                                      PAYMENT OF INTEREST:

                                      interest on the notes which will be made
                                      from available collections and other
                                      amounts.

                                      Interest payments on the Class A-1 notes
                                      and Class A-2 notes will have the same

                                      notes will be subordinated to interest
                                      payments on the Class A notes. The trust
                                      will make interest payments on the Class B
                                      notes after paying interest on the Class
                                      A-1 notes and Class A-2 notes.

                                      See "CERTAIN INFORMATION REGARDING THE

                                      NOTES" and "DESCRIPTION OF THE
                                      NOTES--INTEREST" for a discussion of the
                                      determination of the amounts available to
                                      pay interest.

Principal.........................    On each payment date, the trust will pay
                                      principal on the notes which will be made
                                      from available collections and other
                                      amounts.

                                      Principal payments on the Class A notes
                                      will be senior in priority to principal
                                      payments on the Class B notes. Principal
                                      payments on each payment date will
                                      generally be allocated 95.00% to the Class
                                      A notes and 5.00% to the Class B notes.
                                      However, any shortfall in the amount of
                                      funds available for principal payments on
                                      any payment date will reduce the principal
                                      payment on the Class B notes (up to the
                                      full amount of the payment) before the
                                      principal payment on the Class A notes
                                      will be reduced. Principal payments on the
                                      Class A notes will be paid sequentially,
                                      so that no principal will be paid on the
                                      Class A-2 notes until the Class A-1 notes
                                      have been paid in full.

                                      See "CERTAIN INFORMATION REGARDING THE
                                      NOTES--PAYMENTS AND DISTRIBUTIONS ON THE
                                      NOTES" and "DESCRIPTION OF THE
                                      NOTES--PRINCIPAL" for a discussion of the
                                      determination of amounts available to pay
                                      principal.

                                      the cover of this prospectus supplement.
                                      If the notes have not already been paid in
                                      full prior to their respective final
                                      scheduled payment dates, the trust will be
                                      obligated to pay the outstanding principal
                                      amount of the notes in full on such dates.
                                      Certain circumstances could cause
                                      principal to be paid earlier or later, or
                                      in reduced amounts. See "DESCRIPTION OF
                                      THE NOTES--OPTIONAL REDEMPTION,"

Optional Redemption...............    The seller has the option to purchase all
                                      of the contracts on any payment date on
                                      which the aggregate outstanding principal
                                      balance of the contracts owned by the
                                      trust declines to less than 10% of the sum
                                      of:

                                        -   the aggregate outstanding principal
                                            balance of the contracts owned by
                                            the trust as of the closing date;
                                            and
                                        -   the initial amount on deposit in the
                                            pre-funding account.

                                      If the seller exercises this option, the
                                      notes will be redeemed at a price equal to
                                      the unpaid principal amount thereof plus
                                      accrued interest thereon. See "DESCRIPTION
                                      OF THE NOTES--OPTIONAL REDEMPTION."

Mandatory Redemption..............    The notes will be prepaid in part, without
                                      premium, on the payment date on or
                                      immediately following the last day of the
                                      funding period (generally the ninety-day
                                      period following the closing date) in the
                                      event that any amount remains on deposit
                                      in the pre-funding account. The aggregate
                                      principal amount of notes to be prepaid
                                      will be an amount equal to the amount then
                                      on deposit in the pre-funding account
                                      allocated pro rata among the notes;
                                      PROVIDED that if the amount remaining on
                                      deposit in the pre-funding account is less
                                      than $150,000, such amount will be
                                      allocated solely to the Class A-1
                                      noteholders.

The Contracts and Other
Assets of the Trust...............    The property of the trust will be a pool
                                      of fixed-rate, simple interest conditional
                                      sales contracts and promissory notes and
                                      security agreements relating to
                                      motorcycles manufactured by
                                      Harley-Davidson, Inc., Buell Motorcycle
                                      Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
                                      Harley-Davidson, Inc., and certain other
                                      manufacturers. See "OTHER MANUFACTURERS"
                                      in the prospectus. The contracts were
                                      originated indirectly by the seller
                                      primarily through Eaglemark Savings Bank,
                                      a wholly-owned subsidiary of
                                      Harley-Davidson Credit Corp. and, to a
                                      limited extent, through Harley-Davidson
                                      motorcycle dealers. Included in the
                                      trust's assets are security interests in
                                      the motorcycles securing the contracts and
                                      proceeds, if any, from certain insurance
                                      policies with respect to such motorcycles.

The Contracts.....................    The trust's main source of funds for
                                      making payments on the notes will be
                                      collections on the contracts. The
                                      contracts transferred to the trust will be
                                      selected from contracts in the seller's
                                      portfolio based on the criteria specified
                                      in the transfer and sale agreement. The
                                      contracts arise and will arise from loans
                                      to obligors located in the 50 states of
                                      the United States, the District of
                                      Columbia, the U.S. Territories and
                                      military bases.

                                      On the closing date, pursuant to the sale
                                      and servicing agreement, the trust
                                      depositor will transfer, and the trust
                                      will acquire, initial contracts with the
                                      characteristics set forth below as of the
                                      close of business on January 22, 2003, the
                                      initial cutoff date.

                                      Following the closing date, pursuant to
                                      the sale and servicing agreement, the
                                      trust depositor will be obligated, subject
                                      only to the availability thereof, to
                                      transfer, and the trust will be obligated
                                      to acquire, subject to the satisfaction of
                                      certain conditions set forth therein,
                                      subsequent contracts. Following the
                                      transfer of subsequent contracts to the
                                      trust, the aggregate characteristics of
                                      the entire pool of contracts may vary from
                                      those of the initial contracts as to the
                                      characteristics set forth below.

                                      The last scheduled payment on the initial
                                      contract with the latest maturity will
                                      occur in February 2010.

                                      No contract (including any subsequent
                                      contract sold to the trust after the
                                      closing date) will have a scheduled
                                      maturity later than May 2010. However, an
                                      obligor can generally prepay its contract
                                      at any time without penalty.

Reserve Fund......................    On the closing date, the trust depositor
                                      will establish a trust account in the name
                                      of the indenture trustee which we refer to
                                      as the "RESERVE FUND." The reserve fund
                                      provides you with limited protection in
                                      the event collections from obligors on the
                                      contracts are insufficient to make payment
                                      on the notes. We cannot assure you,
                                      however, that this protection will be
                                      adequate to prevent shortfalls in amounts
                                      available to make payments on the notes.

                                      The initial balance of the reserve fund
                                      will be $3,530,119.78 (1.00% of the
                                      aggregate principal balance of the
                                      contracts as of the initial cutoff date).
                                      On any date on which subsequent contracts
                                      are transferred to the trust, an
                                      additional amount equal to 1.00% of the
                                      principal balance of those subsequent
                                      contracts will be deposited into the
                                      reserve fund. The amount required to be on
                                      deposit in the reserve fund on each
                                      payment date will equal the greater of (a)
                                      2.00% of the principal balance of the
                                      contracts in the trust as of the last day
                                      of the immediately preceding calendar
                                      month (6.00% in the event a trigger event

                                      the initial note balances. In no event
                                      shall the amount required to be on deposit
                                      in the reserve fund exceed the aggregate
                                      outstanding principal balance of the
                                      notes.

                                      If the amount on deposit in the reserve
                                      fund on any payment date is less than the
                                      required amount, the trust will use the
                                      funds available to it after payment of the
                                      servicing fee and the fee payable to the
                                      indenture trustee, reimbursement of
                                      servicer advances and payment of interest
                                      and principal on the notes to make a
                                      deposit into the reserve fund. Amounts on
                                      deposit in the reserve fund on any payment
                                      date in excess of the required amount will
                                      be paid to the trust depositor.

                                      If on any payment date the funds available
                                      to the trust to pay principal and interest
                                      on the notes are insufficient to make
                                      payments on the notes, the trust will use
                                      funds in the reserve fund to cover any
                                      shortfalls.

                                      If on the final scheduled payment date of
                                      any class of notes, the principal balance
                                      of that class has not been paid in full,
                                      the trust will use funds in the reserve
                                      fund to pay those notes.

Pre-Funding Account...............    On the closing date, the trust depositor
                                      will fund an account called the
                                      pre-funding account by depositing
                                      $196,988,021.63 which will secure our
                                      obligations to purchase subsequent
                                      contracts from the seller and transfer
                                      those contracts to the trust. The amount
                                      in the pre-funding account will be reduced
                                      by the amount used to purchase subsequent
                                      contracts from the seller. The trust
                                      depositor expects that the pre-funded
                                      amount will be reduced to less than
                                      $150,000 by the payment date occurring in
                                      May 2003. Any amount remaining in the
                                      pre-funding account at the end of this
                                      funding period will be paid to the
                                      noteholders as described in "DESCRIPTION
                                      OF THE NOTES--MANDATORY REDEMPTION
                                      FOLLOWING THE FUNDING PERIOD."

Interest Reserve
Account...........................    On the closing date, the trust depositor
                                      will fund an account called the interest
                                      reserve account by depositing $619,124.40
                                      which will provide additional funds to
                                      account for the fact that the monthly
                                      investment earnings on amounts in the
                                      pre-funding account (until such amounts
                                      have been used to acquire subsequent
                                      contracts) are expected to be less than
                                      the weighted average of the interest
                                      payments on the notes, as well as the
                                      amount necessary to pay the indenture
                                      trustee's fee. In addition to the initial
                                      deposit, all investment earnings with
                                      respect to the pre-funding account will be
                                      deposited into the interest reserve
                                      account.

                                      The interest reserve account is not
                                      intended to provide any protection against
                                      losses on the contracts in the trust.
                                      After the funding period, funds remaining
                                      in the interest reserve account will be
                                      paid to the trust depositor.

Advances..........................    The servicer is obligated to advance each
                                      month an amount equal to accrued and
                                      unpaid interest on the contracts which was
                                      30 days or greater delinquent with respect
                                      to the related due period, but only to the
                                      extent that the servicer believes that the
                                      amount of such advance will be recoverable
                                      from collections on the contracts. The
                                      servicer will be entitled to reimbursement

Mandatory Reacquisition by the
Trust Depositor...................    Under the sale and servicing agreement, we

                                      After an event of default due to a payment
                                      default or certain insolvency events and

                                      distributions available to the noteholders
                                      will be made in the following priority:

Credit Enhancement................    The credit enhancement for the notes is as
                                      follows:

                                          Class A notes:  -  subordination of
                                                             the Class B notes
                                                          -  reserve fund
                                                          -  excess spread

                                          Class B notes:  -  reserve fund
                                                          -  excess spread

Material Federal Income Tax
Consequences......................    Winston & Strawn, as federal tax counsel
                                      to the trust, will deliver its opinion
                                      that the notes will be characterized as
                                      debt for federal income tax purposes, and
                                      the trust will not be characterized as an
                                      association (or publicly traded
                                      partnership) taxable as a corporation. The
                                      purpose of obtaining the opinion of tax
                                      counsel is to provide investors with
                                      greater assurance that the notes will be
                                      characterized as debt for federal income
                                      tax purposes and that the trust will not
                                      be subject to federal income tax at the
                                      entity level. However, an opinion of tax
                                      counsel is not binding on the Internal
                                      Revenue Service and there is no assurance
                                      that the Internal Revenue Service will not
                                      disagree with the opinion of federal tax
                                      counsel. By purchasing a note, you will
                                      agree to treat your note as debt for
                                      federal, state and local income tax
                                      purposes. Payments received by you will
                                      generally be treated as either interest or
                                      principal and you will not be considered
                                      an owner of an equity interest in the
                                      trust.

                                      The foregoing is a very general summary of
                                      material federal income tax matters. These
                                      general statements are subject to the
                                      qualifications, clarifications,
                                      assumptions and expanded discussion set
                                      forth in the accompanying prospectus and
                                      in this prospectus supplement under the

                                      CONSEQUENCES."

ERISA Considerations..............    The notes are generally eligible for
                                      purchase by employee benefit plans and
                                      individual retirement accounts and similar
                                      arrangements, and by persons investing on
                                      behalf of or with plan assets of such
                                      plans, accounts and arrangements, subject
                                      to those considerations and exceptions
                                      discussed under "ERISA CONSIDERATIONS" in
                                      the accompanying prospectus and in this

                                      benefit plan fiduciary considering a
                                      purchase of the notes you should, among
                                      other things, consult with your counsel in
                                      determining whether all required
                                      conditions have been satisfied.

                                  RISK FACTORS

     The following risk factors and the risk factors in the accompanying
prospectus describe the principal risk factors relating to an investment in the
notes.

     You should carefully consider the following risks before you invest in the
securities. You should also carefully consider the risk factors beginning on
page 10 of the accompanying prospectus.

SOME CLASSES OF SECURITIES WILL BE ENTITLED TO INTEREST OR PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS
BEFORE OTHER CLASSES

     The trust will pay interest, principal or both on some classes of notes
prior to paying interest, principal or both on other classes of notes. The
subordination of some classes to others means that the subordinated classes are
more likely to suffer the consequences of delinquent payments and defaults on
the contracts than the classes having prior payment rights. See "CERTAIN
INFORMATION REGARDING THE NOTES--PAYMENTS AND DISTRIBUTIONS ON THE NOTES" in
this prospectus supplement.

     Moreover, the more senior classes of notes could lose the credit
enhancement provided by the more subordinate classes and the reserve fund if
delinquencies and defaults on contracts increase and the collections on
contracts and amounts in the reserve fund are insufficient to pay the more
senior classes of notes.

ADVERSE EVENTS IN THREE HIGH CONCENTRATION STATES MAY CAUSE INCREASED DEFAULTS
AND DELINQUENCIES

     If adverse events or economic conditions were particularly severe in a
geographic region where there is a substantial concentration of obligors, the
amount of delinquent payments and defaults on the contracts may increase. As a
result, the overall timing and amount of collections on the contracts may differ
from what you expect, and you may experience delays or reductions in payments.

     The following are the approximate percentages of the initial contract pool
principal balance whose obligors are located in the following states:

     -  11.39% in California,

     -  10.22% in Texas, and

     -  9.79% in Florida.

     The remaining states accounted for 68.60% of the initial aggregate
principal balance of the contracts, and none of these remaining states accounted
for more than 5.00% of the aggregate principal balance of the contracts. For a
discussion of the breakdown of the contracts by state, see "THE CONTRACTS" in
this prospectus supplement.

     Although we do not know of any matters likely to increase the rate of
delinquencies or defaults in these states, adverse events specific to a
geographic region would include natural disasters and regional economic
downturns. For example, a substantial downturn

                                      S-12
<Page>

in the financial services industry, which is highly concentrated in the states
of New York and New Jersey, or in the oil and gas industry, which is
concentrated in the state of Texas could reduce the income of obligors in those
states and ultimately reduce the related obligor's ability to make timely
payments on their contracts. In addition, the following economic conditions may
affect payments:

     -  unemployment,

     -  interest rates,

     -  inflation rates, and

     -  consumer perceptions of the economy.

THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SUITABLE INVESTMENTS FOR ALL INVESTORS

     The securities may not be a suitable investment for any investor that
requires a regular or predictable schedule of principal payments. We suggest
that only investors who, either alone or with their financial, tax and legal
advisors, have the expertise to analyze the prepayment, reinvestment and default
risks, the tax consequences of an investment and the interaction of these
factors consider purchasing the notes.

PREPAYMENTS, POTENTIAL LOSSES AND CHANGE IN THE ORDER OF PRIORITY OF PAYMENTS
MAY OCCUR FOLLOWING ACCELERATION OF THE NOTES

     If the maturity dates of the notes are accelerated following an event of
default resulting from a payment default or the insolvency of the trust, the
trust will make no further distributions of interest in respect of the
subordinated classes of notes until the more senior classes of notes are paid in
full.

     If the maturity dates of the notes are accelerated following an event of
default due to certain insolvency events, the indenture trustee under certain
circumstances may sell the trust assets. In such event, the trust may not have
sufficient funds to pay all of the securities in full.

     In addition, if the maturity dates of the notes are accelerated following
an event of default due to a payment default and the indenture trustee
determines that the trust assets will not be sufficient on an ongoing basis to
make all payments on the notes as the payments would have become due if the
maturity dates of the notes had not been accelerated, the indenture trustee with
the consent of the holders of all outstanding notes may sell the trust assets
for an amount less than the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the notes.
In such event, the trust may not have sufficient funds to pay all of the notes
in full.

     If you receive your principal earlier than expected, you may not be able to
reinvest the prepaid amount at a rate of return that is equal to or greater than
the rate of return on your securities. If the trust is required to sell its
assets in the circumstances described above, the amount received from the sale
may not be sufficient to pay all amounts owed to you.

BECAUSE THE NOTES ARE IN BOOK-ENTRY FORM, YOUR RIGHTS CAN ONLY BE EXERCISED
INDIRECTLY

     Because the notes will be issued in book-entry form, you will be required
to hold your interest in the notes through The Depository Trust Company in the
United States, or Clearstream, Luxembourg, or the Euroclear System in Europe.
Transfers of interests in the notes must therefore be made in accordance with
the usual rules and operating procedures of those systems. So long as the notes
are in book-entry form, you will not be entitled to receive a physical note
representing your interest. The notes will remain in book-entry form except in
the limited circumstances described under the caption "INFORMATION REGARDING THE
SECURITIES--BOOK-ENTRY REGISTRATION" in the accompanying prospectus. Unless and
until the notes in this prospectus supplement cease to be held in book-entry
form, the indenture trustee will not recognize you as a "NOTEHOLDER," as such
term is used in the indenture. As a result, you will only be able to exercise
the rights of noteholders indirectly through DTC, if in the United States, and
its participating organizations, or Clearstream and Euroclear, in Europe, and
their participating organizations. Holding the notes in book-entry form could
also limit your ability to pledge your notes to persons or entities that do not
participate in DTC, Clearstream or Euroclear and to take other actions that
require a physical note.

     Interest and principal on the notes will be paid by the trust to DTC as the
holder of record of the notes while they are held in book-entry form. DTC will
credit payments received from the trust to the accounts of its participants
which, in turn, will credit those amounts to noteholders either directly or
indirectly through indirect participants. This process may delay your receipt of
principal and interest payments from the trust.

THE HOLDERS OF THE CLASS B NOTES WILL HAVE LIMITED CONTROL WITH RESPECT TO
CERTAIN TRUST ACTIONS WHICH COULD CONFLICT WITH THE INTERESTS OF THE HOLDERS OF
THE CLASS A NOTES

     Because the trust has pledged the property of the trust to the indenture
trustee to secure payment on the notes, the indenture trustee, acting at the
direction of the holders of a specified percentage of the outstanding principal
amount of the Class A notes, has the power to direct the trust to take certain
actions in connection with the property of the trust until the Class A notes
have been paid in full. Furthermore, the holders of a majority of the Class A
notes, or the indenture trustee acting on behalf of the holders of Class A
notes, under certain circumstances, has the right to terminate the servicer as
the servicer of the contracts without consideration of the effect such
termination would have on the holders of Class B notes. The holders of the Class
B notes will not have the ability to remove the servicer until the Class A notes
have been paid in full. In addition, the holders of not less than a majority in
outstanding principal amount of the Class A notes will have the right to waive
certain events of default with respect to the servicer, without consideration of
the effect such waiver would have on the holders of Class B notes. See
"DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSFER AND SERVICING AGREEMENTS--SERVICING--SERVICER
DEFAULT" and "--RIGHTS UPON SERVICER DEFAULT" in the prospectus and "DESCRIPTION
OF THE NOTES--VOTING RIGHTS" in this prospectus supplement.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE POOL OF CONTRACTS MAY CHANGE DUE TO PRE-FUNDING

     There will be no required characteristics of the contracts transferred to
the trust during the pre-funding period, except for the criteria described in
"THE CONTRACTS" in this prospectus

                                      S-14
<Page>

supplement. Additional contracts may be originated at a later date using credit
criteria different from those that were applied to the initial contacts and may
be of a different credit quality and seasoning. In addition, following the
transfer of subsequent contracts to the trust, the characteristics of the entire
pool of contracts, including the composition of the contracts, the distribution
by annual percentage rate, payment frequency, average maturity, current contract
value and geographic distribution, may vary from those of the initial contracts.
Since the weighted average life of the notes will be influenced by the rate at
which the principal balances of the contracts are paid, some of these variations
will affect the weighted average life of the notes. However, the requirements
set forth in "THE CONTRACTS" above are intended to minimize the effect of the
addition of subsequent contracts on the weighted average life of the notes.

PREPAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL ON THE NOTES COULD RESULT FROM PRE-FUNDING

     If the principal amount of eligible contracts purchased directly or
originated by the seller indirectly through Harley-Davidson or Buell motorcycle
dealers or Eaglemark Savings Bank during the trust's pre-funding period, plus
other pre-existing eligible contracts, is less than the amount deposited in the
trust's pre-funding account, we will not have sufficient contracts to sell to
the trust during the pre-funding period. This would result in a prepayment of
principal in an aggregate amount equal to the amount remaining in the
pre-funding account at the end of the pre-funding period to the noteholders in
the same sequence and proportions that would apply in a normal principal
distribution unless the amount remaining on deposit is less than $150,000. Any
prepayment will shorten the weighted average life of the affected notes. The
amount of the notes that will be prepaid is not known at this time, but the
greater the prepayment, the shorter the weighted average life of the notes.

IMPACT OF TERRORIST ATTACKS AND MILITARY OPERATIONS

     The effect of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the
Pentagon on September 11, 2001 and related military action, as well as any other
terrorist attacks, on the performance of the contracts is unclear, but there has
been an adverse effect on general economic conditions, consumer confidence and
general market liquidity. Investors should consider the possible effects on
delinquency, default and prepayment experience of the contracts.

     In addition, under the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940,
members of the military on active duty, including reservists, who have entered
an obligation, such as a retail installment sales contract or installment loan
contract for the purchase of a motorcycle, before entering military service may
be entitled to reductions in interest rates to 6% and a stay of foreclosure and
similar actions. No information can be provided as to the number of contracts
that may be affected by the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940;
however, the recent military operations in the Middle East have increased the
number of citizens who are in active military service, including persons in
reserve status who have been called or will be called for active duty. If an
obligor's obligation to make payments is reduced, adjusted or extended, the
servicer will only be required to advance principal and interest which was 30
days or more delinquent with respect to the related due period, and only to the
extent the servicer believes that such amounts will ultimately be recoverable
through collection. Any resulting shortfalls in interest or principal will
reduce the amount available for distribution on the notes and certificates.

                                      S-15
<Page>

     The Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940 also limits the ability
of the servicer to repossess the financed motorcycle securing a contract during
the related obligor's period of active duty and, in some cases, may require the
servicer to extend the maturity of the contract, lower the monthly payments and
readjust the payment schedule for a period of time after completion of the
obligor's military service. As a result, there may be delays in payment and
increased losses on the contracts. Those delays and increased losses will be
borne primarily by the holder of the certificate, but if such losses are greater
than anticipated, you may suffer a loss.

     For more information regarding the effect of the Soldiers' and Sailors'
Civil Relief Act of 1940, you should refer to "LEGAL ASPECTS OF THE
CONTRACTS--OTHER LIMITATIONS" in the prospectus.

                                    THE TRUST

GENERAL

     The trust is a statutory trust formed under the laws of the State of
Delaware pursuant to the trust agreement between the trust depositor and the
trustee for the transactions described herein. After its formation, the trust
will engage in only a limited set of activities. The trust's activities are
limited to:

       -  acquiring, holding and managing the contracts and the other assets of
          the trust and proceeds therefrom;
       -  issuing the notes and the certificate;
       -  making payments on the notes and the certificate; and
       -  engaging in other activities that are necessary, suitable or
          convenient to accomplish the foregoing purposes or that are incidental
          to or connected with the foregoing purposes.

     Under a transfer and sale agreement between the seller and the trust
depositor, the seller will sell all of the contracts and the related property to
the trust depositor.

     Under a sale and servicing agreement among the trust, the trust depositor,
the servicer, the trustee and the indenture trustee, the trust depositor will
transfer all of the contracts and related property to the trust.

     The property of the trust will consist of:

       -  the contracts and the right to receive all scheduled payments and
          prepayments received on the contracts on or after the cutoff date, but
          excluding any scheduled payments due on or after, but received prior
          to, the cutoff date;

       -  security interests in the financed motorcycles securing the contracts
          and any related property;

       -  rights with respect to any repossessed financed motorcycles;

                                      S-16

       -  the rights to proceeds from claims on theft, physical damage, credit
          life and disability insurance policies and debt cancellation
          agreements covering the financed motorcycles or the obligors;

       -  certain rebates of premiums and other amounts relating to insurance
          policies, extended service contracts or other repair agreements and
          other items financed under the contracts;

       -  the trust depositor's rights against the seller under the transfer and
          sale agreement pursuant to which the seller sold the pool of contracts
          to the trust depositor;

       -  the right to receive payments from the trust depositor for the
          reacquisition of contracts which do not meet specified representations

       -  the trust's rights against the servicer under the sale and servicing
          agreement;

       -  amounts held in the collection account, the note distribution account,
          the pre-funding account and the reserve fund to be established and
          maintained under the sale and servicing agreement; and

       -  all proceeds of the foregoing.

     The trust will issue a certificate to the trust depositor representing the
entire beneficial ownership interest in the trust.

     The trust's principal offices will be in Wilmington, Delaware, in care of
Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee, at the address listed below under "THE
TRUSTEE AND THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE."

CAPITALIZATION

     In addition to the notes, the trust will issue a certificate having no
principal balance, which will be entitled to receive certain distributions of
excess cash flow and releases from the reserve fund from time to time as set
forth under "CERTAIN INFORMATION REGARDING THE NOTES--PAYMENTS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
ON THE NOTES." Initially, the certificate will be retained by the trust
depositor.

     The following table illustrates the capitalization of the trust as of the
cutoff date, as if the issuance and sale of the notes had taken place on such
date:

THE INDENTURE AND THE ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT

     Under an indenture between the trust and the indenture trustee, the trust
will pledge the trust assets to the indenture trustee to secure the payment of
the notes.

     Under an administration agreement among the trust, the indenture trustee,
the trust depositor and Harley-Davidson Credit Corp., as administrator, the
administrator will agree to perform certain of the trust's administrative
functions under the indenture and certain of the trustee's administrative
functions under the trust agreement.

THE TRUSTEE AND THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE

     Wilmington Trust Company will be the trustee under the trust agreement. The
trustee is a Delaware banking corporation and its principal offices are located
at Rodney Square North, 1100 North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19890.

     BNY Midwest Trust Company will be the indenture trustee under the
indenture. The indenture trustee is an Illinois trust company and its principal
offices are located at 2 North LaSalle Street, Suite 1020, Chicago, Illinois
60602.

     The servicer will separately pay the fees of the trustee in connection with
its duties under the trust agreement. The indenture trustee's fees will be paid
by the trust prior to any payments to the noteholders. Each of the trustee and
the indenture trustee will also be entitled to indemnification by the trust
depositor for, and will be held harmless against, any loss, liability, fee,
disbursement or expense incurred by it not resulting from its own willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence. The trust depositor will also indemnify
the trustee and the indenture trustee for specified taxes that may be asserted
in connection with the transaction.

                             THE SELLER AND SERVICER

     Harley-Davidson Credit Corp. will act as seller and servicer of the
contracts and will receive compensation and certain other fees for such
services. Information regarding the seller and the servicer is set forth under
the captions "THE SELLER AND SERVICER" in the accompanying prospectus.

                                 USE OF PROCEEDS

     The trust depositor will use the net proceeds received from the sale of the
notes (i) for the purchase of the initial contracts and related assets from the
seller and (ii) the remainder for the funding of the pre-funding account. The
seller will use the net proceeds from the trust depositor's purchase of the
initial contracts, as well as subsequent contracts, to fund a new portfolio of
motorcycle conditional sales contracts and promissory notes and security
agreements.

                                  THE CONTRACTS

     The contracts are (or will be, in the case of subsequent contracts)
fixed-rate simple interest conditional sales contracts or promissory notes and
security agreements relating to motorcycles manufactured by Harley-Davidson,
Inc., Buell Motorcycle Company, a wholly-

                                      S-18
<Page>

owned subsidiary of Harley-Davidson, Inc., or certain other motorcycle
manufacturers. See "OTHER MANUFACTURERS" in the prospectus. The contracts were
originated indirectly by the seller primarily through Eaglemark Savings Bank
and, to a limited extent, through Harley-Davidson motorcycle dealers and
acquired by the trust depositor in the ordinary course of the trust depositor's
business. Each contract has (or will have) a fixed annual percentage rate and
provides for, if timely made, payments of principal and interest which fully
amortize the loan on a simple interest basis over its term. The contracts have
or will have the following characteristics:

     -  the last scheduled payment of each initial contract is due no later
        than February 2010, and with respect to the contracts as a whole
        (including any subsequent contracts conveyed to the trust after the
        closing date), the last scheduled payment will be due no later than
        May 2010;
     -  the first scheduled payment date of contracts representing
        approximately 99.40% of the aggregate principal balance of the initial
        contracts as of the initial cutoff date is due no later than March
        2003 and the first scheduled payment date of remaining contracts
        representing approximately 0.60% of the aggregate principal balance of
        the initial contracts as of the initial cutoff date is due no later
        than August 2003;
     -  approximately 76.82% of the principal balance of the initial contracts
        as of the initial cutoff date is attributable to loans to purchase
        motorcycles which were new and approximately 23.18% is attributable to
        loans to purchase motorcycles which were used at the time the related
        contract was originated;
     -  approximately 99.98% of the principal balance of the initial contracts
        as of the initial cutoff date is attributable to loans to purchase
        motorcycles manufactured by Harley-Davidson or Buell and approximately
        0.02% of the principal balance of the initial contracts as of the
        initial cutoff date is attributable to loans to purchase motorcycles
        not manufactured by Harley-Davidson or Buell;
     -  all initial contracts have a contractual rate of interest of at least
        4.99% per annum and not more than 22.00% per annum and the weighted
        average contractual rate of interest of the initial contracts as of
        the initial cutoff date is approximately 10.80% per annum (see Table 1
        below);
     -  the initial contracts have remaining maturities as of the initial
        cutoff date of at least 3 months but not more than 84 months and
        original maturities of at least 12 months but not more than 84 months;
     -  the initial contracts have a weighted average term to scheduled
        maturity, as of origination, of approximately 76.94 months, and a
        weighted average term to scheduled maturity as of the initial cutoff
        date of approximately 73.56 months (see Tables 2 and 3 below);
     -  the average principal balance per initial contract as of the initial
        cutoff date was approximately $14,193.72 and the principal balances on
        the initial contracts as of the initial cutoff date ranged from
        $525.87 to $42,730.03 (see Table 4 below);
     -  the contracts arise (or will arise) from loans to obligors located in
        50 states, the District of Columbia, the U.S. Territories and military
        bases and with respect to the initial contracts, constitute the
        following approximate amounts expressed as a percentage of the
        aggregate principal balance of the initial contracts as of the initial
        cutoff date: 11.39% in California, 10.22% in Texas and 9.79% in
        Florida (see Table 5

                                      S-19
<Page>

        below). No other geographic location represented more than 5.00% by
        aggregate principal balance of the initial contracts.

     Except for certain criteria specified in the preceding paragraph, there
will be no required characteristics of the subsequent contracts. Therefore,
following the transfer of the subsequent contracts to the trust, the aggregate
characteristics of the entire pool of the contracts, including the composition
of the contracts, the distribution by weighted average annual percentage rate of
the contracts, the distribution by remaining term of the contracts, the
distribution by original term to maturity of the contracts, the distribution by
current balance of the contracts, and the geographic distribution of the
contracts, described in the following tables, may vary from those of the initial
contracts as of the initial cutoff date.

     Changes in the net loss and delinquency experience of the portfolio have
generally been driven by the growth and seasoning of the portfolio, improvements
in collection procedures and fluctuations in the general economic environment.
In particular, in 2002 delinquencies and liquidations increased from 2001 as a
result of a downturn in the general economic environment. Net losses generally
decreased during 2002 as a result of the improved credit quality of the
portfolio due to the implementation of a tiered pricing program in February
2001, as discussed below. In 2001, delinquencies decreased from 2000 as a result
of improved collection processes and procedures, additional collections staff
and improved overall credit quality of the portfolio. In addition, liquidations
and net losses increased in 2000 and 2001 and delinquencies increased in 2000 as
a result of a downturn in the general economic environment. In 1999,
delinquencies and liquidations increased primarily due to the growth of the
Delta (non-prime) loan program. Net losses, as a percentage of the outstanding
principal amount of contracts, decreased in 1999 primarily due to more stringent
collection procedures implemented by the servicer. Overall, the portfolio size
increased during the period from 1998 through December 31, 2002 primarily due to
increases in Harley-Davidson motorcycle production and the servicer's market
share penetration of units financed.

     In addition, beginning in February 2001, the servicer implemented a tiered
pricing program which tightened the range of available credit in an effort to
better match customer risk with contract rates and improve the quality of its
portfolio. The contracts included in the trust were originated under the tiered
pricing program and may perform differently than the servicer's entire portfolio
during the periods described in the foregoing tables during which the tiered
pricing program was not in place for all originations. There is no assurance
that contracts included in the trust and originated under the tiered pricing
program will perform as expected under current or other economic conditions. In
addition, if the general downturn in the economic environment continues, we
expect that delinquencies and net loss rates for the portfolio may increase.

                       YIELD AND PREPAYMENT CONSIDERATIONS

     By their terms, the contracts may be prepaid, in whole or in part, at any
time. Each contract also contains a provision which permits the seller to
require full prepayment in the event of a sale of the related motorcycle
securing a contract. In addition, reacquisitions of the contracts from the trust
by the trust depositor, and concurrently from the trust depositor by the seller,
could occur in the event of a breach of certain representation and warranties
with respect to the contracts. In addition, the seller may exercise its limited
option to purchase all of the contracts from the trust when the aggregate
outstanding principal balance of the contracts owned by the trust has declined
to less than 10% of the sum of:

          -  the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the contracts owned
             by the trust as of the closing date; and

          -  the initial amount on deposit in the pre-funding account.

Any prepayments and reacquisitions of contracts will reduce the average life of
the notes and the interest received by the noteholders over the life of the
notes (for this purpose the term "PREPAYMENT" includes liquidations due to
default, as well as receipt of proceeds from credit life, credit disability and
casualty insurance policies and debt cancellation agreements). In addition,

                                      S-26
<Page>

funds remaining in the pre-funding account at the end of the funding period will
be used to prepay outstanding principal of the notes and as a result, the
interest received by noteholders over the life of the notes will be reduced.

                       WEIGHTED AVERAGE LIVES OF THE NOTES

     The rate of payments on contracts will directly affect the rate at which
you receive principal payments on your notes, and, if you purchase your notes at
a premium or discount, your yield to maturity.

     The payments on the contracts may be in the form of payments scheduled to
be made under the terms of the contracts, prepayments or liquidations due to
default, casualty and other events which we cannot predict. We will be obligated
to repurchase contracts from the trust as a result of a breach of a
representation or warranty with respect to that contract that materially and
adversely affects the trust's interests in such contract. In addition, we will
be obligated to repurchase contracts from the trust as a result of a breach of
certain covenants with respect to the contracts. In such events the seller will
be obligated to repurchase the affected contracts from us. Any payments for
these reasons, other than scheduled payments, may result in distributions to you
of amounts which would otherwise have been distributed over the remaining term
of the contracts. Each prepayment, liquidation or repurchase of a contract will
shorten the weighted average remaining term of the contracts and the weighted
average lives of the notes.

     Prepayments on motorcycle contracts can be measured relative to a payment
standard or model. In this term sheet, the Absolute Prepayment Model ("ABS")
represents an assumed rate of prepayment each month relative to the original
number of contracts in a pool of contracts. ABS further assumes that all of the
contracts in question are the same size and amortize at the same rate and that
each contract in each month of its life will either be paid as scheduled or be
paid in full. For example, in a pool of contracts originally containing 10,000
contracts, a 1% ABS rate means that 100 contracts prepay each month. ABS does
not purport to be an historical description of prepayment experience or a
prediction of the anticipated rate of prepayment of any pool of receivables,
including the contracts.

     The information in the ABS Table was prepared on the assumption that:

     -    the contracts prepay in full at the specified constant percentage of
          ABS monthly, with no defaults, losses or repurchases;

     -    each scheduled monthly payment on each contract is scheduled to be
          made and is made on the last day of each month and each month has 30
          days;

     -    payments are made on the notes on each payment date (and each payment
          date is assumed to be the 15th day of each month whether or not a
          business day);

     -    the balance in the reserve fund on each payment date is the required
          amount described under "PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY--RESERVE FUND";

     -    the notes are purchased on an assumed closing date of February 4,
          2003; and

     -    the seller exercises its option to purchase the contracts at its
          earliest opportunity to do so.

                                      S-27
<Page>

     The ABS Table also assumes that the contracts have been aggregated into
hypothetical pools with all of the contracts within each pool having the
following characteristics and that the level scheduled monthly payment for each
of the pools will be such that each pool will be fully amortized by the end of
its remaining term to maturity.

     The hypothetical pools each have an assumed cutoff date of January 22,
2003. The ABS Table indicates the projected weighted average life of each class
of notes and sets forth the percent of the initial principal amount of each
class of notes that is projected to be outstanding after each of the payment
dates shown at various constant ABS percentages.

     The actual characteristics and performance of the contracts will differ
from the assumptions used to prepare the ABS Table. The assumptions used are
hypothetical and have been provided to give a general sense of how the principal
cash flows might behave under varying prepayment rates. Any difference between
the assumptions and the actual characteristics and performance of the contracts
or actual prepayment experience will affect the percentages of initial amounts
outstanding over time and the weighted average lives of each class of notes.

- ----------
(1)  The weighted average life of a note is determined by (i) multiplying the
     amount of each principal payment on a note by the number of years from the
     date of the issuance of the note to the payment date on which it is made,
     (ii) adding the results and (iii) dividing the sum by the initial principal
     amount of the note.
(2)  This calculation assumes that the seller does not exercise its option to
     purchase the contracts.

(1)  The weighted average life of a note is determined by (i) multiplying the
     amount of each principal payment on a note by the number of years from the
     date of the issuance of the note to the payment date on which it is made,
     (ii) adding the results and (iii) dividing the sum by the initial principal
     amount of the note.
(2)  This calculation assumes that the seller does not exercise its option to
     purchase the contracts.

- ----------
(1)  The weighted average life of a note is determined by (i) multiplying the
     amount of each principal payment on a note by the number of years from the
     date of the issuance of the note to the payment date on which it is made,
     (ii) adding the results and (iii) dividing the sum by the initial principal
     amount of the note.
(2)  This calculation assumes that the seller does not exercise its option to
     purchase the contracts.

     The ABS Tables have been prepared based on the assumptions described above
(including the assumptions regarding the characteristics and performance of the
contracts which will differ from the actual characteristics and performance of
the contracts) and should be read in conjunction therewith.

                               THE TRUST DEPOSITOR

     The trust depositor is a special purpose corporation formed in the State of
Nevada. All of the common stock of the trust depositor is owned by the seller.
All of the officers and directors of the trust depositor are employed by the
seller, except that at least two directors of the trust depositor are required
to be independent of the trust depositor. The trust depositor's business is
limited to purchasing the contracts and related assets (and other similar retail
motorcycle installment conditional sales contracts and similar promissory notes
and security agreements) from the seller, acting as the beneficial owner of the
trust and other similar trusts and performing the obligations described in the
sale and servicing agreement and the transfer and sale agreement (as well as
similar agreements entered into in connection with the formation of similar
trusts).

                            DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES

     This section supplements the information in the accompanying prospectus
under the caption "DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES AND INDENTURE." However, as these
statements are only summaries, you should read the sale and servicing agreement
and indenture, forms of which have been filed as exhibits to the registration
statement of which the accompanying prospectus forms a part. The information in
this section and in the accompanying prospectus under the caption "DESCRIPTION
OF THE NOTES AND INDENTURE" describes the material terms of the notes, the
indenture and the applicable transfer and servicing agreements, including the
sale and servicing agreement.

                                      S-33
<Page>

A copy of the indenture and the sale and servicing agreement are available to
you upon request to the trust depositor and will be filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission following the issuance of the securities.

GENERAL

     The notes will be issued pursuant to the terms of the indenture between the
trust and the indenture trustee.

