EXHIBITS
Exhibit A Form of Assignment
Exhibit B Form of Officer's Certificate
Exhibit C Form of Subsequent Purchase Agreement
THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of [ ], is made by and between
Eaglemark, Inc., a Nevada corporation, as seller hereunder (together with its
successors and assigns "EAGLEMARK" or "SELLER"), and Eaglemark Customer Funding
Corporation-IV, a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Seller
(together with its successors and assigns "TRUST DEPOSITOR"), as purchaser
hereunder.
WHEREAS, in the regular course of its business, Seller purchases and
services motorcycle conditional sales contracts from Harley-Davidson motorcycle
retailers, each of which contracts provides for installment payment obligations
by or on behalf of the retailer's customer/purchaser and grants a security
interest in a Harley-Davidson motorcycle in order to secure such obligations;
WHEREAS, Seller and Trust Depositor wish to set forth the terms and
conditions pursuant to which Trust Depositor will acquire from time to time the
"CONTRACT ASSETS," as hereinafter defined; and
WHEREAS, Trust Depositor intends concurrently with its purchases from
time to time of Contract Assets hereunder to convey all right, title and
interest in such Contract Assets to Harley-Davidson Eaglemark Motorcycle Trust
[ ] (the "TRUST") pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement dated as
of [ ] by and among Trust Depositor, Eaglemark, as Servicer, and
Harley-Davidson Eaglemark Motorcycle Trust [ ], as issuer (the "ISSUER")
(as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "SALE AND
SERVICING AGREEMENT"), executed concurrently herewith;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
agreements hereinafter set forth, Seller and Trust Depositor agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS
SECTION 1.01. GENERAL. Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement,
capitalized terms used herein (including in the preamble above) shall have the
meanings assigned to them in the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
ARTICLE II
TRANSFER OF CONTRACTS; ASSIGNMENT OF AGREEMENT
SECTION 2.01. CLOSING. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement, Seller hereby sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and
otherwise conveys to Trust Depositor, in consideration of Trust Depositor's
payment of $[ ] in cash as the Purchase Price therefor,
(i) all the right, title and interest of Seller in and to the Initial Contracts
listed on the initial List of Contracts in effect on the Closing Date
(including, without limitation, all security interests and all rights to receive
payments which are collected pursuant thereto on or after the Cutoff Date,
including any liquidation proceeds therefrom, but excluding any rights to
receive payments which were collected pursuant thereto prior to the Cutoff
Date), (ii) all rights of Seller under any physical damage or other individual
insurance policy (including a "FORCED PLACED" policy, if any) relating to any
such Contract, an Obligor or a Motorcycle securing such Contract, (iii) all
security interests in each such Motorcycle, (iv) all documents contained in the
related Contract Files, (v) all rights of Seller in the Lockbox, Lockbox Account
and related Lockbox Agreement to the extent they relate to the Contracts, (vi)
all rights (but not the obligations) of the Seller under any motorcycle dealer
agreements between the dealers (i.e. the originators of the Contracts) and the
Seller, and (vii) all proceeds and products of the foregoing (items (i) - (vii),
together with the additional assets referred to in Section 2.04 below which may
be transferred from time to time in respect of Subsequent Contracts, being
collectively referred to herein as the "CONTRACT ASSETS"). Although Seller and
Trust Depositor agree that any such transfer is intended to be a sale of
ownership in the Contract Assets, rather than the mere granting of a security
interest to secure a borrowing, in the event such transfer is deemed to be of a
mere security interest to secure indebtedness, Seller shall be deemed to have
granted Trust Depositor a perfected first priority security interest in such
Contract Assets and this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under
applicable law. If such transfer is deemed to be the mere granting of a
security interest to secure a borrowing, Trust Depositor may, to
1
secure Trust Depositor's own borrowing under the Sale and Servicing Agreement
(to the extent that the transfer of the Contract Assets thereunder is deemed
to be a mere granting of a security interest to secure a borrowing) repledge
and reassign (i) all or a portion of the Contract Assets pledged to Trust
Depositor and not released from the security interest of this Agreement at
the time of such pledge and assignment, and (ii) all proceeds thereof. Such
repledge and reassignment may be made by Trust Depositor with or without a
repledge and reassignment by Trust Depositor of its rights under this
Agreement, and without further notice to or acknowledgment from Seller.
