Certain capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto elsewhere in this Prospectus. See the Glossary of Terms for the location herein of certain capitalized terms. Trust..................... Fleetwood Credit 1997-B Grantor Trust. Seller.................... Fleetwood Credit Receivables Corp. (the "Seller"), a wholly owned, limited purpose subsidiary of Fleetwood Credit Corp. Servicer.................. Fleetwood Credit Corp. ("Fleetwood Credit" or, in its capacity as Servicer, the "Servicer"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Associates First Capital Corporation. See "The Servicer." Securities Offered........ The Fleetwood Credit 1997-B Grantor Trust Asset Backed Certificates (the "Certificates") will consist of one class of senior certificates (the "Class A Certificates") and one class of subordinated certificates (the "Class B Certificates"). Each Certificate will represent a fractional undivided interest in the Trust. The property of the Trust will consist primarily of a pool of simple interest retail installment sale contracts (the "Receivables") secured by the new and used recreational vehicles financed thereby (the "Financed Vehicles"), certain monies due under the Receivables on and after September 1, 1997 (the "Cutoff Date"), security interests in the Financed Vehicles, an interest bearing account initially established with the Trustee (the "Certificate Account") and the proceeds thereof, proceeds from claims under certain insurance policies in respect of individual Financed Vehicles or the related Obligors, and certain rights under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to be dated as of September 1, 1997 (the "Agreement"), among the Seller, the Servicer and , as trustee (the "Trustee"). See "Property of the Trust." The Class A Certificates will evidence in the aggregate an undivided ownership interest (the "Class A Percentage") of % of the Trust (initially representing $ ) and the Class B Certificates will evidence in the aggregate an undivided ownership interest (the "Class B Percentage") of % of the Trust (initially representing $ ). The Class B Certificates will be subordinated to the Class A Certificates to the limited extent described herein. The Certificates will be issued pursuant to the Agreement in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. Registration of the Certificates............ Each Class of Certificates will initially be represented by one or more certificates registered in the name of Cede & Co. ("Cede"), as the nominee of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"). No person acquiring an interest in the Class A Certificates (each, a "Class A Certificate Owner") or the Class B Certificates (each, a "Class B Certificate Owner" and, together with the Class A Certificate Owners, the "Certificate Owners") will be entitled to receive a definitive certificate representing such person's interest, except in the event that Definitive Certificates of the related Class are issued under the limited circumstances described herein. Unless and until Certificates of a Class are issued in definitive form, all references herein to distributions, 3 5 notices, reports and statements to and to actions by and effects upon the related Certificateholders will refer to the same actions and effects with respect to DTC or Cede, as the case may be, for the benefit of the related Certificate Owners in accordance with DTC procedures. See "The Certificates -- General," "-- Book-Entry Registration" and "-- Definitive Certificates." Class A Pass-Through Rate...................... % per annum, calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months (the "Class A Pass-Through Rate"), payable monthly. Class B Pass-Through Rate...................... % per annum, calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months (the "Class B Pass-Through Rate"), payable monthly. The Receivables........... The Receivables arise from simple interest retail installment sale contracts originated by dealers in new and used recreational vehicles (the "Dealers") which are purchased by Fleetwood Credit. All of the Receivables will be selected from the contracts owned by Fleetwood Credit based upon the criteria described under "The Receivables" and "The Certificates -- Sale and Assignment of the Receivables." On or before the date of initial issuance of the Certificates (the "Closing Date"), Fleetwood Credit will sell the Receivables to the Seller pursuant to a receivables purchase agreement to be dated as of September 1, 1997 (the "Receivables Purchase Agreement"), between the Seller and Fleetwood Credit. The Seller, in turn, will sell the Receivables to the Trust pursuant to the Agreement. As of the Cutoff Date, the Receivables had an aggregate principal balance of $ , a weighted average annual percentage rate (the "APR") of %, a weighted average original maturity of months and a weighted average remaining maturity of months. Interest.................. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee will distribute (i) to holders of the Class A Certificates (the "Class A Certificateholders") of record as of the last day of the immediately preceding calendar month (the "Record Date") interest in an amount equal to one-twelfth of the product of the Class A Pass-Through Rate and the Class A Certificate Balance as of the first day of the immediately preceding Collection Period (after giving effect to distributions of principal to be made on the Distribution Date occurring in such immediately preceding Collection Period) or, in the case of the first Distribution Date, the Original Class A Certificate Balance and (ii) to holders of the Class B Certificates (the "Class B Certificateholders" and, together with the Class A Certificateholders, the "Certificateholders") of record as of the related Record Date interest in an amount equal to one-twelfth of the product of the Class B Pass-Through Rate and the Class B Certificate Balance as of the first day of the immediately preceding Collection Period (after giving effect to distributions of principal to be made on the Distribution Date occurring in such immediately preceding Collection Period) or, in the case of the first Distribution Date, the Original Class B Certificate Balance. The rights of the Class B Certificateholders to receive distributions of interest, to the extent of collections on or in respect of the Receivables allocable to interest and certain available amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund, will be subordinated to the rights of Class A Certificateholders to receive 4 6 distributions of interest, but will not be subordinated to the rights of Class A Certificateholders to receive distributions of principal, as described herein. The "Class A Certificate Balance" will initially equal $ (the "Original Class A Certificate Balance") and on any Distribution Date will equal the Original Class A Certificate Balance, reduced by all distributions actually made on or prior to such Distribution Date to Class A Certificateholders. The "Class B Certificate Balance" will initially equal $ (the "Original Class B Certificate Balance") and on any Distribution Date will equal the Original Class B Certificate Balance, reduced by (i) all distributions actually made on or prior to such Distribution Date to Class B Certificateholders and (ii) Realized Losses allocable to the Class B Certificates. See "The Certificates -- Distributions on the Certificates." Principal................. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee will distribute pro rata (i) to Class A Certificateholders of record as of the related Record Date an amount equal to the Class A Percentage of all payments received by the Servicer during the immediately preceding calendar month (each, a "Collection Period") allocable to principal on or in respect of the Receivables and (ii) to Class B Certificateholders of record as of the related Record Date an amount equal to the Class B Percentage of all payments received by the Servicer during the related Collection Period allocable to principal on or in respect of the Receivables. The rights of the Class B Certificateholders to receive distributions of principal will be subordinated to the rights of the Class A Certificateholders to receive distributions of interest and principal to the limited extent described herein. Distribution Dates........ The 15th day of each month (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), beginning October 15, 1997. The final scheduled Distribution Date (the "Final Scheduled Distribution Date") will be the Distribution Date, the Distribution Date in the sixth month after the month in which the Receivable with the latest maturity is scheduled to mature. Subordination of the Class B Certificates; Reserve Fund............ The rights of the Class B Certificateholders to receive distributions with respect to the Receivables will be subordinated to the rights of the Class A Certificateholders to the limited extent described herein. This subordination is intended to enhance the likelihood of timely receipt by Class A Certificateholders of the full amount of interest and principal required to be paid to them, and to afford such Class A Certificateholders limited protection against losses in respect of the Receivables. No distribution will be made to the Class B Certificateholders on any Distribution Date in respect of (i) interest until the full amount of interest on the Class A Certificates payable on such Distribution Date has been distributed to the Class A Certificateholders and (ii) principal until the full amount of interest on and principal of the Class A Certificates payable on such Distribution Date has been distributed to the Class A Certificateholders. Distributions of interest on the Class B Certificates, to the extent of collections on or in respect of the Receiv- 5 7 ables allocable to interest and certain available amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund, will not be subordinated to the payment of principal on the Class A Certificates. The protection afforded to the Class A Certificateholders by the subordination feature described above will be effected both by the preferential right of the Class A Certificateholders to receive, to the extent described herein, current distributions from collections on or in respect of the Receivables and by the establishment of a segregated trust account held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders (the "Reserve Fund"). The Reserve Fund will not be part of the Trust. The Reserve Fund will be funded by the Seller on the Closing Date in an amount equal to $ . Thereafter, on each Distribution Date all Excess Amounts, if any, will be deposited from time to time in the Reserve Fund to the extent necessary to maintain the Reserve Fund at an amount to be specified in the Agreement (the "Specified Reserve Fund Balance"). "Excess Amounts" in respect of a Distribution Date will be all interest collections on or in respect of the Receivables on deposit in the Certificate Account in respect of such Distribution Date, after the Servicer has been reimbursed for any outstanding Advances and has been paid the Servicing Fee (including any unpaid Servicing Fees with respect to one or more prior Collection Periods) and after giving effect to all distributions of interest and principal required to be made to the Class A and Class B Certificateholders on such Distribution Date. The Specified Reserve Fund Balance for the first Distribution Date will be $ and on any Distribution Date thereafter will be calculated as described under "The Certificates -- Subordination of the Class B Certificates; Reserve Fund." On each Distribution Date, funds will be withdrawn from the Reserve Fund for distribution, first, to Class A Certificateholders to the extent of shortfalls in the amounts available to make required distributions of interest on the Class A Certificates, second, to Class B Certificateholders to the extent of shortfalls in the amounts available to make required distributions of interest on the Class B Certificates, third, to Class A Certificateholders to the extent of shortfalls in the amounts available to make required distributions of principal on the Class A Certificates and fourth, to Class B Certificateholders to the extent of shortfalls in the amounts available to make required distributions of principal on the Class B Certificates. On each Distribution Date, after giving effect to all distributions made on such Distribution Date, any amounts in the Reserve Fund in excess of the Specified Reserve Fund Balance will be distributed to the Seller and upon such distribution the Certificateholders will have no further rights in, or claims to, such amounts. See "The Certificates -- Subordination of the Class B Certificates; Reserve Fund." Advances.................. On the Business Day immediately preceding each Distribution Date, the Servicer will advance, in respect of each Receivable, an amount equal to all interest at the related APR which accrued in respect of such Receivable from the last day upon which a payment was made on such Receivable through the last day of the related Collection Period. The Servicer will be required to make an Advance only to the extent it determines, in its reasonable judgment, such Advance will be recoverable from future payments and collections on or in respect of the Receivables 6 8 or otherwise. See "The Certificates -- Certain Payments by the Servicer." Servicing Fee............. The Servicer will receive a monthly fee, payable on each Distribution Date, equal to one-twelfth of the product of 1.0% (the "Servicing Fee Rate") and the Pool Balance as of the first day of the related Collection Period. The Servicer will be entitled to receive additional servicing compensation in the form of certain late fees, prepayment charges and other administrative fees or similar charges. See "The Certificates -- Servicing Compensation." Termination............... The Seller and the Servicer, or any successor to the Servicer, will each have the option to purchase from the Trust all Receivables then outstanding and all other property in the Trust on any Distribution Date following a Record Date as of which the Pool Balance is less than 10% of the Pool Balance as of the Cutoff Date (the "Original Pool Balance"). See "The Certificates -- Termination." If neither the Seller nor the Servicer exercises its optional termination right within 90 days after the Record Date as of which such right can first be exercised, the Trustee shall solicit bids for the purchase of all Receivables remaining in the Trust. In the event that satisfactory bids are received as described in "The Certificates -- Termination," the sale proceeds will be distributed to Certificateholders on the second Distribution Date succeeding such Record Date. If satisfactory bids are not received, the Trustee shall decline to sell the Receivables and shall not be under any obligation to solicit any further bids or otherwise negotiate any further sale of the Receivables. See "The Certificates -- Termination." Ratings................... It is a condition to the issuance of the Certificates that the Class A Certificates be rated Aaa by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") and AAA by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services ("Standard & Poor's" and, together with Moody's, the "Rating Agencies") and the Class B Certificates be rated A3 by Moody's and A+ by Standard & Poor's. The ratings of each Class of Certificates will be based primarily on the value of the Receivables, the terms of the Certificates and the Reserve Fund. The foregoing ratings do not address the likelihood that the Certificates will be retired following the sale of the Receivables by the Trustee as described above under "Termination." There is no assurance that any rating will not be lowered or withdrawn by the assigning Rating Agency if, in its judgment, circumstances so warrant. In the event that the rating initially assigned to the Class A Certificates or the Class B Certificates is subsequently lowered or withdrawn for any reason, no person or entity will be obligated to provide any additional credit enhancement with respect to such Certificates. There can be no assurance whether any other rating agency will rate the Class A Certificates or the Class B Certificates, or if one does, what rating would be assigned by any such other rating agency. A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities. Tax Status................ In the opinion of special federal tax counsel to the Seller, the Trust will be classified as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes and not as an association taxable as a corporation. For federal income tax purposes, the Certificateholders will be considered to own interests in stripped bonds and stripped coupons. See "Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences." 7 9 Certificateholders should consult their own tax advisors as to the proper treatment of original issue discount with respect to the Receivables and the application of the stripped bond rules. ERISA Considerations...... Subject to the conditions described herein, the Class A Certificates may be purchased by employee benefit plans that are subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"). SINCE THE CLASS B CERTIFICATES WILL BE SUBORDINATED TO THE CLASS A CERTIFICATES, EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS SUBJECT TO ERISA WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE TO PURCHASE CLASS B CERTIFICATES. Any benefit plan fiduciary considering purchase of the Certificates should, among other things, consult with its counsel in determining whether all required conditions have been satisfied. See "ERISA Considerations." 8 10 FORMATION OF THE TRUST The Seller will establish the Trust by selling and assigning the property of the Trust to the Trustee in exchange for the Certificates. The Servicer will service the Receivables pursuant to the Agreement and will be compensated for acting as such. To facilitate servicing and to minimize administrative burden and expense, the Servicer will be appointed custodian for the Receivables by the Trustee, but will not stamp the Receivables to reflect the sale and assignment of the Receivables to the Trust, amend the certificates of title of the Financed Vehicles or execute any transfer instrument (including, among other instruments, UCC-3 assignments) relating to any Financed Vehicles. Consequently, in some states, in the absence of such amendments and actions, the Trustee will have certain risks with respect to its security interests in the Financed Vehicles. See "Certain Legal Aspects of the Receivables." If the protection provided to (i) the Class A Certificateholders by the subordination of the Class B Certificates and by the Reserve Fund and (ii) the Class B Certificateholders by the Reserve Fund is insufficient, the Trust will look only to payments made by or on behalf of the Obligors on or in respect of the Receivables, the proceeds from the repossession and sale of Financed Vehicles securing Defaulted Receivables and the proceeds of Dealer repurchase obligations, if any, more fully described below under "Property of the Trust," to make distributions on the Certificates. In such event, certain factors, such as the failure of the Trustee to possess first perfected security interests in the Financed Vehicles, may limit the ability of the Trust to realize on the collateral securing the Receivables or may limit the amount realized to less than the amount owed by the related Obligors. Certificateholders may thus be subject to delays in payment and may incur losses on their investment in the Certificates as a result of defaults or delinquencies by Obligors and depreciation in the value of the related Financed Vehicles. The rights of the Class B Certificateholders to receive distributions of principal will be subordinated to the rights of the Class A Certificateholders to receive distributions of interest and principal to the extent described herein. See "The Certificates -- Subordination of the Class B Certificates; Reserve Fund" and "Certain Legal Aspects of the Receivables." PROPERTY OF THE TRUST Each Certificate will represent a fractional undivided interest in the Trust. The property of the Trust will include a pool of simple interest retail installment sale contracts, originated on or before August 31, 1997, between Dealers in new and used recreational vehicles, manufactured primarily by Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc. ("Fleetwood Enterprises"), and retail purchasers of those vehicles (the "Obligors"), and certain monies due thereunder on and after the Cutoff Date. The Receivables were originated by Dealers and subsequently assigned to Fleetwood Credit. Such Receivables will be serviced by Fleetwood Credit and evidence the indirect financing made available by Fleetwood Credit to the Obligors. On or before the Closing Date, Fleetwood Credit will sell the Receivables to the Seller, which, in turn will sell them to the Trust. Neither the Seller nor the Servicer may substitute any other retail installment sale contract for any Receivable sold to the Trust during the term of the Agreement. The assets of the Trust will also include: (i) such amounts as from time to time may be held in the Certificate Account, an interest bearing trust account to be established and maintained by the Servicer with the Trustee pursuant to the Agreement; (ii) security interests in the Financed Vehicles and any accessions thereto; (iii) the right to proceeds from physical damage, credit life and disability insurance policies, if any, covering individual Financed Vehicles or Obligors, as the case may be; (iv) the right to receive proceeds of Dealer repurchase obligations, if any; (v) any Servicer Letter of Credit; (vi) the rights of the Seller under the Receivables Purchase Agreement; and (vii) any and all proceeds of the foregoing. The Reserve Fund will be maintained with the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, but will not be property of the Trust. The "Pool Balance" as of the first day of a Collection Period will represent the aggregate principal balance of the Receivables at the end of the immediately preceding Collection Period, after giving effect to all payments of principal received from or on behalf of Obligors and all payments of principal on Receivables to be repurchased remitted by the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, all for such immediately preceding Collection Period. The Pool Balance will be computed by allocating payments on or in respect of the 9 11 Receivables to principal and to interest using the simple interest method. The "Original Pool Balance" will mean the Pool Balance as of the Cutoff Date. Pursuant to agreements between Fleetwood Credit and the Dealers, each Dealer is obligated after origination to repurchase from Fleetwood Credit recreational vehicle receivables which do not meet certain representations and warranties made by such Dealer. Such representations and warranties relate primarily to the origination of the receivables and the perfection of the security interests in the related financed vehicles, and do not typically relate to the creditworthiness of the related obligors or the collectability of such receivables. Although any Dealer agreements with respect to the Receivables will not be assigned to the Trustee, the Agreement will require that any recovery by Fleetwood Credit pursuant to Dealer repurchase obligations be deposited in the Certificate Account in satisfaction of the Servicer's repurchase obligations under the Agreement. It is expected that the assignments by the Dealers of receivables to Fleetwood Credit will not generally provide for recourse to the Dealer for unpaid amounts in the event of a default by an Obligor, other than in connection with a breach of the Dealer's representations and warranties. THE RECEIVABLES The Receivables will have been purchased by Fleetwood Credit from Dealers in the ordinary course of business. The Receivables were selected from Fleetwood Credit's portfolio of recreational vehicle retail installment sale contracts by several criteria, including the following: (i) each Receivable was originated in the United States of America; (ii) each Receivable has a fixed APR equal to or greater than %; (iii) each Receivable provides for level monthly payments which provide interest at the related APR and fully amortize the amount financed over an original term of no greater than months; (iv) each Receivable is not more than 30 days past due as of the Cutoff Date; and (v) in the case of Obligors in the military service (including an Obligor who is a member of the National Guard or is in the reserves) whose Receivable is subject to the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940, as amended (the "Soldiers' and Sailors' Relief Act"), or the California Military Reservist Relief Act of 1991 (the "Military Reservist Relief Act"), each such Obligor (each, a "Relief Act Obligor") must not have made a claim to Fleetwood Credit that (A) the amount of interest on the related Receivable should be limited to 6% pursuant to the Soldiers' and Sailors' Relief Act during the period of such Obligor's active duty status or (B) payments on such Receivable should be delayed pursuant to the Military Reservist Relief Act. Interest in respect of the Receivables will accrue on a simple interest method (i.e., the interest portion of each monthly payment will equal the interest on the outstanding principal balance of the related Receivable for the number of days since the most recent payment made on such Receivable and the balance, if any, of such monthly payment will be applied to principal). The Financed Vehicles will consist of motor homes and travel trailers. Approximately % of the Receivables, by Original Pool Balance, were secured by motor homes and approximately % were secured by travel trailers. Approximately % of the Receivables, by Original Pool Balance, represented financing of new recreational vehicles and approximately % represented financing of used recreational vehicles. As of the Cutoff Date, the average outstanding principal balances of Receivables secured by motor homes and travel trailers were $ and $ , respectively. A significant portion of the Receivables represent financing of recreational vehicles manufactured by Fleetwood Enterprises. Except in the case of breach of representations by the related Dealer, as described above under "Property of the Trust," it is expected that none of the Receivables will provide for recourse to the Dealer who originated the related Receivable. Based upon information presented by Obligors in their Receivables applications, as of the Cutoff Date the Receivables were originated in states. Based on Original Pool Balance, approximately % of the Receivables were originated in the State of California, approximately % were originated in the State of Oregon, approximately % were originated in the State of Texas, approximately % were originated in the State of Arizona and approximately % were originated in the State of Florida. Each other state accounts for less than 5% of the Receivables by Original Pool Balance. As of the Cutoff Date, approximately % of the Original Pool Balance represented Paid-Ahead Receivables. 10 12 COMPOSITION OF THE RECEIVABLES Aggregate Principal Balance as of the Cutoff Date........... $ Number of Receivables.......................................

