-ii-
THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of August 1, 2001, is made by and between
Harley-Davidson Credit Corp., a Nevada corporation, as seller hereunder
(together with its successors and assigns "HARLEY-DAVIDSON CREDIT" or "SELLER"),
and Harley-Davidson Customer Funding Corp., a Nevada corporation and
wholly-owned subsidiary of Seller (together with its successors and assigns
"TRUST DEPOSITOR"), as purchaser hereunder.
WHEREAS, in the regular course of its business, Seller purchases and
services motorcycle conditional sales contracts from Harley-Davidson motorcycle
retailers, each of which contracts provides for installment payment obligations
by or on behalf of the retailer's customer/purchaser and grants a security
interest in a Harley-Davidson motorcycle in order to secure such obligations;
WHEREAS, Seller and Trust Depositor wish to set forth the terms and
conditions pursuant to which Trust Depositor will acquire from time to time the
"CONTRACT ASSETS," as hereinafter defined; and
WHEREAS, Trust Depositor intends concurrently with its purchases from time
to time of Contract Assets hereunder to convey all right, title and interest in
such Contract Assets to Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Trust 2001-2 (the "TRUST")
pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement dated as of August 1, 2001 by and
among Trust Depositor, Harley-Davidson Credit, as Servicer, Harley-Davidson
Motorcycle Trust 2001-2, as issuer (the "ISSUER") and Bank One, National
Association, as Indenture Trustee (as amended, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time, the "SALE AND SERVICING AGREEMENT"), executed
concurrently herewith;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements
hereinafter set forth, Seller and Trust Depositor agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS
SECTION 1.01. GENERAL. Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement,
capitalized terms used herein (including in the preamble above) shall have the
meanings assigned to them in the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
ARTICLE II
TRANSFER OF CONTRACTS; ASSIGNMENT OF AGREEMENT
SECTION 2.01. CLOSING. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement, Seller hereby sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and
otherwise conveys to Trust Depositor, in consideration of Trust Depositor's
payment of $302,227,604.15 in cash as the purchase price therefor, (i) all the
right, title and interest of Seller in and to the Initial Contracts listed on
the initial List of Contracts in effect 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
Seller under any physical damage or other individual insurance policy (including
a "FORCED PLACED" policy, if any) 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 of Seller in the Lockbox, Lockbox Account and related Lockbox Agreement
to the extent they relate to the Contracts, (vi) all rights (but not the
obligations) of the Seller under any motorcycle dealer agreements between the
dealers (i.e. the originators of the Contracts) and the Seller and (vii) all
proceeds and products of the foregoing (items (i) - (vii), together with the
additional assets referred to in Section 2.04 below which may be transferred
from time to time in respect of Subsequent Contracts, being collectively
referred to herein as the "CONTRACT ASSETS"). Although Seller and Trust
Depositor agree that any such transfer is intended to be a sale of ownership in
the Contract Assets, rather than the mere granting of a security interest to
secure a borrowing, in the event such transfer is deemed to be of a mere
security interest to secure indebtedness, Seller shall be deemed to have granted
Trust Depositor a perfected first priority security interest in such Contract
Assets and this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable
law. If such transfer is deemed to be the mere granting of a security interest
to secure a borrowing, Trust Depositor may, to secure Trust Depositor's own
borrowing under the Sale and Servicing Agreement (to the extent that the
transfer of the Contract Assets thereunder is deemed to be a mere granting of a
security interest to secure a borrowing) repledge and reassign (i) all or a
portion of the Contract Assets pledged to Trust Depositor and not released from
the security interest of this Agreement at the time of such pledge and
assignment, and (ii) all proceeds thereof. Such repledge and reassignment may be
made by Trust Depositor with or without a repledge and reassignment by Trust
Depositor of its rights under this Agreement, and without further notice to or
acknowledgment from Seller. Seller waives, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, all claims, causes of action and remedies, whether legal or equitable
(including any right of setoff), against Trust Depositor or any assignee of
Trust Depositor relating to such action by Trust Depositor in connection with
the transactions contemplated by the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 2.02. CONDITIONS TO THE CLOSING. On or before the Closing Date,
Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Trust Depositor each of the
documents, certificates and other items as follows:
(a) The initial List of Contracts, certified by the Chairman of
the Board, President or any Vice President of Seller together with an
Assignment substantially in the form attached as EXHIBIT A hereto.
