Security to the Trust, and to deliver a file-stamped copy of such financing
statements or other evidence of such filing to the Trustee on or prior to the
first Closing Date, in the case of the Initial Accounts, and (if any additional
filing is so necessary) the applicable Addition Date, in the case of Additional
Accounts and take such further steps as shall be necessary or desirable to
preserve such interest. The Trustee shall be under no obligation whatsoever to
file such financing statement, or a continuation statement to such financing
statement, or to make any other filing under the UCC in connection with such
sales to the Trust.
In connection with such sales, the Depositor further agrees,
at its own expense, on or prior to the first Closing Date, in the case of the
Initial Accounts, and the applicable Addition Date, in the case of Additional
Accounts, (a) to cause BCI to indicate in its computer files as required by the
Receivables Purchase Agreement, that the Receivables created in connection with
the Accounts have been sold, and the Collateral Security assigned, to the
Depositor in accordance with the Receivables Purchase Agreement and sold to the
Trust pursuant to this Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders and
the other Beneficiaries and (b) to deliver to the Trustee (or cause BCI to do
so) a computer file or microfiche or written list containing a true and complete
list of all such Accounts specifying for each such Account, as of the Cut-Off
Date, in the case of the Initial Accounts, and the applicable Additional Cut-Off
Date, in the case of Additional Accounts, (i) its account number, (ii) the
25
'SS' 2.01
aggregate amount of Receivables, if any, outstanding in such Account and (iii)
the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables, if any, in such Account. Such
file or list, as supplemented from time to time to reflect Additional Accounts
and Removed Accounts, shall be marked as Schedule 1 to this Agreement and is
hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement. The Trustee shall be
under no obligation whatsoever to verify the accuracy or completeness of the
information contained in Schedule 1 from time to time.
SECTION 2.02. Acceptance by Trustee. (a) The Trustee hereby
acknowledges its acceptance, on behalf of the Trust, of all right, title and
interest previously held by the Depositor to the property, now existing and
hereafter created, conveyed to the Trust pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof and
declares that it shall maintain such right, title and interest, upon the trust
herein set forth, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the other
Beneficiaries. The Trustee further acknowledges that, prior to or simultaneously
with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Depositor delivered to
the Trustee the computer file or microfiche or written list relating to the
Initial Accounts described in the last paragraph of Section 2.01 hereof.
(b) The Trustee shall have no power to create, assume or incur
indebtedness or other liabilities in the name of the Trust other than as
contemplated in this Agreement.

Relating to the Depositor and this Agreement. The Depositor hereby represents
and warrants to the Trust and to the Trustee as of the first Closing Date and
each Series Issuance Date that:

corporation (or is exempt from such requirement) and has obtained all
necessary licenses and approvals in each jurisdiction in which the
conduct of its business requires such qualification except where the
failure to so qualify or be in good standing or obtain licenses or

(c) Due Authorization. The execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the applicable Supplement and the Related Documents and
the consummation of the transactions provided for or contemplated by
this Agreement and the applicable
26
'SS' 2.03

Depositor.
(d) No Conflict. The execution and delivery of this Agreement,
the applicable Supplement and the Related Documents, the performance of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the applicable
Supplement and the Related Documents and the fulfillment of the terms
hereof and thereof, will not conflict with, result in any breach of any
of the material terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without
notice or lapse of time or both) a material default under, any
indenture, contract, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, or other
instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it or its

or default will not have a materially adverse effect on the Depositor's
ability to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder.
(e) No Violation. The execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the applicable Supplement and the Related Documents, the
performance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the
applicable Supplement and the Related Documents and the fulfillment of
the terms hereof and thereof applicable to the Depositor, will not
conflict with or violate any material Requirements of Law applicable to
the Depositor.
(f) No Proceedings. There are no pending proceedings or, to

(g) All Consents Required. All appraisals, authorizations,
consents, orders, approvals or other actions of any Person or of any
governmental body or official required for the execution and delivery
by the Depositor of this Agreement, the applicable Supplement and the
Related Documents, the performance by the Depositor of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, the applicable Supplement and any
27
'SS' 2.03
of the Related Documents, and the fulfillment by the Depositor of the
terms hereof and thereof, have been obtained.
(h) Enforceability. This Agreement and the applicable
Supplement and the Related Documents each constitutes a legal, valid
and binding obligation of the Depositor enforceable against the
Depositor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability
may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect affecting
the enforcement of creditors' rights in general and except as such
enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity (whether
considered in a suit at law or in equity) and the availability of
equitable remedies.
(i) Record of Accounts. As of the first Closing Date, in the
case of the Initial Accounts, as of the applicable Addition Date, in
the case of the Additional Accounts, and, as of the applicable Removal
Date, in the case of Removed Accounts, and as of the applicable Removal
Termination Date, in the case of Removed Accounts, Schedule 1 to this
Agreement (as amended from time to time) is an accurate and complete
listing in all material respects of all the Accounts as of the Cut-Off
Date, the applicable Additional Cut-Off Date the applicable Removal
Date or the applicable Removal Termination Date, as the case may be,
and the information contained therein with respect to the identity of
such Accounts and the Receivables existing thereunder is true and
correct in all material respects as of the Cut-Off Date, such
applicable Additional Cut-Off Date, such Removal Date or such Removal
Termination Date, as the case may be.
(j) Place of Business. The principal place of business of the
Depositor is in Burlington, Vermont, and the offices where the
Depositor keeps its records concerning the Receivables and related
contracts are in Burlington, Vermont.
(k) Use of Proceeds. No proceeds of the issuance of any
Certificate will be used by the Depositor to purchase or carry any
margin security.
(l) Not an Investment Company. The Depositor is not an
"investment company" or "controlled" by an "investment company" within
the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or is
exempt from all provisions thereof.
(m) Valid Transfer. This Agreement or, in the case of
Additional Accounts, the related Assignment constitutes a valid sale,
transfer and assignment to the Trust of all right, title and interest
of the Depositor in the Receivables and any Collateral Security whether
then existing or thereafter created and the proceeds thereof (other
than
28
'SS' 2.03
Insurance Proceeds) and all of the Depositor's rights, remedies,
powers and privileges with respect to the Receivables under the
Receivables Purchase Agreement (excluding, however, any repurchase or
other agreements with manufacturers, importers or distributors relating
to Obligors which are being financed by Domestic Inventory Receivables)
and, upon the filing of the financing statements described in Section
2.01 hereof with the Secretary of State of the State of Vermont, and in
the case of the Receivables hereafter created and the proceeds thereof,
upon the creation thereof, the Trust shall have a first priority
perfected ownership interest in such property, except for Liens
permitted under Section 2.06(a) hereof and tax and certain other
statutory liens (including liens in favor of the Pension Benefit
Guaranty Corporation); provided, however, that if this Agreement or, in
the case of Additional Accounts, the related Assignment, is deemed to
be a grant to the Trust of a security interest under the UCC as in
effect in the State of Vermont in such property, then upon the filing
of the financing statements described in Section 2.01 hereof with the
Secretary of State of the State of Vermont and in the case of the
Receivables hereinafter created and the proceeds thereof, upon the
creation thereof, the Trust shall have a first priority perfected
security interest in such property except for Liens permitted under
Section 2.06(a) hereof and tax and certain other statutory liens
(including liens in favor of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation).
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, neither the Depositor
nor any Person claiming through or under the Depositor has any claim to
or interest in the Trust Assets.
The representations and warranties set forth in this Section
2.03 shall survive the transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the Trust
and the issuance of the Certificates. Upon discovery by the Depositor, the
Servicer, any Agent or the Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing
representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give
prompt written notice to the other parties, any Agent and to any Enhancement
Providers.
In the event that (i) any of the representations and
warranties set forth subsections (a) through (l) of this Section 2.03 have been
breached or (ii) the representation and warranty set forth in subsection (m) of
this Section 2.03 has been breached and this Agreement does not constitute the
grant of a security interest in the Receivables and the Collateral Security (and
the proceeds thereof) under the UCC as then in effect in the State of Vermont
and, in the case of either clause (i) or (ii), such breach has a material
adverse effect on the interests of the Holder of the Variable Funding
Certificate or the Certificateholders, then either the Trustee, the Holder of
the Variable Funding Certificate, or the Holders of Investor Certificates
evidencing not less than a majority in aggregate unpaid principal amount of all
outstanding Investor Certificates by notice then given in writing to the
Depositor and the Servicer (and to the Trustee, any Enhancement Providers if
given by the Holder of the Variable Funding Certificate or the
Certificateholders) may, unless a Liquidation Event has occurred, direct the
Depositor to purchase the Variable Funding Interest and/or Investors'
29
'SS' 2.03
Interest within sixty (60) days of such notice (or within such longer period as
may be specified in such notice), and the Depositor shall be obligated to make
such purchase on a Distribution Date occurring within such 60-day period on the
terms and conditions set forth below; provided, however, that no such purchase
shall be required to be made if, by the end of such 60-day period (or such
longer period as may be specified in such notice), the representations and
warranties set forth in this Section 2.03 shall be satisfied in all material
respects or, in the case of clause (ii) above, this Agreement then constitutes
the grant of a security interest in the Receivables and the Collateral Security
(and the proceeds thereof) under the UCC as then in effect in the State of
Vermont, and any material adverse effect on the Investors' Interest and/or the
Variable Funding Interest, as applicable, caused thereby shall have been cured.
The Depositor shall deposit in the Collection Account in immediately
available funds on the Business Day preceding such Distribution Date, in payment
for such purchase, an amount equal to the sum of the amounts specified therefor
with respect to each outstanding Series and/or the Variable Funding Certificate,
as applicable, in the related Supplement. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, such amounts shall be distributed to the
Certificateholders and/or the Holder of the Variable Funding Interest, as
applicable, on such Distribution Date in accordance with Article IV hereof and
the terms of each Supplement. If the Trustee, the Certificateholders or the
Holder of the Variable Funding Certificate give notice directing the Depositor
to purchase the Investors' Interest and/or the Variable Funding Interest as
provided above, the obligation of the Depositor to effect such purchase pursuant
to this Section 2.03 shall constitute the sole remedy respecting an event of the
type specified in the first sentence of this Section 2.03 available to the
Certificateholders and/or the Holder of the Variable Funding Certificate (or the
Trustee on behalf of such Certificateholders).
SECTION 2.04. Representations and Warranties of the Depositor Relating
to the Receivables. (a) Representations and Warranties. The Depositor hereby
represents and warrants to the Trust that:
(i) Each Receivable and all Collateral Security transferred
to the Trust on the first Closing Date or, in the case of Additional
Accounts, on the applicable Addition Date, and on each Transfer Date,
has been conveyed to the Trust free and clear of any Lien, except for
Liens permitted under Section 2.06(a) hereof.
(ii) With respect to each Receivable and all Collateral
Security transferred to the Trust on the first Closing Date or, in the
case of Additional Accounts, on the applicable Addition Date, and on
each Transfer Date, all consents, licenses, approvals or authorizations
of or registrations or declarations with any Governmental Authority
required to be obtained, effected or given by the Depositor in
connection with the conveyance of such Receivable or Collateral
Security to the Trust have been duly obtained, effected or given and
are in full force and effect.
30
'SS' 2.04
(iii) On the Cut-Off Date, the first Closing Date and any
Series Issuance Date, each Account is an Eligible Account and, in the
case of Additional Accounts, on the applicable Additional Cut-Off Date
and Addition Date and on each Transfer Date, each such Additional
Account is an Eligible Account.
(iv) On the first Closing Date, in the case of the Initial
Accounts, and, in the case of the Additional Accounts, on the
applicable Additional Cut-Off Date, and on each Transfer Date, each
Receivable conveyed to the Trust on such date is an Eligible Receivable
or, if such Receivable is not an Eligible Receivable, such Receivable
is conveyed to the Trust in accordance with Section 2.09 hereof.
(v) With respect to each Receivable transferred to the
Trust on the first Closing Date, such Receivable is a Domestic
Inventory Receivable.
(vi) With respect to each Receivable transferred to the
Trust on the first Closing Date or, in the case of Additional Accounts,
on the applicable Addition Date, and on each Transfer Date, such
Receivable constitutes either an "account" or "chattel paper" for
purposes of the UCC as in effect in the State of Vermont from time to
time.
(vii) Each Domestic Inventory Receivable included in the Pool
Balance is and will be secured by a first priority perfected security
interest in the related Eligible Product.
(viii) On each Transfer Date, the Depositor is not insolvent.
(ix) The Depositor has caused BCI to clearly and
unambiguously xxxx all its computer records and all its microfiche
storage files regarding the Receivables conveyed to the Trust under
this Agreement as the property of the Trust.
(x) On the first Closing Date, all Repurchase Agreements
(as defined in the Receivables Purchase Agreement) with respect to the
Initial Accounts shall have been effectively assigned to BCRC (and all
required consents from the related manufacturers, importers and
distributors shall have been obtained) except with respect to Initial
Accounts the Receivables in which aggregate not more than 1% of the
Pool Balance as of the Cut-Off Date.
(b) Notice of Breach. The representations and warranties set
forth in this Section 2.04 shall survive the transfer and assignment of the
Receivables to the Trust and the issuance of the Certificates. Upon discovery by
the Depositor, the Servicer, any Agent or the Trustee of a breach, of any of the
representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.04,
31
'SS' 2.04
the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other
parties and to any Enhancement Providers.
(c) Reassignment. In the event any representation or warranty
under subsection (a) of this Section 2.04 is not true and correct as of the date
specified therein with respect to any Receivable or Account and such breach (i)
remains uncured for thirty (30) days (or such longer period as may be approved
by the Trustee) of the earlier to occur of the discovery of any such event by
the Depositor or the Servicer, or receipt by the Depositor or the Servicer of
written notice of any such event given by the Trustee, any Agent or any
Enhancement Providers and (ii) has a material adverse effect on the Investors'
Interest or the Variable Funding Interest in any such Receivable or Account,
then the Depositor shall accept a reassignment of such Receivable or, in the
case of such an untrue representation or warranty with respect to an Account,
all Receivables in such Account, on the Determination Date immediately
succeeding the day of such discovery or notice (or such other Determination Date
as may be agreed to by the Trustee) on the terms and conditions set forth in the
next succeeding paragraph; provided, however, that no such reassignment shall be
required to be made with respect to such Receivable if, by the end of such
30-day period (or such longer period as may be agreed to by the Trustee), the
breached representation or warranty shall then be true and correct in all
material respects and any material adverse effect caused thereby shall have been
cured.
The Depositor shall accept a reassignment of each such Receivable, and
shall direct the Servicer to deduct, subject to the next sentence, the principal
amount of such Receivables from the Pool Balance on or prior to the end of the
Collection Period in which such reassignment obligation arises. If, following
such deduction, the Pool Balance would be less than the Required Pool Balance on
the immediately preceding Determination Date (after giving effect to the
allocations, distributions, withdrawals and deposits to be made on the
Distribution Date following such Determination Date), then, unless a Liquidation
Event has occurred, not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the day on
which such reassignment occurs, the Depositor shall deposit in the Collection
Account in immediately available funds the amount (the "Transfer Deposit
Amount") by which the Pool Balance would be less than the Required Pool Balance
(up to the principal amount of such Receivables); provided, that if the Transfer
Deposit Amount is not deposited as required by this sentence, then the principal
amounts of such Receivables shall only be deducted from the Pool Balance to the
extent that the Pool Balance is not reduced below the Required Pool Balance and
the Receivables the principal amounts of which have not been so deducted shall
not be reassigned to the Depositor and shall remain part of the Trust. Upon
reassignment of any such Receivable, but only after payment by the Depositor of
the Transfer Deposit Amount, if any, the Trust shall automatically and without
further action be deemed to sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise
convey to the Depositor, without recourse, representation or warranty, all the
right, title and interest of the Trust in and to such Receivable, all Collateral
Security and
32
'SS' 2.04
all moneys due or to become due with respect thereto and all proceeds thereof.
The Trustee shall execute such documents and instruments of transfer or
assignment and take such other actions as shall reasonably be requested by the
Depositor to effect the conveyance of such Receivables pursuant to this Section
2.04. The obligation of the Depositor to accept a reassignment of any such
Receivable and to pay any related Transfer Deposit Amount shall constitute the
sole remedy respecting the event giving rise to such obligation available to
Certificateholders or the Holder of the Variable Funding Certificate (or the
Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders or the Holder of the Variable Funding
Certificate).
SECTION 2.05. Addition of Accounts. (a) If, as of the close of business
on the last day of any Collection Period, (i) the Pool Balance on such day is
less than the Required Pool Balance as of the following Distribution Date (after
giving effect to the allocations, distributions, withdrawals and deposits to be
made on such Distribution Date), or (ii) the aggregate interest in the Pool
Balance represented by the BCRC Certificate and any Variable Funding Certificate
held by BCRC is less than 2% of the aggregate amount of Receivables included in
the Pool on such last day, then, unless a Liquidation Event has occurred, on or
prior to the tenth Business Day following the end of such Collection Period (the
"Addition Date"), the Depositor shall be required to purchase from BCI under the
Receivables Purchase Agreement (but BCI shall have no obligation to sell to
BCRC), and shall designate (pursuant to an Addition Notice delivered pursuant to
Section 2.05(c) hereof) and transfer to the Trust, the Receivables (and any
related Collateral Security) of additional Eligible Accounts of the Depositor to
be included as Accounts in a sufficient amount such that, after giving effect to
such addition: (x) the Pool Balance as of the close of business on the Addition
Date is at least equal to the Required Pool Balance and (y) the aggregate amount
of Receivables included in the Pool represented by the BCRC Certificate and any
Variable Funding Certificate held by BCRC, is equal to at least 2% of the
aggregate amount of Receivables included in the Pool and (z) the Pool shall
consist of the same type of Receivables as shall have been included in the Pool
prior to such addition (i.e., Domestic Inventory Receivables, Other Account
Receivables or both, as the case may be); provided, however, that so long as the
Trustee shall have received (whether in connection with the addition of Accounts
at such time or in connection with a previous addition of Accounts to the Trust)
a letter from each Rating Agency confirming that the inclusion of Accounts
relating to Other Account Receivables will not result in the reduction or
withdrawal of the rating of any Series or Class of Certificates then
outstanding, then, at the option of the Depositor and BCI, Additional Accounts
containing Other Account Receivables may be added in satisfaction of such
requirement even if the only Accounts previously included in the Trust are
Accounts containing Domestic Inventory Receivables; and provided, further, that
for purposes of clause (ii) and sub-clause (y) of this subsection (a), the
Variable Funding Certificate shall be deemed to be "held" by BCRC even though
the registered Holder thereof is BCI, as pledgee, so long as BCI has not
exercised its remedies in respect thereof. The Depositor shall satisfy the
conditions specified in subsection (d) of this Section 2.05 in designating such
Additional
33
'SS' 2.05
Accounts and conveying the related Receivables to the Trust. The failure of the
Depositor to transfer Receivables to the Trust as provided in this subsection
(a) solely as a result of the unavailability of a sufficient amount of Eligible
Receivables or subsequent to a Liquidation Event shall not constitute a breach
of this Agreement; provided, however, that any such failure will nevertheless
result in the occurrence of an Early Amortization Event described in Section
9.01(a) hereof.
(b) The Depositor may from time to time, at its sole
discretion, subject to the conditions specified in subsection (d) below,
voluntarily designate additional Eligible Accounts to be included as Accounts
and transfer to the Trust the Receivables (and the related Collateral Security)
of such Additional Accounts.
(c) Receivables and Collateral Security from Additional
Accounts conveyed to the Trust pursuant to subsection (b) above shall be sold to
the Trust effective on a date (the "Addition Date") specified in an Addition
Notice on or before the tenth Business Day but not more than the 30th day prior
to the related Addition Date (the "Notice Date"); provided, however, that unless
a Rating Agency Condition shall otherwise have been satisfied, the first
Addition Date following the Cut-Off Date shall occur no earlier than April 1,
1994 and any Addition Date thereafter shall occur not less than ninety (90) days
following the immediately preceding Addition Date.
(d) The Depositor shall be permitted to convey to the Trust
the Receivables and all Collateral Security related thereto in any Additional
Accounts designated by the Depositor as such pursuant to Section 2.05(a) or (b)
hereof only upon satisfaction of each of the following conditions on or prior to
the related Addition Date:
(i) the Depositor shall have provided the Trustee, any
Agent, the Rating Agencies and any Enhancement Providers with an
Addition Notice;
(ii) such Additional Accounts shall all be Eligible Accounts
and, with respect to Additional Accounts designated pursuant to
subsection (b) above, the Rating Agency Condition shall have been
satisfied;
(iii) the Depositor shall have delivered to the Trustee a
duly executed written assignment in substantially the form of Exhibit B
hereto (the "Assignment") and the computer file or microfiche or
written list required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof;
(iv) the Depositor shall, to the extent required by Section
4.03 hereof, have deposited in the Collection Account all Collections
with respect to such Additional Accounts since the Additional Cut-Off
Date;
34
'SS' 2.05
(v)(A) no selection procedures reasonably believed by the
Depositor to be adverse to the interests of the Beneficiaries or any
Enhancement Provider were used in selecting such Additional Accounts;
(B) the list of Additional Accounts delivered pursuant to clause (iii)
above is true and correct in all material respects as of the Additional
Cut-Off Date and (3) as of each of the Notice Date and the Addition
Date, neither BCI nor the Depositor were insolvent nor will any of them
have been made insolvent by such transfer nor are any of them aware of
any pending insolvency;
(vi) the addition of the Receivables arising in such
Additional Accounts shall not, in the reasonable belief of the
Depositor, result in the occurrence of an Early Amortization Event;
(vii) in the case of an addition of Receivables pursuant to
subsection (a) above, the additional Receivables are either Domestic
Inventory Receivables, Other Account Receivables or both; and
(viii) the Depositor shall have delivered to the Trustee and
any Enhancement Providers a certificate of a Vice President or more
senior officer confirming the items set forth in sub-clauses (ii)
through (vi) above; and
(e) The Depositor hereby represents and warrants as of the
applicable Addition Date as to the matters set forth in clause (v) of subsection
(d) of this Section 2.05. Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Servicer, any
Agent, the Trustee or any Enhancement Providers of a breach of the foregoing
representations and warranties, the party discovering the breach shall give
prompt written notice to the other parties, to any Agent and to any Enhancement
Providers.
(f) On or before each Addition Date, the Depositor shall have
delivered to the Trustee and any Enhancement Providers, an Opinion of Counsel,
substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 hereto, with respect to the Receivables
in the Additional Accounts conveyed hereunder on such Addition Date.
SECTION 2.06. Covenants of the Depositor. The Depositor hereby
covenants that:
(a) No Liens. Except for (i) the conveyances hereunder or (ii)
as provided in subsection (c) or (d) of Section 6.03 hereof, the
Depositor will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any other
Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist (other than
Liens permitted under Section 2.06(a) hereof and tax and certain other
statutory liens (including liens in favor of the Pension Benefit
Guaranty Corporation)) any Lien on, any Receivable or any Collateral
Security, whether now existing or
35
'SS' 2.06
hereafter created, or any interest therein, or the Depositor's rights,
remedies, powers or privileges with respect to the Receivables under
the Receivables Purchase Agreement, or the Variable Funding Interest,
the Variable Funding Certificate, the Retained Interest, the BCRC
Certificate or any Supplemental Certificate and the Depositor shall
defend the right, title and interest of the Trust in, to and under the
Receivables and the Collateral Security, whether now existing or
hereafter created, and such rights, remedies, powers and privileges,
against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the
Depositor. In addition, the Depositor shall maintain such records and
take such other actions as may be necessary or desirable to preserve
the Trust's perfected security interest in the Receivables.
(b) Account Allocations. In the event that the Depositor is
unable for any reason to transfer Receivables with respect to an
Initial Account or any Additional Account to the Trust when required in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then the Depositor agrees
that it shall allocate, after the occurrence of such event, payments on
each such Account with respect to the principal balance of such Account
first to the oldest principal balance of such Account and to have such
payments applied as Collections in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. The parties hereto agree that Non-Principal Receivables,
whenever created, accrued in respect of Principal Receivables which
have been conveyed to the Trust shall continue to be a part of the
Trust notwithstanding any cessation of the transfer of additional
Principal Receivables to the Trust and Collections with respect thereto
shall continue to be allocated and paid in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement.
(c) Delivery of Collections. In the event that the Depositor,
BCI or any Affiliate thereof receives payments in respect of
Receivables included in any Account, the Depositor and BCI agree to pay
or cause to be paid to the Servicer or any Successor Servicer all
payments received thereby in respect of such Receivables as soon as
practicable after receipt thereof, but in no event later than two (2)
Business Days after the receipt by the Depositor or BCI. Receipt by
BCI's Affiliates of payments in respect of Other Account Receivables
will not be deemed to be received by BCI until received by BCI from
such Affiliates.
(d) Notice of Liens. The Depositor shall notify the Trustee
promptly after becoming aware of any Lien on any Receivable other than
the conveyances hereunder.
(e) Compliance with Law. The Depositor hereby agrees to comply
in all material respects with all Requirements of Law applicable to the
Depositor in connection with the performance of its obligations
hereunder the failure to comply with which would have a materially
adverse effect on the interests of the Beneficiaries.
36
'SS' 2.06
(f) Activities of the Depositor. The Depositor will not engage
in any business or activity of any kind or enter into any transaction
other than:
(i) the businesses, activities and transactions
contemplated and authorized by this Agreement or the Related
Documents, including without limitation:
(A) the execution and delivery by the
Depositor of, and the performance by the Depositor of
its obligations under, the BCRC Note and the Pledge
Agreement (each as defined in the Receivables
Purchase Agreement));
(B) acquiring, selling, financing, holding,
assigning, pledging and otherwise dealing with
wholesale and retail receivables arising out of the
sale of consumer, recreational and commercial
products and related activities and transactions;
(C) transferring such receivables to trusts
pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement or
similar agreement or arrangement;
(D) authorizing, selling and delivering any
class of certificates or other securities of any such