- --------------- (1) Percentages may not add to 100% due to rounding. MATURITY AND PREPAYMENT CONSIDERATIONS All of the Receivables are prepayable at any time without any penalty. If prepayments are received on the Receivables, the actual weighted average life of the Receivables can be shorter than the scheduled weighted average life, which is based on the assumption that payments will be made as scheduled and that no prepayments will be made. For this purpose the term "prepayments" includes, among other items, voluntary prepayments by Obligors, regular installment payments made in advance of their scheduled due dates, liquidations due to default, proceeds from physical damage, credit life and credit disability insurance policies and repurchases by the Seller or a Dealer or a purchase by the Servicer, as the case may be, of certain Receivables as described herein. "Weighted average life" means the average amount of time during which each dollar of principal on a Receivable is outstanding. The rate of prepayments on the Receivables may be influenced by a variety of economic, social and other factors, including the fact that an Obligor may not sell or transfer a Financed Vehicle without the consent of the Servicer. Any reinvestment risk resulting from the rate of prepayment of the Receivables and the distribution of such prepayments to Certificateholders will be borne entirely by the Certificateholders. In addition, early retirement of the Certificates may be effected by the exercise of the option of the Seller or the Servicer, or any successor to the Servicer, to purchase all of the Receivables remaining in the Trust when the Pool Balance is 10% or less of the Original Pool Balance or, if the Seller and the Servicer elect to not exercise such option, the sale by the Trustee of all of the Receivables remaining in the Trust when the Pool Balance is 10% or less of the Original Pool Balance. See "The Certificates -- Termination." No prediction can be made as to the rate of prepayments on the Receivables in either stable or changing interest rate environments. Fleetwood Credit is not aware of any publicly available industry statistics that set forth principal prepayment experience for recreational vehicle retail installment sale contracts similar to the 11 13 Receivables over an extended period of time, and its experience with respect to recreational vehicle receivables included in its portfolio is insufficient to draw any specific conclusions with respect to the expected prepayment rates on the Receivables. DELINQUENCIES, REPOSSESSIONS AND NET LOSSES Set forth below is certain information concerning Fleetwood Credit's experience with respect to its portfolio of recreational vehicle receivables similar to the Receivables. Fleetwood Credit did not acquire recreational vehicle receivables similar to the Receivables prior to July 1986. Accordingly, Fleetwood Credit's experience with respect to such receivables is limited and only a small portion of its recreational vehicle receivables portfolio has reached maturity. There is no assurance that Fleetwood Credit's delinquency, credit loss and repossession experience with respect to recreational vehicle receivables in the future, or the experience of the Trust with respect to the Receivables, will be similar to that set forth below. Losses and delinquencies are affected by, among other things, general and regional economic conditions and the supply of and demand for recreational vehicles. DELINQUENCY EXPERIENCE

(2) The sum of all principal amounts outstanding under the recreational vehicle receivables. (3) Amounts represent the average of month-end figures for each month in the periods indicated. 12 14 PAID-AHEAD RECEIVABLES If an Obligor, in addition to making a regularly scheduled monthly payment, makes one or more additional monthly payments in any Collection Period (for example, because the Obligor intends to be on vacation the following month), such additional payments will be treated as a prepayment of principal and applied to reduce the principal balance of the related Receivable in such Collection Period. Unless otherwise requested by the Obligor, the Obligor will not be required to make any scheduled monthly payment in respect of such Receivable (a "Paid-Ahead Receivable") for the number of months corresponding to the number of such additional scheduled monthly payments that were made (the "Paid-Ahead Period"). During the Paid-Ahead Period, interest will continue to accrue on the principal balance of the related Receivable, as reduced by the application of such additional scheduled monthly payments made in the Collection Period in which such Receivable became a Paid-Ahead Receivable. A Paid-Ahead Receivable will not be considered delinquent during the related Paid-Ahead Period. An interest shortfall with respect to each Paid-Ahead Receivable will exist during each Collection Period during the Paid-Ahead Period and the Servicer may be required to make an Advance in respect of such shortfall, as described under "The Certificates -- Certain Payments by the Servicer." Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Advances will be made in respect of principal in respect of a Paid-Ahead Receivable. Because interest in respect of the Receivables will accrue on the simple interest method, scheduled monthly payments on a Paid-Ahead Receivable paid by an Obligor following the end of the Paid-Ahead Period may be insufficient to cover the interest that has accrued since the last payment was made prior to the Paid-Ahead Period. Notwithstanding such insufficiency, the related Receivable will be considered current. This situation will continue until sufficient payments have been made to cover all accrued interest on such Paid-Ahead Receivable since the beginning of the Paid-Ahead Period and the principal balance of such Receivable is once again being amortized. Depending on the principal balance and APR of the related Paid-Ahead Receivables, and on the number of payments that were paid-ahead, there may be extended periods of time during which Paid-Ahead Receivables that are current are not amortizing. During such periods, no distributions in respect of principal will be made to Certificateholders with respect to such Receivables. Paid-Ahead Receivables will affect the weighted average lives of the Certificates. The distribution of the paid-ahead amount on the Distribution Date following the Collection Period in which such amount was received will generally shorten the weighted average lives of the Certificates. However, depending on the length of time during which a Paid-Ahead Receivable is not amortized as described above, the weighted average lives of the Certificates may be extended. In addition, to the extent the Servicer makes Advances with respect to a Paid-Ahead Receivable which subsequently goes into default, because liquidation proceeds with respect to such Receivable will be applied first to reimburse the Servicer for such Advances, the loss with respect to such Receivable may be larger than would have been the case had such Advances not been made. As of the Cutoff Date, based on the Original Pool Balance, approximately % of the Receivables were Paid-Ahead Receivables. Fleetwood Credit's portfolio of recreational vehicle installment sale receivables has historically included receivables which have been paid-ahead by one or more scheduled monthly payments. There can be no assurance as to the number of Receivables which may become Paid-Ahead Receivables or the number or the principal amount of the scheduled payments which may be paid-ahead. RECREATIONAL VEHICLES Motor homes are recreational camping and travel vehicles built on or as an integral part of a self-propelled motor vehicle chassis. A motor home may provide kitchen, sleeping and bathroom facilities, is equipped with the ability to store and carry fresh water and sewage and may be one of the following types: Motor Home: The living unit has been entirely constructed on a bare, specially designed motor vehicle chassis. Van Camper: A panel-type truck to which the manufacturer adds any two of the following conveniences: sleeping, kitchen and toilet facilities. The manufacturer also adds 110-volt hookup, fresh water storage, city water hookup and top extension to provide more headroom. 13 15 Mini Motor Home: This unit is built on an automotive manufactured van frame with an attached cab section having a gross vehicle weight rating of 6,500 pounds or more, with an overall height of less than eight feet. The manufacturer completes the body section containing the living area and attaches it to the cab section. Compact Motor Home: This unit is built on an automotive manufactured cab and chassis having a gross vehicle weight rating of less than 6,500 pounds. It may provide any or all of the conveniences of the larger units. Travel trailers are trailers designed to be towed by a motorized vehicle (e.g., automobile, van or pickup truck) and are of such size and weight as not to require a special highway movement permit. A travel trailer is designed to provide temporary living quarters for recreational, camping or travel use, does not require permanent on-site hookup and can be one of the following types: Conventional Travel Trailer: This unit ranges typically from 12 feet to 35 feet in length, and is towed by means of a bumper or frame hitch attached to the towing vehicle. Park Trailer: These are designed for seasonal or temporary living. When set up, the unit may be connected to utilities necessary for operation of installed fixtures and appliances. The unit is built on a single chassis mounted on wheels. Park trailers are no more than 40 feet in overall body length and no more than 12 feet in overall body width when in the traveling mode. The unit is designed for set-up by persons without special skills using only hand tools which may include lifting, pulling or supporting devices. Fifth-Wheel Travel Trailer: This unit can be equipped the same as the conventional travel trailer, but is constructed with a raised forward section that allows a bi-level floor plan. This style is designed to be towed by a vehicle equipped with a device known as a fifth-wheel hitch. Folding Camping Trailer: This is a vehicular portable unit mounted on wheels and constructed with collapsible partial sidewalls which fold for towing by another vehicle and unfold at the campsite to provide temporary living quarters for recreational, camping or travel use. Slide-In Camper: This is a portable unit designed to be loaded onto and unloaded from the bed of a pickup truck, constructed to provide temporary living quarters for recreational travel or camping use. YIELD CONSIDERATIONS Interest on the Receivables will be passed through to Certificateholders on each Distribution Date to the extent of the Class A Pass-Through Rate and the Class B Pass-Through Rate applied to the Class A Certificate Balance and the Class B Certificate Balance, respectively, as of the first day of the immediately preceding Collection Period (after giving effect to distributions of principal to be made on the Distribution Date in such immediately preceding Collection Period) or, in the case of the first Distribution Date, the Original Class A Certificate Balance or the Original Class B Certificate Balance, as the case may be. In the case of each payment of principal on a Receivable, Certificateholders will receive interest for the full month, in part from the Non-Reimbursable Payment by the Servicer. See "The Certificates -- Certain Payments by the Servicer." Although the Receivables have different APRs, each Receivable's APR exceeds the sum of (i) the weighted average of the Class A Pass-Through Rate and the Class B Pass-Through Rate and (ii) the Servicing Fee Rate. Therefore, disproportionate rates of prepayments between Receivables with higher and lower APRs should not affect the yield to Certificateholders on the principal balance of the outstanding Certificates of each Class. The effective yields to Class A Certificateholders and Class B Certificateholders will be below the yields otherwise produced by the Class A Pass-Through Rate and the Class B Pass-Through Rate, respectively, because the distribution of principal and interest paid on the underlying Receivables in respect of any Collection Period will not be made until the related Distribution Date, which will not be earlier than the fifteenth day of the following month. 14 16 The Class B Certificates will provide limited protection to the Class A Certificates against losses on the Receivables. Accordingly, the yield on the Class B Certificates will be extremely sensitive to the loss experience of the Receivables and the timing of any such losses. If the actual rate and amount of losses experienced by the Receivables exceed the rate and amount of such losses assumed by an investor, the yield to maturity on the Class B Certificates may be lower than anticipated. POOL FACTORS AND TRADING INFORMATION The "Class A Pool Factor" and the "Class B Pool Factor" will be seven-digit decimal numbers which the Servicer will compute each month indicating the Class A Certificate Balance and the Class B Certificate Balance at the end of the related Collection Period as a fraction of the Original Class A Certificate Balance or Original Class B Certificate Balance, as the case may be. Each Pool Factor will be 1.0000000 as of the Cutoff Date and will thereafter decline to reflect reductions in the Class A Certificate Balance or the Class B Certificate Balance, as the case may be. The portion of the Class A Certificate Balance or the Class B Certificate Balance for a given month allocable to a Class A Certificateholder or a Class B Certificateholder, as the case may be, can be determined by multiplying the original denomination of the holder's Certificate by the related Pool Factor at the time of determination. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Certificateholders will receive monthly reports concerning the payments received on the Receivables, the Pool Balance, the Class A Pool Factor and the Class B Pool Factor and various other items of information pertaining to the Trust. Certificateholders during each calendar year will be furnished information for tax reporting purposes not later than the latest date permitted by law. See "The Certificates -- Statements to Certificateholders." USE OF PROCEEDS The net proceeds to be received by the Seller from the sale of the Certificates will be applied to the purchase of the Receivables from Fleetwood Credit pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement. THE SELLER Fleetwood Credit Receivables Corp. was incorporated in the State of California on January 15, 1991 as a wholly owned, limited purpose subsidiary of Fleetwood Credit. The principal executive offices of the Seller are located at 22840 Savi Ranch Parkway, Yorba Linda, California 92687. Its telephone number is (714) 921-3400. The Seller was organized principally for the purpose of purchasing recreational vehicle retail installment sale contracts from Fleetwood Credit and transferring such retail installment sale contracts to third parties in connection with its activities as a limited purpose subsidiary of Fleetwood Credit. The Seller's Articles of Incorporation limit the activities of the Seller to the above purposes and to any activities incidental thereto. THE SERVICER GENERAL Fleetwood Credit was incorporated in the State of California on December 31, 1985, and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Associates First Capital Corporation, which acquired Fleetwood Credit from Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc., in May 1996. Fleetwood Credit's principal activities are the financing of the acquisition by Dealers for resale of various new recreational vehicles, a significant portion of which to date have been manufactured by Fleetwood Enterprises, and used recreational vehicles acquired in the ordinary course of business and the acquisition from such Dealers of installment obligations with respect to the sale of such recreational vehicles. The principal executive offices of Fleetwood Credit are located at 22840 Savi Ranch Parkway, Yorba Linda, California 92687. Its telephone number is (714) 921-3400. 15 17 ORIGINATION AND SERVICING Fleetwood Credit purchases retail installment sale contracts secured by new and used recreational vehicles from Dealers located throughout the United States. In keeping with the practice of Fleetwood Credit, the Receivables were originated by Dealers in accordance with Fleetwood Credit's requirements under agreements with such Dealers. The Receivables were purchased in accordance with Fleetwood Credit's underwriting standards, which emphasize the prospective purchaser's ability to pay and creditworthiness, as well as the asset value of the recreational vehicle to be financed. Fleetwood Credit's standards also require physical damage insurance to be maintained on each Financed Vehicle. THE CERTIFICATES The Certificates will be issued pursuant to the Agreement. Copies of the Agreement (without exhibits) may be obtained by Certificateholders upon request in writing to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office. Citations to certain relevant sections of the Agreement appear below in parentheses. The following summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement. GENERAL The Certificates will evidence fractional undivided interests in the Trust created pursuant to the Agreement and will not represent interests in or obligations of the Seller, Fleetwood Credit, Associates First Capital Corporation, the Trustee or any of their respective affiliates. The Class A Certificates will evidence in the aggregate an undivided ownership interest of % of the Trust and the Class B Certificates will evidence in the aggregate an undivided ownership interest of % of the Trust. In general, it is intended that Class A Certificateholders and Class B Certificateholders receive, on each Distribution Date, the Class A Percentage and Class B Percentage, respectively, of all payments allocated to principal on or in respect of the Receivables collected by the Servicer during the related Collection Period plus a full month's interest at the Class A Pass-Through Rate on the Class A Certificate Balance or the Class B Pass-Through Rate on the Class B Certificate Balance, as the case may be, in each case as of the first day of such Collection Period (after giving effect to distributions of principal to be made on the Distribution Date occurring in such immediately preceding Collection Period) or, in the case of the first Distribution Date, the Original Class A Certificate Balance and the Original Class B Certificate Balance, as the case may be. Interest to Certificateholders may be provided by payments made by or on behalf of Obligors on or in respect of the Receivables, payments from amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund and Advances and Non-Reimbursable Payments made by the Servicer. (Sections 14.04, 14.05 and 14.08) See "Distributions on the Certificates." A prepayment of a Receivable may be made by or on behalf of the related Obligor, by application of certain insurance proceeds, as a result of a repurchase made by the Seller or a Dealer or a purchase by the Servicer, as the case may be, or as a result of the repossession and sale of the related Financed Vehicle or other enforcement measure taken with respect to a Defaulted Receivable. See "-- Sale and Assignment of the Receivables" and "-- Servicing Procedures." The Certificates will be offered for purchase in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof in book-entry form. Each Class of Certificates will initially be represented by one or more certificates registered in the name of Cede, the nominee of DTC. No beneficial owner of a Class A Certificate (a "Class A Certificate Owner"), or a Class B Certificate (a "Class B Certificate Owner" and, together with the Class A Certificate Owners, the "Certificate Owners"), will be entitled to receive a certificate representing such owner's interest, except as set forth below. Unless and until Certificates of a Class are issued in fully registered certificated form ("Definitive Certificates") under certain limited circumstances described below, all references herein to distributions, notices, reports and statements to the related Certificateholders will refer to the same actions made with respect to DTC or Cede, as the case may be, for the benefit of Certificate Owners in accordance with DTC procedures. (Section 16.09) See "Book-Entry Registration" and "Definitive Certificates." 16 18 BOOK-ENTRY REGISTRATION DTC will act as securities depository for the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates. Each Class of Certificates initially will be represented by one or more certificates registered in the name of Cede, the nominee of DTC. As such, it is anticipated that the only "Certificateholder" will be Cede, as nominee of DTC. Certificate Owners will not be recognized by the Trustee as "Certificateholders," as such term will be used in the Agreement, and Certificate Owners will only be permitted to exercise the rights of holders of Certificates of the related Class indirectly through DTC and its Participants, as further described below. DTC has advised the Seller that it is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code (the "UCC") in effect in the State of New York and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. DTC was created to hold securities for its participating members ("Participants") and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between Participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its Participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates. Participants include securities brokers and dealers (including the Underwriters), banks, trust companies and clearing corporations. Indirect access to the DTC system also is available to banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Participant, either directly or indirectly (the "Indirect Participants"). The rules applicable to DTC and its Participants are on file with the Commission. Certificate Owners that are not Participants or Indirect Participants but that desire to purchase, sell or otherwise transfer ownership of, or an interest in, Class A Certificates or Class B Certificates, as the case may be, may do so only through Participants and Indirect Participants. Participants will receive a credit for the Certificates on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each Certificate Owner will in turn be recorded on the Participants' and Indirect Participants' respective records. Certificate Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase, but Certificate Owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Participant or Indirect Participant through which the Certificate Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Certificates of a Class will be accomplished by entries made on the books of Participants acting on behalf of Certificate Owners. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Certificates deposited by Participants with DTC will be registered in the name of Cede, the nominee of DTC. The deposit of Certificates with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede will effect no change in beneficial ownership. DTC will have no knowledge of the actual Certificate Owners and its records will reflect only the identity of the Participants to whose accounts such Certificates are credited, which may or may not be the Certificate Owners. Participants and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Participants, by Participants to Indirect Participants and by Participants and Indirect Participants to Certificate Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. DTC's practice is to credit Participants' accounts on each Distribution Date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on its records unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive payment on such Distribution Date. Payments by Participants and Indirect Participants to Certificate Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, 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 such Participants and not of DTC, the Trustee (or any Paying Agent), the Seller or the Servicer, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal of and interest on each Class of Certificates to DTC will be the responsibility of the Trustee (or any Paying Agent), disbursement of such payments to Participants will be the responsibility of DTC and disbursement of such payments to the related Certificate Owners will be the responsibility of Participants and Indirect Participants. As a result, under the book-entry format, Certificate Owners may experience some delay in their receipt of payments. 17 19 DTC will forward such payments to its Participants which thereafter will forward them to Indirect Participants or Certificate Owners. Because DTC can only act on behalf of Participants, who in turn act on behalf of Indirect Participants and certain banks, the ability of a Certificate Owner to pledge Certificates to persons or entities that do not participate in the DTC system, or otherwise take actions with respect to such Certificates, may be limited due to the lack of a physical certificate for such Certificates. Neither DTC nor Cede will consent or vote with respect to the Certificates. Under its usual procedures, DTC will mail an "Omnibus Proxy" to the Trustee as soon as possible after any applicable record date for such a consent or vote. The Omnibus Proxy will assign Cede's consenting or voting rights to those Participants to whose accounts the related Certificates are credited on that record date (which record date will be identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). Neither the Seller, the Servicer nor the Trustee (or any Paying Agent) will have any liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of the Certificates held by Cede, as nominee for DTC, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. DEFINITIVE CERTIFICATES Definitive Certificates will be issued to Certificate Owners rather than to DTC, only if (i) DTC is no longer willing or able to discharge its responsibilities as depository with respect to the Certificates, and neither the Trustee nor the Seller is able to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Seller, at its option, elects to terminate the book-entry system through DTC or (iii) after an Event of Default, Certificate Owners representing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the voting interests of either Class of Certificates advise the Trustee through DTC and its Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system for such Class of Certificates through DTC or its successor is no longer in the best interests of the related Certificate Owners. (Section 16.11) Upon the occurrence of any of the events described in the immediately preceding paragraph, the Trustee will be required to notify all Certificate Owners, through Participants, of the availability of Definitive Certificates. Upon surrender by DTC of the certificates representing all Certificates of either Class and the receipt of instructions for re-registration, the Trustee will issue Definitive Certificates to the related Certificate Owners. Distributions on the related Certificates will thereafter be made by the Trustee directly to holders of the related Definitive Certificates in accordance with the procedures set forth herein and to be set forth in the Agreement. Interest payments and any principal payments on the related Certificates on each Distribution Date will be made to holders in whose names the Definitive Certificates were registered at the close of business on the Record Date with respect to such Distribution Date. Distributions will be made by check mailed to the address of such holders as they appear on the Certificate Register. The final payment on any Certificates (whether Definitive Certificates or certificates registered in the name of Cede representing the Certificates), however, will be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates or certificates at the office or agency specified in the notice of final distribution to Certificateholders. The Trustee or Paying Agent will provide such notice to registered Certificateholders not later than the twenty-fifth day of the month preceding the month in which such final distribution is expected to occur. Definitive Certificates will be transferable and exchangeable at the offices of the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar set forth in the Agreement. No service charge will be imposed for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith. (Section 16.03) SALE AND ASSIGNMENT OF THE RECEIVABLES The Receivables. On or prior to the Closing Date, pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, Fleetwood Credit will sell and assign to the Seller, without recourse, its entire interest in and to the Receivables, including its security interests in the Financed Vehicles. At the time of initial issuance of the 18 20 Certificates, the Seller will sell and assign to the Trustee, without recourse, all of its right, title and interest in and to the Receivables, including its security interests in the Financed Vehicles. Each Receivable will be identified in a schedule appearing as an exhibit to each of the Receivables Purchase Agreement and the Agreement (the "Schedule of Receivables"). The Trustee will, concurrently with the sale and assignment of the Receivables to it pursuant to the Agreement, execute, authenticate and deliver the Certificates to the Seller in exchange for the Receivables. (Section 16.02) The Seller will sell the Certificates to the Underwriters. The net proceeds received by the Seller from the sale of the Certificates will be applied to the purchase of the Receivables. Representations and Warranties. In the Receivables Purchase Agreement, Fleetwood Credit will represent and warrant to the Seller, and in the Agreement, the Seller will represent and warrant to the Trustee, among other things, that, on the Closing Date (i) the information set forth in the Schedule of Receivables is correct in all material respects; (ii) the Obligor on each Receivable is required to maintain physical damage insurance covering the related Financed Vehicle in accordance with Fleetwood Credit's normal requirements; (iii) to the knowledge of Fleetwood Credit or the Seller, as the case may be, the Receivables are free and clear of all security interests, liens, charges and encumbrances (other than those in favor of Fleetwood Credit or the Seller) and no offsets, defenses or counterclaims against Fleetwood Credit or the Seller, as the case may be, have been asserted or threatened; (iv) each Receivable is secured by a first perfected security interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of Fleetwood Credit; (v) each Receivable, at the time it was originated, complied and, on the Closing Date, complies, in all material respects with applicable federal and state laws, including, without limitation, consumer credit, truth in lending, equal credit opportunity and disclosure laws; and (vi) the related Obligor has not been identified by Fleetwood Credit as being a Relief Act Obligor. Repurchase of Certain Receivables by the Seller. As of the second (or, if the Seller elects, the first) Record Date following the discovery by or notice to the Seller of a breach of any such representation or warranty that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in a Receivable, the Seller, unless it cures the breach, will repurchase such Receivable from the Trustee and, pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, Fleetwood Credit will purchase such Receivable from the Seller, at a price equal to the unpaid principal balance owed by the Obligor plus interest thereon at a rate equal to the sum of (i) the weighted average of the Class A Pass-Through Rate and the Class B Pass-Through Rate as of the Closing Date and (ii) the Servicing Fee Rate to the last day of the month of repurchase (the "Repurchase Amount"). This repurchase obligation will constitute the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders or the Trustee for any such uncured breach. The obligation of the Seller to repurchase a Receivable will not be conditioned on performance by Fleetwood Credit of its obligation to purchase such Receivable from the Seller pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement. (Section 12.02) SERVICING PROCEDURES To assure uniform quality in servicing the Receivables and the Servicer's own portfolio of recreational vehicle receivables and to reduce administrative costs, the Trustee will appoint the Servicer as custodian of the Receivables. (Section 12.04) The Receivables will not be physically segregated from other recreational vehicle retail installment sale contracts of the Servicer, or those which the Servicer services for others, to reflect the transfer to the Trust. The Servicer's accounting records and computer systems will reflect the sale and assignment of the Receivables to the Trust, and UCC financing statements reflecting such sale and assignment will be filed. See "Certain Legal Aspects of the Receivables -- General." The Servicer will make reasonable efforts to collect all payments due with respect to the Receivables and, in a manner consistent with the Agreement, will continue such collection procedures as it follows with respect to comparable recreational vehicle retail installment sale contracts it services for itself and others. (Section 13.02) See "Certain Legal Aspects of the Receivables." Consistent with its normal procedures, the Servicer may, in its discretion, arrange with an Obligor to extend or modify the payment schedule on a Receivable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer may not extend the stated maturity of a Receivable beyond the scheduled maturity of the Receivable having the latest stated maturity as of the Cutoff Date. Such arrangements may result in the Servicer being required to purchase the related Receivable for the Repurchase Amount, while others may require the Servicer to make an Advance in respect of such Receivable, without 19 21 any reimbursement therefor. (Sections 13.07 and 14.04) The Servicer will follow such normal collection practices and procedures as it deems necessary or advisable to realize upon any Receivable with respect to which it determines that eventual payment in full is unlikely. The Servicer may sell the related Financed Vehicle securing such Receivable at a public or private sale, or take any other action permitted by applicable law. (Section 13.03) COLLECTIONS The Servicer will deposit all payments on or in respect of the Receivables received from or on behalf of Obligors and all proceeds of Receivables collected during each Collection Period into the Certificate Account not later than two Business Days after receipt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Servicer may remit such deposits and collections in respect of a Collection Period to the Certificate Account on a monthly basis not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the related Distribution Date; provided that either (i) the Servicer's short-term unsecured debt obligations are rated at least equal to Prime-1 by Moody's and A-1 by Standard & Poor's (the "Required Servicer Ratings") or (ii) the Servicer obtains a letter of credit, surety bond or insurance policy (the "Servicer Letter of Credit") as will be provided in the Agreement under which demands for payment will be made to secure timely remittance of monthly collections to the Certificate Account and the Trustee is provided with a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that the utilization of such alternative remittance schedule will not result in a Ratings Effect. