Contracts listed on the Subsequent List of Contracts (including, without
limitation, all security interests and all rights to receive payments which

granting of a security interest to secure a borrowing, and that the Trust
Corpus following such transfer shall not be property of the Trust Depositor,
in the event such transfer is deemed to be of a mere security interest to
secure a borrowing, the Trust Depositor shall be deemed to have granted the
Owner Trustee for the benefit of the Trust a perfected first priority
security interest in such Trust Corpus and this Agreement shall constitute a
security agreement under applicable law.
(b) The Trust Depositor shall transfer to the Trust the Subsequent
Contracts and the other property and rights related thereto described in
paragraph (a) above only upon the satisfaction of each of the following
conditions on or prior to the related Subsequent Transfer Date:

deposited in the Collection Account all collections received with
respect to the Subsequent Contracts on or after the related Subsequent

Subsequent Transfer Date shall have been deposited by the Indenture
Trustee from the Pre-Funding Account to the Reserve Fund;

following the transfer of the Subsequent Contracts, does not exceed 75
months;
(xiii) the Trust Depositor shall have delivered to the Rating
Agencies, a report with respect to certain agreed-upon procedures
relating to the Subsequent Contracts being transferred, confirming that
procedures were performed substantially similar to such procedures as
were performed in connection with the transfer of the Initial
Contracts;
(xiv) each of the representations and warranties made by the
Seller pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Transfer and Sale Agreement with
respect to the Subsequent Receivables shall be true and correct as of
the related Subsequent Transfer Date, and the Seller shall have
performed all obligations to be performed by it hereunder on or prior
to such Subsequent Transfer Date;
24
(xv) the Seller shall, at its own expense, on or prior to the
Subsequent Transfer Date indicate in its Computer Disk that the
Subsequent Receivables identified on the Subsequent List of Contracts
in the Subsequent Transfer Agreement have been sold to the Issuer
pursuant to this Agreement and the Transfer and Sale Agreement; and
(xvi) the Seller shall have taken any action required to
maintain the first perfected ownership interest of the Issuer in the
Trust Estate and the first perfected security interest of the Indenture
Trustee in the Collateral.
(c) The Trust Depositor covenants to transfer (at or prior to the
end of the Funding Period) to the Trust pursuant thereto Subsequent Contracts
with an aggregate Principal Balance equal to $72,620,486.09; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that in complying with such covenant, the Trust Depositor agrees to
make no more than one separate transfer of Subsequent Contracts per monthly
period (as measured by the corresponding Distribution Dates). In the event
that the Trust Depositor shall fail to deliver and sell to the Trust any or
all of such Subsequent Receivables by the date on which the Funding Period
ends and the Pre-Funded Amount is greater than $150,000 on such date, the
Trust Depositor shall cause to be deposited into the Collection Account the
amount then on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
the foregoing shall be the sole remedy of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee or the Securityholders with respect to a failure of the
Trust Depositor to comply with such covenant.

(b) The Servicer agrees to maintain the related Contract Files at
its offices where they are currently maintained, or at such other offices of
the Servicer in the State of Nevada as shall from time to time be identified
to the Trustees by written notice. The Servicer may temporarily move
individual Contract Files or any portion thereof without notice as necessary
to conduct collection and other servicing activities in accordance with its
customary practices and procedures; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Servicer will
take all action necessary to maintain the perfection of the Trust's interest
in the Contracts and the proceeds thereof. It is intended that by the
Servicer's agreement pursuant to Section 4.01(a) above and this Section
4.01(b) the Trustees shall be deemed to have possession of the Contract Files

(vi) within 30 days of the Closing Date (or Subsequent
Transfer Date, as the case may be) deliver an Officer's Certificate to
the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee certifying that as of a
date no earlier than the Closing Date (or Subsequent Transfer Date, as
the case may be) it has conducted an inventory of the Contract Files
(which in the case of Subsequent Contracts, need be only of the
Contract Files related to such Subsequent Contracts) and that there
exists a Contract File for each Contract and stating all exceptions to
such statement, if any; and
(vii) within 185 days of the Closing Date (or Subsequent
Transfer Date, as the case may be) deliver an Officer's Certificate to
the Owner Trustee listing each Contract with respect to which there did
not exist as of 180 days of the Closing Date (or Subsequent Transfer

(d) In performing its duties under this Section 4.01, the Servicer
agrees to act with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and care that
it exercises with respect to similar contracts for the installment purchase

degree of skill and care than would be exercised by a prudent servicer of
motorcycle conditional sales contracts. The Servicer shall promptly report to
the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee any failure by it to hold the
Contract Files as herein provided and shall promptly take appropriate action
to remedy any such failure. In acting as custodian of the Contract Files, the

interest in the Contracts or the Contract Files, except as provided in
Section 5.06. The Servicer agrees to indemnify the Noteholders, the
Certificateholder, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee for any and
all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, payments, costs, or expenses
of any kind whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against the Noteholders, the Certificateholder, the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee as the result of any act or omission by the Servicer
relating to the maintenance and custody of the Contract Files; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Servicer will not be liable for any portion of any such
amount resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any
Noteholder, Certificateholder, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee.
The Trustees shall have no duty to monitor or otherwise oversee the
Servicer's performance as custodian hereunder.