(b) A certificate of an officer of Seller substantially in the
form of EXHIBIT B hereto.
-2-
(c) An opinion of counsel for Seller substantially in the form
of EXHIBIT D to the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
(d) A letter or letters from Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP, or another
nationally recognized accounting firm, addressed to Trust Depositor and the
Issuer and the Trustees and stating that such firm has reviewed a sample of
the Initial Contracts and performed specific procedures for such sample
with respect to certain contract terms and identifying those Initial
Contracts which do not so conform.
(e) Copies of resolutions of the Board of Directors of Seller or
of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of Seller approving
the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereunder, certified in each case by the
Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of Seller.
(f) Officially certified recent evidence of due incorporation
and good standing of Seller under the laws of Nevada.
(g) Evidence of proper filing with the appropriate office in
Nevada of a UCC financing statement naming Seller as debtor/seller, naming
Trust Depositor as secured party/purchaser and the Owner Trust as assignee,
and listing the Contract Assets as collateral as well as evidence of proper
filing with the appropriate office in Delaware of a UCC financing statement
naming the Issuer as debtor, naming the Indenture Trustee, as assignee, and
listing the Contract Assets as collateral.
(h) An Officer's Certificate from Seller confirming that
Seller's compliance officer has reviewed the original of each Initial
Contract and each related Contract File, that each Initial Contract and
related Contract File conforms in all material respects with the initial
List of Contracts and each such Contract File is complete, that each
document required be an original, and that the face of each original
Initial Contract has been stamped with the following notation:
"This Contract/Note is subject to a security interest granted
to Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Trust 2001-2. A UCC1 financing
statement covering this Contract/Note has been filed with the
Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. Such lien will be
released only in connection with appropriate filings in such
offices. Consequently, potential purchasers of this Contract/Note
must refer to such filings to determine whether such lien has been
released."
(i) The documents, certificates and other items described in
Section 2.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, to the extent not already
described above.
SECTION 2.03. ASSIGNMENT OF AGREEMENT. Trust Depositor has the right to
assign its interest under this Agreement to the Issuer as may be required to
effect the purposes of the Sale
-3-
and Servicing Agreement, without further notice to, or consent of, Seller, and
the Issuer shall succeed to such of the rights of Trust Depositor hereunder as
shall be so assigned. Seller acknowledges that, pursuant to the Sale and
Servicing Agreement, Trust Depositor will assign all of its right, title and
interest in and to the Contract Assets and its right to exercise the remedies
created by Section 5.01 hereof for breaches of representations and warranties of
Seller contained in Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 and 3.04 hereof to the Issuer and
the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders. Seller agrees that,
upon such assignment to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, such
representations will run to and be for the benefit of the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee and the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee may enforce directly
without joinder of Trust Depositor, the obligations of Seller set forth herein.
SECTION 2.04. SUBSEQUENT CONTRACTS. (a) Subject to and upon the terms
and conditions set forth in paragraph (b) below and in the related Subsequent
Purchase Agreement, Seller hereby agrees to sell, transfer, assign, set over and
otherwise convey to Trust Depositor, in consideration of Trust Depositor's
payment on the related Subsequent Transfer Date of the purchase price therefor
(as set forth in the related Subsequent Purchase Agreement), and Trust Depositor
hereby agrees to purchase, (i) all the right, title and interest of Seller in
and to the Subsequent Contracts listed on the related Subsequent List of
Contracts (including, without limitation, all security interests and all rights
to receive payments which are collected pursuant thereto on or after the
applicable Subsequent Cutoff Date, including any liquidation proceeds therefrom,
but excluding any rights to receive payments which were collected pursuant
thereto prior to such Subsequent Cutoff Date), (ii) all rights of Seller under
any physical damage or other individual insurance policy (including a "FORCED
PLACED" policy, if any) 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 of Seller in the Lockbox, Lockbox Account and related Lockbox Agreement
to the extent they relate to the Contracts, (vi) all rights (but not the
obligations) of the Seller under any motorcycle dealer agreements between the
dealers (I.E. the originators of such Subsequent Contracts) and the Seller and
(vii) all proceeds and products of the foregoing (items (i) - (vii), upon
consummation of any above-described purchase, becoming part of the "CONTRACT
ASSETS"). Seller agrees, subject to the terms and conditions herein applicable
to transfers of Subsequent Contracts, to sell an aggregate Principal Balance of
Subsequent Contracts at or prior to the end of the Funding Period equal to the
Pre-Funded Amount on the Closing Date.