ARTICLE III
Administration and Servicing
of Receivables
SECTION 3.01. Acceptance of Appointment and Other Matters Relating to
the Servicer. (a) The Servicer shall (or, to the extent applicable, shall cause
its Affiliates to) service and administer the Receivables, collect payments due
under the Receivables and charge-off as uncollectible Receivables, all in
accordance with the Inventory Security Agreements (as amended from time to time)
relating to the Accounts (if applicable), the Financing Guidelines and otherwise
in accordance with procedures that are customary and usual in the industry for
servicing receivables comparable to the Receivables, except insofar as any
failure to so comply or perform would not materially and adversely affect the
rights of the Trust or any of the Beneficiaries; provided, that unless the
Depositor shall have given the Rating Agencies ten (10) days' prior notice of
its election not to take the following actions with respect to Receivables and
the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with respect thereto, the
Servicer shall charge-off as uncollectible (x) at least 33% of the principal
amount of each Receivable with respect to which principal payments are
delinquent by thirty (30) days or more, (y) at least 66% of the principal amount
(before giving effect to any reduction therein pursuant to clause (x) hereof) of
each Receivable with respect to which principal payments are delinquent by sixty
(60) days or more, and (z) 100% of the remaining principal amount of each
Receivable with respect to which principal payments are delinquent by ninety
(90) days or more or interest payments (aggregating at least $150 with respect
to Receivables under the same Account) are delinquent by 120 days or more. The
Servicer and its applicable Affiliates shall have full power and authority,
acting alone or through any party properly designated hereunder, to do any and
all things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may
deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing
and subject to Section 10.01 hereof, the Servicer is hereby authorized and
empowered, unless such power and authority is revoked by the Trustee on account
of the occurrence of a Servicer Default pursuant to Section 10.01 hereof:
(i) to instruct the Trustee to make withdrawals and
payments from the Collection Account and any Series Account as set
forth in this Agreement;
(ii) to instruct the Trustee to take any action required or
permitted under any Enhancement;
(iii) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trust for
the benefit of the Certificateholders and the other Beneficiaries, any
and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or
full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with
respect to the Receivables and, after the
43
'SS' 3.01
delinquency of any Receivable and to the extent permitted under and in
compliance with applicable Requirements of Law, to commence enforcement
proceedings with respect to such Receivables;
(iv) to make any filings, reports, notices, applications,
registrations with, and seek any consents or authorizations from, the
Securities and Exchange Commission and any State securities authority
on behalf of the Trust as may be necessary or advisable to comply with
any Federal or State securities laws or reporting requirement; and
(v) to delegate certain of its servicing, collection,
enforcement and administrative duties hereunder with respect to the
Accounts and the Receivables to any Person who agrees to conduct such
duties in accordance with the Financing Guidelines and this Agreement;
provided, however, that the Servicer shall notify the Trustee, the Rating
Agencies, any Agent and any Enhancement Providers in writing of any such
delegation of its duties which is not in the ordinary course of its business,
that no delegation will relieve the Servicer of its liability and responsibility
with respect to such duties and that the Rating Agency Condition shall have been
satisfied with respect to any such delegation. The Trustee shall furnish the
Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents reasonably necessary or
appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative
duties hereunder;
(b) In the event that the Depositor is unable for any reason
to transfer Receivables with respect to any Initial Account or any Additional
Account to the trust in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement
(including by reason of the application of the provisions of Section 9.02 hereof
or any court of competent jurisdiction ordering that the Depositor not transfer
any additional Principal Receivables to the Trust) then, in any such event, the
Servicer agrees (i) to give prompt written notice thereof to the Trustee, any
Enhancement Providers and each Rating Agency and (ii) that it shall in any such
event allocate after the occurrence of such event, payments on each such Account
with respect to the principal balance of such Account first to the oldest
principal balance of such Account, and to have such payments applied as
Collections in accordance with Section 4.02 hereof. The parties hereto agree
that Non-Principal Receivables, whenever created, accrued in respect of
Principal Receivables which have been conveyed to the Trust shall continue to be
a part of the Trust notwithstanding any cessation of the transfer of additional
Principal Receivables to the Trust and Collections with respect thereto shall
continue to be allocated and paid in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
(c) The Servicer and its Affiliates servicing the Receivables
shall not, and any Successor Servicer shall not be obligated to, use separate
servicing procedures, offices, employees or accounts for servicing the
Receivables from the procedures, offices, employees
44
'SS' 3.01
and accounts used by the Servicer and its Affiliates in connection with
servicing other receivables comparable to the Receivables.
(d) The Servicer shall comply with and perform its servicing
obligations with respect to the Accounts and Receivables in accordance with the
Inventory Security Agreements (as amended from time to time) relating to the
Accounts, if applicable, and the Financing Guidelines, except insofar as any
failure to so comply or perform would not materially and adversely affect the
rights of the Trust or any of the Beneficiaries. Subject to compliance with all
Requirements of Law, the Servicer (or BCI) and any Affiliate of BCI may change
the terms and provisions of the Accounts, including, without limitation, the
Inventory Security Agreements and the Financing Guidelines, in any respect
(including the calculation of the amount or the timing of charge-offs and the
rate of the finance charge, if any, assessed thereon), only if as a result of
such change, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer no Early Amortization
Event will occur.
SECTION 3.02. Servicing Compensation. (a) As full compensation
for its servicing activities hereunder and reimbursement for its expenses as set
forth in subsection (b) below, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive the
Servicing Fee on each Distribution Date on or prior to the Trust Termination
Date payable in arrears. The "Servicing Fee" shall be the aggregate of the
Monthly Servicing Fees specified in the Supplements. The Servicing Fee shall be
payable to the Servicer solely to the extent amounts are available for payment
in accordance with the terms of the Supplements.
(b) The Servicer's expenses include the amounts due to the
Trustee pursuant to Section 11.05 hereof and the reasonable fees and
disbursements of independent accountants and all other expenses incurred by the
Servicer in connection with its activities hereunder, and including all other
fees and expenses of the Trust not expressly stated herein to be for the account
of the Certificateholders but not including any federal, state or local income
and franchise taxes, if any, of the Trust or the Certificateholders. The
Servicer shall be required to pay such expenses for its own account, and shall
not be entitled to any payment therefor other than the Servicing Fee. The
Servicer will be solely responsible for all fees and expenses incurred by or on
behalf of the Servicer in connection herewith and the Servicer will not be
entitled to any fee or other payment from, or claim on, any of the Trust Assets
(other than the Servicing Fee).
SECTION 3.03. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the
Servicer. (a) BCI, as Servicer, hereby makes on the first Closing Date on each
Series Issuance Date with respect to which it is the Servicer, and any Successor
Servicer by its appointment hereunder shall make, on each Series Issuance Date
(and on the date of any such appointment) the following representations,
warranties and covenants, on which the Trustee has relied in accepting the
Receivables in trust and in authenticating the Certificates:

performance of this Agreement and the applicable Supplement has been
duly authorized by such party by all necessary corporate action on the
part thereof.
(iv) Binding Obligation. This Agreement and the applicable