Seller waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all claims, causes
of action and remedies, whether legal or equitable (including any right of
setoff), against Trust Depositor or any assignee of Trust Depositor relating
to such action by Trust Depositor in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 2.02. CONDITIONS TO THE CLOSING. On or before the Closing Date,
Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Trust Depositor each of the
documents, certificates and other items as follows:
(a) The initial List of Contracts, certified by the Chairman of
the Board, President or any Vice President of Seller together with an
Assignment substantially in the form attached as EXHIBIT A hereto.
(b) A certificate of an officer of Seller substantially in the
form of EXHIBIT B hereto.
(c) An opinion of counsel for Seller substantially in the form
of EXHIBIT D to the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
(d) A letter from Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP, or another nationally
recognized accounting firm, addressed to Trust Depositor and the Issuer
and the Trustees and stating that such firm has reviewed a sample of the
Initial Contracts and performed specific procedures for such sample with
respect to certain contract terms and identifying those Initial Contracts
which do not so conform.
(e) Copies of resolutions of the Board of Directors of Seller
or of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of Seller
approving the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and
the transactions contemplated hereunder, certified in each case by the
Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of Seller.
(f) Officially certified recent evidence of due incorporation
and good standing of Seller under the laws of Nevada.
(g) Evidence of proper filing with the appropriate offices in
Nevada and Illinois of UCC financing statements executed by Seller as
debtor/seller, naming Trust Depositor as secured party/purchaser and the
Owner Trust as assignee, and listing the Contract Assets as collateral as
well as evidence of proper filing with the appropriate offices in
Delaware of UCC Financing statements executed by the Issuer as debtor,
naming the Indenture Trustee, as assignee, and listing the Contract
Assets as collateral.
(h) An Officer's Certificate from Seller confirming that
Seller's compliance officer has reviewed the original of each Initial
Contract and each related Contract File, that each Initial Contract and
related Contract File conforms in all material respects with the initial
List of Contracts and each such Contract File is complete, that each
document required be an original, and that the face of each original
Initial Contract has been stamped with the following notation:
"This Contract/Note is subject to a security interest
granted to Harley-Davidson Eaglemark Motorcycle Trust
[ ]. UCC-1 Financing Statements covering this
Contract/Note have been filed with the Secretary of State of
the State of Nevada and the Secretary of State of the State of
Illinois. Such lien will be released only in connection with
appropriate filings in such offices. Consequently, potential
purchasers of this Contract/Note must refer to such filings to
determine whether such lien has been released."
2
(i) The documents, certificates and other items described in
Section 2.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, to the extent not
already described above.