(b) Seller shall transfer to Trust Depositor, and Trust
Depositor shall purchase, the Subsequent Contracts and related assets to be
transferred on any Subsequent Transfer Date only upon the satisfaction of each
of the following conditions on or prior to the Subsequent Transfer Date:
(i) The Seller shall have provided the Trustees, the
Underwriters and the Rating Agencies with a timely Addition Notice and
shall have provided any information reasonably requested by any of the
foregoing with respect to the Subsequent Contracts;
(ii) the Funding Period shall not have terminated;
-4-
(iii) the Seller shall have delivered to the Trust Depositor a
duly executed Purchase Agreement and Assignment in substantially the form
of EXHIBIT C hereto (the "SUBSEQUENT PURCHASE AGREEMENT"), which shall
include a Subsequent List of Contracts listing the Subsequent Contracts

(iv) as of each Subsequent Transfer Date, neither the Seller nor
the Trust Depositor was insolvent nor will either of them have been made
insolvent by such transfer nor is either of them aware of any pending
insolvency;
(v) each Rating Agency shall have notified the Trust Depositor
and the Trustees in writing that following such transfer, and the transfer
immediately thereafter of the Subsequent Contracts to the Trust, the Class
A-1 Notes and the Class A-2 Notes will be rated in the highest rating
category by such Rating Agency and the Class B Notes will be rated at least
"A" by Standard & Poor's and "A2" by Xxxxx'x;
(vi) such addition will not result in a material adverse tax
consequence to the Issuer or the Noteholders as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel to be delivered by the Seller to the Issuer, the Trustees, and the
Underwriters;
(vii) the Seller shall have delivered to the Rating Agencies and
to the Underwriters one or more opinions of counsel with respect to the

or not such conveyance is actually consummated.
ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Seller makes the following representations and warranties, on which Trust
Depositor will rely in purchasing the initial Contract Assets on the Closing
Date (and any Subsequent Contracts on the related Subsequent Transfer Date) and
concurrently reconveying the same to the Trust, and on which the Trust and the
Noteholders will rely under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Such
representations speak as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and as
of the
-5-
Closing Date in the case of the Initial Contracts, and as of the applicable
Subsequent Transfer Date in the case of Subsequent Contracts, but shall survive
the sale, transfer and assignment of the Contracts to the Trust and the pledge
of the Contracts to the Indenture Trustee. The repurchase obligation of Seller
set forth in Section 5.01 below and in Section 7.08 of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement constitutes the sole remedy available for a breach of a representation
or warranty of Seller set forth in Section 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 of this Agreement.
SECTION 3.01. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES REGARDING SELLER. Seller
represents and warrants, as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and
as of the Closing Date, in the case of the Initial Contracts, and as of the
applicable Subsequent Transfer Date, in the case of Subsequent Contracts, that:
(a) ORGANIZATION AND GOOD STANDING. Seller is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization and has the corporate power to own its
assets and to transact the business in which it is currently engaged.
Seller is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in
good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the business
transacted by it or properties owned or leased by it requires such
qualification and in which the failure so to qualify would have a material
adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, or condition (financial
or otherwise) of Seller or Trust Depositor. Seller is properly licensed in
each jurisdiction to the extent required by the laws of such jurisdiction
to service the Contracts in accordance with the terms of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement.
