the name of the
Indenture Trustee. In the event that any Servicer resigns or is replaced, then
if the place for payment pursuant to any Loan is changed, the successor Servicer
shall give each related Obligor prompt written notice of its appointment and the
address, if not the Lockbox, to which such Obligor should make payments to each
such Loan.

      The Servicer shall no later than 15 days after the Closing Date direct
each obligor which is not an Obligor, to make all payments to an address other
than the Lockbox. The Servicer is hereby expressly authorized and empowered by
the Owner of the Loans, without the need of prior consent or authorization, to
withdraw immediately from the Collection Account any payment received and
deposited into the Collection Account which is not a payment with respect to the
Loans or the Trust Estate. The Servicer shall certify in writing to the
Indenture Trustee that such withdrawal is pursuant to this Section 3.12(b). The
Servicer and the Indenture Trustee shall direct the Lockbox Bank to transfer all
available amounts in the Lockbox Account by wire transfer into the Collection
Account no later than the second Business Day following the date of receipt
thereof. The Servicer Certificate shall specify the amounts transferred into the
Collection Account with respect to the immediately preceding Monthly Period. The
Servicer shall deposit into the Lockbox Account all Collections received by it
relating to the period after the applicable Cutoff Date within two Business Days
of such receipt.

      The parties hereto agree that, in the event (i) ALS, an affiliate of ALS
or a successor to ALS pursuant to Section 7.02 is no longer the Servicer or (ii)
any Rating Agency has indicated that maintenance of the Lockbox or the Lockbox
Account with the then current Lockbox Bank could result in a downgrading of the
Notes, at the request of the Controlling Party, the Servicer shall designate a
new Lockbox Bank acceptable to the Controlling Party and shall promptly
thereafter (A) establish a new Lockbox and Lockbox Account in the name and under
the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee with such new Lockbox
Bank, (B) instruct all Obligors to make payments under the Loans or otherwise in
connection with the Trust Estate


                                       19
<PAGE>

directly to such new Lockbox, and (iii) enter into a Lockbox Agreement with such
new Lockbox Bank satisfactory to the Controlling Party. In such event, the
Indenture Trustee shall promptly send a termination notice to the existing
Lockbox Bank to terminate the Lockbox Agreement with the existing Lockbox Bank
following receipt of an instruction to such effect from the Controlling Party.

      SECTION 3.13. Power of Attorney. The Servicer (other than a successor
Servicer) and the Originator each irrevocably constitute and appoint the
Indenture Trustee, with full power of substitution, as their true and lawful
attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and
stead of the Servicer or the Originator, as applicable, and in the name of the
Servicer or the Originator, as applicable, or in its own name, for purposes of

2001, an officer's certificate signed by an Executive Officer of the initial
Servicer (or by an appropriate officer of any successor Servicer), dated as of
the immediately preceding December 31, stating that (i) a review of the
activities of the Servicer during the preceding 12-month period (or, with
respect to the first such certificate, such period as shall have elapsed from
the Closing Date to December 31, 2000) and of its performance under this
Agreement has been made under such officer's supervision and (ii) to the best of
such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled its
obligations under this Agreement in all material respects throughout such
period, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such
obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature
and status thereof. A copy of such certificate may be obtained by any Noteholder
or any Certificateholder by a request in writing to the Issuer addressed to the
Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee,
respectively.

      The Servicer shall deliver to each Trustee, the Insurer and to the Rating

knowledge thereof, but in no event later than (2) two Business Days thereafter,
written notice in an officer's certificate signed by an Executive Officer of the
Servicer of any Servicer Default or event which with the giving of notice or
lapse of time, or both, would become a Servicer Default under Section 8.01. Such
notice shall describe the nature and period of existence of such event and the
action, if any, the Servicer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

      SECTION 4.02. Annual Independent Accountants' Report.

      The Servicer shall, at its own expense, cause a firm of independent
accountants, who may also render other services to the Servicer or the Seller,
to deliver to each Trustee, the Insurer and the Rating Agencies (with a copy to
the Initial Purchaser), on or before April 15 of each year, beginning April 15,
2001 with respect to the twelve months ended on the immediately preceding

have elapsed from the Closing Date to December 31, 2000), a report (the
"Accountants' Report") addressed to the board of directors of the Servicer and
to each Trustee and the Insurer, to the effect that such firm has audited the
financial statements of the initial Servicer and issued its report thereon and
that such audit (A) was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards and the requirements of the Ambac Insurance Agreement, (B) included
tests relating to Equipment Notes serviced for others in accordance with the

the report, disclosed no exceptions or errors in the records relating to
equipment notes serviced for others that, in the firm's opinion, paragraph four
of the Program requires such firm to report.


                                       21
<PAGE>

      The Accountants' Report shall also indicate that the firm is independent
of the Seller and the Servicer within the meaning of the Code of Professional
Ethics of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

      A copy of the Accountants' Report may be obtained by any Noteholder or any
Certificateholder by a request in writing to the Issuer addressed to the
Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee,
respectively.

