laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights in general and by
general principles of equity regardless of whether such enforceability
shall be considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

Receivables shall be due from the United States or any state or local
government thereof or from any agency, department or instrumentality
of the United States or any state or local government.
(vi) Security Interest in Financed Vehicles. Immediately
prior to the sale, assignment and transfer thereof, each Subsequent
Receivable shall be secured by a validly perfected first security
interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of Fleetwood Credit
as secured party or all necessary and appropriate action with respect
to such Subsequent Receivable shall have been taken to perfect a first
priority security interest in such Financed Vehicle in favor of

have been satisfied, subordinated or rescinded, nor shall any related
Financed Vehicle have been released from the lien granted by the
related Subsequent Receivable in whole or in part.

which would give rise to any right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim
or defense, nor shall the same have been asserted or threatened, with
respect to any Subsequent Receivable.
(xi) No Liens. To the knowledge of the Seller, no liens
or claims shall have been filed, including liens for work, labor or
materials relating to a Financed Vehicle related to a Subsequent
Receivable, that shall be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with,
the security interest in such Financed Vehicle granted by the related
Subsequent Receivable.

for a period of not more than 30 days as of the Subsequent Cutoff
Date, no default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration
under the terms of any Subsequent Receivable shall have occurred; and

customary servicing procedures, shall have determined that each
Obligor had obtained physical damage insurance covering the related
Financed Vehicle.

the transfer and assignment herein contemplated, taken as a whole,
constitute a sale of the Subsequent Receivables from the Seller to the
Trust and that the beneficial interest in and title to the Subsequent
Receivables not be a part of the debtor's estate in the event of a
filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller under any
bankruptcy law. No Subsequent Receivable has been sold, transferred,
assigned or pledged by the Seller to any Person other than the
Trustee, and no provision of a Subsequent Receivable shall have been
waived, except as provided in clause (viii) above; immediately prior
to the transfer and assignment herein contemplated, the Seller had
good and marketable title to each Subsequent Receivable free and clear
of all Liens and rights of others; immediately upon the transfer and
assignment thereof, the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, shall have good and marketable title to each
Subsequent Receivable, free and clear of all Liens and rights of
others; and the transfer and assignment herein contemplated has been
perfected under the UCC.
(xv) Lawful Assignment. No Subsequent Receivable shall
have been originated in, or shall be subject to the laws of, any
jurisdiction under which the sale, transfer and assignment of such
Subsequent Receivable under the Agreement or pursuant to transfers of
the Certificates shall be unlawful, void or voidable.