(b) AUTHORIZATION; BINDING OBLIGATION. Seller has the power and
authority to make, execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and the
other Transaction Documents to which the Seller is a party and all of the
transactions contemplated under this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents to which the Seller is a party, and has taken all necessary
corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Seller is a
party. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the
Seller is a party constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of
Seller enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement of
such terms may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by the
availability of equitable remedies.
(c) NO CONSENT REQUIRED. Seller is not required to obtain the
consent of any other party or any consent, license, approval or
authorization from, or registration or declaration with, any governmental
authority, bureau or agency in connection with the execution, delivery,
performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents to which the Seller is a party.
(d) NO VIOLATIONS. Seller's execution, delivery and performance
of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the
Seller is a party will not violate any provision of any existing law or
regulation or any order or decree of any court
-6-
or the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of Seller, or constitute a
material breach of any mortgage, indenture, contract or other agreement to
which Seller is a party or by which Seller or any of Seller's properties
may be bound.
(e) LITIGATION. No litigation or administrative proceeding of or
before any court, tribunal or governmental body is currently pending, or to
the knowledge of Seller threatened, against Seller or any of its properties
or with respect to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to
which the Seller is a party which, if adversely determined, would in the
opinion of Seller have a material adverse effect on the business,
properties, assets or condition (financial or other) of Seller or the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document to which the Seller is a party.
(f) STATE OF INCORPORATION; NAME; NO CHANGES. Seller's state of
incorporation is the State of Nevada. Seller's exact legal name is as set
forth in the first paragraph of this Agreement. Seller has not changed its
name whether by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation, by
reorganization or otherwise, and has not changed its state of
incorporation, within the four months preceding the Closing Date.
(g) OPERATIONS. Approximately 5.0% of the aggregate principal
balance of contracts financed from time to time by the Seller are secured
by motorcycles manufactured by Buell.
(h) SOLVENCY. The Seller, after giving effect to the conveyances
made by it hereunder, is Solvent.
SECTION 3.02. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES REGARDING EACH CONTRACT.
Seller represents and warrants as to each Contract as of the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date, in the case of the
Initial Contracts, and as of the applicable Subsequent Transfer Date, in the
case of Subsequent Contracts, that:
(a) LIST OF CONTRACTS. The information set forth in the List of
Contracts (or Subsequent List of Contracts, in the case of Subsequent
Contracts) is true, complete and correct in all material respects as of the
Initial Cutoff Date or applicable Subsequent Cutoff Date, as the case may
be.
(b) PAYMENTS. As of the Initial Cutoff Date or applicable
Subsequent Cutoff Date, as the case may be, the most recent scheduled
payment with respect to any Contract either had been made or was not
delinquent for more than 30 days. To the best of Seller's knowledge, all
payments made on each Contract were made by the respective Obligor.
(c) NO WAIVERS. As of the Closing Date (or the applicable
Subsequent Transfer Date, in the case of Subsequent Contracts), the terms
of the Contracts have not
-7-
been waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by instruments or
documents included in the related Contract File.
(d) BINDING OBLIGATION. Each Contract is a legal, valid and
binding payment obligation of the Obligor thereunder and is enforceable in
accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
insolvency, bankruptcy, moratorium, reorganization, or other similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally.
(e) NO DEFENSES. No Contract is subject to any right of
rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of
usury, and the operation of any of the terms of such Contract or the
exercise of any right thereunder will not render the Contract unenforceable
in whole or in part or subject to any right of rescission, setoff,
counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and no such right
of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with
respect thereto.
(f) INSURANCE. As of the origination date of each Contract (or
the applicable Subsequent Transfer Date in the case of Subsequent
Contracts), the related Motorcycle securing each Contract is covered by
physical damage insurance (i) in an amount not less than the value of the
Motorcycle at the time of origination of the Contract, (ii) naming Seller
as a loss payee and (iii) insuring against loss and damage due to fire,
theft, transportation, collision and other risks covered by comprehensive
coverage, and all premiums due on such insurance have been paid in full
from the date of the Contract's origination.
(g) ORIGINATION. Each Contract was originated by a Harley-
Davidson motorcycle dealer in the regular course of its business which
dealer had all necessary licenses and permits to originate the Contracts in
the state where such dealer was located, was fully and properly executed by
the parties thereto, and has been purchased by Seller in the regular course
of its business. Each Contract was sold by such motorcycle dealer to the
Seller without any fraud or misrepresentation on the part of such
motorcycle dealer.