     The trust will issue three classes of notes, consisting of two classes of
senior notes, designated as the Class A-1 notes and Class A-2 notes. We refer to
these notes as the "CLASS A NOTES." The trust will also issue one class of
subordinate notes, designated as the Class B notes.

     The notes will be delivered in book-entry form only and will be issued in
minimum denominations of $1,000.

INTEREST

     Each class of notes will bear interest at the fixed rate per annum for that
class shown on the cover page of this prospectus supplement.

     The trust will pay interest on the notes on each payment date with
Available Amounts and amounts withdrawn from the reserve fund as set forth under
"CERTAIN INFORMATION REGARDING THE NOTES--PAYMENTS AND DISTRIBUTIONS ON THE
NOTES--DISTRIBUTIONS" below.

     Interest will be payable to you monthly on the 15th day of each month or,
if that date is not a business day, on the next succeeding business day and will
be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months
for the interest period from and including the 15th day of the prior month (or,
in the case of the initial payment date, from and including the closing date) to
but excluding the 15th day of the next month.

     After the acceleration of the notes following an event of default resulting
from a payment default or certain insolvency events, the trust will not make
interest payments on the Class B notes until the Class A notes have been paid in
full.

     Interest payments on the Class A notes will have the same priority.
Interest payments on the Class B notes will be subordinated to interest on the
Class A notes. If on any payment date the trust has insufficient funds to make a
full payment of interest on the Class A notes, the holders of the Class A notes
will receive their pro rata share of the amount available for interest on the
Class A notes.

     If on any payment date, the trust does not have sufficient funds to make a
full payment of interest on any class of notes, the amount of the shortfall will
be carried forward, and together with interest on the shortfall amount at the
applicable interest rate for that class, added to the amount of interest the
affected class of noteholders will be entitled to receive on the next payment
date.

                                      S-34
<Page>

PRINCIPAL

     On each payment date, principal on the notes will be payable in an amount
equal to the amount by which (1) the aggregate principal balances of the
contracts as of the close of business on the last day of the Due Period relating
to the prior payment date exceeds (2) the aggregate principal balance of the
contracts as of the close of business on the last day of the Due Period relating
to such payment date, excluding certain non-collectible or defaulted contracts
and contracts to be reacquired by the trust depositor or purchased by the
servicer due to certain breaches, but including the amount on deposit in the
pre-funding account.

     Principal payments on the Class A notes will be senior in priority to
principal payments on the Class B notes. Principal payments on each payment date
will generally be allocated 95.00% to the Class A notes and 5.00% to the Class B
notes. However, any shortfall in the amount of funds available for principal
payments on any payment date will reduce the principal payment on the Class B
notes (up to the full amount of the payment) before the principal payment on the
Class A notes will be reduced. Principal payments on the Class A notes will be
paid sequentially, so that no principal will be paid on the Class A-2 notes
until the Class A-1 notes have been paid in full. The trust will pay principal
on the notes on each payment date with Available Amounts and amounts withdrawn
from the reserve fund as set forth under "CERTAIN INFORMATION REGARDING THE
NOTES--PAYMENTS AND DISTRIBUTIONS ON THE NOTES--DISTRIBUTIONS" below.

     Principal of each class of notes is due and payable on the scheduled final
payment date for that class shown on the cover page of this prospectus
supplement.

OPTIONAL REDEMPTION

     The seller has the option to purchase all of the contracts on any payment
date if the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the contracts owned by
the trust declines to less than 10% of the sum of:

     -  the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the contracts owned by
        the trust as of the closing date; and

     -  the initial amount on deposit in the pre-funding account.

     If the seller exercises this option, the notes will be redeemed at a price
equal to the unpaid principal amount of the notes plus accrued interest thereon.

MANDATORY REDEMPTION FOLLOWING THE FUNDING PERIOD

     The notes will be prepaid in part, without premium, on the payment date on
or immediately following the last day of the funding period if any amount
remains on deposit in the pre-funding account after subsequent contracts are
transferred to the trust. The aggregate principal amount of notes to be prepaid
will be an amount equal to the amount then on deposit in the pre-funding account
allocated to the notes PRO RATA. If the amount on deposit in the pre-funding
account is less than $150,000, only the Class A-1 noteholders will be prepaid.

VOTING RIGHTS

     This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus specify certain
circumstances under which the consent, approval, direction or request of the
holders of a specified percentage of the outstanding principal amount of the
notes must be obtained, given or made, or under which such holders are permitted
to take an action or give a notice. Except in limited circumstances, while the
Class A notes are outstanding, only the holders of the Class A notes will have
those rights, not the holders of all of the notes or the Class B notes.

NOTICES

     You will be notified in writing by the indenture trustee of any event of
default, servicer default or termination of, or appointment of a successor to,
the servicer promptly upon a responsible officer obtaining actual knowledge of
these events. If notes are issued other than in book-entry form, those notices
will be mailed to the addresses of noteholders as they appear in the register
maintained by the indenture trustee prior to mailing. Those notices will be
deemed to have been given on the date of that publication or mailing.

                     CERTAIN INFORMATION REGARDING THE NOTES

THE ACCOUNTS

     THE COLLECTION ACCOUNT

     The indenture trustee will establish an account referred to as the
collection account in accordance with the sale and servicing agreement. The
servicer will cause all collections made on or in respect of the contracts
during a due period to be deposited in or credited to the collection account.
The servicer is required to deposit, without deposit into any intervening
account, into the collection account as promptly as possible, but in any case
not later than the second business day following the receipt thereof, all
amounts received on or in respect of the contracts. The servicer is required to
use its best efforts to cause an obligor to make all payments on the contracts
directly to one or more lockbox banks, acting as agent for the trust pursuant to
a lockbox agreement. Funds in the collection account will be invested in certain
eligible investments. All income or other gain from such investments will be
promptly deposited in, and any loss resulting from such investments shall be
charged to, the collection account.

     THE PRE-FUNDING ACCOUNT

     The indenture trustee will establish a trust account referred to as the
pre-funding account in accordance with the sale and servicing agreement. During
the funding period, the pre-funding account will be maintained by the indenture
trustee for your benefit to secure the trust depositor's obligations under the
sale and servicing agreement to purchase and transfer subsequent contracts to
the trust. On the closing date, the trust depositor will deposit $196,988,021.63
into the pre-funding account. During the funding period, amounts on deposit in
the pre-funding account will be reduced by the amount thereof that the trust
depositor uses to purchase subsequent contracts from the seller and
contemporaneously transfers to the trust. The trust depositor expects that the
pre-funded amount will be reduced to less than $150,000 by the payment date
occurring in May 2003. Any pre-funded amount remaining at the end of the funding
period will be payable to the

                                      S-36
<Page>

noteholders. See "DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES--MANDATORY REDEMPTION FOLLOWING THE
FUNDING PERIOD."

     THE RESERVE FUND

     The servicer will establish pursuant to the sale and servicing agreement
the reserve fund which will be a segregated account in the name of the indenture
trustee. The reserve fund will be created with an initial deposit by the trust
depositor on the closing date and will thereafter be funded as described below
under "--CALCULATION OF RESERVE FUND REQUIRED AMOUNT" and "PAYMENTS AND
DISTRIBUTIONS ON THE NOTES--DISTRIBUTIONS."

     Amounts held from time to time in the reserve fund will be held for the
benefit of noteholders and may be invested in investments acceptable to the
rating agencies rating the notes as being consistent with the ratings of the
notes at the direction of the servicer. Investment income on those investments
will be paid to the trust depositor, upon the direction of the servicer, to the
extent that funds on deposit in the reserve fund on any payment date exceed the
amount that is required to be on deposit in the reserve fund. If the amount on
deposit in the reserve fund on any payment date exceeds the amount that is
required to be on deposit in the reserve fund on that payment date, the
indenture trustee will withdraw that excess and pay it to the trust depositor.
Upon any distribution to the trust depositor of those excess amounts, the
noteholders will not have any rights in, or claims to, those amounts.

     The servicer may, from time to time after the date of this prospectus
supplement, request each rating agency rating the notes to approve a formula for
determining the amount that is required to be on deposit in the reserve fund on
each payment date that is different from that described below. If each rating
agency delivers a letter to the indenture trustee and the trustee to the effect
that the use of any new formula will not result in a qualification, reduction or
withdrawal of its then-current rating of any class of the notes, then the amount
that is required to be on deposit in the reserve fund will be determined in
accordance with the new formula. The sale and servicing agreement will
accordingly be amended, without the consent of any noteholder, to reflect the
new calculation.

     If Available Amounts for any payment date, after paying the servicing fee,
reimbursing the servicer for servicer advances and paying the indenture
trustee's fee, are insufficient to pay principal and interest on the notes, the
indenture trustee will withdraw funds from the reserve fund for distribution to
the noteholders to cover any shortfalls. If on the final scheduled payment date
of any class of notes, the principal amount of that class has not been paid in
full, the indenture trustee will withdraw funds from the reserve fund to pay
those notes.

     None of the noteholders, the indenture trustee, the servicer, or the trust
depositor will be required to refund any amounts properly distributed or paid to
them, whether or not there are sufficient funds on any subsequent payment date
to make full distributions to the noteholders.

     CALCULATION OF RESERVE FUND REQUIRED AMOUNT

     On the closing date, the trust depositor will deposit a total of
$3,530,119.78 into the reserve fund. On any date on which subsequent contracts
are transferred to the trust, an additional amount equal to 1.00% of the
principal balance of those subsequent contracts will be

                                      S-37
<Page>

deposited into the reserve fund. With respect to any payment date, the reserve
fund required amount will equal the greater of (a) 2.00% of the principal
balance of the contracts in the trust as of the last day of the immediately
preceding due period; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if certain trigger events occur,
the reserve fund required amount will be equal to 6.00% of the principal balance
of the contracts in the trust as of the last day of the immediately preceding
due period and (b) 1.00% of the aggregate of the initial note balances;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, in no event shall the reserve fund required amount be greater
than the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the notes. As of any payment
date, the amount of funds actually on deposit in the reserve fund may, in
certain circumstances, be less than the reserve fund required amount.

     A "RESERVE FUND TRIGGER EVENT" will have been deemed to occur with respect
to any payment date if (i) the Average Delinquency Ratio for such payment date
is equal to or greater than (a) 2.50% for any payment date which occurs within
the period from the closing date to, and inclusive of, the first anniversary of
the closing date, (b) 3.00% for any payment date which occurs within the period
from the day after the first anniversary of the closing date to, and inclusive
of, the second anniversary of the closing date, (c) 3.50% for any payment date
which occurs within the period from the day after the second anniversary of the
closing date to, and inclusive of, the third anniversary of the closing date or
(d) 4.00% for any payment date following the third anniversary of the closing
date; (ii) the Average Loss Ratio for such payment date is equal to or greater
than (a) 3.00% for any payment date which occurs within the period from the
closing date to, and inclusive of, the second anniversary of the closing date,
or (b) 2.75% for any payment date following the second anniversary of the
closing date; or (iii) the Cumulative Loss Ratio for such payment date is equal
to or greater than (a) 1.25% for any payment date which occurs within the period
from the closing date to, and inclusive of, the first anniversary of the closing
date, (b) 2.00% for any payment date which occurs within the period from the day
after the first anniversary of the closing date to, and inclusive of, the second
anniversary of the closing date, (c) 2.50% for any payment date which occurs
within the period from the day after the second anniversary of the closing date
to, and inclusive of, the third anniversary of the closing date, or (d) 2.75%
for any payment date following the third anniversary of the closing date.

     A reserve fund trigger event will be deemed to have terminated with respect
to a payment date if no reserve fund trigger event shall exist with respect to
three consecutive payment dates (inclusive of the respective payment date).

     INTEREST RESERVE ACCOUNT

     The trust depositor will establish, and fund with an initial deposit on the
closing date, the interest reserve account, for the purpose of providing
additional funds for payment to the trust of carrying charges to pay certain
distributions on payment dates that occur during (and on the first payment date
following the end of) the funding period. In addition to the initial deposit,
all investment earnings with respect to the pre-funding account are to be
deposited into the interest reserve account and, pursuant to the sale and
servicing agreement, the trust depositor is obligated to pay to the trust, on
each payment date described above, amounts in respect of carrying charges from
such account.

                                      S-38
<Page>

     The interest reserve account will be established to account for the fact
that a portion of the proceeds obtained from the sale of the notes will be
initially deposited in the pre-funding account rather than invested in
contracts, and the monthly investment earnings on amounts in the pre-funding
account (until such amounts have been used to acquire subsequent contracts) are
expected to be less than the weighted average of the interest rates of the
respective classes of notes with respect to the corresponding portion of the
principal balances of respective classes of notes, as well as the amount
necessary to pay the indenture trustee's fee. The interest reserve account is
not intended to provide any protection against losses on the contracts in the
trust. After the funding period, funds in the interest reserve account will be
released to the trust depositor.

     THE DISTRIBUTION ACCOUNT

     The indenture trustee will establish and maintain with itself the
distribution account, in the name of the indenture trustee on behalf of the
noteholders, in which amounts released from the collection account for
distribution to noteholders will be deposited and from which all distributions
to noteholders will be made.

DETERMINATION OF OUTSTANDING PRINCIPAL BALANCES

     Prior to each payment date, the servicer will calculate a seven-digit
decimal factor which represents:

     -    the unpaid principal amount of the Class A-1 notes, after giving
          effect to payments to be made on such payment date, as a fraction of
          the initial outstanding principal amount of the Class A-1 notes;

     -    the unpaid principal amount of the Class A-2 notes, after giving
          effect to payments to be made on such payment date, as a fraction of
          the initial outstanding principal amount of the Class A-2 notes; and

     -    the unpaid principal amount of the Class B notes, after giving effect
          to payments to be made on such payment date, as a fraction of the
          initial outstanding principal amount of the Class B notes.

     If the servicer were to perform such calculations on the closing date, the
resulting decimal factor for each of the notes would be 1.0000000. Thereafter,
these decimal factors will decline in correspondence with reductions in the
outstanding principal amount of the notes. Your portion of the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of notes will be the product of:

     -    the original denomination of the class of notes you own; and

     -    the decimal factor relating to the class of notes at the time of
          determination (calculated as described above).

     You will receive reports on or about each payment date concerning payments
received on the contracts, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the
contracts owned by the trust, the decimal factors described above and various
other items of information. In addition, noteholders

                                      S-39
<Page>

of record during any calendar year will be furnished information for tax
reporting purposes not later than the latest date permitted by law. See
"DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSFER AND SERVICING AGREEMENTS--SERVICING--STATEMENTS TO
SECURITYHOLDERS" in the accompanying prospectus.

PAYMENTS AND DISTRIBUTIONS ON THE NOTES

     AVAILABLE AMOUNTS

     The trust will pay principal and interest in respect of the notes on each
payment date from Available Amounts for the payment date, as well as amounts
permitted to be withdrawn from the reserve fund. See "CERTAIN INFORMATION
REGARDING THE NOTES--THE ACCOUNTS--THE RESERVE FUND." "AVAILABLE AMOUNTS" for
any payment date are generally the sum of:

     -    the following amounts on deposit in the collection account which the
          trust received during the prior calendar month;

          (1)  all amounts allocable to scheduled principal or interest payments
               on the contracts;

          (2)  prepayments of contracts; and

          (3)  proceeds of repossessed financed motorcycles and other proceeds
               of defaulted contracts;

     -    the acquisition price paid by the trust depositor in reacquiring
          contracts from the trust on that payment date as a result of a breach
          of the representations and warranties with respect to those contracts
          in the sale and servicing agreement;

     -    servicer advances made by the servicer on that payment date in respect
          of interest payments for the prior calendar month which were
          delinquent by 30 or more days; and

     -    the amount paid by the seller to purchase the contracts when the
          aggregate outstanding principal balance of the contracts is reduced to
          less than 10% of the sum of (i) aggregate principal balance of the
          contracts owned by the trust as of the closing date and (ii) the
          initial amount on deposit in the pre-funding account.

     The precise calculation of the funds available to the trust on each payment
date to make payments on the securities is set forth in the definition of
"AVAILABLE AMOUNTS" and the definitions of the defined terms contained in that
definition set forth in the Glossary. We refer you to those definitions.

     SERVICING COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT OF SERVICER ADVANCES

     On each payment date, the servicer will be entitled to receive the
servicing fee in an amount equal to the product of one twelfth of one percent
(1%) and the aggregate principal balance of the contracts as of the last day of
the second calendar month preceding the month in which that payment date falls.
The servicer will also be entitled to retain any late payment fees,

                                      S-40
<Page>

prepayment charges, if any, and other similar fees and charges received during
the prior calendar month.

     The servicer is obligated to advance each month an amount equal to accrued
and unpaid interest on the contracts which was 30 days or greater delinquent
with respect to the related due period, but only to the extent that the servicer
believes that the amount of such advance will be recoverable from collections on
the contracts. The servicer will be entitled to reimbursement of its outstanding
advances on any payment date by means of a first priority withdrawal of certain
funds then held in the collection account. See "DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSFER AND
SERVICING AGREEMENTS--SERVICING--ADVANCES" in the prospectus and
"--DISTRIBUTIONS" in this prospectus supplement.

     DISTRIBUTIONS

     On each payment date prior to the acceleration of the notes, the servicer
will direct the indenture trustee to apply the Available Amounts, together with
amounts withdrawn from the reserve fund, to the following payments and
distributions in the following order of priority:

     (1)  to the noteholders, the amount of any mandatory redemption, in the
          manner described under "DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES--MANDATORY REDEMPTION
          FOLLOWING THE FUNDING PERIOD";

     (2)  reimbursement of servicer advances;

     (3)  payment of the servicing fee;

     (4)  payment of the indenture trustee's fee;

     (5)  all accrued and unpaid interest on the Class A notes, including any
          accrued and unpaid interest on the Class A notes payable on prior
          payment dates plus interest on that accrued and unpaid interest to the
          Class A-1 notes and the Class A-2 notes, PRO RATA;

     (6)  all accrued and unpaid interest on the Class B notes, including any
          accrued and unpaid interest on the Class B notes payable on prior
          payment dates plus interest on that accrued and unpaid interest;

     (7)  the Class A Note Principal Distributable Amount, FIRST, to the Class
          A-1 notes until the Class A-1 notes have been paid in full, and
          SECOND, to the Class A-2 notes until the Class A-2 notes have been
          paid in full;

     (8)  the Class B Note Principal Distributable Amount to the Class B notes
          until the Class B notes have been paid in full;

     (9)  to the reserve fund, any amount necessary to increase the amount on
          deposit in the reserve fund to the required amount; and

                                      S-41
<Page>

     (10) any remaining amounts to the trust depositor as certificateholder
          under the trust agreement.

     The trust is to make payments first from the Available Amounts, and second,
but only as to amounts described in clauses (5), (6), (7) and (8) above, from
amounts permitted to be withdrawn from the reserve fund as described under
"CERTAIN INFORMATION REGARDING THE NOTES--THE ACCOUNTS--RESERVE FUND" above.

     On each payment date after an event of default due to a breach of a
material covenant or agreement by the trust and acceleration of the notes, all
distributions available to the noteholders will be made in the following
priority:

     -    all accrued and unpaid interest on the Class A notes, including any
          accrued and unpaid interest on the Class A notes payable on prior
          payment dates plus interest on that accrued and unpaid interest, to
          the Class A-1 notes and the Class A-2 notes, PRO RATA;

     -    all accrued and unpaid interest on the Class B notes, including any
          accrued and unpaid interest on the Class B notes payable on prior

          A notes have been paid in full; and

     -    any amounts remaining to the Class B notes until the Class B notes
          have been paid in full.

     On each payment date after an event of default due to a payment default or
certain insolvency events and acceleration of the notes, all distributions
available to the noteholders will be made in the following priority:

     -    all accrued and unpaid interest on the Class A notes, including any
          accrued and unpaid interest on the Class A notes payable on prior
          payment dates plus interest on that accrued and unpaid interest, PRO
          RATA;

     -    any amounts remaining to the Class A notes, PRO RATA, until the Class
          A notes have been paid in full;

     -    all accrued and unpaid interest on the Class B notes, including any
          accrued and unpaid interest on the Class B notes payable on prior
          payment dates plus interest on that accrued and unpaid interest; and

     -    any amounts remaining to the Class B notes until the Class B notes
          have been paid in full.

                    MATERIAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

     TREATMENT OF TRUST

     Winston & Strawn, as federal tax counsel to the trust, will deliver its
opinion that the trust will not be an association (or a publicly traded
partnership) taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. This
opinion will be based on the assumptions and qualifications described in the
accompanying prospectus under the caption "MATERIAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX
CONSEQUENCES--OWNER TRUSTS."

     TREATMENT OF INVESTORS IN NOTES

     Each purchaser of the notes agrees to treat the notes as debt for federal
income tax purposes. An investor will be taxed on the amount of payments of
interest on a note as ordinary interest income at the time it accrues or is
received in accordance with the investor's regular method of accounting. An
investor who disposes of a note will recognize taxable gain or loss equal to the
difference between the amount realized and the investor's adjusted tax basis in
the note. Any gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss assuming the notes
constitute capital assets in the hands of the owner. Special rules apply to
investors who purchase notes at a discount or a premium. The foregoing general
description of the treatment of investors in notes is subject to the further
explanation, assumptions and qualifications set forth in the accompanying
prospectus.

                              ERISA CONSIDERATIONS

     The notes may be purchased by or with plan assets of an employee benefit
plan, an individual retirement account or a similar arrangement (a "PLAN")
subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "CODE"). A fiduciary of a Plan must determine that the purchase of
a note is consistent with its fiduciary duties under ERISA and does not result
in a nonexempt prohibited transaction as defined in Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code. For additional information regarding treatment of the
notes under ERISA, see "ERISA CONSIDERATIONS" in the accompanying prospectus.
Each person that acquires a note and that is or is acquiring the note on behalf
of or with plan assets of a Plan will be deemed to have represented that its
acquisition and holding of the note do not give rise to a prohibited transaction
under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or under any
substantially similar applicable law, for which a statutory, regulatory or
administrative exemption is not available.

     Because the trust, the indenture trustee, the owner trustee, the servicer
and the underwriters may receive benefits in connection with a sale of the
notes, the purchase of notes with assets of a plan over which any of these
parties or their affiliates has investment authority may be deemed to be a
violation of the prohibited transaction rules of ERISA and the Code for which no
exemption may be available. Accordingly, the fiduciary of a Plan considering a
purchase of the notes should consult with counsel concerning possible prohibited
transactions if any of these parties

     -    has investment or administrative discretion with respect to the assets
          of the Plan,

                                      S-43
<Page>

     -    has authority or responsibility to give, or regularly gives,
          investment advice with respect to those plan assets for a fee and
          pursuant to an agreement or understanding that the advice will serve
          as a primary basis for investment decisions with respect to those
          assets and will be based on the particular investment needs of the
          Plan, or

     -    unless Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 90-1, PTCE
          91-38 or PTCE 95-60 applies to the transaction, is an employer
          maintaining or contributing to the Plan.

     The sale of any of the notes to a Plan is in no respect a representation by
the trust, the trust depositor, the servicer, the seller or the underwriters
that such an investment meets all relevant legal requirements relating to
investments by Plans generally or any particular Plan, or that such an
investment is appropriate for Plans generally or any particular Plan.

                                LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     None of the trust depositor, the servicer, the seller, or the trust are
parties to any legal proceeding which could have a material adverse impact on
your interest in the securities or in the trust's assets.

                                  UNDERWRITING

     In the underwriting agreement, the underwriters have agreed, subject to the
terms and conditions set forth therein, to purchase all of the notes being
offered, if any of the notes are purchased. The underwriters have advised the
trust depositor that they propose initially to offer the notes to the public at
the respective public offering prices shown on the cover page of this prospectus
supplement, and to certain dealers at that price, less a concession not in
excess of the amount noted in the table below. The underwriters may allow and
the dealers may reallow to other dealers a discount not in excess of the amount
noted in the table below.

</Table>

     After the initial public offering of the securities, the offering prices
and other selling terms may be varied by the underwriters.

     Until the distribution of the notes is completed, rules of the SEC may
limit the ability of the underwriters and certain selling group members to bid
for and purchase the notes. As an exception to these rules, the underwriters are
permitted to engage in certain transactions that stabilize the price of the
notes. Such transactions consist of bids or purchases for the purpose of
pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the notes.

     If the underwriters create a short position in the notes in connection with
this offering (i.e., they sell more notes than the aggregate initial principal
amount set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement), the
underwriters may reduce that short position by purchasing notes in the open
market. In general, purchases of a security for the purpose of stabilization or
to reduce a short position could cause the price of the security to be higher
than it might be in the absence of such purchases.

     Neither the seller, the trust depositor, the trust nor any of the
underwriters makes any representation or prediction as to the direction or
magnitude of any effect that any of the transactions described above might have
on the price of the notes. In addition, neither the seller, the trust depositor,
the trust nor any of the underwriters makes any representation that the
underwriters will engage in such transactions or that such transactions, if
commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

     There is currently no secondary market for the notes and you should not
assume that one will develop. The underwriters currently expect, but are not
obligated to make a market in the notes. You should not assume that any such
market will develop, or if one does develop, that it will continue or provide
sufficient liquidity.

     The underwriters have represented and agreed that:

     (i)   they have not offered or sold and, prior to the expiration of the
           period of six months from the closing date, will not offer or sell
           any notes to persons in the United Kingdom, except to persons whose
           ordinary activities involve them in acquiring, holding, managing or
           disposing of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of
           their businesses or otherwise in circumstances which have not
           resulted and will not result in an offer to the public in the United
           Kingdom within the meaning of the Public Offers of Notes Regulation
           1995;

     (ii)  they have complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of
           the Financial Services Act 1986 with respect to anything done by it
           in relation to the notes in, from or otherwise involving the United
           Kingdom; and

                                      S-45
<Page>

     (iii) they have only issued or passed on and will only issue or pass on in
           the United Kingdom any document received by it in connection with
           the issue of the notes to a person who is of a kind described in
           Article 11(3) of the Financial Services Act 1986 (Investment
           Advertisements) (Exemptions) Order 1995, or is a person to whom such
           document may otherwise lawfully be issued or passed on.

     The underwriting agreement provides that the seller and the trust depositor
will indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or contribute to
payments the underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof.

     In the ordinary course of their respective businesses, the underwriters and
their respective affiliates have engaged and may in the future engage in
investment banking or commercial banking transactions with Harley-Davidson,

          GLOBAL CLEARANCE, SETTLEMENT AND TAX DOCUMENTATION PROCEDURES

     Except in certain limited circumstances, the globally offered Securities
(the "GLOBAL SECURITIES") will be available only in book-entry form. Investors
in the Global Securities may hold such Global Securities through DTC and, in the
case of the Notes, Euroclear or Clearstream. The Global Securities will be
tradable as home market instruments in both the European and U.S. domestic
markets. Initial settlement and all secondary trades will settle in same-day
funds.

     Secondary market trading between investors holding Global Securities
through Euroclear and Clearstream will be conducted in the ordinary way in
accordance with their normal rules and operating procedures and in accordance
with conventional eurobond practice (i.e. seven calendar day settlement).

     Secondary market trading between investors holding Global Securities
through DTC will be conducted according to the rules and procedures applicable
to U.S. corporate debt obligations.

     Secondary cross-market trading between Euroclear or Clearstream and DTC
participants holding Global Securities will be effected on a
delivery-against-payment basis through the respective depositaries of Euroclear
and Clearstream (in such capacity) and as DTC participants.

     Non-U.S. holders (as described below) of Global Securities will be subject
to U.S. withholding taxes unless such holders meet certain requirements and
deliver appropriate U.S. tax documents to the securities clearing organizations
or their participants.

INITIAL SETTLEMENT

     All Global Securities will be held in book-entry form by DTC in the name of
Cede & Co. as nominee of DTC. Investors' interests in the Global Securities will
be represented through financial institutions acting on their behalf as direct
and indirect participants in DTC. As a result, Euroclear and Clearstream will
hold positions on behalf of their participants through their respective
depositaries, which in turn will hold such positions in accounts as DTC
participants.

     Investors electing to hold their Global Securities through DTC will follow
the settlement practices applicable to similar issues on pass-through
certificates. Investors' securities custody accounts will be credited with their
holdings against payment in same-day funds on the settlement date.

     Investors electing to hold their Global Securities through Euroclear or
Clearstream accounts will follow the settlement procedures applicable to
conventional eurobonds, except that there will be no temporary global security
and no "LOCK-UP" or restricted period. Global Securities will be credited to the
securities custody accounts on the settlement date against payments in same-day
funds.

SECONDARY MARKET TRADING

     Since the purchaser determines the place of delivery, it is important to
establish the time of the trade where both the purchaser's and seller's accounts
are located to ensure that settlement can be made on the desired value date.

     TRADING BETWEEN DTC PARTICIPANTS. Secondary market trading between DTC
participants will be settled using the procedures applicable to similar issues
of pass-through certificates in same-day funds.

     TRADING BETWEEN EUROCLEAR AND/OR CLEARSTREAM PARTICIPANTS. Secondary market
trading between Euroclear participants or Clearstream participants will be
settled using the procedures applicable to conventional eurobonds in same-day
funds.

     TRADING BETWEEN DTC SELLER AND EUROCLEAR OR CLEARSTREAM PURCHASER. When
Global Securities are to be transferred from the account of a DTC participant to
the account of a Euroclear participant or a Clearstream participant, the
purchaser will send instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream through a Euroclear
participant or Clearstream participant at least one business day prior to
settlement. Euroclear or Clearstream will instruct the respective depositary, as
the case may be, to receive the Global Securities against payment. Payment will
include interest accrued on the Global Securities from and including the last
coupon payment date to and excluding the settlement date. Payment will then be
made by the respective depositary to the DTC participant's account against
delivery of the Global Securities. After settlement has been completed, the
Global Securities will be credited to the respective clearing system and by the
clearing system, in accordance with its usual procedures, to the Euroclear
participant's or Clearstream participant's account. The Global Securities credit
will appear the next day (European time) and the cash debit will be back-valued
to, and the interest on the Global Securities will accrue from, the value date;
(which would be the preceding day when settlement occurred in New York). If
settlement is not completed on the intended value date (i.e., the trade fails),
the Euroclear or Clearstream cash debit will be valued instead as of the actual
settlement date.

     Euroclear participants and Clearstream participants will need to make
available to the respective clearing systems the funds necessary to process
same-day funds settlement. The most direct means of doing so is to pre-positions
funds for settlement, either from cash on hand or existing lines of credit, as
they would for any settlement occurring within Euroclear or Clearstream. Under
this approach, they may take on credit exposure to Euroclear or Clearstream
until the Global Securities are credited to their accounts one day later.

     As an alternative, if Euroclear or Clearstream has extended a line of
credit to them, Euroclear participants or Clearstream participants can elect to
pre-position funds and allow that credit line to be drawn upon the finance
settlement. Under this procedure, Euroclear participants or Clearstream
participants purchasing Global Securities would incur overdraft charges for one
day, assuming they cleared the overdraft when the Global Securities were
credited to their accounts. However, interest on the Global Securities would
accrue from the value date. Therefore, in many cases the investment income on
the Global Securities earned during that one-day period may substantially reduce
or offset the amount of such overdraft charges, although this

                                      S-49
<Page>

result will depend on each Euroclear participant's or Clearstream participant's
particular cost of funds.

     Since the settlement is taking place during New York business hours, DTC
participants can employ their usual procedures for sending Global Securities to
the respective Depositary for the benefit of Euroclear participants or
Clearstream participants. The sale proceeds will be available to the DTC seller
on the settlement date. Thus, to the DTC participant a cross-market transaction
will settle no differently than a trade between two DTC participants.

     TRADING BETWEEN EUROCLEAR OR CLEARSTREAM SELLER AND DTC PURCHASER. Due to
time zone differences in their favor, Euroclear participants and Clearstream
participants may employ their customary procedures for transactions in which
Global Securities are to be transferred by the respective clearing system,
through the respective Depositary, to a DTC participant. The seller will send
instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream through a Euroclear participant or
Clearstream participant at least one business day prior to settlement. In these
cases, Euroclear or Clearstream will instruct the respective Depositary, as
appropriate, to deliver the bonds to the DTC participant's account against
payment. Payment will include interest accrued on the Global Securities from and
including the last coupon payment date to and excluding the settlement date. The
payment will then be reflected in the account of the Euroclear participant or
Clearstream participant the following day, and receipt of the cash proceeds in
the Euroclear participant's or Clearstream participant's account, would be
back-valued to the value date (which would be the preceding day, when settlement
occurred in New York). Should the Euroclear participant or Clearstream
participant have a line of credit with its respective clearing system and elect
to be in debit in anticipation or receipt of the sale proceeds in its account,
the back-valuation will extinguish any overdraft charges incurred over that
one-day-period. If settlement is not completed on the intended value date (i.e.,
the trade fails), receipt of the cash proceeds in the Euroclear participant's or
Clearstream participant's account would instead be valued as of the actual
settlement date. Finally, day traders that use, Euroclear or Clearstream and
that purchase Global Securities from DTC participants for delivery to Euroclear
participants or Clearstream participants should note that these trades would
automatically fail on the sale side unless affirmative action were taken. At
least three techniques should be readily available to eliminate this potential
problem:

          (a)  borrowing through Euroclear or Clearstream for one
               day (until the purchase side of the day trade is
               reflected in their Euroclear or Clearstream
               accounts) in accordance with the clearing system's
               customary procedures;

          (b)  borrowing the Global Securities in the U.S. from a
               DTC participant no later than one day prior to
               settlement, which would give the Global Securities
               sufficient time to be reflected in their Euroclear
               or Clearstream account in order to settle the sale
               side of the trade; or

                                      S-50
<Page>

          (c)  staggering the value dates for the buy and sell
               sides of the trade so that the value date for the
               purchase from the DTC participant is at least one
               day prior to the value date for the sale to the
               Euroclear participant or Clearstream participant.

CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS

     A beneficial owner of Global Securities holding securities through
Euroclear or Clearstream (or through DTC if the holder has an address outside
the U.S.) will be subject to the 30% U.S. withholding tax that generally applies
to payments of interest (including original issue discount) on registered debt
issued by U.S. Persons, unless (i) each clearing system, bank or other financial
institution that holds customers' securities in the ordinary course of its trade
or business in the chain of intermediaries between such beneficial owner and the
U.S. entity required to withhold tax complies with applicable certification
requirements and (ii) such beneficial owner takes one of the following steps to
obtain an exemption or reduced tax rate:

          EXEMPTION FOR NON-U.S. PERSONS (FORM W-8BEN). Beneficial owners of
     Securities that are non-U.S. Persons can obtain a complete exemption from
     the withholding tax by filing a signed Form W-8BEN (Certificate of Foreign
     Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding). If the
     information shown on Form W-8BEN changes, a new Form W-8BEN must be filed
     within 30 days of such change.

          EXEMPTION FOR NON-U.S. PERSONS WITH EFFECTIVELY CONNECTED INCOME (FORM
     W-8ECI). A non-U.S. Person, including a non-U.S. corporation or bank with a
     U.S. branch, for which the interest income is effectively connected with
     its conduct of a trade or business in the United States, can obtain an
     exemption from the withholding tax by filing Form W-8ECI (Certificate of
     Foreign Person's Claim for Exemption from Withholding on Income Effectively
     Connected with the Conduct of a Trade or Business in the United States).

          EXEMPTION OR REDUCED RATE FOR NON-U.S. PERSONS RESIDENT IN TREATY
     COUNTRIES (FORM W-8BEN). Non-U.S. Persons that are Securityholders residing
     in a country that has a tax treaty with the United States can obtain an
     exemption or reduced tax rate (depending on the treaty terms) by filing
     Form W-8BEN (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United
     States Tax Withholding). Form W-8BEN may be filed by the Securityholder or
     his agent.

          EXEMPTION FOR U.S. PERSONS (FORM W-9). U.S. Persons can obtain a
     complete exemption from the withholding tax by filing Form W-9 (Payer's
     Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification).

          U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX REPORTING PROCEDURES. The holder of a Global
     Security or in the case of a Form W-8BEN or a Form W-8ECI filer, his agent,
     files by submitting the appropriate form to the person through whom it
     holds (the clearing agency, in the case of persons holding directly on the
     books of the clearing agency). Form W-8BEN

                                      S-51
<Page>

     and Form W-8ECI are effective until the third succeeding calendar year from
     the date the form is signed.

     The term "U.S. PERSON" means (i) a citizen or resident of the United
States, (ii) a corporation or partnership (or other business entity treated as
such) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state
or political subdivision thereof or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate
the income of which is includible in gross income for United States federal
income tax purposes, regardless of its source or (iv) a trust if a court within
the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the
administration of the trust and one or more United States persons have the
authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust. Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, to the extent provided in Treasury regulations, certain
trusts in existence on August 20, 1996, and treated as United States persons
under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "CODE")
and applicable Treasury regulations thereunder prior to such date, that elect to
continue to be treated as United States persons under the Code or applicable
Treasury regulations thereunder also will be a U.S. Person. This summary does
not deal with all aspects of U.S. Federal income tax withholding that may be
relevant to foreign holders of the Global Securities. Investors are advised to
consult their own tax advisors for specific tax advice concerning their holding
and disposing of the Global Securities.

       specific terms of your series of securities.

     If the terms of a particular series of securities vary between this
prospectus and the prospectus supplement, you should rely on the information in
the prospectus supplement.

     We have included cross-references in this prospectus and the accompanying

words in this prospectus, we are making a forward-looking statement, or a
projection of what we think will happen in the future. Forward-looking
statements are inherently subject to a variety of circumstances, many of which

                                    certificates and will be formed by a trust
                                    agreement between the depositor and the
                                    trustee of the owner trust. A "grantor
                                    trust" will issue only certificates and will
                                    be formed by a pooling and servicing

                                    contracts to the seller. The seller acquires
                                    the contracts from motorcycle dealers or
                                    Eaglemark Savings Bank, in the ordinary

                                    obligor. The servicer will not be obligated
                                    to make an advance if it determines that it
                                    will not be able to recover that advance
                                    from an obligor. The trust will reimburse

                                    has made from late collections on the
                                    contracts for which it has made advances or
                                    from collections generally if the servicer
                                    determines that an advance will not be
                                    recoverable from an obligor.

                                    advances to the trust and the reimbursement
                                    of those advances.

                                           assets of the trust.

   Owner Trusts.................... If your prospectus supplement specifies that
                                    the related trust will be treated as an
                                    "owner trust":

                                    1.   Winston & Strawn will deliver an
                                         opinion that:

                                         - the notes will be characterized as
                                           debt for federal income tax purposes;
                                           and

                                         - the trust will not be characterized
                                           as an "ASSOCIATION" or "PUBLICLY
                                           TRADED PARTNERSHIP" taxable as a
                                           corporation;

                                    2.   by purchasing a note, you will agree to
                                         treat your note as debt for federal,
                                         state and local income tax purposes;
                                         and

                                    3.   by purchasing a certificate, you will
                                         agree to treat the trust as a
                                         partnership in which you are a partner
                                         for federal, state and local income tax
                                         purposes.

   FASITs.......................... If your prospectus supplement specifies that
                                    an election will be made for the trust to be
                                    treated as a "financial asset securitization
                                    investment trust," or FASIT, Winston &
                                    Strawn will deliver an opinion that,
                                    assuming timely filing of a FASIT election
                                    and compliance with the terms of the
                                    governing documents, the trust, or one or
                                    more segregated pools of trust assets, will
                                    qualify as one or more FASITs.

                                    You should refer to "MATERIAL FEDERAL INCOME

                                  RISK FACTORS

     The following risk factors and the risk factors in your prospectus
supplement describe the principal risk factors relating to an investment in the
securities. You should carefully consider the following risk factors and the
additional risk factors described in the section captioned "RISK FACTORS" in
your prospectus supplement before you invest in any class of securities.

YOU MUST RELY ON THE TRUST'S ASSETS FOR REPAYMENT WHICH MAY NOT BE SUFFICIENT TO
   MAKE FULL PAYMENTS ON YOUR SECURITIES

     The securities represent interests solely in the trust or indebtedness of
the trust and will not be insured or guaranteed by the originators, the seller,
the servicer, the depositor, or any of their respective affiliates, or the
related trustee or any other person or entity. The only source of payment for
your securities is payments received on the contracts held by the trust and
credit enhancement, if any, for your securities. The amount of credit
enhancement available to cover shortfalls in distributions of interest on and
principal of your securities may be limited. If the credit enhancement is
exhausted, you will be paid solely from payments on the contracts.

