to such Financed Vehicle the title document (or, with respect
to Transferred Receivables originated in the Non-Certificated
Title States, other evidence of title issued by the applicable
Department of Motor Vehicles or similar authority) will be
received within 180 days and will show Seller named as the
original secured party under the related Transferred
Receivable as the holder of a first priority security interest
in such Financed Vehicle, and (B) if the Transferred
Receivable was originated in a State in which the filing of a
financing statement under the UCC is required to perfect a
security interest in motor vehicles, such filings or
recordings have been duly made and show Seller named as the
original secured party under the related Receivable, and in
either case, the Purchaser has the same rights as such secured
party has or would have (if such secured party were still the
owner of the Receivable) against all parties claiming an
interest in such Financed Vehicle. With respect to each
Transferred Receivable for which the title document has not
yet been returned from the Registrar of Titles, the Seller has
received written evidence from the related Dealer that such
title document showing the Seller as first lienholder has been
applied for.
(xiv) VALID AND BINDING OBLIGATION OF OBLIGOR. Each
Transferred Receivable is the legal, valid and binding
obligation in writing of the Obligor thereunder and is
enforceable in accordance with its terms, except only as such
enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights
generally, and all parties to such contract had full legal
capacity to execute and deliver such contract and all other
documents related thereto and to grant the security interest
purported to be granted thereby. No Transferred Receivable is
subject to any right of set-off by the related Obligor.
(xv) CASUALTY. No Financed Vehicle has suffered a
total or substantial loss or destruction.
(xvi) NO AGREEMENT TO LEND. The Obligor with respect
to each Transferred Receivable does not have any option under
the Transferred Receivable to borrow from any person any funds
secured by the Financed Vehicle.
(xvii) NO IMPAIRMENT. Neither the Seller nor the
Purchaser has done anything to convey any right to any Person
that would result in such Person having a right to payments
due under any Transferred Receivables or otherwise to impair
the rights of the Purchaser in any Transferred Receivable or
the proceeds thereof.
-13-
(xviii) RECEIVABLES NOT ASSUMABLE. No Transferred
Receivable is assumable by another Person in a manner which
would release the Obligor thereof from such Obligor's
obligations to the Purchaser or Seller with respect to such
Receivable.
(xix) SERVICING. The servicing of each Transferred
Receivable and the collection practices relating thereto have
been conducted in compliance with all applicable laws.
(xx) FULL AMOUNT ADVANCED. The full amount of each
Transferred Receivable has been advanced to each Obligor, and
there are no requirements for future advances thereunder.
(xxi) NO OTHER SECURITY INTERESTS. Other than the
security interest granted to the Purchaser pursuant to Section
2.1, and the security interests granted to the Warehouse
Lender and any and all interests of LLCP which have been
released pursuant to the Lien Releases/Disclaimer, the Seller
has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest
in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Transferred Property. The
Seller has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of
any financing statements filed against the Seller that include
a description of collateral covering the Transferred Property
other than any financing statement relating to the security
interest granted to the Purchaser hereunder or that has been
terminated. The Seller is not aware of any judgment or tax
lien filings against the Seller.
(c) Each of SeaWest and the Seller, jointly and severally,
makes the following representations and warranties as to the Eligible
Receivables and the other Transferred Property relating thereto on
which the Purchaser relies in accepting the Eligible Receivables and
the other Transferred Property relating thereto. Such representations
and warranties speak as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement
and as of the Closing Date (in the case of the Eligible Receivables and
the other Transferred Property related thereto), but shall survive the
sale, transfer, and assignment of the Eligible Receivables and the
other Transferred Property relating thereto to the Purchaser:
(i) SCHEDULE OF ELIGIBLE RECEIVABLES. The information
with respect to the Eligible Receivables set forth in the
Schedule of Eligible Receivables is true and correct in all
material respects as of the close of business on the Cutoff
Date.
(ii) ORIGINAL TERM. Each Eligible Receivable has an
original term of not greater than 60 months.
(iii) NO WAIVER, AMENDMENTS OR COLLATERAL
SUBSTITUTIONS. No provision of an Eligible Receivable has been
waived, amended or otherwise modified other than in connection
with the granting of not more than ___ extensions in the past
-14-
90 days, or as required by the Servicemembers' Civil Relief
Act, the Military Reservist Relief Act or similar state
statutes. No collateral securing an Eligible Receivable has
been substituted for other collateral.
(iv) NO DEFAULT; REPOSSESSION. Except for payment
delinquencies continuing for a period of not more than thirty
days as of the Cutoff Date, no default, breach, violation or
event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Eligible
Receivable has occurred; and no continuing condition that with
notice or the lapse of time would constitute a default,
breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the
terms of any Eligible Receivable has arisen; and the Seller
shall not waive and has not waived any of the foregoing; and
no Financed Vehicle shall have been repossessed as of the
Cutoff Date.
(v) RECEIVABLE FILE; ONE ORIGINAL. Seller has
delivered to the Custodian a complete Receivable File with
respect to each Eligible Receivable and the Custodian has
delivered to the Purchaser a Master Custodial Report and a
Master Exception Report (as such terms are defined in the
Custody Agreement) pursuant to the terms of the Custody
Agreement. There is only one executed original of each
Eligible Receivable.
(vi) CHARACTERISTICS OF OBLIGORS UNDER ELIGIBLE
RECEIVABLES. Each Obligor on an Eligible Receivable is a
resident of the United States of America and, as of the date
of origination, no Obligor on any Eligible Receivable (A) was
the subject of any federal, state or other bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar proceeding pending on the date of
application that is not discharged, (B) was currently the
subject of a judgment in favor of Seller or SeaWest, (C) had
its related Financed Vehicle repossessed (or subject of
repossession), or (D) had its Eligible Receivable rewritten.
(vii) OBLIGATION TO DEALERS OR OTHERS. The Dealer has
been paid in full for the purchase of the Eligible Receivable.
The Purchaser and its assignees will assume no obligation to
Dealers or other originators or holders of the Eligible
Receivables (including, but not limited to under dealer
reserves) as a result of its purchase of the Eligible
Receivables.
(d) The representations and warranties contained in this
Agreement shall not be construed as a warranty or guaranty by the
Seller as to the future payments by any Obligor. The sale of the
Transferred Receivables pursuant to this Agreement shall be "without
recourse" except for the representations, warranties and covenants made
by the Seller in this Agreement.