(v) No Violation. The execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the applicable Supplement by such party, the performance
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the applicable
Supplement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof
applicable to such party will not conflict with, violate, result in any
breach of any of the material terms and provisions of, or constitute

under, any Requirement of Law applicable to such party or any
indenture, contract, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, or other
instrument to which such party is a party or by which it is bound
except to the extent that such conflict, breach or default will not
have a materially adverse effect on such party's ability to perform its

46
'SS' 3.03
(vi) No Proceedings. There are no pending proceedings or,
to the best knowledge of such party, investigations, pending or
threatened against such party before any Governmental Authority (i)
seeking to prevent the issuance of the Certificates or the consummation

effect all qualifications required under Requirements of Law in order
to service properly the Receivables and the Accounts and will comply in
all material respects with all Requirements of Law in connection with
servicing the Receivables and the Accounts, except where the failure to
do any of the foregoing would not have a materially adverse effect on
the interests of the Beneficiaries.
(viii) No Rescission or Cancellation. Such party shall not
reschedule, revise, defer, cancel or settle payments due on any
Receivable except in accordance with sound industry practices for
servicing receivables comparable to the Receivables.

take no action which would impair the rights of Beneficiaries in the
Receivables or in the Certificates.
(x) Servicer Concentration Account. The Servicer maintains
deposit accounts (collectively, the "Concentration Account") into which
it shall deposit all amounts paid by the Obligors with respect to the
Receivables. The Servicer agrees (i) that it will not change this
method of collection without the prior written consent of any
Enhancement Providers, if any; (ii) with respect to amounts deposited
into the Concentration Account in respect of a particular day, that it
will not transfer such amounts from the Concentration Account until the

(xi) Negative Pledge. Except for the conveyances under the
Receivables Purchase Agreement and under this Agreement, the Servicer
will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any other Person, or
grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist

reasonable efforts to collect (on behalf of the Depositor) under any
repurchase or other agreements with manufacturers, importers or
distributors relating to Obligors who are being financed by Domestic
Inventory Receivables held in the Trust.
(b) Notice of Breach. The representations and warranties set
forth in this Section 3.03 shall survive the transfer and assignment of the

representations and warranties set forth in this Section 3.03, the party
discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties
and to any Enhancement Providers.
(c) Purchase. In the event the Depositor or the Servicer
receives written notice from the Trustee or any Enhancement Provider that any
covenant under clause (vii), (viii) or (ix) of subsection (a) above has not been
complied with in all material respects and such noncompliance has not been cured
within thirty (30) days thereafter (or such longer period as the Trustee may
permit) and has a materially adverse effect on the Investors' Interest or the
Variable Funding Interest in any Receivable or Account, then, unless a
Liquidation Event has occurred, the Servicer shall purchase such Receivable or,
if such non-compliance is with respect to any Account, all Receivables in such
Account, on the Determination Date immediately succeeding the expiration of such
30-day period (or such longer period as may be permitted by the Trustee) on the
terms and conditions set forth in the next succeeding paragraph. The Servicer
shall effect such purchase by depositing in the Collection Account in
immediately available funds an amount equal to the Purchase Price of such
Receivable. Any deposit of such Purchase Price into the Collection Account shall
be considered a Transfer Deposit Amount and shall be applied in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement.
(d) Payment of Purchase Price; Etc. Upon each payment by the
Servicer of the Purchase Price for the Receivables to be purchased by the
Servicer from the Trust pursuant to subsection (c) above, the Trust shall

set over and otherwise convey to the Servicer, without recourse, representation
or warranty, all right, title and interest of the Trust in and to such
Receivables, all monies due or to become due with respect thereto and all
proceeds thereof and any related Collateral Security. The Trustee shall execute
such documents and instruments of transfer or assignment and take such other
actions as shall be reasonably requested by the Servicer to
48
'SS' 3.03
effect the conveyance of any such Receivables pursuant to this Section 3.03. The
obligation of the Servicer to purchase such Receivables, and to make the
deposits required to be made to the Collection Account as provided in subsection
(c) above, shall constitute the sole remedy respecting the event giving rise to
such obligation available to the Certificateholders or the Holder of the
Variable Funding Certificate (or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders
and the Holder of the Variable Funding Certificate).
SECTION 3.04. Reports and Records for the Trustee. On each Distribution
Date, with respect to each outstanding Series, the Servicer shall deliver to any
Enhancement Providers, the Rating Agencies, the Trustee, the Holder of the

to the Rating Agencies, the Trustee, the Holder of the Variable Funding
Certificate, the Holder of the BCRC Certificate and any Enhancement Providers on

Officers' Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto stating that
(a) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar
year and of its performance under this Agreement was made under the supervision
of the officer signing such certificate and (b) to the best of such officer's
knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has performed in all material
respects its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if there
has been a material default in the performance of any such obligation,
specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status
thereof. A copy of such certificate may be obtained by any Certificateholder by
a request in writing to the Trustee addressed to the Corporate Trust Office.
SECTION 3.06. Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing Report.
On or before April 30 of each calendar year (beginning April 30, 1995), the
Servicer shall cause a firm of nationally recognized independent public
accountants (who may also render other services to the Servicer or the
Depositor) to furnish a report (addressed to the Board of Directors of the
Servicer and to the Trustee), substantially in the form of Exhibit J hereto, to
the effect that they have examined certain documents and records relating to the
servicing of Accounts under this Agreement and each Supplement and that, on the
basis of such examination, nothing has come to the attention of such accountants
that caused them to believe that the servicing has not been conducted in
compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and each
Supplement, except for such exceptions as they believe to be immaterial and such
other exceptions as shall be set forth in such report. A copy of such report may
be obtained by any Certificateholder by a request in writing to the Trustee
addressed to the Corporate Trust Office.
SECTION 3.07. Tax Treatment. The Depositor has entered into this
49
'SS' 3.07
Agreement and the Investor Certificates and the Variable Funding Certificate
have been (or will be) issued with the intention that the Investor Certificates
will qualify under applicable tax law as indebtedness of BCRC secured by the
Receivables. The Depositor, each Beneficiary and each Certificateholder and
Certificate Owner by the acceptance of its Certificate or Book-Entry
Certificate, as applicable, agrees to treat the Investor Certificates as
indebtedness of BCRC secured by the Receivables for United States Federal income
taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and any other taxes imposed on
or measured by income.
SECTION 3.08. Notices to BCI. In the event BCI is no longer acting as
Servicer, any Successor Servicer appointed pursuant to Section 10.02 hereof
shall deliver or make available to BCI, as the case may be, each certificate and
report required to be prepared, forwarded or delivered thereafter pursuant to
Section 3.04, Section 3.05 or Section 3.06 hereof.
SECTION 3.09. Adjustments. (a) If the Servicer adjusts downward the
amount of any Principal Receivable because of a rebate, refund, credit
adjustment or billing error to an Obligor, or because such Receivable was
created in respect of any Eligible Products which were refused or returned by an
Obligor, then, in any such case, the Pool Balance will be automatically reduced
by the amount of the adjustment. Furthermore, if following such a reduction the
Pool Balance would be less than the Required Pool Balance on the immediately
preceding Determination Date (after giving effect to the allocations,
distributions, withdrawals and deposits to be made on the Distribution Date
immediately following such Determination Date), then, unless a Liquidation Event
has occurred, the Depositor shall be required to pay in cash an amount equal to
such deficiency (up to the amount of such adjustment) into the Collection
Account in immediately available funds on the Business Day on which such
adjustment or reduction occurs (each such payment an "Adjustment Payment").
(b) If (i) the Servicer makes a deposit into the Collection
Account in respect of a Collection of a Receivable and such Collection was
received by the Servicer in the form of a check which is not honored for any
reason or (ii) the Servicer makes a mistake with respect to the amount of any
Collection and deposits an amount that is less than or more than the actual
amount of such Collection, the Servicer shall appropriately adjust the amount
subsequently deposited into the Collection Account to reflect such dishonored
check or mistake. Any Receivable in respect of which a dishonored check is
received shall be deemed not to have been paid.

