Dear Xxxxxx:
Eagle Finance Corp. ("Eagle") and General Electric Capital Corporation ("GE
Capital") entered into a certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated June 25, 1996
(the Asset Purchase Agreement") and Amended and Restated Servicing Agreement
dated as of June 25, 1996 (the "Servicing Agreement") pursuant to which GE
Capital agreed to (i) purchase from time to time portfolios of motor vehicle
retail installment contracts from Eagle, and (ii) permit Eagle to service such
acquired portfolios of contracts, all pursuant to the terms and conditions set
forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Servicing Agreement (collectively,
the "Agreements"). Any capitalized terms used herein without definition shall
have the meaning given to such terms in the Agreements.
Section 9.0(f) of the Servicing Agreement requires that Eagle's Interest
Coverage shall not be less than 1.10 for the quarter ending 12/31/96 and 1.15
thereafter. Xxxxx has advised GE Capital that Interest Coverage for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1996 was below 1.10 and anticipates that the Interest
Coverage for the quarter ending 3/31/97 will be below 1.15. Eagle requests a
waiver of this actual and anticipated non-compliance. Effective as of December
31, 1996, GE Capital hereby waives compliance by Eagle with the provisions set
forth in Section 9.0(f) of the Servicing Agreement for the period from October
1, 1996 through and including March 31, 1997. From and after April 1, 1997,
Eagle must be in compliance with the Interest Coverage requirement as stated in
Section 9.0(f) of the Servicing Agreement.
Section 11.0 of the Servicing Agreement requires that Eagle's Rolling
Average Charge-Off on the managed (owned and serviced) contracts cannot exceed
two percent (2%). Eagle has been in default of this covenant since December 31,
1996. Effective as of December 31, 1996, GE Capital hereby waives compliance by
Eagle with the provisions set forth in Section 11.0 of the Servicing Agreement
for the period from December 1, 1996 through and including March 31, 1997. From
and after April 1, 1997, Eagle must be in compliance with the Rolling Average
Charge-Off requirement as stated in Section 11.0 of the Servicing Agreement.
Section 11.0 of the Servicing Agreement requires that Eagle's Rolling
Average Delinquency on the managed (owned and serviced) contracts cannot exceed
ten percent (10%). Eagle has been in
default of this covenant since January 31, 1997. Effective as of January 31,
1997, GE Capital hereby waives compliance by Eagle with the provisions set forth
in Section 11.0 of the Servicing Agreement for the period from January 1, 1997
through and including March 31, 1997. From and after April 1, 1997, Eagle must
be in compliance with the Rolling Average Delinquency requirement as stated in
Section 11.0 of the Servicing Agreement.
In consideration for GE Capital, granting the above referenced waivers, the
parties agree to the following amendment to Section 6.1 of the Servicing
Agreement;
Section 6.1 RESERVE LEVELS. With respect to the reserve account for
Purchased Contracts purchased before March 31, 1995 (the "1993/1994 Reserve
Account"), the 1993/1994 Reserve Account shall be maintained at such ten
and twenty-five hundredths percent (10.25%) level for the remainder of the
term of this Agreement.
With respect to the reserve account for Purchased Contracts purchased on
or after March 31, 1995, but before the date of this Agreement (the
"1994 Reserve Account"), once the 1994 Reserve Account reaches twelve
and twenty-five hundredths percent (12.25%) of the Borrower's
Outstanding Principal Balance of the Purchased Contracts on any Closing
Date, the 1994 Reserve Account shall be maintained at such twelve and
twenty-five hundredths percent (12.25%) level for the remainder of the
term of this Agreement provided, however, that if (i) the Monthly
Delinquency of such Purchased Contracts for each of the first twelve
(12) full calendar months after the related Closing Date, computed as of
the end of each such month, is less than ten percent (10%); and (ii) the
Monthly Charge-Off of such Purchased Contracts for each of the first
twelve (12) full calendar months after the related Closing Date,
computed as of the end of each such month, is less than one and
seventy-five hundredths percent (1.75%), Company shall refund to
Servicer from the 1994 Reserve Account an amount sufficient to reduce
the 1994 Reserve Account to ten and twenty-five hundredths percent
(10.25%) of the Borrower's Outstanding Principal Balance of such
Purchased Contracts as of the end of the first twelve (12) calendar
months after the related Closing Date, and the 1994 Reserve Account
shall be maintained for the remainder of the term of the Agreement at an
amount equal to ten and twenty-five hundredths percent (10.25%) of the
Borrower's Outstanding Principal Balance of such Purchased Contracts as
of the end of each calendar month thereafter.
With respect to Contracts purchased by Company on or after the date of the
Agreement, the Reserve Account shall be maintained at the level required by
the Asset Purchase Agreement and shall be increased to twelve and twenty-
five hundredths percent (12.25%) of the Borrower's Outstanding Principal
Balance of the Purchased Contracts, for (12) months if either of the
following occurs: (i) the Three Month Rolling Average Delinquency is eight
percent (8.0%) or greater, or (ii) the Three Month Rolling Average
Charge-Off is one and seventy-five hundredths percent (1.75%) or greater.
If the Required Reserve Account level is increased from ten and twenty-five
hundredths percent (10.25%) to twelve and twenty-five hundredths percent
(12.25%), the Servicer and Company agree that the Reserve
2
Account will only be increased up to a maximum of fifty percent (50%) of
the Bonus Servicing Fee for any Due Period. If in the event the Three
Month Rolling Average Delinquency and the Three Month Rolling Average
Charge Off are less than eight percent (8.0%) and one and seventy-five
hundredths (1.75%), respectively, for twelve (12) consecutive months, the
Reserve Account balance will be reduced to ten and twenty-five hundredths
percent (10.25%). The Reserve Account shall be increased to twelve and
twenty-five hundredths percent (12.25%) of the Borrower's Outstanding
Principal Balance of the Purchased Contracts for an additional twelve (12)
months if either of the following occurs: (i) the Three Month Rolling
Average Delinquency is eight percent (8.0%) or greater, or (ii) the Three
Month Rolling Average Charge-Off is one and seventy-five hundredths percent
(1.75%) or greater.
With respect to all Purchased Contracts, in no event shall the Reserve
Accounts be less than one hundred twenty-five thousand dollars
($125,000.00) or one hundred percent (100%) of the Borrower's Outstanding
Principal Balance of the Purchased Contracts, whichever is less.
Once Eagle is in compliance with all requirements and covenants of the
Agreements the original terms of Section 6.1 shall then be applicable.
Except as provided in this waiver, all terms and conditions of the Asset
Purchase Agreement and the Servicing Agreement shall continue in full force and
effect. This waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance, for the
specific provisions, and for the specific period for which it has been given.
This waiver may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different
parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and
delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together
shall constitute one and the same instrument.
Very truly yours,
General Electric Capital Corporation