YOU MAY EXPERIENCE REDUCED RETURNS ON YOUR INVESTMENT DUE TO PREPAYMENTS ON THE
   CONTRACTS, REPURCHASES OF THE CONTRACTS, LIQUIDATIONS OF DEFAULTED CONTRACTS
   AND EARLY TERMINATION OF THE TRUST

     A higher than anticipated level of prepayments of the contracts or
liquidations of defaulted contracts may cause a trust to pay principal on your
securities sooner than you expected. Also, a trust may pay principal on your
securities sooner than you expected if the depositor or the servicer repurchases
contracts from the trust. You may not be able to reinvest the principal paid to
you at yields that are equivalent to the yields on your securities; therefore,
the ultimate return you receive on your investment in the securities may be less
than the return you expected on the securities.

     The contracts included in the trust may be prepaid, in full or in part,
voluntarily or as a result of defaults, theft of or damage to the related
motorcycles or for other reasons. The depositor will be required to repurchase a
contract from the trust if a breach of its representations and warranties
relating to that contract materially and adversely affects the trust's or the
securityholders' interest in the contract or the collectibility of the contract.
In that event, the seller will be obligated to repurchase the contract from the
depositor. Certain motorcycle dealer agreements between each of the motorcycle
dealers and the seller require the motorcycle dealer to repurchase certain
motorcycles repossessed by the seller in the event of a default by the obligor
pursuant to contracts designated as full recourse. This recourse to the dealers
will be assigned by the seller to the depositor pursuant to the transfer and
sale agreement, assigned from the depositor to the trust pursuant to the pooling
and servicing or sale and servicing agreement and, if applicable, pledged by the
trust to the indenture trustee pursuant to the indenture. There can be no
assurance that a motorcycle dealer will perform its obligations under such
motorcycle dealer agreements if and when required to do so. In addition, the
seller will be required to purchase contracts from the trust if it breaches
certain covenants with respect to those contracts. The seller may purchase all
remaining contracts from the trust when the aggregate outstanding principal
balance of the contracts is less than 10% of the sum of (i) the aggregate
outstanding

                                       10
<Page>

principal balance of the contracts owned by the trust as of the closing date and
(ii) the initial amount on deposit in the pre-funding account, if any.

     The depositor cannot fully predict the extent to which prepayments on the
contracts by the related obligors will shorten the life of the securities. The
rate of prepayments on the contracts may be influenced by a variety of economic,
social and other factors including:

     - changes in customer requirements;

     - the level of interest rates;

     - the level of casualty losses; and

     - the overall economic environment.

     The depositor cannot assure you that prepayments on the contracts held by
the trust will conform to any historical experience. The depositor cannot
predict the actual rates of prepayments which will be experienced on the
contracts. However, your prospectus supplement may present information as to the
principal balances of the securities remaining on each payment date under
several hypothetical prepayment rates. You will bear all reinvestment risk
resulting from prepayments on the contracts and the corresponding acceleration
of payments on the securities. See "WEIGHTED AVERAGE LIVES OF THE SECURITIES" in
this prospectus.

CERTAIN EVENTS OF DEFAULT UNDER THE INDENTURE MAY RESULT IN INSUFFICIENT FUNDS
   TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON YOUR SECURITIES

     If the trust fails to pay principal of any class of notes on its final
scheduled payment date, or fails to pay interest on any class of notes within
five days of its due date, the indenture trustee or the holders of more than 50%
of the notes or the class or the classes of notes described in your prospectus
supplement may declare the entire amount of the notes to be due immediately. If
this happens, the holders of more than 50% (or such higher percentage as
specified in your prospectus supplement) of the notes or the class or classes of
notes described in your prospectus supplement may direct the indenture trustee
to sell the contracts and prepay the notes. In such event, there may not be
sufficient funds to pay all of the classes of securities in full.

PAID-AHEAD SIMPLE INTEREST CONTRACTS MAY AFFECT THE WEIGHTED AVERAGE LIFE OF THE
   SECURITIES

     If an obligor on a simple interest contract makes a payment on the contract
ahead of schedule, the weighted average life of the securities could be
affected. This is because the additional scheduled payments will be treated as a
principal prepayment and applied to reduce the principal balance of the related
contract. Obligors are generally not required to make any scheduled payments
during the period for which the contract was paid-ahead. During this period,
interest will continue to accrue on the contract principal balance, but the
contract would not be considered delinquent. Furthermore, when an obligor
resumes the required payments, they may be insufficient to cover the interest
that has accrued since the last payment by that obligor.

                                       11
<Page>

     Generally paid-ahead payments shorten the weighted average lives of the
securities when the paid-ahead amount is applied to the payment of principal on
the securities; however, in certain circumstances the weighted average lives of
the securities may be extended. In addition, liquidation proceeds will be
applied first to reimburse any advances made by the servicer. Therefore, to the
extent the servicer makes advances on a paid-ahead simple interest contract
which subsequently goes into default, the loss on this contract may be larger
than would have been the case had advances not been made.

     The seller's portfolio of contracts has historically included simple
interest contracts which have been paid-ahead by one or more scheduled monthly
payments. We cannot predict the number of contracts which may become paid-ahead
simple interest contracts or the amount of scheduled payments which may be paid
ahead.

THE PRICE AT WHICH YOU CAN RESELL YOUR SECURITIES MAY DECREASE IF THE RATINGS OF
   YOUR SECURITIES DECLINE

     At the initial issuance of the offered securities, at least one nationally
recognized statistical rating organization will rate the offered securities in
one of the four highest rating categories. A security rating is not a
recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities. A rating will reflect the rating
agency's assessment of the likelihood that the holders of the securities will
receive the payment of interest on the securities on each payment date and the
payment of principal on the final scheduled payment date. Similar ratings on
different types of securities do not necessarily mean the same thing. You should
analyze the significance of each rating independently from any other rating. At
any time, a rating agency may lower its ratings of the offered securities or
withdraw its ratings entirely. If a rating assigned to any security is lowered
or withdrawn for any reason, you may not be able to resell your securities or
you may be able to resell them only at a substantial discount. For more detailed
information regarding the ratings assigned to the offered securities, see
"RATINGS OF THE SECURITIES" in this prospectus and in your prospectus
supplement.

SUBORDINATION MAY CAUSE SOME CLASSES OF SECURITIES TO BEAR ADDITIONAL CREDIT
   RISK AND DOES NOT ENSURE PAYMENT OF THE MORE SENIOR CLASSES OF SECURITIES

     The trust may pay interest and principal on some classes of securities
prior to paying interest and principal on other classes of securities. The
subordination of some classes of securities to others means that the
subordinated classes of securities are more likely to suffer the consequences of
delinquent payments and defaults on the contracts than the more senior classes
of securities.

     The senior classes of securities could lose the credit enhancement provided
by the subordinate classes if delinquencies and defaults on the contracts
increase and if the collections on the contracts and any credit enhancement
described in your prospectus supplement are insufficient to pay even the senior
classes of securities.

     Your prospectus supplement will describe any subordination provisions
applicable to your securities.

                                       12

FUTURE DELINQUENCY AND LOSS EXPERIENCE OF THE CONTRACTS MAY VARY SUBSTANTIALLY
   FROM THE SERVICER'S HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE

     In your prospectus supplement, we will present the historical delinquency
and loss experience of the portfolio of contracts originated directly or
purchased by the seller and serviced by the servicer. However, the actual
results for the contracts transferred to your trust could be substantially
worse. If so, you may not receive interest and principal payments on your
securities in the amounts and at the times you expect.

INTERESTS OF OTHER PERSONS IN THE CONTRACTS OR THE FINANCED MOTORCYCLES COULD
   REDUCE THE FUNDS AVAILABLE TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON YOUR SECURITIES

     A person could acquire an interest in a contract that is superior to that
of the trust because the servicer will retain possession of the contracts. If a
person purchases contracts, or takes a security interest therein, for value in
the ordinary course of its business and obtains possession of the contracts
without actual knowledge of the trust's interest, that person will acquire an
interest in the contracts superior to the interest of the trust and some or all
of the collections on the contracts may be not available to make payments on the
securities.

     A person could also acquire an interest in a financed motorcycle that is
superior to that of the trust because of the failure to identify the trust as
the secured party on the related certificate of title. The seller will assign
its security interests in the financed motorcycles to the depositor, and the
depositor will assign its security interests in the financed motorcycles to the
trust. The seller's assignment to the depositor, and the depositor's subsequent
assignment to the trust, are subject to state vehicle registration laws. These
registration laws require that the secured party's name appear on the
certificate or similar registration of title in order for the secured party's
security interest to be perfected. To facilitate servicing and reduce
administrative costs, the servicer will continue to hold the certificates of
title or ownership for the motorcycles and will not endorse or otherwise amend
the certificates of title or ownership to identify the trust as the new secured
party. As a result, the trust may not have a perfected security interest in the
financed motorcycles in certain states because the certificates or similar
registrations of title will not be amended to reflect the assignment of the
security interests in the financed motorcycles to the trust. In addition,
because the trust will not be identified as the secured party on any certificate
of title or similar registration of title, the security interest of the trust in
the motorcycles may be defeated through fraud, forgery, negligence or error.

     The holders of some types of liens, such as tax liens or mechanics liens,
may have priority over the trust's security interest in the financed
motorcycles. The trust may lose its security interest in a financed motorcycle
confiscated by the government.

     In the event that the trust must rely upon repossession and sale of the
financed motorcycle securing a defaulted contract to recover amounts due on the
defaulted contract, the trust's ability to realize upon the financed motorcycle
would be limited by the failure to have a perfected security interest in the
related financed motorcycle or the existence of a senior security interest in
the financed motorcycle. In this event, you may be subject to delays in payment
and may incur losses on your investment in the securities as a result of
defaults or delinquencies by obligors. See "LEGAL ASPECTS OF THE
CONTRACTS--SECURITY INTERESTS" in this prospectus.

LIMITATIONS ON ENFORCEABILITY OF SECURITY INTERESTS IN THE FINANCED MOTORCYCLES
   MAY HINDER THE TRUST'S ABILITY TO REALIZE THE VALUE OF THE FINANCED
   MOTORCYCLES

     State law limitations on the enforceability of security interests and the
manner in which a secured party may dispose of collateral may limit or delay the
trust's ability to obtain or sell the financed motorcycles. This could reduce or
delay the availability of funds to make payments on your securities. Under these
state law limitations:

     - some jurisdictions require that the obligor be notified of the default
       and be given a period of time within which it may cure the default prior
       to or after repossession; and

     - the obligor may have the right to redeem collateral for its obligations
       prior to actual sale by paying the secured party the unpaid balance of
       the obligation plus the secured party's expenses for repossessing,
       holding and preparing the collateral for disposition.

CONTRACTS THAT FAIL TO COMPLY WITH CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS MAY BE
   UNENFORCEABLE, WHICH MAY RESULT IN LOSSES ON YOUR INVESTMENT

     The contracts are consumer contracts subject to many federal and state
consumer protection laws. If any of the contracts do not comply with one or more
of these laws, the servicer may be prevented from or delayed in collecting
amounts due on the contracts. If that happens, payments on the securities could
be delayed or reduced. See "LEGAL ASPECTS OF THE CONTRACTS--CONSUMER PROTECTION
LAWS" in this prospectus.

     Each of the depositor and seller will make representations and warranties
relating to the contracts' compliance with consumer protection laws and the
enforceability of the contracts. If those representations and warranties are not
true as to any contract and the breach materially and adversely affects the
trust's or the securityholders' interest in the contract or the collectibility
of the contract, the depositor will be obligated to repurchase the contract from
the trust and the seller will be required to repurchase the contract from the
depositor.

REPURCHASE OBLIGATION OF THE DEPOSITOR AND THE SELLER PROVIDES YOU ONLY LIMITED
   PROTECTION AGAINST PRIOR LIENS ON THE CONTRACTS

     Federal or state law may grant liens on contracts that have priority over
the trust's interest. If the creditor associated with any prior lien on a
contract exercises its remedies, the cash proceeds from the contract and related
financed motorcycle available to the trust will be reduced. In that event, there
may be a delay or reduction in distributions to you. An example of a lien
arising under federal or state law is a tax lien on property of the seller or
depositor arising prior to the time a contract is conveyed to the trust. Such a
tax lien would have priority over the interest of the trust in the contracts.

     The seller will represent and warrant to the depositor, and the depositor
will represent and warrant to the trust, that there are no prior liens on the
contracts. In addition, the seller will represent and warrant to the depositor,
and the depositor will represent and warrant to the trust, that it will not
grant any lien on the contracts. If those representations and warranties are not
true as to any contract and the breach materially and adversely affects the
trust's or the

                                       14
<Page>

securityholders' interest in the contract or the collectibility of the contract,
the depositor will be obligated to repurchase the contract from the trust and
the seller will be required to repurchase the contract from the depositor. There
can be no assurance that the depositor or the seller will be able to repurchase
a contract at the time when it is asked to do so.

CONTRACTS WITH CANADIAN OBLIGORS HAVE ADDITIONAL RISKS WHICH MAY REDUCE THE
AMOUNTS AVAILABLE TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON YOUR SECURITIES

     Certain of the contracts included in the trust were originated in Canada by
Harley-Davidson motorcycle dealers. Canada may impose a 10% non-resident
withholding tax on the gross amount of any interest payments paid or credited by
Canadian obligors to the seller, the depositor and the trust, as assignees, each
as residents of the United States for the purposes of the Canada-United States
Income Tax Convention. As a result, the interest payments actually received by
the seller, and the trust as the assignee, from Canadian obligors may be reduced
by the amount of the withholding tax. Therefore, the effective interest rate on
contracts that were originated in Canada may be lower than the stated interest
rate on such contracts.

     In addition, payments under the Canadian contracts are made in Canadian
dollars. Since the trust will make payments on the securities in U.S. dollars
and receive payments on the Canadian contracts in Canadian dollars, the trust
may be exposed to changes in currency exchange rates. If the trust enters into a
currency swap to protect against this risk, its ability to protect itself from
shortfalls in cash flow caused by currency changes will depend to a large extent
on the terms of the swap agreement and whether the swap counterparty performs
its obligations under the swap. If the trust does not receive the payments it
expects from the swap counterparty, the trust may not have adequate funds to
make all payments to securityholders when due, if ever. A currency swap requires
one party to provide a specified amount of a currency to the other party at
specified times in exchange for the other party providing a different currency
at a predetermined exchange ratio. For example, if the trust issues securities
denominated in U.S. dollars, it might enter into a swap agreement with a swap
counterparty under which the trust would use the collections on the receivables
to pay Canadian dollars to the swap counterparty in exchange for receiving U.S.
dollars at a predetermined exchange rate to make the payments owed on the
securities. The terms of any swap will be described in more detail in the
applicable prospectus supplement.

     Canadian provincial law limitations on the enforceability of security
interests and the manner in which a secured party may dispose of collateral may
limit or delay the trust's ability to enforce its security and dispose of the
motorcycles financed under Canadian contracts. This could reduce or delay the
availability of funds to make payments on your securities. Under these Canadian
law limitations, most provinces require that the obligor and certain other
persons with an interest in the collateral be notified of the disposition of the
collateral and be given a period of time within which they may satisfy the
obligation secured by the collateral prior to actual sale of the collateral by
paying the secured party the unpaid balance of the obligation plus the secured
party's expenses for repossessing, holding and preparing the collateral for
disposition.

     Those contracts which are originated in Canada are consumer contracts
subject to many Canadian federal and provincial consumer protection laws which
impose requirements on the making and enforcement of consumer credit sales and
the granting of consumer credit generally.

                                       15
<Page>

If any of the contracts do not comply with one or more of these laws, the
servicer may be prevented from or delayed in collecting amounts due on the
contracts. If that happens, payments on the securities could be delayed or
reduced. See "LEGAL ASPECTS OF THE CONTRACTS--CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS" in this
prospectus.

BANKRUPTCY OF THE OBLIGORS MAY REDUCE OR DELAY COLLECTIONS ON THE CONTRACTS, AND
   THE SALE OF FINANCED MOTORCYCLES RELATING TO DEFAULTING OBLIGORS MAY BE
   DELAYED OR MAY NOT RESULT IN COMPLETE RECOVERY OF AMOUNTS DUE

     Bankruptcy and insolvency laws affect the risk of loss on the contracts of
obligors who become subject to bankruptcy proceedings. Those laws could result
in the write-off of contracts of bankrupt obligors or result in delay in
payments due on the contracts. For example, if the obligor becomes bankrupt or
insolvent, the trust may need the permission of a bankruptcy court to obtain and
sell its collateral. As a result, you may be subject to delays in receiving
payments, and you may also suffer losses if available credit enhancement for
losses is insufficient.

IF A BANKRUPTCY COURT DETERMINES THAT THE TRANSFER OF CONTRACTS FROM THE
   MOTORCYCLE DEALERS TO THE SELLER OR FROM THE SELLER TO THE DEPOSITOR WAS NOT
   A TRUE SALE, OR IF A CONSERVATOR OR RECEIVER WERE APPOINTED FOR EAGLEMARK
   SAVINGS BANK, THEN PAYMENTS ON THE CONTRACTS COULD BE DELAYED RESULTING IN
   LOSSES OR DELAYS IN PAYMENTS ON YOUR SECURITIES

     If a motorcycle dealer or the seller became a debtor in a bankruptcy case,
creditors of that party, or that party acting as debtor-in-possession, may
assert that the transfer of the contracts was ineffective to remove the
contracts from that party's estate. In that case, the distribution of payments
on the contracts to the trust might be subject to the automatic stay provisions
of the United States Bankruptcy Code. This would delay the distribution of those
payments to you for an uncertain period of time. Furthermore, reductions in
payments under the contracts to the trust may result if the bankruptcy court
rules in favor of the creditors or the debtor-in-possession. In either case, you
may experience delays or reductions in distributions or payments to you. In
addition, a bankruptcy trustee would have the power to sell the contracts if the
proceeds of the sale could satisfy the amount of the debt deemed owed by the
motorcycle dealer or the seller, as the case may be. The bankruptcy trustee
could also substitute other collateral in lieu of the contracts to secure the
debt. Additionally, the bankruptcy court could adjust the debt if the motorcycle
dealer or the seller were to file for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code. Any of these actions could result in losses or
delays in payments on your securities. The motorcycle dealers and the seller
will each represent and warrant that its conveyance of the contracts is a valid
sale and transfer of the contracts. See "LEGAL ASPECTS OF THE CONTRACTS--CERTAIN
BANKRUPTCY CONSIDERATIONS."

     By statute, the FDIC as conservator or receiver is authorized to repudiate
any "contracts" of Eaglemark Savings Bank upon payment of "actual direct
compensatory damages." This authority may be interpreted by the FDIC to permit
it to repudiate the transfer of contracts to the seller. Under an FDIC
regulation, however, the FDIC as conservator or receiver will not reclaim,
recover or recharacterize a bank's transfer of financial assets if certain
conditions are met, including that the transfer qualifies for sale accounting
treatment, was made for adequate consideration and was not made fraudulently, in
contemplation of insolvency, or with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud the
bank or its creditors. We believe the FDIC regulation will apply

                                       16
<Page>

to the transfer of contracts to the seller and intend on satisfying the
conditions of the regulation. If a condition required under the FDIC regulation,
or other statutory or regulatory requirement applicable to the transactions,
were found not to have been satisfied, the FDIC as conservator or receiver might
refuse to recognize Eaglemark Savings Bank's transfer of contracts to the
seller. In that case, distribution of payments on the contracts to the trust may
be delayed and possibly reduced. Also, the FDIC could require the trust and
securityholders to comply with the administrative claims procedure established
by the FDIC to establish their rights to payments on the contracts, could
request a stay of any actions to enforce the participation agreement against
Eaglemark Savings Bank, or could repudiate the participation agreement pursuant
to which the seller purchases the contracts from Eaglemark Savings Bank and
limit claims of the trust and securityholders to "actual direct compensatory
damages." Additionally, the trust could be limited to seeking recovery based
upon the obligation of the seller to repurchase contracts for which it did not
have good and marketable title. Any of these actions could result in losses or
delays in payments on your securities.

IF A BANKRUPTCY COURT DECIDES TO CONSOLIDATE THE ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF THE
   DEPOSITOR AND THE SELLER, PAYMENTS ON THE CONTRACTS COULD BE DELAYED
   RESULTING IN LOSSES OR DELAYS IN PAYMENTS ON THE SECURITIES

     If the seller became a debtor in a bankruptcy case, the seller, a creditor
or party acting as debtor-in-possession could request a bankruptcy court to
order that the seller's assets and liabilities be substantively consolidated
with the depositor's assets and liabilities. If the bankruptcy court
consolidated the assets and liabilities of the seller and the depositor, delays
and possible reductions in the amounts of distributions on the securities could
occur. See "LEGAL ASPECTS OF THE CONTRACTS--CERTAIN BANKRUPTCY CONSIDERATIONS."

PROCEEDS OF THE SALE OF CONTRACTS MAY NOT BE SUFFICIENT TO PAY YOUR SECURITIES
   IN FULL; FAILURE TO PAY PRINCIPAL ON YOUR SECURITIES WILL NOT CONSTITUTE AN
   EVENT OF DEFAULT UNTIL MATURITY

     If so directed by the holders of the requisite percentage of outstanding
notes following an acceleration of the notes upon an event of default, the
indenture trustee in certain circumstances will sell the contracts owned by the
trust. However, there is no assurance that the market value of those contracts
will at any time be equal to or greater than the aggregate outstanding principal
balance of the securities. Therefore, upon a sale of the contracts, there can be
no assurance that sufficient funds will be available to repay your securities in
full. In addition, the amount of principal required to be paid to you on each
payment date will generally be limited to amounts available in the collection
account and the reserve fund, if any. The failure to pay principal of your
securities generally will not result in the occurrence of an event of default
until the final scheduled payment date for your securities. See "DESCRIPTION OF
THE NOTES AND INDENTURE--THE INDENTURE--EVENTS OF DEFAULT; RIGHTS UPON EVENT OF
DEFAULT" in this prospectus.

COMMINGLING OF COLLECTIONS COULD RESULT IN REDUCED PAYMENTS TO YOU

     If permitted by the rating agencies, rating the securities the servicer may
hold collections it receives from the obligors on the contracts with its own
funds until the day prior to the next date on which distributions will be made
on the securities. If the servicer does not pay these amounts to the trust when
required to do so, the trust may be unable to make the payments owed

                                       17
<Page>

on your securities. In the event the servicer becomes a debtor in a bankruptcy
case, the trust may not have a perfected security interest in these collections.
In either case, you may suffer losses on your investment.

YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RESELL YOUR SECURITIES

     There is currently no secondary market for the securities. We cannot assure
you that a secondary market will develop and if it does develop how liquid it
will be. Thus, you may not be able to resell your securities at all, or may be
able to do so only at a substantial discount. The underwriters may assist in
resales of the securities but they are not obligated to do so.

IF THE TRUST ENTERS INTO A CURRENCY OR AN INTEREST RATE SWAP, PAYMENTS ON THE
   SECURITIES WILL BE DEPENDENT ON PAYMENTS MADE UNDER THE SWAP AGREEMENT

     If the trust enters into a swap agreement, its ability to protect itself
from shortfalls in cash flow caused by currency or interest rate changes will
depend to a large extent on the terms of the swap agreement, whether the swap
agreement is legally enforceable and whether the swap counterparty performs its
obligations under the swap. If the trust does not receive the payments it
expects under the swap agreement, the trust may not have adequate funds to make
all payments owed on your securities when due.

THE RATING OF A SWAP COUNTERPARTY MAY AFFECT THE RATINGS OF THE SECURITIES

     If a trust enters into a swap, the rating agencies that rate the trust's
securities will consider the provisions of the swap agreement and the rating of
the swap counterparty. If a rating agency downgrades the debt rating of the swap
counterparty, it may downgrade the rating of the securities. In such an event,
you may not be able to resell your securities or you may be able to resell them
only at a substantial discount.

YOU MAY EXPERIENCE REINVESTMENT RISK ASSOCIATED WITH PRE-FUNDING ACCOUNTS

     If so provided in the prospectus supplement, on the closing date an amount
will be deposited into the pre-funding account. The amount on deposit in the
pre-funding account will be used to purchase subsequent contracts from the
depositor (which, concurrently will acquire such subsequent contracts from the
seller) from time to time during the funding period specified in the prospectus
supplement. If the principal amount of the eligible subsequent contracts
acquired by the seller from the originators during the funding period is less
than the amount on deposit in the pre-funding account, the seller may have
insufficient subsequent contracts to transfer to the depositor.

     Any conveyance of subsequent contracts to a trust is also subject to the
satisfaction, on or before the related subsequent transfer date, of the
following conditions precedent, among others: (i) each such subsequent contract
must satisfy the eligibility criteria specified in the related transfer and sale
agreement, pooling and servicing agreement or sale and servicing agreement, as
applicable; (ii) the seller and the depositor shall not have selected such
subsequent contracts in a manner that is adverse to the interests of holders of
the securities; and (iii) as of the cutoff dates for such subsequent contracts,
all of the contracts in the trust, including the subsequent contracts

                                       18
<Page>

to be conveyed to the trust as of such date, must satisfy the parameters
described in the prospectus supplement.

     To the extent that the amount on deposit in the pre-funding account has not
been applied to the purchase of subsequent contracts by the end of the funding
period, any amounts remaining in the pre-funding account will be distributed as
a prepayment of principal to you, in the amounts and pursuant to the priorities
set forth in the prospectus supplement. To the extent you receive such a
prepayment of principal, there may not then exist a comparably favorable
reinvestment opportunity and you will bear all reinvestment risk resulting from
such prepayments.

THE TRUST HAS LIMITED RECOURSE AGAINST THE SELLER AND THE DEPOSITOR

     None of the seller, the depositor or any of their affiliates is generally
obligated to make any payments in respect of any notes, the certificates or the
contracts of the trust. However, in connection with the sale of contracts by the
depositor to the trust, the depositor will make representations and warranties
with respect to the characteristics of such contracts and, in certain
circumstances, the depositor may be required to repurchase contracts with
respect to which such representations and warranties have been breached. The
seller will correspondingly be obligated to the depositor under the transfer and
sale agreement (which rights of the depositor against the seller will be
assigned to the trust) to repurchase the contracts from the depositor
contemporaneously with the depositor's repurchase of the contracts from the
trust. See "DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSFER AND SERVICING AGREEMENTS--SALE AND
ASSIGNMENT OF CONTRACTS BY SELLER" AND "DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSFER AND
SERVICING AGREEMENTS--REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES MADE BY THE SELLER AND THE
DEPOSITOR."

THE TRUST DOES NOT HAVE SIGNIFICANT ASSETS OR SOURCES OF FUNDS OTHER THAN THE
   CONTRACTS

     The trust does not have and will not be permitted or expected to have, any
significant assets or sources of funds other than the contracts and, to the
extent provided in your prospectus supplement, a pre-funding account, a reserve
fund and any other credit enhancement or trust property. The notes will
represent obligations solely of, and the certificates will represent interests
solely in, the trust, and neither the notes nor the certificates will be insured
or guaranteed by the depositor, the servicer, the trustee, the indenture trustee
or any other person or entity (except as may be described in your prospectus
supplement). Consequently, you must rely for repayment upon payments on the
contracts and, if and to the extent available, amounts on deposit in the
pre-funding account (if any), the reserve fund (if any) and any other credit
enhancement, all as specified in your prospectus supplement. Any such credit
enhancement will not cover all contingencies, and losses in excess of amounts
available pursuant to any credit enhancement will be borne directly by you.

SOCIAL, ECONOMIC AND OTHER FACTORS MAY AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE CONTRACTS
   AND THE AVAILABILITY OF SUBSEQUENT CONTRACTS

     Economic conditions in countries, states or U.S. territories where obligors
reside may affect the delinquency, loan loss and repossession experience of the
trust with respect to the contracts. The performance by such obligors, or the
ability of the seller to acquire from the originators sufficient subsequent
contracts for purchase with the amount on deposit in the pre-

                                       19
<Page>

funding account (if any), may be affected by a variety of social and economic
factors including, but not limited to, interest rates, unemployment levels, the
rate of inflation, and consumer perception of economic conditions generally.
However, neither the seller nor the depositor is able to determine or predict
whether or to what extent economic or social factors will affect the performance
by any obligors, or the availability of subsequent contracts in cases where
subsequent contracts are to be transferred to the trust as specified in the
prospectus supplement.

THE HOLDERS OF THE NOTES OR THE CLASS OR CLASSES OF NOTES DESCRIBED IN YOUR
   PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT MAY REMOVE THE SERVICER WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE
   HOLDERS OF THE CERTIFICATES OR THE OTHER CLASSES OF NOTES

     To the extent specified in your prospectus supplement, if there is a
servicer default under the sale and servicing agreement, the indenture trustee
or the holders of either the notes or the class or classes of notes described in
your prospectus supplement may remove the servicer without the consent of the
indenture trustee or the holders of the certificates or the other classes of
notes. Neither the trustee nor the holders of the certificates will have the
ability, without the concurrence of the holders of the notes or certain classes
of notes, to remove the servicer if a servicer default occurs.

THE RATINGS ON YOUR SECURITIES MAY BE LOWERED OR WITHDRAWN

     It is a condition to the issuance of the offered securities that they be
rated in one of the four highest rating categories by at least one nationally
recognized statistical rating organization. A rating is not a recommendation to
purchase, hold or sell securities inasmuch as such rating does not comment as to
market price or suitability for a particular investor. Ratings of securities
will address the likelihood of the payment of principal and interest thereon
pursuant to their terms. The ratings of securities will not address the
likelihood of an early return of invested principal. There can be no assurance
that a rating will remain for a given period of time or that a rating will not
be lowered or withdrawn entirely by a rating agency if in its judgment
circumstances in the future so warrant. For more detailed information regarding
the ratings assigned to any class of a particular series of securities, see
"RATINGS OF THE NOTES" in your prospectus supplement.

                           HARLEY-DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLES

     All of the motorcycles securing contracts were manufactured by
Harley-Davidson, Inc. ("HARLEY-DAVIDSON"), except that not more than 10.0% of
the contracts (including all subsequent contracts) may relate to, and be secured
by, motorcycles manufactured by Buell Motorcycle Company, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Harley-Davidson ("BUELL"), and not more than 12.0% of the
contracts (including all subsequent contracts) may relate to, and be secured by,
motorcycles manufactured by other manufacturers as described below.

     Harley-Davidson produces and sells premium heavyweight motorcycles. Within
the heavyweight class, Harley-Davidson sells touring motorcycles which are
equipped for long-distance touring, as well as custom motorcycles which
emphasize the distinctive styling associated with certain classic
Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Harley-Davidson motorcycles are based on variations
of five basic chassis designs and are powered by one of five air cooled, twin

                                       20
<Page>

cylinder engines of "V" configuration which have displacements of 883cc, 1200cc,
1340cc, 1450cc and 1550cc. In 2001, Harley-Davidson introduced the "V-ROD"
motorcycle, which has its own unique chassis design and is powered by a
liquid-cooled, twin-cylinder engine of "V" configuration which has a
displacement of 1130cc. The V-Rod combines the styling of a custom motorcycle
with the characteristics of a performance motorcycle. Harley-Davidson
manufactures its own engines and frames and is the only major manufacturer of
motorcycles in the United States.

     Buell produces heavyweight "PERFORMANCE" motorcycles powered by
Harley-Davidson's 1200cc "V" twin-cylinder engines that are further modified in
the manufacturing process. The heavyweight "PERFORMANCE" aspect of the
motorcycles refers to the overall handling characteristics of the motorcycle,
including cornering, acceleration and braking. In 2000, Buell introduced the
"BLAST," a new motorcycle designed to attract new customers to the sport of
motorcycling. This motorcycle is considerably smaller, lighter and less
expensive than traditional heavyweight Buell motorcycles and is powered by a
492cc single-cylinder engine.

                               OTHER MANUFACTURERS

     Except as otherwise specified in your prospectus supplement, contracts
aggregating not more than 12.0% of the aggregate principal balances of all
contracts in a trust (including subsequent contracts) may relate to, and be
secured by, motorcycles manufactured by Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki as well
as certain other manufacturers. Such motorcycles fall within two categories:
"touring cycles" (with displacements typically over 650cc) which are generally
intended for use in long distance travel, "standard cycles" which emphasize
simplicity and cost, "performance cycles" which emphasize handling and
acceleration and "custom cycles" which emphasize styling and individual owner
customization.

                    HARLEY-DAVIDSON FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC.

     Harley-Davidson Financial Services, Inc. ("HDFS") is the financing division
of Harley-Davidson. HDFS was originally formed in June 1992 with a capital
infusion of $10,000,000 from Harley-Davidson and an additional $15,000,000
capital contribution from a major institutional investor in January 1993. In
November 1995, Harley-Davidson purchased the equity owned by the major
institutional investor and, since December 31, 1999, HDFS is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Harley-Davidson. The business of HDFS has been to provide
financial services programs to Harley-Davidson and Buell motorcycle dealers and
customers in the United States, Canada and Europe.

     In addition, HDFS markets the Harley-Davidson Chrome VISA card, through
licensing agreements, in the United States and Canada. HDFS also provides
financial services programs for personal aircraft products in the United States.

                             THE SELLER AND SERVICER

GENERAL

     Harley-Davidson Credit Corp. ("HDCC") is a Nevada corporation and is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of HDFS. HDCC began operations in January 1993 when it
purchased the $85 million wholesale financing portfolio of certain
Harley-Davidson dealers from ITT Commercial Finance; subsequently, HDCC entered
the retail consumer finance business. HDCC provides wholesale and retail
financial services programs to Harley-Davidson and Buell dealers and consumers
in the United States and Canada.

     Wholesale financial services include floorplan and open account financing
for motorcycles and motorcycle parts and accessories, real estate loans,
computer loans, showroom remodeling loans and, through Harley-Davidson Insurance
Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of HDFS ("HDI"), the brokerage of a
range of commercial insurance products.

     Retail financial services include installment lending for new and used
Harley-Davidson and Buell motorcycles and the brokerage of a range of motorcycle
insurance policies and extended service contracts through HDI. HDI acts as an
insurance agent and does not assume any underwriting risk with regard to
insurance policies and extended service agreements.

     HDCC's financing, insurance and credit card programs are designed to work
together as a package that appeals to the needs of Harley-Davidson's customers.
The intent of such a package is to increase dealer and customer loyalty to HDCC
while improving revenue and profits over time. HDCC's principal executive
offices are located at 4150 Technology Way, Carson City, Nevada 89706 (telephone
775/886-3200). As of December 31, 2001, HDCC had total assets of $1,059.3
million, and stockholder's equity of $284.3 million.

UNDERWRITING AND ORIGINATION

     The contracts in each trust have been or will be purchased by the seller
from (i) a network of Harley-Davidson dealers located throughout the United
States and, in certain instances, Canada or (ii) Eaglemark Savings Bank. In the
case of the dealers, the seller's personnel contact dealers and explain the
seller's available financing plans, terms, prevailing rates and credit and
financing policies. If the dealer wishes to use the seller's available customer
financing, the dealer must make an application to the seller for approval. In
the case of Eaglemark Savings Bank, Eaglemark Savings Bank underwrites and
approves each customer's credit application and purchase order in accordance
with the guidelines established by the seller.

     Contracts that the seller purchases from the originators are written on
forms provided or approved by the seller and are purchased on an individually
approved basis in accordance with the seller's guidelines. In the case of the
dealers, the dealer submits the customer's credit application and purchase order
to the seller's office where an analysis of the creditworthiness of the proposed
buyer is made. The analysis includes a review of the proposed buyer's paying
habits, collateral information, length and likelihood of continued employment
and certain other procedures. With respect to the contracts purchased by the
seller, the seller's current underwriting guidelines for such contracts
generally require that the monthly payment on the

                                       22
<Page>

contract, together with the obligor's other fixed monthly obligations, not
exceed 40% of the obligor's monthly gross income; provided, however, that the
seller may originate a contract with a monthly payment in excess of 40% of an
obligor's monthly gross income if the obligor makes a larger down payment or has
an exceptionally good credit rating or other offsetting factors exist. With
respect to contracts for new and used Harley-Davidson or Buell motorcycles, the
seller generally finances up to 90% of the motorcycle's sales price. With
respect to contracts for new and used motorcycles not manufactured by
Harley-Davidson or Buell, the seller generally finances up to 85% of the
motorcycle's sales price. The seller will also finance, as part of the principal
balance of the respective contract, certain dealer installed accessories, sales
tax and title fees as well as premiums for the term of the contract on optional
credit life and accident and health insurance, debt cancellation agreements,
premiums for extended warranty insurance, premiums for GAP insurance and
premiums for required physical damage insurance on the motorcycle. If the
application meets the seller's guidelines and the credit is approved, the seller
purchases the contract when the customer accepts delivery of the motorcycle.

INDIVIDUAL MOTORCYCLE INSURANCE

     The terms of each contract require that for the life of the contract, each
motorcycle is to be covered by a collision and comprehensive insurance policy
which covers physical damage risks and names the seller as a loss payee. The
amount of insurance coverage is limited to the value of the motorcycle. In the
transfer and sale agreement, the seller will represent and warrant that each
motorcycle was covered by the required insurance at the time of the related
contract's origination. Pursuant to the contract terms, the servicer may "FORCE
PLACE" (i.e., purchase on its own, with a corresponding claim for reimbursement
against the obligor to the extent provided in the applicable contract) collision
and comprehensive insurance with respect to the related motorcycle in those
situations in which the obligor has not maintained the required insurance. If
the servicer does "FORCE PLACE" insurance, as conveyee and assignee of the
contracts, the trust will be entitled to the benefits of such insurance.
Following repossession of a motorcycle by the servicer, the servicer does not
maintain such insurance. In the event the servicer repossesses a motorcycle on
behalf of the trust, the servicer will act as self-insurer for any damage to
such motorcycle until it is resold.

COLLECTION PROCEDURES

     The servicer will make reasonable efforts to collect all payments due with
respect to the contracts held by any trust and will, consistent with the related
sale and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, follow such
collection procedures as it follows with respect to comparable motorcycle retail
installment sale contracts and installment loans it services for itself or
others.

     The servicer's collection efforts include having personnel, using a
predictive dialer, call a delinquent obligor on a pre-determined basis every
third day in the event such obligor is eleven to twenty-nine days delinquent
(with the exception of first payment defaults and loans classified as "DELTA
ACCOUNTS" which are called beginning on the second day of delinquency). At
thirty days delinquent, the account is reassigned from the predictive dialer
team to a dedicated collection associate and is called every third day in the
event the obligor is thirty to less than ninety days

                                       23
<Page>

delinquent and every day in the event the obligor is greater than ninety days
delinquent. The servicer's general approach is to restructure a delinquent loan
as opposed to repossessing the related motorcycle; however, the servicer's
approach with respect to a specific obligor is affected by the obligor's
responsiveness and attitude. Consistent with this approach, the servicer may, in
its discretion, arrange with the obligor on a contract to extend or modify the
payment schedule, but no such arrangement will, for purposes of any sale and
servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, modify the original due
dates or the amount of the scheduled payments or extend the final payment date
of any contract beyond the last day of the due period relating to the latest
maturity date (as specified with respect to the pool of contracts in the related
prospectus supplement). The servicer may sell the motorcycle securing the
respective contract at public or private sale, or take any other action
permitted by applicable law. See "LEGAL ASPECTS OF THE CONTRACTS" in this
prospectus.

REPOSSESSION

     Certain information concerning the experience of the seller pertaining to
delinquencies, repossessions and net losses with respect to new and used
motorcycle contracts will be set forth in the prospectus supplement. There can
be no assurance that the delinquency, repossession and net loss experience on
any particular pool of contracts will be comparable to prior experience or to
such information.

                                  THE DEPOSITOR

     The depositor will be Harley-Davidson Customer Funding Corp., a
special-purpose finance subsidiary of Harley-Davidson Credit Corp. All of the
common stock of the depositor will be owned by Harley-Davidson Credit Corp. All
of the officers and directors of the depositor will also be employed by
Harley-Davidson Credit Corp. or Harley-Davidson Financial Services, Inc., except
that at least two directors of the depositor will at all times be independent of
Harley-Davidson Credit Corp., Harley Davidson Financial Services, Inc. and
Harley-Davidson, Inc.

