in the State of Delaware. All bank accounts maintained by the Owner Trustee on
behalf of the Trust shall be located in the State of Illinois or the State of

     The Trust Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Owner Trustee

                    (i)    The Trust Depositor is duly organized and validly
     existing as a corporation organized and existing and in good standing under
     the laws of the State of Nevada, with power and authority to own its
     properties and to conduct its business and had at all relevant times, and
     has, power, authority and legal right to acquire and own the Contracts.

                    (ii)   The Trust Depositor is duly qualified to do business
     as a foreign corporation in good standing and has obtained all necessary
     licenses and approvals in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease
     of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualifications.

                    (iii)  The Trust Depositor has the power and authority to
     execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out its terms; the Trust
     Depositor has full power and authority to sell and assign the property to
     be sold and assigned to and deposited with the Owner Trustee on behalf of
     the Trust as part of the Trust Estate and has duly authorized such sale and
     assignment and deposit with the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust by all
     necessary corporate action; and the execution, delivery and performance of
     this Agreement have been duly authorized by the Trust Depositor by all
     necessary corporate action.

                    (iv)   The consummation of the transactions contemplated by
     this Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof do not conflict
     with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, nor
     constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under, the
     articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Trust Depositor, or any
     indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Trust Depositor is a
     party or by which it is bound; nor result in the creation or imposition of
     any Lien upon any of the properties of the Trust Depositor pursuant to the
     terms of any such indenture, agreement or other instrument (other than
     pursuant to the Transaction Documents); nor violate any law or any order,
     rule or regulation applicable to the Trust Depositor of any court or of any
     federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency or other
     governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Trust Depositor
     or its properties.

                    (v)    There are no proceedings or investigations pending,
     or to the Trust Depositor's best knowledge threatened, before any court,
     regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental
     instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Trust Depositor or its
     properties: (A) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, any of the
     other Transaction Documents or the Trust Certificate, (B) seeking to
     prevent the issuance of the Trust Certificate or the consummation of any of
     the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other

                                      - 6 -
<Page>

     Transaction Documents, (C) seeking any determination or ruling that might
     materially and adversely affect the performance by the Trust Depositor of
     its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this
     Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or the Trust Certificate
     or (D) involving the Trust Depositor and which might adversely affect the
     federal income tax or other federal, state or local tax attributes of the
     Trust Certificate.

     SECTION 2.11.  FEDERAL INCOME TAX TREATMENT.

     It is the intention of the Trust Depositor that the Trust be disregarded as
a separate entity pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3(b)(1)(ii)
as in effect for periods after January 1, 1997. The Trust Certificate
constitutes the sole equity interest in the Trust and must at all times be held
by either the Trust Depositor or its transferee as sole owner. The Trust
Depositor agrees not to take any action inconsistent with such intended federal
income tax treatment. Because for federal income tax purposes the Trust will be
disregarded as a separate entity, Trust items of income, gain, loss and
deduction for any month as determined for federal income tax purposes shall be
allocated entirely to the Trust Depositor (or subsequent purchaser of the Trust
Certificate) as the sole Certificateholder.

Trust Depositor pursuant to Section 2.05 and until the issuance of the Trust
Certificate, the Trust Depositor shall be the sole beneficiary of the Trust. The
Trust Certificate must at all times be held by either the Trust Depositor or its
transferee as sole owner.

             (b)    No transfer of the Trust Certificate shall be made unless
such transfer is made in a transaction which does not require registration or
qualification under the Securities Act of 1933 or qualification under any state
securities or "Blue Sky" laws. Neither the Owner Trustee nor the Certificate
Registrar shall effect the registration of any transfer of the Trust Certificate
unless, (i) prior to such transfer the Owner Trustee shall have received a Tax
Opinion, and (ii) following such transfer, there would be no more than one
holder of the Trust Certificate and the holder of the Trust Certificate would
not be a Foreign Person, a partnership, Subchapter S corporation or grantor
trust.

signature of an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee and shall be deemed to
have been validly issued when so executed. The Trust Certificate bearing the
manual or facsimile signature of individuals who were, at the time when such
signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Owner Trustee shall
be a valid and binding obligation of the Trust, notwithstanding that such
individuals or any of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the

offices at the date of such Trust Certificate. The Trust Certificate shall be
dated the date of its authentication.