ARTICLE IV
Rights of Certificateholders and
Allocation and Application of Collections
SECTION 4.01. Rights of Certificateholders. The Investor
Certificates shall represent fractional undivided interests in the Trust, which,
with respect to each Series, shall consist of the right to receive, to the
extent necessary to make the required payments with respect to the Investor
Certificates of such Series at the times and in the amounts specified in the
related Supplement, the portion of Collections allocable to Certificateholders
of such Series pursuant to this Agreement and such Supplement, funds on deposit
in the Collection Account allocable to Certificateholders of such Series
pursuant to this Agreement and such Supplement, funds on deposit in any related
Series Account and funds available pursuant to any related Enhancement
(collectively, with respect to all Series, the "Investors' Interest"), it being
understood that the Investor Certificates of any Series or Class shall not
represent any interest in any Series Account or Enhancement for the benefit of
any other Series or Class. The Variable Funding Certificate shall represent a
fractional undivided interest in the Trust, which shall consist of the right to
receive, to the extent necessary to make the required payments with respect to
the Variable Funding Certificate, at the times and in the amounts specified in
the related Supplement, the portion of Collections allocable to the Holder of
the Variable Funding Certificate pursuant to this Agreement and such Supplement
and funds on deposit in the Collection Account allocable to the Holder of the
Variable Funding Certificate pursuant to this Agreement and such Supplement
(collectively, the "Variable Funding Interest"), it being understood that the
Variable Funding Certificate shall not represent any interest in any Series
Account or Enhancement except as specifically provided in this Agreement or such
Supplement. The BCRC Certificate and any Supplemental Certificate shall,
collectively, represent the ownership interest in the remainder of the Trust
Assets not allocated pursuant to this Agreement or any Supplement to the
Investors' Interest or the Variable Funding Interest, including the right to
receive the Collections with respect to the Receivables and other amounts at the
times and in the amounts specified in this Agreement or in any Supplement to be
paid to the Depositor on behalf of all Holders of the BCRC Certificate and any
Supplemental Certificates (the "Retained Interest"); provided, however, that
neither the BCRC Certificate nor any Supplemental Certificate shall represent
any interest in the Collection Account, any Series Account or any Enhancement,
except as specifically provided in this Agreement or any Supplement.
SECTION 4.02. Establishment of the Collection Account. The
Servicer, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the other Beneficiaries,
shall cause to be established and maintained in the name of the Trust an
Eligible Deposit Account bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds
deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the
other Beneficiaries (the "Collection Account"). The Trustee shall
51
'SS' 4.02
possess all right, title and interest in all funds from time to time on deposit
in, and all Eligible Investments credited to, the Collection Account and in all
proceeds thereof. The Collection Account shall be under the sole dominion and
control of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the other
Beneficiaries. If, at any time, the Collection Account ceases to be an Eligible
Deposit Account, the Servicer shall establish a substitute Eligible Deposit
Account as the Collection Account, instruct the Trustee to transfer any cash
and/or any Eligible Investments to such new Collection Account and, from the
date any such substitute account is established, such account shall be the
Collection Account. Other than as Holder of the Variable Funding Certificate,
the BCRC Certificate or any Supplemental Certificate, neither the Depositor nor
the Servicer, nor any person or entity claiming by, through or under the
Depositor or Servicer, shall have any right, title or interest in, or any right
to withdraw any amount from, the Collection Account. Pursuant to the authority
granted to the Servicer in Section 3.01 hereof, the Servicer shall have the
power, revocable by the Trustee, to instruct the Trustee to make withdrawals and
payments from the Collection Account for the purposes of carrying out the
Servicer's or Trustee's duties specified in this Agreement.
All Eligible Investments shall be held by the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders and the other Beneficiaries. Funds on deposit
in the Collection Account shall at the written direction of the Servicer be
invested by the Trustee solely in Eligible Investments that will mature so that
such funds will be available at the close of business on or before the Business
Day next preceding the following Distribution Date (or on or before 10:00 a.m.
(New York City time) on such following Distribution Date in the case of Eligible
Investments in respect of which the Trustee is the obligor). As of each
Determination Date, all interest and other investment earnings (net of losses
and investment expenses) on funds on deposit in the Collection Account received
on such Determination Date shall be credited to the Collection Account. Schedule
2, which is hereby incorporated into and made part of this Agreement, identifies
the Collection Account by setting forth the account number of such account, the
account designation of such account and the name of the institution with which
such account has been established. If a substitute Collection Account is
established pursuant to this Section 4.02, the Servicer shall provide to the
Trustee an amended Schedule 2, setting forth the relevant information for such
substitute Collection Account.
SECTION 4.03. Allocations and Applications of Collections and
Other Funds. (a) Except as otherwise provided in subsections (b) and (c) of this
Section 4.03, the Servicer shall deposit Collections into the Collection Account
as promptly as possible after receipt of such Collections, but in no event later
than the second Business Day after such receipt. Receipt by BCI's Affiliates of
Collections with respect to Other Account Receivables will not be deemed to be
received by BCI as Servicer until actually received by BCI from such Affiliate.
(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
for so long
52
'SS' 4.03
as (i) BCI remains the Servicer hereunder, (ii) no Servicer Default has occurred
and is continuing and (iii) (x) BCI is a subsidiary of Bombardier Corporation
(which shall own at least 80% of the voting common stock of BCI) and BCI has and
maintains a short-term rating of at least A-1 by Standard & Poor's and P-1 by
Moody's, (y) BCI arranges for and maintains a letter of credit or other form of
Enhancement in respect of the Servicer's obligations to make deposits of
collections on the Receivables in the Collection Account that is acceptable in
form and substance to each Rating Agency or (z) BCI otherwise obtains the Rating
Agency confirmations described below, then, subject to any limitations in the
confirmations described below, the Servicer need not make the deposits of
Collections into the Collection Account as provided in subsection (a) of this
Section 4.03, but may use for its own benefit all such Collections until the
Business Day immediately preceding the related Distribution Date, at which time
BCI will make a single deposit into the Collection Account in same-day or
next-day funds not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) in an amount equal
to the net amount of such deposits and withdrawals which would have been made
had the conditions of this sentence not applied; provided, however, that prior
to ceasing daily deposits as described above BCI shall have delivered to the
Trustee written confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies that the failure
by BCI to make daily deposits will not result in a reduction or withdrawal of
the rating of any outstanding Series or Class.
(c) Subject to Section 4.04 hereof, but notwithstanding anything
else in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to any Collection Period,
whether the Servicer is required to make deposits of Collections pursuant to
subsection (a) or (b) above, (i) the Servicer will only be required to deposit
Collections into the Collection Account up to the aggregate amount of
Collections required to be deposited into all Series Accounts or, without
duplication, distributed on the related Distribution Date to all
Certificateholders or to each Enhancement Provider pursuant to the terms of any
Supplement or Enhancement Agreement and (ii) if at any time prior to such
Distribution Date the amount of Collections deposited in the Collection Account
exceeds the amount required to be deposited pursuant to clause (i) above, the
Servicer will be permitted to withdraw the excess from the Collection Account.
(d) Collections of Non-Principal Receivables and Principal
Receivables, Defaulted Receivables and Miscellaneous Payments will be allocated
to each Series of Certificateholders from and after the Series Cut-Off Date and
to the Holder of the Variable Funding Certificate as specified in the related
Supplement, and amounts so allocated to any Series will not, except as specified
in the related Supplement, be available to the Certificateholders of any other
Series or to the Variable Funding Certificateholder. Similarly, amounts so
allocated to the Variable Funding Certificate will not, except as specified in
the related Supplement, be available to the Certificateholders of any Series.
Allocations thereof among the Investors' Interest, the Variable Funding Interest
and the Retained Interest, between the Investors' Interest and the Variable
Funding Interest, among the Series of Certificateholders and among the Classes
in any Series shall be set forth in this Agreement and
53
'SS' 4.03
in the related Supplement or Supplements.
SECTION 4.04. Unallocated Principal Collections. On each
Distribution Date, (a) the Servicer shall allocate Excess Principal Collections
(as described below) to each Series as set forth in the related Supplement and
(b) the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee to withdraw from the Collection
Account and pay, or make available, to the Depositor for the benefit of the
Holder(s) of the BCRC Certificate and any Supplemental Certificates (i) an
amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the aggregate amount for all
outstanding Series of Principal Collections which the related Supplements
specify are to be treated as "Excess Principal Collections" with respect to such
Distribution Date over (y) the sum of (1) the aggregate amount for all
outstanding Series which the related Supplements specify are "Principal
Shortfalls" with respect to such Distribution Date and, without duplication and
(2) the amount of Principal Collections distributable to the Holder of the
Variable Funding Certificate pursuant to the related Supplement and (ii) the
aggregate amount for all outstanding Series of that portion of Principal
Collections which the related Supplements specify are to be allocated and paid
to the Depositor for the benefit of the Holder(s) of the BCRC Certificate and
any Supplemental Certificates with respect to such Distribution Date; provided,
however, that, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), such amounts shall be paid
to the Depositor only if the Pool Balance for such Distribution Date (determined
after giving effect to any Principal Receivables transferred to the Trust on
such date) exceeds the Required Pool Balance for the immediately preceding
Determination Date (after giving effect to the allocations, distributions,
withdrawals and deposits to be made on the Distribution Date immediately
following such Determination Date). The amount held in the Collection Account
and not paid to the Depositor as a result of the proviso in the preceding
sentence ("Unallocated Principal Collections") shall be paid to the Depositor at
the time the Pool Balance exceeds the Required Pool Balance for the immediately
preceding Determination Date (after giving effect to the allocations,
distributions, withdrawals and deposits to be made on the Distribution Date
immediately following such Determination Date); provided, however, that any
Unallocated Principal Collections on deposit in the Collection Account at any
time during which any Series is in its amortization period, accumulation period
or Early Amortization Period shall be deemed to be "Miscellaneous Payments" and
shall be allocated and distributed in accordance with Section 4.03 hereof and
the terms of each Supplement.
ARTICLE V
Distributions and Reports to
Certificateholders
SECTION 5.01. Distributions and Reports to Certificateholders.
Distributions shall be made to, and reports shall be provided to,
Certificateholders as set forth in the
54
'SS' 5.01
applicable Supplement.
ARTICLE VI
The Certificates
SECTION 6.01. The Certificates. The Investor Certificates of any
Series or Class may be issued in bearer form ("Bearer Certificates") with
attached interest coupons and one or more special coupons (collectively, the
"Coupons") pursuant to Section 6.11 hereof, or in fully registered form
("Registered Certificates") and shall be substantially in the form of the
exhibits with respect thereto attached to the applicable Supplement. The
Variable Funding Certificate shall be issued in registered form and shall be
substantially in the form of the related exhibit attached to the related
Supplement, and shall upon issue, be executed, authenticated and delivered as
provided in Section 6.02 hereof. The BCRC Certificate will be issued in
registered form, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, and shall upon
issue, be executed, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee as provided in
Section 6.02 hereof. Except as otherwise provided in any Supplement, Bearer
Certificates shall be issued in minimum denominations of $5,000, $50,000 and
$100,000 and Registered Certificates shall be issued in minimum denominations of
$1,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. If specified in
any Supplement, the Investor Certificates of any Series or Class shall be issued
upon initial issuance as a single certificate evidencing the aggregate original
principal amount of such Series or Class as described in Section 6.11 hereof.
The Variable Funding Certificate shall be a single certificate and shall
represent the entire Variable Funding Interest. The BCRC Certificate shall be a
single certificate and, together with any Supplemental Certificate, shall
represent the entire Retained Interest. Each Certificate shall be executed by
manual or facsimile signature by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee on behalf
of the Trust. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signature of the
individual who was, at the time when such signature was affixed, authorized to
sign on behalf of the Trustee shall not be rendered invalid, notwithstanding
that such individual ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and
delivery of such Certificates or does not hold such office at the date of such
Certificates. No Certificates shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate
a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein
executed by or on behalf of the Trustee by the manual signature of a duly
authorized signatory, and such certificate upon any Certificate shall be
conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder. Bearer Certificates shall be dated the
Series Issuance Date. All Registered Certificates, all Variable Funding
Certificates, the BCRC Certificate and all Supplemental Certificates shall be
dated the date of their authentication.
SECTION 6.02. Authentication of Certificates. The Trustee shall
authenticate
55
'SS' 6.02
and deliver (x) the Investor Certificates of each Series and Class that are
issued upon original issuance and (y) the Variable Funding Certificate to or
upon the written order of the Depositor. The Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver on behalf of the Trust the Variable Funding Certificate and the BCRC
Certificate to the Depositor simultaneously with its delivery of the Investor
Certificates of the first Series to be issued hereunder. If specified in the
related Supplement for any Series or Class, the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver outside the United States the Global Certificate that is issued upon
original issuance thereof.
SECTION 6.03. New Issuances. (a) The Depositor may from time to
time direct the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, to issue (i) one or more new
Series of Investor Certificates and/or (ii) to issue the Variable Funding
Certificate, in each case pursuant to a Supplement. The Investor Certificates of
all outstanding Series and the Variable Funding Certificate shall be equally and
ratably entitled as provided herein to the benefits of this Agreement without
preference, priority or distinction, all in accordance with the terms and
provisions of this Agreement and the applicable Supplement except, with respect
to any Series or Class or the Variable Funding Certificate, as provided in the
related Supplement.
(b) On or before the Series Issuance Date relating to any new
Series, the parties hereto will execute and deliver a Supplement which will
specify the Principal Terms of such new Series. The terms of such Supplement may
modify or amend the terms of this Agreement solely as applied to such new
Series. The obligation of the Trustee to issue the Investor Certificates of such
new Series and to execute and deliver the related Supplement is subject to the
satisfaction of the following conditions:
(i) on or before the fifth Business Day immediately preceding the
related Series Issuance Date, the Depositor shall have given the Trustee,
the Servicer, each Rating Agency, any Agent and any Enhancement Provider
written notice of such issuance (which notice shall specify the
designation of such Series, its applicable initial principal amount,
currency and interest rates and the issuer of any Enhancement) and the
related Series Issuance Date;
(ii) the Depositor shall have delivered to the Trustee the related
Supplement, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, executed by each party
hereto other than the Trustee and specifying the Principal Terms of such
Series;
(iii) the Depositor shall have delivered to the Trustee any
related Enhancement Agreement executed by each of the parties thereto,
other than the Trustee;
(iv) the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with
respect to such issuance;
56
'SS' 6.03
(v) the Depositor shall have delivered to the Trustee and any
Enhancement Provider a certificate of a Vice President or more senior
officer, dated the related Series Issuance Date, to the effect that the
Depositor reasonably believes that such issuance will not result in the
occurrence of an Early Amortization Event;
(vi) the Depositor shall have delivered to the Trustee and any
Enhancement Provider a Tax Opinion, dated the related Series Issuance
Date, with respect to such issuance; and
(vii) BCRC shall have an interest in the Pool represented by the
BCRC Certificate and the Variable Funding Certificate equal in the
aggregate to at least 2% of the aggregate amount of Receivables included
in the Pool, in each case as of the Series Issuance Date, and after
giving effect to such issuance; for purposes of this clause (vii), BCRC
shall be deemed to have an interest in the Pool represented by the
Variable Funding Certificate even though BCI, as pledgee, is the
registered holder thereof so long as BCI has not exercised its remedies
in respect thereof.
Upon satisfaction of the above conditions, the Trustee shall execute the
Supplement and the Depositor shall deliver to the Trustee the Investor
Certificates of such Series or Variable Funding Certificate, as applicable, for
execution by the Trustee on behalf of the Trust and authentication by the
Trustee.
(c) On or before the date of issuance for the Variable Funding
Certificate, the parties hereto will execute and deliver a Supplement specifying
the terms of the Variable Funding Certificate (which Supplement shall be subject
to Section 13.01 hereof to the extent it amends any of the terms of this
Agreement), upon satisfaction of the following conditions:
(i) BCRC shall have an interest in the Pool represented by the
BCRC Certificate and the Variable Funding Certificate equal in the
aggregate to at least 2% of the aggregate amount of Receivables included
in the Pool, in each case as of the date of, and after giving effect to,
such issuance (or transfer or exchange as provided below); for purposes
of this clause (i), BCRC shall be deemed to have an interest in the Pool
represented by the Variable Funding Certificate even though BCI, as
pledgee, is the registered holder thereof so long as BCI has not
exercised its remedies in respect thereof;
(ii) the Depositor shall have given the Rating Agencies ten (10)
days' prior notice and the Rating Agency Condition shall have been
satisfied with respect to such exchange (or transfer or exchange as
provided below); and
57
'SS' 6.03
(iii) the Depositor shall have delivered to the Trustee, and any
Enhancement Provider a Tax Opinion, dated the date of such exchange (or
transfer or exchange as provided below), with respect thereto.
Upon satisfaction of the above conditions, the Trustee shall execute the related
Supplement and the Depositor shall deliver to the Trustee the Variable Funding
Certificate for execution by the Trustee on behalf of the Trust and
authentication by the Trustee. It is hereby agreed by the parties hereto that
the foregoing conditions are deemed to have been satisfied with respect to the
initial issuance of the Variable Funding Certificate on the first Closing Date.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) except for a
pledge of the Variable Funding Certificate by BCRC to BCI (which pledge, or the
exercise by BCI, as pledgee, of its remedies pursuant thereto, shall not be
required to meet the conditions set forth in clauses (ii) and (iii) set forth
above), the Variable Funding Certificate may not be transferred, assigned,
exchanged, pledged or otherwise conveyed unless the conditions set forth in
clauses (ii) and (iii) above have been satisfied and (ii) the Trustee shall not
register the transfer of the Variable Funding Certificate except upon receipt of
written instructions of the Depositor to effect such transfer upon receipt by
the Depositor of reasonable assurances that such transfer complies with the
provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
(d) The Depositor may surrender the BCRC Certificate to the
Trustee in exchange for a newly issued BCRC Certificate and a second certificate
(a "Supplemental Certificate"), the terms of which shall be defined in a
supplement to this Agreement (which Supplement shall be subject to Section 13.01
hereof to the extent that it amends any of the terms of this Agreement), to be
delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor (or the Holder of a Supplemental
Certificate, in the case of the transfer or exchange thereof, as provided
below), upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and
(iii) of subsection (c) of this Section 6.03.
The BCRC Certificate will at all times be beneficially owned by the Depositor.
Any Supplemental Certificate may be transferred or exchanged only upon
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clauses (ii) and (iii) of subsection
(c) of this Section 6.03.
SECTION 6.04. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of
Certificates. (a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept at the office or agency to
be maintained in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.16 hereof a
register (the "Certificate Register") in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, a transfer agent and registrar (which shall
initially be the Trustee) (the "Transfer Agent and Registrar") shall provide for