                                   THE TRUSTS

     The depositor will establish each trust pursuant to a trust agreement or a
pooling and servicing agreement for the transactions described in this
prospectus. Each trust will be a statutory trust or a common law trust. Each
trust may issue one or more classes of securities, representing debt of or
beneficial ownership interests in the trust.

     On or before the date of the initial issuance of any securities by a trust,
unless otherwise provided for in the prospectus supplement, the seller will sell
the pool of contracts and the related property to the depositor pursuant to a
transfer and sale agreement and the depositor will transfer the pool of
contracts and the related property to the trust in exchange for the securities
issued by the trust pursuant to a sale and servicing agreement or a pooling and
servicing agreement.

     To the extent provided in the prospectus supplement, the depositor may
convey additional contracts to the trust after the closing date as frequently as
daily during a funding period specified in the prospectus supplement. The trust
will purchase any contracts subsequently added to the trust with amounts
deposited in a pre-funding account on the closing

                                       24
<Page>

date. Any subsequent contracts will be required to conform to the requirements
described in the prospectus supplement. Any subsequent contracts will also be
assets of the trust. Any funds remaining on deposit in a pre-funding account at
the end of the funding period will be used to prepay principal on the securities
as specified in your prospectus supplement.

     To the extent provided in the prospectus supplement, all or a portion of
the principal collected on the contracts may be applied by the trustee to the
acquisition of subsequent contracts during a period specified in the prospectus
supplement rather than used to make or distribute payments of principal to
securityholders during that period. These securities would then possess an
interest only period, also commonly referred to as a "REVOLVING PERIOD", which
will be followed by an "AMORTIZATION PERIOD", during which principal will be
paid. Any interest only or revolving period may terminate prior to the end of
the specified period and result in the earlier than expected principal repayment
of the securities.

     The property of each trust, as further specified in your prospectus
supplement, will consist of:

       -  the contracts and the right to receive all scheduled payments and
          prepayments received on the contracts on or after the cut-off date,
          but excluding any scheduled payments due on or after, but received
          prior to, the cut-off date;

       -  amounts that may be held in separate trust accounts maintained by the
          trustee or the indenture trustee for the trust, including any reserve
          fund or interest reserve account;

       -  security interests in the financed motorcycles securing the contracts
          and any related property;

       -  rights with respect to any repossessed financed motorcycles;

       -  the rights to proceeds from claims on physical damage, or other
          insurance policies and debt cancellation agreements covering the
          financed motorcycles or the obligors;

       -  the depositor's rights against the seller under the transfer and sale
          agreement pursuant to which the seller sold the pool of contracts to
          the depositor;

       -  the right to receive payments from the depositor obligated to
          repurchase contracts which do not meet specified representations made
          by depositor in the sale and servicing agreement or the pooling and
          servicing agreement;

       -  the trust's rights against the servicer under the sale and servicing
          agreement or the pooling and servicing agreement;

       -  credit or cash flow enhancement for the securities specified in the
          prospectus supplement; and

                                       25
<Page>

       -  all proceeds of the foregoing.

     To the extent provided in the prospectus supplement, with respect to
contracts from Canadian obligors, property of a trust may include one or more
notes, certificates, participations or other interests issued to the trust by a
Canadian special purpose entity and secured by such Canadian contracts. The
property of a trust may also include a derivative arrangement for any series or
any class of securities. A derivative arrangement may include a guaranteed rate
agreement, a maturity liquidity facility, a tax protection agreement, an
interest rate cap or floor agreement, an interest rate or currency swap
agreement or any other similar arrangement. If the property of the trust
includes any of these types of assets, additional information concerning them
will be provided to you in your prospectus supplement.

     If the trust issues notes, the trust will pledge its assets to the
indenture trustee for the benefit of the noteholders to secure its obligations
under the notes.

     No trust will engage in any business activity other than:

       -  issuing notes and/or ownership interests in the trust;

       -  purchasing contracts, security interests in the related financed
          motorcycles and related property;

       -  holding and dealing with assets of the trust;

       -  making payments on the securities it issued;

       -  entering into and performing the duties, responsibilities and
          functions required under the pooling and servicing agreement, the sale
          and servicing agreement, the indenture and related documents; and

       -  matters incidental to the foregoing.

     The assets of a trust will be separate from the assets of all other trusts
created by the depositor. Accordingly, the assets of one trust will not be
available to make payments on the securities issued by any other trust.

                                 USE OF PROCEEDS

     Unless otherwise provided in the related prospectus supplement, the trust
will use the net proceeds received from the sale of the securities (i) to
purchase the initial contracts and related assets from the trust depositor, and
(ii) to make a deposit into the pre-funding account, if any. The seller will use
the net proceeds from the trust depositor's purchase of the initial contracts,
as well as subsequent contracts, for general corporate purposes.

                                   THE TRUSTEE

     The prospectus supplement will specify the trustee for each trust and, if
the trust is issuing notes, the indenture trustee under the indenture. The
trustee's or the indenture trustee's

                                       26
<Page>

liability in connection with the issuance and sale of the related securities is
limited solely to the express obligations set forth in the related trust
agreement, pooling and servicing agreement, sale and servicing agreement or
indenture. A trustee may resign at any time, in which event, the depositor will
be obligated to appoint a successor. An indenture trustee may resign at any
time, in which event, the trust or the administrator, on the trust's behalf,
will be obligated to appoint a successor. A trustee that becomes insolvent or
otherwise ceases to be eligible to continue in that capacity under the related
pooling and servicing agreement or trust agreement may be removed by the
depositor. An indenture trustee that becomes insolvent or otherwise ceases to be
eligible to continue in its capacity under the indenture may be removed by the
trust or the administrator, on the trust's behalf. In those circumstances, the
servicer or the administrator, as the case may be, will be obligated to appoint
a successor. Any resignation or removal of a trustee will not become effective
until acceptance of the appointment of a successor trustee.

     In addition, the holders of more than 50% of the aggregate principal amount
of the notes or the class or classes of the notes described in your prospectus
supplement may remove the indenture trustee without cause and may appoint a
successor indenture trustee. If a trust issues a class of notes that is
subordinated to one or more other classes of notes and an event of default
occurs under the indenture, the indenture trustee may be deemed to have a
conflict of interest under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 and may be required
to resign as trustee for one or more of the classes of notes. In any such case,
the indenture will provide for a successor indenture trustee to be appointed for
those classes of notes.

     Each of the trustee and the indenture trustee and any of its respective
affiliates may hold securities in its own name or as a pledgee. For the purpose
of meeting the legal requirements of some jurisdictions, the servicer and the
related trustee will have the power to appoint co-trustees or separate trustees
of all or any part of the trust.

     You will find the addresses of the principal offices of the trust, the
trustee and, if applicable, the indenture trustee in your prospectus supplement.

                   DELINQUENCIES, REPOSSESSIONS AND NET LOSSES

     Certain information concerning HDCC's experience relating to delinquencies,
repossessions and net losses with respect to its portfolio of new and used
motorcycles contracts will be set forth in your prospectus supplement. There can
be no assurance that the delinquency, repossession and net loss experience on
the pool of contracts included in any trust will be comparable to prior
experience.

                    WEIGHTED AVERAGE LIVES OF THE SECURITIES

     The weighted average lives of the securities of any trust will be a
function of the weighted average lives of the contracts held by the trust. The
weighted average lives of the contracts will be influenced by the rate at which
the principal balances of the related contracts are paid. The term "WEIGHTED
AVERAGE LIFE" means the average amount of time during which each dollar of
principal of a contract is outstanding.

                                       27
<Page>

     All of the contracts will be prepayable at any time without penalty to the
obligor. If full or partial prepayments are received on the contracts, the
actual weighted average lives of the contracts will be shorter than the
scheduled weighted average lives of the contracts set forth in your prospectus
supplement. Prepayments include optional prepayments by obligors, liquidations
due to default, partial prepayments from rebates of extended warranties and
insurance premiums, as well as receipts of proceeds from physical damage, credit
life and disability insurance policies and debt cancellation agreements.
Prepayment rates are influenced by a variety of economic, social and other
factors, including the fact that an obligor generally may not sell or transfer
the financed motorcycle securing a contract without obtaining the certificate of
title from the servicer.

     We cannot predict the rate of prepayment on the contracts in either stable
or changing interest rate environments. The servicer maintains limited records
of the historical prepayment experience of the contracts included in its
portfolio but is not aware of any publicly available industry statistics for the
entire industry that set forth prepayment experience for receivables similar to
the contracts. The servicer believes that its prepayment experience is
consistent with that generally found in the industry. However, neither the
servicer nor the depositor can assure you that prepayments will conform to
historical experience. The weighted average lives of the securities will also be
impacted to the extent that the depositor or the seller is obligated to
repurchase contracts from a given trust as a result of breaches of particular
representations and warranties relating to the contracts. See "DESCRIPTION OF
THE TRANSFER AND SERVICING AGREEMENTS--SALE AND ASSIGNMENT OF CONTRACTS BY
SELLER" and "--TRANSFER OF CONTRACTS BY THE DEPOSITOR" in this prospectus. The
weighted average lives of the securities will also be impacted to the extent the
servicer is obligated to purchase contracts from a given trust as a result of
breaches of certain covenants relating to the contracts. See "DESCRIPTION OF THE
TRANSFER AND SERVICING AGREEMENTS--SERVICING" in this prospectus. In addition,
early retirement of the securities may be effected by the exercise of the option
of the seller to purchase all of the contracts remaining in the trust when the
aggregate outstanding principal balance of the contracts is less than 10% of the
sum of (i) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the contracts owned by
the trust as of the closing date and (ii) the initial amount on deposit in the
pre-funding account, if any. You will bear all of the reinvestment risk
resulting from the rate of prepayments of the contracts.

     Your prospectus supplement may set forth additional information regarding
the maturity and prepayment considerations applicable to your pool of contracts
and your securities.

                         FACTORS AND TRADING INFORMATION

     The "NOTE FACTOR" or, if applicable, the "CERTIFICATE FACTOR" for any class
of securities issued by an "owner trust" will be a seven-digit decimal
indicating the principal amount of that class of securities on the payment date
as a fraction of the respective principal amount of that class as of the closing
date. The servicer will compute the note factor and, if applicable, the
certificate factor each month. Initially, each factor will be 1.0000000 and
thereafter will decline to reflect reductions in the principal amount of each
class of notes and, if applicable, the reductions in the certificate balance.
The servicer will compute the principal amount by allocating payments in respect
of the contracts to principal and interest using the simple interest method. The
portion of the principal amount of any class of notes and of the certificate
balance for any class of certificates for a given month allocable to a
securityholder can be determined by

                                       28
<Page>

multiplying the original denomination of the holder's security by the related
note factor or certificate factor, as the case may be, for that month.

     The "POOL FACTOR" for any class of certificates issued by a "grantor trust"
will be a seven-digit decimal indicating the principal amount of that class of
certificates on the payment date as a fraction of the respective principal
amount thereof as of the closing date. The servicer will compute the pool factor
each month and will calculate the pool factor by dividing the certificate
balance for that class of certificates as of the close of business on the last
day of the preceding month by the aggregate certificate balance of the
certificates as of the closing date.

     You will receive monthly reports concerning the payments received on the
contracts, the aggregate principal balance of the contracts, the related note
factors, certificate factors, pool factors and various other items of
information pertaining to the trust. Furthermore, the trustee or the indenture
trustee will furnish you with information for tax reporting purposes not later
than on the latest date permitted by law. See "DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSFER AND
SERVICING AGREEMENTS--SERVICING--STATEMENTS TO SECURITYHOLDERS" in this
prospectus.

                     DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES AND INDENTURE

GENERAL

     The issuance of each series of notes will be under an indenture, a form of
which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the
registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. In addition, a copy
of the indenture for a series of notes will be filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission following the issuance of each series of securities. This
summary describes the material terms of each indenture and the notes. This
summary is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, all of the
provisions of the indenture and the notes.

     The notes will be issued in fully registered form only and will represent
the obligations of a separate trust. Notes will be available for purchase by you
in the denominations specified in your prospectus supplement.

     Your prospectus supplement will provide additional information specific to
your notes.

PAYMENTS

     Your prospectus supplement will describe as to your class of notes:

       -  the timing and priority of payments of principal and interest;

       -  the amount and method of determining payments of principal and
          interest;

       -  the priority of the application of the trust's available funds to its
          expenses and payments on its securities; and

       -  the interest rates or the formula for determining the interest rates.

                                       29
<Page>

     Your rights to receive payments may be senior or subordinate to the rights
of holders of other classes of notes. Furthermore, each class of notes may have
a different interest rate, which may be a fixed, variable or adjustable interest
rate or any combination of the foregoing. See "INFORMATION REGARDING THE
SECURITIES--INTEREST RATES" in this prospectus.

     Payments of principal and interest on any class of notes will be made on a
pro rata basis among all noteholders of that class. If the amount of funds
available to make a payment on a class of notes is less than the required
payment, the noteholders will receive their pro rata share of the amount
available for that class.

PRO-RATA PAY/SUBORDINATE NOTES

     One or more classes of notes may be payable on an interest only or
principal only basis. In addition, the notes may include two or more classes
that differ as to timing, sequential order, priority of payment, interest rate
or amount of payments of principal or interest or both. Payments of principal or
interest or both on any class may be made upon the occurrence of specified
events, in accordance with a schedule or formula, or on the basis of collections
from designated assets of the trust. A series may include one or more classes of
notes, as to which accrued interest will not be distributed but rather will be
added to the principal or notional balance of the notes on each payment date.

VARIABLE FUNDING NOTE

     A trust may issue one or more classes of notes having particular maturity
dates and at the same time the trust may issue variable funding notes which
relate to those particular maturity dates. These notes may have a balance that
may decrease based on the amortization of contracts or increase based on
principal collections used to purchase additional contracts.

OPTIONAL PURCHASE OF CONTRACTS AND REDEMPTION OF NOTES

     At its option, the seller may purchase all of the contracts owned by a
trust on any payment date following the date on which the aggregate outstanding
principal balance of the contracts is less than 10% of the sum of (i) the
aggregate outstanding principal balance of the contracts owned by the trust as
of the closing date and (ii) the initial amount on deposit in the pre-funding
account, if any. Except as otherwise described in your prospectus supplement,
the purchase price to be paid in connection with the purchase shall be at least
equal to the sum of:

       -  the unpaid principal balance of the contracts as of that payment date;

       -  accrued but unpaid interest on the securities to that payment date;

       -  unreimbursed servicer advances;

       -  accrued but unpaid fees to the trustee and the indenture trustee; and

       -  accrued but unpaid servicer fees.

                                       30
<Page>

If the seller purchases the contracts, the related notes will be repaid in full
on the payment date on which the purchase occurs. In no event will you or the
trust be subject to any liability to the seller as a result of or arising out of
the seller's optional purchase of the contracts.

VOTING RIGHTS

     Your prospectus supplement may specify certain circumstances under which
the consent, approval, direction or request of the holders of a specified
percentage of the outstanding principal amount of the notes or certain classes
of notes must be obtained, given or made, or under which such holders are
permitted to take an action or give a notice. Your prospectus supplement may
further specify that one class of notes will control the voting with respect to
all classes of notes.

THE INDENTURE

     MODIFICATION OF INDENTURE WITHOUT NOTEHOLDER CONSENT

     The trust and the indenture trustee may, without your consent, enter into
one or more supplemental indentures for any of the following purposes:

       -  to correct or amplify the description of any property at any time
          subject to the lien of the indenture;

       -  to evidence the succession of another person to the trust and the
          assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the trust;

       -  to add to the covenants of the trust or to surrender any right or
          power conferred upon the trust in the indenture;

       -  to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge any property to or
          with the indenture trustee;

       -  to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision in the
          indenture which may be inconsistent with any other provision in the
          indenture, this prospectus or your prospectus supplement;

       -  to evidence and provide for the acceptance of the appointment by a
          successor indenture trustee with respect to the notes and to add to or
          change any of the provisions of the indenture as shall be necessary to
          facilitate the administration of the trusts by more than one indenture
          trustee;

       -  to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions in the indenture to the
          extent necessary to qualify the indenture under the Trust Indenture
          Act; or

       -  to elect into the FASIT provisions of the Code, provided the indenture
          trustee receives an opinion of counsel that such election will not
          adversely affect the noteholders.

                                       31
<Page>

     In addition, if the indenture trustee receives an opinion of counsel that a
modification will not have a material adverse effect on the noteholders, the
trust and the indenture trustee may, without your consent, enter into one or
more supplemental indentures to, among other things, add, modify or eliminate
any provisions of the indenture or modify your rights as a noteholder.

     MODIFICATION OF INDENTURE WITH NOTEHOLDER CONSENT

     With the consent of the holders of more than 50% (or such higher percentage
as specified in your prospectus supplement) of the outstanding principal amount
of the notes or the class or classes of notes described in your prospectus
supplement, the trust and the indenture trustee may modify the indenture and
your rights under it.

     Without the consent of the holder of each outstanding note affected,
however, no modification may:

       -  reduce the principal amount or interest rate or change the due date of
          any payment;

       -  modify the manner of application of collections in respect of the
          contracts to payment on the notes;

       -  impair your right to sue to enforce payment provisions of the
          indenture;

       -  reduce the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the notes
          to amend certain sections of the indenture or certain other related
          agreements;

       -  permit the creation of any lien on collateral under the indenture
          ranking prior to or on a parity with the lien of the indenture;

       -  adversely affect the manner of determining notes outstanding for
          voting purposes;

       -  reduce the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the notes
          needed to sell or liquidate the assets of a trust if the proceeds of
          sale will be insufficient to pay the notes in full; or

       -  modify the provisions of the indenture relating to these types of
          indenture modifications without the consent of all noteholders.

     EVENTS OF DEFAULT; RIGHTS UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT

     Events of default under each indenture will consist of:

       -  a default for five days or more in the payment of interest due on any
          note;

       -  failure to pay the unpaid principal amount of any class of notes when
          due and payable;

                                       32
<Page>

       -  a default in the observance or performance of any covenant or
          agreement of the trust (other than those specifically addressed
          above), which default has a material adverse effect on the noteholders
          and continues for 30 days after written notice thereof is given to the
          trust by the indenture trustee or by holders of at least 25% of the
          aggregate principal amount of the notes or the class or classes of
          notes described in your prospectus supplement;

       -  any representation or warranty made by the trust in the indenture or
          in any certificate delivered pursuant thereto was incorrect as of the
          time made, and continues to be incorrect for a period of 30 days after
          notice thereof is given to the trust by the indenture trustee or by
          holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes
          or the class or classes of notes described in your prospectus
          supplement; or

       -  events of bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or liquidation of the
          trust.

     If an event of default should occur and be continuing with respect to the
notes of a series, other than an event of default caused by an event of
bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or liquidation of the trust, the indenture
trustee or the holders of more than 66 2/3% (or a lesser percentage as specified
in your prospectus supplement, but in no case not less than 50%) of the
aggregate principal amount of the notes or the class or classes of notes
described in your prospectus supplement may declare the principal amount of the
notes to be immediately due and payable. If an event of default caused by an
event of bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or liquidation of the trust should
occur and be continuing with respect to the notes of a series, the principal
amount of the notes will be immediately due and payable. This declaration may be
rescinded by the holders of more than 66 2/3% (or a lesser percentage as
specified in your prospectus, but in no case not less than 50%) of the aggregate
principal amount of the notes or the class or classes of notes described in your
prospectus supplement if:

       -  the trust has made all payments of principal and interest then due on
          the notes (assuming the notes had not been accelerated); and

       -  the trust has paid all amounts then owing to the indenture trustee.

     If the notes of a series have been declared to be due and payable following
an event of default, the indenture trustee may:

       -  institute proceedings to collect amounts due or foreclose on the trust
          assets;

       -  exercise remedies as a secured party; or

       -  sell the trust assets, or elect to have the trust maintain possession
          of the trust assets.

     The indenture trustee, however, may not sell the trust assets following an
event of default other than a default in the payment of principal or a default
for five days or more in the payment of interest, unless:

                                       33
<Page>

       -  the holders of all the outstanding notes consent to the sale;

       -  the proceeds of the sale are sufficient to pay in full the principal
          and accrued interest on all the outstanding notes at the date of the
          sale; or

       -  there has been an event of default for failure to pay principal or
          interest on the notes and the indenture trustee determines that the
          trust assets would not be sufficient on an ongoing basis to make all
          payments on the notes as the payments would have become due if the
          obligations had not been declared due and payable and the indenture
          trustee provides written notice to the rating agencies and obtains the
          consent of the holders of more than 66-2/3% (or a lesser percentage as
          specified in your prospectus supplement, but in no case not less than
          50%) of the aggregate principal amount of the notes or the class or
          classes of notes described in your prospectus supplement.

Following a declaration upon an event of default that the notes are immediately
due and payable, the application of any proceeds of any sale of the trust assets
will be in the order of priority described in the prospectus supplement for your
class of notes.

     If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the indenture trustee will
be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the
indenture at the request or direction of any of the noteholders if the indenture
trustee reasonably believes it will not be adequately indemnified against the
costs, expenses and liabilities which it may incur in complying with that
request. Holders of more than 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes
or the class or classes of notes described in your prospectus supplement will
have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding
or any remedy available to the indenture trustee subject to the preceding
sentence. Additionally, holders of more than 50% of the aggregate principal
amount of the notes or the class or classes of notes described in your
prospectus supplement may, in some cases, waive any default, except a default in
the payment of principal or interest or a default in respect of a covenant or
provision of the indenture that cannot be modified without the waiver or consent
of all of the holders of the outstanding notes.

     No holder of a note will have the right to institute any proceeding with
respect to the indenture, unless:

       -  the holder previously has given to the indenture trustee written
          notice of a continuing event of default;

       -  the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the
          outstanding notes or the class or classes of notes described in your
          prospectus supplement make written request of the indenture trustee to
          institute the proceeding in its own name as indenture trustee;

       -  the holder or holders offer the indenture trustee reasonable
          indemnity;

       -  the indenture trustee has for 60 days failed to institute the
          proceeding; and

                                       34
<Page>

       -  no direction inconsistent with that written request has been given to
          the indenture trustee during the 60-day period by the holders of more
          than 50% of the notes or the class or classes of notes described in
          your prospectus supplement.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, noteholders will have the absolute and
unconditional right to receive payment of principal of and interest on a note
and to institute suit for the enforcement of such payment, which right will not
be impaired without the individual noteholder's consent.

     In addition, the indenture trustee and noteholders, by accepting the notes,
will covenant that they will not at any time institute against the depositor or
the trust any bankruptcy, reorganization or other proceeding under any federal
or state bankruptcy or similar law.

     Neither the trustee, the holder of any certificate, the seller, the
depositor, or any of their respective owners, beneficiaries, agents, officers,
directors, employees, affiliates, successors or assigns will be personally
liable for the payment of the notes or for any agreement or covenant of the
trust contained in the indenture.

     COVENANTS

     Each indenture will provide that the trust may not consolidate with or
merge into any other entity, unless:

       -  the entity formed by or surviving the consolidation or merger is
          organized under the laws of the United States, any state or the
          District of Columbia;

       -  the entity expressly assumes the trust's obligation to make due and
          punctual payments upon the notes and the performance or observance of
          every agreement and covenant of the trust under the indenture;

       -  no event of default shall have occurred and be continuing immediately
          after the merger or consolidation;

       -  the rating agencies rating the notes (and, if so provided in the
          indenture, the certificates) advise the indenture trustee that the
          ratings then in effect would not be reduced or withdrawn as a result
          of the merger or consolidation;

       -  the indenture trustee has received an opinion of counsel to the effect
          that the consolidation or merger would have no material adverse tax
          consequence to the trust or to any noteholder or certificateholder;

       -  any action as is necessary to maintain the lien and security interest
          of the indenture trustee shall have been taken; and

       -  the trust or the person, if other than the trust, formed by or
          surviving the consolidation or merger has a net worth, immediately
          after the consolidation or

                                       35
<Page>

          merger, that is (a) greater than zero and (b) not less than the net
          worth of the trust immediately prior to giving effect to the
          consolidation or merger.

     Each indenture will provide that the trust will not, among other things:

       -  except as expressly permitted by the related indenture, trust
          agreement, sale and servicing agreement or pooling and service
          agreement, transfer any of the assets of the trust;

       -  claim any credit on or make any deduction from, the principal and
          interest payable in respect of the related notes, other than amounts
          withheld under the United States Bankruptcy Code or applicable state
          law, or assert any claim against any present or former holder of notes
          because of the payment of taxes levied or assessed upon the trust;

       -  dissolve or liquidate in whole or in part;

       -  permit the validity or effectiveness of the indenture to be impaired
          or permit the release of any person from any covenants or obligations
          relating to the notes under the indenture except as expressly
          permitted in the indenture; or

       -  except as expressly permitted in the indenture, permit any lien or
          claim to burden any assets of the trust.

     Each indenture will provide that each trust may engage in only those
activities specified above under "THE TRUSTS." Each trust will be prohibited
from incurring, assuming or guaranteeing any indebtedness other than
indebtedness incurred under the notes and the indenture or otherwise in
accordance with the related indenture, trust agreement and sale and servicing
agreement.

     ANNUAL COMPLIANCE STATEMENT

     Each trust will be required to file annually with the applicable indenture
trustee a written statement as to the fulfillment of its obligations under the
indenture.

     INDENTURE TRUSTEE'S ANNUAL REPORT

     Each indenture trustee will be required to mail each year to all
noteholders of the related series a brief report relating to:

       -  its eligibility and qualification to continue as indenture trustee
          under the related indenture;

       -  amounts, if any, advanced by it under the indenture;

       -  the amount, interest rate and maturity date of certain indebtedness
          owing by the trust to the indenture trustee in its individual
          capacity;

                                       36
<Page>

       -  the property and funds physically held by the indenture trustee; and

       -  any action taken by it that materially affects the notes and that has
          not been previously reported.

     SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

     The discharge of an indenture will occur with respect to the assets
securing the notes of a series upon the delivery to the related indenture
trustee for cancellation of all the notes or, with certain limitations, upon
deposit with the indenture trustee of funds sufficient for the payment in full
of all of the notes and payment of all amounts and obligations, if any, which
the trust owes to the noteholders or indenture trustee on behalf of the
noteholders.

     TRUST ACCOUNTS

     Under each indenture, if the applicable indenture trustee has a rating of
A-1+/P-1 by Standard & Poor's Rating Services and Moody's Investors Service,
Inc., the indenture trustee will establish and maintain segregated bank accounts
for the trust. If the applicable indenture trustee has a rating lower than
A-1+/P-1, the indenture trustee will establish and maintain segregated trust
accounts or accounts in a qualified institution. These accounts will include,
among others, a "COLLECTION ACCOUNT" and a "DISTRIBUTION ACCOUNT." The trust
accounts may, as described in the prospectus supplement for your notes, also
include a cash collateral or reserve fund account as credit enhancement.

     "QUALIFIED INSTITUTION" means the corporate trust department of the
indenture trustee or any other depositary institution:

       -  organized under the laws of the United States or any state or any
          domestic branch of a foreign bank;

       -  the deposits of which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
          Corporation; and

       -  which has, or whose parent corporation has, short-term or long-term
          debt ratings acceptable to Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and
          Standard & Poor's Ratings Services.

     The indenture trustee will invest funds in the trust accounts at the
direction of the servicer. All investments will be generally limited to
investments acceptable to the rating agencies rating the notes as being
consistent with the ratings of those notes that will mature not later than the
business day preceding the applicable payment date or any later date approved by
the rating agencies. If the rating agencies permit the investment of funds on
deposit in a cash collateral or reserve fund account in investments that mature
beyond a payment date, the amount of cash available in the cash collateral or
reserve fund account may be less than the amount required to be withdrawn from
that trust account to cover shortfalls in collections on the contracts and a
temporary shortfall in the amounts paid to the noteholders may result.

                                       37

Investment earnings on funds deposited in the trust accounts will be paid to the
person described in your prospectus supplement.

                         DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES

GENERAL

     The issuance of each series of certificates will be under the terms of a
trust agreement or a pooling and servicing agreement, a form of each of which
has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the
registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. In addition, a copy
of the trust agreement or the pooling and servicing agreement for a series of
certificates will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission following
the issuance of the certificates. This summary describes the material terms of
the certificates issued by each trust. This summary is subject to, and qualified
in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the certificates, the
trust agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable.

     The certificates of each series will be issued in fully registered form
only and will represent an ownership interest in the trust. Certificates will be
available for purchase by you in the denominations specified in your prospectus
supplement.

     Your prospectus supplement will provide additional information specific to
your certificates.

DISTRIBUTIONS

     Your prospectus supplement will describe as to your class of certificates:

       -  the timing and priority of distributions on account of principal and
          interest;

       -  the amount and method of determining distributions on account of
          principal and interest;

       -  the priority of the application of the trust's available funds to its
          expenses and distributions on its securities;

       -  allocation of losses on the contracts among the classes of
          certificates; and

       -  the interest rates or the formula for determining the interest rates.

     Your rights to receive distributions may be senior or subordinate to
holders of other classes of certificates. Furthermore, each class of
certificates may have a different interest rate, which may be a fixed, variable
or adjustable interest rate or any combination of the foregoing. See
"INFORMATION REGARDING THE SECURITIES--INTEREST RATES" in this prospectus.

     Distributions of principal and interest with respect to any class of
certificates will be made on a pro rata basis among all certificateholders of
that class. If the amount of funds available to make a distribution with respect
to a class of certificates is less than the required payment, the
certificateholders will receive their pro rata share of the amount available for
that class.

                                       38
<Page>

PRO-RATA PAY/SUBORDINATE CERTIFICATES

     One or more classes of certificates may be payable on an interest only or
principal only basis. In addition, the certificates may include two or more
classes that differ as to timing, sequential order, priority of payment,
interest rate or amount of distributions of principal or interest or both.
Distributions of principal or interest or both on any class may be made upon the
occurrence of specified events, in accordance with a schedule or formula, or on
the basis of collections from designated assets of the trust. A series may
include one or more classes of certificates, as to which accrued interest will
not be distributed but rather will be added to the principal or notional balance
of the certificates on each payment date.

OPTIONAL PURCHASE OF CONTRACTS AND PREPAYMENT OF CERTIFICATES

     At its option, the seller may purchase all of the contracts owned by a
trust on any payment date following the date on which the aggregate outstanding
principal balance of the contracts is less than 10% of the sum of (i) the
aggregate outstanding principal balance of the contracts owned by the trust as
of the closing date and (ii) the initial amount on deposit in the pre-funding
account, if any. Except as otherwise described in your prospectus supplement,
the purchase price to be paid in connection with the purchase shall be at least
equal to the sum of:

       -  the unpaid principal balance of the contracts as of that payment date;

       -  accrued but unpaid interest on the certificates to the payment date;

       -  unreimbursed servicer advances;

       -  accrued but unpaid fees to the trustee; and

       -  accrued but unpaid servicer fees.

If the seller purchases the contracts, the related certificates will be paid in
full on the payment date on which the purchase occurs. In no event will you or
the trust be subject to any liability to the seller as a result of or arising
out of the seller's optional purchase of the contracts.

THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT

     MODIFICATION OF THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT WITHOUT
CERTIFICATEHOLDER CONSENT

     In the case of a "grantor trust", the depositor and the trustee may,
without your consent, correct or supplement any provision in the pooling and
servicing agreement that is ambiguous or inconsistent with any other provision
of the pooling and servicing agreement. In addition, if the trustee receives an
opinion of counsel that a modification will not have a material adverse effect
on the certificateholders, the depositor and the trustee may, without your
consent, enter into one or more supplements to the pooling and servicing
agreement to, among other things, add, modify or eliminate any provisions of the
pooling and servicing agreement or modify your rights as a certificateholder.

                                       39
<Page>

     MODIFICATION OF POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT WITH CERTIFICATEHOLDER
CONSENT

     With the consent of the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding
principal amount of the certificates or the class or classes of certificates
described in your prospectus supplement, the depositor and the trustee may
modify the pooling and servicing agreement and your rights under it.

     Without the consent of the holder of each outstanding certificate affected,
however, no modification may:

       -  reduce the principal amount or pass-through rate or change the due
          date of any distribution;

       -  modify the manner of application of collections in respect of the
          contracts to distributions in respect of the certificates;

       -  impair your right to sue to enforce payment provisions of the pooling
          and servicing agreement;

       -  reduce the percentage of the aggregate certificate balance of the
          certificates needed for consents of certificateholders;

       -  permit the creation of any lien on collateral under the pooling and
          servicing agreement ranking prior to or on a parity with the lien of
          the pooling and servicing agreement;

       -  adversely affect the manner of determining certificates outstanding
          for voting purposes; or

       -  modify the provisions of the pooling and servicing agreement relating
          to these types of pooling and servicing agreement modifications
          without the consent of all certificateholders.

TRUST ACCOUNTS

     Under the pooling and servicing agreement or trust agreement, if the
applicable trustee has a rating of A-1+/P-1 by Standard & Poor's Rating Services
and Moody's Investors Service, Inc., the trustee will establish and maintain
segregated bank accounts for the trust. If the applicable trustee has a rating
lower than A-1+/P-1, the trustee will establish and maintain segregated trust
accounts or accounts in a qualified institution. These accounts will include,
among others, a "COLLECTION ACCOUNT".

     "QUALIFIED INSTITUTION" means the corporate trust department of the trustee
or any other depositary institution:

          -       organized under the laws of the United States or any state or
                  any domestic branch of a foreign bank;

                                       40
<Page>

          -       the deposits of which are insured by the Federal Deposit
                  Insurance Corporation; and

          -       which has, or whose parent corporation has, short-term or
                  long-term debt ratings acceptable to Moody's Investors
                  Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor's Ratings Services.

The trustee will invest funds in the trust accounts at the direction of the
servicer. All investments will be generally limited to investments acceptable to
the rating agencies rating the certificates as being consistent with the ratings
of those certificates that will mature not later than the business day preceding
the applicable payment date or any later date approved by the rating agencies.

     See "DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSFER AND SERVICING AGREEMENTS" in this
prospectus for summaries of the material terms of the trust agreements, sale and
servicing agreements and pooling and servicing agreements pursuant to which
certificates will be issued.

                      INFORMATION REGARDING THE SECURITIES

INTEREST RATES

     A class of securities may bear interest at a fixed, variable or adjustable
rate per annum, as more fully described below and in your prospectus supplement.

     FIXED RATE SECURITIES. Each class of fixed rate securities will bear
interest at the applicable per annum interest rate or pass through rate,
specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. Interest on each class of
fixed rate securities will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting
of twelve 30-day months or on such other day count basis as is specified in your
prospectus supplement.

     FLOATING RATE SECURITIES. Each class of floating rate securities will bear
interest during each applicable interest period at a rate per annum determined
by reference to a base rate, plus or minus a specified spread, if any, or
multiplied by the spread multiplier, if any, as specified in the applicable
prospectus supplement. The "SPREAD" is a number of basis points to be added to
or subtracted from the related base rate. The "SPREAD MULTIPLIER" is a
percentage of the related base rate by which that base rate will be multiplied
to determine the applicable interest rate. Your prospectus supplement will
designate one of the following base rates as applicable to a floating rate
security:

          -  London interbank offered rate;

          -  commercial paper rates;

          -  Treasury rate;

          -  federal funds rate;

          -  negotiable certificates of deposit rate; or

                                       41
<Page>

          -  any other base rate that is set forth in your prospectus
             supplement.

     Your prospectus supplement will specify whether the interest rate will be
reset daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semiannually, annually or some other
specified period and the dates on which that interest rate will be reset. If the
reset date does not fall on a business day, then the reset date will be
postponed to the next succeeding business day; except that with respect to
securities having a base rate based on the London interbank offered rate, if the
reset date falls in the next succeeding calendar month, then the reset date will
be the immediately preceding business day.

     Interest on each class of floating rate security will accrue on an
Actual/360 basis, an Actual/Actual basis, or a 30/360 basis. For floating rate
securities calculated on an Actual/360 basis and Actual/Actual basis, accrued
interest for each interest period will be calculated by multiplying:

     1.   the face amount of that floating rate security;

     2.   the applicable interest rate; and

     3.   the actual number of days in the related interest period, and dividing
          the resulting product by 360 or the actual number of days in the
          related year, as applicable.

     For floating rate securities calculated on a 30/360 basis, accrued interest
for an interest period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months, irrespective of how many days are actually
in that interest period.

     Floating rate securities may also have either or both of the following:

          -  a maximum limitation, or ceiling, on the rate at which interest may
             accrue during any interest period; and

          -  a minimum limitation, or floor, on the rate at which interest may
             accrue during any interest period.

The applicable interest rate will not exceed the maximum rate permitted by
applicable law.

     Each trust issuing floating rate securities will appoint a calculation
agent to calculate interest rates on each class of floating rate securities.
Your prospectus supplement will set forth the identity of the calculation agent,
which may be the related trustee or indenture trustee with respect to that
series. All determinations of interest by the calculation agent shall, in the
absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the
holders of floating rate securities of a given class. All percentages resulting
from any calculation on floating rate securities will be rounded to the nearest
one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one millionths of a
percentage point rounded upwards, and all dollar amounts used in or resulting
from that calculation on floating rate securities will be rounded to the nearest
cent.

     CD RATE SECURITIES. The base rate for any securities having a base rate
based on a CD rate for each reset date shall be either:

                                       42

             electronic source used for the purpose of displaying such rate; or

          -  if by 3:00 p.m., New York City time on that business day, that rate
             is not yet published in either H.15(519) or H.15 Daily Update or

             United States money market banks with a remaining maturity closest
             to the index maturity designated in the applicable prospectus

             paper having the index maturity specified in your prospectus
             supplement, as published in H.15(519) under the heading "Commercial
             Paper--Nonfinancial" as of the second business day prior to the
             reset date; or

          -  if that rate is not published prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City
             time on that business day, the money market yield on the second
             business day prior to the reset date of the rate for commercial
             paper of the specified index maturity as published in H.15 Daily
             Update or such other recognized electronic source used for the
             purpose of displaying such rate under the heading "Commercial

             bonds are rated "AA" or the equivalent by a nationally recognized
             rating agency.

     "MONEY MARKET YIELD" means a yield calculated in accordance with the
following formula:

                                            D X 360
                  Money Market Yield =   -------------  X 100
                                         360 - (D X M)

where "D" refers to the applicable per annum rate for commercial paper quoted on
a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal, and "M" refers to the actual

          calculation agent will determine the offered rates for deposits in
          U.S. dollars for the period of the index maturity specified in the
          applicable prospectus supplement, as either

<Page>

          - if "LIBOR Bloomberg" is specified in the applicable prospectus
            supplement, the arithmetic mean of the offered rates for deposits
            in the index currency having the index maturity designated in the
            applicable prospectus supplement, commencing on the reset date,
            that appear on the page specified in the applicable prospectus
            supplement as of 11:00 a.m. London time, on the second London
            business day prior to the reset date, if at least two offered
            rates appear (unless, described above, only a single rate is
            required) on that page, or

          - if "LIBOR Telerate" is specified in the applicable prospectus

          appear on the designated page or if LIBOR Telerate is specified and no
          rate appears on the designated page, the calculation agent will
          request the principal London offices of each of four major banks in
          the London interbank market to provide the calculation agent with its
          offered quotations for deposits in the index currency for the period
          of the index maturity designated in the applicable prospectus
          supplement, commencing on the reset date, to prime banks in the London

            the arithmetic mean of those quotations.

          - If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR will be the
            arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m.,
            in the applicable principal financial center, on the second
            London business day prior to the reset date by three major banks
            in that principal financial center for loans in the index
            currency to leading European banks, having the index maturity
            designated in the applicable prospectus supplement and in a
            principal amount that is representative for a single transaction
            in that index currency in that market at that time; provided,
            however, that if the banks so selected by the calculation agent
            are not quoting offered rates as mentioned in this sentence,
            LIBOR will be LIBOR in effect on the reset date.

     "INDEX CURRENCY" means the currency specified in the applicable prospectus
supplement as the currency for which LIBOR shall be calculated. If no currency
is specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the index currency shall
be U.S. dollars.