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Servicer will be permitted to remit to the Certificate Account all collections received on or in respect of the Receivables on a monthly basis by virtue of clause (i) above. In the event that the Servicer is permitted to make remittances of collections to the Certificate Account on a monthly basis pursuant to satisfaction of clause (ii) above, the Agreement will be modified, to the extent necessary, without the consent of any Certificateholder. (Sections 14.02 and 22.01) Pending deposit into the Certificate Account, collections may be invested by the Servicer at its own risk and for its own benefit and will not be segregated from its own funds. The Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, will remit the aggregate Repurchase Amount of any Receivables to be repurchased from the Trust into the Certificate Account on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the related Distribution Date. The Certificate Account shall be maintained (i) with the Trustee so long as the short-term credit ratings of the Trustee are at least equal to Prime-1 by Moody's and A-1+ by Standard & Poor's (the "Required Deposit Ratings") or (ii) in a non-interest bearing segregated trust account for the benefit of the Certificateholders, located in the corporate trust department of a depository institution or trust company having corporate trust powers (which may include the Trustee). If the short-term unsecured debt obligations of the Trustee are not rated at least equal to the Required Deposit Rating, the Servicer will, with the Trustee's assistance as necessary, cause the Certificate Account to be moved to a bank or trust company whose short-term unsecured debt obligations are rated at least equal to the Required Deposit Ratings or moved to a non-interest bearing segregated trust account located in a corporate trust department of a depository institution or trust company as described above. (Section 14.01) For so long as the depository institution or trust company then maintaining the Certificate Account has the Required Deposit Ratings, all amounts held in the Certificate Account will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be invested, as directed by the Servicer, in Permitted Investments. Earnings on the investment of funds in the Certificate Account will be paid to the Servicer. "Permitted Investments" will be limited to investments that will not require the Trust to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and include the following obligations and securities: (i) obligations of the United States or any agency thereof, backed by the full faith and credit of the United States; (ii) general obligations of or obligations guaranteed by any State, commercial paper and certificates of deposit, demand or time deposits, federal funds or banker's acceptances issued by any depository institution or trust company incorporated under the laws of the United States or of any State and subject to supervision and examination by federal or state banking authorities, in each case rated the highest rating of each Rating Agency for such obligations, or such lower rating as will not result in the qualification, downgrading or withdrawal of the rating then assigned to either Class of Certificates by such Rating Agency (each, a "Ratings Effect"); (iii) demand or time deposits or certificates of deposit issued by any bank, trust company, savings bank or other savings institution, which deposits are fully insured by the FDIC; (iv) guaranteed reinvestment agreements issued by 20 22 any bank, insurance company or other corporation as will not result in a Ratings Effect; (v) certain specified repurchase obligations; and (vi) such other investments as will not result in a Ratings Effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Permitted Investment shall mature no later than the Business Day prior to the Distribution Date immediately following the date of purchase (other than instruments of which the Trustee is the obligor, which may mature on the related Distribution Date), and shall be required to be held to such maturity. (Sections 1.01 and 11.01) CERTAIN PAYMENTS BY THE SERVICER On the Business Day immediately preceding each Distribution Date, the Servicer will be required, subject to the limitations set forth below, to advance to the Trust an amount equal to all accrued interest, if any, on the unpaid principal balance of each Receivable at the related APR since the most recent date upon which a payment was made in respect of such Receivable by or on behalf of the related Obligor through the last day of the related Collection Period (an "Advance"). The obligation of the Servicer to make an Advance will be limited to circumstances in which the Servicer, in its reasonable discretion, determines such Advance will ultimately be reimbursable from subsequent payments made by or on behalf of the related Obligor, from insurance proceeds, from liquidation proceeds or otherwise, except in the case of the waiver by the Servicer of any scheduled interest on a Receivable, in which case the Servicer shall be required to make an Advance without the right of subsequent reimbursement. In making Advances, the Servicer will endeavor to maintain monthly payments of interest at the related Pass-Through Rate to Certificateholders, rather than to guarantee or insure against losses. Accordingly, all Advances shall be reimbursable (except as provided above with respect to waivers of scheduled interest) to the Servicer, without interest, if and when a payment relating to a Receivable with respect to which an Advance has previously been made is subsequently received. In addition, Advances in respect of a Receivable (other than a Repurchased Receivable) as to which (i) a scheduled payment is 180 days delinquent or (ii) the Servicer has determined that eventual payment in full is unlikely and has repossessed and liquidated the related Financed Vehicle within such 180-day period (each, a "Defaulted Receivable") shall also be reimbursable (except as provided above with respect to waivers of scheduled interest) to the Servicer from collections on or in respect of other Receivables to the extent that the Servicer determines, in its reasonable discretion, that such Advance will not be recoverable from payments made on or in respect of such Defaulted Receivable. (Section 14.04) When a payment of principal is made on or in respect of a Receivable, interest is paid on the unpaid principal balance of such Receivable only to the date of such payment. To ensure that Certificateholders will not be adversely affected by any shortfall in interest resulting from any such payment, the Agreement will require the Servicer to deposit into the Certificate Account on the Business Day immediately preceding each Distribution Date, without the right of subsequent reimbursement, an amount, if any, as may be necessary to assure that the distributions made on the related Distribution Date in respect of such Receivable to the Servicer and Certificateholders include an amount equal to interest at a rate equal to the sum of (i) the weighted average of the Class A Pass-Through Rate and the Class B Pass-Through Rate as of the Closing Date and (ii) the Servicing Fee Rate on the amount of such principal payment from the date of payment through the last day of the related Collection Period (the "Non-Reimbursable Payment"). (Section 14.05) The Servicer will remit to the Certificate Account an amount equal to each Advance and Non-Reimbursable Payment to be made in respect of a Collection Period not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the related Distribution Date. NET DEPOSITS For administrative convenience, the Servicer will be permitted to make the deposit of collections, Advances, Non-Reimbursable Payments and Repurchase Amounts for or in respect of each Collection Period net of distributions to be made to the Servicer with respect to such Collection Period. The Servicer, however, will account to the Trustee and to the Certificateholders as if all deposits and distributions were made individually. (Sections 14.06 and 14.09) 21 23 SERVICING COMPENSATION The Servicer will be entitled to retain, out of interest collected on or in respect of the Receivables, the Servicing Fee for each Collection Period equal to the product of the Servicing Fee Rate and the Pool Balance as of the first day of such Collection Period. The Servicing Fee will be calculated and paid based upon a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The Servicer will also collect and retain any late fees, prepayment charges and other administrative fees or similar charges allowed by applicable law with respect to the Receivables. (Section 13.08) The Servicing Fee will compensate the Servicer for performing the functions of a third party servicer of recreational vehicle receivables as an agent for the Trustee, including collecting and posting payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors on the Receivables, investigating delinquencies, sending payment statements and reporting tax information to Obligors, paying costs of disposition of Defaulted Receivables and policing the collateral. (Section 13.01) The Servicing Fee also will compensate the Servicer for administering the Receivables, including making Advances and Non-Reimbursable Payments, accounting for collections and furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Trustee with respect to distributions, generating federal income tax information and paying certain taxes, accounting fees, outside auditor fees, data processing costs and other costs incurred in connection with administering the Receivables. (Section 13.01) DISTRIBUTIONS ON THE CERTIFICATES On the eighth calendar day of each month or, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately succeeding Business Day (the "Determination Date"), the Servicer will inform the Trustee of the amount of Available Funds collected on or in respect of the Receivables, the amount of Advances and Non-Reimbursable Payments to be made by the Servicer and the amount of the Servicing Fee and other servicing compensation payable to the Servicer, in each case with respect to the immediately preceding Collection Period. On or prior to each Determination Date, the Servicer shall also determine the Class A Distributable Amount, the Class B Distributable Amount and, based on the Available Funds and other amounts available for distribution on the related Distribution Date as described below, determine the amounts to be distributed to the Class A Certificateholders and the Class B Certificateholders. (Sections 13.09 and 14.07) The Trustee shall make distributions to the Certificateholders out of amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account. The amount of such distributions shall be determined in the manner described below. Determination of Available Funds. "Available Funds" with respect to each Distribution Date will mean the sum of (i) all cash received by the Servicer on or in respect of the Receivables during the immediately preceding Collection Period (including Non-Reimbursable Payments and Advances but other than (a) late payment and extension fees, if any, and other administrative fees and (b) recoveries collected on or in respect of all Receivables which have been previously repurchased by the Seller or purchased by the Servicer pursuant to the Agreement) and (ii) the Repurchase Amounts of all Receivables purchased or repurchased under the Agreement in respect of the immediately preceding Collection Period. With respect to each Collection Period (i) "Collected Interest" will mean the portion of all Available Funds received by the Servicer on or in respect of the Receivables during such Collection Period allocable to interest and (ii) "Collected Principal" will mean the portion of all Available Funds received by the Servicer on or in respect of the Receivables during such Collection Period allocable to principal. Calculation of Distributable Amounts. The "Class A Distributable Amount" with respect to each Distribution Date will mean the sum of (i) the "Class A Principal Distributable Amount," which will equal the Class A Percentage of the Monthly Principal Payment (but not exceeding the Class A Certificate Balance as of such Distribution Date) and (ii) the "Class A Interest Distributable Amount," which will equal one month's interest at the Class A Pass-Through Rate on the Class A Certificate Balance as of the first day of the immediately preceding Collection Period (after giving effect to distributions of principal to be made on the Distribution Date occurring in such immediately preceding Collection Period) or, in the case of the first Distribution Date, the Original Class A Certificate Balance. In addition, with respect to the Distribution Date relating to the Collection Period in which the last Receivable in the Trust is scheduled to mature, the Class A Principal Distributable Amount will include the 22 24 portion of such amount necessary (after giving effect to the other amounts described above to be distributed to the Class A Certificateholders on such Distribution Date allocable to principal) to reduce the Class A Certificate Balance to zero. The "Class B Distributable Amount" with respect to each Distribution Date will be calculated in the same manner as the Class A Distributable Amount, appropriately modified to relate to the Class B Certificates, but will also include recoveries to the extent allocable to principal on Receivables which became Defaulted Receivables in one or more prior Collection Periods. The "Class B Principal Distributable Amount" and the "Class B Interest Distributable Amount" with respect to each Distribution Date will be calculated in the same manner as the Class A Principal Distributable Amount and the Class A Interest Distributable Amount, respectively, in each case appropriately modified to relate to the Class B Certificates. The "Monthly Principal Payment" with respect to each Distribution Date will equal (i) the Pool Balance as of the second Record Date preceding such Distribution Date (or, with respect to the first Distribution Date, the Original Pool Balance) less (ii) the Pool Balance as of the Record Date immediately preceding such Distribution Date. The "Class A Certificate Balance" will initially equal the Original Class A Certificate Balance and on any Distribution Date will equal the Original Class A Certificate Balance, reduced by all distributions actually made on or prior to such Distribution Date to Class A Certificateholders allocable to principal. The "Class B Certificate Balance" will initially equal the Original Class B Certificate Balance and on any Distribution Date will equal the Original Class B Certificate Balance, reduced by (i) all distributions actually made on or prior to such Distribution Date to Class B Certificateholders allocable to principal and (ii) Realized Losses allocable to the Class B Certificates. "Realized Losses" with respect to each Collection Period will equal the amount by which (a) the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all Receivables which became Defaulted Receivables during such Collection Period exceeds (b) the sum of (i) the aggregate liquidation proceeds recovered in respect of principal of such Defaulted Receivables during such Collection Period and (ii) recoveries in respect of all Defaulted Receivables received in such Collection Period, to the extent not otherwise included in the amount determined pursuant to clause (i) above. Payment of Distributable Amounts. Prior to each Distribution Date, the Servicer will calculate the amount to be distributed to the Certificateholders. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee will distribute to Certificateholders the following amounts in the following order of priority, to the extent of Available Funds for such Distribution Date: (i) to the Class A Certificateholders, an amount equal to the Class A Interest Distributable Amount and any unpaid Class A Interest Carryover Shortfall, such amount to be paid from Collected Interest (as Collected Interest has been reduced by reimbursing the Servicer for any outstanding Advances and paying the Servicer the Servicing Fee, including any unpaid Servicing Fees with respect to one or more prior Collection Periods); and if such Collected Interest is insufficient, the Class A Certificateholders will receive such deficiency first, from the Class B Percentage of Collected Principal and second, if such amounts are still insufficient, from monies on deposit in the Reserve Fund; (ii) to the Class B Certificateholders, an amount equal to the Class B Interest Distributable Amount and any unpaid Class B Interest Carryover Shortfall, such amount to be paid from Collected Interest (after giving effect to the reduction in Collected Interest described in clause (i) above); and if such Collected Interest is insufficient, the Class B Certificateholders will be entitled to receive such deficiency from monies on deposit in the Reserve Fund; (iii) to the Class A Certificateholders, an amount equal to the Class A Principal Distributable Amount and any unpaid Class A Principal Carryover Shortfall, such amount to be paid from Collected Principal (after giving effect to the reduction in Collected Principal described in clause (i) above); and if such Collected Principal is insufficient, the Class A Certificateholders will be entitled to receive such deficiency first, from Collected Interest (after giving effect to the reduction in Collected Interest described in clauses (i) and (ii) above) and second, if such amounts are still insufficient, from monies on deposit in the Reserve Fund; and 23 25 (iv) to the Class B Certificateholders, an amount equal to the Class B Principal Distributable Amount and any unpaid Class B Principal Carryover Shortfall, such amount to be paid from Collected Principal (after giving effect to the reduction in Collected Principal described in clauses (i) and (iii) above); and if such Collected Principal is insufficient, the Class B Certificateholders will be entitled to receive such deficiency first, from Collected Interest (after giving effect to the reduction in Collected Interest described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above) and second, if such amounts are still insufficient, from monies on deposit in the Reserve Fund. (Section 14.07) The "Class A Interest Carryover Shortfall" with respect to any Distribution Date will equal the excess, if any, of the Class A Interest Distributable Amount for such Distribution Date and any outstanding Class A Interest Carryover Shortfall from the immediately preceding Distribution Date plus interest on such outstanding Class A Interest Carryover Shortfall, to the extent permitted by law, at the Class A Pass-Through Rate from such immediately preceding Distribution Date through the current Distribution Date, over the amount of interest distributed to the Class A Certificateholders on such Distribution Date. The "Class A Principal Carryover Shortfall" with respect to any Distribution Date will equal the excess of the Class A Principal Distributable Amount plus any outstanding Class A Principal Carryover Shortfall with respect to one or more prior Distribution Dates over the amount of principal that the holders of the Class A Certificates actually received on such Distribution Date. The "Class B Interest Carryover Shortfall" and the "Class B Principal Carryover Shortfall" with respect to any Distribution Date will be calculated in the same manner as the Class A Interest Carryover Shortfall and the Class A Principal Carryover Shortfall, respectively, in each case appropriately modified to relate to the Class B Certificates. Any Excess Amounts in the Certificate Account with respect to any Distribution Date, after giving effect to the distributions described in clauses (i) through (iv) of the third preceding paragraph, will be distributed in the following amounts and in the following order of priority: (i) to the Reserve Fund until the amount on deposit therein equals the Specified Reserve Fund Balance and (ii) to the Seller. SUBORDINATION OF THE CLASS B CERTIFICATES; RESERVE FUND The rights of the Class B Certificateholders to receive distributions with respect to the Receivables will be subordinated to the rights of the Servicer (to the extent that the Servicer is reimbursed for any outstanding Advances and is paid the Servicing Fee, including any unpaid Servicing Fees with respect to one or more prior Collection Periods) and Class A Certificateholders to the limited extent described below. This subordination is intended to enhance the likelihood of timely receipt by Class A Certificateholders of the full amount of interest and principal required to be paid to them, and to afford such Certificateholders limited protection against losses in respect of the Receivables. No distribution will be made to the Class B Certificateholders on any Distribution Date in respect of (i) interest until the full amount of interest on the Class A Certificates payable on such Distribution Date has been distributed to the Class A Certificateholders and (ii) principal until the full amount of interest on and principal of the Class A Certificates payable on such Distribution Date has been distributed to the Class A Certificateholders. Distributions of interest on the Class B Certificates, to the extent of Collected Interest and certain available amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund, will not be subordinated to the payment of principal on the Class A Certificates. Because the rights of the Class B Certificateholders to receive distributions of principal will be subordinated to the rights of the Class A Certificateholders to receive distributions of interest and principal to the extent described herein, the aggregate amount of principal distributions on the Class B Certificates may be affected by the loss experience of the Receivables. If the aggregate amount of losses experienced by the Receivables exceeds the amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund, Class B Certificateholders may not recover their initial investment in the Class B Certificates. In the event of delinquencies or losses on the Receivables, the protection afforded to the Class A Certificateholders will be effected both by the application of available funds for such Distribution Date in the priorities specified under "Distributions on the Certificates -- Payment of Distributable Amounts," and the establishment of the Reserve Fund. The Reserve Fund will not be a part of or otherwise includible in the Trust 24 26 but will be a segregated trust account held by the Trustee. The Reserve Fund will be funded by the Seller on the Closing Date in an amount equal to $ . Thereafter, on each Distribution Date, all Excess Amounts, if any, will be deposited from time to time in the Reserve Fund to the extent necessary to maintain the amount in the Reserve Fund at the Specified Reserve Fund Balance. Any assets (and earnings thereon) in the Reserve Fund will be owned by, and taxed to, the Seller for federal income and state and local franchise tax purposes. The "Specified Reserve Fund Balance" with respect to the first Distribution Date will equal $ . On each Distribution Date thereafter, the Specified Reserve Fund Balance will equal % of the sum of the Class A Certificate Balance and the Class B Certificate Balance (after giving effect to distributions of principal to be made on such Distribution Date); provided, however, that so long as the foregoing sum of the Class A Certificate Balance and the Class B Certificate Balance exceeds $ , the Specified Reserve Fund Balance will not be less than $ . From and after the Distribution Date as of which the foregoing sum of the Class A Certificate Balance and the Class B Certificate Balance is less than $ , the Specified Reserve Fund Balance will equal such sum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on each Distribution Date following any Fiscal Quarter in which losses or delinquencies in respect of the Receivables exceed the percentages to be specified in the Agreement, the Specified Reserve Fund Balance will be equal to the greater of the amount described above or an amount equal to the Pool Balance as of the immediately preceding Record Date multiplied by a percentage determined by subtracting from % a fraction (expressed as a percentage) equal to one minus a fraction, the numerator of which will equal the Class A Certificate Balance and the denominator of which will equal the Pool Balance, in each case as of the last day of the three related Collection Periods in such Fiscal Quarter; provided, however, that following any Fiscal Quarter thereafter in which the losses and delinquencies in respect of the Receivables are less than the percentages to be specified in the Agreement, the Specified Reserve Fund Balance shall return to the amount described in the first two sentences of this paragraph. A "Fiscal Quarter" will mean each of the following three month periods: (i) January, February and March; (ii) April, May and June; (iii) July, August and September; and (iv) October, November and December. In addition, if on any Distribution Date cumulative losses in respect of the Receivables exceed % of the Original Pool Balance, the Specified Reserve Fund Balance shall remain at the level in effect as of such date and shall not be reduced further in accordance with the first sentence of this paragraph. The Servicer may, from time to time after the date of this Prospectus, request each Rating Agency to approve a formula for determining the Specified Reserve Fund Balance that is different from that described above and would result in a decrease in the amount of the Specified Reserve Fund Balance or the manner by which it is funded. If each Rating Agency delivers a letter to the Trustee to the effect that the use of any such new formulation will not result in a Ratings Effect, then the Specified Reserve Fund Balance will be determined in accordance with such new formula. The Agreement will accordingly be amended to reflect such new calculation without the need for consent of any Certificateholder. On each Distribution Date, funds will be withdrawn from the Reserve Fund as described above for distribution, first to Class A Certificateholders to the extent of shortfalls in the amounts available to make required distributions of interest on the Class A Certificates, second to Class B Certificateholders to the extent of shortfalls in the amounts available to make required distributions of interest on the Class B Certificates, third to Class A Certificateholders to the extent of shortfalls in the amounts available to make required distributions of principal on the Class A Certificates and fourth to Class B Certificateholders to the extent of shortfalls in the amounts available to make required distributions of principal on the Class B Certificates. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee will deposit all Excess Amounts, if any, into the Reserve Fund until the amount on deposit therein equals the Specified Reserve Fund Balance for each Distribution Date. If the amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund on such Distribution Date (after giving effect to all deposits thereto or withdrawals therefrom on such Distribution Date) is greater than the Specified Reserve Fund Balance for each Distribution Date, the Trustee will release and distribute such excess, together with any Excess Amounts not required to be deposited into the Reserve Fund, to the Seller. Upon any such release of amounts from the Reserve Fund, the Certificateholders will have no further rights in, or claims to, such amounts. (Section 14.08) 25 27 Amounts held from time to time in the Reserve Fund will continue to be held for the benefit of holders of the Certificates. Funds on deposit in the Reserve Fund may be invested in Permitted Investments. Investment income on monies on deposit in the Reserve Fund will not be available for distribution to Certificateholders or otherwise subject to any claims or rights of the Certificateholders and will be paid to the Seller. (Section 14.08) If on any Distribution Date the Class B Certificate Balance equals zero and amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund have been depleted as a result of losses in respect of the Receivables, the protection afforded to the Class A Certificateholders by the subordination of the Class B Certificates and by the Reserve Fund will be exhausted. In addition, if on any Distribution Date amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund have been depleted, the protection afforded to the Class B Certificateholders by the Reserve Fund will be exhausted. In either of the foregoing circumstances, the Class A Certificateholders or the Class B Certificateholders, as the case may be, will bear directly the risks associated with ownership of the Receivables. Neither the Class B Certificateholders, the Seller nor the Servicer will be required to refund any amounts properly distributed or paid to them, whether or not there are sufficient funds on any subsequent Distribution Date to make full distributions to the Class A Certificateholders. EXAMPLE OF DISTRIBUTIONS The following chart sets forth an example of the application of the foregoing provisions to the first monthly distribution in respect of the Certificates: September 1........... Cutoff Date. The Original Pool Balance will equal the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Receivables as of the opening of business on this date. September 1 - 30...... Collection Period. The Servicer will receive monthly payments, prepayments and other proceeds on or in respect of the Receivables. September 30.......... Record Date. Distributions on the Distribution Date will be made to Certificateholders of record at the close of business on this date. October 8............. Determination Date. On this date, the Servicer will notify the Trustee of, among other things, the amounts to be distributed on the Distribution Date. October 14............ The Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution Date. On or before this date, the Servicer will make or will cause to be made the required remittances to the Certificate Account. October 15............ Distribution Date. On this date, the Trustee will make the distributions described above. STATEMENTS TO CERTIFICATEHOLDERS On each Distribution Date, the Trustee will include with each distribution to each Class A Certificateholder and Class B Certificateholder of record a statement setting forth for such Distribution Date and the related Collection Period, among other things, the following information: (i) the amount of the distribution allocable to principal on the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates; (ii) the amount of the distribution allocable to interest on the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates; (iii) the Certificateholder's pro rata portion of the Servicing Fee and any additional servicing compensation paid to the Servicer; (iv) the Pool Balance, the Class A Pool Factor and the Class B Pool Factor as of the related Record Date; 26 28 (v) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances and the change in such amount from the immediately preceding Collection Period; (vi) the amount, if any, of proceeds received during the Collection Period in connection with any physical damage insurance policies covering Financed Vehicles; (vii) the amount, if any, of proceeds received during the Collection Period from Dealer repurchase obligations relating to Defaulted Receivables; (viii) the Reserve Fund balance, such amount as a percentage of the Pool Balance and, in the event the amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund has been reduced to zero, the number and aggregate dollar amount of Defaulted Receivables; (ix) the Class A Certificate Balance and the Class B Certificate Balance as of such Record Date, after giving effect to payments allocated to principal reported under (i) above; (x) the amount of Class A Principal and Interest Carryover Shortfalls and Class B Principal and Interest Carryover Shortfalls, if any, on such Distribution Date and the change in such Class A and Class B Principal and Interest Carryover Shortfalls from the immediately preceding Distribution Date; (xi) the amount of Realized Losses, if any, on such Distribution Date and the change in such amount from the immediately preceding Distribution Date; (xii) the amount otherwise distributable to the Class B Certificateholders that is being distributed to the Class A Certificateholders on such Distribution Date; and (xiii) the number and principal balance of Paid-Ahead Receivables and the change in such number and amount from the immediately preceding Collection Period. Items (i), (ii) and (iii) above will be presented on the basis of a Certificate in the denomination of $1,000. In addition, within the prescribed period of time for tax reporting purposes after the end of each calendar year during the term of the Agreement, the Trustee will mail to each Person who at any time during such calendar year shall have been a Certificateholder a statement containing the sum of the amounts described in clauses (i) through (iii) above for the purposes of such Certificateholder's preparation of federal income tax returns. (Section 14.10) See "Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences." EVIDENCE AS TO COMPLIANCE The Agreement will provide that a firm of independent public accountants will furnish to the Trustee on or before April 30 of each year, beginning April 30, 1999, a statement as to compliance by the Servicer during the preceding 12 months ended December 31 (or longer period in the case of the first such statement) with certain standards relating to the servicing of the Receivables. (Section 13.11) The Agreement will also provide for delivery to the Trustee, on or before April 30 of each year, commencing April 30, 1999, of a certificate signed by an officer of the Servicer stating that the Servicer has fulfilled its obligations under the Agreement throughout the preceding 12 months ended December 31 (or longer period in the case of the first such statement) or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, describing each such default. (Section 13.10) Copies of such statements and certificates may be obtained by Certificateholders by a request in writing addressed to the Trustee. CERTAIN MATTERS REGARDING THE SERVICER The Agreement will provide that the Servicer may not resign from its obligations and duties as Servicer thereunder, except upon determination that its performance of such duties is no longer permissible under applicable law. No such resignation will become effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer has assumed the Servicer's servicing obligations and duties under the Agreement. (Section 18.05) The Agreement will further provide that neither the Servicer nor any of its directors, officers, employees and agents will be under any liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for taking any action or for 27 29 refraining from taking any action pursuant to the Agreement; provided, however, that neither the Servicer nor any such 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 duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties thereunder. The Servicer will be under no obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its servicing responsibilities under the Agreement and that, in its opinion, may cause it to incur any expense or liability. (Section 18.04) Any corporation into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Servicer is a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the business of the Servicer, which corporation assumes the obligations of the Servicer, will be the successor to the Servicer under the Agreement. (Section 18.03) EVENTS OF DEFAULT "Events of Default" under the Agreement will consist of: (i) any failure by the Servicer (or the Seller, so long as Fleetwood Credit is the Servicer) to deliver to the Trustee as required by the Agreement for distribution to the Certificateholders any required payment, or any failure by the Servicer to deliver a Servicer's Certificate with respect to a Distribution Date, which failure continues unremedied for three Business Days after discovery by an officer of the Servicer (or the Seller, so long as Fleetwood Credit is the Servicer), or written notice of such failure is given (a) to the Servicer or the Seller, as the case may be, by the Trustee or (b) to the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, and to the Trustee by holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the voting interests of the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates, voting together as a single class; (ii) any failure by the Servicer (or the Seller, so long as Fleetwood Credit is the Servicer) duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other covenant or agreement in the Agreement which failure materially and adversely affects the rights of Certificateholders and which continues unremedied for 60 days after the giving of written notice of such failure (a) to the Servicer or the Seller, as the case may be, by the Trustee or (b) to the Servicer or the Seller, as the case may be, and to the Trustee by holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the voting interests of the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates, voting together as a single class; and (iii) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings and certain actions by the Servicer (or the Seller, so long as Fleetwood Credit is the Servicer) indicating its insolvency, reorganization pursuant to bankruptcy proceedings or inability to pay its obligations. (Section 19.01) RIGHTS UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT As long as an Event of Default remains unremedied, the Trustee or holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 51% of the voting interests of the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates, voting together as a single class, may terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer under the Agreement, whereupon the Trustee will succeed, without further action, to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer in its capacity as such under the Agreement and will be entitled to similar compensation arrangements. If, however, a bankruptcy trustee or similar official has been appointed for the Servicer, and no Event of Default other than such appointment has occurred, such trustee or official may have the power to prevent the Trustee or such Certificateholders from effecting a transfer of servicing. In the event that the Trustee is unwilling or unable so to act, it may appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor with a net worth of at least $100,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of recreational vehicle or motor vehicle receivables. The Trustee may make such arrangements for compensation to be paid, which in no event may be greater than the servicing compensation paid to the Servicer under the Agreement. (Sections 19.01 and 19.02) Notwithstanding such termination, the Servicer shall be entitled to payment of certain amounts payable to it prior to such termination, for services rendered prior to such termination. WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS The holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 51% of the voting interests of the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates, voting together as a single class, may waive any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations under the Agreement and its consequences, except a default in making any required deposits to or payments from the Certificate Account in accordance with the Agreement or in respect of a covenant or provision of the Agreement that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each 28 30 Certificateholder (in which event the related waiver will require the approval of holders of all of the Certificates). No such waiver will impair the Certificateholders' rights with respect to subsequent defaults. (Section 19.05) VOTING INTERESTS For purposes of the Agreement, the "voting interests" of the (i) Class A Certificates will be allocated among the Class A Certificateholders or Class A Certificate Owners, as the case may be, in accordance with the Class A Certificate Balance represented thereby and (ii) Class B Certificates will be allocated among the Class B Certificateholders or Class B Certificate Owners, as the case may be, in accordance with the Class B Certificate Balance represented thereby; except that in certain circumstances any Class A Certificates or Class B Certificates, as the case may be, held by the Seller, the Servicer or any of their respective affiliates shall be excluded from such determination. AMENDMENT The Agreement may be amended by the Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee, without the consent of the Certificateholders, to cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any provision therein which may be inconsistent with any other provision therein, to add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under such Agreement which are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Agreement, to add or provide for any credit enhancement for the Class B Certificates or to permit certain changes with respect to the Specified Reserve Fund Balance or any Servicer Letter of Credit; provided, however, that any such action will not, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Trustee, materially and adversely affect the interest of any Certificateholder (including any amendment that would adversely affect the Trust's status as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes), and provided, further, that in the case of a change with respect to the Specified Reserve Fund Balance or any Servicer Letter of Credit the Trustee receives a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such amendment will not result in a Ratings Effect. The Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 51% of the voting interests of all Certificates, voting together as a single class, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of each Class of Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment may (i) except as described above, increase or reduce in any manner the amount of or accelerate or delay the timing of collections of payments on or in respect of the Receivables or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the voting interests of which the holders of either Class of Certificates are required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the holders of all of the relevant Class of Certificates. (Section 22.01) LIST OF CERTIFICATEHOLDERS Upon a written request of the Servicer, the Trustee, as Certificate Registrar, will provide to the Servicer within 15 days after receipt of such request, a list of the names and addresses of all Certificateholders. In addition, three or more Certificateholders or holders of either Class of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the voting interests of such Class, upon compliance by such Certificateholders with certain provisions of the Agreement, may request that the Trustee, as Certificate Registrar, afford such Certificateholders access during business hours to the current list of Certificateholders for purposes of communicating with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under the Agreement. (Section 16.06) The Agreement will not provide for the holding of any annual or other meetings of Certificateholders. TERMINATION The obligations of the Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee pursuant to the Agreement will terminate with respect to the Certificateholders upon the earliest to occur of (i) the maturity or other liquidation of the last Receivable and the disposition of any amounts received upon liquidation of any property remaining in the Trust, (ii) the payment to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement and (iii) the occurrence of either event described below. 