the registration of the Registered Certificates and the Variable Funding
Certificate and of transfers, pledges and exchanges of such Certificates as
herein provided. The Transfer Agent and Registrar shall initially be the Trustee
and any co-transfer agent and co-registrar chosen by the Depositor and
58
'SS' 6.04
acceptable to the Trustee. So long as (x) the Trustee does not have an office in
New York City and (y) any Investor Certificates or the Variable Funding
Certificate is outstanding, the Depositor shall maintain a co-transfer agent and
co-registrar in New York City. Any reference in this Agreement to the Transfer
Agent and Registrar shall include any co-transfer agent and co-registrar unless
the context requires otherwise.
Subject to subsection (c) below, upon surrender for registration
of transfer of any Registered Certificate at any office or agency of the
Transfer Agent and Registrar maintained for such purpose, one or more new
Registered Certificates (of the same Series and Class) in authorized
denominations of like aggregate fractional undivided interests in the Investors'
Interest shall be executed, authenticated and delivered, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees.
At the option of a Registered Certificateholder, Registered
Certificates (of the same Series and Class) may be exchanged for other
Registered Certificates of authorized denominations of like aggregate fractional
undivided interests in the Investors' Interest, upon surrender of the Registered
Certificates to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Registered
Certificates, including Registered Certificates received in exchange for Bearer
Certificates, may not be exchanged for Bearer Certificates. At the option of the
Holder of a Bearer Certificate, subject to applicable laws and regulations,
Bearer Certificates may be exchanged for other Bearer Certificates or Registered
Certificates (of the same Series and Class) of authorized denominations of like
aggregate fractional undivided interests in the Investors' Interest, upon
surrender of the Bearer Certificates to be exchanged at an office or agency of
the Transfer Agent and Registrar located outside the United States. Each Bearer
Certificate surrendered pursuant to this Section 6.04 shall have attached
thereto all unmatured Coupons; provided, that any Bearer Certificate, so
surrendered after the close of business on the Record Date preceding the
relevant payment date or distribution date after the expected final payment date
need not have attached the Coupon relating to such payment date or distribution
date (in each case, as specified in the applicable Supplement).
The preceding provisions of this Section 6.04 notwithstanding, the
Trustee or the Transfer Agent and Registrar, as the case may be, shall not be
required to register the transfer of or exchange any Certificate for a period of
fifteen (15) days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to the
Certificate.
Whenever any Investor Certificates are so surrendered for
exchange, the Trustee shall execute, on behalf of the Trust, and authenticate
and the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall deliver (in the case of Bearer
Certificates, outside the United States) the Investor Certificates which the
Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Investor
Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in a form satisfactory
to the Trustee
59
'SS' 6.04
or the Transfer Agent and Registrar duly executed by the Certificateholder or
the attorney-in-fact thereof duly authorized in writing.
Unless otherwise provided in the related Supplement, no service
charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Investor
Certificates, but the Transfer Agent and Registrar may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any such transfer or exchange.
All Investor Certificates (together with any Coupons) surrendered
for registration of transfer and exchange or for payment shall be canceled and
disposed of in a manner satisfactory to the Trustee. The Trustee shall cancel
and destroy any Global Certificate upon its exchange in full for Definitive
Euro-Certificates and shall deliver a certificate of destruction to the
Depositor. Such certificate shall also state that a certificate or certificates
of a Foreign Clearing Agency to the effect referred to in Section 6.11 hereof
was received with respect to each portion of the Global Certificate exchanged
for Definitive Euro-Certificates.
The Depositor shall deliver to the Trustee Bearer Certificates and
Registered Certificates in such amounts and at such times as are necessary to
enable the Trustee to fulfill its responsibilities under this Agreement and the
Certificates.
(b) The Transfer Agent and Registrar will maintain at its expense
in each of the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency
where Investor Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange (except that Bearer Certificates may not be surrendered for exchange at
any such office or agency in the United States).
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Trustee
shall not exchange the Variable Funding Certificate for other Variable Funding
Certificates of like aggregate undivided interests in the Trust or register any
transfer of the Variable Funding Certificate except upon receipt of written
instructions from the Depositor to effect such exchange or registration of
transfer upon receipt by the Depositor of reasonable assurances that such
proposed exchange or transfer complies with the provisions of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended.
(d)(i) Registration of transfer of Investor Certificates
containing a legend to the effect set forth on Exhibit D-1 hereto shall be
effected only if such transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Act, or is exempt from the registration requirements under
the Act. In the event that registration of a transfer is to be made in reliance
upon an exemption from the registration requirements under the Act, the
transferor or the transferee shall deliver, at its expense, to the Depositor,
the Servicer and the Trustee, an
60
'SS' 6.04
investment letter from the transferee, substantially in the form attached to the
applicable Supplement, and no registration of transfer shall be made until such
letter is so delivered.
Investor Certificates issued upon registration or transfer of, or
Investor Certificates issued in exchange for, Investor Certificates bearing the
legend referred to above shall also bear such legend unless the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Trustee and the Transfer Agent and Registrar receive an opinion of
counsel, satisfactory to each of them, to the effect that such legend may be
removed.
Whenever an Investor Certificate containing the legend referred to
above is presented to the Transfer Agent and Registrar for registration of
transfer, the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall promptly seek written
instructions from the Servicer regarding such transfer and shall be entitled to
receive and conclusively rely upon instructions signed by a Servicing Officer
prior to registering any such transfer. The Depositor hereby agrees to indemnify
the Transfer Agent and Registrar and the Trustee and to hold each of them
harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or
bad faith on their part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or
omitted by them in relation to any such instructions furnished pursuant to this
clause (i).
(ii) Registration of transfer of Investor Certificates containing
a legend to the effect set forth on Exhibit D-2 hereto shall be effected only if
such transfer is made to a Person which is not an employee benefit plan, trust
or account, including an individual retirement account, that is subject to ERISA
or that is described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code or an entity whose
underlying assets include plan assets by reason of a plan's investment in such
entity (a "Benefit Plan"). By accepting and holding any such Investor
Certificate, a Certificateholder shall be deemed to have represented and
warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan. By acquiring any interest in a
Book-Entry Certificate, a Certificate Owner shall be deemed to have represented
and warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan.
SECTION 6.05. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (a) any mutilated Certificate (together, in the case of Bearer Certificates,
with all unmatured Coupons (if any) appertaining thereto) is surrendered to the
Transfer Agent and Registrar, or the Transfer Agent and Registrar receives
evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Transfer Agent and Registrar and
the Trustee and BCRC such security or indemnity as may be required by them to
save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee that
such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall
execute, on behalf of the Trust, and authenticate, and the Transfer Agent and
Registrar shall deliver (in the case of Bearer Certificates, outside the United
States), in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and aggregate fractional
undivided interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under
this Section
61
'SS' 6.05
6.05, the Trustee or the Transfer Agent and Registrar may require the payment by
the Certificateholder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including
the fees and expenses of the Trustee and Transfer Agent and Registrar) connected
therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 6.05 shall
constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if
originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate
shall be found at any time.
SECTION 6.06. Persons Deemed Owners. The Trustee, the Transfer
Agent and Registrar and any agent of any of them may (a) prior to due
presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer, treat the Person or
Persons in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such
Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to the terms of
the applicable Supplement and for all other purposes whatsoever and (b) treat
the bearer of a Bearer Certificate or Coupon as the owner of such Bearer
Certificate or Coupon for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to the
terms of the applicable Supplement and for all other purposes whatsoever; and,
in any such case, neither the Trustee, the Transfer Agent and Registrar nor any
agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in determining whether the Holders of the
requisite Investor Certificates have given any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, Investor Certificates owned by
the Depositor, the Servicer, any other Holder of the BCRC Certificate or a
Supplemental Certificate or any Affiliate thereof, shall be disregarded and
deemed not to be outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee
shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Investor Certificates which a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded.
Investor Certificates so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not
be disregarded and may be regarded as outstanding if the pledgee establishes to
the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right so to act with respect to
such Investor Certificates and that the pledgee is not the Depositor, the
Servicer, any other Holder of the BCRC Certificate or a Supplemental Certificate
or any Affiliate thereof.
SECTION 6.07. Access to List of Registered Certificateholders'
Names and Addresses. The Trustee will furnish or cause to be furnished by the
Transfer Agent and Registrar to the Servicer, within five (5) Business Days
after receipt by the Trustee of a request therefor, a list in such form as the
Servicer may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Registered
Certificateholders. If three or more Holders of Investor Certificates (the
"Applicants") apply to the Trustee, and such application states that the
Applicants desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to
their rights under this Agreement or any Supplement or under the Investor
Certificates and is accompanied by a copy of the communication which such
Applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee, after having been indemnified
to its reasonable satisfaction by such Applicants for its costs and
62
'SS' 6.07
expenses, shall afford or shall cause the Transfer Agent and Registrar to afford
such Applicants access during normal business hours to the most recent list of
Registered Certificateholders of such Series or all outstanding Series, as
applicable, held by the Trustee, within five (5) Business Days after the receipt
of such application. Such list shall be as of a date no more than forty-five
(45) days prior to the date of receipt of such Applicants' request.
Every Registered Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a
Registered Certificate, agrees with the Trustee that neither the Trustee, the
Transfer Agent and Registrar, nor any of their respective agents, shall be held
accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names
and addresses of the Registered Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the
sources from which such information was derived.
SECTION 6.08. Book-Entry Certificates. Unless otherwise specified
in the related Supplement for any Series or Class, the Investor Certificates,
upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of one or more typewritten
Investor Certificates representing the Book-Entry Certificates, to be delivered
to the Depository, by, or on behalf of, the Depositor. The Investor Certificates
shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of the
Depository or its nominee, and no Certificate Owner will receive a definitive
certificate representing such Certificate Owner's interest in the Investor
Certificates, except as provided in Section 6.10 hereof. Unless and until
definitive, fully registered Investor Certificates ("Definitive Certificates")
have been issued to the applicable Certificate Owners pursuant to Section 6.10
hereof or as otherwise specified in any such Supplement:
(a) the provisions of this Section 6.08 shall be in full force and
effect;
(b) the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee may deal with the
Depository and the Depository Participants for all purposes (including
the making of distributions) as the authorized representatives of the
respective Certificate Owners;
(c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 6.08
conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of
this Section 6.08 shall control; and
(d) the rights of the respective Certificate Owners shall be
exercised only through the Depository and the Depository Participants and
shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such
Certificate Owners and the Depository and/or the Depository Participants.
Pursuant to the Depository Agreement, unless and until Definitive
Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 6.10 hereof, the Depository
will make book-entry transfers among the Depository Participants and
receive and transmit distributions of principal and interest on the
related Investor Certificates to such Depository Participants.
63
'SS' 6.08
For purposes of any provision of this Agreement requiring or
permitting actions with the consent of, or at the direction of,
Certificateholders evidencing a specified percentage of the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of Investor Certificates, such direction or consent may be
given by Certificate Owners (acting through the Depository and the Depository
Participants) owning Investor Certificates evidencing the requisite percentage
of principal amount of Investor Certificates.
SECTION 6.09. Notices to Depository. Whenever any notice or other
communication is required to be given to Certificateholders of any Series or
Class with respect to which Book-Entry Certificates have been issued, unless and
until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to the related Certificate
Owners, the Trustee shall give all such notices and communications to the
applicable Depository.
SECTION 6.10. Definitive Certificates. If Book-Entry Certificates
have been issued with respect to any Series or Class and (a) the Depositor
advises the Trustee that the Depository is no longer willing or able to
discharge properly its responsibilities under the Depository Agreement with
respect to such Series or Class and the Depositor is unable to locate a
qualified successor, (b) the Depositor, at its option, advises the Trustee that
it elects to terminate the book-entry system with respect to such Series or
Class through the Depository or (c) after the occurrence of a Servicer Default,
Certificate Owners of such Series or Class evidencing not less than 50% of the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Series or Class advise the Trustee and
the Depository through the Depository Participants that the continuation of a
book-entry system with respect to the Investor Certificates of such Series or
Class through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of the
Certificate Owners with respect to such Certificates, then the Trustee shall
notify all Certificate Owners of such Certificates, through the Depository, of
the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive
Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the
Trustee of any such Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration
instructions from the Depository for registration, the Trustee shall execute, on
behalf of the Trust, and authenticate and deliver such Definitive Certificates.
Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery
of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in
relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of such Definitive Certificates
all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the
Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to
the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates and the
Trustee shall recognize the Holders of such Definitive Certificates as
Certificateholders hereunder.
SECTION 6.11. Global Certificate; Exchange Date. (a) If specified
in the related Supplement for any Series or Class, the Investor Certificates
will initially be issued in the form of a single temporary global Certificate
(the "Global Certificate") in bearer form,
64
'SS' 6.11
without interest coupons, in the denomination of the entire aggregate principal
amount of such Series or Class and substantially in the form set forth in the
exhibit with respect thereto attached to the related Supplement. The Global
Certificate will be executed by the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, and
authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions, in substantially the same
manner and with the same effect as the Definitive Certificates. The Global
Certificate may be exchanged as described below for Bearer or Registered
Certificates in definitive form (the "Definitive Euro-Certificates").
(b) The Manager shall, upon its determination of the date of
completion of the distribution of the Investor Certificates of such Series or
Class, so advise the Trustee, the Depositor, the Common Depositary, and each
Foreign Clearing Agency forthwith. Without unnecessary delay, but in any event
not prior to the Exchange Date, the Depositor will deliver to the Trustee at its
London office or its designated agent outside the United States definitive
Bearer Certificates in an aggregate principal amount equal to the entire
aggregate principal amount of such Series or Class. All Bearer Certificates so
issued and delivered will have Coupons attached. The Global Certificate may be
exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive
Euro-Certificates only on or after the Exchange Date. A United States
institutional investor may exchange the portion of the Global Certificate
beneficially owned by it only for an equal aggregate principal amount of
Registered Certificates bearing the applicable legend set forth in the form of
Registered Certificate attached to the related Supplement and having a minimum
denomination of $500,000, which may be in temporary form if the Depositor so
elects. The Depositor may waive the $500,000 minimum denomination requirement if
it so elects. Upon any demand for exchange for Definitive Euro-Certificates in
accordance with this subsection (b), the Depositor shall cause the Trustee to
authenticate and deliver the Definitive Euro-Certificates to the Holder (x)
outside the United States, in the case of Bearer Certificates, and (y) according
to the instructions of the Holder, in the case of Registered Certificates, but
in either case only upon presentation to the Trustee of a written statement
substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 hereto with respect to the Global
Certificate or portion thereof being exchanged, signed by a Foreign Clearing
Agency and dated on the Exchange Date or a subsequent date, to the effect that
it has received in writing or by tested telex a certification substantially in
the form of (i) in the case of beneficial ownership of the Global Certificate or
a portion thereof being exchanged by a United States institutional investor
pursuant to the second preceding sentence, the certificate in the form of
Exhibit F-2 hereof signed by the Manager which sold the relevant Certificates or
(ii) in all other cases, the certificate in the form of Exhibit F-3 hereto, the
certificate referred to in this clause (ii) being dated on the earlier of the
first actual payment of interest in respect of such Certificates and the date of
the delivery of such Certificate in definitive form. Upon receipt of such
certification, the Trustee shall cause the Global Certificate to be endorsed in
accordance with subsection (d) below. Any exchange as provided in this Section
6.11 shall be made free of charge to the Holders and the beneficial owners of
the Global Certificate and to the beneficial owners of the Definitive
Euro-Certificates issued in exchange, except that a person
65
'SS' 6.11
receiving Definitive Euro-Certificates must bear the cost of insurance, postage,
transportation and the like in the event that such person does not receive such
Definitive Euro-Certificates in person at the offices of a Foreign Clearing
Agency.
(c) The delivery to the Trustee by a Foreign Clearing Agency of
any written statement referred to above may be relied upon by the Depositor and
the Trustee as conclusive evidence that a corresponding certification or
certifications has or have been delivered to such Foreign Clearing Agency
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
(d) Upon any such exchange of all or a portion of the Global
Certificate for a Definitive Euro-Certificate or Certificates, such Global
Certificate shall be endorsed by or on behalf of the Trustee to reflect the
reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal to the aggregate principal
amount of such Definitive Euro-Certificate or Certificates. Until so exchanged
in full, such Global Certificate shall in all respects be entitled to the same
benefits under this Agreement as Definitive Euro-Certificates authenticated and
delivered hereunder except that the beneficial owners of such Global Certificate
shall not be entitled to receive payments of interest on the Certificates until
they have exchanged their beneficial interests in such Global Certificate for
Definitive Euro-Certificates.
SECTION 6.12. Meetings of Investor Certificateholders. (a) If at
the time any Bearer Certificates are issued and outstanding with respect to any
Series or Class to which any meeting described below relates, the Servicer or
the Trustee may at any time call a meeting of Investor Certificateholders of any
Series or Class or of all Series, to be held at such time and at such place as
the Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall determine, for the
purpose of approving a modification of or amendment to, or obtaining a waiver of
any covenant or condition set forth in, this Agreement, any Supplement or the
Investor Certificates or of taking any other action permitted to be taken by