shall cause the UCC financing statement(s) referred to in Section 2.02(g)
hereof to be filed and from time to time the Servicer shall take and cause to

desirable or as the Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee may reasonably request
to perfect and protect the Trust's first priority perfected interest in the
Trust Corpus against all other persons, including, without limitation, the

statements, the execution of transfer instruments and the making of notations

giving at least 30 days' prior written notice to the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee.
(b) If any change in either the Seller's or the Trust Depositor's
name, identity or structure or other action would make any financing or
continuation statement or notice of lien filed under this Agreement seriously
misleading within the meaning of applicable provisions of the UCC or any
title statute, the Servicer, no later than five days after the effective date
of such change, shall file such amendments as may be required to preserve and
protect the Trust's interests in the Trust Corpus and the proceeds thereof.
In addition, neither the Seller nor the Trust Depositor shall change its
place of business (within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC) from the
location specified in SECTION 11.04 unless it has first taken such action as
is advisable or necessary to preserve and protect the Trust's interest in the
Trust Corpus. Promptly after taking any of the foregoing actions, the
Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an
opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all financing
statements or amendments necessary to preserve and protect the interests of
the Trust in the Trust Corpus and the Indenture Trustee in the Collateral
have been filed, and reciting the details of such filing.

will have the sole obligation to manage, administer, service and make
collections on the Contracts and

written request of a Servicing Officer, shall furnish the Servicer with any
powers of attorney or other documents necessary or appropriate in the opinion

administrative duties hereunder. The Servicer is hereby appointed the

servicing and making collections on the Contracts pursuant to this Agreement,
the Servicer will exercise that degree of skill and care consistent with the
skill and care that the Servicer exercises with respect to similar contracts
serviced by the Servicer, and, in any event no less degree of skill and care
than would be exercised by a prudent servicer of motorcycle conditional sales
contracts; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Servicer shall not release or waive the right to collect the unpaid balance
of any Contract except that with respect to a Contract that has become a
Defaulted Contract, the Servicer, consistent with its collection policies,
may release or waive the right to collect the unpaid balance of such
Defaulted Contract in an effort to maximize collections thereon.

personnel to assist in any examination of such records by the Owner Trustee
or the Indenture Trustee, or such authorized agents and allow copies of the
same to be made. The examination referred to in this Section will be
conducted in a manner which does not unreasonably interfere with the
Servicer's normal operations or customer or employee relations. Without
otherwise limiting the scope of the examination the Owner Trustee or the
Indenture Trustee may, using generally accepted audit procedures, verify the
status of each Contract and review the Computer Disk and records relating
thereto for conformity to Monthly Reports prepared pursuant to Article IX and
compliance with the standards represented to exist as to each Contract in