      For so long as ALS is the Servicer, the Servicer shall also deliver to the
Insurer (i) within 95 days of the Servicer's fiscal year end the Servicer's
annual Form 10-K report for such year and (ii) within 50 days after the end of
each of the Servicer fiscal quarters (other than its fiscal year end) the
Servicer's Form 10-Q report for such quarter or if the Servicer is no longer a
reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, a report containing
all the information required to be contained in a Form 10-K or 10-Q report, as
applicable, if it were such a reporting company. In the event that ALS is not
the Servicer, if such Servicer shall not be, or not be a wholly-owned subsidiary
of, a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Servicer
shall within 95 days after the end of each of its fiscal years, and within 50
days after the end of each of its fiscal quarters (other than a fiscal year
end), deliver to the Insurer a report containing all the information required to
be contained in a Form 10-K or Form 10-Q, respectively, if it were such a
reporting company.

      SECTION 4.03. Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding
Loans.

      The Servicer shall provide to the Insurer and each Trustee and each of
their respective representatives, attorneys and accountants access (as described
below) to the documentation regarding the Loans as described below. The Servicer
shall provide such access to any Securityholder only in such cases where a
Securityholder is required by applicable statutes or regulations to review such
documentation, and then, if permitted by law, only upon receipt by it of a
confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to it and such Securityholder
restricting the Securityholders use of any proprietary information of the
Servicer made available to the Securityholder in connection with such review. In
each case, such access shall be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable
request and during normal business hours at offices of the Servicer designated
by the Servicer. The failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided in
this Section 4.03, because the Servicer reasonably believes access would violate
applicable law with respect to disclosure shall not constitute a breach of this
Section 4.03.

      At all times during the term hereof, the Servicer shall either (i) keep
available in physical form at its principal executive office for inspection by
the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer or their respective duly authorized
representatives, attorneys or accountants a list of all Loans then subject to
the lien of the Indenture, together with a reconciliation of such list to the
list of Initial Loans, all lists of Substitute Loans and Replacement Loans and
each of the Servicer's Certificates, indicating the cumulative removals and
additions of Loans subject to the lien of the Indenture or (ii) maintain
electronic facilities which allow such list and reconciliation to be generated
in a readable form which can be accessed by the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee
and each of their respective representatives, attorneys or accountants (it being
agreed that information in ASCII or Excel are acceptable forms).

      SECTION 4.04. Amendments to Loans and to Schedule of Loans. If the
Servicer, during a Monthly Period, assigns to a Loan an account number that
differs from the account number previously identifying such Loan on the Schedule
of Loans, the Servicer shall deliver to the Seller, the Back-up Servicer, the
Insurer and each Trustee on or before the Distribution Date related to such
Monthly Period an amendment to the Schedule of Loans to report the newly
assigned account number. Each such amendment shall list all new account numbers
assigned to Loans during such Monthly Period and shall show by cross reference
the prior account numbers identifying such Loans on the Schedule of Loans. The
Servicer shall amend the Schedule of Loans, as appropriate, to reflect removal
of repaid Loans, substituted Loans, Administrative Loans, Warranty Loans,
Defaulted Loans and Loans which have been liquidated in accordance with the
Servicing Standards and the addition of Replacement Loans and Substitute Loans
and shall deliver an updated Schedule of Loans to the Insurer, the Back-up
Servicer, the Seller and each Trustee on each Distribution Date.

      SECTION 4.05. Assignment of Administrative Loans and Warranty Loans. Upon
deposit into the Collection Account of the Administrative Purchase Payment or
the Warranty Payment with respect to an Administrative Loan or a Warranty Loan,
respectively, or the substitution of a Substitute Loan for a Warranty Loan and
provided that such purchase or substitution of a Loan shall otherwise have been
made in full compliance with the provisions of the Basic Documents, each Trustee
shall assign, without recourse, representation or warranty, to the Servicer or
the Warranty Purchaser, as applicable, all of such Person's right, title and
interest in, to and under (a) such Administrative Loan or Warranty Loan and all
monies due thereon, (b) the security interests in the related collateral, (c)
amounts held on deposit in the Designated Accounts or the Lockbox Account with
respect to such Loan and not applied to the Loan Balance as of the applicable
Accounting Date, if any (d) proceeds from any Insurance Policies with respect to
the collateral securing such Loan or any Guaranties of such Loan received after
the applicable Accounting Date, if any and (e) the rights of such Person under
the Purchase Agreement with respect to such Loan, such assignment being an
assignment outright and not for security. Upon the assignment of such Loan
described in the preceding sentence, the Servicer, the Warranty Purchaser or the
Seller, as applicable, shall own such Loan, and all such security and documents,
free of any further obligations to either Trustee or Beneficiaries and the
Certificateholders with respect thereto.

      SECTION 4.06. Distributions.

      On or before each Determination Date, with respect to the preceding

in or paid from each of the Collection Account, the Note Distribution Account,
the Certificate Distribution Account and the Reserve Account, as applicable, on
the next succeeding Distribution Date.

      SECTION 4.07. Reserve Account.