(b) At a meeting of Investor Certificateholders, persons entitled
to vote Investor Certificates evidencing a majority of the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of the
66
'SS' 6.12
applicable Series or Class or all outstanding Series, as the case may be, shall
constitute a quorum. No business shall be transacted in the absence of a quorum,
unless a quorum is present when the meeting is called to order. In the absence
of a quorum at any such meeting, the meeting may be adjourned for a period of
not less than ten (10) days; in the absence of a quorum at any such adjourned
meeting, such adjourned meeting may be further adjourned for a period of not
less than ten (10) days; at the reconvening of any meeting further adjourned for
lack of a quorum, the persons entitled to vote Investor Certificates evidencing
at least 25% of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the applicable Series
or Class or all outstanding Series, as the case may be, shall constitute a
quorum for the taking of any action set forth in the notice of the original
meeting. Notice of the reconvening of any adjourned meeting shall be given as
provided above except that such notice must be given not less than five (5) days
prior to the date on which the meeting is scheduled to be reconvened. Notice of
the reconvening of any adjourned meeting shall state expressly the percentage of
the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding applicable Investor
Certificates which shall constitute a quorum.
(c) Any Investor Certificateholder who has executed an instrument
in writing appointing a person as proxy shall be deemed to be present for the
purposes of determining a quorum and be deemed to have voted; provided, that
such Investor Certificateholder shall be considered as present or voting only
with respect to the matters covered by such instrument in writing. Subject to
the provisions of Section 13.01 hereof, any resolution passed or decision taken
at any meeting of Investor Certificateholders duly held in accordance with this
Section 6.12 shall be binding on all Investor Certificateholders whether or not
present or represented at the meeting.
(d) The holding of Bearer Certificates shall be proved by the
production of such Bearer Certificates or by a certificate, satisfactory to the
Servicer, executed by any bank, trust company or recognized securities dealer,
wherever situated, satisfactory to the Servicer. Each such certificate shall be
dated and shall state that on the date thereof a Bearer Certificate bearing a
specified serial number was deposited with or exhibited to such bank, trust
company or recognized securities dealer by the person named in such certificate.
Any such certificate may be issued in respect of one or more Bearer Certificates
specified therein. The holding by the person named in any such certificate of
any Bearer Certificate specified therein shall be presumed to continue for a
period of one year from the date of such certificate unless at the time of any
determination of such holding (i) another certificate bearing a later date
issued in respect of the same Bearer Certificate shall be produced, (ii) the
Bearer Certificate specified in such certificate shall be produced by some other
person or (iii) the Bearer Certificate specified in such certificate shall have
ceased to be outstanding. The appointment of any proxy shall be proved by having
the signature of the person executing the proxy guaranteed by any bank, trust
company or recognized securities dealer satisfactory to the Trustee.
67
'SS' 6.12
(e) The Trustee shall appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting.
A permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected
by vote of the Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing a majority of the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of Investor Certificates of the applicable
Series or Class or all outstanding Series, as the case may be, represented at
the meeting. No vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any
Investors Certificate challenged as not outstanding and ruled by the chairman of
the meeting to be not outstanding. The chairman of the meeting shall have no
right to vote except as an Investor Certificateholder or proxy. Any meeting of
Investor Certificateholders duly called at which a quorum is present may be
adjourned from time to time, and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without
further notice.
(f) The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of
Investor Certificateholders shall be by written ballot on which shall be
subscribed the signatures of Investor Certificateholders or proxies and on which

held or represented by them. The permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint
two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or
against any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the
meeting their verified written reports in duplicate of all votes cast at the
meeting. A record in duplicate of the proceedings of each meeting of Investor
Certificateholders shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there
shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes
on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more persons having
knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and
showing that said notice was published as provided above. The record shall be
signed and verified by the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and
one of the duplicates shall be delivered to the Servicer and the other to the
Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the
ballots voted at the meeting. Any record so signed and verified shall be