SECTION 2.03. ASSIGNMENT OF AGREEMENT. Trust Depositor has the right to
assign its interest under this Agreement to the Issuer and Owner Trustee as may
be required to effect the purposes of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, without
further notice to, or consent of, Seller, and the Issuer and the Trustees shall
succeed to such of the rights of Trust Depositor hereunder as shall be so
assigned. Seller acknowledges that, pursuant to the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, Trust Depositor will assign all of its right, title and interest in
and to the Contract Assets and its right to exercise the remedies created by
Section 5.01 hereof for breaches of representations and warranties of Seller
contained in Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 and 3.04 hereof to the Issuer and the
Trustees for the benefit of the Noteholders and Certificateholders. Seller
agrees that, upon such assignment to the Issuer and the Trustees, such
representations will run to and be for the benefit of the Issuer and the
Trustees and the Issuer and the Trustees may enforce directly without joinder
of Trust Depositor, the repurchase obligations of Seller set forth herein with
respect to breaches of such representations and warranties as set forth herein
and in Section 7.08 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 2.04. SUBSEQUENT CONTRACTS. (a) Subject to and upon the terms
and conditions set forth in paragraph (b) below and in the related Subsequent
Purchase Agreement, Seller hereby agrees to sell, transfer, assign, set over and
otherwise convey to Trust Depositor, in consideration of Trust Depositor's
payment on the related Subsequent Transfer Date of the purchase price therefor
(as set forth in the related Subsequent Purchase Agreement), and Trust Depositor
hereby agrees to purchase, (i) all the right, title and interest of Seller in
and to the Subsequent Contracts listed on the related Subsequent List of
Contracts (including, without limitation, all security interests and all rights
to receive payments which are collected pursuant thereto on or after the
applicable Subsequent Cutoff Date, including any liquidation proceeds therefrom,
but excluding any rights to receive payments which were collected pursuant
thereto prior to such Subsequent Cutoff Date), (ii) all rights of Seller under
any physical damage or other individual insurance policy (including a "FORCED
PLACED" policy, if any) relating to any such Contract, an Obligor or a
Motorcycle securing such Contract, (iii) all security interests in each such
Motorcycle, (iv) all documents contained in the related Contract Files, (v) all
rights of Seller in the Lockbox, Lockbox Account and related Lockbox Agreement
to the extent they relate to the Contracts, (vi) all rights (but not the
obligations) of the Seller under any motorcycle dealer agreements between the
dealers (I.E. the originators of such Subsequent Contracts) and the Seller, and
(vii) all proceeds and products of the foregoing (items (i) - (vii), upon
consummation of any above-described purchase, becoming part of the "CONTRACT
ASSETS"). Seller agrees, subject to the terms and conditions herein applicable
to transfers of Subsequent Contracts, to sell an aggregate Principal Balance of
Subsequent Contracts at or prior to the end of the Funding Period equal to the
Pre-Funded Amount on the Closing Date.
(b) Seller shall transfer to Trust Depositor, and Trust
Depositor shall purchase, the Subsequent Contracts and related assets to be
transferred on any Subsequent Transfer Date only upon the satisfaction of each
of the following conditions on or prior to the Subsequent Transfer Date:
(i) The Seller shall have provided the Trustees, the Initial
Purchaser and the Rating Agencies with a timely Addition Notice and shall
have provided any information reasonably requested by any of the
foregoing with respect to the Subsequent Contracts;
(ii) the Funding Period shall not have terminated;
(iii) the Seller shall have delivered to the Trust Depositor a
duly executed Purchase Agreement and Assignment in substantially the form
of EXHIBIT C hereto (the "SUBSEQUENT PURCHASE AGREEMENT"), which shall
include a Subsequent List of Contracts listing the Subsequent Contracts
being purchased;
(iv) as of each Subsequent Transfer Date, neither the Seller nor
the Trust Depositor was insolvent nor will either of them have been made
insolvent by such transfer nor is either of them aware of any pending
insolvency;
3
(v) each Rating Agency shall have notified the Trust Depositor
and the Trustees in writing that following such transfer, and the
transfer immediately thereafter of the Subsequent Contracts to the Trust,
the Class A-1 Notes and the Class A-2 Notes will be rated in the highest
rating category by such Rating Agency and the Certificates will be rated
at least "BBB" by Standard & Poor's and "Baa2" by Moody's;
(vi) such addition will not result in a material adverse tax
consequence to the Issuer, the Noteholders or the Certificateholders as
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to be delivered by the Seller to the
Issuer, the Trustees, and the Initial Purchaser;
(vii) the Seller shall have delivered to the Rating Agencies and
to the Initial Purchaser one or more opinions of counsel with respect to
the transfer of the Subsequent Contracts substantially in the form of the
opinions of counsel delivered to such Persons on the Closing Date;
(viii) the Seller shall have taken any action necessary to
maintain the first perfected ownership interest of the Trust in the Trust
Corpus and the first perfected security interest of the Trust Depositor
in the Contract Assets, the Trust in the Trust Corpus and the Indenture
Trustee in the Reserve Fund Deposits; and
(ix) no selection procedures believed by the Seller to be
adverse to the interests of the Noteholders and Certificateholders shall
have been utilized in selecting the Subsequent Contracts.