(h) LAWFUL ASSIGNMENT. No Contract was originated in or is
subject to the laws of any jurisdiction whose laws would make the sale,
transfer and assignment of the Contract under this Agreement or under the
Sale and Servicing Agreement or the pledge of the Contract under the
Indenture unlawful, void or voidable.
(i) COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. None of the Contracts, the origination
of the Contracts by the dealers, the purchase of the Contracts by the
Seller, the sale of the Contracts by the Seller to the Trust Depositor or
by the Trust Depositor to the Trust, or any combination of the foregoing,
violated at the time of origination or as of the Closing Date or as of any
Subsequent Transfer Date, as applicable, any requirement of any federal,
state or local law and regulations thereunder, including, without
limitation, usury,
-8-
truth in lending, motor vehicle installment loan and equal credit
opportunity laws, applicable to the Contracts and the sale of Motorcycles.
Seller shall, for at least the period of this Agreement, maintain in its
possession, available for the Trust Depositor's and the Trustees'
inspection, and shall deliver to Trust Depositor or the Trustee upon
demand, evidence of compliance with all such requirements.
(j) CONTRACT IN FORCE. As of the Closing Date (or the applicable
Subsequent Transfer Date in the case of Subsequent Contracts), no Contract
has been satisfied or subordinated in whole or in part or rescinded, and
the related Motorcycle securing any Contract has not been released from the
lien of the Contract in whole or in part.
(k) VALID SECURITY INTEREST. Each Contract creates a valid,
subsisting and enforceable first priority perfected security interest in
favor of Seller in the Motorcycle covered thereby, and such security
interest has been assigned by Seller to the Trust Depositor. The original
certificate of title, certificate of lien or other notification (the "LIEN
CERTIFICATE") issued by the body responsible for the registration of, and
the issuance of certificates of title relating to, motor vehicles and liens
thereon (the "REGISTRAR OF TITLES") of the applicable state to a secured
party which indicates the lien of the secured party on the Motorcycle is
recorded on the original certificate of title, and the original certificate
of title for each Motorcycle, show, or if a new or replacement Lien
Certificate is being applied for with respect to such Motorcycle the Lien
Certificate will be received within 180 days of the Closing Date (or the
applicable Subsequent Transfer Date in the case of Subsequent Contracts)
and will show, the Seller as original secured party under each Contract as
the holder of a first priority security interest in such Motorcycle. With
respect to each Contract for which the Lien Certificate has not yet been
returned from the Registrar of Titles, the Seller has received written
evidence from the related dealer that such Lien Certificate showing the
Seller as lienholder has been applied for. The Seller's security interest
has been validly assigned by the Seller to the Trust Depositor and by the
Trust Depositor to the Issuer and Owner Trustee pursuant to this Agreement.
Immediately after the sale, each Contract will be secured by an enforceable
and perfected first priority security interest in the Motorcycle in favor
of the Trust as secured party, which security interest is prior to all
other liens upon and security interests in such Motorcycle which now exist
or may hereafter arise or be created (except, as to priority, for any lien
for taxes, labor, materials or of any state law enforcement agency
affecting a Motorcycle).
(l) CAPACITY OF PARTIES. All parties to any Contract had
capacity to execute such Contract and all other documents related thereto
and to grant the security interest purported to be granted thereby.
(m) GOOD TITLE. Each Contract was purchased by Seller for value
and taken into possession prior to the Cutoff Date (or the applicable
Subsequent Cutoff Date in the case of Subsequent Contracts) in the ordinary
course of its business, without knowledge that the Contract was subject to
a security interest. No Contract has been sold, assigned
-9-
or pledged to any person other than Trust Depositor and the Trustee as the
transferee of Trust Depositor, and prior to the transfer of the Contract to
Trust Depositor, Seller had good and marketable title to each Contract free
and clear of any encumbrance, equity, loan, pledge, charge, claim or
security interest and was the sole owner thereof and had full right to
transfer the Contract to Trust Depositor and to permit Trust Depositor to
transfer the same to the Issuer and the Owner Trustee, and, as of the
Closing Date (or the applicable Subsequent Transfer Date in the case of
Subsequent Contracts), the Issuer and the Owner Trustee will have a first
priority perfected security interest therein.