Trustee of the Contract Files and the other Trust Assets, a Trust Certificate
duly authenticated by the Owner Trustee, evidencing the entire ownership of the

Trustee in aggregate principal amount of, in the case of (i) Class A-1 Notes,
$315,000,000, (ii) Class A-2 Notes, $207,500,000 and (iii) Class B Notes,
$27,500,000, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Trust
Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth
in the form of Trust Certificate attached hereto as EXHIBIT B, executed by the
Owner Trustee or its authenticating agent, by manual signature, and such
certificate upon any Trust Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the
only evidence, that such Trust Certificate has been duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder. Upon issuance, authorization and delivery pursuant to the
terms hereof, the Trust Certificate will be entitled to the benefits of this
Agreement.

     SECTION 3.04.  REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF TRUST CERTIFICATE.

             (a)    The Certificate Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept,
a Certificate Register, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe. The Certificate Register shall provide for the registration of the
Trust Certificate and transfers and exchanges of the Trust Certificate as
provided herein. The Owner Trustee is hereby initially appointed Certificate
Registrar for the purpose of registering the Trust Certificate and transfers and
exchanges of the Trust Certificate as herein provided. In the event that,
subsequent to the Closing Date, the Owner Trustee notifies the Servicer that it
is unable to act as Certificate Registrar, the Servicer shall appoint another
bank or trust company, having an office or agency located in the City of
Chicago, Illinois, agreeing to act in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement applicable to it, and otherwise acceptable to the Owner Trustee, to
act as successor Certificate Registrar hereunder.

             (b)    Upon surrender for registration of transfer of the Trust
Certificate at the Owner Trustee Corporate Trust Office, the Owner Trustee shall
execute, authenticate and deliver (or shall cause its authenticating agent to
authenticate and deliver), in the name of the designated transferee, the new
Trust Certificate having the same aggregate principal amount.

             (c)    Every Trust Certificate presented or surrendered for
registration of transfer shall be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar
duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

<Page>

             (d)    No service charge shall be made for any registration of
transfer or exchange of the Trust Certificate, but the Owner Trustee may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection with any transfer of the Trust Certificate.

             (e)    All Trust Certificates surrendered for registration of
transfer shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Owner Trustee.

     SECTION 3.05.  MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN TRUST CERTIFICATE. If

or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Trust Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered
to the Certificate Registrar and the Owner Trustee such security or indemnity as
may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of
notice that such Trust Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser,
the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute and the Owner Trustee or
its authenticating agent shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in
lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Trust Certificate, a new
Trust Certificate of like tenor and fractional undivided interest. In connection
with the issuance of any new Trust Certificate under this Section, the Owner
Trustee may require the payment by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto. Any
duplicate Trust Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute
complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally
issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Trust Certificate shall be
found at any time.

     SECTION 3.06.  PERSON DEEMED OWNER. Prior to due presentation of a Trust
Certificate for registration of transfer, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar and any of their respective agents may treat the Person in whose name
any Trust Certificate is registered as the owner of such Trust Certificate for
the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 5.01 and for all
other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar, any Paying Agent or any of their respective agents shall be affected
by any notice of the contrary.

     SECTION 3.07.  ACCESS TO LIST OF CERTIFICATEHOLDER'S NAME AND ADDRESS. The
Owner Trustee shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Servicer and the
Trust Depositor, within 15 days after receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a
written request therefor from the Servicer or the Trust Depositor, the name and
address of the Certificateholder as of the most recent Record Date in such form
as the Servicer or the Trust Depositor may reasonably require. The
Certificateholder, by receiving and holding the Trust Certificate, agrees with
the Servicer, the Trust Depositor and the Owner Trustee that none of the
Servicer, the Trust Depositor or the Owner Trustee shall be held accountable by
reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the name and address of
the Certificateholder hereunder, regardless of the source from which such
information was derived.

     SECTION 3.08.  MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY. The Owner Trustee shall
maintain in Wilmington, Delaware, an office or offices or agency or agencies
where the Trust Certificate may be surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Owner Trustee in respect
of the Trust Certificate and this Agreement may be served. The Owner Trustee
hereby designates the Owner Trustee Corporate Trust Office as its office for
such purposes. The Owner Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Trust
Depositor, the Servicer and to the Certificateholder of any change in the
location of the Certificate Register or any such office or agency.