(c) Seller agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in
connection with any request for the conveyance of Subsequent Contracts, whether
or not such conveyance is actually consummated.
ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Seller makes the following representations and warranties, on which Trust
Depositor will rely in purchasing the initial Contract Assets on the Closing
Date (and any Subsequent Contracts on the related Subsequent Transfer Date) and
concurrently reconveying the same to the Trust, and on which the Trust, the
Noteholders and Certificateholders will rely under the Sale and Servicing
Agreement. Such representations speak as of the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and as of the Closing Date in the case of the Initial Contracts, and
as of the applicable Subsequent Transfer Date in the case of Subsequent
Contracts, but shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the Contracts
to the Trust. The repurchase obligation of Seller set forth in Section 5.01
below and in Section 7.08 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement constitutes the
sole remedy available for a breach of a representation or warranty of Seller set
forth in Section 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 of this Agreement.
SECTION 3.01. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES REGARDING SELLER. Seller
represents and warrants, as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and
as of the Closing Date, in the case of the Initial Contracts, and as of the
applicable Subsequent Transfer Date, in the case of Subsequent Contracts, that:
(a) ORGANIZATION AND GOOD STANDING. Seller is a corporation
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
the jurisdiction of its organization and has the corporate power to own
its assets and to transact the business in which it is currently engaged.
Seller is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is
in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the
business transacted by it or properties owned or leased by it requires
such qualification and in which the failure so to qualify would have a
material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, or condition
(financial or otherwise) of Seller or Trust Depositor. Seller is
properly licensed in each jurisdiction to the extent required by the laws
of such jurisdiction to service the Contracts in accordance with the
terms of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
4
(b) AUTHORIZATION; BINDING OBLIGATION. Seller has the power
and authority to make, execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and
the other Transaction Documents to which the Seller is a party and all of
the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents to which the Seller is a party, and has taken all
necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to
which the Seller is a party. This Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents to which the Seller is a party constitute the legal, valid and
binding obligation of Seller enforceable in accordance with their terms,
except as enforcement of such terms may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights
generally and by the availability of equitable remedies.
(c) NO CONSENT REQUIRED. Seller is not required to obtain the
consent of any other party or any consent, license, approval or
authorization from, or registration or declaration with, any governmental
authority, bureau or agency in connection with the execution, delivery,
performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents to which the Seller is a party.
(d) NO VIOLATIONS. Seller's execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to
which the Seller is a party will not violate any provision of any
existing law or regulation or any order or decree of any court or the
Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of Seller, or constitute a material
breach of any mortgage, indenture, contract or other agreement to which
Seller is a party or by which Seller or any of Seller's properties may be
bound.
(e) LITIGATION. No litigation or administrative proceeding of
or before any court, tribunal or governmental body is currently pending,
or to the knowledge of Seller threatened, against Seller or any of its
properties or with respect to this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document to which the Seller is a party which, if adversely determined,
would in the opinion of Seller have a material adverse effect on the
business, properties, assets or condition (financial or other) of Seller
or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document to which the Seller is a party.
(f) PLACE OF BUSINESS; NO CHANGES. Seller's sole place of
business (within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC) is as set forth in
Section 7.06 below. Seller has not changed its name whether by amendment
of its Articles of Incorporation, by reorganization or otherwise, and has
not changed the location of its place of business, within the four months
preceding the Closing Date.
SECTION 3.02. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES REGARDING EACH CONTRACT.
Seller represents and warrants as to each Contract as of the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date, in the case of the
Initial Contracts, and as of the applicable Subsequent Transfer Date, in the
case of Subsequent Contracts, that:
(a) LIST OF CONTRACTS. The information set forth in the List
of Contracts (or Subsequent List of Contracts, in the case of Subsequent
Contracts) is true, complete and correct as of the Initial Cutoff Date or
applicable Subsequent Cutoff Date, as the case may be.