29 31 In order to avoid excessive administrative expenses, the Seller or the Servicer, or any successor to the Servicer, will be permitted at its option to purchase from the Trust, on any Distribution Date following a Record Date as of which the Pool Balance is 10% or less of the Original Pool Balance, all remaining Receivables at a price equal to the aggregate Repurchase Amounts for the Receivables (including Defaulted Receivables), plus the appraised value of any other property held by the Trust (less liquidation expenses). In the event that both the Seller and the Servicer, or any successor to the Servicer, elect to purchase the Receivables, the party first notifying the Trustee (based on the Trustee's receipt of such notice) shall be permitted to purchase the Receivables. Exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates. If neither the Seller nor the Servicer (nor any successor to the Servicer) exercises its optional termination right within 90 days after the Record Date as of which such right can first be exercised, the Trustee shall solicit bids for the purchase of the Receivables remaining in the Trust. In the event that satisfactory bids are received as described below, the sale proceeds will be distributed to Certificateholders on the second Distribution Date succeeding such Record Date. Any purchaser of the Receivables must agree to the continuation of the then current Servicer as Servicer on terms substantially similar to those in the Agreement. Any such sale will effect early retirement of the Certificates. The Trustee must receive at least two bids from prospective purchasers that are considered at the time to be competitive participants in the market for motor vehicle retail installment sale contracts. The highest bid may not be less than the fair market value of such Receivables and must equal the sum of (i) the greater of (a) the aggregate Repurchase Amounts for the Receivables (including Defaulted Receivables), plus the appraised value of any other property held by the Trust (less liquidation expenses) or (b) an amount that when added to amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account that would constitute Available Funds for such second succeeding Distribution Date would result in proceeds sufficient to distribute the sum of (1) the Class A Distributable Amount plus any unpaid Class A Principal and Interest Carryover Shortfalls and (2) the Class B Distributable Amount plus any unpaid Class B Principal and Interest Carryover Shortfalls, and (ii) the sum of (a) an amount sufficient to reimburse the Servicer for any outstanding Advances and (b) the Servicing Fee payable on such final Distribution Date, including any unpaid Servicing Fees with respect to one or more prior Collection Periods. The Trustee may consult with financial advisors, including the Underwriters, to determine if the fair market value of such Receivables has been offered. Upon the receipt of such bids, the Trustee shall sell and assign such Receivables to the highest bidder and the Certificates shall be retired on such Distribution Date. If any of the foregoing conditions are not met, the Trustee shall decline to consummate such sale and shall not be under any obligation to solicit any further bids or otherwise negotiate any further sale of Receivables remaining in the Trust. In such event, however, the Trustee may from time to time solicit bids in the future for the purchase of such Receivables upon the same terms described above. The Trustee will give written notice of termination to each Certificateholder of record. The final distribution to each Certificateholder will be made only upon surrender and cancellation of such holder's Certificates at any office or agency of the Trustee specified in the notice of termination. Any funds remaining in the Trust, after the Trustee has taken certain measures to locate a Certificateholder and such measures have failed, will be distributed to the United Way. (Sections 21.01 and 21.02) DUTIES OF THE TRUSTEE The Trustee will make no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of the Agreement, the Certificates (other than the execution and authentication thereof) or of any Receivables or related documents, and will not be accountable for the use or application by the Seller or the Servicer of any funds paid to the Seller or the Servicer in respect of the Certificates or the Receivables, or the investment of any monies by the Servicer before such monies are deposited into the Certificate Account. The Trustee will not independently verify the Receivables. If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will be required to perform only those duties specifically required of it under the Agreement. Generally those duties will be limited to the receipt of the various certificates, reports or other instruments required to be furnished to the Trustee under the Agreement, in which case it will only be required to examine them to determine whether they conform to the requirements of the Agreement. The Trustee will not be charged with knowledge of a failure by the Servicer to perform its duties under the Agreement which failure constitutes an Event of Default 30 32 unless the Trustee obtains actual knowledge of such failure as specified in the Agreement. (Sections 20.01 and 20.05) The Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by the Agreement or to make any investigation of matters arising thereunder or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation thereunder or in relation thereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, unless such Certificateholders have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby. No Certificateholder will have any right under the Agreement to institute any proceeding with respect to the Agreement, unless such holder previously has given to the Trustee written notice of default and (i) the Event of Default arises from the Servicer's failure to remit payments when due or (ii) the holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the voting interests of the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates, voting together as a single class, have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such proceeding in its own name as the Trustee thereunder and have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity and the Trustee for 30 days has neglected or refused to institute any such proceedings. (Section 20.04) THE TRUSTEE will be the Trustee under the Agreement. The Trustee and any of its affiliates may hold Certificates in their own names or as pledgees. (Section 20.06) For the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of certain jurisdictions, the Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly (or in some instances, the Trustee acting alone) will have the power to appoint co-trustees or separate trustees of all or any part of the Trust. In the event of such an appointment, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee by the Agreement will be conferred or imposed upon the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, or, in any jurisdiction in which the Trustee will be incompetent or unqualified to perform certain acts, singly upon such separate trustee or co-trustee who will exercise and perform such rights, powers, duties and obligations solely at the direction of the Trustee. (Section 20.13) The Trustee may resign at any time, in which event the Servicer will be obligated to appoint a successor trustee. The Servicer may also remove the Trustee if the Trustee ceases to be eligible to continue as such under the Agreement, becomes legally unable to act or becomes insolvent. In such circumstances, the Servicer will be obligated to appoint a successor trustee. Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee will not become effective until acceptance of the appointment by such successor trustee. (Section 20.10) The Agreement will provide that the Servicer will pay the Trustee's fees. (Section 20.07) The Agreement will further provide that the Trustee will be entitled to indemnification by the Servicer for, and will be held harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee not resulting from its own willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence (other than by reason of a breach of any of its representations or warranties set forth in the Agreement). (Section 18.02) The Trustee's Corporate Trust Office is located at , telephone . CERTAIN LEGAL ASPECTS OF THE RECEIVABLES GENERAL The transfer of the Receivables to the Trustee, the perfection of the security interest in the Receivables and the enforcement of rights to realize on the Financed Vehicles as collateral for the Receivables are subject to a number of federal and state laws, including the UCC as in effect in various states. The Servicer and the Seller will take such action as is required to perfect the rights of the Trustee in the Receivables. If, through inadvertence or otherwise, another party purchases (including the taking of a security interest in) the Receivables for new value in the ordinary course of its business, without actual knowledge of the Trust's interest, and takes possession of the Receivables, such purchaser would acquire an interest in the Receivables superior to the interest of the Trust. 31 33 SECURITY INTERESTS IN THE FINANCED VEHICLES General. Retail installment sale contracts such as the Receivables evidence the credit sale of recreational vehicles by dealers to obligors; the contracts also constitute personal property security agreements and include grants of security interests in the related recreational vehicles under the UCC. In most states (including California, the state in which the greatest number of Financed Vehicles are currently registered), perfection rules relating to security interests in recreational vehicles are generally governed under state certificate of title statutes (Alabama, Connecticut, Georgia, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont have adopted the Uniform Motor Vehicle Certificate of Title and Anti-Theft Act) or by the vehicle registration laws of the state in which each recreational vehicle is located. In states which have adopted the Uniform Motor Vehicle Certificate of Title and Anti-Theft Act, security interests in recreational vehicles may be perfected either by notation of the secured party's lien on the certificate of title or by delivery of the certificate of title and payment of a fee to the state motor vehicle authority, depending on particular state law. In states that do not have a certificate of title statute or that make no provision for notation of a security interest on a certificate of title, perfection is usually accomplished by filing pursuant to the provisions of the UCC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in certain states, folding camping trailers and/or slide-in campers are not subject to state titling and vehicle registration laws and a security interest in such recreational vehicles is perfected by filing pursuant to the provisions of the UCC. In most states, including California, a security interest in a recreational vehicle is perfected by notation of the secured party's lien on the vehicle's certificate of title. Each Receivable prohibits the sale or transfer of the related Financed Vehicle without the consent of Fleetwood Credit. All retail installment sale contracts that Fleetwood Credit originates or acquires from Dealers name Fleetwood Credit as obligee or assignee and as the secured party. Fleetwood Credit also takes all actions necessary under the laws of the state in which the related recreational vehicles are located to perfect its security interest in such recreational vehicles, including, where applicable, having a notation of its lien recorded on the related certificate of title or delivering the required documents and fees, obtaining possession of the certificate of title (if possible) or, where applicable, by perfecting its security interest in the related recreational vehicles under the UCC. Perfection. Pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, Fleetwood Credit will sell and assign its security interests in the Financed Vehicles to the Seller and, pursuant to the Agreement, the Seller will assign its security interests in the Financed Vehicles to the Trustee. However, because of the administrative burden and expense, neither Fleetwood Credit, the Seller nor the Trustee will amend any certificate of title to identify the Trustee as the new secured party on the certificates of title relating to the Financed Vehicles nor will any such entity execute any transfer instrument (including, among other instruments, UCC-3 assignments). In some states, in the absence of such an amendment or execution, the assignment to the Trustee of a security interest in Financed Vehicles registered therein may not be effective or such security interest may not be perfected. If any otherwise effectively assigned security interest in favor of the Trustee is not perfected, such assignment of the security interest to the Trustee may not be effective against creditors or a trustee in bankruptcy of Fleetwood Credit, which continues to be specified as lienholder on any certificates of title or as secured party on any UCC filing. However, UCC financing statements with respect to the transfer of Fleetwood Credit's security interest in the Financed Vehicles to the Seller and the transfer to the Trustee of the Seller's security interest in the Financed Vehicles will be filed. In addition, the Servicer will continue to hold any certificates of title relating to the Financed Vehicles in its possession as custodian for the Trustee pursuant to the Agreement. See "The Certificates -- Sale and Assignment of the Receivables." A security interest in a motor vehicle registered in the State of California (in which the greatest number of Financed Vehicles are currently registered) may be perfected only by depositing with the Department of Motor Vehicles a properly endorsed certificate of title for the vehicle showing the secured party as legal owner thereon or if the vehicle has not been previously registered, an application in usual form for an original registration together with an application for registration of the secured party as legal owner. However, under the California Vehicle Code, a transferee of a security interest in a motor vehicle is not required to reapply to the Department of Motor Vehicles for a transfer of registration when the interest of the transferee arises from the transfer of a security agreement by the legal owner to secure payment or performance of an obligation. 32 34 Accordingly, under California law, an assignment such as that under each of the Receivables Purchase Agreement and the Agreement is an effective conveyance of Fleetwood Credit's and the Seller's security interest, as the case may be, without such re-registration, and under the Receivables Purchase Agreement the Seller will succeed to Fleetwood Credit's, and under the Agreement the Trustee will succeed to the Seller's, rights as secured party. With respect to Financed Vehicles registered in other states, the Trustee may not have a first perfected security interest in such Financed Vehicles. In most states, assignments such as those under the Receivables Purchase Agreement and the Agreement are an effective conveyance of a security interest without amendment of any lien noted on a vehicle's certificate of title, and the assignee succeeds thereby to the assignor's rights as secured party. Although re-registration of the recreational vehicle is not necessary to convey a perfected security interest in the Financed Vehicles to the Trustee, because the Trustee will not be listed as legal owner on the certificates of title to the Financed Vehicles, its security interest could be defeated through fraud or negligence. However, in the absence of fraud, forgery or administrative error, the notation of Fleetwood Credit's lien on the certificates of title will be sufficient in most states to protect the Trust against the rights of subsequent purchasers of a Financed Vehicle or subsequent creditors who take a security interest in a Financed Vehicle. In the Receivables Purchase Agreement, Fleetwood Credit will represent and warrant, and in the Agreement the Seller will represent and warrant, that it has, or has taken all action necessary to obtain, a perfected security interest in each Financed Vehicle. If there are any Financed Vehicles as to which Fleetwood Credit failed to obtain a first perfected security interest, its security interest would be subordinate to, among others, subsequent purchasers of such Financed Vehicles and holders of first perfected security interests therein. Such a failure, however, would constitute a breach of Fleetwood Credit's representations and warranties under the Receivables Purchase Agreement and the Seller's representations and warranties under the Agreement, and pursuant to the Agreement, the Seller would be required to repurchase the related Receivable from the Trustee and, pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, Fleetwood Credit would be required to purchase such Receivable from the Seller, in each case unless the breach were cured. See "The Certificates -- Sale and Assignment of the Receivables." The Seller will assign its rights under the Receivables Purchase Agreement to the Trustee. Continuity of Perfection. Under the laws of most states, a perfected security interest in a recreational vehicle continues for four months after the vehicle is moved to a new state from the one in which it is initially registered and thereafter until the owner re-registers such recreational vehicle in the new state. A majority of states require surrender of a certificate of title to re-register a vehicle. In those states (including California) that call for the return of the certificate of title to the holder of the first security interest listed thereon, the secured party would learn of the re-registration through the request from the obligor under the related installment sale contract to surrender possession of the certificate of title. In the case of vehicles registered in states providing for the notation of a lien on the certificate of title but not possession by the secured party, 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 vehicles in the state of relocation. However, these procedural safeguards will not protect the secured party if through fraud, forgery or administrative error, the debtor 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 vehicle, re-registration could defeat perfection. In the ordinary course of servicing the Receivables, Fleetwood Credit 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 Vehicle, Fleetwood Credit must surrender possession of the certificate of title or will receive notice as a result of its lien noted thereon and accordingly will have an opportunity to require satisfaction of the related Receivable before release of the lien. Under the Agreement, the Servicer will be obligated to take appropriate steps, at its own expense, to maintain perfection of a security interest in the Financed Vehicles. Priority of Certain Liens Arising by Operation of Law. Under the laws of California and of most states, liens for repairs performed on a recreational vehicle and liens for unpaid taxes take priority over even a first perfected security interest in such vehicle. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, also grants priority to certain federal tax liens over the lien of a secured party. The laws of certain states and federal law 33 35 permit the confiscation of motor vehicles by governmental authorities under certain circumstances if used in unlawful activities, which may result in the loss of a secured party's perfected security interest in a confiscated recreational vehicle. Fleetwood Credit will represent and warrant to the Seller in the Receivables Purchase Agreement and the Seller will represent and warrant to the Trustee in the Agreement that, as of the Closing Date, the security interest in each Financed Vehicle is prior to all other present liens upon and security interests in such Financed Vehicle. However, liens for repairs or taxes could arise at any time during the term of a Receivable. No notice will be given to the Trustee or Certificateholders in the event such a lien or confiscation arises and any such lien or confiscation arising after the Closing Date would not give rise to Fleetwood Credit's repurchase obligation under the Receivables Purchase Agreement or the Seller's repurchase obligation under the Agreement. REPOSSESSION In the event of default by an obligor, the holder of the related retail installment sale contract has all the remedies of a secured party under the UCC, except where specifically limited by other state laws. The UCC remedies of a secured party include the right to repossession by self-help means, unless such means would constitute a breach of the peace. Self-help repossession is the method employed by the Servicer in most cases and is accomplished simply by taking possession of the related recreational vehicle. In cases where the 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 the vehicle must then be recovered in accordance with that order. In some jurisdictions (not including California), the secured party is required to notify the debtor of the default and the intent to repossess the collateral and be given a time period within which to cure the default prior to repossession. In most states (including California), under certain circumstances after the vehicle has been repossessed, the obligor may reinstate the related contract by paying the delinquent installments and other amounts due. NOTICE OF SALE; REDEMPTION RIGHTS In the event of default by the obligor, some jurisdictions (not including California) require that the obligor be notified of the default and be given a time period within which to cure the default prior to repossession. Generally, this right of cure may only be exercised on a limited number of occasions during the term of the related contract. The UCC and other state laws require the secured party to provide the 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. The obligor has the right to redeem the collateral prior to actual sale by paying the secured party the unpaid principal balance of the obligation, accrued interest thereon plus reasonable expenses for repossessing, holding and preparing the collateral for disposition and arranging for its sale, plus, in some jurisdictions, reasonable attorneys' fees or in some states, by payment of delinquent installments or the unpaid principal balance of the related obligation. DEFICIENCY JUDGMENTS AND EXCESS PROCEEDS The proceeds of resale of the Financed Vehicles generally will be applied first to the expenses of resale and repossession and then to the satisfaction of the related 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 California and certain other states that do not prohibit or limit such judgments. In addition to the notice requirement, 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. In addition, the UCC permits the debtor 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 debtor or other interested person to restrain the secured party from disposing of the collateral if the debtor or other interested party establishes that the secured party is not proceeding in accordance with the "default" provisions under the UCC. 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 34 36 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 may be uncollectible. Occasionally, after resale of a recreational 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 such vehicle or, if no such lienholder exists, to the former owner of the vehicle. CERTAIN BANKRUPTCY CONSIDERATIONS The Seller has taken steps in structuring the transactions described herein that are intended to make it unlikely that the voluntary or involuntary application for relief by Fleetwood Credit under the United States Bankruptcy Code or similar applicable state laws (collectively, "Insolvency Laws") will result in consolidation of the assets and liabilities of the Seller with those of Fleetwood Credit. These steps include the creation of the Seller as a wholly owned, limited purpose subsidiary pursuant to articles of incorporation containing certain limitations (including requiring that the Seller must have at least two "Independent Directors" and restrictions on the nature of the Seller's business and on its ability to commence a voluntary case or proceeding under any Insolvency Law without the affirmative vote of a majority of its directors, including each Independent Director). In addition, to the extent that the Seller granted a security interest in the Receivables to the Trust, and that interest was validly perfected before the bankruptcy or insolvency of Fleetwood Credit and was not taken or granted in contemplation of insolvency or with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud Fleetwood Credit or its creditors, that security interest should not be subject to avoidance, and payments to the Trust with respect to the Receivables should not be subject to recovery by a creditor or trustee in bankruptcy of Fleetwood Credit. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) a court concluded that the assets and liabilities of the Seller should be consolidated with those of Fleetwood Credit in the event of the application of applicable Insolvency Laws to Fleetwood Credit or following the bankruptcy or insolvency of Fleetwood Credit the security interest in the Receivables granted by the Seller to the Trustee should be avoided; (ii) a filing were made under any Insolvency Law by or against the Seller; or (iii) an attempt were made to litigate any of the foregoing issues, delays in payments on the Certificates and possible reductions in the amount of such payments could occur. On the Closing Date, counsel to Fleetwood Credit and the Seller will render an opinion which concludes that following the bankruptcy of Fleetwood Credit, a court, applying the principles set forth in such opinion, would not allow a creditor or trustee in bankruptcy to consolidate the assets and liabilities of Fleetwood Credit and the Seller on the basis of any applicable legal theory theretofore recognized by a court of competent jurisdiction so as to adversely affect the ultimate payment of all amounts owing under the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates. Fleetwood Credit and the Seller will treat the transactions described herein as a sale of the Receivables to the Seller, such that the automatic stay provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code would not apply to the Receivables in the event that Fleetwood Credit were to become a debtor in a bankruptcy case. A case decided by the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit in 1993 contains language to the effect that under the UCC accounts sold by a debtor would remain property of the debtor's bankruptcy estate, whether or not the sale of accounts was perfected under the UCC. UCC Article 9 applies to the sale of chattel paper as well as the sale of accounts and although the Receivables constitute chattel paper under the UCC rather than accounts, perfection of a security interest in both chattel paper and accounts may be accomplished by the filing of a UCC-1 financing statement. If, following a bankruptcy of Fleetwood Credit, a court were to follow the reasoning of the Tenth Circuit reflected in the case described above, then the Receivables would be included in the bankruptcy estate of Fleetwood Credit and delays in payments of collections on or in respect of the Receivables could occur. CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS Numerous federal and state consumer protection laws and related regulations impose substantial requirements upon creditors and services 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' Relief Act, the Military Reservist Relief Act, state adaptations of the National Consumer Act and of the Uniform Consumer Credit 35 37 Code and state motor vehicle retail installment sales acts, retail installment sales acts and other similar laws. Also, the laws of California and of certain other states 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 the ability of an assignee such as the Trustee to enforce consumer finance contracts such as the Receivables. The so-called "Holder-in-Due-Course Rule" of the Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC Rule"), has the effect of subjecting any assignee of the seller in a consumer credit transaction to all claims and defenses which 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 thereunder from the obligor. The FTC Rule is generally duplicated by the Uniform Consumer Credit Code, other state statutes or the common law in certain states. Most of the Receivables will be subject to the requirements of the FTC Rule. Accordingly, the Trustee, as holder of the Receivables, will be subject to any claims or defenses that the purchaser of the related Financed Vehicle may assert against the seller of the Financed Vehicle. Such claims are limited to a maximum liability equal to the amounts paid by the Obligor under the related Receivables. Under California law and most state vehicle dealer licensing laws, sellers of recreational vehicles are required to be licensed to sell vehicles at retail sale. In addition, with respect to used vehicles, the Federal Trade Commission's Rule on Sale of Used Vehicles requires that all sellers of used vehicles prepare, complete and display a "Buyer's Guide" which explains the warranty coverage for such vehicles. Furthermore, Federal Odometer Regulations promulgated under the Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act require that all sellers of used vehicles furnish a written statement signed by the seller certifying the accuracy of the odometer reading. If a seller is not properly licensed or if either a Buyer's Guide or Odometer Disclosure Statement was not provided to the purchaser of a Financed Vehicle, the Obligor may be able to assert a defense against the seller of the Financed Vehicle. If an Obligor on a Receivable were successful in asserting any such claim or defense, the Servicer would pursue on behalf of the Trust any reasonable remedies against the seller or manufacturer of the vehicle, subject to certain limitations as to the expense of any such action specified in the Agreement. Courts have applied general equitable principles to secured parties pursuing repossession or 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 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Courts have generally either upheld the notice provisions of the UCC and related laws as reasonable or have found that the creditor's repossession and resale do not involve sufficient state action to afford constitutional protection to consumers. Fleetwood Credit will represent and warrant under the Receivables Purchase Agreement and the Seller will represent and warrant under the Agreement that each Receivable complies with all requirements of law in all material respects. Accordingly, if an Obligor has a claim against the Trustee for violation of any law and such claim materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in a Receivable, such violation would constitute a breach of such representation and warranty under the Receivables Purchase Agreement and the Agreement and would create an obligation of Fleetwood Credit and the Seller to repurchase such Receivable unless the breach were cured. See "The Certificates -- Sale and Assignment of the Receivables." Any shortfall in payments on or in respect of the Receivables described under this subheading, to the extent not otherwise covered by amounts otherwise payable to the Class B Certificateholders pursuant to the subordination of the Class B Certificateholders or from amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund, could result in losses to the Class A Certificateholders. In addition, any such shortfall, to the extent not covered by amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund, could result in losses to the Class B Certificateholders. 