report the amounts of such distributions to the Owner Trustee. The Paying Agent
initially shall be BNY Midwest Trust Company, and any co-paying agent chosen by
the Paying Agent that is acceptable to the Owner Trustee. Each Paying Agent
shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days' written notice to the
Owner Trustee. In the event that BNY Midwest Trust Company shall no longer be
the Paying Agent, the Owner Trustee shall appoint a successor to act as Paying
Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company). The Owner Trustee shall cause
such successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent appointed by the
Owner Trustee to execute and deliver to the Owner Trustee an instrument in which
such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent shall agree with the
Owner Trustee that, as Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent or additional
Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the
Certificateholder in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholder entitled
thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Certificateholder. The Paying
Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Owner Trustee and upon removal of
a Paying Agent such Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession
to the Owner Trustee. The provisions of Sections 7.01, 7.03, 7.04 and 8.01 shall
apply to the Owner Trustee also in its role as Paying Agent, for so long as the
Owner Trustee shall act as Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any
other paying agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to the
Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires
otherwise.

Owner. The Owner Trustee shall elect under Section 1278 of the Code to include
in income currently any market discount that accrues with respect to the

                                   ARTICLE SIX

                      AUTHORITY AND DUTIES OF OWNER TRUSTEE

     SECTION 6.01.  GENERAL AUTHORITY. Subject to the provisions and limitations
of Sections 2.03 and 2.06, the Owner Trustee is authorized and directed to
execute and deliver the Transaction Documents to which the Trust is to be a
party and each certificate or other document attached as an exhibit to or
contemplated by the Transaction Documents to which the Trust is to be a party
and any amendment or other agreement, as evidenced conclusively by the Owner
Trustee's execution thereof. In addition to the foregoing, the Owner Trustee is
authorized, but shall not be obligated, to take all actions required of the
Trust pursuant to the Transaction Documents. The Owner Trustee is further
authorized from time to time to take such action as the Administrator recommends
with respect to the Transaction Documents.

     SECTION 6.02.  GENERAL DUTIES. Subject to the provisions and limitations of
Sections 2.03 and 2.06, it shall be the duty of the Owner Trustee to discharge
(or cause to be discharged through the Administrator all of its responsibilities
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to which
the Trust is a party and to administer the Trust in the interest of the Owner,
subject to the Transaction Documents and in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Owner Trustee shall on
behalf of the Trust file and prove any claim or claims that may exist against
Harley-Davidson Credit in connection with any claims paying procedure as part of
an insolvency or receivership proceeding involving Harley-Davidson Credit.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have
discharged its duties and responsibilities hereunder and under the Transaction
Documents to the extent the Administrator has agreed in the Administration
Agreement to perform any act or to discharge any duty of the Owner Trustee
hereunder or under any Transaction Document, and the Owner Trustee shall not be
held liable for the default or failure of the Administrator to carry out its
obligations under the Administration Agreement.

     SECTION 6.03.  ACTION UPON INSTRUCTION.

             (a)    Subject to Article Four, in accordance with the terms of the
Transaction Documents the Owner may by written instruction direct the Owner
Trustee in the management of the Trust.

             (b)    The Owner Trustee shall not be required to take any action
hereunder or under any other Transaction Document if the Owner Trustee shall
have reasonably determined, or shall have been advised by counsel, that such
action is likely to result in liability on the part of the Owner Trustee or is
contrary to the terms hereof or of any other Transaction Document or is
otherwise contrary to law.

             (c)    Whenever the Owner Trustee is unable to decide between
alternative courses of action permitted or required by the terms of this
Agreement or under any other Transaction Document, the Owner Trustee shall
promptly give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the
circumstances) to the Owner requesting instruction as to the course of action to
be adopted, and to the extent the Owner Trustee acts in good faith in accordance
with any written instruction of the Owner received, the Owner Trustee shall not
be liable on account of such action to any Person. If the Owner Trustee shall
not have received appropriate instruction within ten days of such notice (or
within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice
or may be necessary under the

                                     - 13 -
<Page>

circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from
taking such action not inconsistent with this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents, as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the
Owner, and shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction.

             (d)    In the event that the Owner Trustee is unsure as to the
applicability of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document or any such provision is ambiguous as to its application, or is, or
appears to be, in conflict with any other applicable provision, or in the event
that this Agreement permits any determination by the Owner Trustee or is silent
or in incomplete as to the course of action that the Owner Trustee is required
to take with respect to a particular set of facts, the Owner Trustee may give
notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the
Owner requesting instruction and, to the extent that the Owner Trustee acts or
refrains from acting in good faith in accordance with any such instruction
received, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable, on account of such action or
inaction, to any Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not have received
appropriate instruction within ten days of such notice (or within such shorter
period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be necessary
under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain

legal counsel shall be subject to the approval of the Trust Depositor, which

     SECTION 10.02. RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF OWNER TRUSTEE. The Owner Trustee
may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by
giving written notice thereof to the Administrator. Upon receiving such notice
of resignation, the Administrator shall promptly appoint a successor Owner
Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall
be delivered to the resigning Owner Trustee and one copy to the successor Owner
Trustee. If no successor Owner Trustee shall have been so appointed and have
accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of
resignation, the resigning Owner Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Owner Trustee.