gains, income and earnings on investments of funds in the Trust
Accounts (except the Reserve Fund and the Pre-Funding Account) as
contemplated herein.
(c) The Indenture Trustee shall, if amounts remain on deposit in the
Pre-Funding Account at the expiration of the Funding Period, make a demand,
immediately upon expiration of the Funding Period, upon the Trust Depositor
to cause to be deposited into the Collection Account the amount then in
deposit in the Pre-Funding Account.
(d) If the Servicer so directs, in writing, the Indenture Trustee
shall invest the amounts in the Trust Accounts in Qualified Eligible
Investments that are payable on demand or that mature not later than one
Business Day prior to the next succeeding Distribution Date. Once such funds
are invested, the Indenture Trustee shall not change the investment of such
funds. Any loss on such investments shall be deposited in the applicable
Trust Account by the Servicer out of its own funds immediately as realized.
Funds in the Trust Accounts not so invested must be insured to the extent
permitted by law by the Bank Insurance Fund or the Savings Association
Insurance Fund of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Subject to the
restrictions herein, the Indenture Trustee may purchase a Qualified Eligible
Investment from itself or an Affiliate. Subject to the other provisions
hereof, the Indenture Trustee shall have sole control over each such
investment and the income thereon, and any certificate or other instrument
evidencing any such investment, if any, shall be delivered directly to the
Indenture Trustee or its agent, together
33
with each document of transfer, if any, necessary to transfer title to such
investment to the Indenture Trustee in a manner which complies with this
Section 5.05(d). All interest, dividends, gains upon sale and other income
from, or earnings on, investments of funds in the Trust Accounts (other than
the Reserve Fund and the Pre-Funding Account) shall be deposited in the
Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.05(b) and distributed on the next
Distribution Date pursuant to Section 7.05. The Trust Depositor and the Trust
agree and acknowledge that the Indenture Trustee is to have "CONTROL" (within
the meaning of Section 8-102 of the UCC as enacted in Illinois) of collateral
comprised of "INVESTMENT PROPERTY" (within the meaning of Section 9-115 of
the UCC as enacted in Illinois) for all purposes of this Agreement.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Servicer
may remit payments on the Contracts and Net Liquidation Proceeds to the
Collection Account in next-day funds or immediately available funds no later
than 10:00 a.m., Central time, on the Business Day prior to the next
succeeding Distribution Date, but only for so long as (i) the short-term debt
security rating of the Servicer is at least "P-1" by Xxxxx'x and "A-1+" by
Standard & Poor's or (ii) the long-term debt security rating of the Servicer
is at least "A2" by Xxxxx'x and "A" by Standard & Poor's.
(f) The Servicer shall apply collections received in respect of a
Contract as follows:
(i) First, to accrued interest with respect to such
Contract;
(ii) Second, to pay any expenses and unpaid late charges or
extension fees (if any) due and owing under such Contract; and
(iii) Third, to principal to the extent due and owing under
such Contract.
(g) Any collections on a Contract remaining after application by the
Servicer in accordance with the provisions of SECTION 5.05(e) shall
constitute an excess payment (an "EXCESS PAYMENT"). Excess Payments
constituting prepayments of principal shall be applied as a prepayment of the
Principal Balance of such Contract. All other Excess Payments shall be
permitted to be retained by the Servicer.
(h) The Servicer will, from time to time as provided herein, be
permitted to withdraw or request the withdrawal from the Collection Account
any amount deposited therein that, based on the Servicer's good-faith
determination, was deposited in error.
SECTION 5.06. ENFORCEMENT. (a) The Servicer will, consistent with
SECTION 5.02, act with respect to the Contracts in such manner as will maximize
the receipt of all payments called for under the terms of the Contracts. The
Servicer shall use its best efforts to cause Obligors to make all payments on
the Contracts directly to the Lockbox Account. The Servicer will act in a
commercially reasonable manner with respect to the repossession and disposition
of a Motorcycle following a default under the related Contract with a view to
realizing proceeds at least equal to the Motorcycle's fair market value. If the
Servicer determines that eventual payment in full of a Contract is unlikely, the
Servicer will follow its normal practices and
34
procedures to recover all amounts due upon that Contract, including
repossessing and disposing of the related Motorcycle at a public or private
sale or taking other action permitted by applicable law. The Servicer will be
entitled to recover all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it in
liquidating a Contract and disposing of the related Motorcycle.
(b) The Servicer may xxx to enforce or collect upon Contracts, in
its own name, if possible, or as agent for the Trustees. If the Servicer
elects to commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Contract, the act of
commencement shall be deemed to be an automatic assignment of the Contract to
the Servicer for purposes of collection only. If, however, in any enforcement
suit or legal proceeding it is held that the Servicer may not enforce a
Contract on the ground that it is not a real party in interest or a holder
entitled to enforce the Contract, the Owner Trustee (or the Indenture
Trustee) on behalf of the Trust shall, at the Servicer's expense, take such
steps as the Servicer deems reasonably necessary to enforce the Contract,
including bringing suit in its name or the names of the Noteholders under the
Indenture and the Certificateholder as owner of the Trust.
(c) The Servicer shall exercise any rights of recourse against third
persons that exist with respect to any Contract in accordance with the
Servicer's usual practice. In exercising recourse rights, the Servicer is
authorized on the Trust's behalf to reassign the Defaulted Contract or the
related Motorcycle to the Person against whom recourse exists at the price
set forth in the document creating the recourse; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the
Servicer in exercising recourse against any third persons as described in the
immediately preceding sentence shall do so in such manner as to maximize the
aggregate recovery with respect to the Contract; and PROVIDED FURTHER,
HOWEVER, that notwithstanding the foregoing the Servicer in its capacity as
such may exercise such recourse only if such Contract (i) was not required to
be repurchased by the Seller pursuant to the Transfer and Sale Agreement or
(ii) was required to be repurchased by the Seller and the Seller has
defaulted on such repurchase obligation.
(d) The Servicer will not permit any rescission or cancellation of
any Contract due to the acts or omissions of the Trust Depositor.
(e) The Servicer may grant to the Obligor on any Contract an
extension of payments due under such Contract; PROVIDED that (i) the
extension period is limited to 45 days, (ii) the Obligor has not received an
extension during the previous twelve-month period, (iii) the evidence
supports the Obligor's willingness and capability to resume monthly payments,
(iv) such extension is consistent with the Servicer's customary servicing
procedures and is consistent with Section 5.02, (v) such extension does not
extend the maturity date of the Contract beyond the latest maturity date of
any of the Contracts as of the Initial Cutoff Date (or, if a transfer of
Subsequent Contracts to the Trust occurs, beyond the latest maturity date of
such Subsequent Contracts) and (vi) the aggregate Principal Balances of
Contracts which have had extensions granted does not exceed more than 3.00%
of the aggregate of the Initial Class A-1 Note Balance, the Initial Class A-2
Note Balance and the Initial Class B Note Balance.
(f) The Servicer will not add to the outstanding Principal Balance
of any Contract the premium of any physical damage or other individual
insurance on a Motorcycle securing such
35
Contract it obtains on behalf of the Obligor under the terms of such
Contract, but may create a separate Obligor obligation with respect to such
premium if and as provided by the Contract.
(g) If the Servicer shall have repossessed a Motorcycle on behalf of
the Trust, the Servicer shall either (i) maintain at its expense physical
damage insurance with respect to such Motorcycle, or (ii) indemnify the Trust
against any damage to such Motorcycle prior to resale or other disposition.
The Servicer shall not allow such repossessed Motorcycles to be used in an
active trade or business, but rather shall dispose of the Motorcycle in a
reasonable time in accordance with the Servicer's normal business practices.
SECTION 5.07. TRUSTEES TO COOPERATE. Upon payment in full on any
Contract, the Servicer will notify the Trustees and the Trust Depositor on
the next succeeding Distribution Date by certification of a Servicing Officer
(which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts
received in connection with such payments which are required to be deposited
in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.05 have been so deposited)
and shall (if the Servicer is not then in possession of the Contracts and
Contract Files) request delivery of the Contract and Contract File to the
Servicer. Upon receipt of such delivery and request, the Trustees shall
promptly release or cause to be released such Contract and Contract File to
the Servicer. Upon receipt of such Contract and Contract File, each of the
Trust Depositor and the Servicer is authorized to execute an instrument in
satisfaction of such Contract and to do such other acts and execute such
other documents as the Servicer deems necessary to discharge the Obligor
thereunder and eliminate the security interest in the Motorcycle related
thereto. The Servicer shall determine when a Contract has been paid in full;
to the extent that insufficient payments are received on a Contract credited
by the Servicer as prepaid or paid in full and satisfied, the shortfall shall
be paid by the Servicer out of its own funds. From time to time as
appropriate for servicing and repossession in connection with any Contract,
if the Servicer is not then in possession of the Contracts and Contract
Files, the Indenture Trustee shall, upon written request of a Servicing
Officer and delivery to the Indenture Trustee of a receipt signed by such
Servicing Officer, cause the original Contract and the related Contract File
to be released to the Servicer and shall execute such documents as the
Servicer shall deem reasonably necessary to the prosecution of any such
proceedings. Such receipt shall obligate the Servicer to return the original
Contract and the related Contract File to the Indenture Trustee when the need
by the Servicer has ceased unless the Contract shall be repurchased as
described in Section 7.10. Upon request of a Servicing Officer, the Indenture
Trustee shall perform such other acts as reasonably requested by the Servicer
and otherwise cooperate with the Servicer in the enforcement of the
Certificateholder's rights and remedies with respect to Contracts.
SECTION 5.08. COSTS AND EXPENSES. All costs and expenses incurred by
the Servicer in carrying out its duties hereunder, fees and expenses of
accountants and payments of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with
the enforcement of Contracts (including enforcement of defaulted Contracts
and repossessions of Motorcycles securing such Contracts when such Contracts
are not repurchased pursuant to Section 7.08) and all other fees and expenses
not expressly stated hereunder to be for the account of the Trust shall be
paid by the Servicer and the Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement
hereunder.
36
SECTION 5.09. MAINTENANCE OF SECURITY INTERESTS IN MOTORCYCLES. The
Servicer shall take such steps as are necessary to maintain continuous
perfection and the first priority of the security interest created by each
Contract in the related Motorcycle. The Owner Trustee and the Indenture
Trustee hereby authorize the Servicer to take such steps as are necessary to
perfect such security interest and to maintain the first priority thereof in
the event of a relocation of a Motorcycle or for any other reason.
SECTION 5.10. SUCCESSOR SERVICER/LOCKBOX AGREEMENTS. The Servicer
shall use its best efforts to cause Obligors to make all payments on the
Contracts directly to one or more Lockbox Banks, acting as agent for the
Trust pursuant to a Lockbox Agreement. In the event the Servicer shall for
any reason no longer be acting as such, the Successor Servicer shall
thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the outgoing servicer
under the Lockbox Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Successor Servicer
shall not be liable for any acts or obligations of the Servicer prior to such
succession. In such event, the Successor Servicer shall be deemed to have
assumed all of the outgoing Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced
the outgoing Servicer as a party to each such Lockbox Agreement to the same
extent as if such Lockbox Agreement had been assigned to the Successor
Servicer, except that the outgoing Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of
any liability or obligations on the part of the outgoing Servicer to the
Lockbox Bank under such Lockbox Agreement. The outgoing Servicer shall, upon
the request of the Owner Trustee, but at the expense of the outgoing
Servicer, deliver to the Successor Servicer all documents and records
relating to each such Lockbox Agreement and an accounting of amounts
collected and held by the Lockbox Bank and otherwise use its best efforts to
effect the orderly and efficient transfer of any Lockbox Agreement to the
Successor Servicer.
SECTION 5.11. SEPARATE ENTITY EXISTENCE. The Servicer agrees to take
or refrain from taking or engaging in with respect to the Trust Depositor, as
applicable, each of the actions or activities specified in the "substantive
consolidation" opinion of Winston & Xxxxxx (or in any related Certificate of
the Servicer) delivered on the Closing Date, upon which the conclusions
expressed therein are based.