36 38 OTHER LIMITATIONS In addition to the laws limiting or prohibiting deficiency judgments, numerous other statutory provisions, including federal bankruptcy laws and related state laws, may interfere with or affect the ability of a creditor to realize upon collateral or enforce a deficiency judgment. For example, in a Chapter 13 proceeding under the federal bankruptcy law, a court may prevent a creditor from repossessing a recreational vehicle, and, as part of the rehabilitation plan, reduce the amount of the secured indebtedness to the market value of the recreational vehicle at the time of bankruptcy (as determined by the court), leaving the party providing financing as a general unsecured creditor for the remainder of the indebtedness. A bankruptcy court may also reduce the monthly payments due under the related contract or change the rate of interest and time of repayment of the indebtedness. Under the terms of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Relief Act, an Obligor who enters the military service after the origination of such Obligor's Receivable (including an Obligor who is a member of the National Guard or is in reserve status at the time of the origination of the Obligor and is later called to active duty) may not be charged interest above an annual rate of 6% during the period of such Obligor's active duty status, unless a court orders otherwise upon application of the lender. In addition, pursuant to the Military Reservist Relief Act, under certain circumstances, California residents called into active duty with the reserves can delay payments on retail installment contracts, including the Receivables, for a period, not to exceed 180 days, beginning with the order to active duty and ending 30 days after release. It is possible that the foregoing could have an effect on the ability of the Servicer to collect full amounts of interest on certain of the Receivables. In addition, the Relief Acts impose limitations which would impair the ability of the Servicer to repossess an affected Receivable during the Obligor's period of active duty status. Thus, in the event that such a Receivable goes into default, there may be delays and losses occasioned by the inability to realize upon the related Financed Vehicle in a timely fashion. Any shortfall pursuant to either of the two immediately preceding paragraphs, to the extent not otherwise covered by amounts otherwise payable to the Class A Certificateholders pursuant to the subordination of the Class B Certificates or from amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund, could result in losses to the Class A Certificateholders. In addition, any such shortfall, to the extent not covered by amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund, could result in losses to the Class B Certificateholders. CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES The following is a general discussion of certain federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Certificates. This summary is based upon laws, regulations, rulings and decisions currently in effect, all of which are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. The discussion does not deal with all federal tax consequences applicable to all categories of investors, some of which may be subject to special rules. In addition, this summary is generally limited to investors who will hold the Certificates as "capital assets" (generally, property held for investment) within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and who do not hold the Certificates as part of a "straddle," a "hedge" or a "conversion transaction." Furthermore, no authority exists concerning the tax treatment of some aspects of the Certificates, and there can be no assurance that the Treasury Department will not issue regulations under Section 1286 of the Code which would modify the treatment described below. Accordingly, the ultimate federal income tax treatment of the Certificates may differ substantially from that described below. Investors should consult their own tax advisors to determine the federal, state, local and other tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Certificates. Prospective investors should note that no rulings have been or will be sought from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") with respect to any of the federal income tax consequences discussed below, and no assurance can be given that the IRS will not take contrary positions. TAX STATUS OF THE TRUST In the opinion of Arter & Hadden, special federal tax counsel to the Seller, the Trust will be classified as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code and not as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. As a result, each Certificateholder will be subject to federal 37 39 income taxation as if it owned directly the portion of the Trust's assets allocable to its Certificates and as if it paid directly its share of the reasonable expenses paid by the Trust. GENERAL For purposes of federal income tax, the Trust will be deemed to have acquired the following assets: (i) the principal portion of each Receivable plus a portion of the interest due on each Receivable (the "Trust Stripped Bond"), (ii) a portion of the interest due on each Receivable equal to the difference between the Class B Pass-Through Rate and the Class A Pass-Through Rate which difference is then multiplied by the Class B Percentage of each Receivable (the "Trust Stripped Coupon") and (iii) the right to receive payments from the Reserve Fund. All interest due on each Receivable in excess of that portion of such interest included in either the Trust Stripped Bond or the Trust Stripped Coupon above has been retained by the Seller (the "Excess Receivable Amounts"). The Class A Certificateholders in the aggregate will own the Class A Percentage of the Trust Stripped Bond and the right to receive payments from the Reserve Fund, and accordingly each Class A Certificateholder will be treated as owning its pro rata share of such assets. The Class A Certificateholders will not own any portion of the Trust Stripped Coupon. The Class B Certificateholders in the aggregate own the Class B Percentage of the Trust Stripped Bond plus 100% of the Trust Stripped Coupon, if any, and the right to receive payments from the Reserve Fund, and accordingly each Class B Certificateholder will be treated as owning its pro rata share in such assets. Each Certificateholder will be required to report on its federal income tax return, in a manner consistent with its method of accounting, its pro rata share of the entire gross income of the Trust, including interest or finance charges earned on the Receivables, any payment from the Reserve Fund and any gain or loss upon collection or disposition of the Receivables. Payments from the Reserve Fund will have the same character as the amounts they replace (i.e., interest or finance charges on, or principal of, the Receivables). In computing its federal income tax liability, a Certificateholder will be entitled to deduct, consistent with its method of accounting, its pro rata share of reasonable fees payable to the Servicer that are paid or incurred by the Trust as provided in Sections 162 or 212 of the Code. If a Certificateholder is an individual, estate or trust the deduction for its pro rata share of such fees will be allowed only to the extent that all of its miscellaneous itemized deductions, including its share of such fees, exceed 2% of its adjusted gross income. In addition, Code Section 68 provides that itemized deductions otherwise allowable for a taxable year of an individual taxpayer whose adjusted gross income exceeds a specified amount will be reduced by the lesser of (i) 3% of the excess, if any, of adjusted gross income over such amount, or (ii) 80% of the amount of itemized deductions otherwise allowable for such year. As a result, such investors holding Certificates, directly or indirectly through a pass-through entity, may have aggregate taxable income in excess of the aggregate amount of cash received on such Certificates with respect to interest at the related Pass-Through Rate on such Certificates. Subject to the discussion of original issue discount below, a 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 by the Trust. A Certificateholder using the accrual method of accounting must take into account its pro rata share of income and deductions as and when such amounts become due to or payable by the Trust. The Trust Stripped Bond will be treated as a "stripped bond" within the meaning of Section 1286 of the Code. The Trust Stripped Coupon will be treated as a "stripped coupon" within the meaning of Section 1286 of the Code. As a result, the Certificateholders will be deemed to hold interests in "stripped bonds" and "stripped coupons." For purposes of Code Section 1271 through 1288, Code Section 1286 treats a stripped bond or a stripped coupon as an obligation issued on the date that such stripped interest is created. Guidance by the IRS suggests that a servicing fee in excess of reasonable servicing ("excess servicing") will be treated under the stripped bond rules. It is expected that for federal income tax purposes, the Seller will be viewed as having retained a portion of each interest payment on each Receivable sold to the Trust. To the extent that the Receivables are characterized as "stripped bonds," as described above, the income of the Trust allocable to Certificateholders will not include the portion of the interest on the Excess Receivable Amounts or the excess servicing treated as strips, and the deductions allocable to Certificateholders will be limited to 38 40 their respective shares of reasonable servicing and other fees. In addition, a Certificateholder will not be subject to the market discount and premium rules discussed below with respect to the stripped Receivables, but instead will be subject to the original issue discount rules contained in the Code. A Certificateholder will be required to include any original issue discount in income as it accrues, regardless of its regular method of accounting and whether cash payments are received, using a method reflecting a constant rate of interest on the Receivables. STRIPPED BONDS AND STRIPPED COUPONS Although the tax treatment of stripped bonds is not entirely clear, based on guidance by the IRS, each purchaser of a Certificate will be treated as the purchaser of a stripped bond which 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 Treasury regulations (the "Section 1286 Treasury Regulations"), if the discount on a stripped bond certificate is larger than a de minimis amount (as calculated for purposes of the original issue discount rules of the Code) such stripped bond certificate will be considered to have been issued with original issue discount. See "Accrual of Original Issue Discount." Based on the preamble to the Section 1286 Treasury Regulations, although the matter is not entirely clear, the interest income on the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates (less the Trust Stripped Coupon Amount) at the sum of the Class A Pass-Through Rate and the portion of the Servicing Fee Rate that does not constitute excess servicing will be treated as "qualified stated interest" within the meaning of the Section 1286 Treasury Regulations and such income will be so treated in the Trustee's tax information reporting. ACCRUAL OF ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT In determining whether a Certificateholder has purchased its interest in the Receivables (or any Receivable) at a discount, a portion of the purchase price for a Certificate may be allocated to the accrued interest on the Receivables at the time of purchase as though such accrued interest were a separate asset, thus, in each case, reducing the portion of the purchase price allocable to the Certificateholder's undivided interest in the Receivables (the "Purchase Price"). If the Certificates are considered to be issued with original issue discount either because of a discount in the Purchase Price or under the stripped bond rules, the rules described in this paragraph would apply. Generally, the owner of a stripped bond issued or acquired with original issue discount must include in gross income, as it accrues, the sum of the "daily portions," as defined below, of the original issue discount on such Certificate 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 Certificateholder, the daily portions of original issue discount with respect to a Certificate generally would be determined as follows. A calculation will be made of the portion of original issue discount that accrues on the Certificate during each successive monthly accrual period (or shorter period in respect of the date of original issue or the final Distribution Date). This will be done, in the case of each full monthly accrual period, by adding (i) the present value as of the close of such accrual period of all remaining payments to be received on the Certificate under the prepayment assumption used in respect of the Certificates and (ii) any payments received during such accrual period, and subtracting from that total the "adjusted issue price" of the Certificate at the beginning of such accrual period. No representation is made that the Receivables will prepay at any prepayment assumption. The "adjusted issue price" of a Certificate at the beginning of the first accrual period is its issue price (as determined for purposes of the original issue discount rules of the Code) and the "adjusted issue price" of a Certificate at the beginning of a subsequent accrual period is the "adjusted issued 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 made at the end of or during that accrual period. The original issue discount accruing during such 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 any reasonable method set forth in the Treasury Regulations with respect to original issue discount. With respect to the Certificates, the method of calculating 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 39 41 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 Certificates. Subsequent purchasers that purchase Certificates at more than a de minimis discount should consult their tax advisors with respect to the proper method to accrue such original issue discount. PREMIUM The purchase of a Certificate at more than its adjusted principal amount (except to the extent that such premium is allocable to accrued but unpaid interest) will result in the creation of a premium with respect to the interest in the underlying Receivables represented by such Certificates. In determining whether a Certificateholder has purchased its interest in the Receivables (or any Receivable) at a premium, a portion of the purchase price for a Certificate may be allocated to the accrued interest on the Receivables at the time of purchase as though such accrued interest were a separate asset, thus, in each case, reducing the portion of the purchase price allocable to the Certificateholder's undivided interest in the Receivables. A purchaser (who does not hold the Certificate for sale to customers or in inventory) may elect under Section 171 of the Code to amortize such premium. Under the Code, premium is allocated among the interest payments on the Receivables to which it relates and is considered as an offset against (and thus a reduction of) such interest payments. With certain exceptions, such an election would apply to all debt instruments held or subsequently acquired by the electing holder. Holders of Certificates acquired at a premium are urged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the proper treatment of the Certificates for federal income tax purposes. SALE OF A CERTIFICATE If a Certificate is sold, gain or loss will be recognized equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale (exclusive of amounts attributable to accrued and unpaid interest, which will be treated as ordinary income) allocable to each of the Receivables and the Certificateholder's adjusted basis therein. A Certificateholder's adjusted basis will equal the Certificateholder's cost for the Certificate, increased by any original issue discount previously included in income, and decreased (but not below zero) by any previously amortized premium and by the amount of payments (other than qualified stated interest) previously received on the Receivables. Any gain or loss will be capital gain or loss if the Certificate was held as a capital asset, except that gain will be treated in whole or in part as ordinary interest income to the extent of the seller's interest in accrued market discount not previously taken into income on underlying Receivables having a fixed maturity date of more than one year from the date of origination. Net capital gain of an individual is subject to varying tax rates depending upon the holding period of the Certificates. CLASS B CERTIFICATEHOLDERS General. As stated above, the Class B Pass-Through Rate will be equal to the sum of (i) the Class B Percentage of the Pool Balance multiplied by the Class A Pass-Through Rate, (ii) a portion of the interest accrued on each Receivable (i.e., the Trust Stripped Coupon) and (iii) the right to receive certain payments from the Reserve Fund. Because the purchase price paid by each Class B Certificateholder will be allocated between that Certificateholder's interest in the Trust Stripped Bond and the Trust Stripped Coupon based on the relative fair market values of each asset on the date such Class B Certificate is purchased, the Trust Stripped Bond may be issued with original issue discount. Trust Stripped Bond. Except to the extent modified below, the income on the Trust Stripped Bond represented by the Certificates will be reported in the same manner as described above for holders of the Certificates. The interest income on the Class B Certificates at the Class A Pass-Through Rate and the portion of the Servicing Fee Rate that does not constitute excess servicing will be treated as qualified stated interest. Trust Stripped Coupon. The Trust Stripped Coupon will be treated as a debt instrument with original issue discount equal to the excess of the total amount payable with respect to such Trust Stripped Coupon (based on the prepayment assumption used in pricing the Certificates) over the portion of the purchase price allocated thereto. The sum of the daily portions of original issue discount on the Trust Stripped Coupon for 40 42 each day during a year in which the Class B Certificateholder holds the Trust Stripped Coupon will be included based upon the accrual method, regardless of the Certificateholder's regular method of accounting, in the Class B Certificateholder's income. Effect of Subordination. If the Class B Certificateholders receive distributions of less than their share of the Trust's receipts of principal or interest (the "Shortfall Amount") because of the subordination of the Class B Certificates, holders of Class B Certificates would probably be treated for federal income tax purposes as if they had (i) received as distributions their full share of such receipts, (ii) paid over to the Class A Certificateholders an amount equal to such Shortfall Amount and (iii) retained the right to reimbursement of such amounts to the extent such amounts are otherwise available as a result of collections on the Receivables or amounts available in the Reserve Fund. Under this analysis, (a) Class B Certificateholders would be required to accrue as current income any interest or original issue discount income of the Trust that was a component of the Shortfall Amount, even though such amount was in fact paid to the Class A Certificateholders, (b) a loss would only be allowed to the Class B Certificateholders when their right to receive reimbursement of such Shortfall Amount became worthless (i.e., when it becomes clear that amount will not be available from any source to reimburse such loss) and (c) reimbursement of such Shortfall Amount prior to such a claim of worthlessness would not be taxable income to Class B Certificateholders because such amount was previously included in income. Those results should not significantly affect the inclusion of income for Class B Certificateholders on the accrual method of accounting, but could accelerate inclusion of income to Class B Certificateholders on the cash method of accounting by, in effect, placing them on the accrual method. Moreover, the character and timing of loss deductions on certificates such as the Class B Certificates is unclear. Class B Certificateholders are strongly urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the appropriate timing, amount and character of any losses sustained with respect to the Class B Certificates, including any loss resulting from the failure to recover previously accrued interest or discount income. FOREIGN CERTIFICATEHOLDERS Interest attributable to Receivables which is received by a foreign Certificateholder generally will not be subject to the normal 30% withholding tax imposed with respect to such payments, provided that (i) the foreign Certificateholder does not own, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of, and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to, the Seller and (ii) such holder fulfills certain certification requirements. Under such requirements, the holder must certify, under penalty of perjury, that it is not a "United States person" and provide its name and address. For this purpose, "United States person" means a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof or an estate or trust the income of which is includible in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes, regardless of its source. 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 connected to the conduct of a trade or business within the United States by such foreign Certificateholder, such holder will be subject to United States federal income tax thereon at regular rates. 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. INFORMATION REPORTING AND BACKUP WITHHOLDING The Trustee will furnish or make available, within the prescribed period of time for tax reporting purposes after the end of each calendar year, to each Certificateholder or each person holding a Certificate on behalf of a Certificateholder at any time during such year, such information as the Trustee deems necessary or desirable to assist Certificateholders in preparing their federal income tax returns. Payments made on the Certificates and proceeds from the sale of the Certificates will not be subject to a "backup" withholding tax of 31% unless, in general, a Certificateholder fails to comply with certain reporting procedures and is not an exempt recipient under applicable provisions of the Code. THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX DISCUSSION SET FORTH ABOVE IS INCLUDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY AND MAY NOT BE APPLICABLE DEPENDING UPON A HOLDER'S PARTICULAR SITUATION. HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVI- 41 43 SORS WITH RESPECT TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF THE CERTIFICATES, INCLUDING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES UNDER STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN AND OTHER TAX LAWS AND THE POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF CHANGES IN FEDERAL OR OTHER TAX LAWS. ERISA CONSIDERATIONS Section 406 of ERISA, and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit a pension, profit sharing or other employee benefit plan from engaging in certain transactions involving "plan assets" with persons that are "parties in interest" under ERISA or "disqualified persons" under the Code with respect to the plan. ERISA also imposes certain duties on persons who are fiduciaries of plans subject to ERISA and prohibits certain transactions between a plan and parties in interest with respect to such plans. Under ERISA, any person who exercises any authority or control with respect to the management or disposition of the assets of a plan is considered to be a fiduciary of such plan (subject to certain exceptions not here relevant). A violation of these "prohibited transaction" rules may generate excise tax and other liabilities under ERISA and the Code for such persons. Pursuant to a final regulation (the "Final Regulation") issued by the Department of Labor ("DOL") concerning the definition of what constitutes the "plan assets" of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or the Code, or an individual retirement account (an "IRA") (collectively referred to as "Benefit Plans"), the assets and properties of certain entities in which a Benefit Plan makes an equity investment could be deemed to be assets of the Benefit Plan in certain circumstances. Accordingly, if Benefit Plans purchase Class A Certificates, the Trust could be deemed to hold plan assets unless one of the exceptions under the Final Regulation is applicable to the Trust. The DOL has granted an administrative exemption to (Prohibited Transaction Exemption , Fed. Reg. ( )) (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 in 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 recreational vehicle installment obligations such as the Receivables. The Exemption will apply to the acquisition, holding and resale of Class A Certificates by a Benefit Plan, provided that specific conditions (certain of which are described below) are met. It is believed that the Exemption will apply to the acquisition, holding and disposition in the secondary markets of Class A Certificates by Benefit Plans and that all conditions of the Exemption other than those within the control of the investors have been or will be met. Among the conditions which must be satisfied for the Exemption to apply to the acquisition by a Benefit Plan of the Class A Certificates are the following (each of which has been or will be met in connection with the Class A Certificates): (i) The acquisition of the Class A Certificates by a Benefit Plan is on terms (including the price for the Class A 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. (ii) The rights and interests evidenced by the Class A Certificates acquired by the Benefit Plan are not subordinated to the rights and interests evidenced by other Certificates of the Trust. (iii) The Class A Certificates acquired by the Benefit Plan have received a rating at the time of such acquisition that is in one of the three highest generic rating categories from any of Standard & Poor's, Moody's, Duff & Phelps Inc. or Fitch Investors Service, Inc. (iv) The Trustee must not be an affiliate of any other member of the Restricted Group (as defined below). (v) The sum of all payments made to the Underwriters in connection with the distribution of the Class A Certificates represents not more than reasonable compensation for underwriting the Class A Certificates. The sum of all payments made to and retained by the Seller pursuant to the sale of the 42 44 Receivables to the Trust represents not more than the fair market value of such Receivables. The sum of all payments made to and retained by the Servicer represents not more than reasonable compensation for the Servicer's services under the Agreement and reimbursement of the Servicer's reasonable expenses in connection therewith. In addition, it is a condition that the Benefit Plan investing in the Class A Certificates is an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D of the Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Exemption does not apply to Benefit Plans sponsored by the Seller, the Underwriters, the Trustee, the Servicer, any Obligor with respect to the Receivables included in the Trust constituting more than 5% of the aggregate unamortized principal balance of the assets in the Trust or any affiliate of such parties (the "Restricted Group"). As of the date hereof, no Obligor with respect to the Receivables included in the Trust constitutes more than 5% of the aggregate unamortized principal balance of the Trust (i.e., the initial principal amount of the Certificates). Moreover, the Exemption provides relief from certain self-dealing/conflict of interest prohibited transactions, only if, among other requirements (i) a Benefit Plan's investment in the Class A Certificates does not exceed 25% of all of the Class A Certificates outstanding at the time of the acquisition and (ii) immediately after the acquisition, no more than 25% of the assets of a Benefit Plan with respect to which the person who has discretionary authority or renders investment advice are invested in the Class A Certificates representing an interest in a trust containing assets sold or serviced by the same entity. The Exemption will not be available for Class B Certificates because the Class B Certificates are subordinate interests. Accordingly, no Plan will be eligible to purchase or otherwise hold Class B Certificates and no beneficial interest therein may be sold or otherwise transferred to a Plan. Due to the complexities of these rules and the penalties imposed upon persons involved in prohibited transactions, it is important that the fiduciary of an employee benefit plan considering the purchase of Class A Certificates consult with its counsel regarding the applicability of the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and the Code to such investment. The Department of Labor issued Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 95-60 on July 12, 1995 in response to the United States Supreme Court decision John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Co. v. Harris Trust and Savings Bank, 114 S. Ct. 517 (1993), in which the Supreme Court held that assets held in an insurance company's general account may be deemed to be "plan assets" for ERISA purposes under certain circumstances. Subject to certain conditions, PTCE 95-60 provides general relief from the prohibited transaction rules that would otherwise be applicable to assets held in an insurance company's general account. Prospective insurance company purchasers should consult with their counsel to determine whether the decision in John Hancock, as modified by PTCE 95-60, affects their ability to make purchases of the Certificates. 43 45 UNDERWRITING Under the terms and subject to the conditions contained in an Underwriting Agreement dated , 1997 (the "Underwriting Agreement"), the Underwriters named below (the "Underwriters"), for whom is acting as representative (the "Representative"), have severally but not jointly agreed to purchase from the Seller the following respective principal amounts of Class A Certificates and Class B Certificates:
PRINCIPAL AMOUNT PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF CLASS A OF CLASS B UNDERWRITERS CERTIFICATES CERTIFICATES ------------ ---------------- ---------------- .................................................... $ $ .................................................... --------------- ------------- Total...................................... $ $ =============== =============
The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the Underwriters are subject to certain conditions precedent and that the Underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the Certificates if any are purchased. The Underwriters have advised the Seller that the Underwriters propose initially to offer the Class A Certificates and Class B Certificates to the public at the respective public offering prices set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus, and to certain dealers at such prices less a concession not in excess of % of the Class A Certificate denominations and % of the Class B Certificate denominations. The Underwriters may allow and such dealers may reallow a concession not in excess of % of the Class A Certificate denominations and % of the Class B Certificate denominations. After the initial public offering, the public offering prices and such concessions may be changed. The Underwriting Agreement provides that the Seller and Fleetwood Credit will jointly and severally indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under applicable securities laws, or contribute to payments the Underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof. Upon receipt of a request by an investor who has received an electronic Prospectus from an Underwriter or a request by such investor's representative within the period during which there is an obligation to deliver a Prospectus, the Seller or the Underwriters will promptly deliver, or cause to be delivered, without charge, a paper copy of the Prospectus. Until the distribution of the Certificates is completed, rules of the Commission may limit the ability of the Underwriters and certain selling group members to bid for and purchase the Certificates. As an exemption to these rules, the Underwriters are permitted to engage in certain transactions that stabilize the price of the Certificates. Such transactions consist of bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the Certificates. Neither the Seller nor either Underwriter makes any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the prices of the Certificates. In addition, neither the Seller nor either Underwriter makes any representation that the Underwriters will engage in such transactions or that such transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice. 44 46 LEGAL OPINIONS Certain legal matters relating to the Certificates will be passed upon for the Seller by Timothy M. Hayes, Esq., Vice President and Assistant General Counsel to Associates First Capital Corporation, the parent company of the Servicer. Mr. Hayes owns shares of Class A Common Stock of Associates First Capital Corporation, and has options to purchase additional shares of such Class A Common Stock. Arter & Hadden, Washington, D.C. will act as special counsel to the Seller with respect to certain matters relating to the Certificates, including certain federal income tax matters relating to the Certificates. Brown & Wood LLP, San Francisco, California will act as counsel for the Underwriters.

- --------------- * To be completed by amendment. ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Section 317(b) of the California Corporations Code (the "Corporations Code") provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any "proceeding" (as defined in Section 317(a) of the Corporations Code), other than an action by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or other agent of the corporation (collectively, an "Agent"), against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such proceeding if the Agent acted in good faith and in a manner the Agent reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the corporation and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. Section 317(c) of the Corporations Code provides that a corporation shall have power to indemnify any Agent who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was an Agent, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Agent in connection with the defense or settlement of such action if the Agent acted in good faith and in a manner such Agent believed to be in the best interest of the corporation and its shareholders. Section 317(c) further provides that no indemnification may be made thereunder for any of the following: (i) in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which the Agent shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such proceeding is or was pending shall determine that such Agent is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses, (ii) of amounts paid in settling or otherwise disposing of a pending action without court approval and (iii) of expenses incurred in defending a pending action which is settled or otherwise disposed of without court approval. Section 317(d) of the Corporations Code requires that an Agent be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred to the extent the Agent has been successful on the merits in the defense of proceedings referred to in subdivisions (b) or (c) of Section 317. Except as provided in Section 317(d), and pursuant to Section 317(e), indemnification under Section 317 shall be made by the corporation only if specifically authorized and upon a determination that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the Agent has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 317(b) or (c), by any of the following: (i) a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to the proceeding, (ii) if such a quorum of directors is not obtainable, by II-1 51 independent legal counsel in a written opinion, (iii) approval of the shareholders, provided that any shares owned by the Agent may not vote thereon, or (iv) the court in which such proceeding is or was pending. Pursuant to Section 317(f) of the Corporations Code, the corporation may advance expenses incurred in defending any proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by the Agent to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that the Agent is not entitled to be indemnified. Section 317(h) provides, with certain exceptions, that no indemnification shall be made under Section 317 where it appears that it would be inconsistent with a provision of the corporation's articles, bylaws, a shareholder resolution or an agreement which prohibits or otherwise limits indemnification, or where it would be inconsistent with any condition expressly imposed by a court in approving a settlement. Section 317(i) authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of an Agent for liabilities arising by reason of the Agent's status, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the Agent against such liability under the provisions of Section 317. Reference is also made to Section 7 of the Underwriting Agreement between the Underwriters named therein and the Registrant and Fleetwood Credit Corp. (see Exhibit 1.1), which provides for indemnification of the Registrant under certain circumstances. Article IX of the Articles of Incorporation of the Registrant provides for the indemnification of the officers and directors of the Registrant to the fullest extent permissible under California law. Article IV, Section 4.01 of the Bylaws of the Registrant (see Exhibit 3.2) requires that the Registrant indemnify, and, in certain instances, advance expenses to, its agents, with respect to certain costs, expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts incurred in connection with any proceeding, to the full extent permitted by applicable law. In addition, Article IV, Section 4.03 of the Bylaws of the Registrant authorizes the Registrant to purchase and maintain insurance to the extent provided by Section 3.17(i) of the Corporations Code.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes as follows: (a) To provide to the Underwriters at the closing date specified in the Underwriting Agreement certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the Underwriters to provide prompt delivery to each purchaser. (b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of such Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. (c) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Act will be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective. (d) For purposes of determining any liability under the Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus will be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time will be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. II-3 53 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Irving and State of Texas, on the 14th day of August, 1997.

