as the sub-servicer (the “Sub-Servicer”).

     In consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter
contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION

     SECTION 1.1 Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Section 1.1 of the
Servicing Agreement, dated as of August 12, 2004 by and between GE Dealer
Floorplan Master Note Trust (“Owner”) and the Master Servicer (the “Servicing

good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and is
duly qualified to do business, and is in good standing, in each
jurisdiction in which the servicing of the Sub-Serviced Assets hereunder

the enforceability of creditors’ rights generally and general equitable
principles, whether applied in a proceeding at law or in equity.

or other action by any Governmental Authority or any other party is
required for the due execution, delivery and performance by the
Sub-Servicer of this Agreement, other than consents, notices, filings and
other actions which have been obtained or made or where the failure to
obtain such consent or take such action, individually or in the
aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

     (e) There is no pending or, to its actual knowledge, threatened
Litigation of a material nature against or affecting it, its officers or
directors, or its property, in any court or tribunal, before any
arbitrator of any kind or before or by any Governmental Authority (i)

JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY

invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of
this Agreement.

contained in this Agreement are and shall be without substantive meaning or
content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the

the Administrator shall have notified the Trustee or the Trust, as
applicable, of the proposed action and the Trustee or the Trust, as
applicable, shall have consented or provided an alternative direction.
For the purpose of the preceding sentence, “non-ministerial matters”
shall include, without limitation:

the compromise of any action, claim or lawsuit brought by or
against the Trust (other than in connection with the collection of
the Transferred Receivables);

Related Documents other than an Indenture Supplement and other than

the Administrator or its Affiliates from engaging in other businesses or, in
their sole discretion, from acting in a similar capacity as an administrator

similar to those of the Trust.

     8. Term of Agreement; Resignation and Removal of the Administrator.

     (a) This Agreement shall continue in force until the dissolution of the
Trust, upon which event this Agreement shall automatically terminate.

duties under this Agreement and, after notice of such default, shall not

cured in such time, shall not give within ten (10) days such assurance of
cure as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trust);

     (ii) a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall enter a
decree or order for relief, and such decree or order shall not have been
vacated within sixty (60) days, in respect of the Administrator in any
involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other

assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official for the
Administrator or any substantial part of its property or order the
winding-up or liquidation of its affairs; or

     (iii) the Administrator shall commence a voluntary case under any
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter
in effect, shall consent to the entry of an order for relief in an
involuntary case under any such law, or shall consent to the appointment

Administration Agreement

to the taking of possession by any such official of any substantial
part of its property, shall make any general assignment for the benefit
of creditors or shall fail generally to pay its debts as they become due.

     The Administrator agrees that if any of the events specified in clauses
(ii) or (iii) of this subsection shall occur, it shall give written notice
thereof to the Trust, the Master Servicer and the Indenture Trustee within
seven (7) days after the happening of such event.

     (e) Upon the Administrator’s receipt of notice of termination, pursuant to
Section 8(c) or 8(d), or the Administrator’s resignation in accordance with
this Agreement, the predecessor Administrator shall continue to perform its
functions as Administrator under this Agreement, in the case of termination,
only until the date specified in such termination notice or, if no such date is
specified in a notice of termination, until receipt of such notice and, in the
case of resignation, until the later of: (x) the date that is forty-five (45)
days from the delivery to the Trust, the Indenture Trustee and the Master
Servicer of written notice of such resignation (or written confirmation of such
notice) in accordance with this Agreement and (y) the date upon which the
predecessor Administrator shall become unable to act as Administrator, as
specified in the notice of resignation and accompanying Opinion of Counsel. In
the event of the Administrator’s termination hereunder, the Trust shall appoint
a successor Administrator, and the successor Administrator shall accept its
appointment by a written assumption. No resignation or removal of the
Administrator pursuant to this Section shall be effective until: (i) a
successor Administrator shall have been appointed by the Trust and (ii) such
successor Administrator shall have agreed in writing to be bound by the terms
of this Agreement in the same manner as the Administrator is bound hereunder.

     (f) Upon appointment, the successor Administrator shall be the successor
in all respects to the predecessor Administrator and shall be subject to all
the responsibilities, duties and liabilities arising thereafter relating
thereto placed on the predecessor Administrator and shall be entitled to the
compensation specified in Section 3 and all the rights granted to the
predecessor Administrator by the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

     (h) The Administrator or the Trust, as the case may be, shall provide to
the Indenture Trustee a copy of all notices required to be delivered under this
Section 8.

     9. Action upon Termination, Resignation or Removal. Promptly upon the
effective date of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8(a), or
the resignation or removal of the Administrator pursuant to Section 8(b) or
8(c), respectively, the Administrator shall be entitled to be paid all fees and
reimbursable expenses accruing to it to the date of such termination,
resignation or removal. The Administrator shall forthwith upon such
termination pursuant to Section 8(a) deliver to the Trust all property and
documents of or relating to the Collateral then in the custody of the
Administrator. In the event of the resignation or removal of the Administrator

steps requested to

assist the Trust and the Indenture Trustee in making an orderly transfer
of the duties of the Administrator to the successor Administrator.

Administration Agreement

-10-

 

     11. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended from time to time by a
written amendment duly executed and delivered by the Trust and the
Administrator. Promptly after the execution of any such amendment, the
Administrator shall furnish written notification of the substance of such
amendment or consent to the Holder of the Transferor Certificate and each of
the Rating Agencies.