(b) PAYMENTS. As of the Initial Cutoff Date or applicable
Subsequent Cutoff Date, as the case may be, the most recent scheduled
payment with respect to any Contract either had been made or was not
delinquent for more than 30 days. To the best of Seller's knowledge, all
payments made on each Contract were made by the respective Obligor.
(c) NO WAIVERS. As of the Closing Date (or the applicable
Subsequent Transfer Date, in the case of Subsequent Contracts), the terms
of the Contracts have not been waived, altered or modified in any
respect, except by instruments or documents included in the related
Contract File.
(d) BINDING OBLIGATION. Each Contract is the genuine, legal,
valid and binding obligation of the Obligor thereunder and is enforceable
in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be
limited by laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally.
5
(e) NO DEFENSES. No Contract is subject to any right of
rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of
usury, and the operation of any of the terms of such Contract or the
exercise of any right thereunder will not render the Contract
unenforceable in whole or in part or subject to any right of rescission,
setoff, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and no
such right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense has been
asserted with respect thereto.
(f) INSURANCE. As of the Closing Date (or the applicable
Subsequent Transfer Date in the case of Subsequent Contracts), the
related Motorcycle securing each Contract is covered by physical damage
insurance (i) in an amount not less than the value of the Motorcycle at
the time of origination of the Contract, (ii) naming Seller as a loss
payee and (iii) insuring against loss and damage due to fire, theft,
transportation, collision and other risks covered by comprehensive
coverage, and all premiums due on such insurance have been paid in full
from the date of the Contract's origination.
(g) ORIGINATION. Each Contract was originated by a
Harley-Davidson motorcycle dealer in the regular course of its business
which dealer had all necessary licenses and permits to originate the
Contracts in the state where such dealer was located, was fully and
properly executed by the parties thereto, and has been purchased by
Seller in the regular course of its business. Each Contract was sold by
such motorcycle dealer to the Seller without any fraud or
misrepresentation on the part of such motorcycle dealer.
(h) LAWFUL ASSIGNMENT. No Contract was originated in or is
subject to the laws of any jurisdiction whose laws would make the sale,
transfer and assignment of the Contract under this Agreement or under the
Sale and Servicing Agreement or under the Indenture or pursuant to
transfers of the Certificates unlawful, void or voidable.
(i) COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. None of the Contracts, the
origination of the Contracts by the dealers, the purchase of the
Contracts by the Seller, the sale of the Contracts by the Seller to the
Trust Depositor or by the Trust Depositor to the Trust, or any
combination of the foregoing, violated as of the Closing Date or as of
any Subsequent Transfer Date, as applicable, any requirement of any
federal, state or local law and regulations thereunder, including,
without limitation, usury, truth in lending, motor vehicle installment
loan and equal credit opportunity laws, applicable to the Contracts and
the sale of Motorcycles. Seller shall, for at least the period of this
Agreement, maintain in its possession, available for the Trust
Depositor's and the Trustees' inspection, and shall deliver to Trust
Depositor or the Trustee upon demand, evidence of compliance with all
such requirements.
(j) CONTRACT IN FORCE. As of the Closing Date (or the
applicable Subsequent Transfer Date in the case of Subsequent Contracts),
no Contract has been satisfied or subordinated in whole or in part or
rescinded, and the related Motorcycle securing any Contract has not been
released from the lien of the Contract in whole or in part.