and each such entity shall bear its fair share of such costs. To the
extent that the Trust Depositor contracts or does business with
vendors or service providers when the goods and services provided are
partially for the benefit of any other Person, the costs incurred in
so doing shall be fairly allocated to or among such entities for whose
benefit the goods and services are provided, and each such entity

conclusions expressed therein are based.
SECTION 6.02. LIABILITY OF TRUST DEPOSITOR; INDEMNITIES. The Trust
Depositor shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the
obligations specifically undertaken by the Trust Depositor under this Agreement.
The Trust Depositor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
Issuer, the Owner Trustee, WTC, the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer from and
against any taxes that may at any time be asserted against any such Person with
respect to the transactions contemplated herein and in the other Transaction
Documents, including any sales, gross receipts, general corporation, tangible
personal property, Illinois personal property replacement privilege or license
taxes (but, in the case of the Issuer, not including any taxes asserted with
respect to, and as of the date of, the sale of the Contracts to the Issuer or
the issuance and original sale of the Securities, or asserted with respect to
ownership of the Contracts, or federal or other income taxes arising out of
distributions on the Certificate or the Notes) and costs and expenses in
defending against the same.
The Trust Depositor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
Issuer, the Owner Trustee, WTC, the Indenture Trustee and the Securityholders
from and against any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of the Trust
Depositor's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence (other than errors in
judgment) in the performance of its duties under this Agreement, or by reason
of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.
The Trust Depositor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
Issuer, the Owner Trustee, WTC and the Indenture Trustee from and against all
costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages and liabilities arising out of or
incurred in connection with the acceptance or performance of the trusts and
duties herein and, in the case of the Owner Trustee, in the Trust Agreement
and, in the case of the Indenture Trustee, in the Indenture, except to the
extent that such cost, expense, loss, claim, damage or liability in the case of
(i) the Owner Trustee or WTC, as the case may be, shall be due to the willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Owner Trustee or WTC, as the case
may be, or shall arise from the breach by the Owner Trustee or WTC, as the case
may be, of any of its representations or warranties set forth in Section 7.03
of the Trust Agreement, or (ii) the Indenture Trustee, shall be due to the
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Indenture Trustee.
The Trust Depositor shall be liable directly to and will indemnify any
injured party or any other creditor of the Trust for all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and expenses of the Trust to the extent that Trust
Depositor would be liable if the Trust were a partnership under the Delaware
Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act in which Trust Depositor were a general
partner; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Trust Depositor shall not be liable for any
losses incurred by a Certificateholder in the capacity of an investor in the
Trust Certificate or a Noteholder in the capacity of an investor in the Notes.
In addition, any third party creditors of the Trust (other than in connection
with the obligations described in the immediately preceding sentence for which
40
Trust Depositor shall not be liable) shall be deemed third party beneficiaries
of this paragraph. The obligations of Trust Depositor under this paragraph
shall be evidenced by the Trust Certificate described in the Trust Agreement.
Indemnification under this Section shall include, without limitation,
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation and shall
survive the termination of the Trust and the resignation or removal of the
Trustees. If the Trust Depositor shall have made any indemnity payments
pursuant to this Section and the Person to or on behalf of whom such payments
are made thereafter shall collect any of such amounts from others, such Person
shall promptly repay such amounts to the Trust Depositor, without interest.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the obligations of
the Trust Depositor under this Section are solely the corporate obligations of
the Trust Depositor and shall be payable by it solely as provided in this
Section. The Trust Depositor shall only be required to make such contributions
required under this Section, (y) from funds available to it pursuant to, and in
accordance with the payment priorities set forth in SECTION 7.05 and (z) only
to the extent that it receives additional funds designated for such purposes or
to the extent that it has additional funds available (other than funds
described in the preceding clause (y)) that would be in excess of amounts that
would be necessary to pay the debt and other obligations of such entity
incurred in accordance with its certificate of incorporation and all financing
documents to which it is a party as they come due. In addition , no amount
owing by the Trust Depositor hereunder in excess of the liabilities that it is
required to pay in accordance with the preceding sentence shall constitute a
"claim" (as defined in Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code) against it. No
recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing hereunder or any
other obligation of, or claim against the Trust Depositor arising out of or
based up on this Section against any stockholder, employee, officer, agent,
director or authorized person of the Trust Depositor or Affiliate thereof;
provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve any such person or
entity of any liability they might otherwise have as a result of fraudulent
actions or omissions taken by them.
SECTION 6.03. MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF, OR ASSUMPTION OF THE
OBLIGATIONS OF, TRUST DEPOSITOR; CERTAIN LIMITATIONS. Notwithstanding any other
provision in this Section and any provision of law, the Trust Depositor shall
not do any of the following:
(a) engage in any business or activity other than as set forth
in its Articles of Incorporation;
(b) without the affirmative vote of a majority of the members