     12. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned by the
Administrator unless such assignment is previously consented to in writing by
the Trust and subject to the satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition in
respect thereof. An assignment with such consent and satisfaction, if accepted
by the assignee, shall bind the assignee hereunder in the same manner as the
Administrator is bound hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement
may be assigned by the Administrator without the consent of the Trust to a
corporation or other organization that is a successor (by merger, consolidation
or purchase of assets) to the Administrator, provided, that such successor
organization executes and delivers to the Trust, an agreement in which such
corporation or other organization agrees to be bound hereunder by the terms of
said assignment in the same manner as the Administrator is bound hereunder.
Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind any successors or assigns
of the parties hereto.

     13. GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

     (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER SHALL IN ALL
RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, BE
GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401(1) OF THE GENERAL
OBLIGATIONS LAW, BUT WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY OTHER CONFLICT OF LAWS PROVISIONS
THEREOF) AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

     (b) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL
COURTS LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY SHALL HAVE
EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN
THEM PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING
TO THIS AGREEMENT; PROVIDED, THAT EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY
APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF
THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY; PROVIDED, FURTHER, THAT NOTHING IN
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE THE TRUSTEE FROM BRINGING
SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION, OR TO ENFORCE A
JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF THE TRUSTEE. EACH PARTY HERETO
SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT
COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION
THAT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK

Administration Agreement

-11-

 

OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND
HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED
APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF
THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND
AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY
REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO SUCH PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS DETERMINED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 10 AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED
COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF SUCH PARTY’S ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE DAYS
AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE UNITED STATES MAIL, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID. NOTHING IN
THIS SECTION SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS
IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.

     (c) BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL
TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND
EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY
(RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE
RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE
BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE
PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR
PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT
OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE
RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

     14. Other Interpretive Matters. All terms defined directly or by
incorporation in this Agreement shall have the defined meanings when used in
any document delivered pursuant hereto unless otherwise defined therein. For
purposes of this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires: (a)
accounting terms not otherwise defined herein and accounting terms partly
defined herein to the extent not defined, shall have the respective meanings
given to them under generally accepted accounting principles; (b) unless
otherwise provided, references to any month, quarter or year refer to a
calendar month, quarter or year; (c) references to any amount as on deposit or
outstanding on any particular date means such amount at the close of business
on such day; (d) the words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of
similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular
provision of this Agreement; (e) references to any section, schedule or exhibit
are references to sections, schedules and exhibits in or to this Agreement, and
references to any paragraph, subsection, clause or other subdivision within any
section or definition refer to such paragraph, subsection, clause or other
subdivision of such section or definition; (f) the term “including” means
“including without limitation”; (g) references to any law or regulation refer
to that law or regulation as amended from time to time and include any
successor law or regulation; (h) references to any agreement refer to that
agreement as from time to time amended, restated or supplemented or as the
terms of such

Administration Agreement

-12-

 

agreement are waived or modified in accordance with its terms; and (i)
references to any Person include that Person’s successors and assigns.

     15. Headings. The section headings hereof have been inserted for
convenience of reference only and shall not be construed to affect the meaning,
construction or effect of this Agreement.

     16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of
which when so executed shall together constitute but one and the same
agreement.

     17. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

     18. Not Applicable to General Electric Capital Corporation in Other
Capacities. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any obligation General
Electric Capital Corporation may have in any other capacity.

     19. Limitation of Liability of the Trustee. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, this instrument has been countersigned by The
Bank of New York (Delaware), not in its individual capacity but solely in its
capacity as Trustee of the Trust, and in no event shall The Bank of New York
(Delaware), in its individual capacity, or any beneficial owner of the Trust
have any liability for the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements
or other obligations of the Trust hereunder, as to all of which recourse shall
be had solely to the assets of the Trust. For all purposes of this Agreement,
in the performance of any duties or obligations of the Trust thereunder, the
Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and
provisions of the Trust Agreement.

     20. Indemnification. The Administrator shall indemnify the Trust (and its
officers, directors, employees, trustees, and agents) (the “Indemnified
Parties”) for, and hold them harmless against, any losses, liability or
expense, including attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by them (all of the
foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”), incurred
without negligence or willful misconduct on their part, arising out of or in
connection with: (i) actions taken by either of them pursuant to instructions
given by the Administrator pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) the failure of
the Administrator to perform its obligations hereunder. The indemnities
contained in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and
the resignation or removal of the Administrator or the Trust.

     In the event any proceeding (including any governmental investigation)
shall be instituted involving any Indemnified Party pursuant to the preceding
paragraph, such Person shall promptly notify the Administrator in writing, and
the Administrator shall have the option to assume the defense thereof,
including the retention of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified
Party to represent such Indemnified Party in such proceeding and shall pay the
reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding
upon delivery to the Administrator of demand therefor. In any such proceeding,
any Indemnified Party shall have

Administration Agreement

-13-

 

the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the
Administrator has failed to assume the defense thereof, (ii) the Administrator
and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such
counsel or (iii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any
impleaded parties) include both the Administrator and the Indemnified Party and
representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due
to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that
the Administrator shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related
proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of
more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such
Indemnified Parties. The Administrator shall not be liable for any settlement
of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with
such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the
Administrator agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any
loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment for which the
Administrator is liable pursuant to this Section. The Administrator shall not,
without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any
settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which such
Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been
sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an
unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims
that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

     21. No Proceedings. From and after the Closing Date and until the date
one year plus one day following the date on which the Outstanding Balance of
all Transferred Receivables have been reduced to zero, the Administrator shall
not, directly or indirectly, institute or cause to be instituted against the
Trust any proceeding of the type referred to in the definition of “Insolvency
Event.”