     If at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance

request therefor by the Administrator, or if at any time the Owner Trustee shall
be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a
receiver of the Owner Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any
public officer shall take charge or control of the Owner Trustee or of its
property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or

successor Owner Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which
instrument shall be delivered to the outgoing Owner Trustee so removed and one
copy to the successor Owner Trustee, and shall pay all fees owed to the outgoing
Owner Trustee.

     Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and appointment of a
successor Owner Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall
not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner
Trustee pursuant to Section 10.03 and payment of all fees and expenses owed to

resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee to each Rating Agency.

     SECTION 10.03. SUCCESSOR OWNER TRUSTEE. Any successor Owner Trustee
appointed pursuant to Section 10.02 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to
the Administrator, and to its predecessor Owner Trustee an instrument accepting
such appointment under this Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal
of the predecessor Owner Trustee shall become effective, and such successor
Owner Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully
vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor
under this Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Owner Trustee.
The predecessor Owner Trustee shall upon payment of its fees and expenses
deliver to the successor Owner Trustee all documents and statements and monies
held by it under this Agreement; and the Administrator and the predecessor Owner
Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as
may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the
successor Owner Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

     No successor Owner Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Owner Trustee shall
be eligible pursuant to Section 10.01.

     Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to
this Section, the Administrator shall mail notice thereof to the
Certificateholder, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and each Rating

successor Owner Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of
the Administrator.

     SECTION 10.04. MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF OWNER TRUSTEE. Any corporation
into which the Owner Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Owner Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation
succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the
Owner Trustee, shall be the successor of the Owner Trustee hereunder, without
the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of any
of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding;
PROVIDED, that such corporation shall be eligible pursuant to Section 10.01 and,
PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the Owner Trustee shall mail notice of such merger or
consolidation to each Rating Agency.

     SECTION 10.05. APPOINTMENT OF CO-TRUSTEE OR SEPARATE TRUSTEE.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part
of the Trust Estate or any financed Motorcycle may at the time be located, the
Administrator and the Owner Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and
shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons
approved by the Administrator and Owner Trustee to act as co-trustee, jointly
with the Owner Trustee, or as separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or
any part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person, in such capacity, such
title to the Trust or any part thereof and, subject to the other provisions of
this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the
Administrator and the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the
Administrator shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the
receipt by it of a request so to do, the Owner Trustee alone shall have the
power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this
Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor
Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 10.01 and no notice of the appointment of any
co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 10.03.

     Each separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law,
be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

             (a)    all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
     imposed upon the Owner Trustee shall be conferred upon and exercised or
     performed by the Owner Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee
     jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is
     not authorized to act separately without the Owner Trustee joining in such
     act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which
     any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Owner Trustee shall be
     incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such
     rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to
     the Trust Estate or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be
     exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but
     solely at the direction of the Owner Trustee;

             (b)    no trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable
     by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under this Agreement;
     and

             (c)    the Administrator and the Owner Trustee acting jointly may
     at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or
     co-trustee.

     Any notice, request or other writing given to the Owner Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees,
as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions
of this Article. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of
the trusts

                                     - 21 -
<Page>

conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its
instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Owner Trustee or separately,
as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of or affording protection to, the Owner Trustee.
Each such instrument shall be filed with the Owner Trustee and a copy thereof
given to the Administrator.

     Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Owner
Trustee as its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Owner Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new
or successor co-trustee or separate trustee.

     SECTION 11.01. SUPPLEMENTS AND AMENDMENTS.

             (a)    The Agreement may be amended by the Trust Depositor, and the
Owner Trustee, without the consent of any of the Noteholders or the
Certificateholder, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any
provisions in this Agreement or to add any other provisions with respect to
matters or questions arising under this Agreement that shall not be inconsistent

manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement, or of modifying
in any manner the rights of the Noteholders or the Certificateholder; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that no such amendment shall increase or reduce in any manner the
amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, (i) collections of payments on
Contracts or distributions that shall be required to be made for the benefit of
the Noteholders or the Certificateholder, or (ii) eliminate the
Certificateholder consent or reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Outstanding
Amount of the Notes required to consent to any such amendment, without the
consent of the Holder of all outstanding Notes and the Trust Certificate.