directors) (i) dissolve or liquidate, in whole or in part, or institute
proceedings to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, (ii) consent to
the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it,
(iii) file a petition seeking or consent to reorganization or relief
under any applicable federal or state law relating to bankruptcy, (iv)
consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee,
trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the corporation or
a substantial part of its
41
property, (v) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors,
(vi) admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they
become due, or (vii) take any corporate action in furtherance of the
actions set forth in clauses (i) through (vi) above; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that no director may be required by any shareholder of the Trust
Depositor to consent to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency
proceedings against the Trust Depositor so long as it is solvent; or
(c) merge or consolidate with any other corporation, company
or entity or sell all or substantially all of its assets or acquire all
or substantially all of the assets or capital stock or other ownership
interest of any other corporation, company or entity unless the Person
formed by such consolidation or into which the Trust Depositor has
merged or the Person which acquires by conveyance, transfer or lease
substantially all the assets of the Trust Depositor as an entirety, can
lawfully perform the obligations of the Trust Depositor hereunder and
executes and delivers to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an
agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Owner
Trustee and the Indenture Trustee which contains an assumption by such
successor entity of the due and punctual performance and observance of
each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by the Trust
Depositor under this Agreement; PROVIDED that the Trust Depositor shall
provide notice of any merger, consolidation or succession pursuant to
this Section to each Rating Agency and shall receive from each Rating
Agency a letter to the effect that such merger, consolidation or
succession will not result in a qualification, downgrading or
withdrawal of the then-current ratings of each Class of Notes.
SECTION 6.04. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF TRUST DEPOSITOR AND OTHERS.
The Trust Depositor and any director or officer or employee or agent of the
Trust Depositor may rely in good faith on any document of any kind, prima facie
properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising
hereunder. The Trust Depositor and any director or officer or employee or agent
of the Trust Depositor shall be reimbursed by the Owner Trustee or the
Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, for any contractual damages, liability
or expense incurred by reason of the Owner Trustee's or the Indenture Trustee's
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence (except errors in judgment) in the
performance of their respective duties hereunder, or by reason of reckless
disregard of their respective obligations and duties hereunder. The Trust
Depositor shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend
any legal action that shall not be incidental to its obligations under this
Agreement, and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability.
SECTION 6.05. TRUST DEPOSITOR NOT TO RESIGN. Subject to the provisions
of Section 6.03, the Trust Depositor shall not resign from the obligations and
duties hereby imposed on it as Trust Depositor hereunder.

DISTRIBUTIONS; RESERVE FUND
SECTION 7.01. MONTHLY DISTRIBUTIONS. (a) Each Noteholder and
Certificateholder as of the related Record Date shall be paid on the next
succeeding Distribution Date by check mailed to such Noteholder or
Certificateholder at the address for such Noteholder or Certificateholder
appearing on the Note Register or Certificate Register or by wire transfer if
such Noteholder or Certificateholder provides written instructions to the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, respectively, at least ten days prior
to such Distribution Date.
(b) The Indenture Trustee shall serve as the paying agent hereunder
(the "PAYING AGENT") and shall make the payments to or on behalf of the
Noteholders and the Certificateholder required hereunder. The Indenture Trustee
hereby agrees that all amounts held by it for payment hereunder will be held in
trust for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholder.
SECTION 7.02. FEES. The Indenture Trustee shall be paid the Indenture
Trustee Fee and the Servicer shall be paid the Monthly Servicing Fee, each of
which shall be paid solely from the monies and in accordance with the
priorities described in Section 7.05(a). No recourse may be had to the Seller,
Trust Depositor, Trustees, Servicer, or any of their respective Affiliates in
the event that amounts available under Section 7.05(a) are insufficient for
payment of the Indenture Trustee's Fee and the Monthly Servicing Fee.
SECTION 7.03. ADVANCES; REALIZATION OF CARRYING CHARGE. (a) On each
Determination Date, the Servicer shall compute the amount of Delinquent
Interest, if any, on the Contracts for the immediately preceding Due Period.
Not later than each Determination Date, the Servicer shall advance (each, an
"ADVANCE") an amount equal to the Delinquent Interest for such Determination
Date by depositing such amount in the Collection Account; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that the Servicer shall be obligated to advance Delinquent Interest only to the
extent that the Servicer, in its sole discretion, expects that such advance
will not become an Uncollectible Advance. The Servicer shall indicate on each
Monthly Report (i) the amount of Delinquent Interest, if any, on the Contracts
for the related Due Period and (ii) the amount of the Advance, if any, made by
the Servicer in respect of the Delinquent Interest pursuant to this Section
7.03. If the amount of such Advance is less than the amount of the Delinquent
Interest, the relevant Monthly Report shall be accompanied by a certificate of
a Servicing Officer setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the
determination by the Servicer that the portion of the Delinquent Interest not
advanced would become an Uncollectible Advance. By each Determination Date, the
Servicer shall determine the amount of prior unreimbursed Advances for which it
shall be entitled to be reimbursed pursuant to the provisions of this Section
(such amount, the "REIMBURSEMENT AMOUNT"). The Servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed for any outstanding Advance with respect to a Contract by means of a
first priority withdrawal from the Collection Account of such Reimbursement
Amount as provided in Section 7.05(a)(ii).