      The Servicer, for the benefit of the Beneficiaries and the
Certificateholders, shall establish and maintain in the name of the Indenture
Trustee and subject to the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee an
Eligible Deposit Account known as the Alliance Laundry Equipment Receivables
Trust 2000-A Reserve Account (the "Reserve Account") to include the money and
other property deposited and held therein pursuant to this Section 4.07 and
Section 8.2 of the Indenture. On the Closing Date, the Seller shall deposit the
Initial Reserve Account Deposit into the Reserve Account.

      If the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account on any Distribution Date
(after giving effect to all deposits therein or withdrawals therefrom on such
Distribution Date) exceeds the Specified Reserve Account Balance for such
Distribution Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Indenture Trustee to deposit
into the Collection Account an amount equal to any such excess which shall be
deemed Certificateholders' Distributable Amounts for distribution to the
Certificateholders in accordance with the Indenture provided, however, if the
Notes have been accelerated as a result of an Event of Default under the
Indenture or an Early Payout Event shall have occurred and be continuing, such
amounts shall be deposited into the Collection Account and shall be deemed to be
Available Amounts.

      If the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account is less than the Specified
Reserve Account Balance or if the Notes have been accelerated as a result of an
Event of Default under the Indenture or an Early Payout Event shall have
occurred and be continuing, Investment Earnings on funds in the Reserve Account,

Balance, will be retained in the Reserve Account and applied in accordance with
Section 8.2(d) of the Indenture.

      SECTION 4.08. Net Deposits. At any time that (i) ALS shall be the
Servicer and (ii) the Servicer shall be permitted by Section 5.04 to remit
Collections on a basis other than a daily basis, the Servicer, the Seller and
each Trustee may make any remittances pursuant to this Article IV net of amounts
to be distributed by the applicable recipient to such remitting party.
Nonetheless, each such party shall account for all of the above described
remittances and distributions as if the amounts were deposited and/or
transferred separately.

      SECTION 4.09. Statements to Beneficiaries and the Certificateholders.

      On each Distribution Date, the Owner Trustee shall include with each
distribution to each Certificateholder, and the Indenture Trustee shall include
with each distribution to each Noteholder, a statement (the "Monthly Report")
(which statement shall also be provided to the Insurer, the Rating Agencies and
the Initial Purchaser) based on information in the Servicer's Certificate
furnished pursuant to Section 3.10. Each such statement shall set forth the

      SECTION 5.01. Establishment of Accounts.

      The Servicer, for the benefit of the Beneficiaries and the
Certificateholders, shall establish and maintain in the name of the Indenture
Trustee and under the Indenture Trustee's sole dominion and control an Eligible
Deposit Account known as the Alliance Laundry Equipment Receivables Trust 2000-A
Collection Account (the "Collection Account"), bearing an additional designation
clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of
the Beneficiaries and the Certificateholders.

      The Servicer, for the benefit of the Noteholders, shall establish and
maintain in the name of the Indenture Trustee and under the Indenture Trustee's
sole dominion and control an Eligible Deposit Account known as the Alliance
Laundry Equipment Receivables Trust 2000-A Note Distribution Account (the "Note
Distribution Account"), bearing an additional designation clearly indicating
that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Noteholders and
the Insurer.

      Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Servicer, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, shall establish and maintain in the name of the Owner
Trustee an Eligible Deposit Account known as the Alliance Laundry Equipment
Receivables Trust 2000-A Certificate Distribution Account (the "Certificate
Distribution Account"), bearing an additional designation clearly indicating
that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the
Certificateholders.

      The Servicer, for the benefit of the Beneficiaries and the
Certificateholders, shall establish and maintain in the name of the Indenture
Trustee under the Indenture Trustee's sole dominion and control an Eligible
Deposit Account known as the Alliance Laundry Equipment Receivables Trust 2000-A
Lockbox Account (the "Lockbox Account") bearing an additional designation
clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of
the Beneficiaries and the Certificateholders.

      The Servicer shall establish and maintain the Reserve Account pursuant to
the terms of Section 4.07.

      Each of the Designated Accounts shall be initially established with the
Indenture Trustee and shall be maintained with the Indenture Trustee and shall
be under its sole dominion and control so long as (A) the short-term unsecured
debt obligations of the Indenture Trustee have the Required Deposit Rating or
(B) each of the Designated Accounts are maintained in the corporate trust
department of the Indenture Trustee. All amounts held in such accounts
(including amounts which the Servicer is required to remit daily to the
Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.04) shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable laws, rules and regulations, be invested, at the written direction of
the Servicer, by such bank or trust company in Eligible