hereof, in the ordinary course of business, the Servicer or any Affiliate of BCI
servicing Receivables may at any time delegate any duties hereunder to any

any such delegation of a material function to the Rating Agencies, any Agent and
any Enhancement Providers. Such delegation shall not relieve the Servicer of its
liability and responsibility with respect to such duties, and shall not
constitute a resignation within the meaning of Section 8.05 hereof and the
Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with respect to such
delegation prior to such delegation. It is understood that Affiliates of BCI
perform servicing activities on behalf of BCI with respect to certain

receiver, liquidator, trustee, assignee, sequestrator, or other similar
official in bankruptcy or insolvency of Bombardier Corporation, the
Depositor or the Servicer (or BCI, as aforesaid) or of any substantial
part of its property or for the winding up or liquidation of its
affairs, shall have been entered, and such decree or order shall have
remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a
73
'SS' 9.01
period of one hundred and twenty (120) days;
(d) failure on the part of the Depositor, the Servicer or BCI,
as applicable, to:
(i) make any payment or deposit (including but not
limited to any Transfer Deposit Amount or Adjustment Payment)
required by the terms of this Agreement on or before the date
occurring five (5) Business Days after the date such payment
or deposit is required to be made herein, which failure is not
cured within five (5) Business Days after notice from the
Trustee of such failure; or
(ii) with respect to any Series, deliver a Distribution
Date Statement within ten (10) Business Days after notice from
the Trustee of such failure to deliver such Distribution Date
Statement; or
(iii) duly comply with, observe or perform in any material
respect the covenant of the Depositor set forth in Section
2.06(a) hereof with respect to any Receivable, which failure,
in the case of this clause (iii), has a material adverse
effect on the interests of the Holders of the Investor
Certificates or the Holder of the Variable Funding Certificate
and continues unremedied for a period of sixty (60) days after
the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring
the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the
Depositor by the Trustee or any Enhancement Provider;
provided, however, than an Early Amortization Event shall not
be deemed to have occurred if the Depositor shall have
repurchased the related Receivables or, if applicable, all of
the Receivables during such period in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement; or
(iv) duly observe or perform in any material respect any
other covenants or agreements of the Depositor or the
Servicer, as the case may be, set forth in this Agreement
which failure, in the case of this clause (iv), has a material
adverse effect on the interests of the Holders of the Investor
Certificates or the Holder of the Variable Funding Certificate
and continues unremedied for a period of forty-five (45) days
after the date on which written notice of such failure,
requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to
the Depositor by the Trustee or any Enhancement Provider;
(e) any representation or warranty made by the Depositor in
this Agreement or any information contained in a computer file or
microfiche or written list required to be delivered by the Depositor
pursuant to Section 2.01, Section 2.05, Section 2.07 or Section 2.08
hereof, (i) shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect
when
74
'SS' 9.01
made or when delivered, and shall continue to be incorrect in any
material respect for a period of sixty (60) days (or such longer period
as may be specified in such notice) after the date on which written
notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have
been given to the Depositor by the Trustee and (ii) as a result of such
incorrectness the interests of the Holders of the Investor Certificates
or the Holder of the Variable Funding Certificate are materially and
adversely affected (excluding, however, the representation and warranty
made by the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.03(m) hereof if this
Agreement constitutes the grant of a perfected security interest in the
Receivables and Collateral Security (and the proceeds thereof) under
the UCC as then in effect in the State of Vermont transferred to the
Trust hereunder); provided, however, that an Early Amortization Event
shall not be deemed to have occurred under this subsection (e) if the
Depositor has repurchased the related Receivable or all such
Receivables, if applicable, during such period in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement;
(f) the Trust or the Depositor shall become an "investment
company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended; or
(g) the occurrence of a Liquidation Event;
then, subject to applicable law, and after the applicable grace period, if any,
an amortization event (an "Early Amortization Event") shall occur without any
notice or other action on the part of the Trustee, any Agent, the
Certificateholders or any other Beneficiary, immediately upon the occurrence of
such event.
SECTION 9.02. Additional Rights Upon the Occurrence of Certain
Events. (a) If a Liquidation Event occurs or the Depositor violates Section
2.06(a) hereof for any reason (and such violation becomes an "Early Amortization
Event" under subclause (iii) of Section 9.01(d) hereof), BCRC shall on the day
such Liquidation Event or Early Amortization Event occurs because of such
violation (the "Appointment Date") immediately cease to transfer Receivables to
the Trust and shall promptly give notice to the Trustee of such Liquidation
Event or Early Amortization Event occurring because of such violation.
Notwithstanding any cessation of the transfer to the Trust of additional
Receivables, Receivables transferred to the Trust prior to the occurrence of
such Liquidation Event or Early Amortization Event occurring because of such
violation and Collections in respect of such Receivables whenever created or
accrued in respect of such Receivables, shall continue to be a part of the
Trust. Furthermore, within fifteen (15) days of the date of an event specified
in Section 9.01(b) or Section 9.01(c) hereof with respect to the Depositor or an
Early Amortization Event occurring due to the Depositor violating Section
2.06(a) hereof for any reason, the Trustee shall (i) publish a notice in an
Authorized Newspaper that such event or Early Amortization Event has occurred
and that the Trustee intends to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate the
Receivables on
75
'SS' 9.02
commercially reasonable terms and in a commercially reasonable manner and (ii)
give notice to Registered Certificateholders and the Holder of the Variable
Funding Certificate describing the provisions of this Section 9.02 and
requesting instructions from such Holders. Unless the Trustee shall have
received instructions within ninety (90) days from the date notice pursuant to
clause (ii) above is first given from (x) Holders of Investor Certificates
evidencing more than 50% of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of each Series
or, with respect to any Series with two or more Classes, of each Class, to the
effect that such Certificateholders disapprove of the liquidation of the
Receivables, and (y) the Holder of the Variable Funding Certificate to such
effect, then the Trustee shall promptly sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate
the Receivables, or cause to be sold, disposed of or otherwise liquidated, in a
commercially reasonable manner and on commercially reasonable terms, which shall
include the solicitation of competitive bids; provided that if such sale,
disposition or liquidation is being made solely on account of the Depositor's
violation of Section 2.06(a) hereof, then the Trustee shall effect such sale,
disposition or liquidation, to be effected only if the net proceeds of such
sale, disposition or liquidation, applied in accordance with subsection (b) of
this Section 9.02, will be sufficient to pay accrued interest on each Series of
Certificates plus the outstanding principal balance of each Series of
Certificates. The Trustee may obtain and conclusively rely upon a prior
determination from any applicable conservator, receiver or liquidator that the
terms and manner of any proposed sale, disposition or liquidation are
commercially reasonable. The provisions of Section 9.01 hereof and this Section
9.02 shall not be deemed to be mutually exclusive.
(b) The proceeds from the sale, disposition or liquidation of
the Receivables pursuant to subsection (a) above ("Trust Liquidation Proceeds")
shall be immediately deposited in the Collection Account. The Trustee shall
determine conclusively the amount of the Trust Liquidation Proceeds which are
deemed to be Non-Principal Receivables and Principal Receivables. The Trust
Liquidation Proceeds shall be allocated and distributed to Certificateholders
and the Holder of the Variable Funding Certificate in accordance with Article IV
hereof and the terms of each Supplement and the Trust shall terminate
immediately thereafter.
ARTICLE X
Servicer Defaults
SECTION 10.01. Servicer Defaults. If any one of the following events (a
"Servicer Default") shall occur and be continuing with respect to the Servicer:
(a) the failure by the Servicer to make any payment, transfer
or deposit into the Trust (or into any Series Account) on or before the
date such payment, transfer or
76
'SS' 10.01
deposit is required to be made under the terms of this Agreement, which
failure is not cured within five (5) Business Days following notice
thereof from the Trustee;
(b) failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or
perform its covenant not to create any lien on any Receivable which
failure has a material adverse effect on the Certificateholders and
which continues unremedied for a period of sixty (60) days after
written notice to it of such failure; provided, however, that a
"Servicer Default" shall not be deemed to have occurred if BCRC or the
Servicer shall have repurchased the related Receivables or, if
applicable, all of the Receivables during such period in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement;
(c) failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or
perform any covenants or agreements of the Servicer set forth in this
Agreement (other than with respect to those specified in clause (b)
above and with respect to clauses (vii), (viii) and (ix) under Section
3.03(a) hereof, to the extent the terms of Section 3.03(c) hereof have
been complied with) which failure has a material adverse effect on the
Certificateholders or the Variable Funding Certificateholder and which
continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the date on
which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be
remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Trustee;
(d) any representation, warranty or certification made by the
Servicer in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant to
this Agreement shall prove to have been incorrect when made and which
continues to be incorrect in any material respect for a period of sixty
(60) days after the date on which written notice thereof, requiring the
same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the
Trustee and as a result of which the interests of the
Certificateholders or the Variable Funding Certificateholder are
materially and adversely affected; provided, however, that a "Servicer
Default" shall not be deemed to have occurred if BCRC shall have
repurchased the related Receivables or, if applicable, all of the
Receivables during such period in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement; or
(e) the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a
conservator or receiver or liquidator or other similar official in any
bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and
liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Servicer or of
or relating to all or substantially all of its property, or a decree or
order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction
in the premises for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or
liquidator or other similar official in any insolvency, readjustment of
debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or
for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been
entered against the Servicer and such decree or order shall have
remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty (60)
days; or the Servicer shall admit in writing its
77
'SS' 10.01
inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a
petition to take advantage of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization statute, make any assignment for the benefit of its
creditors or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations.
In the event of any Servicer Default, so long as the Servicer
Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, by notice then given in
writing to the Servicer (a "Termination Notice"), may terminate all but not
less than all of the rights and obligations (other than its obligations that
have accrued up to the time of such termination) of the Servicer as Servicer
under this Agreement and in and to the Receivables and the proceeds thereof.
After receipt by the Servicer of a Termination Notice, and on the date that a
Successor Servicer shall have been appointed by the Trustee pursuant to Section
10.02 hereof, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement shall
pass to and be vested in a Successor Servicer (a "Service Transfer") and,
without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered (upon the
failure of the Servicer to cooperate) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments
upon the failure of the Servicer to execute or deliver such documents or
instruments, and to do and accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such Service Transfer; provided, however,
that in no event shall the Servicer incur any liability for any such action
taken by the Trustee. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee and such
Successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and
rights of the Servicer to conduct servicing hereunder, including the transfer to
such Successor Servicer of all authority of the Servicer to service the
Receivables provided for under this Agreement, including all authority over all
Collections which shall on the date of transfer be held by the Servicer for
deposit, or which have been deposited by the Servicer, in the Collection
Account, or which shall thereafter be received with respect to the Receivables,
and in assisting the Successor Servicer. The Servicer shall promptly transfer
its electronic records relating to the Receivables to the Successor Servicer in
such electronic form as the Successor Servicer may reasonably request and shall
promptly transfer to the Successor Servicer all other records, correspondence
and documents necessary for the continued servicing of the Receivables in the
manner and at such times as the Successor Servicer shall reasonably request. To
the extent that compliance with this Section 10.01 shall require the Servicer to
disclose to the Successor Servicer information of any kind which the Servicer
reasonably deems to be confidential, the Successor Servicer shall be required to
enter into such customary licensing and confidentiality agreements as the
Servicer shall deem necessary to protect its interest.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a delay in or failure of
performance under subsection (a) of this Section 10.01 for a period of up to ten
(10) Business Days after the applicable grace period or a delay in or failure of
performance (or the continuance of any such delay or failure) under subsection
(b), (c) or (d) of this Section 10.01 for a period of up to sixty (60) Business
Days, shall not constitute a Servicer Default if such delay or failure or
78
'SS' 10.01
continuance was caused by an act of God or the public enemy, acts of declared or
undeclared war, public disorder, rebellion or sabotage, epidemics, landslides,
lightning, fire, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods or similar causes. The
preceding sentence shall not relieve the Servicer from using its best efforts to
perform its respective obligations in a timely manner in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement and the Servicer shall provide the Trustee, any
Enhancement Providers and the Depositor with an Officers' Certificate giving
prompt notice of such failure or delay by it, together with a description of its
efforts so to perform its obligations. The Servicer shall immediately notify the
Trustee in writing of any Servicer Default.
SECTION 10.02. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. (a)
On and after the receipt by the Servicer of a Termination Notice pursuant to
Section 10.01 hereof, the Servicer shall continue to perform all servicing
functions under this Agreement until the date specified in the Termination
Notice or otherwise specified by the Trustee in writing or, if no such date is
specified in such Termination Notice, or otherwise specified by the Trustee,
until a date mutually agreed upon by the Servicer and Trustee. The Trustee shall
as promptly as possible after the giving of a Termination Notice appoint an
Eligible Servicer as a successor servicer (the "Successor Servicer"), subject to
the consent of any Enhancement Providers and any Agents, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld, and such Successor Servicer shall accept its
appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Trustee. In the
event that a Successor Servicer has not been appointed or has not accepted its
appointment at the time when the Servicer ceases to act as Servicer, the Trustee
without further action shall automatically be appointed the Successor Servicer.
The Trustee may delegate any of its servicing obligations to an Affiliate or
agent in accordance with Section 3.01 and Section 8.07 hereof. Notwithstanding
the above, the Trustee shall, if it is legally unable so to act, petition a
court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established institution having a
net worth of not less than $100,000,000 and whose regular business includes the
servicing of wholesale receivables as the Successor Servicer hereunder. The
Trustee shall immediately give notice to the Rating Agencies, any Enhancement
Providers, any Agents and the Certificateholders upon the appointment of a
Successor Servicer.
(b) Upon its appointment, the Successor Servicer shall be the
successor in all respects to the Servicer with respect to servicing functions
under this Agreement and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties
and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and
provisions hereof (except that the Successor Servicer shall not be
liable for any liabilities incurred by the predecessor Servicer), and all
references in this Agreement to the Servicer shall be deemed to refer to the
Successor Servicer. Any Successor Servicer, by its acceptance of its
appointment, will automatically agree to be bound by the terms and provisions of
any Enhancement Agreement.
(c) In connection with any Termination Notice, the Trustee
will review any
79
'SS' 10.02
bids which it obtains from Eligible Servicers and shall be permitted to appoint
any Eligible Servicer submitting such a bid as a Successor Servicer for
servicing compensation not in excess of the Servicing Fee (provided that if all
such bids exceed the Servicing Fee the Depositor at its own expense shall pay
when due the amount of any compensation in excess of the Servicing Fee);
provided, however, that the Depositor shall be responsible for payment of the
Depositor's portion of the Servicing Fee as determined pursuant to this
Agreement and all other amounts in excess of the aggregate of the Monthly
Servicing Fees specified in the Supplements, and that no such monthly
compensation paid out of Collections shall be in excess of such aggregate of the
Monthly Servicing Fees. The Holder of the BCRC Certificate and the Holder of any
Supplemental Certificate each agrees that if BCI (or any Successor Servicer) is
terminated as Servicer hereunder, the portion of Collections to be paid to the
Depositor shall be reduced by an amount sufficient to pay Depositor's share of
the compensation of the Successor Servicer.
(d) All authority and power granted to the Successor Servicer
under this Agreement shall automatically cease and terminate upon termination of
the Trust pursuant to Section 12.01 hereof, and shall pass to and be vested in
the Depositor and, without limitation, the Depositor is hereby authorized and
empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Successor Servicer, as
attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments, and to do
and accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the
purposes of such transfer of servicing rights. The Successor Servicer agrees to
cooperate with the Depositor in effecting the termination of the
responsibilities and rights of the Successor Servicer to conduct servicing on
the Receivables. The Successor Servicer shall transfer its electronic records
relating to the Receivables to the Depositor in such electronic form as the
Depositor may reasonably request and shall transfer all other records,
correspondence and documents to the Depositor in the manner and at such times as
the Depositor shall reasonably request. To the extent that compliance with this
Section 10.02 shall require the Successor Servicer to disclose to the Depositor
information of any kind which the Successor Servicer deems to be confidential,
the Depositor shall be required to enter into such customary licensing and
confidentiality agreements as the Successor Servicer shall deem necessary to
protect its interests.
ARTICLE XI
The Trustee
SECTION 11.01. Duties of Trustee. (a) The Trustee, prior to
the occurrence of any Servicer Default of which a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee has knowledge and after the curing of all Servicer Defaults which may
have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement, and no implied
80
'SS' 11.01
covenants or duties shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee. If,
to the knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, a Servicer Default has
occurred (and such Servicer Default has not been cured or waived), the Trustee
shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and
use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs;
provided, however, that if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer
pursuant to Section 8.05 or Section 10.02 hereof, the Trustee, in performing
such duties, shall use the degree of skill and attention customarily exercised
by a servicer with respect to comparable receivables that it services for itself
or others.
(b) The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions,
certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other
instruments furnished to the Trustee which are specifically required to be
furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to
determine whether they substantially conform to the requirements of this
Agreement.
(c) Subject to subsection (a) above, no provision of this
Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own
grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act or its own
wilful misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) the Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of
judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible
Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was
grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(ii) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any
Servicer Default or the failure by the Servicer to comply with the
obligations of the Servicer referred to in subsections (a), (b) and (c)
of Section 10.01 hereof unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
obtains actual knowledge of such failure;
(iii) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of an Early
Amortization Event unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee obtains
actual knowledge thereof; and
(iv) the Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any
action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
accordance with the direction of the Holders of Investor Certificates
aggregating more than 66-2/3% of the Invested Amount of any Series
relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for
any remedy available to the Trustee with respect to such Series, or
exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee with respect
to such Series, under this Agreement.
81
'SS' 11.01
(d) The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its
own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of
its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there
is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and
none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require
the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any
obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement except during such time, if
any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights,
duties, powers and privileges of, the Servicer in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, the Trustee when acting as
successor Servicer, is still entitled to indemnification under Section 7.03 and
Section 8.04 hereof.
(e) Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the
Trustee shall have no power to vary the corpus of the Trust including the power
to (i) accept any substitute obligation for a Receivable initially assigned to
the Trust under Section 2.01 or Section 2.05 hereof, (ii) add any other
investment, obligation or security to the Trust or (iii) withdraw from the Trust
any Receivables.
(f) If, to the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of
the Trustee, the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall fail to perform any
obligation, duty or agreement in the manner or on the day required to be
performed by the Transfer Agent and Registrar, as the case may be, under this
Agreement, the Trustee shall be obligated promptly upon the actual knowledge of
a Responsible Officer of the Trustee to perform such obligation, duty or
agreement in the manner so required.
(g) If the Depositor has agreed to transfer any of its
receivables (other than the Receivables) to another Person, then upon the
written request of the Depositor, the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, will
enter into such intercreditor agreements with the transferee of such receivables
as are customary and necessary to identify separately the rights, if any, of the
Trust and such other Person in the Depositor's receivables; provided, however,
that the Trustee shall not be required to enter into any intercreditor agreement
which could, in the sole opinion of the Trustee, adversely affect the interests
of the Certificateholders, the Holder of the Variable Funding Certificate or the
Trustee and, upon the request of the Trustee, the Depositor will deliver an
Opinion of Counsel on any matters relating to such intercreditor agreement,
reasonably requested by the Trustee.
(h) Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, the
Trustee is not acting as, and shall not be deemed to be, a fiduciary for any
Enhancement Provider in its capacity as such or as a Beneficiary, and the
Trustee's sole responsibility with respect to said parties shall be to perform
those duties with respect to said parties as are specifically set forth herein
and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against
82
'SS' 11.01
the Trustee with respect to any such party.
SECTION 11.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee. Except
as otherwise provided in Section 11.01 hereof:
(a) the Trustee may rely on and shall be protected in acting
on, or in refraining from acting in accordance with, any resolution,
Officers' Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by
it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented to it pursuant to
this Agreement by the proper party or parties;
(b) the Trustee may consult with counsel and any Opinion of
Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in
respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in
good faith and in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel;
(c) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any
of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement or any
Enhancement, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation
hereunder or in relation hereto, at the request, order or direction of
any of the Certificateholders or any Enhancement Provider, pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders or
Enhancement Providers shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable
security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which
may be incurred therein or thereby;
(d) the Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action
taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be
authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon
it by this Agreement or any Enhancement;
(e) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation
into the facts of matters stated in any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent,
order, approval, bond or other paper or document;
(f) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or
through agents or attorneys or a custodian, and the Trustee shall not
be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such
agent, attorney or custodian appointed with due care by it hereunder;
(g) except as may be required by Section 11.01(a) hereof, the
Trustee shall
83
'SS' 11.02
not be required to make any initial or periodic examination of any
documents or records related to the Receivables or the Accounts for the
purpose of establishing the presence or absence of defects, the
compliance by the Depositor with its representations and warranties or
for any other purpose;
(h) whenever in the administration of this Agreement the
Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established
prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the
Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may,
in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officers'
Certificate; and
(i) the right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act
enumerated in this Agreement or any Supplement not otherwise required
in the performance of its obligations hereunder shall not be construed
as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for performance of
any such act.
SECTION 11.03. Trustee Not Liable for Recitals in
Certificates; No Responsibility for Filings, Etc. (a) The Trustee assumes no
responsibility for the correctness of the recitals contained herein and in the
Certificates (other than the certificate of authentication on the Certificates).
Except as set forth in Section 11.14 hereof, the Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the
Certificates (other than the certificate of authentication on the Certificates)
or of any Receivable or related document or any security interest of the Trust
therein. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the
Depositor of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or
for the use or application of any funds paid to the Depositor in respect of the
Receivables or deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account or any
Series Account.
(b) The Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing any
financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to
otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or Lien
granted to it hereunder (unless the Trustee shall have become the Successor
Servicer) or to prepare or file any Securities and Exchange Commission filing
for the Trust or to record this Agreement or any Supplement. The Trustee agrees
to cooperate with the Depositor and the Servicer in connection with the
preparation and filing of any such Securities and Exchange Commission filings
and the Trustee hereby authorizes the Depositor and/or the Servicer to make any
such filing for and on behalf of the Trust.
SECTION 11.04. Trustee May Own Certificates. The Trustee in
its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Investor
Certificates and may deal with the Depositor, the Servicer and any Enhancement
Provider with the same rights as it
84
'SS' 11.04
would have if it were not the Trustee. The Trustee in its capacity as Trustee
shall exercise its duties and responsibilities hereunder independent of and
without reference to its investment, if any, in Certificates.
SECTION 11.05. The Servicer to Pay Trustee's Fees and
Expenses. The Servicer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to
time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, reasonable compensation
(which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the
compensation of a trustee of an express trust) for all services rendered by the
Trustee in the execution of the trust hereby created and in the exercise and
performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee, and,
subject to Section 8.04 hereof, the Servicer will pay or reimburse the Trustee
(without reimbursement from any Collection Account or any Series Account) upon
its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or
made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement
(including the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents, any co-trustee and
counsel) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its
gross negligence, wilful misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty or bad faith and
except as provided in the second following sentence. The Servicer's covenants to
pay the expenses, disbursements and advances provided for in the preceding
sentence shall survive the termination of this Agreement. If the Trustee is
appointed Successor Servicer pursuant to Section 10.02 hereof, the provisions of
this Section 11.05 shall not apply to expenses, disbursements and advances made
or incurred by the Trustee in its capacity as Successor Servicer, which shall be
covered out of the Servicing Fee; provided, however, if such expenses,
disbursements and advances incurred by the Trustee are in amount in excess of
the Servicing Fee, such excess amount shall be paid in full to the Trustee by
BCI. To the extent, if any, that any federal, state or local taxes (including
income and franchise taxes) are payable by the Trust, such taxes shall be
payable solely out of Trust Assets and not out of the personal assets of the
Trustee and the Servicer shall not be obligated to pay the amount of any such
tax.
SECTION 11.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee. The
Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof
authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined
capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or
examination by Federal or state authority. If such corporation publishes reports
of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the
aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then, for the purpose of this
Section 11.06, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be
deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to
be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.06, the Trustee
shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section
11.07 hereof.
SECTION 11.07. Resignation or Removal of Trustee. (a) The
Trustee may at
85
'SS' 11.07
any time resign and be discharged from the trust hereby created by giving
written notice thereof to the Depositor and the Servicer. Upon receiving such
notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor trustee
by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be
delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no
successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment
within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the
resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor trustee.
(b) If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 11.06 hereof and shall fail to resign
after written request therefor by the Servicer, or if at any time the Trustee
shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or
if a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any
public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the
Servicer may, but shall not be required to, remove the Trustee and promptly
appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of
which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to
the successor trustee.
(c) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment
of successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 11.07
shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor
trustee as provided in Section 11.08 hereof.
SECTION 11.08. Successor Trustee. (a) Any successor trustee
appointed as provided in Section 11.07 hereof shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting
such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
predecessor Trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without
any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the
rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like
effect as if originally named as Trustee herein. The predecessor Trustee shall
deliver to the successor trustee all documents or copies thereof, at the expense
of the Servicer, and statements held by it hereunder; and the Depositor and the
predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other
things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and
confirming in the successor trustee all such rights, power, duties and
obligations. The Servicer shall immediately give notice to each Rating Agency
and the Certificateholders upon the appointment of a successor trustee.
(b) No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section 11.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall
be eligible under the provisions of Section 11.06 hereof.
86
'SS' 11.08
(c) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as
provided in this Section 11.08, such successor trustee shall mail notice of such
succession hereunder to all Certificateholders at their addresses as shown in
the Certificate Register.
SECTION 11.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee. Any Person
into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to
all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall
be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be
eligible under the provisions of Section 11.06 hereof, without the execution or
filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto,
anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
SECTION 11.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part
of the Trust may at the time be located, the Trustee shall have the power and
may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as
a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or
any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity
and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust, or any
part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 11.10, such
powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider
necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be
required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section
11.06 hereof and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any
co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 11.08 hereof.
(b) Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent
permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and
conditions:
(i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or
co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or
co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee
joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any
jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed
(whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Servicer
hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform
such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and
obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust or any portion
thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed
singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the
direction of the Trustee;
87
'SS' 11.10
(ii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by
reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and
(iii) the Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or
remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.
(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee
shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and
co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument
appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and
the conditions of this Article XI. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon
its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or
property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the
Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions
of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement
relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection
to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a
copy thereof given to the Servicer.
(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time
constitute the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and
authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in
respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee
or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all
of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be
exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor trustee.
SECTION 11.11. Tax Returns. In the event the Trust shall be
required to file tax returns, (i) the Trustee shall advise the Servicer of such
requirement as soon as practicable after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
becomes aware of such requirement (whether by written notice from any applicable
tax authority or other person) and (ii) the Servicer shall, at its expense,
prepare, or shall cause to be prepared, and shall deliver, or shall cause to be
delivered, to the Trustee no later than five (5) days immediately preceding any
applicable due date and the Trustee shall execute, to the extent it is the
appropriate person to so execute, and file any such tax returns to be filed by
the Trust. The Servicer shall also, in accordance with the terms of the
Supplements, prepare, or cause to be prepared, all tax information required by
law to be distributed to the Certificateholders and the Holder of the Variable
Funding Certificate. The Trustee will distribute, or cause to be distributed,
such information to the Certificateholders and the Holder of the Variable
Funding Certificate. The Trustee, upon request, will furnish the Servicer with
all such information known to the Trustee as may be reasonably required in
connection with the preparation of all tax returns of the Trust or in connection
with the distribution of tax information to the Certificateholders and the
Holder of the Variable Funding Certificate. The Servicer shall prepare or shall
cause to be prepared all tax information required by law to be distributed to
Certificateholders and shall deliver such
88
'SS' 11.11
information to the Trustee at least five (5) days prior to the date it is
required by law to be distributed to Investor Certificateholders. In no event
shall the Trustee be liable for any liabilities, costs or expenses of the Trust,
the Certificateholders or the Certificate Owners arising under any tax law,
including without limitation federal, state, local or foreign income or excise
taxes or any other tax imposed on or measured by income (or any interest or
penalty or addition with respect thereto or arising from a failure to comply
therewith).
SECTION 11.12. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession
of Certificates. All rights of action and claims under this Agreement or the
Certificates may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the
possession of any of the Certificates or the production thereof in any
proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee
shall be brought in its own name as trustee. Any recovery of judgment shall,
after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the
ratable benefit of any Series of Certificateholders in respect of which such
judgment has been obtained.
SECTION 11.13. Suits for Enforcement. If a Servicer Default of
which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge shall occur and
be continuing, the Trustee, in its discretion may, subject to the provisions of
Section 10.01 hereof, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights
of any affected Series of Certificateholders under this Agreement by suit,
action or proceeding in equity or at law or otherwise, whether for the specific
performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or in aid
of the execution of any power granted in this Agreement or for the enforcement
of any other legal, equitable or other remedy as the Trustee, being advised by
counsel, shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of the rights of
the Trustee or any affected Series of Investor Certificateholders. Nothing
herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or
consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Certificateholder any plan of
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the
Certificates or the rights of any Holder thereof, or authorize the Trustee to
vote in respect of the claim of any Certificateholder in any such proceeding.
SECTION 11.14. Representations and Warranties of Trustee. The
Trustee represents and warrants that:
(i) the Trustee is a banking corporation organized, existing
and in good standing under the laws of the State of New York;
(ii) the Trustee has full power, authority and right to execute,
deliver and perform this Agreement and each Supplement, and has taken
all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and
performance by it of this Agreement and each Supplement; and
89
'SS' 11.14
(iii) this Agreement and each Supplement has been, or will be, as
applicable, duly executed and delivered by the Trustee.
SECTION 11.15. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Trustee
will maintain at its expense in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York,
an office or offices or agency or agencies where notices and demands to or upon
the Trustee in respect of the Certificates and this Agreement may be served. The
Trustee initially designates its Corporate Trust Office as its office for such
purposes in New York. The Trustee will give prompt written notice to the
Servicer and to Holders of the Certificates of any change in the location of the
Certificate Register or any such office or agency.
ARTICLE XII
Termination
SECTION 12.01. Termination of Trust. The Trust and the
respective obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the Servicer and
the Trustee created hereby (other than the obligation of the Trustee to make
payments to Certificateholders and the Holder of the Variable Funding
Certificate as hereafter set forth) shall terminate, except with respect to the
duties described in Section 7.03, Section 8.04 and Section 12.02(b) hereof, upon
the earlier of (i) the day following the Distribution Date on which the Invested
Amount for all Series is zero and (ii) January 1, 2014, (the "Trust Termination
Date"). The Servicer will give the Rating Agencies prompt notice of the
termination of the Trust.
SECTION 12.02. Final Distribution. (a) The Servicer shall give
the Trustee at least thirty (30) days prior notice of the Distribution Date on
which the respective Certificateholders of any Series or Class or the Holder of
the Variable Funding Certificate may surrender their respective Certificates for
payment of the final distribution on and cancellation of such Certificates (or,
in the event of a final distribution resulting from the application of Section
2.03 or Section 9.01 hereof, notice of such Distribution Date promptly after the
Servicer has determined that a final distribution will occur, if such
determination is made less than thirty (30) days prior to such Distribution
Date). Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officers' Certificate setting
forth the information specified in Section 3.05 hereof covering the period
during the then-current calendar year through the date of such notice. Not later
than the fifth day of the month in which the final distribution in respect of
such Series or Class or Variable Funding Certificate is payable to
Certificateholders or the Holder of the Variable Funding Certificate, as
applicable, the Trustee shall provide notice to the related Certificateholders
specifying (i) the date upon which final payment thereof will be made upon
presentation and surrender of the related Certificates at the office or offices
therein designated,
90
'SS' 12.02
(ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the Record Date
otherwise applicable to such payment date is not applicable, payments being made
only upon presentation and surrender of the related Certificates at the office
or offices therein specified (which, in the case of Bearer Certificate, shall be
outside the United States). The Trustee shall give such notice to the Transfer
Agent and Registrar and the Rating Agencies at the time such notice is given to
the related Certificateholders.
(b) Notwithstanding a final distribution to the
Certificateholders of any Series or Class or the Holder of the Variable Funding
Certificate (or the termination of the Trust), except as otherwise provided in
this subsection (b), all funds then on deposit in the Collection Account and any
Series Account allocated to such Certificateholders or the Holder of the
Variable Funding Certificate shall continue to be held in trust for the benefit
of such Certificateholders or the Holder of the Variable Funding Certificate, as
applicable, and the Trustee shall pay such funds to such Certificateholders upon
surrender of the related Certificates (and any excess shall be paid in
accordance with the terms of any Enhancement Agreement). In the event that all
such Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates for cancellation
within six months after the date specified in the notice from the Trustee
described in subsection (a) above, the Trustee shall give a second notice to the
remaining such Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto (which
surrender and payment, in the case of Bearer Certificates, shall be outside the
United States). If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take
appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact
the remaining such Certificateholders concerning surrender of their
Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds in the
Collection Account or, if applicable, any Series Account held for the benefit of
such Certificateholders. The Trustee shall pay to the Depositor any monies held
by it for the payment of principal or interest that remain unclaimed for two
years. After payment to the Depositor, Certificateholders entitled to the money
must look to the Depositor for payment as general creditors unless an applicable
abandoned property law designates another Person.
(c) In the event that (x) the Invested Amount with respect to
any Series is greater than zero on its Termination Date or (y) the Variable
Funding Amount is greater than zero on the Termination Date with respect to the
Variable Funding Certificate, in each case after giving effect to deposits and
distributions otherwise to be made on such Termination Date, the Trustee will
use its best efforts to sell or cause to be sold on such Termination Date
Receivables (or interests therein) in an amount equal to the interest in the
Pool Balance represented by the Certificates; provided, however, that in no
event shall such amount exceed (i) such Series' Allocation Percentage (as
defined in the related Supplements and for the Collection Period in which such
Termination Date occurs) of Receivables on such Termination Date, in the case of
a Series of Investor Certificates, and (ii) the Variable Funding Percentage
91
'SS' 12.02
(as defined in the related Supplement and for the Collection Period in which
such Termination Date occurs) of Receivables on such Termination Date, in the
case of the Variable Funding Certificate. The proceeds (the "Termination
Proceeds") from such sale shall be immediately deposited into the Collection
Account for the benefit of the Certificateholders of such Series and the Holder
of the Variable Funding Certificate, as applicable. The Termination Proceeds
shall be allocated and distributed to the Certificateholders of such Series and
the Holder of the Variable Funding Certificate, as applicable, in accordance
with the terms of the applicable Supplement.
SECTION 12.03. Depositor's Termination Rights. Upon the
termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 12.01 hereof and the surrender of
the BCRC Certificate and any Supplemental Certificates, the Trustee shall sell,
assign and convey to the Depositor or its designee, without recourse,
representation or warranty, all right, title and interest of the Trust in the
Receivables, whether then existing or thereafter created, all Collateral
Security with respect thereto, all monies due or to become due and all amounts
received with respect thereto and all proceeds thereof (including without
limitation any investment proceeds on account of the Trust's assets), except for
amounts held by the Trustee pursuant to Section 12.02(b) hereof, and all of the
Depositor's rights, remedies, powers and privileges with respect to such
Receivables under the Receivables Purchase Agreement. The Trustee shall execute
and deliver such instruments of transfer and assignment, in each case without
recourse, as shall be reasonably requested by the Depositor to vest in the
Depositor or its designee all right, title and interest which the Trust had in
all such property.

