                          FINANCIAL FEDERAL CORPORATION
                           RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT

Other Agreements     You and the Company agree to execute such further
instruments and to take such further action as may reasonably be necessary to
carry out the intent of this Agreement.

This Agreement and the attached Exhibits constitute the entire understanding
between you and the Company regarding this Award of Restricted Stock.  Any
prior agreements, commitments or negotiations are superseded.

Award of Restricted Stock     The Company awards you the number of shares of
Restricted Stock shown on the cover sheet of this Agreement.  The Award is
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Vesting     As long as you render continuous service to the Company (or its
parent, subsidiary or affiliate), you will become vested as to 25% of the
total number of shares of Restricted Stock awarded, as shown above on the
cover sheet, on the first anniversary of the Date of Award.  Thereafter, the
Restricted Stock vests at the rate of 25% on each anniversary of the Date of
Award.

In the event that your service ceases prior to the fourth anniversary of the
Date of Award, you will forfeit to the Company all of the unvested Restricted
Stock subject to this Award.

In the event that you die while employed on a full time basis by the Company
or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof and you were continuously employed by
the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, the vesting provision above shall
be accelerated so that you shall be fully one hundred percent (100%) vested
in all of the Restricted Stock granted to you herein.

Forfeiture     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if
(a) you violate any of the provisions in the representations section below or
(b) you, at any time during your employment or within twelve months after
termination of your employment, engage in any activity in competition with
any business activity of the Company, or inimical, contrary or harmful to the
interests of the Company, including, but not limited to: (i) conduct related
to your employment for which either criminal or civil penalties against you
may be sought, (ii) accepting employment with or serving as a consultant,
advisor or in any other capacity to an employer that is in competition with
or acting against the interests of the Company, or (iii) participating in a
hostile takeover attempt, tender offer or proxy contest, then you agree to
all of the following:

      Your stock award shall terminate and be forfeited effective the date
on which you entered into such activity, unless terminated or
forfeited sooner by operation of another term or condition of this
Agreement; and

      Any stock under this Agreement that vested during the
Forfeiture Period shall be immediately forfeited and any gain realized by you
from the sale of stock acquired under this Agreement that you sold during the
Forfeiture Period shall be promptly paid by you to the Company.  The
"Forfeiture Period" shall mean the period commencing twelve months prior to
your termination of employment and ending twelve months after your
termination of employment.

Escrow     The certificates for the Restricted Stock shall be deposited in
escrow with the Secretary of the Company (or his designee) to be held in
accordance with the provisions of this paragraph.  Each deposited certificate
shall be accompanied by a duly executed Assignment Separate from Certificate
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.  The deposited certificates, shall
remain in escrow until such time as the certificates are to be released or
otherwise surrendered for cancellation as discussed below.  Upon delivery of
the certificates to the Company, you shall be issued an instrument of deposit
acknowledging the number of Shares of Restricted Stock delivered in escrow to
the Secretary of the Company.

     All regular cash dividends, if any, on the Restricted Stock shall be
paid directly to you and shall not be held in escrow.
The Restricted Stock held in escrow hereunder shall be subject to the
following terms and conditions relating to their release from escrow or their
surrender to the Company:

      When your interest in the Restricted Stock vests as described above,
the certificates for such vested Restricted Stock shall be released
from escrow and delivered to you, at your request, in accordance with
the following schedule.

      The initial release of any vested Restricted Stock from escrow shall
be effected within thirty (30) days following the expiration of the
one (1) year period measured from the Date of Award.  Subsequent
releases of vested Restricted Stock from escrow shall occur on a
yearly basis.

      Upon termination of your service, any unvested Restricted
Stock shall be surrendered to the Company.

Sale of the Company     The Restricted Stock shall automatically vest
(subject to divestment) in the event there is a sale of all or substantially
all of the assets or stock of the Company (the "Sale of Company") and you
have continuously provided service from the Date of Award shown on the cover
sheet to the effective date of the Sale of Company.  If your employment with
the Company (or its successor) is terminated for any reason, other than by
the Company without Cause, before the first anniversary of the Sale of
Company, you will forfeit and issue to the Company the number of shares (or
the equivalent value in cash using the fair market value of the shares on the
date of the Sale of Company) whose vesting accelerated because of the Sale of
Company and to which would not have otherwise been vested under the vesting
schedule above.  In the event that there is a Sale of the Company and you are
terminated by the Company or its successor without cause prior to the first
anniversary of the date of the Sale of the Company, then all of your shares
of Restricted Stock shall not be subject to the forfeiture provisions herein.

Code Section 83(b) Election     You represent and warrant that you understand
the Federal, state and local income tax consequences of the granting of this
Restricted Stock.  Under Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), the fair market value (as determined by the Company in
its sole discretion) of the Restricted Stock on the date any forfeiture
restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock lapse will be reportable as
ordinary income at that time.  For this purpose, "forfeiture restrictions"
include surrender to the Company of unvested Restricted Stock as described
above.  You may elect to be taxed at the time the Restricted Stock is
acquired to the extent that the fair market value of the Restricted Stock
exceeds the amount of consideration paid by you (if any) for such Restricted
Stock at that time rather than when such Restricted Stock ceases to be
subject to such forfeiture restrictions, by filing an election under Section
83(b) of the Code with the Internal Revenue Service within thirty (30) days
after the Date of Award.  The form for making this election is attached as
Exhibit B hereto.  Failure to make this filing within the thirty (30) day
period will result in the recognition of ordinary income by you (in the event
the fair market value of the Restricted Stock increases after the date of
purchase) as the forfeiture restrictions lapse.  YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS
YOUR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY, AND NOT THE COMPANY'S, TO FILE A TIMELY ELECTION
UNDER CODE SECTION 83(b), EVEN IF YOU REQUEST THE COMPANY OR ITS
REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON YOUR BEHALF.  YOU ARE RELYING SOLELY
ON YOUR OWN ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE DECISION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT TO
FILE A CODE SECTION 83(b) ELECTION.