Fleetwood Credit Receivables Corp., a California corporation (the "Seller") and a wholly owned subsidiary of Fleetwood Credit Corp., a California corporation ("Fleetwood Credit"), proposes to sell to __________ and __________ (the "Underwriters"), acting severally and not jointly, for whom __________ is acting as representative (in such capacity, the "Representative"), $__________ aggregate principal amount of _____% Asset Backed Certificates, Class A (the "Class A Certificates") and $__________ aggregate principal amount of _____% Asset Backed Certificates, Class B (the "Class B Certificates" and, together with the Class A Certificates, the "Certificates") of the Fleetwood Credit 1997-B Grantor Trust (the "Trust"). The Certificates will be issued pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement, dated as of __________ 1, 1997 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), among the Seller, Fleetwood Credit, as servicer (in such capacity, the "Servicer"), and __________, as trustee (the "Trustee"). The Class B Certificates will be subordinated to the Class A Certificates to the limited extent described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The Receivables will be sold by Fleetwood Credit to the Seller pursuant to a receivables purchase agreement, dated as of __________ 1, 1997 (the "Receivables Purchase Agreement"), between Fleetwood Credit and the Seller, and the Seller in turn will sell the Receivables to the Trust pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. This Underwriting Agreement shall hereinafter be referred to as "this Agreement." Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. 2. Representations and Warranties of the Seller and Fleetwood Credit. (a) The Seller represents and warrants to, and agrees with, each Underwriter that: (i) A registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-_____), including a form of prospectus, relating to the Certificates has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and either (1) has been declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and is not proposed to be amended or (2) is proposed to be amended by amendment or post-effective amendment. If the Seller does not propose to amend the registration statement and if any post-effective amendment to such registration statement has been filed with the Commission prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the most recent post-effective amendment has been declared effective by the Commission. For purposes of this Agreement, "Effective Time" means (1) if the Seller has advised the Underwriters that it does not propose to amend the registration statement, the date and time as of which such registration statement, or the most recent post-effective amendment thereto (if any) filed prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, was declared effective by the Commission or (2) if the Seller has advised the Underwriters that it proposes to file an amendment or post-effective amendment to the registration statement, the date and time as of which such registration statement, as amended by such amendment or post-effective amendment, as the case may be, is declared effective by the Commission. "Effective Date" means the date of the Effective Time. The registration statement, as amended at the Effective Time, including all information (if any) deemed to be a part of such registration statement as of the Effective Time pursuant to Rule 430A(b) under the Act, and including the exhibits thereto, is hereinafter referred to as the "Registration Statement," and the form of prospectus relating to the Certificates, as first filed with the Commission pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 424(b) under the Act ("Rule 424(b)"), or (if no such filing is required) as included in the Registration Statement, is hereinafter referred to as the "Prospectus." (ii) If the Effective Time is prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement: (1) on the Effective Date, the Registration Statement conformed, and on the date of this Agreement the Registration Statement will conform, in all material respects with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations of the 2 3 Commission promulgated under the Act (the "Rules and Regulations"), and at such times did not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and (2) on the date of this Agreement, at the time of filing of the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) and at the Closing Date, the Prospectus will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Act and the Rules and Regulations, and does not include and will not include any untrue statement of a material fact and does not omit and will not omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If the Effective Time is subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement: (1) on the Effective Date, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Act and the Rules and Regulations and the Registration Statement will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (2) at the Effective Date and at the Closing Date the Prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (3) the Prospectus delivered to the Underwriters for use in connection with this offering was identical to the electronically transmitted copy thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T. The two immediately preceding sentences do not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement or Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Seller by the Underwriters specifically for use therein. (iii) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Seller. (iv) As of the Closing Date, the representations and warranties of the Seller in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement will be true and correct. (b) Fleetwood Credit represents and warrants to, and agrees with, each Underwriter that: (i) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Fleetwood Credit. (ii) As of the Closing Date, the representations and warranties of the Servicer in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement will be true and correct. 3. Purchase, Sale and Delivery of Certificates. On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Seller agrees to sell to the Underwriters, and the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, agree to purchase from the Seller, the respective principal amounts of Class A Certificates and Class B Certificates set forth opposite the names of the Underwriters in Schedule A hereto. The Certificates are to be purchased at a purchase price 3 4 equal to, in the case of (i) the Class A Certificates, __________% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued interest at the Class A Pass-Through Rate from (and including) the Cutoff Date to (but excluding) the Closing Date and (ii) the Class B Certificates, __________% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued interest at the Class B Pass-Through Rate from (and including) the Cutoff Date to (but excluding) the Closing Date. The Seller will deliver the Certificates to the Underwriters against payment of the respective purchase price therefor in immediately available funds to the order of the Seller at the office of Brown & Wood LLP, 555 California Street, San Francisco, California, at 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on __________, 1997, or at such other time not later than seven full Business Days thereafter as the Underwriters and the Seller determine, such time being herein referred to as the "Closing Date." Each Class of Certificates will be initially represented by one certificate registered in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") (the "DTC Certificates"). The interests of beneficial owners of the DTC Certificates will be represented by book entries on the records of DTC and participating members thereof. Definitive certificates evidencing the Class A Certificates or the Class B Certificates will be available only under the limited circumstances specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Pursuant to Rule 15c6-1(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the Trust, the Seller and the Underwriters have agreed that the Closing Date will be not less than five business days following the date hereof. 4. Offering by the Underwriters. It is understood that the Underwriters propose to offer the Certificates for sale to the public as set forth in the Prospectus and will offer and sell the Certificates only as permitted by the applicable securities laws or regulations of any jurisdiction. The Underwriters agree that the Underwriters will not offer or sell any of the Certificates in any jurisdiction outside the United States, except under circumstances that will result in compliance with the applicable laws thereof, and that the Underwriters will take at their own expense whatever action is required to permit the Underwriters' purchase and resale of the Certificates in each such jurisdiction. The Underwriters understand that no action has been taken to permit a public offering in any jurisdiction outside the United States where action would be required for such purpose. The Underwriters agree not to cause any advertisement of the Certificates to be published outside the United States in any newspaper or periodical or posted outside the United States in any public place and not to issue any circular relating to the Certificates outside the United States, except in any such case with the Company's express consent and then only at the Underwriters' own risk and expense. 5. Certain Agreements of the Seller and Fleetwood Credit. Each of the Seller and Fleetwood Credit, as the case may be, covenants and agrees with each Underwriter that: (a) If the Effective Time is prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Seller will file the Prospectus with the Commission pursuant to and in accordance with subparagraph (1) (or, if applicable and if consented to by the Underwriters, subparagraph (4)) of Rule 424(b) not later than the earlier of (i) the second business day following the execution and delivery of this Agreement or (ii) the 4 5 fifth business day after the Effective Date. The Seller will advise the Underwriters promptly of any such filing pursuant to Rule 424(b). (b) The Seller will advise the Underwriters promptly of any proposal to amend or supplement the registration statement as filed or the related prospectus or the Registration Statement or the Prospectus and will not effect any such amendment or supplement without the consent of the Underwriters, which consent will not unreasonably be withheld; and the Seller will also advise the Underwriters promptly of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (if the Effective Time is subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement) and of any amendment or supplement of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus and of the institution by the Commission of any stop order proceedings in respect of the Registration Statement and will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and to obtain as soon as possible its lifting, if issued. (c) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Certificates is required to be delivered under the Act, any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it is necessary at any time to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with the Act, the Seller promptly will prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, with the Commission an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission, or an amendment or supplement which will effect such compliance. Neither the consent of the Underwriters to, nor the delivery by the Underwriters of, any such amendment or supplement shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 6 hereof. (d) As soon as practicable, but not later than 16 months after the effective date of the Registration Statement, the Seller will cause the Trustee to make generally available to holders of the Certificates an earnings statement with respect to the Trust covering a period of at least 12 months beginning after the Effective Date which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act (including, at the option of the Seller, Rule 158 promulgated thereunder). (e) The Seller will furnish to the Underwriters copies of the Registration Statement (at least two of which will be signed and will include all exhibits), each related preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus and all amendments and supplements to such documents, in each case as soon as available and in such quantities as the Underwriters may reasonably request. (f) The Seller will arrange for the qualification of the Certificates for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Underwriters may reasonably designate and will continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Certificates, provided that the Seller shall not be obligated to qualify to do business nor become subject to service of process generally, but only to 5 6 the extent required for such qualification, in any jurisdiction in which it is not currently so qualified. (g) For a period from the date of this Agreement until the retirement of all of the Certificates, or until such time as the Underwriters shall cease to maintain a secondary market in either Class of Certificates, whichever occurs first, the Seller will deliver to the Underwriters the annual statements of compliance and the annual independent certified public accountants' reports furnished to the Trustee pursuant to Article Thirteen of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as soon as such statements and reports are furnished to the Trustee. (h) So long as any of the Certificates are outstanding, the Seller or Fleetwood Credit, as the case may be, shall furnish to the Underwriters, as soon as practicable, (i) all documents required to be distributed to holders of either Class of Certificates (or available at such holders' request) or filed with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act, or any order of the Commission thereunder and (ii) from time to time, any other information concerning the Seller or Fleetwood Credit filed with any government or regulatory authority which is otherwise publicly available, as the Underwriters may reasonably request. (i) Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, the Seller and Fleetwood Credit will, subject to the provisions of Section 8 hereof, pay all expenses incident to the performance of their respective obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation, expenses incident to the printing, reproduction and distribution of the registration statement as originally filed with the Commission and all amendments thereto, any fees charged by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") and Standard & Poor's Ratings Services ("Standard & Poor's" and, together with Moody's, the "Rating Agencies") for the rating of the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates, the fees of DTC in connection with the book-entry registration of the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates and reasonable expenses incurred in distributing preliminary prospectuses and the Prospectus (including any amendments and supplements thereto) and will reimburse the Underwriters for all reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the initial qualification of the Certificates for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Underwriters may designate, including, but not limited to, fees of counsel and disbursements incurred by such counsel in connection therewith. (j) On or before the Closing Date, the Seller and Fleetwood Credit shall cause their respective computer records to be marked relating to the Receivables to show the Trust's absolute ownership of the Receivables, and from and after the Closing Date, Fleetwood Credit Receivables Corp., as Seller, and Fleetwood Credit, as Servicer, shall not take any action inconsistent with the Trust's ownership of the Receivables, other than as permitted by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. (k) To the extent, if any, that the rating provided with respect to the Class A Certificates or the Class B Certificates by either Rating Agency is conditional upon 6 7 the furnishing of documents or the taking of any other actions by the Seller or Fleetwood Credit, the Seller or Fleetwood Credit, as the case may be, shall furnish such documents and take any such other actions. (l) In the event the Servicer obtains a Servicer Letter of Credit pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Seller and the Servicer shall cause the Underwriters to receive: (i) A copy of the Servicer Letter of Credit. (ii) An original of the servicer letter of credit reimbursement agreement (the "Reimbursement Agreement") between the Servicer and the letter of credit bank named therein (the "Letter of Credit Bank") pursuant to which the Servicer Letter of Credit was issued.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and not in its individual capacity, has caused this Class A Certificate to be duly executed.

Distributions on this Class B Certificate will be made by the Trustee by check or money order mailed to the related Class B Certificateholder of record in the Certificate Register without the presentation or surrender of this Class B Certificate or the making of any notation hereon, except that with respect to Class B Certificates registered in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee for The Depository Trust Company, distributions will be made in the form of immediately available funds. Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and notwithstanding the foregoing, the final distribution on this Class B Certificate will be made after due notice by the Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Class B Certificate at the office or agency maintained for that purpose by the Trustee. The Certificates do not represent an obligation of, or an interest in, the Seller, the Servicer or any of their respective affiliates. The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Receivables and monies on deposit in the Reserve Fund, all as more specifically set forth in the Agreement. A copy of the Agreement B-2 20 may be examined during normal business hours at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and at such other places, if any, designated by the Trustee, by any Certificateholder upon request. The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the parties thereto and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 51% of the Voting Interests of all Certificates, voting together as a single class. Any such consent by the Holder of this Class B Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and on all future Holders of this Class B Certificate and of any Class B Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Class B Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Class B Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Class B Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Trustee in its capacity as Certificate Registrar, or by any successor Certificate Registrar, in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Class B Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated transferee. The Class B Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Class B Certificates are exchangeable for new Class B Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charges payable in connection therewith. Prior to due presentation of this Class B Certificate for registration of transfer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and any of their respective agents may treat the Person in whose name this Class B Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. The obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement and the Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the payment to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement or the maturity or liquidation of the last Receivable and the disposition of all property held as part of the Trust. The Seller or the Servicer, or any successor to the Servicer, may, at its option, purchase the corpus of the Trust at a price specified in the Agreement, and such purchase of the Receivables and other property of the B-3 21 Trust will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such right of purchase is exercisable only as of a Record Date as of which the Pool Balance is 10% or less of the Original Pool Balance. If neither the Seller nor the Servicer exercises its optional termination right within 90 days after the Record Date as of which such right can first be exercised, the Trustee shall solicit bids for the purchase of all Receivables and other property remaining in the Trust and such sale of the Receivables and other property of the Trust will effect early retirement of the Certificates. Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed by an authorized officer of the Trustee, by manual signature, this Class B Certificate shall not entitle the Holder hereof to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose. B-4 22 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and not in its individual capacity, has caused this Class B Certificate to be duly executed.

Unless the breach shall have been cured by the second Record Date following the discovery (or, at the Seller's option, the first Record Date following the discovery), the Seller shall repurchase any Receivable materially and adversely affected by the breach, as of such 18 25 Record Date. If necessary, the Seller shall enforce the obligation of Fleetwood Credit under the Receivables Purchase Agreement to repurchase such Receivable from the Seller. In consideration of the purchase of any such Receivable, the Seller shall remit the Repurchase Amount of such Receivable (less the amount of any Liquidation Proceeds with respect to such Receivable deposited, or to be deposited, by the Servicer in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 13.03) to the Certificate Account in the manner specified in Section 14.06(a)(i). In the event that, as of the date of execution and delivery of the Agreement, any Liens shall have been filed, including Liens for work, labor or materials relating to a Financed Vehicle, that shall be prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien granted by the related Receivable (whether or not the Seller has knowledge thereof), and such breach materially and adversely affects the interests of the Trust in such Receivable, the Seller shall repurchase such Receivable on the terms and in the manner specified above. The sole remedy of the Trustee, the Trust or the Certificateholders with respect to a breach of the Seller's representations and warranties set forth in Article Seven of the Agreement or Section 12.01 hereof or with respect to the existence of any such Liens shall be to require the Seller to repurchase Receivables pursuant to this Section and to enforce Fleetwood Credit's obligation to the Seller to repurchase such Receivables from the Seller pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement. Section 12.03. Conveyance of Receivables. The Seller, pursuant to the mutually agreed upon terms contained in the Agreement, shall sell, transfer, assign and otherwise convey to the Trustee, without recourse (but subject to the Seller's obligations in the Agreement), all of its right, title and interest in and to the Receivables and any proceeds related thereto, including any other items as shall be specified in the Agreement. It is the intention of the Seller and the Certificateholders (as evidenced by the acceptance of their Certificates) that the transfer and assignment contemplated by the Agreement shall constitute a sale of the Receivables from the Seller to the Trust and the beneficial interest in and title to the Receivables shall not be part of the Seller's estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy law. The Seller agrees to execute and file all filings (including filings under the UCC) necessary in any jurisdiction to provide third parties with notice of the sale of the Receivables and to perfect such sale under the UCC. In the event the transfer and assignment contemplated by the Agreement is deemed to be other than a sale, the parties intend that all filings described in the foregoing paragraph shall give the Trustee on behalf of the Trust a first priority perfected security interest in, to and under the related Receivables, and other property conveyed hereunder and all proceeds of any of the foregoing. The Agreement shall be deemed to be the grant of a security interest from the Seller to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, and the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall have all the rights, powers and privileges of a secured party under the UCC. In such event, the Seller agrees to take such action and execute such documents as the Trustee shall request in order fully to realize the benefits of such secured party status, including, without limitation, powers of attorneys, financing statements, notices of lien or other instruments or documents. 19 26 Section 12.04.

The Servicer shall be deemed to have received proper instructions with respect to the Receivable Files upon its receipt of written instructions signed by an Authorized Officer. A certified copy of a bylaw or of a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Trustee shall constitute conclusive evidence of the authority of any such Authorized Officer to act and shall be considered in full force and effect until receipt by the Servicer of written notice to the contrary given by the Trustee. Section 12.07. Indemnification by Servicer as Custodian. The Servicer, as custodian, shall indemnify the Trustee for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, compensatory damages, payments, costs or expenses of any kind whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred or asserted against the Trustee as the result of any improper act or omission in any way relating to the maintenance and custody by the Servicer, as custodian, of the Receivable Files; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be liable for any portion of any such amount resulting from the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Trustee. Section 12.08. Effective Period and Termination. The Servicer's appointment as custodian shall become effective as of the Cutoff Date and shall continue in full force and effect until terminated pursuant to this Section.

As soon as practicable after any termination of such appointment, the Servicer shall deliver the Receivable Files to the Trustee or its agent at such place or places as the Trustee may reasonably designate. Notwithstanding the termination of the Servicer as custodian, the Trustee agrees that upon any such termination, the Trustee shall provide, or cause its agent to provide, access to the Receivable Files to the Servicer for the purpose of carrying out its duties and responsibilities with respect to the servicing of the Receivables hereunder. 21 28 ARTICLE THIRTEEN ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES Section 13.01. Duties of Servicer. The Servicer, as agent for the Trustee, shall administer the Receivables with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to all comparable recreational vehicle receivables that it services for itself or others. The Servicer's duties shall include collecting and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors or by federal, state or local government authorities with respect to the Receivables, investigating delinquencies, reporting tax information to Obligors in accordance with its customary practices and accounting for collections and furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Trustee with respect to distributions, making Advances pursuant to Section 14.04 and making Non-Reimbursable Payments pursuant to Section 14.05. The Servicer shall follow its customary standards, policies and procedures in performing its duties as Servicer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall be authorized and empowered by the Trustee to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Trust, the Trustee or the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Receivables or the related Financed Vehicles. If the Servicer shall commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Receivable, including a Defaulted Receivable, the Trustee shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned, solely for the purpose of collection on behalf of the party retaining an interest in such Receivable, such Receivable and the other property conveyed to the Trust pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Agreement with respect to such Receivable to the Servicer for the purposes of participating in such proceeding. If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it shall be held that the Servicer may not enforce a Receivable on the grounds that it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Receivable, the Trustee shall, at the Servicer's expense and direction, take steps to enforce the Receivable, including bringing suit in its name or the name of the Certificateholders. The Trustee shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder. Section 13.02. Collection of Receivable Payments. The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Receivables as and when the same shall become due and shall follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to all comparable recreational vehicle receivables that it services for itself or others. If, as a result of extending of payments (including any increase in the number of payments) in the ordinary course of the Servicer's collection procedures, any Receivable will be outstanding on the Final Scheduled Distribution Date, then the Servicer shall repurchase such Receivable pursuant to Section 13.07 or Section 21.02. In addition, in the event that any such rescheduling or extension of a Receivable modifies the terms of such Receivable in such a manner as to constitute a cancellation of such Receivable and the creation of a new receivable, the Servicer shall purchase such Receivable pursuant to Section 13.07, and the receivable created shall not be included in the Trust. For the purpose of such repurchases pursuant to Section 13.07, notice shall be deemed to have been received 22 29 by the Servicer at such time as shall make repurchase mandatory as of the related Record Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, extensions or modifications of the payment schedule of a Receivable cannot be made unless the related Receivable is in default or a default thereunder is imminent or if such extension or modification is required by law. The Servicer may, in accordance with its customary standards, policies and procedures, in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or any other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing a Receivable and (ii) waive the payment by the related Obligor of Accrued Interest on any Receivable; provided that, in connection with any such waiver of Accrued Interest, the Servicer shall make an Advance in respect of the Accrued Interest so waived in accordance with Section 14.04, it being understood and agreed that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Agreement, the obligation of the Servicer hereunder shall be absolute and shall be performed regardless of whether the Servicer determines that such Advance shall be recoverable and that the Servicer shall have no right of reimbursement therefor. Section 13.03. Realization Upon Receivables. On behalf of the Trust, the Servicer shall use its best efforts, consistent with its customary servicing procedures, to repossess or otherwise take possession of the Financed Vehicle securing any Receivable which the Servicer shall have determined to be or that the Servicer believes will become a Defaulted Receivable (and shall specify such Receivables to the Trustee no later than the Determination Date following the end of the Collection Period in which the Servicer shall have made such determination). The Servicer shall follow such customary and usual practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable in its servicing of recreational vehicle receivables, which may include reasonable efforts to realize upon any recourse to Dealers, consigning a Financed Vehicle to a dealer for resale and selling a Financed Vehicle at public or private sale. The Servicer shall be entitled to recover all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it in the course of converting a Financed Vehicle into cash proceeds. The Liquidation Proceeds realized in connection with any such action with respect to a Receivable shall be deposited by the Servicer in the Certificate Account in the manner specified in Section 14.06(a)(ii) and shall be applied to reduce (or to satisfy, as the case may be) the Repurchase Amount of the Receivable, if such Receivable is to be repurchased by the Seller pursuant to Section 12.02 or by the Servicer pursuant to Section 13.07; provided, however, that if such Liquidation Proceeds are recovered subsequent to the purchase of a Receivable by the Seller such Liquidation Proceeds shall be paid to the Seller within two Business Days of receipt or, if received with respect to a Receivable purchased by the Servicer, may be retained by the Servicer or deposited in the Certificate Account in satisfaction of other obligations of the Servicer hereunder. The foregoing shall be subject to the proviso that, in any case in which a Financed Vehicle shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not expend funds in connection with the repair or the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless it shall determine in its discretion that such repair and/or repossession will increase the Liquidation Proceeds of the related Receivable by an amount equal to or greater than the amount of such expenses. Section 13.04. Physical Damage Insurance. The Servicer, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures and underwriting standards, shall require that each Obligor 23 30 shall have obtained and maintained physical damage insurance covering each Financed Vehicle as of the date of execution of the related Receivable. Section 13.05. Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Vehicles. The Servicer, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures, shall take such steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest created by each Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle including the filing of financing statements and continuation statements with respect to the transfer of the security interest in such Financed Vehicle to the Trust. The Trustee hereby authorizes the Servicer, and the Servicer hereby agrees, to take such steps as are necessary to reperfect such security interest on behalf of the Trust in the event of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle or for any other reason. In the event that the assignment of a Receivable to the Trust is insufficient, without a notation on the related Financed Vehicle's certificate of title, to grant to the Trust a first perfected security interest in the related Financed Vehicle, the Servicer hereby agrees to serve as the agent of the Trust for the purpose of perfecting the security interest in such Financed Vehicle and that the Servicer's listing as the secured party on the certificate of title is in its capacity as agent of the Trust. Section 13.06. Covenants of Servicer. The Servicer shall make the following covenants on which the Trustee will rely in accepting the Receivables in trust and authenticating the Certificates: (i) Security Interest to Remain in Force. Except as contemplated by the Agreement, the Financed Vehicle securing each Receivable shall not be released by the Servicer from the security interest granted by the Receivable in whole or in part. (ii) No Impairment. The Servicer shall not impair the rights of the Certificateholders in the Receivables. (iii) Amendments. The Servicer shall not increase the number of payments under a Receivable except as permitted pursuant to Section 13.02, nor increase the Amount Financed under a Receivable. Section 13.07. Purchase of Receivables Upon Breach. The Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall inform the other party promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of any breach by the Servicer of its obligations pursuant to Section 13.06 which materially and adversely affects the interest of the Trust in any Receivable or pursuant to Section 13.02 in the case of a Receivable for which the related payment schedule has been extended or modified. Unless the breach shall have been cured by the second Record Date following the date of such discovery (or, at the Servicer's election, the first following Record Date), the Servicer shall purchase any Receivable materially and adversely affected by such breach as of such second Record Date. In consideration of the purchase of such Receivable, the Servicer shall remit the Repurchase Amount (less any Liquidation Proceeds deposited, or concurrently being deposited, in the Certificate Account with respect to such Receivable pursuant to Section 13.03) to the Certificate Account in the manner specified in Section 14.06(a)(i). The sole remedy of the Trustee, the Trust or the Certificateholders against the Servicer with 24 31 respect to a breach pursuant to Section 13.02 or 13.06 shall be to require the Servicer to repurchase Receivables pursuant to this Section. Section 13.08. Servicing Fee. The Servicing Fee for a Collection Period shall equal the product of one twelfth times the Servicing Fee Rate times the Pool Balance as of the Record Date immediately preceding the first day of such Collection Period, except that in the case of the first Collection Period, the Servicing Fee shall equal the product of one twelfth times the Servicing Fee Rate times the Original Pool Balance. The Servicing Fee for any Collection Period shall be calculated based on a 360 day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. In addition, the Servicer shall also be entitled to receive as additional servicing compensation all late payment and extension fees, and other administrative fees with respect to the Receivables, collected (from whatever source) on the Receivables; provided, however, such late payment and other fees shall not form a part of the Servicing Fee and the Servicer shall be entitled to such fees as and when collected. Section 13.09. Servicer's Certificate. On or before each Determination Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and the Letter of Credit Bank, if any, a Servicer's Certificate containing all information necessary to make the distributions pursuant to Section 14.07 in respect of the Collection Period preceding the date of such Servicer's Certificate and all information necessary for the Trustee to send statements to Certificateholders pursuant to Section 14.10.

The Servicer shall provide to the Certificateholders access to the Receivable Files in such cases where the Certificateholders shall be required by applicable statutes or regulations to review such documentation. Access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during the normal business hours at the respective offices of the Servicer. Nothing in this Section shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors, and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section. 26 33 Section 13.13.