                                       27
<PAGE>

Investments. Such written direction shall constitute certification by the
Servicer that any such investment is authorized by this Section 5.01. Funds
deposited in the Collection Account and Reserve Account shall be invested in
Eligible Investments that mature prior to the next Distribution Date except, and
then only to the extent, as shall be otherwise permitted by the Rating Agencies
and the Insurer. Investments in Eligible Investments shall be made in the name
of the Indenture Trustee or its nominee, and such investments shall not be sold
or disposed of prior to their maturity. Should the short-term unsecured debt
obligations of the Indenture Trustee (or any other bank or trust company with
which the Designated Accounts are maintained) no longer have the Required
Deposit Rating, then the Servicer shall within 10 Business Days (or such longer
period, not to exceed 30 calendar days, as to which each Rating Agency and the
Insurer shall consent), with the Indenture Trustee's assistance as necessary,
cause the Designated Accounts (A) to be moved to a bank or trust company, the
short-term unsecured debt obligations of which shall have the Required Deposit
Rating and which is otherwise acceptable to the Insurer, or (B) to be moved to
the corporate trust department of the Indenture Trustee. Subject to Section
4.07(c), Investment Earnings on funds deposited in the Designated Accounts and
the Certificateholder Distribution Account shall be deposited into the
Collection Account and shall be deemed Certificateholders' Distributable Amounts
for distribution to the Certificateholders in accordance with the Indenture;
provided, however, if the Notes have been accelerated as a result of an Event of
Default under the Indenture or an Early Payout Event shall have occurred and be
continuing, Investment Earnings on the Designated Accounts and any available
Investment Earnings on the Lockbox Account shall be deposited in the Collection
Account and shall be deemed to be Available Amounts. The Indenture Trustee or
the other Person holding the Designated Accounts as provided in this Section
5.01(b)(i) shall be the "Securities Intermediary." If the Securities
Intermediary shall be a Person other than the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer
shall obtain the express agreement of (i) the Indenture Trustee as to the
designation of such person as Securities Intermediary and (ii) such Person to
the obligations of the Securities Intermediary set forth in Section 5.01.

      With respect to the Designated Account Property, the Indenture Trustee
agrees, by its acceptance hereof, that:

(a)   The Designated Accounts are accounts to which Financial Assets will be
      credited.

(b)   All securities or other property underlying any Financial Assets credited
      to the Designated Accounts shall be registered in the name of the
      Securities Intermediary, indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in
      blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of
      the Securities Intermediary and in no case will any Financial Asset
      credited to any of the Designated Accounts be registered in the name of
      the Issuer, Owner Trustee, the Servicer or the Seller, payable to the
      order of the Issuer, the Servicer or the Seller or specially indorsed to
      the Issuer, the Servicer or the Seller except to the extent the foregoing
      have been specially indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank.

(c)   All property delivered to the Securities Intermediary pursuant to the
      Pooling and Servicing Agreement will be promptly credited to the
      appropriate Designated Account.


                                       28
<PAGE>

      Each item of property (whether investment property, Financial Asset,
security, instrument or cash) credited to a Designated Account shall be treated
as a "financial asset" within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the New York
UCC.

      If at any time the Securities Intermediary shall receive any order from
the Indenture Trustee directing transfer or redemption of any Financial Asset
relating to the Securities Accounts, the Securities Intermediary shall comply
with such entitlement order without further consent by the Issuer, the Owner
Trustee, the Servicer, the Seller or any other person.

      The Designated Accounts shall be governed by the laws of the State of New
York, regardless of any provision in any other agreement. For purposes of the
UCC, New York shall be deemed to be the Securities Intermediary's jurisdiction
and the Designated Accounts (as well as the Securities Entitlements related
thereto) shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

      The Securities Intermediary has not entered into, and until the
termination of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement with any other
person relating to the Designated Accounts and/or any Financial Assets credited
thereto pursuant to which it has agreed to comply with entitlement orders (as
defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the New York UCC) of such other person and the
Securities Intermediary has not entered into, and until the termination of this
Agreement will not enter into, any agreement with the Issuer, the Seller, the
Servicer or the Indenture Trustee purporting to limit or condition the
obligation of the Securities Intermediary to comply with entitlement orders as
set forth in Section 5.01(b)(ii)(E) hereof.

      Except for the claims and interest of the Indenture Trustee and of the
Issuer in the Designated Accounts, to the best of its knowledge without
independent investigation the Securities Intermediary knows of no claim to, or
interest in, the Designated Accounts or in any Financial Asset credited thereto.
If any other person asserts any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim (including
any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar
process) against the Designated Accounts or in any Financial Asset carried
therein, the Securities Intermediary will promptly notify the Indenture Trustee,
the Servicer and the Issuer thereof.

      The Securities Intermediary will promptly send copies of all statements,

the Insurer by the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee.

      The Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in and
to all funds on deposit from time to time in the Designated Accounts and the

Lockbox Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture
Trustee for the benefit of the Beneficiaries and the Certificateholders.

      The Servicer shall not direct the Indenture Trustee to make any investment
of any funds or to sell any investment held in any of the Designated Accounts or
the Lockbox Account unless the security interest granted and perfected in such
account shall continue to be perfected in such investment or the proceeds of
such sale, in either case without any further action by any Person, and, in
connection with any written direction to the Indenture Trustee to make any such
investment or sale, the Servicer (so long as the Servicer is ALS or an Affiliate
thereof or successor thereto under Section 7.02) shall deliver to the Indenture
Trustee and the Insurer, at the request of the Indenture Trustee or the Insurer,

calendar days, as to which each Rating Agency may consent) establish a new
Certificate Distribution Account as an Eligible Deposit Account and shall cause
the Owner Trustee to transfer any cash and/or any investments in the old
Certificate Distribution Account to such new Certificate Distribution Account.