                                       45

     "PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL CENTER" will generally be the capital city of the
country of the specified index currency, except that with respect to U.S.
dollars, Deutsche marks, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, Italian lira,
Swiss francs, Dutch guilders and Euros, the principal financial center shall be
New York, Frankfurt, Toronto, Sydney, Milan, Zurich, Amsterdam and London,
respectively.

          TREASURY RATE SECURITIES. The base rate for any securities having a
base rate based on the Treasury rate for each reset date shall be either:

          -  the rate for the most recent auction of Treasury bills having the
             index maturity specified in the applicable prospectus supplement,
             as that rate shall be set forth under the heading "Investment Rate"
             on the display on Bridge Telerate, Inc. Page 56 or Bridge Telerate,
             Inc. Page 57 (or such other page as may replace either of those
             pages opposite the index maturity) or,

          -  if Treasury bills of the index maturity have been auctioned but
             that rate for those Treasury bills does not appear on either Bridge
             Telerate, Inc. Page 56 or Bridge Telerate, Inc. Page 57 prior to
             3:00 p.m., New York City time, the auction average rate for those
             Treasury bills announced by the United States Department of the
             Treasury, or

          -  if the results of the auction of Treasury bills having the
             specified index maturity are not announced as provided above by
             3:00 p.m., New York City time, or if that auction is not held in a
             particular week, the rate published in H.15(519) under the heading
             "U.S. Government Securities--Treasury bills--Secondary market", or

          -  if that rate does not appear on H.15(519) by 3:00 p.m., New York
             City time, the rate set forth in H.15 Daily Update or such other
             recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying
             that rate under the heading "U.S. Government Securities--Treasury
             bills--Secondary market," or

          -  if those results are not published in H.15 Daily Update or another
             recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying
             such rate, by 3:00 p.m. New York City time, the arithmetic mean of
             the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New
             York City time, on that date, of three leading primary United
             States government securities dealers selected by the calculation
             agent for the issue of Treasury bills with a remaining maturity
             closest to the specified index maturity.

     INDEXED SECURITIES. Any class of securities may consist of securities in
which the amounts payable on the final scheduled payment date and/or the
interest payable on any payment date is determined by reference to a measure
which will be related to the exchange rates of one or more currencies or
composite currencies or the price of commodities or stocks, on dates as
specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. Holders of indexed securities
may receive a principal amount on the related final scheduled payment date that
is greater than or less than the face amount of the indexed securities depending
upon the relative value on the related final

                                       46
<Page>

payment date of the specified indexed item. The applicable prospectus supplement
will contain information as to the method for determining the principal amount
payable on the related final scheduled payment date, if any, and, where
applicable, historical information with respect to the specific indexed item or
items and special tax considerations associated with an investment in indexed
securities. For purposes of determining the rights of a holder of a security
indexed as to principal in respect of voting for or against amendments to the
related trust agreement, indenture, or other related agreements, as the case may
be, and modifications and the waiver of rights under those agreements, the
principal amount of that indexed security shall be deemed to be the face amount
thereof upon issuance less any payments allocated to principal of that indexed
security.

     If the principal amount of an indexed security is based on an index
calculated or announced by a third party and that third party either suspends
the calculation or announcement of that index or changes the basis upon which
that index is calculated, then that index shall be calculated by an independent
calculation agent named in the applicable prospectus supplement on the same
basis, and subject to the same conditions and controls, as applied to the
original third party. If for any reason that index cannot be calculated on the
same basis and subject to the same conditions and controls as applied to the
original third party, then the principal amount of that indexed security shall
be calculated in the manner set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Any determination of that independent calculation agent shall, in the absence of
manifest error, be binding on all parties.

     The applicable prospectus supplement will describe whether the principal
amount of the related indexed security, if any, that would be payable upon
repayment prior to the applicable final scheduled payment date will be the face
amount of that indexed security, the principal amount of that indexed security
at the time of repayment or another amount described in that prospectus
supplement.

CREDIT AND CASH FLOW ENHANCEMENT

     The amounts and types of credit and cash flow enhancement arrangements and
the applicable provider, if any, will be set forth in the applicable prospectus
supplement. This credit or cash flow enhancement may be in one or more of the
following forms:

       -  subordination of one or more classes of securities;

       -  spread account;

       -  reserve fund;

       -  over-collateralization;

       -  letter of credit;

       -  credit or liquidity facility;

       -  financial guaranty insurance policy;

       -  surety bond;

                                       47
<Page>

       -  guaranteed investment contract or other interest rate protection
          agreement;

       -  repurchase obligation;

       -  yield supplement agreement;

       -  swap or other interest rate protection agreement;

       -  other agreements with respect to third party payments or other
          support; or

       -  cash deposit or other arrangement that may be described in your
          prospectus supplement.

     Credit and cash flow enhancement is intended to enhance the likelihood that
you will receive the full amount of principal and interest due on your
securities and to decrease the likelihood that that you will experience losses.
The enhancement for a class or series of securities will not provide protection
against all risks of loss and will not guarantee repayment of the entire
principal of and interest on those securities. If losses occur which exceed the
amount covered by any credit or cash flow enhancement or which are not covered
by any credit or cash flow enhancement, you will bear your allocable share of
deficiencies, as described in your prospectus supplement. In addition, if a form
of enhancement covers more than one class or series of securities, you will be
subject to the risk that the enhancement will be exhausted by the claims of
securityholders of other classes or series.

     If so provided in the prospectus supplement, the depositor or the trust may
replace the credit or cash flow enhancement for any class of securities with
another form of credit or cash flow enhancement without the consent of the
securityholders, provided that the rating agencies rating that class of
securities confirm that that substitution will not result in the reduction or
withdrawal of the rating of that class of securities.

     RESERVE FUND

     The depositor or a third party may establish for a series or class of
securities an account or reserve fund, which will be maintained with a
collateral agent or the related trustee or indenture trustee. The reserve fund
will be funded by an initial deposit by the depositor or a third party on the
closing date in the amount set forth in your prospectus supplement and, if the
related trust has a pre-funding account, will also be funded on each date that
the trust acquires subsequent contracts from the depositor to the extent
described in the applicable prospectus supplement. The amount on deposit in the
reserve fund will be increased on each payment date thereafter up to the reserve
fund required amount by the deposit in the reserve fund of the amount of
collections on the related contracts available therefor as described in the
prospectus supplement.

     Your prospectus supplement will describe the circumstances and manner under
which payments may be made out of the reserve fund, either to make payments or
distributions to you or to the servicer or a third party. Monies on deposit in
the reserve fund may be invested in investments acceptable to the rating
agencies rating the securities as being consistent with the

                                       48
<Page>

ratings of those securities under the circumstances and in the manner described
in the related sale and servicing agreement, pooling and servicing agreement or
indenture. Earnings on investment of funds in the reserve fund in eligible
investments will be paid to the person described in your prospectus supplement
under the circumstances described in your prospectus supplement on each payment
date. Any monies remaining on deposit in the reserve fund upon termination of
the trust also will be released to the depositor or its assignee.

BOOK-ENTRY REGISTRATION

     Each class of securities offered by this prospectus will be represented by
one or more certificates registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The
Depository Trust Company. Unless your prospectus supplement states otherwise,
you may hold your securities through DTC in the United States, or Clearstream,
Luxembourg or the Euroclear System in Europe, if you are a participant of those
systems, or indirectly through organizations that are participants in those
systems.

     DTC is a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws of the
State of New York, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing
corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a
"clearing agency" registered under to Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934. DTC was created to hold securities for its direct participants and to
facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between its
direct participants through electronic book-entries, thereby eliminating the
need for physical movement of certificates. DTC's direct participants include:

          -    the underwriters offering the securities to you;

          -    securities brokers and dealers;

          -    banks;

          -    trust companies; and

          -    clearing corporations, and may include other organizations.

     Indirect access to the DTC system is also available to others such as
banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a
custodial relationship with a direct participant, either directly or indirectly.

     To facilitate subsequent transfers, DTC will register all deposited
securities in the name of DTC's nominee, Cede & Co. DTC has no knowledge of the
actual holders of the securities; DTC's records only identify its direct
participants to whose accounts the securities are credited, which may or may not
be the securityholders. DTC's direct and indirect participants will remain
responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

     You have no entitlement to receive a certificate representing your interest
in a class of securities. As long as the securities are registered in the name
of Cede & Co., any action to be taken by you or any other holders will be taken
by DTC upon instructions from DTC's participants. All distributions, notices,
reports and statements to you will be delivered to Cede &

                                       49
<Page>

Co., as the registered holder of the securities, for distribution to you in
compliance with DTC procedures.

     You will receive all payments of principal and interest on the securities
through direct participants or indirect participants. DTC will forward the
payments to its direct participants which will forward them to the indirect
participants or securityholders. Under a book-entry format, you may experience
some delay in their receipt of payments, since payments will be forwarded to
Cede & Co. as nominee of DTC. The trustee or indenture trustee will not
recognize you as a holder of securities under the trust agreement, pooling and
servicing agreement or indenture. You may exercise the rights as a holders of
securities only indirectly through DTC and its direct participants and indirect
participants. Because DTC can act only on behalf of direct participants, who in
turn act on behalf of indirect participants, and on behalf of banks, trust
companies and other persons approved by it, there may be limits on your ability
to pledge the securities to persons or entities that do not participate in the
DTC system, or to otherwise act with respect to securities, due to the absence
of physical certificates for the securities.

     Arrangements among the various parties govern conveyance of notices and
other communications by:

          -  DTC to direct participants;

          -  by direct participants to indirect participants; and

          -  by direct participants and indirect participant to holders, subject
             to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect
             from time to time.

     Standing instructions and customary practices govern payments by DTC
participants to you, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of
customers in bearer form or registered in "street name" and will be the
responsibility of the DTC participant and not of DTC, the indenture trustee, the
trustee, the depositor or the seller, subject to any statutory or regulatory
requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment or distribution of
principal and interest to DTC is the responsibility of the indenture trustee or
trustee, disbursement of the payments or distributions to direct participants
shall be the responsibility of DTC and disbursement of payments to you shall be
the responsibility of the direct participants and the indirect participants.

     Purchases of securities under the DTC system must be made by or through
direct participants, which will receive a credit for the securities on DTC's
records. The ownership interest of each actual holder is in turn to be recorded
on the direct participants' and indirect participants' records. You will not
receive written confirmation from DTC of your purchase, but you are expected to
receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as
periodic statements of your holdings, from the direct participant or indirect
participant through which you entered into the transaction. Entries made on the
books of DTC's participants acting on behalf of you evidence transfers of
ownership interests in the securities.

     DTC has advised the depositor that it will take any action permitted to be
taken by a holder of securities only at the direction of one or more direct
participants to whose accounts

                                       50
<Page>

with DTC the securities are credited. Additionally, DTC has advised the
depositor that to the extent that the pooling and servicing agreement, the trust
agreement or the indenture, as applicable, requires that any action may be taken
only by holders representing a specified percentage of the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of the securities, DTC will take the action only at the
direction of and on behalf of direct participants, whose holdings include
undivided interests that satisfy the specified percentage.

     DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depositary with
respect to any class of securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to
the trustee or the indenture trustee, as applicable. Under these circumstances,
in the event that a successor securities depositary is not obtained, fully
registered, certificated securities are required to be printed and delivered. A
trust may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers
through DTC or a successor securities depositary. In that event, fully
registered, certificated securities will be delivered to you. See "--ISSUANCE OF
DEFINITIVE SECURITIES."

     The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC's book-entry system
are from sources that the depositor believes to be reliable, but the depositor
does not take any responsibility for the accuracy of this information.

     Clearstream and Euroclear will hold omnibus positions on behalf of the
participants in the Clearstream and Euroclear systems, respectively, through
customers' securities accounts in Clearstream's and Euroclear's names on the
books of their respective depositaries which in turn will hold these positions
in customers' securities accounts in the depositaries' names on the books of
DTC.

     Clearstream is incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg as a professional
depositary. Clearstream holds securities for its participants and facilitates
the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between its participants
through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its participants, thereby
eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates.

     Indirect access to Clearstream is also available to others, such as banks,
brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial
relationship with a Clearstream participant, either directly or indirectly.

     Euroclear was created in 1968 to hold securities for participants of
Euroclear and to clear and settle transactions between Euroclear's participants
through simultaneous electronic book entry delivery against payment, thereby
eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates and any risk from
lack of simultaneous transfers of securities and cash. The Brussels, Belgium
office of Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York operates Euroclear, under
contract with Euroclear Clearance Systems S.C., a Belgian cooperative
corporation. Euroclear's operator conducts all operations and all Euroclear
securities clearance accounts and Euroclear cash accounts are accounts with
Euroclear's operator. Euroclear Clearance Systems S.C. establishes policy for
Euroclear on behalf of Euroclear's participants, including banks, securities
brokers and dealers, and other professional financial intermediaries.

     Indirect access to Euroclear is also available to other firms that clear
through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Euroclear participant,
either directly or indirectly.

                                       51
<Page>

     The Brussels, Belgium office of Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York
is the Belgian branch of a New York banking corporation which is a member bank
of the Federal Reserve System. As such, the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System and the New York Banking Department, as well as the Belgian
Banking Commission, regulates and examines it.

     Euroclear holds all securities on a fungible basis without attribution of
specific certificates to specific securities clearance accounts. The Euroclear
operator acts under the Euroclear terms and conditions only on behalf of
Euroclear's participants, and has no record of or relationship with persons
holding through Euroclear's participants.

     Transfers between direct participants will comply with DTC rules. Transfers
between Clearstream's participants and Euroclear's participants will comply with
their rules and operating procedures.

     DTC will effect, under DTC rules, cross-market transfers between persons
holding directly or indirectly through DTC in the United States, on the one
hand, and directly or indirectly through Clearstream or Euroclear, on the other,
through the relevant European international clearing system through its
depository; however, these cross-market transactions will require delivery of
instructions to the relevant European international clearing system by the
counterparty in this system as required by its rules and procedures and within
its established deadlines, European time. The relevant European international
clearing system will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirement,
deliver instructions to its depositary to take action to effect final settlement
on its behalf by delivering or receiving securities in DTC, and making or
receiving payment using its normal procedures for same-day funds settlement
applicable to DTC. Clearstream participants and Euroclear participants may not
deliver instructions directly to the depositories.

     Because of time-zone differences, credits of securities in Clearstream or
Euroclear as a result of a transaction with a DTC participant will be made
during the subsequent securities settlement processing day, dated the business
day following the DTC settlement date, and the credits or any transactions in
the securities settled during the processing day will be reported to the
relevant Clearstream participant or Euroclear participant on that business day.
Cash received in Clearstream or Euroclear as a result of sales of securities by
or through a Clearstream participant or a Euroclear participant to a DTC
participant will be received with value on the DTC settlement date but will be
available in the relevant Clearstream or Euroclear cash account only as of the
business day following settlement in DTC.

     Although DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear have agreed to the foregoing
procedures in order to facilitate transfers of securities among participants of
DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear, they are under no obligation to perform or
continue to perform these procedures and these procedures may be discontinued at
any time.

     Except as required by law, none of the seller, the servicer, the depositor,
the trustee or the indenture trustee will have any liability for any aspect of
the records relating to, actions taken or implemented by, or payments made on
account of, beneficial ownership interests in the securities

                                       52
<Page>

held through DTC, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records or
actions relating to beneficial ownership interests.

     ISSUANCE OF DEFINITIVE SECURITIES

     The trust will issue the notes, if any, and certificates in fully
registered, definitive form to beneficial owners or their nominees rather than
to DTC or its nominee, only if:

          (1)     DTC is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its
     responsibilities as depository with respect to the securities, and the
     trustee or the indenture trustee is unable to locate a qualified successor;

          (2)     The administrator of the trust or the trustee, as applicable,
     at its option, elects to terminate the book-entry system through DTC; or

          (3)     After the occurrence of an event of default under the
     indenture or a servicer default under the sale and servicing agreement or
     the pooling and servicing agreement, holders representing more than 50% of
     the notes or the certificates, as the case may be, of that series, acting
     together as a single class, advise the applicable indenture trustee or
     trustee through DTC in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system
     through DTC with respect to those notes or certificates is no longer in the
     best interests of the holders of those securities.

     Upon the occurrence of any of the three events described immediately above,
the applicable indenture trustee or trustee must notify all beneficial owners
for each class of securities held through DTC of the availability of securities
in fully registered, definitive form. Upon surrender by DTC of the global note
representing the securities and instructions for reregistration, the indenture
trustee or trustee will issue these fully registered, definitive securities, and
the indenture trustee or trustee will recognize the holders of fully registered,
definitive securities.

     Additionally, upon the occurrence of any event described above, the
indenture trustee or trustee will distribute principal of and interest on the
securities directly to you as required by the indenture, trust agreement or
pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable. Distributions will be made by
check, mailed to your address as it appears on the register maintained by the
applicable trustee or indenture trustee. Upon at least five days' notice to
holders of a class of securities, however, the indenture trustee or trustee will
make the final payment on any security only upon presentation and surrender of
the security at the office or agency specified in the notice of final
distribution to the securityholders. The indenture trustee or trustee will make
the final payment in this manner whether the securities are in book-entry form
or definitive form.

     You may transfer any fully registered, definitive security of any class at
the offices of the indenture trustee or trustee or its agent in New York, New
York, which the indenture trustee or trustee shall designate on or prior to the
issuance of any fully registered, definitive securities with respect to that
class. There is no service charge for any registration of transfer or exchange,
but the indenture trustee or trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection with the
transfer or exchange.

              DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSFER AND SERVICING AGREEMENTS

     This section summarizes the material terms of the following agreements:

       -  the transfer and sale agreement pursuant to which the seller will sell
          and assign all right, title and interest in the pool of contracts and
          the related property to the depositor;

       -  the sale and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement
          pursuant to which the depositor will deposit the pool of contracts and
          the related property to the trust and the servicer will agree to
          service those contracts;

       -  the trust agreement, or in the case of a grantor trust, the pooling
          and servicing agreement, pursuant to which a trust will be created and
          certificates will be issued; and

       -  the administration agreement pursuant to which Harley-Davidson Credit
          Corp. will undertake specified administrative duties with respect to a
          trust that issues notes.

     Forms of these documents, which we collectively refer to as the "TRANSFER
AND SERVICING AGREEMENTS", have been filed as exhibits to the registration
statement of which this prospectus is a part. In addition, a copy of the
relevant transfer and servicing agreements relating to a series of securities
will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission following the sale of
those securities. This summary describes the material terms of each transfer and
servicing agreement. This summary is subject to, and qualified in its entirety
by reference to, all the provisions of the transfer and servicing agreements
relating to a particular series. You should read the forms of the transfer and
servicing agreements filed as noted above.

SALE AND ASSIGNMENT OF CONTRACTS BY SELLER

     Harley-Davidson Credit Corp. will be the seller of the contracts and the
related property to the depositor for deposit into the trust. The seller will
acquire (i) the contracts originated by the motorcycle dealers throughout the
United States and, in certain instances, Canada, pursuant to dealer agreements
and (ii) the contracts originated by Eaglemark Savings Bank pursuant to a
participation agreement.

     On or before the applicable closing date, the seller will sell to the
depositor under a transfer and sale agreement all of its interest in the
following:

       -  the contracts and the right to receive all scheduled payments and
          prepayments received on the contracts on or after the cut-off date,
          but excluding any scheduled payments due on or after, but received
          prior to, the cut-off date;

       -  security interests in the financed motorcycles securing the contracts
          and any related property;

                                       54
<Page>

       -  the rights to proceeds from claims on theft, physical damage, credit
          life and disability insurance policies and debt cancellation
          agreements covering the financed motorcycles or the obligors;

       -  certain rebates of premiums and other amounts relating to insurance
          policies, extended service contracts or other repair agreements and
          other items financed under the contracts; and

       -  all proceeds of the foregoing.

TRANSFER OF CONTRACTS BY THE DEPOSITOR

     Pursuant to a sale and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing
agreement, on the applicable closing date, the depositor will transfer to the
trust all of its interest in the following:

       -  all property acquired by the depositor from the seller under the
          transfer and sale agreement;

       -  amounts that may be held in separate trust accounts maintained by the
          trustee or indenture trustee for the trust, including any reserve fund
          or interest reserve account;

       -  the depositor's rights against the seller under the transfer and sale
          agreement pursuant to which the seller sold the pool of contracts to
          the depositor; and

       -  all proceeds of the foregoing.

     The depositor will designate the servicer as custodian to maintain physical
possession, as the trust's agent, of the retail installment contracts and
promissory notes and security agreements and any other documents relating to the
contracts. To facilitate servicing and save administrative costs, the documents
will not be physically segregated from other similar documents that are in the
servicer's possession. However, UCC financing statements will be filed in the
applicable jurisdictions reflecting:

       -  the sale and assignment of the contracts and the security interests in
          the financed motorcycles by the originators to the seller;

       -  the sale and assignment of the contracts and the security interests in
          the financed motorcycles and the related property by the seller to the
          depositor;

       -  the transfer of the contracts, the security interests in the financed
          motorcycles, the related property and the depositor's rights against
          the seller under the transfer and sale agreement; and

       -  if applicable, the pledge by the trust of the trust assets to the
          indenture trustee.

     The seller and servicer's accounting records and computer systems will also
reflect these assignments and, if applicable, the pledge. Because the contracts
will remain in the servicer's

                                       55

possession, if a subsequent purchaser were able to take physical possession of
the contracts without knowledge of the assignment, the trust's interest in the
contracts could be defeated. In addition, in some cases, the trust's security
interest in collections that have been received by the servicer but not yet
remitted to the related collection account could be defeated. See "LEGAL ASPECTS
OF THE CONTRACTS--SECURITY INTERESTS" in this prospectus.

     The depositor will cause the applicable trustee and the indenture trustee,
if any, concurrently with the depositor's transfer and assignment of the
contracts and related property to the trust, to execute and deliver the related
notes and/or certificates to the depositor. The depositor will apply the net
proceeds received from the sale of the certificates and the notes of a given
series to the purchase of the related contracts from the seller and, to the
extent specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, to make any required
initial deposit into the reserve fund and the interest reserve account, if any.

CONVEYANCE OF CONTRACTS

     On the closing date:

     - the seller will sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey the
       initial contracts and related assets to the depositor;

     - the depositor will sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey
       to the trust all right, title and interest in the initial contracts and
       related assets; and

     - if applicable, the trust will pledge to the indenture trustee all right,
       title and interest in the initial contracts and related assets.

     The initial contracts will be described on a list delivered to the trustee
and, if applicable, the indenture trustee. Such list will include the amount of
monthly payments due on each initial contract as of the initial cutoff date, the
contractual rate of interest on each contract and the maturity date of each
contract. Such list will be available for inspection by any securityholder at
the principal office of the servicer. Shortly after the conveyance of the
initial contracts to the trust, the servicer's compliance officer will have
completed a review of all the documents that the seller has customarily kept on
file relating to the contracts, including the certificates of title to, or other
evidence of a perfected security interest in, the related motorcycles, and
confirmed the accuracy of the list of initial contracts delivered to the trustee
and, if applicable, the indenture trustee. The depositor will deliver to the
trustee, and, if applicable, the indenture trustee, a report of a nationally
recognized independent public accounting firm which states that such firm has
performed specific procedures for a sample of the initial contracts supplied by
the seller. Any contract discovered not to agree with such list in a manner that
is materially adverse to the interests of the noteholders and, if applicable,
certificateholders, will be required to be repurchased by the seller, or, if the
discrepancy relates to the unpaid principal balance of a contract, the seller
may deposit cash in the collection account in an amount sufficient to offset
such discrepancy.

     In addition to the initial contracts, the trust's assets will include the
trust's rights under the sale and servicing agreement in respect of the
depositor's obligation to purchase from the seller, and concurrently convey to
the trust, subsequent contracts purchased as of the applicable

                                       56
<Page>

subsequent cutoff date. Any conveyance of subsequent contracts will be subject
to the satisfaction of certain conditions including:

     - each such subsequent contract satisfies the eligibility criteria
       specified in the transfer and sale agreement and the related subsequent
       purchase agreement executed thereunder;

     - the depositor shall have delivered certain opinions of counsel to the
       trustee, the underwriters and the rating agencies with respect to the
       validity and other aspects of the conveyance of all such subsequent
       contracts; and

     - the rating agencies shall have each notified the depositor and the
       trustees in writing that the ratings on the notes and, if applicable,
       certificates will not be lowered following the addition of such
       subsequent contracts.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES MADE BY THE SELLER AND THE DEPOSITOR

     The seller will make certain representations and warranties in the transfer
and sale agreement with respect to each contract, including that (references to
the closing date below being deemed, in respect of subsequent contracts, to
refer to the date such subsequent contracts are transferred to the depositor):

     (a)  as of the related cutoff date, the most recent scheduled payment was
          made or was not delinquent more than 30 days and, to the best of the
          seller's knowledge, all payments on the contract were made by the
          obligor;

     (b)  as of the closing date, no provision of a contract has been waived,
          altered or modified in any respect, except by instruments or documents
          contained in the files customarily maintained by the servicer for each
          contract;

     (c)  each contract is a genuine, legal, valid and binding obligation of the
          obligor and is enforceable in accordance with its terms (except as may
          be limited by laws affecting creditors' rights generally);

     (d)  as of the closing date, no contract is subject to any right of
          rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense;

     (e)  as of the contract's origination date, each motorcycle securing a
          contract is covered by certain insurance policies described under "THE
          SELLER AND SERVICER--INDIVIDUAL MOTORCYCLE INSURANCE";

     (f)  each contract originated by a Harley-Davidson motorcycle dealer was
          originated in the ordinary course of such dealer's 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 was sold by such dealer
          to the seller without any fraud or misrepresentation on the part of
          such dealer;

     (g)  each contract originated by Eaglemark Savings Bank was originated in
          the ordinary course of Eaglemark Savings Bank's business (and
          Eaglemark had all necessary licenses and permits to originate the
          contracts in the state where it is located), was fully and properly
          executed by the parties thereto and was sold by

                                       57
<Page>

          Eaglemark Savings Bank to the seller without any fraud or
          misrepresentation on the part of Eaglemark Savings Bank;
     (h)  no contract was originated in or is subject to the laws of any
          jurisdiction whose laws would make the transfer, sale and assignment
          of the contract pursuant to the transfer and sale agreement or the
          sale and servicing agreement unlawful, void or voidable;
     (i)  each contract and each sale of the related motorcycle complies with
          all requirements of any applicable federal, state, provincial, or
          local law and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation,
          usury, truth in lending, motor vehicle installment loan and equal
          credit opportunity laws, with such compliance not being affected by
          the depositor's conveyance and assignment of the contracts to the
          trust, or, if applicable, the trust's pledge of the contracts to the
          indenture trustee, and the seller will maintain in its possession,
          available for inspection by or delivery to the depositor, the trustee,
          and, if applicable, the indenture trustee, evidence of compliance with
          all such requirements;
     (j)  as of the closing date no contract has been satisfied, subordinated in
          whole or in part or rescinded and the motorcycle securing the contract
          has not been released from the lien of the contract in whole or in
          part;
     (k)  each contract creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable first
          priority security interest in favor of the seller in the motorcycle
          securing such contract; such security interest has been conveyed and
          assigned by the seller to the depositor;
     (l)  the original certificate of title, the certificate of lien or other
          notification or evidence (the "LIEN CERTIFICATE") issued by the body
          responsible for the registration of, and the issuance of certificates
          of title or other evidence relating to, motor vehicles and liens
          thereon (the "REGISTRAR OF TITLES") of the applicable state shows
          seller or Eaglemark Savings Bank as original secured party under each
          contract and as the holder of a first priority security interest in
          such motorcycle (and, with respect to each contract for which the Lien
          Certificate has not yet been received, the seller has received written
          evidence that such Lien Certificate showing seller or Eaglemark
          Savings Bank as lienholder has been applied for or the seller has such
          other documents evidencing the security interest in the related
          motorcycle);
     (m)  the seller's security interest has been validly assigned by the seller
          to the depositor pursuant to UCC financing statements in order that
          immediately after the sale, each contract will be secured by an
          enforceable and perfected first priority security interest in the
          related 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 any state law enforcement agency affecting a motorcycle
          and for the lien of the indenture, if applicable);
     (n)  all parties to each contract had capacity to execute such contract;
     (o)  no contract has been sold, conveyed and assigned or pledged to any
          other person other than the depositor, as transferee of the seller and
          the trust as transferee of the depositor and, if applicable, the
          indenture trustee as pledgee of the trust and prior to the transfer of
          the contract to the depositor, the seller had good and marketable
          title to each contract free and clear of any encumbrance, equity,
          loan, pledge,

                                       58
<Page>

          charge, claim or security interest, and as of the closing date, the
          trust and the owner trustee or, if applicable, the indenture trustee,
          will have a first priority perfected security interest therein;
     (p)  as of the related cutoff date, there was no default, breach, violation
          or event permitting acceleration under any contract (except for
          payment delinquencies permitted by clause (a) above), no event which
          with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period would
          constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting
          acceleration under such contract, and the seller has not waived any of
          the foregoing;
     (q)  as of the closing date, there are, to the best of the seller's
          knowledge, no liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or
          materials affecting a motorcycle securing a contract, which are or may
          be liens prior or equal to the lien of the contract;
     (r)  each contract has a fixed rate of interest 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;
     (s)  each contract contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to
          render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for
          realization against the collateral of the benefits of the security;
     (t)  the description of each contract set forth in the list delivered to
          the trustee and, if applicable, the indenture trustee is true and
          correct; and
     (u)  there is only one original of each contract.

     The seller will also make certain representations and warranties with
respect to the contracts in the aggregate as set forth in your prospectus
supplement.

     In the event of a breach of any representation or warranty with respect to
a contract that materially and adversely affects the trust's or any noteholder's
or certificateholder's interest in the contract or the collectibility of the
contract, the depositor will be obligated to repurchase the contract from the
trust and the seller will be obligated to repurchase the contract from the
depositor. Any purchase shall be made at least two business days prior to the
first determination date after the date on which the servicer, the trustee or
the indenture trustee becomes aware and gives notice to the depositor or the
seller of the breach or the depositor or the seller becomes aware of the breach
at a price equal to the required payoff amount of the contract. The related
trustee or the indenture trustee may enforce this purchase obligation on your
behalf, and will constitute your sole remedy available against the depositor or
the seller for any uncured breach of its representations and warranties in the
sale and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable,
and the transfer and sale agreement, except that the seller will indemnify the
trust, the trustee, and, if applicable, the indenture trustee against losses,
damages, liabilities and claims which may be asserted against any of them as a
result of third-party claims arising out of the facts giving rise to that
breach.

     Upon the purchase by the seller of a contract, the indenture trustee, if
any, the trust and the depositor will release the contract and its interest in
the related financed motorcycles to the seller.

                                       59
<Page>

COLLECTION ACCOUNT

     In the case of a trust issuing notes, the indenture trustee will establish
and maintain the collection account in the name of the indenture trustee for the
benefit of the noteholders under the indenture. In the case of a trust issuing
only certificates, the trustee will maintain the collection account in the name
of the trustee for the benefit of the certificateholders under the pooling and
servicing agreement.

     The servicer will deposit the following amounts into the collection account
no later than the second business day after processing by the servicer:

       -  all payments made by the obligors under the contracts;

       -  all proceeds of the contracts and the financed motorcycles; and

       -  all payments made by the seller under the related transfer and sale
          agreement, or the depositor under the sale and servicing agreement or
          pooling and servicing agreement to repurchase any contract as a result
          of a breach of a representation or warranty, as described under
          "--REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES MADE BY THE SELLER AND THE
          DEPOSITOR" above.

     However, if the conditions to making monthly deposits into the collection
account set forth in the sale and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing
agreement (including the satisfaction of the minimum ratings of the servicer and
the absence of a servicer default) are satisfied and if permitted by the rating
agencies rating the securities, the servicer may retain collections received on
the contracts during each month until the business day immediately prior to the
related payment date. Pending deposit into the collection account, the servicer
will not be obligated to segregate collections from its own funds and may use
collections for its own benefit. To the extent set forth in the applicable
prospectus supplement, the servicer may, in order to satisfy the requirements
set forth in the sale and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement
obtain a letter of credit or other security for the benefit of the related trust
to secure timely remittances of collections on the contracts.

     The servicer may withdraw from the collection account any amounts deposited
in error or required to be repaid to an obligor, based on the servicer's
good-faith determination that the amount was deposited in error or must be
returned to the obligor.

     Collections on a contract made during a month will be applied in the
following order:

       -  first, to accrued interest;

       -  second, to pay any expenses and late or extension fees owing; and

       -  third, to principal until the principal balance is brought current.

     Any collections on a contract remaining after those applications will be
considered an "EXCESS PAYMENT". Excess payments constituting prepayments of
principal will be applied as a prepayment of principal. All other excess
payments will be held by the servicer.

                                       60

SERVICING

     The servicer will be obligated under the sale and servicing agreement or
pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, to service the contracts with
reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that the servicer
generally exercises with respect to all comparable motorcycle retail installment
contracts or promissory notes and security agreements it services for itself and
others in accordance with its credit and collection policies and applicable law.
In performing these duties, the servicer shall comply in all material respects
with its credit and collection policies and procedures described above under
"THE SELLER AND SERVICER--UNDERWRITING AND ORIGINATION", as modified from time
to time. The servicer may delegate servicing responsibilities to third parties
or affiliates, provided that the servicer will remain obligated to the related
trust for the proper performance of its servicing responsibilities.

     The servicer is responsible for:

       -  reviewing the contract files in the normal course of business;

       -  monitoring and tracking any property and sales taxes to be paid by
          obligors;

       -  billing, collecting and recording payments from obligors;

       -  communicating with and providing billing records to obligors;

       -  depositing funds into the collection account;

       -  receiving payments as the trust's agent on the insurance policies
          maintained by the obligors and communicating with insurers;

       -  issuing reports to the trustee and indenture trustee, if any,
          specified in the relevant transfer and servicing agreements;

       -  repossessing and remarketing financed motorcycles following obligor
          defaults; and

       -  paying the fees and ordinary expenses of the trusts, trustee and the
          indenture trustee.

     The servicer is obligated to act in a commercially reasonable manner with
respect to the repossession and disposition of financed motorcycles following a
contract default with a view to realizing proceeds at least equal to the
financed motorcycle's fair market value.

     If the servicer determines that eventual payment in full of a contract is
unlikely, the servicer will follow its normal practices and procedures to
recover all amounts due upon that contract, including repossessing and disposing
of the related financed motorcycle at a public or private sale, or taking any
other action permitted by applicable law. See "LEGAL ASPECTS OF THE CONTRACTS"
in this prospectus. The servicer will be entitled to recover all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it in liquidating a contract and disposing of
the related financed motorcycle.

                                       61
<Page>

     The servicer may, consistent with its customary servicing procedures, grant
to the obligor on any contract an extension of payments due under such contract
if:

          (i)     the extension period is limited to 45 days;

          (ii)    the obligor has not received an extension during the previous
     twelve-month period;

          (iii)   the evidence supports the obligor's willingness and capability
     to resume monthly payments; and

          (iv)    such extension is consistent with the servicer's customary
     servicing procedures and with the sale and servicing agreement or pooling
     and servicing agreement.

Exceptions to this extension policy may be authorized by the servicer's
management on a case-by-case basis consistent with the servicer's prudent
business practices.

     If so specified in your prospectus supplement, a "backup servicer" may be
appointed and assigned certain oversight servicing responsibilities with respect
to the contracts. The identity of any backup servicer, as well as a description
of its responsibilities, of any fees payable to such backup servicer and the
source of payment of such fees, will be included in your prospectus supplement.

     EVIDENCE AS TO COMPLIANCE

     Annually the servicer will be obligated to deliver to the trustee and the
indenture trustee, if any, a report from a nationally recognized accounting firm
stating that the accounting firm has audited the financial statements of the
servicer and issued an opinion on those financial statements and that the
accounting firm has examined and provided a report as to the servicer's controls
over the servicing of the contracts.

     Annually the servicer will be obligated to deliver to the trustee and the
indenture trustee, if any, a certificate signed by an officer stating that the
servicer has fulfilled its obligations under the sale and servicing agreement or
the pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, during the preceding
twelve-month period in all material respects or, if there has been a default in
the fulfillment of any obligation, describing such default.

     You may obtain copies of these reports and certificates by delivering a
request in writing to the trustee or the indenture trustee, as the case may be,
at the address set forth in your prospectus supplement.

     SERVICER DEFAULT

     A servicer default under a sale and servicing agreement or pooling and
servicing agreement will occur if:

                                       62
<Page>

     - the servicer fails to make any payment or deposit required under the
       securities, the sale and servicing agreement, the pooling and servicing
       agreement or the transfer and sale agreement and such failure continues
       for four business days after the date on which such payment or deposit
       was due;

     - the servicer fails to observe or perform in any material respect any
       covenant or agreement in the securities, the sale and servicing
       agreement, the pooling and servicing agreement or the transfer and sale
       agreement which continues unremedied for thirty days after the date on
       which such failure commences;

     - the servicer assigns its duties or rights under the sale and servicing
       agreement, the pooling and servicing agreement or the transfer and sale
       agreement, except as specifically permitted under the sale and servicing
       agreement, the pooling and servicing agreement or the transfer and sale
       agreement, or attempts to make such an assignment;

     - an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other
       similar law now or hereafter in effect shall have been commenced against
       the servicer and shall not have been dismissed within 90 days, or a court
       having jurisdiction in the premises enters a decree or order for relief
       in respect of the servicer in an involuntary case under any applicable
       bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect,
       or appoints a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee or
       sequestrator (or similar official) of the servicer, or for any
       substantial liquidation of its affairs;

     - the servicer commences a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy,
       insolvency or similar law, or consents to the entry of an order for
       relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or consents to the
       appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee,
       trustee, custodian or sequestrator (or other similar official) of the
       servicer or for any substantial part of its property or shall have made
       any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or fails to, or
       admits in writing its inability to, pay debts as they become due, or
       takes any corporate action in furtherance of the foregoing;

     - the failure of the servicer to deliver the monthly report pursuant to the
       terms of the sale and servicing agreement or the pooling and servicing
       agreement and such failure remains uncured for five business days after
       the date on which such failure commences; or

     - any representation, warranty or statement of the servicer made in the
       sale and servicing agreement, the pooling and servicing agreement or any
       certificate, report or other writing delivered pursuant to the sale and
       servicing agreement or the pooling and servicing agreement shall prove to
       be incorrect in any material respect as of the time when the same shall
       have been made and the incorrectness of such representation, warranty or
       statement has a material adverse effect on the trust and, within 30 days
       after written notice has been given to the servicer or the trust
       depositor by the trustee or, if applicable, the indenture trustee, the
       circumstances or condition in

                                       63
<Page>

       respect of which such representation, warranty or statement was incorrect
       have not been eliminated or otherwise cured.

The servicer will be required under the sale and servicing agreement or the
pooling and servicing agreement to give the trustees and, if applicable, the
indenture trustee, the rating agencies, the noteholders and the
certificateholders notice of an event of termination promptly upon the
occurrence of such event.

     RIGHTS UPON SERVICER DEFAULT

     If a servicer default remains unremedied, the indenture trustee or the
holders of more than 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes or the
class or classes of notes described in your prospectus supplement or, if the
trust has no notes outstanding, the trustee or the holders of more than 50% of
the aggregate certificate balance of the certificates or the class or classes of
certificates described in your prospectus supplement may terminate all of the
rights and obligations of the servicer under the sale and servicing agreement or
pooling and servicing agreement. When this happens, the indenture trustee, the
trustee or a successor servicer selected by the indenture trustee or the trustee
will succeed to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the servicer
under the sale and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement.

     If the indenture trustee or the trustee is unwilling or unable to act as
the successor servicer, it may appoint, or petition a court to appoint, a
successor servicer. The indenture trustee or the trustee may arrange for
compensation to the successor servicer but that compensation may not exceed the
base servicing fee payable to the servicer. Any successor servicer will not be
liable for any acts or omissions of the prior servicer occurring prior to a
transfer of the servicer's servicing and related functions or for any breach by
the prior servicer of any of its obligations.