(k) VALID SECURITY INTEREST. Each Contract creates a valid,
subsisting and enforceable first priority perfected security interest in
favor of Seller in the Motorcycle covered thereby, and such security
interest has been assigned by Seller to the Trust Depositor. The
original certificate of title, certificate of lien or other notification
(the "LIEN CERTIFICATE") issued by the body responsible for the
registration of, and the issuance of certificates of title relating to,
motor vehicles and liens thereon (the "REGISTRAR OF TITLES") of the
applicable state to a secured party which indicates the lien of the
secured party on the Motorcycle is recorded on the original certificate
of title, and the original certificate of title for each Motorcycle,
show, or if a new or replacement Lien Certificate is being applied for
with respect to such Motorcycle the Lien Certificate will be received
within 180 days of the Closing Date (or the applicable Subsequent
Transfer Date in the case of Subsequent Contracts) and will show, the
Seller as original secured party under each Contract as the holder of a
first priority security interest in such Motorcycle. With respect to
each Contract for which the Lien Certificate has not yet been returned
from the Registrar of Titles, the Seller has received written evidence
from the related dealer that such Lien Certificate showing the Seller as
lienholder has been applied for. The Seller's security interest has been
validly assigned by the Seller to the Trust Depositor and by the Trust
Depositor to the Issuer and Owner Trustee
6
pursuant to this Agreement. Immediately after the sale, each Contract
will be secured by an enforceable and perfected first priority
security interest in the Motorcycle in favor of the Trust as secured
party, which security interest is prior to all other liens upon and
security interests in such Motorcycle which now exist or may hereafter
arise or be created (except, as to priority, for any lien for taxes,
labor, materials or of any state law enforcement agency affecting a
Motorcycle).
(1) CAPACITY OF PARTIES. All parties to any Contract had
capacity to execute such Contract and all other documents related thereto
and to grant the security interest purported to be granted thereby.
(m) GOOD TITLE. Each Contract was purchased by Seller for
value and taken into possession prior to the Cutoff Date (or the
applicable Subsequent Cutoff Date in the case of Subsequent Contracts) in
the ordinary course of its business, without knowledge that the Contract
was subject to a security interest. No Contract has been sold, assigned
or pledged to any person other than Trust Depositor and the Trustee as
the transferee of Trust Depositor, and prior to the transfer of the
Contract to Trust Depositor, Seller had good and marketable title to each
Contract free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, loan, pledge, charge,
claim or security interest (other than the extinguished interest of BofA
described above) and was the sole owner thereof and had full right to
transfer the Contract to Trust Depositor and to permit Trust Depositor to
transfer the same to the Issuer and the Owner Trustee, and, as of the
Closing Date (or the applicable Subsequent Transfer Date in the case of
Subsequent Contracts), the Issuer and the Owner Trustee will have a first
priority perfected security interest therein.
(n) NO DEFAULTS. As of the Initial Cutoff Date (or the
applicable Subsequent Cutoff Date in the case of Subsequent Contracts),
no default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration existed
with respect to any Contract and no event had occurred which, with notice
and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute such a
default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under such
Contract. Seller has not waived any such default, breach, violation or
event permitting acceleration, and Seller has not granted any extension
of payment terms on any Contract. As of the Initial Cutoff Date (or the
applicable Subsequent Cutoff Date in the case of Subsequent Contracts),
no Motorcycle had been repossessed.
(o) NO LIENS. As of the Closing Date (or the applicable
Subsequent Transfer Date in the case of Subsequent Contracts) there are,
to the best of Seller's knowledge, no liens or claims which have been
filed for work, labor or materials affecting the Motorcycle securing any
Contract which are or may be liens prior to, or equal with, the lien of
such Contract.
(p) INSTALLMENTS. Each Contract has a fixed Contract Rate and
provides for monthly payments of principal and interest which, if timely
made, would fully amortize the loan on a simple-interest basis over its
term.
(q) ENFORCEABILITY. Each Contract contains customary and
enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the
holder thereof adequate for the realization against the collateral of the
benefits of the security.
(r) ONE ORIGINAL. Each Contract is evidenced by only one
original executed Contract, which original has been delivered to the
Issuer and the Owner Trustee or its designee on or before the Closing
Date (or the applicable Subsequent Transfer Date in the case of
Subsequent Contracts).
(s) NO GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS. No Obligor is the United States
government or an agency, authority, instrumentality or other political
subdivision of the United States government.
(t) LOCKBOX BANK. The Lockbox Bank is the only institution
holding any Lockbox Account for receipt of payments from Obligors, and
all Obligors, and only such Obligors, have been instructed to make
payments to the Lockbox Account, and no person claiming through or under
Seller has any claim or interest in the Lockbox Account other than the
Lockbox Bank; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, NBD Bank, N.A. ("NBD"), Eagle
