Such financing statements may describe the collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as such party may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the collateral granted to the Purchaser herein.

continuation statement or of any new financing statement and shall promptly file any such amendment or new financing statement.

(e) Seller shall maintain its computer systems relating to installment loan recordkeeping so that, from and after the time of sale under this Agreement of its Receivables, Seller’s master computer records (including any backup archives) that refer to a Receivable shall indicate clearly the interest of Purchaser, the Trust, Indenture Trustee and Insurer in such Receivable and that such Receivable has been sold to Purchaser and by Purchaser to the Trust and is owned by the Trust and has been pledged to Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture and to Insurer under the Insurance Agreement.