     If a trust has notes outstanding, the holders of more than 50% of the
aggregate principal amount of the notes or the class or classes of notes
described in your prospectus supplement may waive any servicer default, other
than a default in making any required deposits into the collection account. If a
trust has no notes outstanding, the holders of more than 50% of the aggregate
certificate balance of the certificates or the class or classes of certificates
described in your prospectus supplement may waive any servicer default, other
than a default in making any required deposits into the collection account.

     Following an event of termination, the indenture trustee will terminate the
lockbox agreement and direct all obligors under the contracts to make all
payments under the contracts to the indenture trustee, or to a lockbox
established by the indenture trustee.

     CERTAIN MATTERS REGARDING THE SERVICER

     The servicer may not resign from its obligations under the sale and
servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement except if its duties are
no longer permissible under applicable law. No resignation will become effective
until a successor servicer has assumed the servicer's obligations and duties
under the sale and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing

                                       64
<Page>

agreement. Removal of the servicer is permissible only upon the occurrence of a
servicer default as discussed above.

     Each sale and servicing agreement and pooling and servicing agreement will
provide that neither the servicer nor any of its directors, officers, employees
or agents will be under any liability to the trust or you for taking any action
or for refraining from taking any action pursuant to that agreement or for
errors in judgment; except that neither the servicer nor any person will be
protected against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of the
servicer's duties under that agreement or by reason of reckless disregard of its
obligations and duties under that agreement.

     In addition, the servicer will not be obligated to appear in, prosecute or
defend any legal action that is not incidental to the servicer's servicing
responsibilities under the related sale and servicing agreement or pooling and
servicing agreement and that, in its opinion, may cause it to incur any expense
or liability. The servicer may, however, undertake any reasonable action that it
may deem necessary or desirable in respect of that agreement, the rights and
duties of the parties thereto and the interests of the securityholders under
that agreement. In that event, the legal expenses and costs of that action and
any liability resulting therefrom will be expenses, costs and liabilities of the
servicer, and the servicer will not be entitled to be reimbursed therefor.

     Under the circumstances specified in each sale and servicing agreement or
pooling and servicing agreement, any entity into which the servicer may be
merged or consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger or consolidation
to which the servicer is a party, or any entity succeeding to all or
substantially all of the business of the servicer will be the successor of the
servicer under that agreement.

     SERVICING COMPENSATION AND PAYMENT OF EXPENSES

     Compensation to the servicer will include a base monthly fee equal:

       -  to the product of the percentage per annum specified in your
          prospectus supplement multiplied by the monthly principal balance of
          the contracts at the beginning of the month,

       plus any

          -  late fees;

          -  prepayment charges, if any;

          -  documentation fees;

          -  extension fees and other administrative charges; and

          -  if specified in the prospectus supplement, investment earnings on
             funds deposited in the trust accounts.

                                       65
<Page>

The servicer will pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its
activities under the transfer and servicing agreements and the annual fees and
expenses of the trustee and the indenture trustee, if any. The servicer will be
authorized to waive any administrative fees or extension fees that may be
collected in the ordinary course of servicing any contract.

     STATEMENTS TO TRUSTEES AND THE TRUST

     On or prior to each payment date the servicer will provide to the
applicable indenture trustee, if any, and the applicable trustee a statement
setting forth with respect to a series of securities substantially the same
information that is required to be provided in the periodic reports to be
provided to securityholders of that series described under "--STATEMENTS TO
SECURITYHOLDERS" below.

     STATEMENTS TO SECURITYHOLDERS

     With respect to each series of securities that includes notes, on or prior
to each payment date, the servicer will prepare and provide to the related
indenture trustee a statement to be delivered to you on that payment date. With
respect to each series of securities that includes certificates, on or prior to
each payment date, the servicer will prepare and provide to the related trustee
a statement to be delivered to you on the payment date. Each statement will
include the following information:

          -  the amount of the payment allocable to the principal amount of each
             class of those notes and to the certificate balance of each class
             of those certificates;

          -  the amount of the payment allocable to interest on each class of
             securities of that series;

          -  the amount of the distribution allocable to the yield supplement
             deposit, if any;

          -  the aggregate principal balance of the contracts as of the close of
             business on the last day of the preceding month;

             payable to the trustees;

          -  the interest rate or pass-through rate for the interest period
             relating to the next succeeding payment date for any class of notes
             or certificates of that series with variable or adjustable rates;

          -  the amount, if any, otherwise distributable to one or more
             subordinated classes of notes or certificates that has instead been
             distributed to more senior classes of notes or certificates on that
             payment date;

          -  the outstanding principal amount and the note factor for each class
             of those notes, and either the certificate balance and the
             certificate factor for each class

                                       66
<Page>

             of those certificates or the outstanding principal amount and the
             pool factor for each class of those certificates, each after giving
             effect to all payments allocable to the principal of each class of
             notes and to the certificate balance of the certificates on that
             date;

          -  the amount of advances made by the servicer in respect of the
             related contracts and the preceding month and the amount of
             unreimbursed advances in respect of contracts determined by the
             servicer to be defaulted contracts during that month;

          -  the balance of any related reserve fund, interest reserve account
             or other credit or liquidity enhancement on that date, after giving
             effect to changes thereto on that date and the amount of those
             changes;

          -  during the funding period, the remaining amount on deposit in the
             pre-funding account on the last day of the preceding month;

          -  the amount, if any, of any mandatory redemption payment;

          -  the number and aggregate principal balance of contracts delinquent
             computed as of the end of the related due period;

          -  the number and aggregate principal balance of contracts that became
             liquidated contracts during the immediately preceding due period,
             the amount of liquidation proceeds for such due period, the amount
             of liquidation expenses being deducted from liquidation proceeds
             for such due period, the net liquidation proceeds and the net
             liquidation losses for such due period;

          -  average and cumulative loss and delinquency information as of such
             payment date;

          -  the number of contracts and the aggregate principal balance of such
             contracts, as of the first day of the due period relating to such
             payment date (after giving effect to payments received during such
             due period and to any transfers of subsequent contracts to the
             trust occurring on or prior to such payment date);

          -  the aggregate principal balance and number of contracts that were
             repurchased by the depositor with respect to the related due
             period, identifying such contracts and the repurchase price for
             such contracts; and

          -  such other customary factual information as is available to the
             servicer as the servicer deems necessary and can reasonably obtain
             from its existing data base to enable securityholders to prepare
             their tax returns.

     You may obtain copies of the statements by delivering a request in writing
addressed to the applicable trustee or indenture trustee at its address set
forth in your prospectus supplement.

                                       67
<Page>

     Within the prescribed period of time for tax reporting purposes after the
end of each calendar year during the term of each trust, the applicable trustee
or indenture trustee will mail to each person who at any time during that
calendar year has been a securityholder with respect to that trust and received
any payment a statement containing information for the purposes of that
securityholder's preparation of federal income tax returns. See "MATERIAL
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES" in this prospectus.

     COLLECTIONS

     With respect to each trust, the servicer will deposit all payments on the
related contracts (from whatever source) and all proceeds of such contracts
collected during each collection period specified in your prospectus supplement
into the related collection account within two business days after receipt
thereof. The servicer is required to use its best efforts to cause an obligor to
make all payments on the contracts directly to one or more lockbox banks, acting
as agent for the trust pursuant to a lockbox administration agreement. In
addition, the servicer may in the future collect payments from obligors through
other methods, including direct debit programs and the internet.

     ADVANCES

     The servicer will be obligated to advance each month an amount equal to
accrued and unpaid interest on any contract which was delinquent with respect to
the related due period, but only to the extent that the servicer believes that
the amount of such advance will be recoverable from collections on the
contracts. The servicer will deposit any advances in the collection account no
later than the day preceding the related payment date. The servicer will be
entitled to recoup advances on a contract by means of a first priority
withdrawal from Available Amounts on any payment date. The servicer will not be
obligated to make an advance to the extent that it determines, in its sole
discretion, that the advance will not be recovered from subsequent collections
on or in respect of the related contract.

     All advances are reimbursable to the servicer, without interest, if and
when a payment relating to a contract with respect to which an advance has
previously been made is subsequently received. In addition, upon the
determination by the servicer that a contract is a defaulted contract, it will
be entitled to recover unreimbursed advances in respect of that contract from
collections on or in respect of other contracts. A defaulted contract means a
contract with respect to which there has occurred one or more of the following:
(i) all or some portion of any payment under the contract is 120 days or more
delinquent, (ii) repossession (and expiration of any redemption period) of a
motorcycle securing a contract or (iii) the servicer has determined in good
faith that an obligor is not likely to resume payment under a contract.

     NET DEPOSITS

     As an administrative convenience and as long as specified conditions are
satisfied, the servicer will be permitted to make the deposit of collections,
aggregate advances and payments for purchases of contracts from the trust for or
with respect to a month net of payments to be made to the servicer with respect
to that month. The servicer may cause to be made a single, net transfer to the
collection account. The servicer, however, will account to the related trustee,
and

                                       68
<Page>

you with respect to each trust as if all deposits, payments and transfers were
made individually. With respect to any trust that issues both certificates and
notes, if the related payment dates are not the same for all classes of
securities, all distributions, deposits or other remittances made on a payment
date will be treated as having been distributed, deposited or remitted on the
same payment date for the applicable month for purposes of determining other
amounts required to be distributed, deposited or otherwise remitted on a payment
date.

LIST OF SECURITYHOLDERS

     Three or more holders of the notes of any class in a series or one or more
holders of those notes of that class evidencing not less than 25% of the
aggregate principal amount of those notes then outstanding may, by written
request to the related indenture trustee, obtain access to the list of all
noteholders maintained by that indenture trustee for the purpose of
communicating with other noteholders with respect to their rights under the
related indenture or under those notes. An indenture trustee may elect not to
afford the requesting noteholders access to the list of noteholders if it agrees
to mail the desired communication or proxy, on behalf of and at the expense of
the requesting noteholders, to all noteholders of that series.

     Three or more holders of the certificates of any class in a series or one
or more holders of those certificates of that class evidencing not less than 25%
of the certificate balance of those certificates may, by written request to the
related trustee, obtain access to the list of all certificateholders maintained
by that trustee for the purpose of communicating with other certificateholders
with respect to their rights under the related trust agreement or pooling and
servicing agreement or under those certificates.

     The related trustee will provide to the servicer within 15 days after
receipt of a written request from the servicer, a list of the names of all
noteholders or certificateholders of record as of the most recent applicable
record date.

     No transfer and servicing agreement will provide for the holding of annual
or other meetings of securityholders.

INSOLVENCY OF TRUST

     Each trust agreement will provide that the related trustee does not have
the power to commence a voluntary proceeding in bankruptcy with respect to the
related trust without the unanimous prior approval of all certificateholders of
that trust and the delivery to that trustee by each certificateholder of a
certificate certifying that that certificateholder reasonably believes that that
trust is insolvent.

PAYMENT OF NOTES

     Upon the payment in full of all outstanding notes issued by a trust and the
satisfaction and discharge of the related indenture, the trustee will succeed to
all the rights of the indenture trustee, and the certificateholders of that
series will succeed to all the rights of the noteholders of that series, under
the related sale and servicing agreement, except as otherwise provided in the
sale and servicing agreement.

                                       69

ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT

     Harley-Davidson Credit Corp., in its capacity as administrator, will enter
into an administration agreement with each trust that issues notes and the
related indenture trustee pursuant to which the administrator will agree to
provide notices and perform other administrative obligations of the trust under
the related indenture. For its services under the administration agreement the
administrator may be entitled to receive a monthly administration fee, which
administration fee will be paid by the depositor. The amount of the
administration fee, if any, will be set forth in your prospectus supplement.

AMENDMENT

     The parties may, without your consent, correct or supplement any provision
in the transfer and servicing agreements that is ambiguous or inconsistent with
any other provision in the transfer and servicing agreements, this prospectus or
your prospectus supplement. In addition, the parties may amend any transfer and
servicing agreement without the consent of any securityholder to add any
provisions to or change in any manner or eliminate any of the provisions of a
transfer and servicing agreement if the indenture trustee or trustee receives an
opinion of counsel that the modification will not have a material adverse effect
on the securityholders.

     Any transfer and servicing agreement may also be amended in any respect by
the parties with the consent of the holders of more than 50% of the aggregate
principal amount of the notes or the class or classes of the notes described in
your prospectus supplement issued by the trust or, if the trust has no notes
outstanding, the holders of more than 50% of the aggregate certificate balance
of the certificates or the class or classes of the certificates described in
your prospectus supplement, except that no amendment:

       -  that reduces the amount or changes the timing of any collections on
          any contracts or payments required to be distributed on any security;

       -  that changes the interest rate on any security, that adversely affects
          the priority of payment of principal or interest to the
          securityholders; or

       -  that reduces the percentage of securityholders required to consent to
          these amendments or any waiver under the transfer and servicing
          agreement,

may be effective without the consent of the holder of each security. Also, an
amendment under the foregoing sentence will not be effective unless each rating
agency rating the securities confirms that the amendment will not result in a
reduction, qualification or withdrawal of the ratings on the securities.

TERMINATION

     The obligations of the servicer, the depositor, the trustee and indenture
trustee with respect to you pursuant to the trust agreement, the sale and
servicing agreement, pooling and servicing agreement or indenture will terminate
upon the earlier to occur of (i) the maturity or other liquidation of the last
contract and the disposition of any amounts received upon liquidation

                                       70
<Page>

of any property remaining in the trust, or (ii) the payment to all
securityholders of all amounts required to be paid to them pursuant to the
indenture and the trust agreement or pooling and servicing agreement; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, in no event shall the trust continue beyond the expiration of 21 years
from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the
late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the
closing date (each a "TERMINATION EVENT"). The seller's representations,
warranties and indemnities will survive any termination of the sale and
servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement. Upon termination,
amounts in the collection account, if any, will be paid to the depositor.

     The trustee and, if applicable, the indenture trustee will give written
notice of termination to each securityholder of record. The final distribution
to you will be made only upon surrender and cancellation of your notes or
certificates at the office or agency of the trustee or, if applicable, the
indenture trustee specified in the notice of termination. Any funds remaining in
the trust, after the trustee or, if applicable, the indenture trustee has taken
certain measures to locate you and such measures have failed, will be
distributed to the depositor.

                         LEGAL ASPECTS OF THE CONTRACTS

GENERAL

     The transfer of the contracts to the applicable trust, the perfection of
the security interests in the contracts and the enforcement of rights to realize
on the motorcycles as collateral for the contracts are subject to a number of
federal and state laws and, with respect to Canadian contracts, Canadian laws.
Uniform Commercial Code ("UCC") financing statements in the United States will
be filed in the applicable jurisdictions reflecting the transfer or pledge of
the contracts and the security interests in the motorcycles and the related
property by the seller to the depositor and by the depositor to the trust and,
if applicable, by the trust to the indenture trustee. A person could acquire an
interest in a contract that is superior to that of the trust or the indenture
trustee because the servicer will retain possession of the contracts. If a
person purchases contracts, or takes a security interest therein, for value in
the ordinary course of its business and obtains possession of the contracts
without actual knowledge of the trust's or indenture trustee's interest, that
person will acquire an interest in the contracts superior to the interest of the
trust or the indenture trustee. To the extent provided in the prospectus
supplement, a trust that holds its interest in Canadian contracts indirectly
through one or more notes, certificates, participations or other interests
issued to the trust by a Canadian special purpose entity will be secured by such
contracts held by Canadian special purpose entity.

SECURITY INTERESTS

     GENERAL

     In jurisdictions in which the contracts evidence the credit sale of new and
used motorcycles by motorcycle dealers to obligors, the contracts also
constitute personal property security agreements. Such contracts, and the
promissory notes and security agreements originated by Eaglemark Savings Bank,
include grants of security interests in the motorcycles under the applicable UCC
in the United States and the applicable Personal Property Security Act

                                       71
<Page>

or the equivalent thereof ("PPSA") in each applicable province and territory of
Canada. Perfection of security interests in financed motorcycles is generally
governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the motorcycle is located. In
most states in the United States, a security interest in a motor vehicle is
perfected by obtaining possession of the certificate of title to the motor
vehicle or notation of the secured party's lien on the motor vehicle's
certificate of title. In Canada, PPSA financing statements are filed against the
obligor on the related contract in order to perfect the security interests in
the financed motorcycles.

     All contracts acquired by the seller from the originators will name the
seller as obligee or assignee and as the secured party. The seller will also
take all actions necessary under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the
related financed motorcycle is located to perfect its security interest in that
financed motorcycle, including, where applicable, having a notation of its lien
recorded on the related certificate of title and/or obtaining possession of that
certificate of title and/or filing financing statements. Because Harley-Davidson
Credit Corp. will continue to service the contracts as servicer under the sale
and servicing agreement or the pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable,
the obligors on the contracts will not be notified of the sale from the seller
to the depositor or the sale from the depositor to the related trust or, if
applicable, the pledge to the related indenture trustee.

     PERFECTION

     The seller will sell and assign its security interest in the financed
motorcycles to the depositor and the depositor will assign its security interest
in the financed motorcycles to the trust and, if applicable, the trust will
assign its security interest in the financed motorcycles to the indenture
trustee. However, because of the administrative burden and expense, none of the
seller, the depositor or the related trust will amend any certificate of title
to identify the trust or indenture trustee as the new secured party on that
certificate of title relating to a financed motorcycle. However, UCC financing
statements with respect to the transfer to the depositor of the seller's
security interest in the financed motorcycles and the transfer to the trust of
the depositor's security interest in the financed motorcycles and, if
applicable, the transfer to the indenture trustee of the trust's security
interest in the financed motorcycles will be filed. In addition, the servicer
will continue to hold any certificates of title relating to the financed
motorcycles in its possession as custodian for that trust. See "DESCRIPTION OF
THE TRANSFER AND SERVICING AGREEMENTS" in this prospectus.

     In most states, an assignment is an effective conveyance of a security
interest without amendment of any lien noted on a motor vehicle's certificate of
title. In most Canadian jurisdictions, the failure to record an assignment by
the secured party of its interest therein does not diminish the effectiveness of
the PPSA registrations. Although re-registration of the motor vehicle is not
necessary to convey a perfected security interest in the financed motorcycles to
the trust or the indenture trustee, because neither the trust nor the indenture
trustee will be listed as lienholder on the certificates of title or any
financing statements, the security interest of the trust or the indenture
trustee in the motorcycle could be defeated through fraud, forgery, negligence
or error. In the absence of fraud or forgery by the motorcycle owner or the
servicer or administrative error by state or local agencies, the notation of the
seller's lien on the certificates of title will be sufficient to protect the
trust and the indenture trustee against the rights of subsequent purchasers of a
financed motorcycle or subsequent lenders who take a security

                                       72
<Page>

interest in a financed motorcycle. With respect to Canadian contracts, the
effectiveness and priority of the interest of the trust and the indenture
trustee in the motorcycles will be dependent upon the effectiveness and priority
of the PPSA registrations made by the seller against such motorcycles. The
seller and depositor will each represent and warrant that the seller has a
perfected security interest in each financed motorcycle. If there are any
financed motorcycles as to which the seller failed to obtain a perfected
security interest, the security interest of the trust and the indenture trustee
would be subordinate to, among others, subsequent purchasers of the financed
motorcycles and holders of perfected security interests in the financed
motorcycles. To the extent that such failure has a material and adverse effect
on the trust's, the indenture trustee's or any securityholder's interest in the
related contract or the collectibility of the contract, however, it would
constitute a breach of the warranties of the seller and the depositor.
Accordingly, the depositor would be required to repurchase the related contract
from the trust and the seller will be required to purchase that contract from
the depositor, unless the breach was cured. The depositor will assign to the
related trust its rights to cause the seller to repurchase that contract under
the related transfer and sale agreement and, if applicable, the related trust
will pledge to the indenture trustee its rights to cause the depositor to
repurchase that contract under the related sale and servicing agreement. See
"DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSFER AND SERVICING AGREEMENTS" and "RISK
FACTORS--INTERESTS OF OTHER PERSONS IN THE CONTRACTS OR THE FINANCED MOTORCYCLES
COULD REDUCE THE FUNDS AVAILABLE TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON YOUR SECURITIES" in this
prospectus.

     CONTINUITY OF PERFECTION

     Under the laws of most states, the perfected security interest in a vehicle
would continue for four months after the motor vehicle is moved to a state that
is different from the one in which it is initially registered and thereafter
until the owner re-registers the motor vehicle in the new state. A majority of
states generally require surrender of a certificate of title to re-register a
motor vehicle. In those states, such as California, that require a secured party
to hold possession of the certificate of title to maintain perfection, the
secured party would learn of the re-registration through the request from the
obligor under the related contract to surrender possession of the certificate of
title. In the case of motor vehicles registered in states providing for the
notation of a lien on the certificate of title but not possession by the secured
party, such as Texas, the secured party would receive notice of surrender from
the state of re-registration if the security interest is noted on the
certificate of title. Thus, the secured party would have the opportunity to
re-perfect its security interest in the vehicle in the state of relocation.
However, these procedural safeguards will not protect the secured party if
through fraud, forgery or administrative error, the obligor somehow procures a
new certificate of title that does not list the secured party's lien.
Additionally, in states that do not require a certificate of title for
registration of a motor vehicle, re-registration could defeat perfection. In the
ordinary course of servicing the contracts, the servicer will take steps to
effect re-perfection upon receipt of notice of re-registration or information
from the obligor as to relocation. Similarly, when an obligor sells a financed
motorcycle, the servicer must surrender possession of the certificate of title
or will receive notice as a result of its lien noted on the certificate of title
and accordingly will have an opportunity to require satisfaction of the related
contract before release of the lien. The servicer will be obligated to take
appropriate steps, at the servicer's expense, to maintain perfection of security
interests in the financed motorcycles and will be obligated to purchase the
related contract if it

                                       73
<Page>

fails to do so and that failure has a material and adverse effect on the trust's
or any securityholder's interest in the contract or the collectibility of the
contract.

     PRIORITY OF LIENS ARISING BY OPERATION OF LAW

     Under the laws of most states, liens for repairs performed on a motor
vehicle and liens for unpaid taxes take priority over even a perfected security
interest in a financed motorcycle. The Internal Revenue Code also grants
priority to specified federal tax liens over the lien of a secured party. The
laws of some states and federal law permit the confiscation of motor vehicles by
governmental authorities under some circumstances if used in unlawful
activities, which may result in the loss of a secured party's perfected security
interest in the confiscated vehicle. The seller will represent and warrant to
the depositor and the depositor will represent and warrant to the trust that, to
its knowledge, as of the related closing date, each security interest in a
financed motorcycle is prior to all other present liens upon and security
interests in that financed motorcycle. However, liens for repairs or taxes could
arise, or the confiscation of a financed motorcycle could occur, at any time
during the term of a contract. No notice will be given to related trustee,
indenture trustee or you in respect of a given trust if a lien arises or
confiscation occurs that would not give rise to the depositor's or seller's
repurchase obligation. In Canada, certain liens for, among other things, repairs
and unpaid taxes may also in certain circumstances take priority over a
perfected security interest in a financed motorcycle.

REPOSSESSION

     In the event of default by an obligor, the holder of the related contract
has all the remedies of a secured party under the UCC, except where specifically
limited by other state laws. Among the UCC remedies, the secured party has the
right to perform repossession by self-help means, unless it would constitute a
breach of the peace or is otherwise limited by applicable state law. Unless a
motor vehicle financed by the seller is voluntarily surrendered, self-help
repossession is the method employed by the servicer in most states and is
accomplished simply by retaking possession of the financed motorcycle. In cases
where an obligor objects or raises a defense to repossession, or if otherwise
required by applicable state law, a court order must be obtained from the
appropriate state court, and that vehicle must then be recovered in accordance
with that order. In some jurisdictions, the secured party is required to notify
that obligor of the default and the intent to repossess the collateral and to
give that obligor a time period within which to cure the default prior to
repossession. In some states, an obligor has the right to reinstate its contract
and recover the collateral by paying the delinquent installments or other
amounts due. In Canada, in the event of a default by an obligor, the secured
party has, in addition to its contractual remedies, all the remedies of a
secured party under the applicable PPSA and is also subject to certain
obligations imposed by the applicable PPSA, such as the obligation to act in a
commercially reasonable manner. These remedies include the right to take
possession and dispose of the collateral.

NOTICE OF SALE; REDEMPTION RIGHTS

     The UCC and other state laws require the secured party to provide an
obligor with reasonable notice of the date, time and place of any public sale
and/or the date after which any private sale of the collateral may be held. In
most states, an obligor has the right to redeem the

                                       74
<Page>

collateral prior to actual sale by paying the secured party the unpaid principal
balance of the obligation, accrued interest on the obligation plus reasonable
expenses for repossessing, holding and preparing the collateral for disposition
and arranging for its sale, plus, in some jurisdictions, reasonable attorneys'
fees. In some states, an obligor has the right to redeem the collateral prior to
actual sale by payment of delinquent installments or the unpaid balance. Under
Canadian law, most provinces require that the obligor and certain other persons
with an interest in the collateral be notified of the disposition of the
collateral and be given a period of time within which they may satisfy the
obligation secured by the collateral prior to actual sale of the collateral by
paying the secured party the unpaid balance of the obligation plus the secured
party's expenses for repossessing, holding and preparing the collateral for
disposition.

DEFICIENCY JUDGMENTS AND EXCESS PROCEEDS

     The proceeds of resale of the motor vehicle generally will be applied first
to the expenses of resale and repossession and then to the satisfaction of the
indebtedness. While some states impose prohibitions or limitations on deficiency
judgments if the net proceeds from resale do not cover the full amount of the
indebtedness, a deficiency judgment can be sought in those states that do not
prohibit or limit those judgments. In addition to the notice requirement
described above, the UCC requires that every aspect of the sale or other
disposition, including the method, manner, time, place and terms, be
"commercially reasonable." Generally, courts have held that when a sale is not
"commercially reasonable," the secured party loses its right to a deficiency
judgment. However, the deficiency judgment would be a personal judgment against
the obligor for the shortfall, and a defaulting obligor can be expected to have
very little capital or sources of income available following repossession.
Therefore, in many cases, it may not be useful to seek a deficiency judgment or,
if one is obtained, it may be settled at a significant discount or be
uncollectible. In addition, the UCC permits the obligor or other interested
party to recover for any loss caused by noncompliance with the provisions of the
UCC. Also, prior to a sale, the UCC permits the obligor or other interested
person to prohibit the secured party from disposing of the collateral if it is
established that the secured party is not proceeding in accordance with the
"default" provisions under the UCC.

     Occasionally, after resale of a repossessed vehicle and payment of all
expenses and indebtedness, there is a surplus of funds. In that case, the UCC
requires the creditor to remit the surplus to any holder of a subordinate lien
with respect to that vehicle or if no lienholder exists, the UCC requires the
creditor to remit the surplus to the obligor. The applicable PPSA requires that
any surplus be paid to persons having a subordinate security interest in
collateral or an interest in the surplus, and otherwise to the obligor or any
other person known by the secured party to be an owner of such collateral.

CERTAIN BANKRUPTCY CONSIDERATIONS

     The depositor has taken steps that are intended to make it unlikely that
the voluntary or involuntary application for relief by the seller under the
United States Bankruptcy Code or similar applicable state laws will result in
consolidation of the assets and liabilities of the depositor with those of the
seller. These steps include the creation of the depositor as a wholly-owned,
limited purpose subsidiary pursuant to articles of incorporation and bylaws
containing restrictions on the nature of the depositor's business and on its
ability to commence a voluntary

                                       75
<Page>

case or proceeding under any insolvency law without the unanimous affirmative
vote of all of its directors. In addition, to the extent that the seller granted
a security interest in the contracts to the depositor, and that interest was
validly perfected before the bankruptcy or insolvency of the seller and was not
taken or granted in contemplation of insolvency or with the intent to hinder,
delay or defraud the seller or its creditors, that security interest should not
be subject to avoidance, and payments to the trust with respect to the contracts
should not be subject to recovery by a creditor or trustee in bankruptcy of the
seller.

     However, delays in payments on the securities and possible reductions in
the amount of those payments could occur if:

     1.   a court were to conclude that the assets and liabilities of the
          depositor should be consolidated with those of the seller in the event
          of the application of applicable insolvency laws to the seller, as the
          case may be;

     2.   a filing were made under any insolvency law by or against the
          depositor; or

     3.   an attempt were to be made to litigate any of the foregoing issues.

     On each closing date, Winston & Strawn will give an opinion to the effect
that, based on a reasoned analysis of analogous case law, although there is no
precedent based on directly similar facts, and, subject to facts, assumptions
and qualifications specified in the opinion and applying the principles set
forth in the opinion, in the event of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy case
in respect of the seller under Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code at
a time when the seller was insolvent, the property of the seller would not
properly be substantively consolidated with the assets of the depositor. Among
other things, that opinion will assume that each of the depositor and the seller
will follow specified procedures in the conduct of its affairs, including
maintaining records and books of account separate from those of the other,
refraining from commingling its assets with those of the other, and refraining
from holding itself out as having agreed to pay, or being liable for, the debts
of the other. The depositor and the seller intend to follow these and other
procedures related to maintaining their separate identities. However, there can
be no assurance that a court would not conclude that the assets and liabilities
of the depositor should be consolidated with those of the seller.

     The seller will represent and warrant that the sale of the related
contracts to the depositor is a valid sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
the seller were to become a debtor in a bankruptcy case, a court could take the
position that the sale of contracts to the depositor should instead be treated
as a pledge of those contracts to secure a borrowing of the seller. If a court
were to reach such conclusions, or a filing were made under any insolvency law
by or against the depositor, or if an attempt were made to litigate any of the
foregoing issues, delays and possible reduction in payments on the securities
could occur. In addition, if the transfer of contracts to the depositor is
treated as a pledge instead of a sale, a tax or government lien on the property
of the seller arising before the transfer of a contract to the depositor may
have priority over the depositor's interest in that contract.

     The seller and the depositor will treat the transactions described in this
prospectus as a sale of the contracts to the depositor, so that the automatic
stay provisions of the United States

                                       76
<Page>

Bankruptcy Code should not apply to the contracts if the seller were to become a
debtor in a bankruptcy case.

     Furthermore, if a motorcycle dealer or the seller became a debtor in a
bankruptcy case, creditors of that party, or that party acting as
debtor-in-possession, may assert that the transfer of the contracts was
ineffective to remove the contracts from that party's estate. In that case, the
distribution of payments on the contracts to the trust might be subject to the
automatic stay provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code. This would delay
the distribution of those payments to you for an uncertain period of time.
Furthermore, reductions in payments under the contracts to the trust may result
if the bankruptcy court rules in favor of the creditors or the
debtor-in-possession. In either case, you may experience delays or reductions in
distributions or payments to you. In addition, a bankruptcy trustee would have
the power to sell the contracts if the proceeds of the sale could satisfy the
amount of the debt deemed owed by the motorcycle dealer or the seller, as the
case may be. The bankruptcy trustee could also substitute other collateral in
lieu of the contracts to secure the debt. Additionally, the bankruptcy court
could adjust the debt if the motorcycle dealer or the seller were to file for
reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Any of
these actions could result in losses or delays in payments on your securities.
Each of the motorcycle dealers and the seller will represent and warrant that
the conveyance of the contracts by it is in each case a valid sale and transfer
of the contracts.

     Also, cash collections on the contracts may be commingled with general
funds of the servicer and, in the event of a bankruptcy of the servicer, a court
may conclude that the trust does not have a perfected security interest in those
collections.

     Eaglemark Savings Bank is organized as a Nevada corporation and is
regulated and supervised by the Department of Business and Industry Financial
Institutions Division which is authorized to appoint the FDIC as a conservator
or receiver for Eaglemark Savings Bank if specified events occur relating to
Eaglemark Savings Bank's financial condition or the propriety of its actions. In
addition, the FDIC could appoint itself as conservator or receiver for Eaglemark
Savings Bank.

     By statute, the FDIC as conservator or receiver is authorized to repudiate
any "contracts" of Eaglemark Savings Bank upon payment of "actual direct
compensatory damages." This authority may be interpreted by the FDIC to permit
it to repudiate the transfer of contracts to the seller. Under an FDIC
regulation, however, the FDIC as conservator or receiver will not reclaim,
recover or recharacterize a bank's transfer of financial assets if certain
conditions are met, including that the transfer qualifies for sale accounting
treatment, was made for adequate consideration and was not made fraudulently, in
contemplation of insolvency, or with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud the
bank or its creditors. We believe the FDIC regulation will apply to the transfer
of contracts to the seller and intend on satisfying the conditions of the
regulation. If a condition required under the FDIC regulation, or other
statutory or regulatory requirement applicable to the transactions, were found
not to have been satisfied, the FDIC as conservator or receiver might refuse to
recognize Eaglemark Savings Bank's transfer of contracts to the seller. In that
case, distribution of payments on the contracts to the trust may be delayed and
possibly reduced. Also, the FDIC could require the trust and securityholders to
comply with the administrative claims procedure established by the FDIC to
establish their rights to payments on

                                       77
<Page>

the contracts, could request a stay of any actions to enforce the participation
agreement (pursuant to which the seller purchases the contracts from Eaglemark
Savings Bank) against Eaglemark Savings Bank, or could repudiate the
participation agreement and limit claims of the trust and securityholders to
"actual direct compensatory damages." Additionally, the trust could be limited
to seeking recovery based upon the obligation of the seller to repurchase
contracts for which it did not have good and marketable title. Any of these
actions could result in losses or delays in payments on your securities.

CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS

     Numerous federal and state consumer protection laws and related regulations
impose substantial requirements upon lenders and servicers involved in consumer
finance. These laws include the Truth-in-Lending Act, the Equal Credit
Opportunity Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Fair Credit Billing Act,
the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, the Federal Reserve Board's Regulations B and Z, the
Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940, the Texas Consumer Credit Code,
state adoptions of the National Consumer Act and of the Uniform Consumer Credit
Code and state motor vehicle retail installment sales acts and other similar
laws. Also, state laws impose finance charge ceilings and other restrictions on
consumer transactions and require contract disclosures in addition to those
required under federal law. These requirements impose specific statutory
liabilities upon creditors who fail to comply with their provisions. In some
cases, this liability could affect an assignee's ability to enforce consumer
finance contracts such as the contracts.

     Those contracts which are originated in Canada are consumer contracts
subject to many Canadian federal and provincial consumer protection laws which
impose requirements on the making and enforcement of consumer credit sales and
the granting of consumer credit generally. If any of the contracts do not comply
with one or more of these laws, the servicer may be prevented from or delayed in
collecting amounts due on the contracts.

     The so-called "Holder-in-Due-Course" Rule of the Federal Trade Commission
(the "FTC RULE"), the provisions of which are generally duplicated by the
Uniform Consumer Credit Code, other statutes or the common law in some states,
has the effect of subjecting a seller (and specified creditors and their
assignees) in a consumer credit transaction to all claims and defenses that the
obligor in the transaction could assert against the seller of the goods.
Liability under the FTC Rule is limited to the amounts paid by the obligor under
the contract, and the holder of the contract may also be unable to collect any
balance remaining due under that contract from the obligor.

     Most of the contracts will be subject to the requirements of the FTC Rule.
Accordingly, each trust, as holder of the related contracts, will be subject to
any claims or defenses that the purchaser of the applicable financed motorcycle
may assert against the seller of the related financed motorcycle. As to each
obligor, these claims are limited to a maximum liability equal to the amounts
paid by the obligor on the related contract. Under most state motor vehicle
dealer licensing laws, sellers of motorcycles are required to be licensed to
sell motorcycles at retail sale. Furthermore, federal odometer regulations
promulgated under the Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act require
that all sellers of new and used motorcycles furnish a written

                                       78
<Page>

statement signed by the seller certifying the accuracy of the odometer reading.
If the motorcycle dealer is not properly licensed or if a written odometer
disclosure statement was not provided to the purchaser of the related financed
motorcycle, an obligor may be able to assert a defense against the motorcycle
dealer. If an obligor were successful in asserting any of those claims or
defenses, that claim or defense would constitute a breach of the depositor's
representations and warranties under the related sale and servicing agreement or
pooling and servicing agreement and a breach of the seller's warranties under
the related transfer and sale agreement and would, if the breach materially and
adversely affects the collectibility of the contract or the interests of the
trust or the securityholders in the contract, create an obligation of the
depositor and the seller, respectively, to repurchase the contract unless the
breach is cured. See "DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSFER AND SERVICING AGREEMENTS" in
this prospectus.

     Courts have applied general equitable principles to secured parties
pursuing repossession and litigation involving deficiency balances. These
equitable principles may have the effect of relieving an obligor from some or
all of the legal consequences of a default.

     In several cases, consumers have asserted that the self-help remedies of
secured parties under the UCC and related laws violate the due process
protections provided under the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United
States. Courts have generally upheld the notice provisions of the UCC and
related laws as reasonable or have found that the repossession and resale by the
creditor do not involve sufficient state action to afford constitutional
protection to borrowers.

     The seller and the depositor will represent and warrant that each contract
complies with all requirements of law in all material respects. Accordingly, if
an obligor has a claim against a trust for violation of any law and that claim
materially and adversely affects that trust's or the securityholder's interest
in a contract or the collectibility of the contract, that violation would
constitute a breach of the representations and warranties of the seller and the
depositor would create an obligation of the seller and the depositor to
repurchase the contract unless the breach is cured. See "DESCRIPTION OF THE
TRANSFER AND SERVICING AGREEMENTS" in this prospectus.

OTHER LIMITATIONS

     In addition to the laws limiting or prohibiting deficiency judgments,
numerous other statutory provisions, including federal bankruptcy laws and
related state laws and, to the extent applicable, Canadian bankruptcy and
insolvency laws, may interfere with or affect the ability of a secured party to
realize upon collateral or to enforce a deficiency judgment. For example, in a
Chapter 13 proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code, a court may
prevent a creditor from repossessing a vehicle and, as part of the
rehabilitation plan, reduce the amount of the secured indebtedness to the market
value of the vehicle at the time of bankruptcy, as determined by the court,
leaving the creditor as a general unsecured creditor for the remainder of the
indebtedness. A bankruptcy court may also reduce the monthly payments due under
a contract or change the rate of interest and time of repayment of the
indebtedness.

     Under the terms of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Relief Act of 1940 (the
"Relief Act"), an obligor who enters the military service after the origination
of that obligor's contract (including an obligor who is a member of the National
Guard or is in reserve status at the time of the

                                       79
<Page>

origination of the obligor's contract and is later called to active duty) may
not be charged interest above an annual rate of 6% during the period of that
obligor's active duty status, unless a court orders otherwise upon application
of the lender. In addition, some states, including California, allow members of
its national guard to extend payments on any contract obligation if called into
active service by the Governor for a period exceeding 7 days. It is possible
that the foregoing could have an effect on the ability of the servicer to
collect the full amount of interest owing on some of the contracts. In addition,
both the Relief Act and the laws of some states, including California, New York
and New Jersey, impose limitations that would impair the ability of the servicer
to repossess the released financed motorcycle during the obligor's period of
active duty status. Thus, if that contract goes into default, there may be
delays and losses occasioned by the inability to exercise the trust's rights
with respect to the contract and the related financed motorcycle in a timely
fashion.

     Any shortfall, to the extent not covered by amounts payable to the
securityholders from amounts on deposit in the related reserve fund or from
coverage provided under any other credit enhancement mechanism, could result in
losses to the securityholders.

                    MATERIAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

GENERAL

     The following is a discussion of the material United States federal income
tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of notes or
certificates issued by a trust as described in this prospectus. The federal
income tax consequences to certificate holders will vary depending on whether
the trust is an owner trust or a grantor trust. As an alternative to those two
types of trusts, a trust could elect to be treated as a financial asset
securitization investment trust, generally referred to as a FASIT. The
prospectus supplement for each series of notes or certificates will specify the
treatment of the trust for federal income tax purposes. Winston & Strawn has
delivered its opinion letter with respect to each type of trust contemplated by
this prospectus regarding the federal income tax characterization of the trust
and the notes or certificates to be issued by the trust. Each of those opinions
is described fully below in connection with the discussion of each type of
trust.

     The opinions of Winston & Strawn and this discussion of "MATERIAL FEDERAL
INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES" are based upon current provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "CODE"), existing and proposed Treasury
Regulations, current administrative rulings, judicial decisions and other
applicable authorities in effect as of the date of this prospectus, all of which
are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. There are no cases,
regulations, or Internal Revenue Service rulings on transactions or instruments
comparable to those described in this prospectus. As a result, there can be no
assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will not challenge the opinions of
federal tax counsel and no ruling from the Internal Revenue Service has been or
will be sought on any of the issues discussed below. Furthermore, legislative,
judicial or administrative changes may occur, perhaps with retroactive effect,
which could affect the accuracy of the statements set forth below.

