obtained all necessary licenses and approvals, in all jurisdictions in
which its ownership or lease of property or the servicing of the
contracts or the conduct of its business requires such qualification,

transactions contemplated by and the fulfillment of the terms of the
Master Agreement, each Series Supplement, this Master Sale Agreement,
each Sale Agreement Supplement and each Series Related Document to
which ABS is a party will not conflict with, result in any breach of

contemplated hereby requires compliance with any bulk sales act or
similar law;