      The Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Securities Intermediary and
each other Eligible Institution with whom a Designated Account, the Lockbox

require remittance within two Business Days by the Servicer to the Collection

            indemnified, (B) to the extent otherwise payable to the Indenture
            Trustee, arises from the Indenture Trustee's breach of any of its
            representations or warranties in Section 6.13 of the Indenture or
            (C) to the extent otherwise payable to the Owner Trustee, arises
            from the Owner Trustee's breach of any of its representations or
            warranties set forth in Section 6.6 of the Trust Agreement.

(b)   Indemnification under this Section 7.01 shall survive the resignation or
      removal of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or the termination
      of this Agreement. If the Servicer has made any indemnity payments
      pursuant to this Section 7.01 and the recipient thereafter collects any of
      such amounts from others, the recipient shall promptly repay such amounts
      collected to the Servicer, without interest.

(c)   The Servicer shall pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 7.01 hereof
      directly to the indemnified Person and such amounts will not be deposited
      in the Collection Account.

(d)   Indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.01 will include, without
      limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of
      litigation reasonably incurred.

(e)   Notwithstanding the foregoing indemnification obligations, nothing in this
      Section 7.01 shall be intended by the parties to constitute a guaranty by
      the Servicer of repayment of the Loans.

      SECTION 7.02. Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations
of, the Servicer. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
without the consent of the Insurer or any other person, (a) the Servicer may
consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets and (b) any
entity (i) into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, (ii) resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Servicer shall be a
party, (iii) succeeding to the business of the Servicer, or (iv) more than 50%
of the voting interests of which is owned directly or indirectly by ALS and
which is otherwise servicing the Seller's loans, which corporation or other
entity in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption
reasonably satisfactory to the Insurer and Indenture Trustee to perform every
obligation of the Servicer under this Agreement shall be the successor to the
Servicer under this Agreement


                                       37
<PAGE>

without the further execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the
part of any of the parties to this Agreement provided that immediately after
giving effect thereto, there shall be no Servicer Default and the successor
entity's ratings on its senior subordinate unsecured obligations are not less
than "B-" by Standard & Poor's and "B3" by Moody's Investors Service and the
successor entity satisfies the financial covenants specified in Section 3.07(i)
on a pro forma basis (except to the extent such covenants do not apply to the
Servicer pursuant to this Agreement). In the event that the requirements in the
proviso of the preceding sentence are not satisfied, if the Insurer is the
Controlling Party, such transaction shall require the Insurer's written consent,
not to be unreasonably withheld. Pursuant to this Section 7.02, the Servicer
shall provide the Insurer and the Rating Agencies at least thirty days' prior
written notice of any merger, consolidation or succession and a copy of the
agreement of assumption in respect of such merger, consolidation or succession,
the pro forma financial calculations supporting the successor entity's
compliance with the financial covenants specified in Section 3.07(i), if
applicable, and such other additional information as the Insurer shall
reasonably request. It is understood that nothing in this Section 7.02 shall be
construed to limit or otherwise impair the ability of the Seller or any
Interested Party to enforce such remedies as are available to them under the
Basic Documents.

      SECTION 7.03. Limitation on Liability of Servicer and Others.

      Neither the Servicer nor any of the directors or officers or employees or
agents of the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Issuer or the
Securityholders, except as specifically provided in this Agreement, for any
action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to the
Basic Documents or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this
provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such Person against any
liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad
faith or gross negligence (negligence, in the case of the initial Servicer) in
the performance of duties or by reason of reckless (negligent, in the case of
the initial Servicer) disregard of obligations and duties under the Basic
Documents. The Servicer and any director, officer or employee or agent of the
Servicer 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.

      [Reserved.]

      Except as provided in this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be under any
obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not
incidental to its duties to service the Loans in accordance with this Agreement
and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided,
however, that the Servicer may undertake any reasonable action that it may deem
necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of
the parties to this Agreement and the interests of the Beneficiaries and the
Certificateholders under this Agreement and the Beneficiaries and (to the extent
expressly provided therein) the Certificateholders under the Indenture and the
interests of the Certificateholders under the Trust Agreement. In such event,
the reasonable legal expenses and costs for such action and any liability
resulting therefrom that is not incidental to its duties to service the Loans in
accordance with this Agreement shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the
Issuer and the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor.


                                       38

      The Indenture Trustee shall distribute out of the Collection Account on a
Distribution Date any amounts permitted for reimbursement pursuant to subsection
7.03(c) which have not been previously reimbursed in accordance with Section 8.2
of the Indenture; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall not
distribute such amounts if the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account (after
giving effect to all deposits and withdrawals pursuant to Section 8.2 of the
Indenture) is greater than zero but less than the Specified Reserve Account
Balance for such Distribution Date.