             (c)    Prior to the execution of any such amendment or consent, the
Trust Depositor shall furnish written notification of the substance of such
amendment or consent, together with a copy thereof, to the Indenture Trustee,
the Administrator and each Rating Agency.

             (d)    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. It shall not be
necessary for the consent of Certificateholder, Noteholders or the Indenture
Trustee pursuant to this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed
amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve
the substance thereof. The manner of

                                     - 22 -

shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Owner Trustee may
prescribe.

             (e)    Promptly after the execution of any amendment to the

     The Trust was created pursuant to a Trust Agreement, dated as of

AGREEMENT"), among Harley-Davidson Customer Funding Corp., as Trust Depositor
(the "TRUST DEPOSITOR"), Harley-Davidson Credit Corp. (the "SELLER") and
Wilmington Trust Company, as owner trustee (the "OWNER TRUSTEE"), a summary of
certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth below. To the extent

meanings assigned to them in (i) the Trust Agreement, (ii) the Sale and
Servicing Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2003 (the "SALE AND SERVICING
AGREEMENT"), among the Trust, Harley-Davidson Customer Funding Corp., as
depositor (the "TRUST DEPOSITOR"), Harley-Davidson Credit Corp.

BNY Midwest Trust Company, as Indenture Trustee (the "Indenture Trustee") or

Trust and the Indenture Trustee.

     This Trust Certificate is the duly authorized Trust Certificate designated

as "___% HARLEY-DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLE CONTRACT BACKED NOTES, CLASS A-1", "___%
HARLEY-DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLE CONTRACT BACKED NOTES, CLASS A-2" and "___%
HARLEY-DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLE CONTRACT BACKED NOTES, CLASS B" (collectively, the
"NOTES"). This Trust Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Trust Agreement, to which Trust

<Page>

Agreement the Holder of this Trust Certificate by virtue of its acceptance
hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound. The property of the Trust
includes, among other things, (i) all the right, title and interest of the Trust
Depositor in and to the Initial Contracts listed on the initial List of
Contracts delivered on the Closing Date (including, without limitation, all
security interests and all rights to receive payments which are collected
pursuant thereto on or after the Initial Cutoff Date, including any liquidation
proceeds therefrom, but excluding any rights to receive payments which were
collected pursuant thereto prior to the Initial Cutoff Date), (ii) all rights of
the Trust Depositor under any physical damage or other individual insurance
policy (and rights under a "FORCED PLACED" policy, if any) or any debt
cancellation agreement relating to any such Contract, an Obligor or a Motorcycle
securing such Contract, (iii) all security interests in each such Motorcycle,
(iv) all documents contained in the related Contract Files, (v) all rights (but
not the obligations) of the Trust Depositor under any related motorcycle dealer
agreements between dealers (i.e., the originators of such Contracts) and the
Trust Depositor, (vi) all rights of the Trust Depositor in the Lockbox, the
Lockbox Account and related Lockbox Agreement to the extent they relate to such
Contracts, (vii) all rights (but not the obligations) of the Trust Depositor
under the Transfer and Sale Agreement, including but not limited to the Trust
Depositor's rights under Article V thereof, (viii) the remittances, deposits and
payments made into the Trust Accounts from time to time and amounts in the Trust
Accounts from time to time (and any investments of such amounts), (ix) all
rights of the Trust Depositor to certain rebates of premiums and other amounts
relating to insurance policies, debt cancellation agreements, extended service
contracts or other repair agreements and other items financed under such
Contracts and (x) all proceeds and products of the foregoing.

     Under the Trust Agreement, there will be distributed on the fifteenth day
of each month or if such day is not a Business Day the next succeeding Business
Day commencing [    ], 2003 (each, a "DISTRIBUTION DATE") to the person in whose
name this Trust Certificate is registered as of the last Business Day
immediately preceding the calendar month in which such Distribution Date occurs
(each, a "RECORD DATE"), such Certificateholder's fractional undivided
beneficial interest in the amount to be distributed to the Certificateholder on
such Distribution Date.

     The holder of this Trust Certificate acknowledges and agrees that its
rights to receive distributions in respect of this Trust Certificate are
subordinated to the rights of the Noteholders to the extent described in the
Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture.