affected Series, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any
manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or any Supplement

however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of or delay the timing of

distributed or the amount available under any Enhancement without the
consent of each affected Certificateholder or the Holder of the

(iv) reduce the aforesaid percentage required to consent to any
such amendment without the consent of each affected Certificateholder
or the Holder of the Variable Funding Certificate, as applicable.
Any amendment to be effected pursuant to this subsection (b) shall be deemed to
adversely affect all outstanding Series, other than any Series with respect to
which such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel for the
Depositor, addressed and delivered to the
93
'SS' 13.01
Trustee, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Certificateholder of such Series. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated

Rating Agency, each Agent and each Enhancement Provider.
(d) It shall not be necessary for the consent of
Certificateholders or the Holder of the Variable Funding Certificate under this
Section 13.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it
shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The
manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the
execution thereof by Certificateholders and the Holder of the Variable Funding
Certificate shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Trustee may
prescribe.
(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 13.01 to the
contrary, no amendment may be made to this Agreement or any Supplement which
would adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Enhancement
Provider without the consent of such Enhancement Provider.
(f) Any Supplement executed in accordance with the provisions
of Section 6.03 hereof shall not be considered an amendment to this Agreement
for the purposes of this Section 13.01.

all financing statements and continuation statements and any other necessary
documents covering the Certificateholders' and the Trustee's right, title, and
interest in and to the Trust to be promptly recorded, registered and filed, and

file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document recorded,
registered or filed as provided above, as soon as available following such
recording, registration or filing. The Depositor shall cooperate fully with the
Servicer in connection with the obligations set forth above and will execute any
and all documents reasonably required to fulfill the intent of this Section

statement or continuation
94
'SS' 13.02

seriously misleading within the meaning of Section 9-402(7) of the UCC as in

financing statements or amendments as may be necessary to continue the
perfection of the Trust's security interest in the Receivables and the proceeds
thereof.

any previously filed financing or continuation statement or of any new financing
statement and shall file such financing statements or amendments as may be
necessary to perfect or to continue the perfection of the Trust's ownership
interest or security interest in the Receivables and the proceeds thereof. The

winding-up of the Trust, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and
liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.
(b) No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except

Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee
hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as the
Trustee may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred

This BCRC Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement, as amended and
supplemented from time to time, the Depositor by virtue of the acceptance hereof
assents and is bound. Although a summary of certain provisions of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement is set forth below, this Certificate does not purport to
summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement for information with respect to the interests,

authorized, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate fractional undivided interest will

The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in denominations specified in the Agreement.
This Certificate is the BCRC Certificate, which represents the Depositor's
interest in certain assets of the Trust, including the right to receive a
portion of the Collections and other amounts at the times and in the amounts
specified in the Agreement. The aggregate interest represented by this BCRC
Certificate at any time in the Receivables in the Trust shall not exceed the
Retained Interest at such time. In addition to this BCRC Certificate, (i)
Investor Certificates will be issued pursuant to the Agreement, which will
represent the Investors' Interest, (ii) a Variable Funding Certificate will be
issued pursuant to the Agreement, which will represent the Variable Funding
Interest, and (iii) Supplemental Certificates may be issued pursuant to the
Agreement, which will represent that portion of the Retained Interest not
allocated to the Depositor. This BCRC Certificate shall not represent any
interest in the Collection Account, the Series Accounts or any Enhancements,
except as expressly provided in the Agreement.
Subject to the following paragraph, the obligations created by the
Agreement and the Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the Trust
Termination Date.
Upon the termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 12.01 of the
Agreement and the surrender of the BCRC Certificate, the Trustee shall sell,

Security with respect thereto, all monies due or to become due and all amounts
received with respect thereto and all proceeds thereof, except for amounts held
by the Trustee pursuant to Section 12.02(b) of the Agreement, and all of the
Depositor's rights, remedies, powers and privileges with respect to such
Receivables under the Receivables Purchase Agreement. The Trustee shall execute
and deliver such instruments of transfer and assignment, in each case without
recourse, as shall be reasonably requested by the Depositor to vest in the
Depositor or its designee all right, title and interest which the Trust had in
all such property.
The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Transfer Agent and Registrar
and any agent of any of them, may treat the person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the
Depositor, the Servicer nor the Trustee, the Transfer Agent and Registrar, nor
any agent of any of them, shall be affected by notice to the contrary except in
certain circumstances described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(As required by Section 2.05(d)
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement)
ASSIGNMENT NO. _____ OF __________ RECEIVABLES
IN ADDITIONAL ACCOUNTS
dated as of __________, ____,
among Bombardier Credit Receivables Corporation,
as depositor (the "Depositor"),
Bombardier Capital Inc., as servicer (the "Servicer")
and Bankers Trust Company, as trustee (the "Trustee"),
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
referred to below.
W I T N E S S E T H :
WHEREAS the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee are parties to a
Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of January 1, 1994 (as amended or
supplemented, the "Agreement");
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Agreement, the Depositor wishes to designate
Additional Accounts to be included as Accounts and to convey the Receivables and
any related Collateral Security of such Additional Accounts, whether now
existing or hereafter created, to the Trust as part of the corpus of the Trust
(as each such term is defined in the Agreement); and
WHEREAS the Trustee is willing, on behalf of the Trust, to accept such
designation and conveyance subject to the terms and conditions hereof;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee, on behalf of
the Trust, hereby agree as follows:
1. Defined Terms. All capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings
ascribed to them in the Agreement unless otherwise defined herein.
"Addition Date" shall mean, with respect to the Additional
Accounts designated hereby, ________________, ____.
B-1
2. Designation of Additional Accounts. The Depositor hereby delivers
herewith a computer file or microfiche or written list containing a true and
complete list of all such Additional Accounts specifying for each such Account,
as of the Additional Cut-Off Date, its account number, the aggregate amount of
Receivables, if any, outstanding in such Account and the aggregate amount of
Principal Receivables, if any, in such Account. Such file or list shall, as of
the date of this Assignment, supplement Schedule 1 to the Agreement.
3. Conveyance of Receivables. (a) The Depositor does hereby sell, transfer,
assign, set over and otherwise convey, without recourse (except as expressly
provided in the Agreement), to the Trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders and the other Beneficiaries, all its right, title and

and all amounts received with respect thereto and all proceeds thereof
(including "proceeds" as defined in Section 9-306 of the UCC as in effect in the
State of Vermont, and Recoveries). The parties hereto intend that this
Assignment constitute an absolute sale; provided, however, that to the extent
that this Assignment is deemed or recharacterized not to constitute an absolute
sale, the parties intend this transaction to create a security interest under
Article 9 of the UCC. The foregoing sale, transfer, assignment, set-over and
conveyance does not constitute and is not intended to result in the creation or
an assumption by the Trust, the Trustee or any Beneficiary of any obligation of
the Servicer, BCI, the Depositor, Bombardier Corporation or any other Person in
connection with the Accounts, the Receivables or under any agreement or
instrument relating thereto, including any obligation to any Obligors.
(b) In connection with such sale, the Depositor agrees, if necessary, to
record and file, at its own expense, a financing statement on form UCC-l (and
continuation statements when applicable) with respect to the Receivables now
existing and hereafter created for the sale of "chattel paper" and "accounts"
(as defined in Sections 9-105 and 9-106 of the UCC as in effect in any state
where the Depositor's or the Servicer's chief executive offices or books and
records relating to the Receivables are located) meeting the requirements of
applicable state law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary
to perfect the sale and assignment of the Receivables and the Collateral
Security to the Trust, and to deliver a file-stamped copy of such financing
statements or other evidence of such filing to the Trustee on or prior to the
Addition Date. In addition, the Depositor shall cause to be timely filed in the
appropriate filing office any UCC-1 financing statement and continuation
statement necessary to perfect any sale of Receivables to the Trust. The Trustee
shall be under no obligation whatsoever to file such financing statement, or a
continuation statement to such financing statement, or to make any other filing
under the UCC in connection with such sales.
(c) In connection with such sale, the Depositor further agrees, at its own
expense, on or prior to the Addition Date, to cause BCI to indicate in its
computer files as required by the Receivables Purchase Agreement that the
Receivables created in connection with the Additional Accounts designated hereby
have been sold and the Collateral Security assigned to the Trust pursuant to
this Assignment for the benefit of the Certificateholders and
B-2
the other Beneficiaries.
4. Acceptance by Trustee. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set
forth in Section 6 of this Assignment, the Trustee hereby acknowledges its
acceptance, on behalf of the Trust, of all right, title and interest previously
held by the Depositor to the property, now existing and hereafter created,
conveyed to the Trust pursuant to Section 3(a) of this Assignment, and declares
that it shall maintain such right, title and interest, upon the trust set forth
in the Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders and other
Beneficiaries. The Trustee further acknowledges that, prior to or simultaneously
with the execution and delivery of this Assignment, the Depositor delivered to
the Trustee the computer file or microfiche or written list relating to the
Additional Accounts described in Section 2 of this Assignment. The Trustee shall
be under no obligation whatsoever to verify the accuracy or completeness of the
information contained in such file or list.
5. Representations and Warranties of the Depositor. The Depositor hereby
represents and warrants to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, as of the date
of this Assignment and as of the Addition Date that:
(a) Legal, Valid and Binding Obligation. This Assignment constitutes a
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Depositor, enforceable against
the Depositor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability
may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,

creditors' rights in general and except as such enforceability may be
limited by general principles of equity (whether considered in a suit at
law or in equity) and the availability of equitable remedies;
(b) Organization and Good Standing. The Depositor is a corporation
duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the law of
the State of Delaware and has, in all material respects, full corporate

and, where necessary, is in good standing as a foreign corporation (or is
exempt from such requirement) and has obtained all necessary licenses and

good standing or obtain licenses or approvals would not have a material
adverse effect on its ability to perform its obligations hereunder;
(d) Eligible Accounts. Each Additional Account designated hereby is an
Eligible Account;
(e) Selection Procedures. No selection procedures reasonably believed
by the Depositor to be adverse to the interests of the Beneficiaries were
utilized in selecting

BCI nor the Depositor are insolvent nor, after giving effect to the
conveyance set forth in Section 3 of this Assignment, will any of them have

and assignment to the Trust of all right, title and interest of the

the State of Vermont grants to the Trust under the UCC as in effect in
Vermont a first priority perfected ownership interest in such property,
except for Liens permitted under Section 2.06(a) of the Agreement and tax
and certain other statutory liens (including liens in favor of the Pension
Benefit Guaranty Corporation); provided, however, that if this Assignment
is deemed to be a grant to the Trust of a security interest under the UCC
as in effect in the State of Vermont in such property, then upon the filing
of the financing statements described in Section 2.01 of the Agreement with
the Secretary of State of the State of Vermont and in the case of the
Receivables hereinafter created and the proceeds thereof, upon the creation
thereof, the Trust shall have a first priority perfected security interest
in such property except for Liens permitted under Section 2.06(a) of the
Agreement and tax and certain other statutory liens (including liens in
favor of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation). Except as otherwise
provided in the Agreement, neither the Depositor nor any Person claiming
through or under the Depositor has any claim to or interest in the Trust
Assets;
(h) Due Authorization. The execution and delivery of this Assignment
and the consummation of the transactions provided for or contemplated by
this Assignment have been duly authorized by the Depositor by all necessary
corporate action on the part of the Depositor;
(i) No Conflict. The execution and delivery of this Assignment, the
performance of the transactions contemplated by this Assignment and the
fulfillment of the terms hereof, will not conflict with, result in any
breach of any of the material terms and provisions of, or constitute (with
or without notice or lapse of time or both) a material default under, any
indenture, contract, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, or other
instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it or its
properties are bound, except to the extent that such conflict breach or
default will not have a material adverse effect on the Depositor's ability
to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder;
(j) No Violation. The execution and delivery of this Assignment by the
Depositor, the performance of the transactions contemplated by this
Assignment and the fulfillment of the terms hereof applicable to the
Depositor will not conflict with or
B-4

knowledge of the Depositor, investigations pending or threatened against
the Depositor before any Governmental Authority (i) asserting the
invalidity of this Assignment, (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of
any of the transactions contemplated by this Assignment, (iii) seeking any
determination or ruling that, in the reasonable judgment of the Depositor,
would materially and adversely affect the performance by the Depositor of
its obligations under this Assignment, (iv) seeking any determination or
ruling that would materially and adversely affect the validity or
enforceability of this Assignment or (v) seeking to affect adversely the
income tax attributes of the Trust under the United States Federal or any