      SECTION 7.04. Delegation of Duties. So long as ALS acts as Servicer, the
Servicer may, at any time without notice or consent, delegate any duties under
this Agreement to any other entity more than 50% of the voting stock of which is
owned, directly or indirectly, by ALS. The Servicer may at any time perform
specific duties as Servicer through sub-contractors who are in the business of
servicing stand alone commercial laundry equipment loans; provided, however,
that (i) Servicer shall not delegate to any such sub-contractor any material
portion of such servicing duties without Insurer consent if the Insurer is the
Controlling Party, and (ii) no such delegation shall relieve the Servicer of its
responsibility with respect to such duties.

      SECTION 7.05. Servicer Not to Resign. Subject to the provisions of
Section 8.02, the Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties
imposed on it by this Agreement as Servicer without the consent of the
Controlling Party, except upon determination that the performance of its duties
under this Agreement is no longer permissible under applicable law. Any such
determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by
an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to each Trustee and the Insurer
and the Rating Agencies (with a copy to the Initial Purchaser). No such
resignation shall become effective until the Indenture Trustee or a successor
Servicer acceptable to the Insurer shall have assumed the responsibilities and
obligations of the Servicer in accordance with Section 8.02.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                                     DEFAULT

      distributions therefrom, which failure continues unremedied for a period
      of three Business Days after the date when due.

(b)   failure on the part of the Seller or the Servicer to duly observe or
      perform any other covenants or agreements of the Seller or the Servicer

      rights of the Beneficiaries or the Certificateholders, and (ii) continues
      unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice
      of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given
      to the Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, by the Indenture


                                       39

      violation of this Agreement;

(g)   any material adverse change in the properties, business or condition

(h)   the first to occur of (i) an event of default by the Servicer or its
      Affiliate, as applicable, in the performance of any term, provision or

      which event of default other than a payment default is neither waived
      pursuant to an unconditional waiver nor cured within 60 days (inclusive of
      any cure period or other period of grace) as of the date upon which such
      event of default occurs or (ii) the acceleration of any such indebtedness
      as a result of an event of default, such that any indebtedness due

      within such longer period during which execution of the same shall have

(k)   the breach in any material respect by the Servicer of any representation
      or warranty made by the Servicer under this Agreement or any of the Basic
      Documents;

      & Poor's Ratings Services to ratings below B+, or (ii) the Servicer's
      senior subordinate unsecured obligations are downgraded by Moody's
      Investors Service to ratings below B3 or by Standard & Poor's Ratings
      Services to ratings below B-;

(m)   the occurrence of a Servicer Default Trigger; or

(n)   the occurrence of a Cumulative Trigger.

      SECTION 8.02. Consequences of a Servicer Default.

      If a Servicer Default shall occur and be continuing (and has not been
waived in writing by the Controlling Party), the Controlling Party by notice
then given in writing to the Servicer and the Owner Trustee (and to the
Indenture Trustee if given by the Securityholders) may, in addition to other
rights and remedies available in a court of law or equity to damages, injunctive
relief and specific performance, elect to waive such Servicer Default or direct
the Indenture Trustee to terminate all of the rights and obligations of the
Servicer as Servicer under this Agreement (provided that a termination shall
occur without notice upon a Servicer Default under Section 8.01(c) or (d)). On
or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and
power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the
Securities or the Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the
Indenture Trustee and any successor Servicer pursuant to and under Section 8.03.
The Indenture Trustee and any successor Servicer is hereby authorized and
empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact
or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or
accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the
purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and
endorsement of the Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The predecessor
Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Indenture Trustee and any successor
Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the
Servicer under this Agreement, including the transfer to either Trustee for
administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the
Servicer for deposit, or that shall have been deposited by the Servicer in the
Lockbox Account, the Collection Account, the Reserve Account, the Note
Distribution Account or the Certificate Distribution Account or thereafter
received with respect to the Loans that shall at that time be held by the
Servicer, and will provide the Indenture Trustee and any successor Servicer
reasonable access to the servicing systems and records with respect to the
Loans. In addition to any other amounts that are then payable to the predecessor
Servicer under this Agreement, the predecessor Servicer shall be entitled to
receive from the successor Servicer the portions of any Monthly Advance
Reimbursement Amount which relates to any Monthly Advance made by the terminated
Servicer. To assist the successor


                                       41
<PAGE>

Servicer in enforcing all rights under the Loans, the predecessor Servicer, at
its own expense, shall transfer its electronic records relating to such Loans to
the successor Servicer in such electronic form as is then-maintained by the
predecessor Servicer in the ordinary course of its business and shall transfer
the related Loan Files and all other records, correspondence and documents
relating to the Loans that it may possess to the successor Servicer in the
manner and at such times as the successor Servicer shall reasonably request.

     Following the occurrence of a Servicer Default, but without limiting the
rights of the Indenture Trustee or the Controlling Party under any other
provisions of the Basic Documents, the Controlling Party may direct the
Indenture Trustee to conduct a review of the Servicer's cash application
procedures with respect to Collections on the Loans, including, without
limitation, transfers from the Lockbox Account to the Collection Account, and
the Indenture Trustee hereby agrees to conduct such review, or cause a third
party to conduct such review, at the expense of the Servicer, on such basis as
the Controlling Party shall reasonably determine.

