     Section 6.07 Intention of the Parties; Security Interest.

          (a) Each transfer and assignment contemplated by this Agreement shall
constitute a sale in part, and a contribution to capital in part, of the Loans
from the Loan Originator to the Depositor. Upon the consummation of those
transactions the Loans shall be owned by and the property of the Depositor, and
not owned by or otherwise the property of, the Loan Originator for any purpose
including without limitation any bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency,
liquidation, conservatorship or similar proceeding relating to either the Loan
Originator or the Depositor or any property of either. The parties hereto hereby
acknowledge that the Depositor and its creditors are relying, and its subsequent
transferees and their creditors will rely, on such sales and contributions being
recognized as such. If (A) any transfer and assignment contemplated hereby is
subsequently determined for any reason under any circumstances to constitute a
transfer to secure a loan rather than a sale in part, and a contribution in
part, of the Loans or (B) any Loan is otherwise held to be property of the Loan
Originator, then this Agreement (i) is and shall be a security agreement within
the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code and
(ii) shall constitute a grant by the Loan Originator to the Depositor of a
security interest in all of the Loan Originator’s right, title and other
ownership interest in and to the Loans and the proceeds and other distributions
and payments and general intangibles and other rights and benefits in respect
thereof. For purposes of perfecting that security interest under any applicable
Uniform Commercial Code, the possession by, and notices and other communications
with respect thereto to and from, the Depositor or any agent thereof, of money,
notes and other documents evidencing ownership of

9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

and other rights with respect to the Loans shall be “possession” by the secured
party or purchaser and required notices and other communications to and from
applicable financial intermediaries, bailees and other agents.

          (b) The Loan Originator at its expense shall take such actions as may
be necessary or reasonably requested by the Depositor to ensure the perfection,
and priority to all other security interests, of the security interest described
in the preceding paragraph including without limitation the execution and
delivery of such financing statements and amendments thereto, continuation
statements and other documents as the Depositor may reasonably request.

     Section 6.08 Successors and Assigns; Assignment of Agreement. This
Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Loan
Originator, the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholder. The
obligations of the Loan Originator under this Agreement cannot be assigned or
delegated to a third party without the consent of each of the Depositor and the
Noteholder, which consent shall be at each such Person’s sole discretion. The
parties hereto acknowledge that the Depositor is acquiring the Loans for the
purpose of contributing them to the Trust that will issue the related Notes,
which will be secured by such Loans. As an inducement to the Depositor to
purchase the Loans and to the Noteholder to purchase the Note, the Loan
Originator acknowledges and consents to the assignment by the Depositor to the
Trust of all of the Depositor’s rights against the Loan Originator pursuant to
this Agreement and to the enforcement or exercise of any right or remedy against
the Loan Originator pursuant to this Agreement by the Owner Trustee, for the
benefit of the Issuer and the Noteholders, under the related Sale and Servicing