     It is the intent of the Seller, the Servicer, the Trust Depositor, Owner
Trustee, Indenture Trustee and the Certificateholder that, for purposes of
federal income, state and local income and single business tax and any other
income taxes, the Trust will be treated as a partnership and the
Certificateholder (including the Trust Depositor) will be treated as partners in
that partnership. The Trust Depositor and the Certificateholder, by acceptance
of a Trust Certificate, agree to treat, and to take no action inconsistent with
the treatment of, the Trust Certificate for such tax purposes as partnership
interests in the Trust and the Certificateholder (including the Trust Depositor)
as partners in that partnership.

     Each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of a Trust Certificate or
beneficial interest in a Trust Certificate, covenants and agrees that such
Certificateholder will not at any time institute against the Trust or the Trust
Depositor, or join in any institution against the Trust or the Trust Depositor,
Harley-Davidson Credit or the Servicer any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under
any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in

<Page>

connection with any obligations relating to the Trust Certificate, the Notes,
the Trust Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents.

     Distributions on this Trust Certificate will be made as provided in the
Sale and Servicing Agreement by wire transfer or check mailed to the
Certificateholder of record in the Certificate Register without the presentation
or surrender of this Trust Certificate or the making of any notation hereon.
Except as otherwise provided in the Trust Agreement and notwithstanding the
above, the final distribution on this Trust Certificate will be made after due
notice by the Owner Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon
presentation and surrender of this Trust Certificate at the office or agency
maintained for that purpose by the Owner Trustee in the City of Wilmington,
Delaware.

     Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Trust
Certificate set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for
all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed by
an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee, by manual signature, this Trust
Certificate shall not entitle the holder hereof to any benefit under the Trust
Agreement or any other Transaction Document or be valid for any purpose.

     THIS TRUST CERTIFICATE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND
THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE
DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

                            [REVERSE OF CERTIFICATE]

     The Trust Certificate does not represent an obligation of, or an interest
in the Trust Depositor, Harley-Davidson Credit, as the Seller or Servicer, the
Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or any of their respective Affiliates and
no recourse may be had against such parties or their assets, except as expressly
set forth or contemplated herein or in the Trust Agreement or the other
Transaction Documents. In addition, this Trust Certificate is not guaranteed by
any governmental agency or instrumentality and is limited in right of payment to
certain collections and recoveries with respect to the Contracts and certain
other amounts, in each case as more specifically set forth herein and in the
Sale and Servicing Agreement. A copy of each of the Sale and Servicing Agreement
and the Trust Agreement may be examined by any Certificateholder upon written
request during normal business hours at the principal office of the Trust
Depositor and at such other places, if any, designated by the Trust Depositor.

     The Trust Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Trust Depositor and the rights of the Certificateholder under the Trust
Agreement at any time by the Trust Depositor and the Owner Trustee with the
consent of the Holder of the Trust Certificate and the Modified Registered
Holders. Any such consent by the Holder of this Trust Certificate shall be
conclusive and binding on such Holder and on all future Holder of this Trust
Certificate and of any Trust Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent is
made upon this Trust Certificate. The Trust Agreement also permits the amendment
thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holder of
any of the Trust Certificate.

     As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this Trust Certificate is registerable in the
Certificate Register upon surrender of this Trust Certificate for registration
of transfer at the offices or agencies of the Certificate Registrar maintained
by the Owner Trustee in Wilmington, Delaware, accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar in Chicago, Illinois executed by the Holder hereof or such
Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the new Trust
Certificate of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate interest
in the Trust will be issued to the designated transferee. The initial
Certificate Registrar appointed under the Trust Agreement is the Owner Trustee.

     The Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and any of their respective
agents may treat the Person in whose name this Trust Certificate is registered
as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Owner Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.

     The obligations and responsibilities created by the Trust Agreement and the
Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the payment to the Certificateholder
of all amounts required to be paid to them pursuant to the Trust Agreement and
the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the deposition of all property held as part
of the Trust Estate. The Trust Depositor may at its option purchase the Trust
Estate at a price specified in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and such
purchase of the Contracts and other property of the Trust will affect early
retirement of the Trust Certificate; however, such right of purchase is

<Page>

exercisable only as of any Distribution Date on which the Pool Balance has
declined to less than 10% of the sum of (i) the initial Pool Balance and (ii)
the Pre-Funded Amount on the Closing Date.

     The Trust Certificate may not be acquired by a Benefit Plan. By accepting
and holding this Trust Certificate, the Holder hereof by accepting a beneficial
interest in this Trust Certificate, shall be deemed to have represented and
warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan and is not acquiring this Trust
Certificate or an interest therein for the account of such an entity.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and not in
its individual capacity, has caused this Trust Certificate to be duly executed.