     SECTION 8.03. Indenture Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. On and
                   --------------------------------------------------
after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section
8.02 unless and until the Controlling Party has designated a successor Servicer,
which has accepted such appointment, the Indenture Trustee shall be the
successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this
Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for in this Agreement, and
shall be subject to all the responsibilities, restrictions, duties and
liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions
of this Agreement; provided, however, that the predecessor Servicer shall remain
liable for, and the successor Servicer shall have no liability for, any
indemnification obligations of the Servicer arising as a result of acts,
omissions or occurrences during the period in which the predecessor Servicer was
the Servicer; and provided, further, that ALS shall remain liable for all such
indemnification obligations of the Servicer without regard to whether it is
still Servicer hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Indenture Trustee or a
successor Servicer designated by the Controlling Party shall be entitled to
reimbursement of costs and expenses incurred in the transfer and conversion of
the electronic records relating to the Loans received from the predecessor
Servicer, together with such compensation (whether payable out of the Collection
Account or otherwise) as the Servicer would have been entitled to under this
Agreement if no such notice of termination had been given including, but not
limited to, the Total Servicing Fee and Supplemental Servicing Fees. In the
event the Indenture Trustee becomes the successor Servicer, it hereby reserves
the right to terminate any then-existing sub-servicing agreements as may be
entered into pursuant to Section 7.04 hereof. Notwithstanding the above, the
Indenture Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling so to act, or shall, if it is
legally unable so to act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction
to appoint, a successor (i) having a net worth of not less than $10,000,000,
(ii) acceptable to the Insurer and (iii) whose regular business includes the
servicing of equipment loans, as the successor to the Servicer under this
Agreement in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties
or liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement. In connection with such
appointment and assumption, the Indenture Trustee may make such arrangements for
the compensation of such successor out of payments on Loans as it and such
successor shall agree, subject to the consent of the Insurer if the Insurer is
the Controlling Party; provided, that if a successor Servicer is appointed and
assumes the duties of successor Servicer hereunder, the Basic Servicing Fee Rate
used to calculate the Basic Servicing Fee payable to the successor Servicer
shall be a rate agreed upon by such successor Servicer and the person or group
appointing it hereunder but not in excess of 1.0% unless the Rating Agency
Condition has been satisfied. The Indenture Trustee and such successor shall
take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to
effectuate any such succession. So long as the Insurer is the Controlling Party,
unless the Controlling Party shall otherwise consent, no removal or resignation
of the Servicer shall (other than under Section 8.02(a) with respect to a
Servicer Default under Section 8.01(c) or (d)) become effective until the
Indenture Trustee, the Back-up Servicer under Section 3.14 or another successor
Servicer acceptable to the Insurer shall have assumed the Servicer's
responsibilities and obligations in accordance with this Section 8.03.

     SECTION 8.04. Notification to the Beneficiaries and the Certificateholders.
                   ------------------------------------------------------------
  Upon any termination of, or appointment of a successor to, the Servicer
pursuant to this Article VIII, the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written
notice thereof to the Noteholders, the Insurer and the Rating Agencies (with a
copy to the Initial Purchaser), and the Owner Trustee shall give prompt written
notice thereof to the Certificateholders.

     SECTION 8.05. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Controlling Party may, on
                   -----------------------
behalf of all Beneficiaries and the Certificateholders, waive any default by the
Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences,
including a default in making any required deposits to or payments from any of
the accounts in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a past
default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Default arising

                                       42
<PAGE>

therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this
Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or
impair any right consequent thereon.

     SECTION 8.06. Effects of Termination or Resignation of Servicer.
                   -------------------------------------------------

     Upon the appointment of the successor Servicer, the predecessor Servicer
shall immediately remit any Scheduled Payments, Liquidation Proceeds or other
payments that it may receive pursuant to any Loan or otherwise to the successor
Servicer for the benefit of the Issuer after such date of appointment.

     After the termination of the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.02 or
resignation pursuant to Section 7.05 (except as otherwise provided in Section
7.05 or 8.03), the predecessor Servicer shall have no further rights or
obligations with respect to the management or servicing of the Trust Estate or
the enforcement, custody or collection of the Loans, and the successor Servicer
shall have all of such obligations, except that the predecessor Servicer will
transmit or cause to be transmitted directly to the successor Servicer for the
benefit of the Noteholders and the Insurer, promptly upon receipt and in the
same form in which received, any amounts held by the predecessor Servicer
(properly endorsed where required for the successor Servicer to collect them)
received as payments upon or otherwise in connection with the Loans. The
predecessor Servicer's indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 7.01
hereof will survive the termination or resignation of the predecessor Servicer
but will not extend to any acts or omissions of a successor Servicer.