Leaves of Absence     For purposes of this Agreement, while you are a common-
law employee, your service does not terminate when you go on a bona fide
leave of absence that was approved by the Company (or its parent, subsidiary
or affiliate) in writing, if the terms of the leave provide for continued
service crediting, or when continued service crediting is required by
applicable law.  Your service terminates in any event when the approved leave
ends, unless you immediately return to active work.
The Company determines which leaves count for this purpose, and when your
service terminates for all purposes under this Agreement.

Voting and Other Rights     Subject to the terms of this Agreement, you shall
have all the rights and privileges of a stockholder of the Company while the
Restricted Stock is held in escrow, including the right to vote and to
receive dividends (if any).

Restrictions on Issuance     The Company will not issue any Restricted Stock
or Shares if the issuance of such Restricted Stock or Shares at that time
would violate any law or regulation.

Withholding Taxes     The release of the Restricted Stock from escrow will
not be allowed unless you make acceptable arrangements to pay any withholding
or other taxes that may be due.

Restrictions on Resale     By signing this Agreement, you agree not to sell
any Restricted Stock prior to its vesting or sell any Shares acquired under
this Award at a time when applicable laws, regulations or Company or
underwriter trading policies prohibit sale.

No Retention Rights     This Agreement is not an employment agreement and
does not give you the right to be retained by the Company (or its parent,
subsidiaries or affiliates) and you agree that you are an employee-at-will.
The Company (or its parent, subsidiaries or affiliates) reserves the right to
terminate your service at any time and for any reason.

Representations     You acknowledge that, while employed by the Company or any
subsidiary or affiliate thereof, you will have access to confidential and
proprietary information regarding the internal affairs, operations and
customers (customer is defined herein as including, but not limited to,
borrowers, makers, lessees, guarantors, vendors and manufacturers of the
following: equipment, construction equipment, transportation equipment, buses,
trailers, trucks, tractors, vehicles, manufacturing equipment, machine tools,
waste equipment, recycling equipment and production equipment) of the Company
and any subsidiary or affiliate thereof, including but not limited to,
information contained in any internal memorandum, standard operating procedure
manual, employee manual, customer or vendor lists, accounting records,
computer-generated information, computer lists, computer reports, computer
records, computer printouts or any software data or other information in any
computer system of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof and other
information which pertains to the business of the Company or any subsidiary or
affiliate thereof, which is not disclosed by the Company or any subsidiary or
affiliate thereof to the general public.  By acceptance of this Agreement, you
agree to keep secret and retain in strictest confidence and not to disclose, at
any time, all confidential matters, proprietary information which relate to the
Company or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof including, without limitation,
customer lists, trade secrets, internal memoranda, policies of the Company and
other confidential business affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries or
affiliates thereof and agrees not to disclose any of the foregoing information,
at any time, without the prior written consent of a duly authorized officer of
the Company.

You further agree that, for 120 days from the date that your employment by the
Company or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof ends; (1) You shall not, either
directly or indirectly, solicit business from any existing or prospective
customer(s) of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof and (2) You
shall not, either directly or indirectly, agree to hire, solicit or recruit on
behalf of your new employer, or through your new employer, any employee of the
Company or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof for any job, employment or
consulting, in the Company's or any subsidiary's or affiliate's industry or
with any company which competes with the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate
thereof.  For purposes of this paragraph, a "prospective customer" includes but
is not limited to, a person, corporation, partnership or other business entity
with whom one or more financing and/or leasing transactions has been discussed
within the twelve months prior to termination of your employment with the
Company, or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof.  The provisions of this
representations section shall survive any expiration or termination of this
Agreement.

Applicable Law     This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the
laws of the State of New York and construed accordingly, including any
conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer
construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of
another jurisdiction.  This Agreement may not be amended, altered, waived or
modified unless it is in writing and signed by you and an officer of the
Company who has the title of Executive Vice President or higher.  This
Agreement represents the final agreement between the parties and may not be
contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral
agreements between the parties.  The rights and remedies of the Company, its
subsidiaries and affiliates hereunder shall be cumulative and not alternative.
No delay or failure on the part of the Company, its subsidiaries or its
affiliates in exercising any rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such
or of any other rights.  If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of
this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid,
illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions,
covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and
effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the
parties hereto shall use their best efforts to find and employ an alternative
means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated
by such term, provision, covenant or restriction.  It is hereby stipulated and
declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the
remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any
of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
YOU HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO HAVE A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION, ACTION,
CAUSE OF ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM, CASE, ARBITRATION OR PROCEEDING BETWEEN YOU AND
THE COMPANY, ITS SUBSIDIARIES OR AFFILIATES.