then on deposit) into the Collection Account as contemplated in Section
5.05(b)(vi) hereof.

"Pre-Funding Account").
(b) During the Funding Period, following receipt from the Trust
Depositor of an Addition Notice, and upon further receipt of a written demand
from the Trust Depositor for a disbursement of funds from the Pre-Funding
Account to be made on or before the date on which the Funding Period terminates
(which written demand must be delivered not later than one Business Day prior
to the requested date of funding and must be accompanied by the written consent
of the Indenture Trustee), the Indenture Trustee will disburse the amount

for funding as described above has not been received requesting funding on such
date) the Indenture Trustee shall immediately transfer all funds remaining in
the Pre-Funding Account to the Note Distribution Account.
(c) If (x) the Pre-Funded Amount has not been reduced to zero on the
Distribution Date on which the Funding Period ends (or, if the Funding Period
does not end on a Distribution Date, on the first Distribution Date following
the end of the Funding Period) or (y) the Pre-Funded Amount has been reduced to
$150,000 or less on any Determination Date, in either case after giving effect
to any reductions in the Pre-Funded Amount on such Distribution Date or
48
Determination Date pursuant to paragraph (a) above, the Trust Depositor shall
instruct the Indenture Trustee to withdraw from the Pre-Funding Account the
Pre-Funded Amount and, in the case of (x), on such Distribution Date or, in the
Determination Date (i) if the Pre-Funded Amount is less than $150,000, deposit
the Pre-Funded Amount in the Note Distribution Account for payment as principal
of the Class A-1 Notes up to the Outstanding Amount thereof and then for
payment of principal of the Class A-2 Notes and Class B Notes and (ii) if the
Pre-Funded Amount is equal to or greater than $150,000, deposit the Pre-Funded
Amount in the Note Distribution Account for payment as principal of the Notes,
pro rata, calculated on the then current principal balance of each Class of
Notes.
SECTION 7.08. REPURCHASES OF CONTRACTS FOR BREACH OF REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES.
Upon a discovery by the Servicer, the Trust Depositor or the Trustees
of a breach of a representation or warranty of the Seller as set forth in
EXHIBIT J hereto or as made in any Subsequent Purchase Agreement relating to
Subsequent Contracts that materially adversely affects the Trust's interest in
such Contract (without regard to the benefits of the Reserve Fund), the party
discovering the breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties;
PROVIDED, that the Trustees shall have no duty or obligation to inquire or to
investigate the breach by the Seller of any of such representations or
warranties. The Seller, as provided in the Transfer and Sale Agreement and in
accordance with this Section 7.08, shall repurchase a Contract at its
Repurchase Price, two Business Days prior to the first Determination Date after
the Seller becomes aware, or should have become aware, or receives written
notice from the Trustee, the Servicer or the Trust Depositor of any breach of a
representation or warranty of the Seller set forth in Article III of the
Transfer and Sale Agreement that materially and adversely affects such Contract
or the Trust's interest in such Contract and which breach has not been cured;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that with respect to any Contract incorrectly described on
the List of Contracts with respect to unpaid Principal Balance which the Seller
would otherwise be required to repurchase under the Transfer and Sale
Agreement, the Seller may, in lieu of repurchasing such Contract, deposit in
the Collection Account not later than one Business Day after such Determination
Date cash in an amount sufficient to cure such deficiency or discrepancy; and
PROVIDED FURTHER that with respect to a breach of representation or warranty
relating to the Contracts in the aggregate and not to any particular Contract
the Seller may select Contracts (without adverse selection) to repurchase such
that had such Contracts not been included as part of the Trust Corpus there
would have been no breach of such representation or warranty; PROVIDED FURTHER
that (a) the failure of a Contract File to be complete or of the original
certificate of title and evidence of recordation of such certificate to be
included in the Contract File as of 180 days after the Closing Date (or
Subsequent Transfer Date, in the case of Subsequent Contracts) or (b) the
failure to maintain perfection of the security interest in the Motorcycle
securing a Contract in accordance with Section 5.09, shall be deemed to be a
breach materially and adversely affecting the Trust's interest in the Contract
or in the related Contracts. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, the obligation of the Seller under the Transfer and Sale Agreement
and described in this Section 7.08 shall not terminate or be deemed released by
any party hereto upon a Service Transfer pursuant to Article VIII. The
repurchase obligation described in this Section 7.08 is in no way to be
satisfied with monies in the Reserve Fund.
49

certificate of a Servicing Officer in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT G,
the Indenture Trustee shall release its lien on and the Trust shall assign to

of the Trustees.
SECTION 7.10. SELLER'S REPURCHASE OPTION. As provided in the Transfer
and Sale Agreement, on written notice to the Indenture Trustee at least 20 days
prior to a Distribution Date, and provided that the Pool Balance is then less
than 10% of the Aggregate Principal Balance as of the Closing Date, and
provided a valuation letter is delivered as required in Section 5.02 of the
Transfer and Sale Agreement, the Seller, through the Trust Depositor, may (but
is not required to) repurchase on that Distribution Date all outstanding
Contracts at a price equal to the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the
Notes on the previous Distribution Date plus the aggregate of the Note Interest
Distributable Amount for the current Distribution Date, the Reimbursement
Amount (if any) as well as accrued and unpaid Monthly Servicing Fees and the
Indenture Trustee Fee to the date of such repurchase. Such price shall be
deposited in the Collection Account not later than one (1) Business Day before
such Distribution Date, against the Owner Trustee's and Indenture Trustee's
release of the Contracts and the Contract Files to the Seller.

liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad
faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement. The Servicer and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on
the advice of counsel or on any document of any kind, prima facie properly
executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising under this
Agreement.

MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 11.01. AMENDMENT.
(a) This Agreement may be amended by the Trust Depositor, the
Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer,
collectively, without the consent of any Securityholders, (i) to cure any
ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions in this Agreement which are
inconsistent with the provisions herein, or to add any other provisions with
respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement that shall not be
inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, (ii) to add or provide any
credit enhancement for any Class of Notes and (iii) to change any provision
applicable for determining the Specified Reserve Fund Balance or the manner in
which the Reserve Fund is funded; PROVIDED, HOWEVER that any such action shall
not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of any Securityholder and provided, further, that in
connection with any amendment pursuant to clause (iii) above, the Servicer
shall deliver to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee a letter from
Standard & Poor's (so long as Standard & Poor's is a Rating Agency) and Moody's
(so long as Xxxxx'x is a Rating Agency) to the effect that such amendment will
not cause its then-current rating on any Class of Notes to be qualified,
reduced or withdrawn.
(b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Trust
Depositor, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee on behalf
of the Issuer, with the
59
consent of the Required Holders, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement
or of modifying in any manner the rights of the 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)(a)
collections of payments on the Contracts or distributions that shall be
required to be made on any Note or any Interest Rate, (b) except as otherwise
provided in Section 10.01(a), the Specified Reserve Fund Balance or the manner
in which the Reserve Fund is funded or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of
the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, the Holders of which are required to
consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all Notes
of the relevant Class then outstanding and the Certificate.
(c) Prior to the execution of any such amendment or consent, the
Indenture Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of such
amendment or consent, together with a copy thereof, to each Rating Agency.
(d) Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent, the
Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, shall furnish
written notification of the substance of such amendment or consent to each
Noteholder. It shall not be necessary for the consent of Noteholders pursuant
to Section 11.01(b) to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or
consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance
thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the
authorization by Noteholders of the execution thereof shall be subject to such
reasonable requirements as the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee may
prescribe.
(e) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the
Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely
upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is
authorized or permitted by this Agreement. The Owner Trustee and the Indenture
Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which
affects the Owner Trustee's or the Indenture Trustee's own rights, duties or
immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.

the Trust Depositor or the Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trust Depositor,
may request each Rating Agency to approve a formula for determining the
Specified Reserve Fund Balance that is different from the formula or result
determined from the current definition thereof contained herein so as to result
in a decrease in the amount of the Specified Reserve Fund Balance or the manner
by which such Reserve Fund is funded. If each Rating Agency delivers to the
Indenture Trustee and Owner Trustee a written notice or letter stating that
such action will not result in a reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any
outstanding Class with respect to which a Rating Agency has previously issued a
rating as a result or such action, then the Specified Reserve Fund Balance will
be theretofore determined in accordance with such changed formula or manner of
funding, and an amendment to this Agreement effecting such change may be
executed without the consent of any Securityholder.

archives) that shall refer to a Contract indicate clearly the interest of the
Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in such Contract and that such Contract is
owned by the Issuer and has been pledged to the Indenture Trustee. Indication of

shall be deleted from or modified on the Servicer's computer systems when, and
only when, the related Contract shall have been paid in full or repurchased or
shall have become a Liquidated Contract.
(f) If at any time the Trust Depositor or the Servicer shall propose to
sell, grant a security interest in, or otherwise transfer any interest in
automotive retail installment sales contracts to any prospective purchaser,
lender or other transferee, the Servicer shall give or cause to be given to such
prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee computer tapes, records or
61
print-outs (including any restored from back-up archives) that, if they shall
refer in any manner whatsoever to any Contract, shall indicate clearly that such
Contract has been sold and is owned by the Issuer and has been pledged to the
Indenture Trustee.
(g) The Servicer shall permit the Owner Trustee and its agents, at any
time during normal business hours, to inspect, audit and make copies of and
abstracts from the Servicer's records regarding any Contract.

the Indenture Trustee, within five Business Days, a list of all Contracts then
held as part of the Trust Estate, together with a reconciliation of such list to

such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interest.