     This discussion does not attempt to deal with all aspects of federal income
taxation that may be relevant to all holders of notes and certificates in light
of their personal investment or tax

                                       80
<Page>

circumstances. Also, this discussion does not describe tax consequences to
certain types of holders who may be subject to special treatment under the
federal income tax laws including, without limitation, financial institutions,
dealers in securities or currencies, insurance companies, and persons who hold
the notes or certificates as part of a straddle, hedging or conversion
transaction.

     Investors and preparers of tax returns (including returns filed by any
trust described in this prospectus) should be aware that under applicable
Treasury Regulations a provider of advice on specific issues of law is not
considered an income tax return preparer unless the advice (1) is given with
respect to events that have occurred at the time the advice is rendered and is
not given with respect to the consequences of contemplated actions, and (2) is
directly relevant to the determination of an entry on a tax return. Accordingly,
taxpayers should consult their own tax advisors and tax return preparers
regarding the preparation of any item on a tax return even where the anticipated
tax treatment has been discussed in this prospectus. The depositor suggests that
you consult with your own tax advisors as to the federal, state, local, foreign
and any other tax consequences to you of the purchase, ownership and disposition
of the notes and the certificates.

     The Treasury recently issued temporary and proposed regulations directed at
potentially abusive tax shelter transactions that require taxpayers
participating in a "reportable transaction" entered into on or after January 1,
2003 to disclose certain information regarding the transaction to the Internal
Revenue Service on IRS Form 8886 (Reportable Transaction Disclosure Statement -
not yet available). Organizers and sellers of the transaction are required to
maintain lists identifying investors in the transaction as well as detailed
information regarding the reportable transaction and must submit this
information to the Internal Revenue Service upon demand. A transaction may be a
"reportable transaction" based upon any of several indicia, including the
existence of a significant difference between the U.S. federal income tax
treatment of all or a part of the transaction and its treatment under U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles. Currently, legislative proposals are
pending in Congress that, if enacted, would impose significant penalties for
failure to comply with these disclosure requirements. The Internal Revenue
Service has notified taxpayers that certain transactions will be exempted from
the disclosure requirements but to date has not expressly identified any
exempted transactions. The Internal Revenue Service has also announced that the
regulations regarding disclosure of reportable transactions will be revised and
reissued in the near future and that, for transactions entered into on or after
January 1, 2003 and before the filing date of the revised regulations, taxpayers
may elect to comply with either the regulations described above or the revised
disclosure regulations. Investors should consult their own tax advisers
concerning any possible disclosure obligation with respect to their investment,
and should be aware that the Depositor and other participants in the transaction
(including advisors) intend to comply with all of the disclosure and investor
list maintenance requirements as they determine may arise from the transactions
described herein.

     The tax opinions of Winston & Strawn with respect to each type of trust and
the notes or certificates to be issued by the trusts which have been delivered
in connection with the filing of this prospectus are subject to certain
assumptions, conditions and qualifications as described in detail below. At the
time a trust is established and notes or certificates are issued, Winston &

                                       81
<Page>

Strawn will deliver another opinion, regarding the same tax issues, to either
confirm the accuracy of those assumptions or conditions or to address any
changes or differences which may exist at that time. To the extent any given
series of notes or certificates, or the form of any trust, differs from the
assumptions or conditions set forth in the following discussion or changes occur
in the relevant tax laws, or in their application, any additional tax
considerations will be disclosed in the applicable prospectus supplement. Each
of those subsequent opinions of Winston & Strawn will be filed, together with
the final documentation for the respective trust transaction, with the
Securities and Exchange Commission under Form 8-K prior to sale.

OWNER TRUSTS

     A trust structured as an owner trust will typically issue one or more
classes of notes, intended to be treated as debt for federal income tax
purposes, and certificates, representing equity interests in the trust. The
characterization of the trust for federal income tax purposes depends in part
upon whether the certificates are owned by a single holder, such as the
depositor, or by multiple holders. This summary of material federal income tax
consequences with respect to the issuance of notes or certificates by an owner
trust is divided into three parts. The first part describes characterization of
the trust as a pass-through entity rather than as a corporation or other entity
subject to tax at the entity level. The second part describes the taxation of an
investor in the notes. The third part describes taxation of an investor in the
certificates.

     TAX CHARACTERIZATION OF OWNER TRUSTS

     Winston & Strawn, as federal tax counsel to the depositor, is of the
opinion that if the prospectus supplement specifies that the trust will be
treated as an owner trust, it will not be an association (or a publicly traded
partnership) taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes and
therefore its income will not be subject to the federal income tax imposed by
Subtitle A of the Code. This opinion is based on the assumptions that the terms
of the trust agreement and related documents will be substantially in the form
filed in connection with this prospectus and will be complied with. It is also
assumed that the owner or owners of certificates issued by the trust will take
all action necessary, if any, or refrain from taking any inconsistent action so
as to ensure the trust is, for federal income tax purposes, either disregarded
as a separate entity from the depositor (or other sole certificateholder) or
treated as a partnership. Winston & Strawn's opinion is also based on its
conclusions that (1) the trust will constitute a business entity, (2) the nature
of the income of the trust will exempt it from the rule that certain publicly
traded partnerships are taxable as corporations, and (3) the trust, if a
corporation, would not constitute a regulated investment company under the
federal income tax laws.

     If certificates issued by the trust are at all times required to be owned
by a single person, such as the depositor, then, for federal income tax
purposes, the trust may be disregarded as a separate entity from the owner of
its certificates. Although it is the opinion of Winston & Strawn that the notes
issued by the trust will be characterized as indebtedness for federal income tax
purposes (as discussed below), no assurance can be given that this
characterization of the notes will prevail. If the Internal Revenue Service
successfully asserted that one or more of the notes did not represent debt for
federal income tax purposes, the notes might be treated as equity interests in
the trust. As a result, even if certificates issued by the trust are at all
times owned by a single person, the trust would be considered to have multiple
equity owners (rather than just the

                                       82
<Page>

single owner of the trust certificates). In that case, the trust would be
characterized as a partnership for federal income tax purposes and the tax
consequences to holders of notes which were recharacterized as equity would be
similar to those discussed below under "--TAX TREATMENT OF INVESTORS IN
CERTIFICATES".

     Rather than having a single owner of certificates issued by the trust, it
is possible that the trust may issue certificates to multiple owners. In that
situation, the certificate owners would be treated as equity owners of the trust
and the trust would be characterized as a partnership for federal income tax
purposes.

     In any case where the trust is treated as a partnership for federal income
tax purposes, it is the opinion of Winston & Strawn that it will not constitute
a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation. That opinion is based
upon Winston & Strawn's conclusions that (1) the nature of the income of the
trust will exempt it from being taxed as a corporation and/or (2) the trust will
at all times have fewer than 100 owners of its equity interests. If, contrary to
the opinion of Winston & Strawn, the trust were treated as a publicly traded
partnership taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, it would
be subject to corporate income tax on its taxable income. The trust's taxable
income would include all its income on the receivables and other assets owned by
the trust, which may be reduced by the interest expense on the notes issued by
the trust to the extent the notes are properly characterized as debt. Any such
corporate income tax could materially reduce cash available to make payments on
the notes and distributions on the certificates. If the trust were classified as
a partnership, other than a publicly traded partnership taxable as a
corporation, the trust itself would not be subject to United States federal
income tax. Instead, holders of equity interests in the partnership would be
required to take into account their allocable share of the trust's income and
deductions as discussed below under "--TAX TREATMENT OF INVESTORS IN
CERTIFICATES".

     TAX TREATMENT OF INVESTORS IN NOTES

     TREATMENT OF THE NOTES AS INDEBTEDNESS. Winston & Strawn, as federal tax
counsel, is of the opinion that the notes will be classified as debt for federal
income tax purposes. This opinion is based upon the assumption that the terms of
the trust agreement, the notes and the related documents will be substantially
in the form filed in connection with this prospectus and will be complied with.
The depositor and the owners of the notes, by their purchase of notes, will
agree to treat the notes as debt for federal income tax purposes. Winston &
Strawn's opinion also assumes that the terms and delinquency experience with
respect to the contracts as described in this prospectus will remain
substantially unchanged and that the terms of the notes will be as contemplated
by this prospectus. The discussion below assumes that the characterization of
the notes as debt is correct.

     INTEREST ON THE NOTES. An investor will be taxed on the amount of payments
of interest on a note as ordinary interest income at the time it accrues or is
received in accordance with the investor's regular method of accounting for
United States federal income tax purposes. This treatment assumes that all
payments on the notes are denominated in U.S. dollars. It also assumes that the
payment of interest on the notes constitutes "QUALIFIED STATED INTEREST" under
Treasury Regulations relating to original issue discount and that an investor
does not acquire its notes as "STRIPPED NOTES" or at an original issue discount
as discussed below. If these

                                       83
<Page>

assumptions are incorrect with respect to any notes issued by a trust,
additional tax considerations with respect to those notes will be disclosed in
the related prospectus supplement.

     A holder of a note that has a fixed maturity date of not more than one year
from the issue date of that note (which will be referred to in this paragraph as
a "SHORT-TERM NOTE") may be subject to special rules. An accrual basis holder of
a short-term note (and some cash method holders, including regulated investment
companies, as set forth in Section 1281 of the Code) generally would be required
to report interest income as interest accrues on a straight-line basis or under
a constant-yield method over the term of each interest period. Other cash basis
holders of a short-term note would, in general, be required to report interest
income as interest is paid (or, if earlier, upon the taxable disposition of the
short-term note). However, a cash basis holder of a short-term note reporting
interest income as it is paid may be required to defer a portion of any interest
expense otherwise deductible on indebtedness incurred to purchase or carry the
short-term note until the taxable disposition of the short-term note. A cash
basis taxpayer may elect under Section 1281 to accrue interest income on all
nongovernment debt obligations with a term of one year or less, in which case
the taxpayer would not be subject to the interest expense deferral rule referred
to in the preceding sentence. Special rules apply if a short-term note is
purchased for more or less than its principal amount.

     SALE OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF A NOTE. An investor who disposes of a note,
whether by sale, exchange for other property, or payment by the trust, will
recognize taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount
realized on the sale or other disposition, not including any amount attributable
to accrued but unpaid interest which will be taxable as such, and the investor's
adjusted tax basis in the note. In general, an investor's adjusted tax basis in
a note will be equal to the investor's initial purchase price increased by any
accrued original issue discount or market discount previously included in income
by the investor and decreased by the amount of any bond premium previously
amortized and the amount of any payments, other than payments of stated
interest, previously received by the investor with respect to the note. Any gain
or loss recognized upon the sale or other disposition of a note will be capital
gain or loss so long as the note is a "CAPITAL ASSET" in the hands of the
investor. For non-corporate investors, capital gain recognized on the sale or
other disposition of a note held by the investor for more than one year will be
taxed at a maximum rate of 20% (18% in the case of notes held more than five
years). Capital gain for a note held for one year or less is taxed at the rates
applicable to ordinary income, i.e., up to 38.6%. Taxpayers must aggregate
capital gains and losses for each taxable year. In the event a taxpayer realizes
a net capital loss for any year there are limitations on the amount of these
capital losses which can be deducted.

     PURCHASE AT A DISCOUNT. An investor who purchases a note as part of the
initial offering by the trust for an issue price that is less than its "STATED
REDEMPTION PRICE AT MATURITY" will generally be considered to have purchased the
note at an original issue discount for United States federal income tax
purposes. In general, the stated redemption price at maturity for a note is
equal to the principal amount. If a note is acquired with original issue
discount greater than a DE MINIMIS amount (one-fourth of one percent, or 0.25%,
of the note's principal amount or other stated redemption price at maturity
multiplied by the number of full years included in determining the weighted
average maturity of the note) the investor will be required to include in income
each year, taxable as ordinary income, a portion of the original issue discount.
For cash basis investors, such as individuals, the requirement that original
issue discount be accrued as

                                       84
<Page>

income each year means the investor recognizes taxable income in advance of the
receipt of some or all of the cash corresponding to that income. The amount of
original issue discount accrued as income each year is based upon a formula
which looks at the constant yield on the notes and the term to maturity so as to
annually allocate a proportionate share of original issue discount. Under these
rules, investors generally will be required to include in income increasingly
greater amounts of original issue discount in successive accrual periods.

     Generally, an investor that acquires a note that has more than a DE MINIMIS
amount of original issue discount must include in gross income the sum of the
"daily portions" of the original issue discount for each day on which it owns a
note, including the date of purchase but excluding the date of disposition. In
the case of an original holder of a note, the daily portions of original issue
discount with respect to the note generally would be determined as follows. A
calculation will be made of the portion of original issue discount that accrues
on the note during each successive monthly accrual period (or shorter period in
respect of the date of original issue or the final payment date). This will be
done, in the case of each full monthly accrual period, by adding (1) the present
value of all remaining payments to be received on the note under the prepayment
assumption used in respect of the contracts and (2) any payments received during
that accrual period, and subtracting from that total the "adjusted issue price"
of the note at the beginning of that accrual period. The adjusted issue price of
a note at the beginning of the first accrual period is the amount of the
purchase price paid by the holder for the note that is allocable to those
contracts. The adjusted issue price of a note at the beginning of a subsequent
accrual period is the adjusted issue price at the beginning of the immediately
preceding accrual period plus the amount of original issue discount allocable to
that accrual period and reduced by the amount of any payment on the note (other
than qualified stated interest) made at the end of or during that accrual
period. The original issue discount accruing during that accrual period will
then be divided by the number of days in the period to determine the daily
portion of original issue discount for each day in the period. With respect to
an initial accrual period shorter than a full monthly accrual period, the daily
portions of original issue discount must be determined according to a reasonable
method, provided that the method is consistent with the method used to determine
the yield to maturity of the note.

     For purposes of calculating the daily portion of original issue discount to
be accrued as income, the method of determining yield to maturity is not clear,
and in particular it is not clear whether prepayments on the underlying
contracts should be taken into account in determining such yield. In determining
the weighted average maturity of the notes for purposes of calculating original
issue discount, the depositor expects to use a reasonable assumption regarding
prepayment of the contracts owned by the trust. No representation is made as to
the actual prepayments to be made on the contracts. This method of calculating
the accrual of original issue discount will cause the accrual of original issue
discount to either increase or decrease (but never below zero) in any given
accrual period to reflect the fact that prepayments are occurring at a faster or
slower rate than the prepayment assumption used in respect of the contracts. In
determining whether a note has original issue discount, the issue price of the
note may not necessarily equal the investor's purchase price, although they
generally should be the same. The issue price of a note will equal the initial
offering price to the public, not including bond houses, brokers or similar
persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters or wholesalers,
at which price a substantial amount of the notes is sold.

                                       85
<Page>

     If an investor acquires a note in a secondary market transaction for a
purchase price which is less than the principal amount or other amount payable
at maturity of the note, the difference is referred to for tax purposes as
market discount. Similarly to original issue discount, an investor must accrue a
portion of the market discount each year. Unlike original issue discount,
however, an investor does not include accrued market discount in ordinary income
each year. Rather, the aggregate amount of accrued market discount is included
in income when an investor sells or otherwise disposes of the note. At that
time, the portion of the amount realized by the investor on the sale or other
disposition of the note equal to accrued market discount is taxed as ordinary
income, which has a maximum tax rate of 38.6%, rather than the long-term capital
gain maximum tax rate of 20%. The amount of market discount which accrues
annually will be calculated on a straight-line basis over the remaining term to
maturity of the note unless the investor elects to accrue market discount using
a constant-yield method.

     An investor may elect to include market discount in income currently as it
accrues rather than being taxed on the aggregate amount of all accrued market
discount when the note is sold or otherwise disposed of. This election would
apply to all of the investor's debt investments acquired with market discount in
or after the taxable year in which the notes are acquired and not just to the
notes issued by the trust.

     Limitations imposed by the federal tax laws which are intended to match
deductions with the taxation of income may defer deductions for interest paid by
an investor on indebtedness incurred or continued, or short-sale expenses
incurred, to purchase or carry a note with market discount. A noteholder who
elects to include market discount in gross income as it accrues is exempt from
this rule.

     Whenever an investor accrues and includes in income an amount of original
issue discount or market discount, the investor's adjusted basis in the
corresponding note is increased by that same amount. As a result, the investor
would recognize a lower capital gain or greater capital loss on the sale or
other disposition of the note.

     In general, if the amount of original issue discount or market discount
would be less than one-fourth of one percent (0.25%) of the note's principal or
other stated redemption price at maturity multiplied by the number of full years
included in determining the weighted average maturity of the notes, the investor
can disregard the original issue discount or market discount rules.

     PURCHASE AT A PREMIUM. If an investor purchases a note for a price that
exceeds the principal amount or other amount payable at maturity, the investor
will be considered to have an amortizable bond premium. An investor can elect to
accrue a portion of the premium each year as a deduction to offset interest
income on the corresponding note. The amount of premium which can be amortized
and deducted each year is calculated using a constant-yield method over the
remaining term to maturity of the note. The deduction is available only to
offset interest income on the corresponding note; it cannot be used as a
deduction to the extent it exceeds taxable note interest. The adjusted tax basis
which an investor has in a note must be reduced by the amount of premium for
which a deduction is claimed. Because the basis is reduced, the investor would
recognize a larger taxable capital gain, or a smaller capital loss, on the sale
or

                                       86
<Page>

other disposition of the note. If an investor elects to amortize and deduct
premium, the election will apply to all of the investor's debt investments and
not just to the notes.

     If an investor purchases in a secondary market transaction a note which was
originally issued with original issue discount for an amount which is less than
the sum of all amounts payable on the note after the purchase date other than
payments of qualified stated interest but in excess of its adjusted issue price,
i.e., the original issue price plus any accrued original issue discount as those
terms are described above, the excess is referred to for tax purposes as
"ACQUISITION PREMIUM." The investor would be permitted to reduce the daily
portions of original issue discount the investor would otherwise include in
income by an amount corresponding to the ratio of (1) the excess of the
investor's purchase price for the note over the adjusted issue price of the note
as of the purchase date to (2) the excess of all amounts payable on the note
after the purchase date, other than payments of qualified stated interest, over
the note's adjusted issue price.

     ELECTION TO TREAT ALL INTEREST AS ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT. An investor may
elect to include in gross income all interest that accrues on a note using the
constant-yield method described above under the heading "PURCHASE AT A DISCOUNT"
with modifications described below. For purposes of this election, interest
includes qualified stated interest, original issue discount, DE MINIMIS original
issue discount, market discount, DE MINIMIS market discount, and unstated
interest, as adjusted by any amortizable bond premium or acquisition premium.

     In applying the constant-yield method to a note with respect to which this
election has been made, the issue price of the note will equal the electing
investor's adjusted basis in the note immediately after its acquisition. The
issue date of the note will be the date of its acquisition by the electing
investor, and no payments on the note will be treated as payments of qualified
stated interest. This election, if made, may not be revoked without the consent
of the Internal Revenue Service. Investors should consult with their own tax
advisors as to the effect in their circumstances of making this election.

     INFORMATION REPORTING AND BACKUP WITHHOLDING. The trust or an agent acting
on its behalf will be required to report annually to the Internal Revenue
Service, and to each non-corporate noteholder, the amount of interest paid on
the notes for each calendar year. Each non-corporate noteholder, other than
noteholders who are not subject to the reporting requirements, will be required
to provide, under penalties of perjury, a certificate, Form W-9, containing the
noteholder's:

     (1)  name,

     (2)  address,

     (3)  correct federal taxpayer identification number, and

     (4)  a statement that the noteholder is not subject to backup withholding.

Should a non-exempt noteholder fail to provide the required certification, the
trust will be required to withhold or cause to be withheld 30% of the interest
otherwise payable to the

                                       87
<Page>

noteholder and remit the withheld amounts to the Internal Revenue Service as a
credit against the noteholder's federal income tax liability.

     FOREIGN NOTEHOLDERS. Special tax rules apply to the purchase of notes by
foreign persons. For U.S. tax purposes, foreign investors include any person who
is not

     (1) a citizen or resident of the United States,

     (2) a corporation, partnership or other business entity treated as such
created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state or
political subdivision thereof or the District of Columbia,

     (3) an estate the income of which is includible in gross income for U.S.
federal income tax purposes, regardless of its source,

     (4) a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise
primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United
States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the
trust, or

     (5) a trust that has a valid election in effect under applicable United
States Treasury Regulations to be treated as a United States person.

     If a partnership (including for this purpose any entity treated as a
partnership for federal income tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of a note,
the treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the
status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership. A noteholder
that is a partnership and partners in such partnership should consult their tax
advisors about the federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of a
note, as the case may be.

     Interest paid or accrued to a foreign investor holding a note on its own
behalf that is not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business
within the United States by the investor will generally be considered "portfolio
interest" and not be subject to United States federal income tax or withholding
tax as long as the foreign investor is not actually or constructively a 10
percent shareholder of the trust or a controlled foreign corporation related to
the trust through stock ownership or a bank extending credit pursuant to a loan
agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business.
Additionally, the foreign investor must provide or have a financial institution
provide on its behalf to the trust or paying agent an appropriate statement
(Form W-8BEN or successor form), that is signed under penalties of perjury,
certifying that the beneficial owner of the note is a foreign person and
providing that foreign person's name and address. Additional reporting
requirements may apply to interest payments made to a foreign investor that is
not an individual or corporation (or an entity treated as a corporation for
federal income tax purposes) holding the note on its own behalf. If the
information provided in this statement changes, the foreign investor must
provide a new Form W-8BEN (or successor form) within 30 days. If the foreign
investor fails to satisfy these requirements so that interest on the investor's
notes was not portfolio interest, interest payments would be subject to United
States federal income and withholding tax at a rate of 30% unless reduced or
eliminated under an applicable income tax treaty. To qualify for any reduction
as the

                                       88
<Page>

result of an income tax treaty, the foreign investor must provide the paying
agent with Form W-8BEN (or successor form).

     The realization of any capital gain on the sale or other taxable
disposition of a note by a foreign investor will be exempt from United States
federal income and withholding tax, provided that (1) the gain is not
effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United
States by the investor, and (2) in the case of an individual foreign investor,
the investor is not present in the United States for 183 days or more during the
taxable year. If an individual foreign investor is present in the U.S. for 183
days or more during the taxable year, the gain on the sale or other disposition
of the notes could be subject to a 30% withholding tax unless reduced by treaty.

     If the interest, gain or income on a note held by a foreign investor is
effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United
States by the investor, the noteholder will be subject to United States federal
income tax on the interest, gain or income at regular federal income tax rates.
At the same time, the noteholder may be exempt from withholding tax if a Form
W-8ECI (or successor form) is furnished to the paying agent. In addition, if the
foreign investor is a foreign corporation, it may be subject to a branch profits
tax equal to 30% of its "EFFECTIVELY CONNECTED EARNINGS AND PROFITS" for the
taxable year, as adjusted for certain items, unless it qualifies for a lower
rate under an applicable tax treaty.

     If a foreign investor fails to provide necessary documentation to the trust
or its paying agent regarding the investor's taxpayer identification number or
certification of exempt status, a 30% backup withholding tax may be applied to
note payments to that investor. Any amounts withheld under the backup
withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against the foreign
investor's U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information
is furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.

     POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVE TREATMENTS OF THE NOTES. If, contrary to the opinion
of Winston & Strawn, the Internal Revenue Service successfully asserted that one
or more of the notes did not represent debt for federal income tax purposes, the
notes might be treated as equity interests in the trust. If so treated, the
trust might be a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation with the
adverse consequences described above (and the resulting taxable corporation
would not be able to reduce its taxable income by deductions for interest
expense on notes recharacterized as equity). See "--OWNER TRUSTS--TAX
CHARACTERIZATION OF OWNER TRUSTS" in this prospectus. Alternatively, it is
possible that the trust might be treated as a partnership that would not be
taxable as a corporation. However, treatment of the notes as equity interests in
a partnership could have adverse tax consequences to certain holders. For
example, income to certain tax-exempt entities (including pension funds) could
constitute "UNRELATED BUSINESS TAXABLE INCOME"; income to foreign holders
generally would be subject to U.S. tax and U.S. tax return filing and
withholding requirements; individual holders might be subject to certain
limitations on their ability to deduct their share of trust expenses; and income
from the trust's assets would be taxable to noteholders without regard to
whether cash distributions are actually made from the trust or any particular
noteholder's method of accounting.

                                       89

     TAX TREATMENT OF INVESTORS IN CERTIFICATES

     TREATMENT OF TRUST AS A PARTNERSHIP. As mentioned above, in any case where
the trust issues certificates to multiple owners, the trust will be treated by
the depositor as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. The depositor
and the servicer will agree, and each certificateholder will agree by its
purchase of certificates, to treat the trust as a partnership for purposes of
federal and state income tax, franchise tax and any other tax measured in whole
or in part by income, with the assets of the partnership being the assets held
by the trust, the partners of the partnership being the certificateholders, and
the notes being debt of the partnership. The trust, the depositor, and the
certificateholders will take all necessary actions, if any, and refrain from
taking any inconsistent actions, so as to ensure that the trust will be treated
as a partnership under the final Treasury Regulations which allow an entity to
elect status as a partnership.

     A variety of alternative characterizations are possible. For example,
because the certificates have certain features characteristic of debt, the
certificates might be considered debt of the depositor or the trust. Any such
characterization should not result in materially adverse tax consequences to
certificateholders as compared to the consequences from treatment of the
certificates as equity in a partnership, described below. The following
discussion assumes that the certificates represent equity interests in a
partnership and that all payments on the certificates are denominated in U.S.
dollars.

     PARTNERSHIP TAXATION. As a partnership, the trust will not be subject to
federal income tax. Rather, each certificateholder will be required to
separately take into account such holder's allocated share of income, gains,
losses, deductions and credits of the trust. The trust's income will consist
primarily of interest and finance charges earned on the contracts owned by the
trust (including appropriate adjustments for any market discount, original issue
discount and bond premium), any yield supplement deposits and any gain upon
collection or disposition of the contracts. The trust's deductions will consist
primarily of interest accruing with respect to the notes, servicing and other
fees, and losses or deductions upon collection or disposition of the contracts.

     The tax items of a partnership are allocable to the partners in accordance
with the applicable federal income tax laws and the partnership agreement (i.e.,
the trust agreement and related documents). The trust agreement will provide, in
general, that the certificateholders will be allocated taxable income of the
trust for each month equal to the sum of (1) the interest that accrues on the
certificates in accordance with their terms for such month, including interest
accruing at the pass-through rate for such month and interest on amounts
previously due on the certificates but not yet distributed; (2) any trust income
attributable to discount on the contracts that corresponds to any excess of the
principal amount of the certificates over their initial issue price; (3) monthly
prepayment premium payable to the certificateholders; and (4) any other amounts
of income payable to the certificateholders for the month including, for
example, any yield supplement deposits. That allocation of income will be
reduced by any amortization by the trust of premium on contracts that
corresponds to any excess of the issue price of certificates over their
principal amount. All remaining taxable income of the trust will be allocated to
the trust depositor. Based on the economic arrangement of the parties, this
approach for allocating trust income should be permissible under the applicable
Treasury Regulations, although no

                                       90
<Page>

assurance can be given that the Internal Revenue Service would not require a
greater amount of income to be allocated to certificateholders.

     Certificateholders may be allocated income equal to the entire pass-through
rate plus the other items described above, even though the trust might not have
sufficient cash to make current cash distributions equal to that amount. In that
situation, cash basis holders will in effect be required to report income from
the certificates on the accrual basis and certificateholders may become liable
for taxes on trust income even if they have not received cash from the trust to
pay such taxes. In addition, because tax allocations and tax reporting will be
done on a uniform basis for all certificateholders, but certificateholders may
be purchasing certificates at different times and at different prices,
certificateholders may be required to report on their tax returns taxable income
that is greater or less than the amount reported to them by the trust. See the
discussion below under "--ALLOCATIONS BETWEEN TRANSFERORS AND TRANSFEREES."

     Most or all of the taxable income allocated to a certificateholder that is
a tax-exempt entity (including an individual retirement account) will constitute
"UNRELATED BUSINESS TAXABLE INCOME" generally taxable to such a holder for
federal income tax purposes.

     With respect to any certificateholder who is an individual, an individual
taxpayer's share of certain expenses of the trust (including fees to the
servicer, but not interest expense) would be miscellaneous itemized deductions.
Such deductions might be disallowed to the individual in whole or in part and
might result in such holder being taxed on an amount of income that exceeds the
amount of cash actually distributed to such holder over the life of the trust.

     The trust will make all tax calculations relating to income and allocations
to certificateholders on an aggregate basis with respect to the entire pool of
contracts owned by the trust. If the Internal Revenue Service were to require
that such calculations be made separately for each contract, the trust might be
required to incur additional expense but it is believed that there would not be
a material adverse effect on certificateholders.

     DISCOUNT AND PREMIUM. It is believed that the contracts will not be issued
with original issue discount, and, therefore, the trust should not have income
due to the accrual of original issue discount. However, the purchase price paid
by the trust for contracts may be greater or less than the remaining principal
balance of the contracts at the time of purchase. If so, the contracts will have
been acquired at a premium or market discount as the case may be. As indicated
above, the trust will make this calculation on an aggregate basis with respect
to the entire pool of contracts owned by the trust, but might be required to
recompute it on a contract-by contract basis.

     If the trust acquires the contracts at a market discount or premium, it
will elect to include any such discount in income currently as it accrues over
the life of such contracts or to offset any such premium against interest income
on such contracts. See "--TAX TREATMENT OF INVESTORS IN NOTES--PURCHASE AT A
DISCOUNT" and "--PURCHASE AT A PREMIUM" in this prospectus. As indicated above,
a portion of such market discount income or premium deduction may be allocated
to certificateholders.

                                       91
<Page>

     DISTRIBUTIONS TO CERTIFICATEHOLDERS. Certificateholders generally will not
recognize gain or loss with respect to distributions from the trust. A
certificateholder will recognize gain, however, to the extent that any money
distributed exceeds the certificateholder's adjusted basis in the certificates
(as described below under "--DISPOSITION OF CERTIFICATES") immediately before
the distribution. If a certificateholder is required to recognize an aggregate
amount of income (not including income attributable to disallowed itemized
deductions described above) over the life of the certificates that exceeds the
aggregate cash distributions with respect thereto, the amount of that excess
will generally give rise to a capital loss upon the retirement of the
certificates. Any gain or loss will generally be long-term gain or loss if the
holding period of the certificate is more than one year.

     SECTION 708 TERMINATION. Under Section 708 of the Code, if 50% or more of
the outstanding equity interests in the trust are sold or exchanged within any
12-month period, the trust will be deemed to terminate and then be reconstituted
for federal income tax purposes. If such a termination occurs, the assets of the
terminated trust (the "OLD TRUST") are deemed to be constructively contributed
to a reconstituted trust (the "NEW TRUST") in exchange for interests in the new
trust. Such interests would be deemed distributed to the partners, or
certificateholders, of the old trust in liquidation thereof, which would not
constitute a sale or exchange. Accordingly, if the sale of the trust's interests
terminated the partnership under Section 708 of the Code, the
certificateholder's basis in its ownership interest would not change. The
trust's taxable year would also terminate as a result of a constructive
termination and, if the certificateholder was on a different taxable year than
the trust, the termination could result in the bunching of more than twelve
months of the trust's income or loss in the certificateholder's income tax
return for the year in which the trust was deemed to terminate.

     DISPOSITION OF CERTIFICATES. Generally, capital gain or loss will be
recognized on the sale of certificates, so long as the certificate is a "CAPITAL
ASSET" in the hands of the investor, in an amount equal to the difference
between the amount realized and the holder's tax basis in the certificates sold.
A certificateholder's tax basis in a certificate will generally equal the
holder's cost increased by the holder's share of trust income (that was
includible in the certificateholder's income) and decreased by any distributions
received with respect to such certificate. In addition, both the tax basis in
the certificates and the amount realized on a sale of a certificate would
include the holder's share of the notes and other liabilities of the trust. A
holder acquiring certificates at different prices may be required to maintain a
single aggregate adjusted tax basis in all of the certificates, and, upon sale
or other disposition of some of the certificates, allocate a portion of that
aggregate tax basis to the certificates sold (rather than maintaining a separate
tax basis in each certificate for purposes of computing gain or loss on a sale
of that certificate).

     Any gain on the sale of a certificate attributable to the holder's share of
unrecognized accrued market discount on the contracts owned by the trust would
generally be treated as ordinary income to the holder and would give rise to
special tax reporting requirements. The trust does not expect to have any other
assets that would give rise to such special reporting requirements. Thus, to
avoid those special reporting requirements, the trust will elect to include
market discount in income as it accrues as previously stated.

     ALLOCATIONS BETWEEN TRANSFERORS AND TRANSFEREES. In general, the trust's
taxable income and losses will be determined monthly and the tax items for a
particular calendar month

                                       92
<Page>

will be apportioned among the certificateholders in proportion to the principal
amount of certificates owned by them as of the close of the last day of the
month. As a result, a holder purchasing certificates may be allocated tax items
(which will affect its tax liability and tax basis) attributable to periods
before the actual transaction. The use of such a monthly convention may not be
permitted by existing regulations. If a monthly convention is not allowed (or
only applies to transfers of less than all of the partner's interest), taxable
income or losses of the trust might be reallocated among the certificateholders.
The depositor will be authorized to revise the trust's method of allocation
between transferors and transferees to conform to a method permitted by future
regulations.

     SECTION 754 ELECTION. In the event that a certificateholder sells its
certificates at a profit or loss, the purchasing certificateholder will have a
higher or lower basis in the certificates than the selling certificateholder
had. The tax basis of the trust's assets will not be adjusted to reflect that
higher or lower basis unless the trust were to file an election under
Section 754 of the Code. In order to avoid the administrative complexities that
would be involved in keeping accurate accounting records, as well as potentially
onerous information reporting requirements, the trust will not make such
election. As a result, certificateholders might be allocated a greater or lesser
amount of trust income than would be appropriate based on their own purchase
price for certificates.

     ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS. The trustee is required to keep or have kept
complete and accurate books of the trust. Such books will be maintained for
financial reporting and tax purposes on an accrual basis and the fiscal year of
the trust will be the calendar year. The trustee will file a partnership
information return (Form 1065) with the Internal Revenue Service for each
taxable year of the trust and will report each certificateholder's allocable
share of items of trust income and expense to holders and the Internal Revenue
Service on Schedule K-l. The trustee will provide the Schedule K-1 information
to nominees that fail to provide the trust with the information statement
described below and such nominees will be required to forward such information
to the beneficial owners of the certificates. Generally, holders must file tax
returns that are consistent with the information return filed by the trust or be
subject to penalties unless the holder notifies the Internal Revenue Service of
all such inconsistencies.

     Under Section 6031 of the Code, any person that holds certificates as a
nominee at any time during a calendar year is required to furnish the trust with
a statement containing certain information on the nominee, the beneficial owners
and the certificates so held. Such information includes (1) the name, address
and taxpayer identification number of the nominee and (2) as to each beneficial
owner (a) the name, address and identification number of such person, (b)
whether such person is a United States person, a tax-exempt entity, a foreign
government or an international organization, or any wholly owned agency or
instrumentality of either of the foregoing, and (c) certain information on
certificates that were held, bought or sold on behalf of such person throughout
the year. In addition, brokers and financial institutions that hold certificates
through a nominee are required to furnish directly to the trust information as
to themselves and their ownership of certificates (a registered clearing agency
is not required to furnish any such information statements to the trust). The
information referred to above for any calendar year must be furnished to the
trust on or before the following January 31. Nominees,

                                       93
<Page>

brokers and financial institutions that fail to provide the trust with the
information described above may be subject to penalties.

     The trust depositor will be designated as the tax matters partner for the
trust in the trust agreement and, as such, will be responsible for representing
the certificateholders in any dispute with the Internal Revenue Service. The
federal income tax laws provide for administrative examination of a partnership
as if the partnership were a separate and distinct taxpayer. Generally, the
statute of limitations for partnership items does not expire before three years
after the date on which the partnership information return is filed. Any adverse
determination following an audit of the return of the trust by the appropriate
taxing authorities could result in an adjustment of the returns of the
certificateholders, and, under certain circumstances, a certificateholder may be
precluded from separately litigating a proposed adjustment to the items of the
trust. An adjustment could also result in an audit of a certificateholder's
returns and adjustments of items not related to the income and losses of the
trust.

     BACK-UP WITHHOLDING. Distributions made on the certificates and proceeds
from the sale of the certificates will be subject to a back-up withholding tax
of 30% if, in general, the certificateholder fails to comply with certain
identification procedures, unless the holder is an exempt recipient under
applicable tax law provisions. See "--TAX TREATMENT OF INVESTORS IN
NOTES--INFORMATION REPORTING AND BACKUP WITHHOLDING" in this prospectus.

     FOREIGN CERTIFICATEHOLDERS. It is not clear whether the trust would be
considered to be engaged in a trade or business in the United States for
purposes of federal withholding taxes with respect to non-U.S. persons because
there is no clear authority dealing with that issue under facts substantially
similar to those described herein. Nevertheless, the trust will withhold as if
it were so engaged in order to protect the trust from possible adverse
consequences of a failure to withhold. The trust expects to withhold on the
portion of its taxable income that is allocable to foreign certificateholders,
as if such income were effectively connect to a U.S. trade or business, at a
rate of 35% for foreign holders that are taxable as corporations and 38.6% for
all other foreign holders. In determining a holder's withholding status, the
trust may generally rely on Form W-8BEN, Form W-9 (or successor forms) or the
holder's certification of nonforeign status signed under penalties of perjury.

     Each foreign holder might be required to file a U.S. individual or
corporate income tax return (including, in the case of a corporation, the branch
profits tax) on its share of the trust's income. Each foreign holder must obtain
a taxpayer identification number from the Internal Revenue Service and submit
that number to the trust on Form W-8BEN (or successor form) in order to assure
appropriate crediting of the taxes withheld. A foreign holder generally would be
entitled to file with the Internal Revenue Service a claim for refund with
respect to taxes withheld by the trust, taking the position that no taxes were
due because the trust was not engaged in a U.S. trade or business (although no
assurance can be given as to the prospects for success of the refund claim).
However, even if such a position is successful, interest payments made (or
accrued) to a certificateholder who is a foreign person may be considered to be
guaranteed payments, to the extent such payments are determined without regard
to the income of the trust. It is unclear whether the Internal Revenue Service
would agree with that

                                       94
<Page>

characterization. If these interest payments are properly characterized as
guaranteed payments, then the interest will not constitute "PORTFOLIO INTEREST."
As a result, certificateholders would be subject to 30% U.S. withholding tax,
unless reduced or eliminated pursuant to an applicable treaty. In such case, a
foreign holder would only be entitled to claim a refund for that portion of the
taxes in excess of the taxes that should be withheld with respect to the
guaranteed payments.

GRANTOR TRUSTS

     This summary of material federal income tax consequences with respect to
the issuance of certificates by a grantor trust is divided into two parts. The
first part describes characterization of the trust as a grantor trust. The
second part describes taxation of an investor in certificates issued by a
grantor trust.

     TAX CHARACTERIZATION OF GRANTOR TRUSTS

     Winston & Strawn, as federal tax counsel, is of the opinion that if the
prospectus supplement specifies that the trust will be treated as a grantor
trust, it will be classified for federal income tax purposes as a grantor trust
and not as an association (or a publicly traded partnership) taxable as a
corporation and therefore its income will not be subject to the federal income
tax imposed by Subtitle A of the Code. Winston & Strawn is further of the
opinion that, subject to the discussion below under "--STRIPPED BONDS AND
STRIPPED COUPONS", each certificateholder will be treated for federal income tax
purposes as the owner of a pro rata undivided interest in the income and assets
of the trust. This opinion is based on the assumption that the terms of the
pooling and servicing agreement, the certificates and the related documents will
be substantially in the form as filed with this prospectus and will be complied
with.