                            TERMINATION; REDEMPTION

      SECTION 9.01. Optional Purchase of All Loans. On the last day of any
Monthly Period as of which the Aggregate Loan Balance of the Loans held by the
Trust is 10% or less of the Aggregate Initial Loan Balance, the Servicer shall
have the option, but not the obligation, to purchase the Trust Estate at a price
equal to the aggregate Administrative Purchase Payments for all Loans (including
Defaulted Loans) plus the appraised value of any other property held by the
Trust (less the Liquidation Expenses to be incurred in connection with the
recovery thereof), such value to be determined by an appraiser mutually agreed
upon by the Servicer, each Trustee and, if the Insurer is the Controlling Party,
the Insurer (the "Optional Purchase Price"); provided, however, that the
Servicer may not exercise its option if the Optional Purchase Price would be
less than the sum of (i) the Redemption Price of the Notes, (ii) all
administrative expenses, operating costs and amounts to third parties due as of
such Distribution Date and (iii) all Reimbursement Amounts due to the Insurer,
if any. In the event the Servicer elects to exercise its option, the Issuer
shall redeem the Notes in accordance with this Section 9.01 effective as of such
date of purchase. The Issuer shall be required to notify the Indenture Trustee
and the Insurer in writing by no later than five (5) Business Days prior to a
notice required to be sent by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 10.1(a)
of the Indenture. To exercise such option, the Servicer shall deposit in the
Collection Account an amount equal to the Optional Purchase Price. Thereupon
subject to the provisions in the Indenture regarding discharge of Trust Estate,
including return of the Ambac Policy, the Servicer shall succeed to all
interests in and to the property of the Trust (other than the Designated
Accounts and the Certificate Distribution Account).

      SECTION 9.02. Termination of the Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed by
the Seller, the Servicer, the Issuer and the Beneficiaries and the
Certificateholders, this Agreement shall terminate upon termination of the
Indenture and the Servicer shall give the Owner Trustee prompt notice of such
termination; provided that the Notes and all other amounts due to third parties
referred to in Section 9.01 have been paid in full, and all amounts due to the
Insurer have been paid and the Ambac Policy has been returned.

                                   ARTICLE X
                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

      SECTION 10.01. Amendment.

      This Agreement may be amended by the Seller, the Servicer and the Issuer
with the consent of the Indenture Trustee and, so long as the Insurer is the
Controlling Party, the consent of the Insurer, but without the consent of any of
the Securityholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity, (ii) to correct or supplement
any provision in this Agreement that may be defective or inconsistent with any
other provision in this Agreement or any other Basic Document, (iii) add to the
covenants, restrictions or obligations of the Seller, the Servicer, the Insurer
or either Trustee or (iv) add, change or eliminate any other provision of this
Agreement in any manner that shall not, as evidenced by an Officer's
Certificate, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the
Securityholders.


                                       44
<PAGE>

      Notwithstanding paragraph (a), this Agreement may also be amended from
time to time by the Seller, the Servicer and the Issuer with the consent of the
Controlling Party 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 Securityholders, and any provisions hereof may
be waived with the consent of the Controlling Party except that no amendment may
be made to this Agreement which would be prohibited under the proviso of Section
9.2 of the Indenture if such amendment were to be made to the Indenture unless
the consent that would have been required as described therein, if such
amendment were to be made to the Indenture, shall have been obtained.

      Prior to the execution of any such amendment or consent, the Indenture
Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment or
consent to the Rating Agencies and the Insurer.

      Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent, the Owner
Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment or
consent to each Certificateholder, the Insurer and the Indenture Trustee shall
furnish written notification to each Noteholder.

      It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Securityholders pursuant
to subsection 10.01(b) to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment
or consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the
substance thereof but it shall be necessary to obtain the consent of the
Insurer. The manner of obtaining such consents of the Securityholders (and any
other consents of the Securityholders provided for in this Agreement) and of
evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by the Securityholders
shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as either Trustee may
prescribe, including the establishment of record dates pursuant to paragraph
number 2 of the Note Depository Agreement.

      The Owner Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such
amendment which affects the Owner Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities
under this Agreement or otherwise. The Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be
obligated to, execute and deliver any such amendment which affects the Indenture
Trustee's rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.

      Each of ALS and the Seller agrees that such Person shall not amend or
agree to any amendment of the Purchase Agreement unless such amendment would be
permissible under the terms of this Section 10.01 as if this Section 10.01 were
contained in the Purchase Agreement and, if the Insurer is the Controlling

payments owing (and the nature of each) and extensions of any scheduled payments

the time of sale under this Agreement of the Loans to the Issuer, the Servicer's
master computer records (including any back-up archives) that refer to any Loan
indicate clearly that the Loan is owned by the Issuer. Indication of the
Issuer's ownership of a Loan shall be deleted from or modified on the Servicer's
computer systems when, and only when, the Loan has been paid in full, liquidated
or repurchased by the Seller or purchased by the Servicer.

transferee, the Servicer shall give to such prospective purchaser, lender or
other transferee computer tapes, records or print-outs (including any restored
from back-up archives) that, if they refer in any manner whatsoever to any Loan,
indicate clearly that such Loan has been sold and is owned by the Issuer unless
such Loan has been paid in full, liquidated or repurchased by the Seller or
purchased by the Servicer.