institute against the Trust Depositor, or the Trust, or join any other Person in
instituting against the Trust Depositor or the Trust, any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other
similar proceedings under the laws of the United States or any state of the
United States. This Section 11.10 will survive the termination of this
Agreement.
(b) The Trust acknowledges and agrees that the Certificate represents a
beneficial interest in the Trust and Trust Corpus only and the Securities do not
represent an interest in any assets (other than the Trust Corpus) of the Trust
Depositor (including by virtue of any deficiency claim in respect of obligations
not paid or otherwise satisfied from the Trust Assets and proceeds thereof). In
furtherance of and not in derogation of the foregoing, to the extent that the
Trust Depositor enters into other securitization transactions, the Trust
acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no right, title or interest in or to
any assets (or interests therein) other than the Trust Assets conveyed or
purported to be conveyed (whether by way of a sale, capital contribution or by
the granting of a Lien) by the Trust Depositor to any Person other than the
Trust (the "OTHER ASSETS").
To the extent that notwithstanding the agreements contained in this
Section, the Trust or any Securityholder, either (i) asserts an interest in or
claim to, or benefit from any Other Assets, whether asserted against or through
the Trust Depositor or any other Person owned by the Trust Depositor, or (ii) is
deemed to have any interest, claim or benefit in or from any Other Assets,
whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to applicable provisions of
Insolvency Laws or otherwise (including without limitation pursuant to Section
1111(b) of the federal Bankruptcy Code, as amended) and whether deemed asserted
against or through the Trust Depositor or any other Person owned by the Trust
Depositor, then the Trust and each Securityholder by accepting a Note or
Certificate further acknowledges and agrees that any such interest, claim or
benefit in or from the Other Assets is and shall be expressly subordinated to
the indefeasible payment in full of all obligations and liabilities of the Trust
Depositor which, under the terms of the documents relating to the securitization
of the Other Assets, are entitled to be paid from, entitled to the benefits of,
or otherwise secured by such Other Assets (whether or not any such entitlement
or security interest is legally perfected or otherwise entitled to a priority of
distribution under applicable law, including Insolvency Laws, and whether
asserted against the Trust Depositor or any other Person owned by the Trust
Depositor) including, without limitation, the payment of post-petition interest
on such other obligations and liabilities. This subordination agreement shall be
deemed a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the
Bankruptcy Code. Each Securityholder is deemed to have acknowledged and agreed
that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of this Section 11.10 and
that the terms and provisions of this Section 11.10 may be enforced by an action
for specific performance.
(c) The provisions of this Section 11.10 shall be for the third party
benefit of those entitled to rely thereon and shall survive the termination of
this Agreement.

Agreement has been executed by Wilmington Trust Company, not in its individual
capacity but solely in its capacity as Owner Trustee of the Issuer, and in no
event shall Wilmington Trust Company in its individual capacity or any
beneficial owner of the Issuer have any liability for the representations,
warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations of the Issuer hereunder,

individual capacity but solely as Indenture Trustee, and in no event shall Bank
One, National Association have any liability for the representations,
warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations of the Issuer hereunder
or in any of the certificates, notices or agreements delivered pursuant hereto,
as to all of which recourse shall be had solely to the assets of the Issuer.

[Seller's Representations and Warranties]
(1) 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 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.
J-1
(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) PLACE OF BUSINESS; NO CHANGES. Seller's sole place of
business (within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC) is as follows:
Harley-Davidson Credit Corp.
0000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxx
Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxx 00000
Seller has not changed its name whether by amendment of its Articles of
Incorporation, by reorganization or otherwise, and has not changed the
location of its place of business (except within Carson City, Nevada),
within the four months preceding the Closing Date.
(g) 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.
(2) 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
J-2
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 Closing Date (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 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, 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
J-3
Agreement, maintain in its possession, available for the Trust
Depositor's, and the Trustee's 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 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 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 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,
J-4
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,
as of the Closing Date (or the applicable Subsequent Transfer Date in
the case of Subsequent Contracts), the Issuer 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 is being held by the
Servicer as custodian.
(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 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.
J-5
(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 chattel paper
within the meaning of the UCC as in effect in the States of Nevada and
Illinois.
(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.
(3) 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 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) the final scheduled payment on the
Initial Contract with the latest maturity is due not later than
November 2007. Approximately 64.62% of the Principal Balance of the
Initial Contracts as of the Initial Cutoff Date is attributable to
loans for purchases of new Motorcycles and approximately 35.38% is
attributable to loans for purchases of used Motorcycles. No Initial
Contract was originated after the Initial Cutoff Date. No Initial
Contract has a Contract Rate less than 8.50%. The first scheduled
payment date of the Contracts (including any Subsequent Contracts) is
due no later than February 2001.
(c) MARKING RECORDS. As of the Closing Date (or the
applicable Subsequent Transfer Date in the case of Subsequent
Contracts), Seller has caused the Computer Disk relating to the
Contracts sold hereunder and concurrently reconveyed by Trust
Depositor to the Trust and pledged by the Trust to the Indenture
Trustee to be clearly and unambiguously marked to indicate that such
Contracts constitute part of the Trust Corpus, are owned by the Trust
and constitute security for the Notes.
J-6
(d) NO ADVERSE SELECTION. No selection procedures adverse to
Noteholders have been employed in selecting the Contracts.
(e) TRUE SALE. The transaction contemplated by this
Agreement constitutes a valid sale, transfer and assignment from
Seller to Trust Depositor and from Trust Depositor to the Trust of
all of Seller's right, title and interest in the Contract Assets as
of the Closing Date and any Subsequent Transfer Date, as applicable.
(f) ALL FILINGS MADE. All filings (including, without
limitation, UCC filings) required to be made by any Person and actions
required to be taken or performed by any Person in any jurisdiction to
give the Trustee a first priority perfected lien on, or ownership
interest in, the Contracts and the proceeds thereof and the rest of the
Trust Corpus have been made, taken or performed.
(g) DELTA LOANS. No more than 11.00% of the Principal
Balance of the Contracts as of the end of the Funding Period is
attributable to Delta Loans.
(4) REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES REGARDING THE CONTRACT FILES.
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) POSSESSION. Immediately prior to the Closing Date or any
Subsequent Transfer Date, the Servicer will have possession of each
original Contract and the related complete Contract File, and there are
and there will be no custodial agreements relating to the same in
effect. Each of such documents which is required to be signed by the
Obligor has been signed by the Obligor in the appropriate spaces. All
blanks on any form have been properly filled in and each form has
otherwise been correctly prepared. The complete Contract File for each
Contract currently is in the possession of the Servicer.
(b) BULK TRANSFER LAWS. The transfer, assignment and
conveyance of the Contracts and the Contract Files by Seller pursuant
to the Transfer and Sale Agreement or any Subsequent Purchase Agreement
and by Trust Depositor pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement is
not subject to the bulk transfer or any similar statutory provisions in
effect in any applicable jurisdiction.