Certificate Account. (a) The Servicer shall establish the Certificate Account in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Certificate Account shall be a segregated trust account initially established with the Trustee and maintained (i) with the Trustee so long as the deposits of the Trustee have the Required Deposit Rating, or (ii) in a non-interest bearing segregated trust account bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders, located in the corporate trust department of a depository institution or trust company having corporate trust powers under applicable federal and state laws (which may include the Trustee) organized under the laws of the United States or any State and, if required by any Rating Agency, having the Required Long Term Debt Rating. (b) For so long as the bank or trust company then maintaining the Certificate Account has the Required Deposit Rating, all amounts held in the Certificate Account shall, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, rules and regulations, be invested, as directed by the Servicer, in Permitted Investments. In the event that the short-term unsecured debt obligations of the Trustee no longer have the Required Deposit Rating, then the Servicer shall, with the Trustee's assistance as necessary, cause the Certificate Account to be moved within 15 days of such occurrence (i) to a bank or trust company, the short-term unsecured debt obligations of which shall have the Required Deposit Rating, or (ii) to a non-interest bearing segregated trust account bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders, located in the corporate trust department of a depository institution or trust company having corporate trust powers under applicable federal and state laws (which may include the Trustee) organized under the laws of the United States or any State and, if required by any Rating Agency, having the Required Long Term Debt Rating. Earnings on investment of funds in the Certificate Account shall be paid to the Servicer. Section 14.02. Collections. The Servicer shall remit to the Certificate Account on a daily basis within two Business Days of receipt thereof, all payments by or on behalf of the Obligors (other than the amounts listed in subclauses (i)(a) and (b) of the definition of Available Funds as not constituting Available Funds) on or in respect of the Receivables (other than Repurchased Receivables) and all Liquidation Proceeds both as collected during each Collection Period. Fleetwood Credit has requested that the Servicer be permitted to make remittances of collections on a less frequent basis than that specified in the immediately preceding sentence upon the Servicer's compliance with the specific terms and conditions set forth below in this Section and for so long as such terms and conditions are fulfilled. Accordingly, notwithstanding the provisions of the first sentence of this Section, the Servicer will be 28 35 permitted to remit such collections to the Certificate Account in Automated Clearinghouse Corporation next-day funds or immediately available funds no later than 12:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding each Distribution Date but only for so long as (a)(i) except as provided in clause (b) below, the short-term credit rating of the Servicer is at least equal to the Required Servicer Rating by each Rating Agency, and (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; provided, however, that immediately following the non-compliance with clause (i) above or in the event that an event of the nature specified in clause (iii) of Section 19.01 has occurred (notwithstanding any period of grace contained in such clause), the Servicer shall remit such collections to the Certificate Account on a daily basis within two Business Days of receipt thereof, or (b)(i) if the condition specified in clause (a)(ii) above is satisfied, and (ii) the Servicer shall have obtained a Servicer Letter of Credit issued in favor of the Trustee by a depository institution or insurance company, as the case may be, having a short-term credit rating at least equal to the Required Deposit Rating and providing that the Trustee may draw thereon in the event that the Servicer fails to deposit collections into the Certificate Account on a monthly basis; provided that in connection with clause (b) above, the Servicer provides, to the Trustee, from each Rating Agency for which the Servicer's then-current short-term credit rating is not at least equal to the Required Servicer Rating for such Rating Agency, a letter to the effect that the satisfaction of the conditions in clause (b) above and allowing the Servicer to make monthly deposits will not result in a qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the then-current rating of the Rated Certificates and, if applicable, an Officer's Certificate from the Servicer to the effect that the Servicer's then-current short-term credit rating is at least equal to the Required Servicer Rating from each other Rating Agency, if any; and, provided further, that if the Servicer shall have obtained a Servicer Letter of Credit in accordance with clause (b) above, the Servicer shall be required to remit such collections in the manner provided for in Section 15.01(c) under the conditions specified in such Section. The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any event or circumstance under clause (a)(ii) above that would require daily remittance by the Servicer to the Certificate Account unless it has received notice of such event or circumstance from the Seller or the Servicer in an Officer's Certificate or from Certificateholders as provided in Section 19.01. For purposes of this Article the phrase "payments made on behalf of Obligors" shall mean payments made by Persons other than the Seller, the Servicer or the Letter of Credit Bank, if any. Any funds held by the Servicer which it determines are to be remitted (or any of its own funds which the Seller or the Servicer determines to pay to the Letter of Credit Bank) in respect of a failure previously to remit collections which failure resulted in a payment under any Servicer Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 15.01 shall not be remitted to the Certificate Account, but shall instead be paid immediately and directly to the Letter of Credit Bank. Any such payment to the Letter of Credit Bank shall be accompanied by a copy of the Servicer's Certificate related to the previous failure to remit funds and an Officer's Certificate which includes a statement identifying, by reference to the items in such Servicer's Certificate, each shortfall in Servicer remittances to which such payment relates. The Servicer will also provide the Trustee with copies of each such Servicer's Certificate and Officer's Certificate delivered with any such payment to the Letter of Credit Bank. 29 36 Section 14.03. Application of Collections. As of each Record Date, all collections for the related Collection Period shall be applied by the Servicer as follows: with respect to each Receivable (including a Defaulted Receivable), payments by or on behalf of an Obligor shall be applied first to late payment and extension fees, second to interest accrued on the Receivable, third to principal of the Receivable and fourth to administrative charges, if any. Any excess shall be applied to pay the principal balance of the Receivable. Section 14.04. Advances. As of each Record Date, the Servicer shall purchase from the Trust the aggregate Accrued Interest on the Receivables (including Accrued Interest waived by the Servicer pursuant to Section 13.02) at a price equal to the face value thereof. On the Business Day immediately preceding the related Distribution Date, the Servicer shall deposit an amount equal to the Accrued Interest in respect of each Receivable (an "Advance") in the Certificate Account in Automated Clearinghouse Corporation next-day funds or immediately available funds. The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for unreimbursed Advances, without interest, with respect to a Receivable from subsequent Collected Interest allocable with respect to such Receivable, Liquidation Proceeds of or the Repurchase Amount of such Receivable or as otherwise provided in Section 14.07, except as otherwise provided in Sections 13.02 and 13.07. Except as otherwise provided in Section 13.02, the Servicer shall not be required to purchase Accrued Interest and make an Advance to the extent that the Servicer, in its sole discretion, shall determine that such Advance will not be recoverable from subsequent payments by or on behalf of the related Obligor, Liquidation Proceeds or the Repurchase Amount with respect to such Receivable (whether such Receivable is purchased by the Seller or the Servicer, to the extent such right of reimbursement is not waived in connection with any such repurchase) or otherwise. Section 14.05. Non-Reimbursable Payments. As of each Record Date, the Servicer shall be required to make a payment (the "Non-Reimbursable Payment") equal to the amount of interest that accrued on the aggregate Collected Principal for the related Collection Period, at a rate equal to the sum of (i) the weighted average of the Class A Pass- Through Rate and the Class B Pass-Through Rate as of the Closing Date and (ii) the Servicing Fee Rate, from the date of collection of each payment of principal on or in respect of the Receivables comprising part of such aggregate Collected Principal through such Record Date, based on a year with the actual number of days in such year and consisting of twelve months with the actual number of days in such month. The Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement for any Non-Reimbursable Payment from the Trust, the Trustee, the Seller or the Letter of Credit Bank, if any. On the Business Day immediately preceding each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall deposit into the Certificate Account in Automated Clearinghouse Corporation next-day funds or immediately available funds an amount equal to the aggregate Non-Reimbursable Payments to be made in respect of the related Collection Period. Section 14.06. Additional Deposits. (a) The following additional deposits shall be made to the Certificate Account: (i) the Servicer or the Seller, as the case may be, shall remit the aggregate Repurchase Amount with respect to Repurchased Receivables pursuant to Sections 12.02, 13.07 and 21.02, (ii) the Servicer shall remit the aggregate Liquidation Proceeds received during each Collection 30 37 Period (less any Liquidation Proceeds paid to the Seller or retained by the Servicer) pursuant to Section 13.03 and (iii) the Trustee shall deposit (A) the aggregate of any amounts received from any Letter of Credit Bank pursuant to Article Fifteen or (B) from the sale of Receivables pursuant to Section 21.03, in each case on the date of receipt thereof. (b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 14.02, all deposits required to be made in respect of a Collection Period pursuant to this Section by the Seller or the Servicer may be made in the form of a single deposit by the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, and shall be made in Automated Clearinghouse Corporation next-day funds or immediately available funds, no later than 12:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Business Day preceding each Distribution Date. Section 14.07. Distributions. (a) The rights of the Class B Certificateholders to receive distributions in respect of the Class B Certificates shall be and hereby are subordinated to the rights of the Class A Certificateholders to receive distributions in respect of the Class A Certificates to the extent provided in this Section. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall cause to be made the following transfers and distributions from the Certificate Account in respect of the related Collection Period in the following order of priority and in the amounts set forth in the Servicer's Certificate for such Distribution Date: (i) to the Servicer in reimbursement of an Advance previously made in respect of a Receivable, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, from monies on deposit in the Certificate Account in respect of (A) the amount of Collected Interest collected during the related Collection Period in respect of the related Receivable, (B) the interest portion of the Repurchase Amount (to the extent that the Repurchase Amount does not consist in part of a waiver of the right to reimbursement for an Advance made in respect of such Receivable, as provided in Section 13.02) and (C) the interest portion of Liquidation Proceeds of such Receivable; provided that no repayment of an Advance made by the Servicer in respect of a Receivable pursuant to this subclause, when taken together with all previous repayments made in respect of such Advance, may exceed the actual amount of the Advance; (ii) to the Servicer, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the aggregate payment of the Servicing Fee (including any unpaid Servicing Fees with respect to one or more prior Collection Periods); provided, however, that such fees shall be provided from Available Funds only to the extent, as determined by the Servicer pursuant to Section 14.03, such funds represent payment in respect of the Receivables allocable to interest; (iii) to the Class A Certificateholders as of the previous Record Date from Collected Interest (after giving effect to the reduction in Collected Interest described in clauses (i) and (ii) above), an amount equal to the sum of the Class A Interest Distributable Amount and any outstanding Class A Interest Carryover Shortfall; and, if such Collected Interest is insufficient, the Class A Certificateholders will receive 31 38 such shortfall first, from the Class B Percentage of Collected Principal and second, if such amounts are still insufficient, from monies on deposit in the Reserve Fund; (iv) to the Class B Certificateholders as of the previous Record Date, from Collected Interest (after giving effect to the reduction in Collected Interest described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above), an amount equal to the sum of the Class B Interest Distributable Amount and any outstanding Class B Interest Carryover Shortfall; and, if such Collected Interest is insufficient, the Class B Certificateholders will receive such shortfall from monies on deposit in the Reserve Fund; (v) to the Class A Certificateholders as of the previous Record Date, from Collected Principal (after giving effect to reduction in Collected Principal described in clause (iii) above) an amount equal to the sum of the Class A Principal Distributable Amount and any outstanding Class A Principal Carryover Shortfall; and, if such Collected Principal is insufficient, the Class A Certificateholders will receive such shortfall first, from Collected Interest (after giving effect to the reduction in Collected Interest described in clauses (i) through (iv) above) and second, if such amounts are still insufficient, from monies on deposit in the Reserve Fund; and (vi) to the Class B Certificateholders as of the previous Record Date, from Collected Principal (after giving effect to the reduction in Collected Principal described in clauses (iii) and (v) above), an amount equal to the sum of the Class B Principal Distributable Amount and any outstanding Class B Principal Carryover Shortfall; and, if such Collected Principal is insufficient, the Class B Certificateholders will receive such shortfall first, from Collected Interest (after giving effect to the reduction in Collected Interest described in clauses (i) through (v) above) and second, if such amounts are still insufficient, from monies on deposit in the Reserve Fund. (b) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute any excess amounts remaining in the Certificate Account in respect of the related Collection Period after making the distributions described in clauses (a)(i) through (vi) above ("Excess Amounts") in the following amounts and in the following order of priority: (i) into the Reserve Fund until the amount on deposit therein equals the Specified Reserve Fund Balance, and (ii) to the Seller. (c) Subject to Section 21.01 with respect to the final payment upon retirement of each Certificate, on each Distribution Date the Trustee shall distribute to the respective Certificateholders of record as of the previous Record Date by check mailed by the Trustee to each Certificateholder's respective address (or if DTC, its nominee or a Clearing Agency is the relevant Certificateholder, by wire transfer of immediately available funds or pursuant to other arrangements) the amount to be distributed to such Certificateholder pursuant to such Holder's Certificate. (d) In the event that the Servicer determines that the amount of an Advance previously made in respect of a Receivable which became a Defaulted Receivable is not recoverable as a result of the fact that Liquidation Proceeds of such Defaulted Receivable are 32 39 insufficient to fully reimburse the Servicer for such Advance, the Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw from the Certificate Account an amount equal to the amount that would be necessary to fully reimburse the Servicer for such Advance, and the amount available for the other distributions pursuant to this Section will be reduced accordingly. Section 14.08. Subordination; Reserve Fund; Priority of Distributions. (a) (i) In order to effectuate the subordination provided for herein and to assure that sufficient amounts to make required distributions to Certificateholders will be available, the Servicer shall establish and maintain with the Trustee a separate trust account (the "Reserve Fund") which will include the money and other property deposited and held therein pursuant to Section 14.07(b)(i) and this Section. Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, the Reserve Fund shall (A) be a segregated trust account initially established with the Trustee and maintained with the Trustee so long as the commercial paper, other short-term unsecured debt obligations or uninsured deposits of the Trustee have the Required Rating and (B) in the event that the commercial paper, other short-term unsecured debt obligations or uninsured deposits of the Trustee no longer have the Required Rating, within ten Business Days the Servicer shall, with the assistance of the Trustee as necessary, cause the Reserve Fund to be moved to (1) a segregated deposit account in a bank or trust company the commercial paper, other short-term unsecured debt obligations or uninsured deposits of which shall have the Required Rating, or (2) segregated trust accounts bearing designations clearly indicating the funds deposited therein are held in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders, located in the corporate trust department of a depository institution or trust company (which may include the Trustee) having a long-term deposit rating from Moody's (so long as Moody's is a Rating Agency) of at least Baa3 (or such lower rating as Moody's shall approve in writing) and corporate trust powers under applicable federal and state laws and organized under the laws of the United States, any State or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall deposit an amount equal to the Reserve Fund Initial Deposit into the Reserve Fund. The Reserve Fund shall not be part of the Trust but instead will be held for the benefit of the Holders of the Certificates. The Seller hereby acknowledges that any money and other property held in the Reserve Fund, including the Reserve Fund Initial Deposit (and any investment earnings thereon), is owned directly by it, and the Seller hereby agrees to treat the same as its assets (and earnings) for federal income, state and local franchise tax purposes. (ii) In order to give effect to the subordination provided for herein and to assure availability of the amounts maintained in the Reserve Fund, the Seller hereby sells, conveys and transfers to the Trustee, as collateral agent, and its successors and assigns, the Reserve Fund Initial Deposit and all proceeds thereof and hereby pledges to the Trustee as collateral agent, and its successors and assigns, all other amounts deposited in or credited to the Reserve Fund from time to time under the Agreement, all Permitted Investments made with amounts on deposit therein, all earnings and 33 40 distributions thereon and proceeds thereof (other than proceeds constituting net investment earnings attributable to the Reserve Fund Property) subject, however, to the limitations set forth below, and solely for the purpose of securing and providing for payment of the Class A and Class B Distributable Amounts, together with any Class A and Class B Interest Carryover Shortfalls and Class A and Class B Principal Carryover Shortfalls, in accordance with Section 14.07 and this Section (all the foregoing, subject to the limitations set forth below, being the "Reserve Fund Property"), to have and to hold all the aforesaid property, rights and privileges unto the Trustee, its successors and assigns, in trust for the uses and purposes, and subject to the terms and provisions, set forth in this Section. The Trustee hereby acknowledges such transfer and accepts the trusts hereunder and shall hold and distribute the Reserve Fund Property in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Section. (iii) Consistent with the limited purposes for which such trust is granted on each Distribution Date, the amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund shall be available for distribution as provided in Section 14.07, in accordance with and subject to the following: if the amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund (after giving effect to all deposits thereto and withdrawals therefrom on such Distribution Date) is greater than the Specified Reserve Fund Balance, the Trustee shall release and distribute all such amounts to the Seller. Upon any such distribution to the Seller, the Certificateholders will have no further rights in, or claims to, such amounts. (b) (i) Amounts held in the Reserve Fund shall be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with written instructions from the Seller and such investments shall not be sold or disposed of prior to their maturity. Investment earnings attributable to the Reserve Fund Property shall not be available to satisfy the subordination provisions of the Agreement and shall not otherwise be subject to any claims or rights of the Certificateholders or the Servicer. All such investments shall be made in the name of the Trustee or its nominee, as collateral agent, and all income and gain realized thereon shall be solely for the benefit of the Seller and shall be payable by the Trustee to the Seller on each Distribution Date. Realized losses, if any, on investment of the Reserve Fund Property shall be charged first against undistributed investment earnings attributable to the Reserve Fund Property and then against the Reserve Fund Property. (ii) With respect to the Reserve Fund Property, the Seller on behalf of itself, its successors and assigns and the Trustee agree that: (A) Any Reserve Fund Property that is held in deposit accounts shall be held solely in the name of the Trustee, as collateral agent, at the Trustee (in a segregated trust account if the deposits of the Trustee do not have the Required Deposit Rating) or at one or more depository institutions which have the Required Deposit Rating. Each such deposit account shall be subject to the exclusive custody and control of the Trustee, and the Trustee shall have sole signature authority with respect thereto. 34 41 (B) Any Reserve Fund Property that constitutes Physical Property shall be delivered to the Trustee, as collateral agent, in accordance with paragraph (a) of the definition of "Delivery" and shall be held, pending maturity or disposition, solely by the Trustee, as collateral agent, or a Financial Intermediary acting solely for the Trustee, as collateral agent. (C) Any Reserve Fund Property that is a book-entry security held through the Federal Reserve System pursuant to federal book-entry regulations shall be delivered in accordance with paragraph (b) of the definition of "Delivery" and shall be maintained by the Trustee, as collateral agent, pending maturity or disposition, through continued book-entry registration of such Reserve Fund Property as described in such paragraph. (D) Any Reserve Fund Property that is an "uncertificated security" under Article 8 of the UCC and that is not governed by clause (C) above shall be delivered to the Trustee, as collateral agent, in accordance with paragraph (c) of the definition of "Delivery" and shall be maintained by the Trustee, as collateral agent, pending maturity or disposition, through continued registration of the Trustee's or its Financial Intermediary's (or its custodian's or its nominee's) ownership of such security, in its capacity as collateral agent. Effective upon Delivery of any Reserve Fund Property in the form of Physical Property, book-entry securities or uncertificated securities, the Trustee shall be deemed to have purchased such Reserve Fund Property for value, in good faith and without notice of any adverse claim thereto. (iii) Each of the Seller and the Servicer agrees to take or cause to be taken such further actions, to execute, deliver and file or cause to be executed, delivered and filed such further documents and instruments (including, without limitation, any UCC financing statements or the Agreement) as may be determined to be necessary in an Opinion of Counsel to the Seller delivered to the Trustee in order to perfect the interests created by this Section and otherwise fully to effectuate the purposes, terms and conditions of this Section. The Seller and/or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall: (A) promptly execute, deliver and file any financing statements, amendments, continuation statements, assignments, certificates and other documents with respect to such interests and perform all such other acts as may be necessary in order to perfect or to maintain the perfection of the Trustee's security interest; and (B) make the necessary filings of financing statements or amendments thereto within five days after the occurrence of any of the following: (1) any change in its corporate name or any trade name; (2) any change in the location of its chief executive office or principal place of 35 42 business; and (3) any merger or consolidation or other change in its identity or corporate structure and promptly notify the Trustee of any such filings. (iv) The Trustee shall not enter into any subordination or intercreditor agreement with respect to the Reserve Fund Property. (c) Upon termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 21.01, any amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund, after payment of amounts due to the Class A and Class B Certificateholders, shall be paid to the Seller. Section 14.09. Net Deposits. For so long as (i) Fleetwood Credit shall be the Servicer and (ii) the Servicer shall be entitled pursuant to Section 14.02 to remit collections on a monthly rather than daily basis, the Servicer may make the remittances pursuant to Sections 14.02, 14.04, 14.05 and 14.06 net of amounts to be distributed to the Servicer pursuant to Section 14.07. Nonetheless, the Servicer shall account for all of the above described remittances and distributions in the Servicer's Certificate as if the amounts were deposited and/or distributed separately. Section 14.10. Statements to Certificateholders. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall include with each distribution to each Class A Certificateholder and Class B Certificateholder of record, a statement based on information in the related Servicer's Certificate furnished pursuant to Section 13.09, setting forth for the related Collection Period the following information (stated in the case of items (i), (ii) and (iii) below, on the basis of a Certificate with a denomination of $1,000) as of the related Record Date or such Distribution Date, as the case may be: (i) the amount of the distribution allocable to principal on the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates; (ii) the amount of the distribution allocable to interest on the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates; (iii) the Certificateholder's pro rata portion of the Servicing Fee and any additional servicing compensation paid to the Servicer and the fee paid to the Letter of Credit Bank, if any; (iv) the Pool Balance, the Class A Pool Factor and the Class B Pool Factor as of the related Record Date; (v) the amount, if any, of proceeds received during the related Collection Period in connection with any physical damage insurance policies covering Financed Vehicles; (vi) the amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund, after giving effect to distributions made on such Distribution Date, such amount as a percentage of the Pool 36 43 Balance and, if the amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund has been reduced to zero, the number and aggregate dollar amount of Defaulted Receivables; (vii) the Servicer Letter of Credit Amount, if any, and such amount as a percentage of the Pool Balance; (viii) the amount if any, of proceeds received during the related Collection Period from Dealer repurchase obligations relating to Defaulted Receivables; (ix) the number and aggregate amount of Paid-Ahead Receivables, the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances made with respect to such Paid-Ahead Receivables and the change in such amounts from the previous Collection Period; (x) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances and the change in such amount from the previous Collection Period; (xi) the Class A Certificate Balance and the Class B Certificate Balance as of such Record Date, after giving effect to payments allocated to principal reported under (i) above; (xii) the amount of Class A Principal and Interest Carryover Shortfalls and Class B Principal and Interest Carryover Shortfalls, if any, on such Distribution Date and the change in such Class A and Class B Principal and Interest Carryover Shortfalls from the immediately preceding Distribution Date; (xiii) the amount of Realized Losses, if any, on such Distribution Date and the change in such amount from the immediately preceding Distribution Date; and (xiv) the amount otherwise distributable to the Class B Certificateholders that is being distributed to the Class A Certificateholders on such Distribution Date.