(n) NO DEFAULTS. As of the Initial Cutoff Date (or the
applicable Subsequent Cutoff Date in the case of Subsequent Contracts), no
default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration existed with
respect to any Contract and no event had occurred which, with notice and
the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute such a
default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under such
Contract. Seller has not waived any such default, breach, violation or
event permitting acceleration, and Seller has not granted any extension of
payment terms on any Contract. As of the Initial Cutoff Date (or the
applicable Subsequent Cutoff Date in the case of Subsequent Contracts), no
Motorcycle had been repossessed.
(o) NO LIENS. As of the Closing Date (or the applicable
Subsequent Transfer Date in the case of Subsequent Contracts) there are, to
the best of Seller's knowledge, no liens or claims which have been filed
for work, labor or materials affecting the Motorcycle securing any Contract
which are or may be liens prior to, or equal with, the lien of such
Contract.
(p) INSTALLMENTS. Each Contract has a fixed Contract Rate and
provides for monthly payments of principal and interest which, if timely
made, would fully amortize the loan on a simple-interest basis over its
term.
(q) ENFORCEABILITY. Each Contract contains customary and
enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the
holder thereof adequate for the realization against the collateral of the
benefits of the security.
(r) ONE ORIGINAL. Each Contract is evidenced by only one
original executed Contract, which original has been delivered to the Issuer
and the Owner Trustee or its designee on or before the Closing Date (or the
applicable Subsequent Transfer Date in the case of Subsequent Contracts).
(s) NO GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS. No Obligor is the United States
government or an agency, authority, instrumentality or other political
subdivision of the United States government.
(t) LOCKBOX BANK. The Lockbox Bank is the only institution
holding any Lockbox Account for receipt of payments from Obligors, and all
Obligors, and only such
-10-
Obligors, have been instructed to make payments to the Lockbox Account, and
no person claiming through or under Seller has any claim or interest in the
Lockbox Account other than the Lockbox Bank; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that other
"Trusts" (as defined in the Lockbox Agreement) shall have an interest in
certain other collections therein not related to the Contracts.
(u) OBLIGOR BANKRUPTCY. At the Cutoff Date (or the applicable
Subsequent Cutoff Date in the case of Subsequent Contracts), no Obligor was
subject to a bankruptcy proceeding within the one year preceding such
Cutoff Date.
(v) CHATTEL PAPER. The Contracts constitute tangible chattel
paper within the meaning of the UCC.
(w) NO IMPAIRMENT. Neither the Seller nor the Trust Depositor
has done anything to convey any right to any Person that would result in
such Person having a right to payments due under the Contract or otherwise
to impair the rights of the Trust in any Contract or the proceeds thereof.
(x) CONTRACT NOT ASSUMABLE. No Contract is assumable by another
Person in a manner which would release the Obligor thereof from such
Obligor's obligations to the Trust Depositor with respect to such Contract.
SECTION 3.03. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES REGARDING THE CONTRACTS IN
THE AGGREGATE. Seller represents and warrants, as of the execution and delivery
of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date, in the case of the Initial
Contracts, and, if applicable, as of the applicable Subsequent Transfer Date, in
the case of Subsequent Contracts, that:
(a) AMOUNTS. The sum of the aggregate Principal Balances
payable by Obligors under the Contracts as of the Initial Cutoff Date (or
the applicable Subsequent Cutoff Date in the case of Subsequent Contracts),
plus the Pre-Funded Amount as of such date, equals the sum of the principal
balance of the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes and the Class B Notes
on the Closing Date or the related Subsequent Transfer Date, as applicable.
(b) CHARACTERISTICS. The Initial Contracts have the following
characteristics: (i) all the Contracts are secured by Motorcycles; (ii) no
Initial Contract has a remaining maturity of more than 84 months; and (iii)