     For federal income tax purposes, the trust will be deemed to have acquired
the following assets: (1) the principal of each contract, plus a portion of the
interest due on each contract (the "TRUST STRIPPED BONDS"); (2) the portion of
the interest due on each contract not allocable to the Trust Stripped Bonds or
retained by the depositor (the "TRUST STRIPPED COUPONS"); (3) the right to
receive any yield supplement deposits; (4) the proceeds of certain debt
cancellation agreements and insurance policies on the financed assets; (5)
rights under the trust agreement and (6) rights under the security agreement in
favor of the trust securing the depositor's obligation to purchase subsequent
contracts and deliver them to the trust. Although a grantor trust may have
certain rights with respect to a reserve fund, pre-funding account or interest
reserve account, such accounts would not be assets of the trust.

     It is possible, for federal income tax purposes, that the grantor trust may
be viewed as owning a single debt obligation having a principal amount equal to
the total stated principal amount of the entire pool of contracts and an
interest rate equal to the pass-through rate. Accordingly, the owners of
certificates would be viewed as owning an undivided interest in that single debt
obligation. In that case, the tax consequences to the certificate owners would
be the same as owners of notes owned by a trust structured as an owner trust
described above under the heading "--OWNER TRUSTS--TAX TREATMENT OF INVESTORS IN
NOTES."

     The remainder of the discussion in this prospectus assumes that a grantor
trust certificateholder will be treated as owning an interest in each contract,
a portion of the interest

                                       95
<Page>

payable on each contract, any right to receive yield supplement deposits, and
any other assets of the trust. However, for administrative convenience, the
servicer will report information to investors and to the Internal Revenue
Service on an aggregate basis (as though all of the contracts and the rights to
payments under the yield supplement agreement were a single obligation). The
amount and, in some instances, character, of the income reported to a grantor
trust certificateholder may differ under this method for a particular period
from that which would be reported if income were reported on a precise
asset-by-asset basis.

     TAX TREATMENT OF INVESTORS

     CHARACTERIZATION OF INVESTMENT. As mentioned above, Winston & Strawn is of
the opinion that each grantor trust certificateholder will be treated as the
owner of a pro rata undivided interest in each of the contracts in the trust,
any right to receive yield supplement deposits, and any other trust property.
Any amounts received by a grantor trust certificateholder in lieu of amounts due
with respect to any contract because of a default or delinquency in payment will
be treated for federal income tax purposes as having the same character as the
payments they replace.

     In each case where the interest rate on a contract exceeds the sum of the
certificate pass-through rate plus the servicing fee rate, for federal income
tax purposes, the depositor will be treated as having retained a fixed portion
of the interest due on the contract equal to the difference between (1) the
interest rate on each contract and (2) the sum of the pass-through rate and the
servicing fee rate. The depositor's retained yield with respect to the contracts
will be treated as "STRIPPED COUPONS" within the meaning of Section 1286 of the
Code and the contracts will be treated as "STRIPPED BONDS." See "--STRIPPED
BONDS AND STRIPPED Coupons" below.

     Each grantor trust certificateholder will be required to report on its
federal income tax return in accordance with that certificateholder's method of
accounting its pro rata share of the entire income from the contracts in the
trust represented by certificates, including interest, original issue discount,
prepayment fees, assumption fees, any gain recognized upon an assumption, late
payment charges received by the servicer and any gain recognized upon collection
or disposition of the contracts (but not including any portion of the
depositor's retained yield). A grantor trust certificateholder will also be
required to report under its usual method of accounting any payments received
under any yield supplement agreement to the extent that these payments are
treated as income. Each grantor trust certificateholder will be entitled to
deduct its pro rata share of servicing fees, prepayment fees, assumption fees,
any loss recognized upon an assumption, and late payment charges retained by the
servicer, provided that those amounts are reasonable compensation for services
rendered to the trust. Certificateholders that are individuals, estates or
trusts will be entitled to deduct their share of expenses only to the extent
those expenses exceed two percent of its adjusted gross income. Grantor trust
certificateholders who are individuals may be subject to additional deduction
limitations based on adjusted gross income.

     A grantor trust certificateholder using the cash method of accounting must
take into account its pro rata share of income and deductions as and when
collected by or paid to the servicer. A grantor trust certificateholder using an
accrual method of accounting must take into

                                       96
<Page>

account its pro rata share of income and deductions as they become due or are
paid, whichever is earlier. Because (1) interest accrues on the contracts over
differing monthly periods and is paid in arrears and (2) interest collected on a
contract generally is paid to certificateholders in the following month, the
amount of interest accruing to a grantor trust certificateholder during any
calendar month will not equal the interest distributed in that month.

     PURCHASE PRICE ALLOCATION. A certificateholder must allocate the cost of
its certificates among its allocable share of each of the separate assets of the
trust, in accordance with the proportion of the relative fair market values of
the assets as of the date the holder acquired its certificate, in order to
determine its initial tax basis for its pro rata portion of each asset held by
the trust. For this purpose, a certificateholder may treat the trust's rights in
the security interests, the individual insurance contracts, the debt
cancellation agreements, and other rights the trust may have which provide
credit enhancement as part of the contracts such that no separate allocation of
the certificate cost and determination of basis must be made to these rights.

     In addition to the contracts however, the purchase price for certificates
should be allocated to the grantor trust certificateholder's undivided interest
in accrued but unpaid interest, amounts collected at the time of purchase but
not distributed, and, perhaps, rights to receive yield supplement deposits. As a
result, the portion of the purchase price allocable to the grantor trust
certificateholder's undivided interest in the contracts may be decreased. The
allocation of purchase price among the assets is important for purposes of
determining the amount of gain or loss recognized by a certificateholder when
the trust disposes of a contract and for calculating discount or premium with
respect to the contracts, all as discussed below.

     STRIPPED BONDS AND STRIPPED COUPONS. Although the tax treatment of stripped
bonds is not entirely clear, based on guidance from the Internal Revenue
Service, each purchaser of a grantor trust certificate will be treated as the
purchaser of a stripped bond and coupon, to the extent that the contracts
consist of contracts having an interest rate in excess of the sum of the
pass-through rate plus the servicing fee rate. The stripped bond generally
should be treated as a single debt instrument issued on the day it is purchased
for purposes of calculating any original issue discount. Generally, under
applicable Treasury Regulations, if the discount on a stripped bond is larger
than a DE MINIMIS amount (one-fourth of one percent, or 0.25%, of the bond's
principal amount or other stated redemption price at maturity multiplied by the
number of full years included in determining the weighted average maturity of
the bonds) that stripped bond will be considered to have been issued with
original issue discount. See "--OWNER TRUSTS--TAX TREATMENT OF INVESTORS IN
NOTES--PURCHASE AT A DISCOUNT." Although the matter is not entirely clear, each
certificateholder's share of the interest income on the contracts at the sum of
the pass-through rate and the fee servicing rate will be treated as "QUALIFIED
STATED INTEREST." The trustee will treat each holder's share of the interest
income in this manner for tax information reporting purposes. As a result, the
amount of original issue discount for each certificateholder will equal the
amount, if any, by which the portion of the certificate purchase price allocable
to the contracts is less than the remaining principal balance of those
contracts.

     Generally, a certificateholder that acquires an undivided interest in
contracts constituting stripped bonds that have original issue discount
(referred to in this discussion as "stripped contracts") must include in gross
income the sum of the "DAILY PORTIONS" of the original issue

                                       97
<Page>

discount for each day on which it owns a certificate, including the date of
purchase but excluding the date of disposition. In the case of an original
grantor trust certificateholder, the daily portions of original issue discount
with respect to the stripped contracts generally would be determined as follows.
A calculation will be made of the portion of original issue discount that
accrues on those contracts during each successive monthly accrual period (or
shorter period in respect of the date of original issue or the final payment
date). This will be done, in the case of each full monthly accrual period, by
adding (1) the present value of all remaining payments to be received on the
stripped contracts under the prepayment assumption used in respect of the
contracts and (2) any payments received during that accrual period, and
subtracting from that total the "ADJUSTED ISSUE PRICE" of the stripped contracts
at the beginning of that accrual period. The adjusted issue price of the
stripped contracts at the beginning of the first accrual period is the amount of
the purchase price paid by the certificateholder for the certificate that is
allocable to those contracts. The adjusted issue price of the stripped contracts
at the beginning of a subsequent accrual period is the adjusted issue price at
the beginning of the immediately preceding accrual period plus the amount of
original issue discount allocable to that accrual period and reduced by the
amount of any payment on the stripped contracts (other than qualified stated
interest) made at the end of or during that accrual period. The original issue
discount accruing during that accrual period will then be divided by the number
of days in the period to determine the daily portion of original issue discount
for each day in the period. With respect to an initial accrual period shorter
than a full monthly accrual period, the daily portions of original issue
discount must be determined according to a reasonable method, provided that the
method is consistent with the method used to determine the yield to maturity of
the stripped contracts.

     For purposes of calculating the daily portion of original issue discount to
be accrued as income, the method of determining yield to maturity is not clear,
and in particular it is not clear whether prepayments on the underlying
contracts should be taken into account in determining such yield. The method of
calculating the accrual of original issue discount as described above will cause
the accrual of original issue discount to either increase or decrease (but never
below zero) in any given accrual period to reflect the fact that prepayments are
occurring at a faster or slower rate than the prepayment assumption used in
respect of the stripped contracts. Subsequent purchasers that purchase interests
in stripped contracts at more than a DE MINIMIS discount should consult their
tax advisors with respect to the proper method to accrue that original issue
discount.

     PREMIUM. A certificateholder that acquires an interest in contracts at a
premium over the stated redemption price at maturity of the contracts may elect
to amortize that premium under a constant interest method. A premium would occur
if the purchase price for a certificate exceeded the holder's proportionate
share of the remaining payments due on the contracts. Amortizable premium will
be treated as an offset to interest income recognized by the holder on its
grantor trust certificate. However, the holder's tax basis for the grantor trust
certificate will be reduced to the extent that amortizable premium is claimed as
a deduction to offset interest payments. A certificateholder that makes this
election for a grantor trust certificate that is acquired at a premium will be
deemed to have made an election to amortize bond premium with respect to all
debt instruments having amortizable bond premium that the certificateholder
holds during the year of the election or thereafter.

                                       98
<Page>

     It is not clear whether a reasonable prepayment assumption should be used
in computing amortization of premium allowable as a deduction. If a premium is
not subject to amortization using a reasonable prepayment assumption, the holder
of a certificate acquired at a premium should recognize a loss if a contract is
prepaid in full, equal to the difference between the portion of the prepaid
principal amount of that contract that is allocable to the grantor trust
certificate and the portion of the adjusted basis of the certificate that is
allocable to that contract. On the other hand, if a reasonable prepayment
assumption is used in calculating the amount of amortizable premium, it appears
that a loss would be available, if at all, only if prepayments occur at a rate
faster than the reasonable assumed prepayment rate. It is not clear whether any
other adjustments would be required to reflect differences between an assumed
prepayment rate and the actual rate of prepayments.

     YIELD SUPPLEMENT DEPOSITS. A grantor trust may, under certain
circumstances, receive yield supplement deposits to augment the cash flows from
interest income on the contracts. It is possible that the right to receive
payments under a yield supplement agreement will be treated as a separate asset
purchased by each grantor trust certificateholder. Accordingly, as previously
discussed (see "--PURCHASE PRICE ALLOCATION") a portion of each grantor trust
certificateholder's purchase price or other tax basis in the certificate may
have to be allocated to the right to receive payments of yield supplement
deposits based on the fair market value of that right.

     However, the sum of the income and deductions properly reportable by a
certificateholder in any taxable year in which the trust receives yield
supplement deposits may not equal the amounts that would be reportable if a
grantor trust certificateholder, instead of holding its undivided interest in
the contracts and the yield supplement deposits, held either (1) a debt
instrument bearing interest at the applicable pass-through rate or (2) an
interest in a trust holding contracts each of which paid interest at a rate at
least equal to the sum of the pass-through rate plus the servicing fee rate.

     The right to receive yield supplement deposits may be treated as a loan
made by a certificateholder to the depositor in an amount equal to the present
value, discounted at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable pass-through rate
and the servicing fee rate, of the projected yield supplement deposits. In that
event, a portion of the yield supplement deposits generally representing a yield
on such discounted value should be treated as interest includible in income as
accrued or received, and the remainder should be treated as a return of the
principal amount of the deemed loan. Alternatively, it is possible that the
entire amount of each yield supplement deposit should be included in income as
accrued or received, in which event a certificateholder should also be entitled
to amortize the portion of its certificate purchase price allocable to its right
to receive yield supplement deposits.

     The method of calculating that amortization is unclear, and could result in
the inclusion of greater amounts of income than a certificateholder's actual
yield on a contract. In addition, to the extent that the amounts payable
pursuant to a yield supplement agreement decline during any period by reason of
prepayments on the contracts, it is possible that the Internal Revenue Service
might contend that none of the above methods is appropriate, and that income
with respect to the yield supplement deposits should be reported by a
certificateholder in some other manner. It is

                                       99
<Page>

suggested that grantor trust certificateholders consult their tax advisors
regarding the appropriate method of accounting for income attributable to yield
supplement deposits.

     MARKET DISCOUNT. Generally, all discount on an interest in stripped
contracts will be treated as original issue discount under the stripped bond
rules of the Code, and the rules relating to market discount on bonds will not
apply. However, if the difference between the interest rate on the contracts and
the pass-through rate on the certificates were determined to constitute
reasonable compensation for services rendered to the trust, then the stripped
bond rules described above should not apply. In that event, a certificateholder
will be subject to the market discount rules to the extent that its undivided
interest in a contract is considered to have been purchased at a "MARKET
DISCOUNT." Generally, the amount of market discount is equal to the excess of
the portion of the principal amount of a contract allocable to a holder over
that holder's tax basis (i.e., the portion of the certificate purchase price
allocable to that contract). At the present time there is no express authority
for determining whether market discount exists by reference to the entire pool
of contracts rather than on a contract-by-contract basis. Market discount with
respect to a contract will be considered to be zero if the amount allocable to
the contract is less than one-fourth of one percent (0.25%) of the stated
redemption price at maturity of the contracts multiplied by the weighted average
maturity remaining after the date of purchase.

     Any principal payment (whether a scheduled payment or a prepayment) or any
gain on disposition of a market discount instrument is required to be treated as
ordinary income up to the amount of the accrued market discount at that time.
The amount of accrued market discount for purposes of determining the tax
treatment of subsequent principal payments or dispositions of the market
discount debt instrument is reduced by the amount so treated as ordinary income.
Market discount will generally be considered to accrue ratably, unless a
certificateholder elects to accrue on a constant interest method. In addition,
special rules may apply to the determination of the accrual of market discount
where the principal of an instrument is payable in more than one installment.

     A holder who acquired a grantor trust certificate at a market discount may
be required to defer a portion of its interest deductions for the taxable year
attributable to any indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry that
certificate. For these purposes, the DE MINIMIS rule referred to above applies.
Any deferred interest expense would not exceed the market discount that accrues
during that taxable year and is, in general, allowed as a deduction not later
than the year in which the market discount is includible in income. A holder may
elect to include market discount in income currently as it accrues, on either a
ratable or constant interest method, in which case the rule described above
regarding deferral of interest deductions will not apply. A holder's election to
include market discount in income currently, once made, applies to all market
discount obligations acquired by the holder on or after the first taxable year
to which the election applies and may not be revoked without the consent of the
Internal Revenue Service.

     Because Treasury Regulations implementing the market discount rules have
not yet been issued, it is suggested that investors consult their own tax
advisors regarding the application of these rules and the advisability of making
the election to accrue market discount.

                                      100
<Page>

     ELECTION TO TREAT ALL INTEREST AS ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT. The original
issue discount regulations permit a certificateholder to elect to accrue all
interest and discount (including DE MINIMIS discount), offset by any premium, in
income as interest based on a constant-yield method. If that election were to be
made with respect to a grantor trust certificate with market discount, the
grantor trust certificateholder would be deemed to have made an election to
include in income currently market discount with respect to all other debt
instruments having market discount that the certificateholder acquires during
the year of the election or thereafter. Similarly, a certificateholder that
makes this election for a certificate that is acquired at a premium will be
deemed to have made an election to amortize bond premium with respect to all
debt instruments having amortizable bond premium that the certificateholder owns
or acquires. The election to accrue interest, discount and premium on a
constant-yield method with respect to a grantor trust certificate is irrevocable
except with the approval of the Internal Revenue Service.

     SALE OR EXCHANGE OF A CERTIFICATE. Sale or exchange of a grantor trust
certificate prior to its maturity will result in the recognition by the owner of
gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between the amount received and
the owner's adjusted basis in the certificate. The adjusted basis generally will
equal the seller's purchase price for the certificate, increased by any accrued
market discount or original issue discount previously included in the seller's
gross income with respect to the certificate and reduced by the amount of any
previously amortized premium and by the amount of any payments on the
certificate, other than payments of qualified stated interest, previously
received by the seller. That gain or loss will be capital gain or loss to an
owner for which a grantor trust certificate is a "CAPITAL ASSET" and will be
long-term or short-term depending on whether the certificate has been owned for
the long-term capital gain holding period (currently more than one year).

     FOREIGN CERTIFICATEHOLDERS. Interest or discount income attributable to
contracts which is received by a foreign certificateholder will generally not be
subject to the normal 30% withholding tax imposed with respect to such payments,
provided that (1) the foreign certificateholder does not actively or
constructively own 10% or more of the voting equity of the depositor, (2) the
foreign certificateholder is not a controlled foreign corporation within the
meaning of the Code to which the depositor is a related person for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, (3) the foreign certificateholder is not a bank to whom the
certificates would constitute an extension of credit pursuant to a loan
agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business and (4)
the foreign holder fulfills certain certification requirements. Under those
requirements, the holder must certify, under penalties of perjury, that it is
not a "UNITED STATES PERSON" and provide its name and address on Form W-8BEN (or
successor form). For this purpose, United States person generally means (a) a
citizen or resident of the United States, (b) a corporation, partnership or
other business entity treated as such created or organized in or under the laws
of the United States, any state or political subdivision thereof or the District
of Columbia, (c) an estate the income of which is subject to United States
federal income taxation regardless of its source, (d) a trust if a court within
the United States is able to exercise primary jurisdiction over the
administration of the trust and one or more United States persons have the
authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (e) a trust that
has a valid election in effect under applicable United States Treasury
Regulations to be treated as a United States person. Gain realized upon the sale
of a certificate by a foreign certificateholder generally will not be subject to
United States withholding tax. If, however, such interest or gain is effectively

                                      101
<Page>

connected to the conduct of a trade or business within the United States by such
foreign certificateholder (or in the case of gain if the certificateholder is an
individual who is present in the United States for a total of 183 days or more
during the taxable year in which such gain is realized), such holder will be
subject to United States federal income tax thereon at the regular rates and, in
addition, an investor that is a foreign corporation may be subject to a branch
profits tax equal to 30% (or lower applicable treaty rate) of its "effectively
connected earnings and profits" within the meaning of the Code for the taxable
year, as adjusted for certain items.

     It is not entirely clear whether amounts received by a foreign
certificateholder that are attributable to payments of yield supplement deposits
received pursuant to any yield supplement agreement would not be subject to
withholding tax. Potential investors who are not United States persons should
consult their own tax advisors regarding the specific tax consequences to them
of owning a certificate issued by a grantor trust.

     INFORMATION REPORTING AND BACKUP WITHHOLDING. The servicer will furnish or
make available, within a reasonable time after the end of each calendar year, to
each person who was a grantor trust certificateholder at any time during the
year, the information that is deemed necessary or desirable to assist
certificateholders in preparing their federal income tax returns, or to enable
holders to make that information available to beneficial owners or financial
intermediaries that hold grantor trust certificates as nominees on behalf of
beneficial owners. If a non-exempt holder, beneficial owner, financial
intermediary or other recipient of a payment on behalf of a non-exempt
beneficial owner fails to supply a certified taxpayer identification number or
if the Secretary of the Treasury determines that that person has not reported
all interest and dividend income required to be shown on its federal income tax
return, 30% backup withholding may be required with respect to any payments. Any
amounts deducted and withheld from a payment to a recipient would be allowed as
a credit against the recipient's federal income tax liability provided the
required information is furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.

FASITS

     GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF FASIT

     Pursuant to legislation enacted by Congress in 1996, a new type of entity
was created called a "financial asset securitization investment trust," or
FASIT. On February 7, 2000, the Internal Revenue Service released proposed
regulations regarding FASITs. As stated previously in this section of the
prospectus under the caption "GENERAL", the discussion with respect to FASITs is
based upon existing law, including the proposed FASIT regulations, all of which
are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect.

     Treatment of a trust as a FASIT is elective. The FASIT election will be
made by attaching a statement to the income tax return for the owner of the
"OWNERSHIP INTEREST" in the FASIT (as that interest is described below) for the
taxable year that includes the startup day of the FASIT. The owner of the
ownership interest may be the depositor or it may be an independent third party.
There is no prescribed form for the statement electing FASIT status. If, as is
likely to be the case, an entity is formed to be the FASIT, the election
statement must be signed by the person who would be responsible for signing the
entity's tax return in the absence of FASIT treatment. On the other hand, if
instead of a separate entity the FASIT election is only

                                      102
<Page>

to apply to a segregated pool of assets, the election statement must be signed
by each person who is the owner, for federal income tax purposes, of assets in
the pool immediately before the startup day of the FASIT.

     If a FASIT election is made for a trust, the accompanying prospectus
supplement will so indicate. For each trust as to which one or more FASIT
elections are made, Winston & Strawn, as federal tax counsel, is of the opinion
that the trust, or one or more segregated pools of trust assets, will be treated
as a FASIT, and therefore its income will not be subject to the federal income
tax imposed by Subtitle A of the Code, assuming that there is (1) compliance
with the terms of the pooling agreement (or similar governing documents
pertaining to the acquisition of assets by the trust) and (2) compliance with
any changes in the federal income tax laws pertaining to FASITs, including
applicable provisions of the Code, the proposed FASIT regulations or other
treasury regulations, or any judicial or administrative interpretations of the
Code or regulations. The opinion is also based on the assumptions that the
pooling agreement (or similar governing documents) will require that
substantially all of the trust assets consist only of "PERMITTED ASSETS", as
described below and also will contain certain other restrictions necessary for
the trust to be and continue to qualify as a FASIT. Based upon those
assumptions, Winston & Strawn is of the opinion that each trust, or one or more
segregated pools of trust assets, for which a FASIT election is made is
organized, operated and will continue to operate in a manner so as to qualify
for FASIT status. Winston & Strawn in further of the opinion that the regular
interests issued by each trust, or one or more segregated pools of trust assets,
so qualifying for FASIT status will be treated as debt for federal income tax
purposes.

     Although the Internal Revenue Service published regulations in proposed
form with respect to FASITs, the regulations are only in proposed form and do
not attempt to deal with all aspects of FASIT taxation. Accordingly, definitive
statements cannot be made with respect to many aspects of the tax treatment of
FASITs and the holders of certificates issued by FASITs. Investors should also
note that the following FASIT discussion constitutes only a summary of the
United States federal income tax consequences to FASIT certificateholders. With
respect to each series of FASIT certificates, the related prospectus supplement
will provide a detailed discussion regarding the federal income tax consequences
associated with the particular transaction.

     FASIT REQUIREMENTS

     A trust fund can qualify to elect FASIT status if it is not a "REGULATED
INVESTMENT COMPANY" as described in Section 851(a) of the Code, it issues only
"REGULAR INTERESTS" and one "OWNERSHIP INTEREST" (as described below), and
substantially all of its assets are "permitted assets." For this purpose,
permitted assets include (1) cash and cash equivalents, (2) any debt instrument
that provides for interest payments which (A) are payable based on a fixed rate
or certain variable rates, or (B) consist of a specified portion of the interest
payments on the trust assets, which portion does not vary during the period such
interest is outstanding, (3) foreclosure property, (4) certain hedging
instruments (i.e., swap contracts, futures contracts, and guarantee
arrangements) intended to hedge against the risks associated with being the
obligor on FASIT regular interests, (5) contract rights to acquire debt
instruments described in (2) above or hedges described in (4) above, and (6) any
regular interest in a real estate mortgage investment conduit, or REMIC, or in
another FASIT. The term "permitted asset" does not, however, include any

                                      103
<Page>

debt instrument issued by the holder of the ownership interest or any person
related to such holder.

     In order for substantially all of a FASIT's assets to consist of permitted
assets, the aggregate adjusted basis of assets held by the FASIT which are not
permitted assets must be less than 1% of the aggregate adjusted basis of all of
the FASIT's assets. The pooling agreement (or similar governing documents) for
each FASIT will require that substantially all of the FASIT's assets consist of
permitted assets at all times. However, there is the possibility that changes in
the assets owned by the FASIT could adversely affect the ability of the FASIT to
comply with the permitted asset requirement. Failure of the FASIT to comply with
this requirement could cause it to lose FASIT status, however, certain
mitigation provisions exist which may be available.

     The Code does not provide comprehensive rules describing the consequences
of a cessation of FASIT status. Under the proposed regulations the owner of the
FASIT ownership interest would be deemed to dispose of all of the FASIT's assets
in a "PROHIBITED TRANSACTION" and any gain would be subject to the prohibited
transactions tax. The regular interests will be deemed satisfied for an amount
which could generate cancellation of indebtedness income for the owner of the
FASIT ownership interest. The FASIT which ceased to so qualify would, under the
proposed rules, no longer be treated as a FASIT and would be prohibited from
making a new FASIT election without the approval of the Internal Revenue
Service. The trust would then be classified under general tax principles. In
that event, the trust could be treated as an association or other entity subject
to an entity level tax. Under the proposed rules, the regular interests owned by
investors would be deemed to be exchanged for interests in the reclassified
entity, which exchange could result in the recognition of gain by those
investors. No loss may be recognized on the exchange. Any of the foregoing could
adversely affect investors.

     TAX TREATMENT OF INVESTORS

     FASIT interests will be classified as either FASIT regular interests, as to
which Winston & Strawn is of the opinion that they will be treated as debt for
federal income tax purposes, or a FASIT ownership interest, which is not treated
as debt for such purposes, but rather represents the residual equity interest in
a FASIT. The tax treatment of each type of interest is discussed briefly below.

     REGULAR INTERESTS. The terms of a FASIT regular interest generally must
satisfy the following requirements: (1) a stated maturity of no greater than 30
years, (2) a specified principal amount, (3) the issue price of the interest
does not exceed 125% of its stated principal amount, (4) the yield to maturity
of the interest is less than the applicable federal rate published by the
Internal Revenue Service for the month of issue plus five percentage points, and
(5) if it pays interest, such interest is payable at either (a) a fixed rate
with respect to the principal amount of the regular interest or (b) certain
permissible variable rates with respect to such principal amount. Regular
interests which do not meet certain of those requirements, referred to as
"HIGH-YIELD INTERESTS," may be issued by a FASIT but are permitted to be held by
only certain types of investors such as domestic "C" corporations and other
FASITs. Certain other limitations also

                                      104
<Page>

apply to high-yield interests, such as limits on the amount of FASIT interest
income able to be offset by non-FASIT losses and deductions otherwise available
to the owner of the interest.

     FASIT regular interests generally will be subject to the same federal
income tax treatment as applies to debt instruments generally. See "--OWNER
TRUSTS--TAX TREATMENT OF INVESTORS IN NOTES" in this prospectus. One significant
difference, however, is that the holder of a FASIT regular interest must report
income from its interest under the accrual method of accounting, even if it
otherwise uses the cash receipts and disbursement method. The sale or other
disposition of a FASIT regular interest generally will be subject to the same
rules as apply to debt instruments generally.

     OWNERSHIP INTEREST. One interest issued by a trust electing to be treated
as a FASIT will be designated as the sole ownership interest in the FASIT. The
ownership interest need not have any particular economic characteristics.
However, the ownership interest must be held directly at all times by an
"ELIGIBLE CORPORATION" which includes a domestic "C" corporation that is subject
to tax and is not a pass-through entity for tax purposes such as a regulated
investment company, real estate investment trust, real estate mortgage
investment conduit, or cooperative.

     Because the ownership interest represents the residual equity interest in a
FASIT, the holder of a FASIT ownership interest determines its taxable income by
taking into account all assets, liabilities, and items of income, gain,
deduction, loss and credit of the related FASIT. In general the character of the
income to the holder of a FASIT ownership interest will be the same as the
character of such income to the FASIT, except that any tax-exempt interest
income taken into account by the holder of a FASIT ownership interest is treated
as ordinary income. In determining that taxable income, the holder of a FASIT
ownership interest must use a constant-yield methodology and an accrual method
of accounting and generally will be subject to the same rules of taxation for
original issue discount, market discount, and amortizable premium as apply to
debt instruments generally. See "--OWNER TRUSTS--TAX TREATMENT OF INVESTORS IN
NOTES--PURCHASE AT A DISCOUNT" and "--PURCHASE AT A PREMIUM" in this prospectus.
In addition, a holder of a FASIT ownership interest is subject to the same
limitations on its ability to use non-FASIT losses and deductions to offset
income from the FASIT ownership interest as are holders of FASIT high-yield
regular interests.

     Losses on dispositions of a FASIT ownership interest generally will be
disallowed as a deduction if within six months before or after the disposition,
the seller of the interest acquires any other FASIT ownership interest.

                              ERISA CONSIDERATIONS

     Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended ("ERISA") and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit a pension,
profit-sharing or other employee benefit plan, as well as individual retirement
accounts and some types of Keogh Plans (each a "Benefit Plan"), from engaging in
transactions involving "plan assets" with persons that are "parties in interest"
under ERISA or "disqualified persons" under the Code with respect to that
Benefit Plan. A violation of these "prohibited transaction" rules may result in
an excise tax or other penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code for
those persons. Employee benefit

                                      105
<Page>

plans that are governmental plans (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA) and
some church plans (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA) are not subject to
ERISA requirements nor to Section 4975 of the Code. However, governmental plans
may be subject to state or local laws that impose similar requirements. In
addition, governmental plans and church plans that are "qualified" under
Section 401(a) of the Code are subject to restrictions with respect to
prohibited transactions under Section 503(a)(1)(B) of the Code, the sanction for
violation being loss of "qualified" status.

     Certain exemptions from the prohibited transaction rules could be
applicable to the purchase and holding of securities by a Benefit Plan depending
on the type and circumstances of the plan fiduciary making the decision to
acquire the securities. Potentially available exemptions would include, without
limitation, Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 90-1, which exempts
certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts; PTCE
95-60, which exempts certain transactions involving insurance company general
accounts; PTCE 91-38, which exempts certain transactions involving bank
collective investment funds; PTCE 84-14, which exempts certain transactions
effected on behalf of a plan by a "qualified professional asset manager"; and
PTCE 96-23, which exempts certain transactions effected on behalf of a plan by
an "in-house asset manager." Insurance company general accounts should also
discuss with their legal counsel the availability of exemptive relief under
Section 401(c) of ERISA. A purchaser of securities should be aware, however,
that even if the conditions specified in one or more exemptions are met, the
scope of the relief provided by the applicable exemption or exemptions might not
cover all acts that might be construed as prohibited transactions.

     ERISA also imposes certain duties on persons who are fiduciaries of Benefit
Plans subject to ERISA, including the requirements of investment prudence and
diversification, and the requirement that such a Benefit Plan's investments be
made in accordance with the documents governing the Benefit Plan. Under ERISA,
any person who exercises any authority or control respecting the management or
disposition of the assets of a Benefit Plan is considered to be a fiduciary of
such Benefit Plan. Benefit Plan fiduciaries must determine whether the
acquisition and holding of securities and the operations of the trust would
result in prohibited transactions if Benefit Plans that purchase the securities
were deemed to own an interest in the underlying assets of the trust under the
rules discussed below. There may also be an improper delegation of the
responsibility to manage Benefit Plan assets if Benefit Plans that purchase the
securities are deemed to own an interest in the underlying assets of the trust.

     Some transactions involving a trust might be deemed to constitute
prohibited transactions under ERISA and the Code with respect to a Benefit Plan
that purchased notes or certificates if assets of the trust were deemed to be
assets of the Benefit Plan. Under a regulation issued by the United States
Department of Labor (the "Plan Assets Regulation"), the assets of a trust would
be treated as plan assets of a Benefit Plan for the purposes of ERISA and the
Code only if the Benefit Plan acquired an "equity interest" in the trust and
none of the exceptions contained in the Plan Assets Regulation was applicable.
An equity interest is defined under the Plan Assets Regulation as an interest
other than an instrument which is treated as indebtedness under applicable local
law and which has no substantial equity features. The likely treatment in this
context of notes and certificates of a given series will be discussed in your
prospectus supplement. However, it is anticipated that the certificates will be
considered equity interests in

                                      106
<Page>

the trust for purposes of the Plan Assets Regulation, and that the assets of the
trust may therefore constitute plan assets if certificates are acquired by
Benefit Plans. In such event, the fiduciary and prohibited transaction
restrictions of ERISA and section 4975 of the Code would apply to transactions
involving the assets of the trust. As a result, except in the case of
certificates with respect to which the Exemption is available (as described
below), certificates generally shall not be transferred and the trustee shall
not register any proposed transfer of certificates unless it receives (i) a
representation substantially to the effect that the proposed transferee is not a
Benefit Plan and is not acquiring the certificates on behalf of or with the
assets of a Benefit Plan (including assets that may be held in an insurance
company's separate or general accounts where assets in such accounts may be
deemed "plan assets" for purposes of ERISA), or (ii) an opinion of counsel in
form and substance satisfactory to the trustee and the depositor that the
purchase or holding of the certificates by or on behalf of a Benefit Plan will
not constitute a prohibited transaction, will not result in the assets of the
trust being deemed to be "plan assets" and subject to the fiduciary
responsibility provisions of ERISA or the prohibited transaction provisions of
ERISA and the Code or any similar law or and will not subject any trustee, the
certificate administrator or the depositor to any obligation in addition to
those undertaken in the trust agreement.

     CERTIFICATES ISSUED BY TRUSTS

     Unless otherwise specified in your prospectus supplement, the following
discussion applies only to certificates with investment-grade ratings issued by
a trust.

     The U.S. Department of Labor (the "DOL") has granted to the lead
underwriter named in your prospectus supplement an exemption (the "Exemption")
from certain of the prohibited transaction rules of ERISA with respect to the
initial purchase, the holding and the subsequent resale by Benefit Plans of
certificates representing interests in asset-backed pass-through trusts that
consist of certain receivables, loans and other obligations that meet the
conditions and requirements of the Exemption. The receivables covered by the
Exemption include fully-secured motor vehicle installment sales contracts and
promissory notes and security agreements like those contained in the trust. The
Exemption may apply to the acquisition, holding and resale of the certificates
by a Benefit Plan, provided that certain conditions (certain of which are
described below) are met.

     Among the conditions which must be satisfied for the Exemption to apply to
the certificates are the following:

          (1)     The acquisition of the certificates by a Benefit Plan is on
     terms (including the price for the certificates) that are at least as
     favorable to the Benefit Plan as they would be in an arm's length
     transaction with an unrelated party;

          (2)     The certificates acquired by the Benefit Plan have received a
     rating at the time of such acquisition that is in one of the four highest
     generic rating categories from Standard & Poor's Rating Services, a
     division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., Moody's Investors Service,
     Inc. or Fitch, Inc.;

                                      107
<Page>

          (3)     The trustee is not an affiliate of any other member of the
     Restricted Group (as defined below) other than an underwriter;

          (4)     The sum of all payments made to and retained by the
     underwriters in connection with the distribution of the certificates
     represents not more than reasonable compensation for underwriting the
     certificates; the sum of all payments made to and retained by the seller
     pursuant to the sale of the receivables to the trust represents not more
     than the fair market value of such receivables; and the sum of all payments
     made to and retained by any servicer represents not more than reasonable
     compensation for that servicer's services under the sale and servicing
     agreement or pooling and servicing agreement and reimbursement of the
     servicer's reasonable expenses in connection therewith; and

          (5)     The Benefit Plan investing in certificates is an "accredited
     investor" as defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D of the Securities
     and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933.

     On July 21, 1997, the DOL published in the Federal Register an amendment to
the Exemption, which extends exemptive relief to certain mortgage-backed and
asset-backed securities transactions using pre-funding accounts for trusts
issuing pass-through certificates. The amendment generally allows mortgage loans
or other secured receivables supporting payments to certificateholders, and
having a value equal to no more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total
principal amount of the certificates being offered by the trust, to be
transferred to the trust within a 90-day or three-month period following the
closing date, instead of requiring that all such receivables be either
identified or transferred on or before the closing date. The relief is available
when the pre-funding account satisfies certain conditions.

     The Exemption would also provide relief from certain self-dealing/conflict
of interest prohibited transactions that may occur when the fiduciary (or its
affiliate) is an obligor on receivables held in the trust only if, among other
requirements, (i) in the case of the acquisition of certificates in connection
with the initial issuance, at least fifty (50) percent of each class of
certificates in which Benefit Plans invest and at least fifty (50) percent of
the aggregate interest in the trust are acquired by persons independent of the
Restricted Group (as defined below), (ii) such fiduciary (or its affiliate) is
an obligor with respect to five (5) percent or less of the fair market value of
the obligations contained in the trust, (iii) the Benefit Plan's investment in
certificates of any class does not exceed twenty-five (25) percent of all of the
certificates of that class outstanding at the time of the acquisition, and (iv)
immediately after the acquisition, no more than twenty-five (25) percent of the
assets of any Benefit Plan with respect to which the fiduciary has discretionary
authority or renders investment advice are invested in certificates representing
an interest in one or more trusts containing assets sold or serviced by the same
entity. This relief is not available to fiduciaries of Benefit Plans sponsored
by the seller, any underwriter, the trustee, any servicer, any obligor with
respect to receivables included in the trust constituting more than five percent
of the aggregate unamortized principal balance of the assets in the trust, any
counterparty to an eligible swap agreement included in the trust, or any
affiliate of, such parties (the "Restricted Group").

                                      108
<Page>

     Your prospectus supplement for each series of securities will indicate the
classes of securities, if any, offered thereby to which it is expected that the
Exemption will apply.

     Due to the complexities of the "prohibited transaction" rules and the
penalties imposed upon persons involved in prohibited transactions, it is
important that the fiduciary of any Benefit Plan considering the purchase of
securities consult with its tax and/or legal advisors regarding whether the
assets of the related trust would be considered plan assets, the possibility of
exemptive relief from the prohibited transaction rules and other issues and
their potential consequences. Moreover, each Benefit Plan fiduciary should
determine whether, under the general fiduciary standards of investment prudence
and diversification, an investment in the securities is appropriate for the
Benefit Plan, taking into account the overall investment policy of the Benefit
Plan and the composition of the Benefit Plan's investment portfolio.

                            RATINGS OF THE SECURITIES

     No trust will sell securities under this prospectus unless one or more
nationally recognized statistical rating organizations rate the offered
securities in one of the four highest rating categories. Any rating that is made
may be lowered or withdrawn by the assigning rating agency at any time if, in
its judgment, circumstances so warrant. If a rating or ratings of securities is
qualified, reduced or withdrawn, no person or entity will be obligated to
provide any additional credit enhancement with respect to the securities so
qualified, reduced or withdrawn.

     The ratings of the securities should be evaluated independently from
similar ratings on other types of securities. A rating is not a recommendation
to buy, sell or hold securities, inasmuch as a rating does not comment as to
market price or suitability for a particular investor. The ratings of the
securities do not address the likelihood of payment of principal on any class of
securities prior to the stated maturity date of the securities, or the
possibility of the imposition of United States withholding tax with respect to
non-United States persons.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     Each trust may sell securities to or through underwriters by a negotiated
firm commitment underwriting and public reoffering by the underwriters, and also
may sell securities directly to other purchasers or through agents. The
depositor intends to offer the securities through these various methods from
time to time.

     The seller, the depositor and certain of its affiliates may agree to
indemnify the underwriters and agents who participate in the distribution of the
securities against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or contribute to payments the underwritten
may be required to make.

     Funds in cash collateral accounts and the trust accounts may, from time to
time, be invested in certain investments acquired from the underwriters.

                                  LEGAL MATTERS

     Winston & Strawn, Chicago, Illinois, will provide a legal opinion relating
to the securities in its capacity as special counsel to the trust, the
depositor, the seller and the servicer.

                                      109
<Page>

In addition, certain United States federal income tax matters will be passed
upon for the related trust by Winston & Strawn. Other legal matters for the
underwriters will be passed upon by counsel to the underwriters.