Servicer Letter of Credit. (a) If the Servicer has obtained a Servicer Letter of Credit, on any Distribution Date which immediately follows a Collection Period during which the Servicer is permitted to remit collections on a monthly rather than a daily basis pursuant to Section 14.02 and the Servicer shall have failed to make in full the remittances to the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 14.02 required for distribution to Certificateholders on such Distribution Date by 12:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding such Distribution Date, the Trustee shall immediately deliver a demand for payment under the Servicer Letter of Credit to the Letter of Credit Bank requesting payment in the amount of the shortfall between the amount of funds that are required to be remitted by the Servicer to the Certificate Account as set forth in the related Servicer's Certificate and the amount of funds actually so remitted. Upon receipt of a completed demand for payment by the Trustee under the Servicer Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Bank shall pay or cause to be paid, at the time and in the manner provided in the Servicer Letter of Credit, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount demanded by the Trustee and (ii) the amount available under the Servicer Letter of Credit (the "Servicer Letter of Credit Amount") to the Trustee for deposit to the Certificate Account. Except as otherwise provided in the Servicer Letter of Credit, the Servicer Letter of Credit Amount shall equal the lesser of (x) the product of the Initial Servicer Letter of Credit Amount and the Reset Percentage, or (y) the Pool Balance as of the related Record Date. For the purpose of Section 14.07 or 19.01(i), amounts deposited by the Trustee pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to constitute Servicer remittances with respect to which the demand on the Servicer Letter of Credit was made. (b) Any Servicer Letter of Credit may be terminated by the Trustee at any time when the Servicer's short term debt obligations are rated at least equal to the Required Servicer Rating by each Rating Agency; provided, however, that prior to any such termination of the Servicer Letter of Credit, the Servicer shall furnish to the Trustee, from each Rating Agency for which the Servicer's then-current short-term credit rating is not at least as specified above, a letter to the effect that the rating then assigned to the Rated Certificates will not be qualified, reduced or withdrawn and, if applicable, an Officer's Certificate of the Servicer to the effect that the Servicer's then-current short-term credit rating is at least as specified above from each other Rating Agency, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the short term debt obligations of the Servicer are subsequently downgraded below the Required Servicer Rating by any Rating Agency, the Servicer shall be required to obtain an insurance policy, letter of credit or surety bond acceptable to each Rating Agency (as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that the rating then assigned to the Rated Certificates will not be qualified, reduced or withdrawn) which insurance policy or surety bond, if it shall not replace the Servicer Letter of Credit, shall be drawn upon prior to any draws made upon the Servicer Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section, or the Servicer shall remit collections to the Certificate Account on a daily basis pursuant to Section 14.02. In addition, the Servicer may cancel the Servicer Letter of Credit for so long 38 45 as the Servicer is required to remit collections to the Certificate Account on a daily basis pursuant to Section 14.02. The Servicer shall provide notice of such cancellation of the Servicer Letter of Credit pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence to each Rating Agency. The Servicer shall also provide notice of the renewal, if any, of the Servicer Letter of Credit to each Rating Agency and the Trustee. (c) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section, in the event that on any day during a Collection Period during which the Servicer is permitted to remit collections on a monthly rather than a daily basis as a result of having obtained a Servicer Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 14.02 and the aggregate amount of collections described in the first sentence of Section 14.02 exceeds the product of the Servicer Letter of Credit Percentage and the Servicer Letter of Credit Amount, then the Servicer shall cause the amount of such excess to be deposited into the Certificate Account on the next succeeding Business Day. 39 46 ARTICLE SIXTEEN THE CERTIFICATES Section 16.01. The Certificates. Unless otherwise specified in the Agreement, the Certificates shall be issued in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof in registered form; provided, however, that one Class A Certificate and one Class B Certificate may be issued in a denomination that includes any remaining portion of the Original Class A Certificate Balance or the Original Class B Certificate Balance, as the case may be (each, a "Residual Certificate"). The Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of an Authorized Officer under the Trustee's seal imprinted thereon and attested on behalf of the Trust by the manual or facsimile signature of the Trustee. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trust, shall be valid and binding obligations of the Trust, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificates. Section 16.02. Execution, Authentication and Delivery of Certificates. The Trustee shall deliver to, or upon the order of, the Seller, in exchange for the Receivables and the other assets of the Trust, simultaneously with the sale, assignment and transfer to the Trustee of the Receivables, the constructive delivery to the Trustee of the Receivable Files relating thereto and the delivery to the Trustee of the other components of the Trust, Certificates duly executed by the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, and authenticated by the Trustee in authorized denominations equaling in the aggregate the sum of the Original Class A Certificate Balance and the Original Class B Certificate Balance, and evidencing the entire ownership of the Trust. No Certificate shall entitle its holder to any benefit under the Agreement, or shall be valid for any purpose, unless there shall appear on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form appearing as an Exhibit to the Agreement executed by the Trustee by manual signature; such authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence that such Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication. Section 16.03. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates. (a) The Certificate Registrar shall maintain a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed Certificate Registrar. In the event that, subsequent to the Closing Date, the Trustee notifies the Servicer that it is unable to act as Certificate Registrar, the Servicer shall appoint another bank or trust company, having an office or agency located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, agreeing to act in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement applicable to it, and otherwise acceptable to the Trustee, to act as successor Certificate Registrar under the Agreement. 40 47 (b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 16.07, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class, in authorized denominations of a like aggregate amount dated the date of authentication by the Trustee. At the option of a Holder, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of authorized denominations and of a like aggregate amount upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at such office or agency. (c) Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer and exchange shall be cancelled and subsequently disposed of by the Trustee. (d) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates. Section 16.04. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (i) any mutilated Certificate shall be surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or if the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee shall receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (ii) there shall be delivered to the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Certificate shall have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time. Section 16.05. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate shall be registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 14.07 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Registrar shall be bound by any notice to the contrary. Section 16.06. Access to List of Certificateholder Names and Addresses. The Certificate Registrar shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Servicer, within 15 days after receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a request therefor from the Servicer in writing, a list, in such form as the Servicer may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date. If three or more Certificateholders, or 41 48 one or more Holders of Certificates of any Class aggregating not less than 25% of the Voting Interests evidenced by such Class, apply in writing to the Trustee, and such application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under the Agreement or under the Certificates and such application shall be accompanied by a copy of the communication that such applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall, within five Business Days after the receipt for such application, afford such applicants access during normal business hours to the current list of Certificateholders. Each Holder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, shall be deemed to have agreed to hold neither the Servicer nor the Trustee accountable by reason of the disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source from which such information was derived. Section 16.07. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Certificate Registrar shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or offices or agency or agencies where Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Certificate Registrar in respect of the Certificates and the Agreement may be served. Unless otherwise provided in the Agreement, the Trustee shall designate its Corporate Trust Office as its office for such purposes. The Certificate Registrar shall give prompt written notice to the Servicer and to Certificateholders of any change in the location of the Certificate Register or any such office or agency. Section 16.08. Temporary Certificates. In the event that the Agreement provides that either Class of Certificates are not to be issued in book-entry form pursuant to Section 16.09, pending the preparation of definitive, fully registered Certificates of such Class pursuant to Section 16.11 (the "Definitive Certificates"), the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, may execute, authenticate and deliver temporary Certificates of such Class that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the Definitive Certificates in lieu of which they are issued. If temporary Certificates are issued, the Seller will cause Definitive Certificates to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Definitive Certificates, the temporary Certificates shall be exchangeable for Definitive Certificates upon surrender of the temporary Certificates at the office or agency to be maintained as provided in Section 16.07, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Certificates, the Trustee shall execute and authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of Definitive Certificates in authorized denominations. Until so exchanged the temporary Certificates shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under the Agreement as Definitive Certificates. Section 16.09. Book-Entry Certificates. Unless otherwise specified in the Agreement, the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates, upon original issuance (except for the Residual Certificates) each will be issued in the form of one or more typewritten certificates representing the Book-Entry Certificates, to be delivered to DTC, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Seller. The certificates delivered to DTC evidencing such Certificates shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of CEDE & CO., the nominee of DTC, and no Certificate Owner will receive a Definitive Certificate representing such Certificate Owner's interest in the Certificates, except as provided in Section 16.11. Unless otherwise specified in the Agreement, subject to 42 49 Section 16.11, unless and until Definitive Certificates have been issued to Certificate Owners pursuant to Section 16.11: (i) the provisions of this Section shall be in full force and effect; (ii) the Seller, the Servicer, the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee may deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes (including the making of distributions on the Certificates) as the authorized representative of the Certificate Owners; (iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section conflict with any other provisions of the Agreement, the provisions of this Section shall control; (iv) the rights of Certificate Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants and, pursuant to the related depository agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 16.11, the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal and interest on the Certificates to such Clearing Agency Participants; and (v) whenever the Agreement requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Holders of Certificates evidencing a specified percentage of the Voting Interests thereof, the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from Certificate Owners and/or Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in Certificates and has delivered such instructions to the Trustee. Section 16.10. Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever notice or other communication to the Certificateholders is required under the Agreement, other than to the Holder of the Residual Certificates, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to Certificate Owners pursuant to Section 16.11, the Trustee and the Servicer shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the Certificates to the Clearing Agency. Section 16.11. Definitive Certificates. If (i)(A) the Seller advises the Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as described in the Letter of Representations and (B) the Trustee or the Seller is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Seller at its option, advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Certificate Owners representing beneficial interests in Class A Certificates or Class B Certificates aggregating not less than 51% of the Voting Interests of the related Class, advise the Trustee and the Clearing Agency through the Clearing Agency Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency with respect to such Class is no longer in the best interests of the 43 50 related Certificate Owners, then the Trustee shall notify all such Certificate Owners, through the Clearing Agency, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to such Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the related Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions from the Clearing Agency for registration, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive Certificates and deliver such Definitive Certificates in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. Neither the Seller, the Certificate Registrar nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates, the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder. The Trustee shall not be liable if the Trustee or the Seller is unable to locate a qualified successor Clearing Agency. 44 51 ARTICLE SEVENTEEN THE SELLER Section 17.01. Representations of Seller.

(b) Except as provided in the Agreement, the Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that shall not be incidental to its duties to service the Receivables in accordance with the Agreement, and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Servicer may undertake any reasonable action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of the 51 58 Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties to the Agreement and the interests of the Certificateholders under the Agreement. (c) The Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on the advice of counsel or on any document of any kind, prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that shall not be incidental to its obligations under the Agreement and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability. Section 18.05. Servicer Not to Resign. The Servicer shall not resign from its obligations and duties under the Agreement except upon determination that the performance of its duties shall no longer be permissible under applicable law. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until the Trustee or a Successor Servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer in accordance with Section 19.02. 52 59 ARTICLE NINETEEN EVENTS OF DEFAULT Section 19.01. Events of Default. If any one of the following events ("Events of Default") shall occur and be continuing: (i) failure by the Servicer to deliver to the Trustee the Servicer's Certificate for the related Collection Period, or any failure by the Servicer (or, so long as the Servicer is Fleetwood Credit, the Seller) to deliver to the Trustee, for distribution to Certificateholders, any proceeds or payment required to be so delivered under the terms of the Certificates or the Agreement, in each case, that continues unremedied for a period of three Business Days after discovery by an officer of the Servicer (or, so long as the Servicer is Fleetwood Credit, the Seller) or written notice of such failure is given (1) to the Servicer or the Seller, as the case may be, by the Trustee or (2) to the Trustee and the Servicer or the Seller, as the case may be, by the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Interests of the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates, voting together as a single class; (ii) failure by the Servicer (or so long as the Servicer is Fleetwood Credit, the Seller) to duly observe or perform in any material respect any other covenants or agreements of the Servicer (or so long as the Servicer is Fleetwood Credit, the Seller) set forth in the Certificates or in the Agreement, which failure shall (a) materially and adversely affect the rights of the Certificateholders and (b) continue unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given (1) to the Servicer or the Seller, as the case may be, by the Trustee or (2) to the Trustee and the Servicer or the Seller, as the case may be, by the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Interests of the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates, voting together as a single class; (iii) the entry of a decree or order by a court, agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a trustee in bankruptcy, conservator, receiver or liquidator for the Servicer (or, so long as the Servicer is Fleetwood Credit, the Seller) in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding up or liquidation of their respective affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; (iv) the consent by the Servicer (or, so long as the Servicer is Fleetwood Credit, the Seller) to the appointment of a trustee in bankruptcy, conservator or receiver or liquidator in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Servicer (or, so long as the Servicer is Fleetwood Credit, the Seller) of or relating to substantially all of its property; or admission by the Servicer (or, so long as the Servicer is Fleetwood Credit, the Seller) in writing of its inability to pay its debts 53 60 generally as they become due, filing of a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, assignment for the benefit of its creditors or voluntary suspension of payment of its obligations; then, and in each and every case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, either the Trustee or the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 51% of the Voting Interests of the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates, voting together as a single class, by notice given in writing to the Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by Class A and Class B Certificateholders), may terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under the Agreement. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under the Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates, the Receivables or otherwise, shall, without further action, pass to and be vested in the Trustee or such Successor Servicer as may be appointed under Section 19.02; and, without limitation, the Trustee shall be hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the predecessor Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the Receivables and related documents, or otherwise. The predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the Successor Servicer and the Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the predecessor Servicer under the Agreement, including the transfer to the Successor Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the predecessor Servicer for deposit, shall have been deposited by the predecessor Servicer in the Certificate Account or shall thereafter be received with respect to a Receivable. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with transferring the Receivable Files to the Successor Servicer and amending the Agreement to reflect such succession as Servicer pursuant to this Section shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. Section 19.02. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor Servicer. Upon the Servicer's receipt of notice of termination pursuant to Section 19.01 or resignation pursuant to Section 18.05, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under the Agreement (a "Successor Servicer"), and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions of the Agreement. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation (whether payable out of the Certificate Account or otherwise) as the Servicer would have been entitled to under the Agreement if no such notice of termination or resignation had been given. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it shall be legally unable so to act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established institution, having a net worth of not less than $100,000,000 and whose regular business shall include the servicing of recreational vehicle or motor vehicle receivables, as Successor Servicer; provided that the appointment of any such Successor Servicer (whether the Trustee or another entity) will not result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the rating then assigned to the Rated Certificates by each Rating Agency. In connection with such appointment, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such Successor Servicer out of payments on the 54 61 Receivables as it and such Successor Servicer shall agree; provided, however, that such compensation shall not be in excess of that permitted the Servicer under the Agreement. The Trustee and such Successor Servicer shall take such action, consistent with the Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. The Trustee shall not be relieved of its duties as Successor Servicer under this Section until the newly appointed Servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer under the Agreement. Section 19.03. Reimbursement for Advances. If a Successor Servicer replaces the Servicer, the predecessor Servicer shall be entitled to receive reimbursement for Advances previously made by such Servicer, in the manner specified, and to the extent provided, in Section 14.04. Section 19.04. Notification of Events of Default. Upon (i) the occurrence of an Event of Default and the expiration of any cure period applicable thereto or (ii) any termination of, or appointment of a successor to, the Servicer pursuant to this Article, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register, to the Letter of Credit Bank, if any, and to each Rating Agency. Section 19.05. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of Class A Certificates and Class B Certificates evidencing not less than 51% of the Voting Interests thereof, voting together as a single class, may, on behalf of all Holders of Certificates, waive any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations under the Agreement and its consequences, except a default in making any required deposits to or payments from the Certificate Account in accordance with the Agreement or in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that under Section 22.01 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Certificate. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of the Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived. 55 62 ARTICLE TWENTY THE TRUSTEE Section 20.01. Duties of Trustee. The Trustee, both prior to and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, shall undertake to perform such duties as are specifically set forth in the Agreement. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and shall not have been cured or waived, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by the Agreement, and shall use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs; provided, however, that if the Trustee shall become a Successor Servicer pursuant to Section 19.02, the Trustee in performing such duties shall use the degree of skill and attention customarily exercised by a servicer with respect to recreational vehicle or motor vehicle receivables that it services for itself or others. The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee that shall be specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of the Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they conform to the requirements of the Agreement. No provision of the Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, its own bad faith or its own willful misfeasance; provided, however, that: (i) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default that may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of the Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as shall be specifically set forth in the Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into the Agreement against the Trustee, the permissive right of the Trustee to do things enumerated in the Agreement shall not be construed as a duty and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee or manifest error, the Trustee may conclusively rely on the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of the Agreement; (ii) the Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by an Authorized Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee shall have been negligent in performing its duties in accordance with the terms of the Agreement; and (iii) the Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Interests of the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates, voting together as a single class, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy 56 63 available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under the Agreement. The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties under the Agreement, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability shall not be reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in the Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Servicer under the Agreement except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Servicer in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Except for actions expressly authorized by the Agreement, the Trustee shall take no action reasonably likely to impair the security interests created or existing under any Receivable or to impair the value of any Receivable. All information obtained by the Trustee regarding the Obligors and the Receivables, whether upon the exercise of its rights under the Agreement or otherwise, shall be maintained by the Trustee in confidence and shall not be disclosed to any other Person, unless such disclosure is required by any applicable law or regulation. Section 20.02. Trustee's Certificate. On or as soon as practicable after each Record Date as of which Receivables shall be assigned to the Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, pursuant to Section 20.03, the Trustee shall execute a Trustee's Certificate, based on the information contained in the Servicer's Certificate for the related Collection Period, amounts deposited to the Certificate Account and notices received pursuant to the Agreement, identifying the Receivables repurchased by the Seller pursuant to Section 12.02 or 21.02 or purchased by the Servicer pursuant to Section 13.07 or 21.02 during such Collection Period, and shall deliver such Trustee's Certificate, accompanied by a copy of the Servicer's Certificate for such Collection Period to the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be. The Trustee's Certificate submitted with respect to such Distribution Date shall operate, as of such Distribution Date, as an assignment, without recourse, representation or warranty, to the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, of all the Trustee's right, title and interest in and to such Repurchased Receivable and to the other property conveyed to the Trust pursuant to Section 12.01 with respect to such Repurchased Receivable, and all security and documents relating thereto, such assignment being an assignment outright and not for security. Section 20.03. Trustee's Assignment of Repurchased and Removed Receivables. With respect to Receivables repurchased by the Seller pursuant to Section 12.02 or 21.02 or purchased by the Servicer pursuant to Section 13.07 or 21.02, the Trustee shall by a Trustee's Certificate assign, without recourse, representation or warranty, to the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, all the Trustee's right, title and interest in and to such Receivable and the other property conveyed to the Trust pursuant to Section 2.01 with respect to such Receivable, and all security and documents relating thereto, such assignment 57 64 being an assignment outright and not for security. If, in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding, it shall be held that the Servicer may not enforce a Receivable on the ground that it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Receivable, the Trustee shall, at the Servicer's expense, take such steps as the Trustee deems necessary to enforce the Receivable, including bringing suit in the name of the Trustee or the names of the Certificateholders. Section 20.04. Certain Matters Affecting Trustee. (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 20.01: (i) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; (ii) the Trustee may consult with counsel and any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it under the Agreement in good faith and in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel; (iii) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by the Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation under the Agreement or in relation to the Agreement, at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders pursuant to the provisions of the Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby; however, nothing contained in the Agreement shall relieve the Trustee of its obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (that shall not have been cured or waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by the Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs; (iv) the Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by the Agreement; (v) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default that may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by Holders of Class A Certificates and Class B Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Interests thereof, voting together as a single class; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or 58 65 liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation SHALL be, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of the Agreement, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding; the reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Servicer upon demand; and nothing in this clause (v) shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors; and (vi) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties under the Agreement either directly or by or through agents or attorneys or a custodian. (b) No Certificateholder will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Agreement, unless such Holder shall have given to the Trustee written notice of default and (i) the Event of Default arises from the Servicer's failure to remit collections or payments when due or (ii) the Holders of Class A Certificates and Class B Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Interests thereof, voting together as a single class, have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such proceeding in its own name as Trustee thereunder, and have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee for 30 days has neglected or refused to institute any such proceedings. Section 20.05. Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Receivables. The Trustee shall make no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of the Agreement or of the Certificates (other than the execution by the Trustee on behalf of the Trust of, and the certificate of authentication on, the Certificates) or of any Receivable or related document. The Trustee shall have no obligation to perform any of the duties of the Seller or Servicer unless explicitly set forth in the Agreement. The Trustee shall at no time have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of any security interest in any Financed Vehicle or any Receivable, or the perfection and priority of such a security interest or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority; the efficacy of the Trust or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to Certificateholders under the Agreement; the existence, condition, location and ownership of any Financed Vehicle; the existence and enforceability of any physical damage or credit life or credit disability insurance; the existence and contents of any Receivable or any computer or other record thereof; the validity of the assignment of any Receivable to the Trust or of any intervening assignment; the completeness of any Receivable; the performance or enforcement of any Receivable; the compliance by the Seller or the Servicer with any warranty or representation made under the Agreement or in any related document and the accuracy of any such warranty or representation prior to the Trustee's receipt of notice or other discovery of any noncompliance therewith or any breach thereof; any investment of monies by the Servicer or any loss resulting therefrom (it being understood that the Trustee shall remain responsible for any Trust property that it may hold); the acts or omissions of the Seller, the Servicer or any Obligor; any action of the Servicer taken in the name of the Trustee; or any action by the Trustee taken at the instruction of the Servicer; provided, however, that the 59 66 foregoing shall not relieve the Trustee of its obligation to perform its duties under the Agreement. Except with respect to a claim based on the failure of the Trustee to perform its duties under the Agreement or based on the Trustee's willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence no recourse shall be had for any claim based on any provision of the Agreement, the Certificates or any Receivable or assignment thereof against the Trustee in its individual capacity. The Trustee shall not have any personal obligation, liability or duty whatsoever to any Certificateholder or any other Person with respect to any such claim, and any such claim shall be asserted solely against the Trust or any indemnitor who shall furnish indemnity as provided in the Agreement. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Seller of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds thereof, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Servicer in respect of the Receivables. Section 20.06. Trustee May Own Certificates. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it were not Trustee. Section 20.07. Trustee's Fees and Expenses. The Servicer shall covenant and agree to pay to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) for all services rendered by it in connection with the execution of the trusts created by the Agreement and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties under the Agreement of the Trustee, and the Servicer shall pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all individuals not regularly in its employ) incurred or made by the Trustee in defense of any action brought against it in connection with the Agreement except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence, willful misfeasance or bad faith or that is the responsibility of Certificateholders under the Agreement. Additionally, the Servicer, pursuant to Section 18.02, shall indemnify the Trustee with respect to certain matters, and Certificateholders, pursuant to Section 20.04 shall, upon the circumstances therein set forth, indemnify the Trustee under certain circumstances. Section 20.08. Indemnity of Trustee and Successor Servicer. Upon the appointment of a Successor Servicer pursuant to Section 19.02, such Successor Servicer and the Trustee and their respective agents and employees shall be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless against any loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses) arising out of or incurred in connection with the acceptance of performance of the trusts and duties contained in the Agreement to the extent that (i) the Successor Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall not be indemnified for such loss, liability or expense by the Servicer pursuant to Section 18.02; (ii) such loss, liability or expense shall not have been incurred by reason of the Successor Servicer's or the Trustee's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence; and (iii) such loss, liability or expense shall not have been incurred by reason of the Successor Servicer's or the Trustee's breach of its respective representations and warranties pursuant to Sections 18.01 and 20.14, respectively. 60 67 The Successor Servicer and/or the Trustee shall be entitled to the indemnification provided by this Section only to the extent all amounts due the Class A Certificateholders and the Class B Certificateholders with respect to any Distribution Date pursuant to Section 14.07 have been paid in full and all amounts required to be deposited in the Reserve Fund with respect to any Distribution Date pursuant to Section 14.07(b)(i) have been so deposited. Section 20.09. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee. The Trustee under the Agreement shall at all times be a corporation having its corporate trust office in the same State as the location of the Corporate Trust Office as specified in the Agreement, organized and doing business under the laws of such State or the United States, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, have a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and, if required by any Rating Agency, having the Required Long Term Debt Rating. If the Trustee shall publish reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 20.10. Section 20.10. Resignation or Removal of Trustee. The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Servicer. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Servicer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor Trustee. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 20.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Servicer, or if at any time the Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Servicer may remove the Trustee. If it shall remove the Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Servicer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Trustee and payment of all fees owed to the outgoing Trustee. Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee pursuant to Section 20.11. 61 68 Section 20.11. Successor Trustee. Any successor Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 20.10 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Servicer and to its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under the Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor under the Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee. The predecessor Trustee shall deliver to the successor Trustee all documents and statements and monies held by it under the Agreement; and the Servicer and the predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. No successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be eligible pursuant to Section 20.09. Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Servicer shall mail notice of the successor of such Trustee under the Agreement to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register and shall give notice by mail to the Rating Agencies. If the Servicer shall fail to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Servicer. Section 20.12. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee. Any corporation (i) into which the Trustee may be merged or consolidated, (ii) which may result from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party or (iii) which may succeed to the business of the Trustee, which corporation executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Trustee under the Agreement, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be eligible pursuant to Section 20.09, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Notice of any such merger shall be given by the Trustee to the Rating Agencies. Section 20.13. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust or any Financed Vehicle may at the time be located, the Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in the case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee under the 62 69 Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor Trustee pursuant to Section 20.09 and no notice of a successor Trustee pursuant to Section 20.11 and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 20.11. Each separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions: (i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee under the Agreement or as successor to the Servicer under the Agreement), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee; (ii) no trustee under the Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under the Agreement; and (iii) the Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee. Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to the Agreement and the conditions of this Article. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of the Agreement, specifically including every provision of the Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Servicer. Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of the Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, the appointment of any separate trustee or co-trustee shall not relieve the Trustee of its obligations and duties under the Agreement. 63 70 Section 20.14. Representations and Warranties of Trustee. The Trustee shall make the following representations and warranties on which the Seller and Certificateholders may rely: (i) Organization and Good Standing. The Trustee is a banking corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its place of incorporation. (ii) Power and Authority. The Trustee has full power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its duties and obligations under the Agreement, and shall have taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of the Agreement. (iii) No Violation.

Termination of the Trust. The Trust and the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Seller, the Servicer, any Letter of Credit Bank and the Trustee shall terminate upon the first to occur of (i) the purchase on any Distribution Date by the Seller or the Servicer, or any successor to the Servicer, at its option, pursuant to Section 21.02, of the corpus of the Trust, (ii) the payment to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement, (iii) the maturity or liquidation of the last Receivable and the disposition of all property held as part of the Trust or (iv) the sale by the Trustee of all of the Receivables remaining in the Trust pursuant to Section 21.03; provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created by the Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of George Herbert Walker Bush of the State of Texas living on the date of the Agreement. The Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee of any prospective termination pursuant to this Section. Notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution Date upon which Certificateholders are expected to be able to surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders and each Rating Agency mailed not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the specified Distribution Date stating (i) the Distribution Date upon which final payment of the Certificates shall be made upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) if applicable, that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein specified. The Trustee shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar (if other than the Trustee) and the Letter of Credit Bank, if any, at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders. Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall cause to be distributed to Certificateholders amounts distributable on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 14.07. In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above-mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets that shall remain subject to the Agreement. Any funds remaining in the Trust after exhaustion of such remedies shall be distributed by the Trustee to the United Way. 65 72 As soon as practicable after the Distribution Date specified for the final distribution or upon such other date upon which all amounts to be paid to the Certificateholders pursuant to the Agreement have been paid, the Trustee shall surrender the Servicer Letter of Credit to the Letter of Credit Bank for cancellation. Section 21.02. Optional Purchase of All Receivables. On each Distribution Date following a Record Date as of which the Pool Balance is 10% or less of the Original Pool Balance, the Seller or the Servicer, or any successor to the Servicer, shall have the option to purchase the corpus of the Trust; provided that the option to purchase provided in this Section shall not be exercised if the final distribution to Certificateholders would be less than the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Certificates plus the sum of (i) the Class A Interest Distributable Amount for the related Distribution Date, (ii) any outstanding Class A Interest Carryover Shortfall, (iii) the Class B Interest Distributable Amount for such Distribution Date and (iv) any outstanding Class B Interest Carryover Shortfall. To exercise such option, the Seller or the Servicer, or any successor to the Servicer, as the case may be, shall notify the Trustee in writing, no later than the tenth day of the month in which the Record Date as of which such purchase is to be effected and, if there are any Book-Entry Certificates, the Clearing Agency in accordance with the Letter of Representations, and shall deposit pursuant to Section 14.06 in the Certificate Account an amount equal to the aggregate Repurchase Amount for the Receivables (including Defaulted Receivables), plus the appraised value of any other property held by the Trust (less liquidation expenses), such value to be determined by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Servicer and the Trustee, and shall succeed to all interests in and to the Trust; provided, however, the Seller or the Servicer, or any successor to the Servicer, as the case may be, may not effect any such purchase if the long-term unsecured debt obligations of the related entity are rated less than Baa3, unless the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel that such purchase will not constitute a fraudulent conveyance. The payment shall be made in the manner specified in Section 14.06(a)(i), and shall be distributed pursuant to Section 14.07. In the event that both the Seller and the Servicer, or any successor to the Servicer, elect to purchase the Receivables pursuant to this Section, the party first notifying the Trustee (based on the Trustee's receipt of such notice) shall be permitted to purchase the Receivables. Section 21.03. Sale of All Receivables. If neither the Seller nor the Servicer exercises its optional termination right within 90 days after it first becomes eligible to do so, in accordance with the procedures and schedule set forth as an Exhibit to the Agreement (the "Auction Procedures"), the Trustee shall conduct an auction (the "Auction") of the Receivables remaining in the Trust (such Receivables hereinafter referred to as the "Auction Property") in order to effect a termination of the Trust pursuant to clause (iv) of the first paragraph of Section 21.01 on the second Distribution Date succeeding the Record Date on which the Pool Balance is 10% or less of the Original Pool Balance. Fleetwood Credit may, but shall not be required to, bid at the Auction. The Trustee shall sell and transfer the Auction Property to the highest bidder therefor at the Auction provided that: (i) the Auction has been conducted in accordance with the Auction Procedures; 66 73 (ii) the Trustee has received good faith bids for the Auction Property from at least two bidders; (iii) one or more financial advisors, as advisor to the Trustee (each, an "Advisor"), shall have advised the Trustee in writing that at least two of such bidders (including the winning bidder) are participants in the market for motor vehicle retail installment sale contracts willing and able to purchase the Auction Property; (iv) the highest bid in respect of the Auction Property is not less than the aggregate fair market value of the Auction Property (as set forth in a written opinion of the Advisor to the Trustee); (v) any bid submitted by Fleetwood Credit or any affiliate of Fleetwood Credit shall reasonably represent the fair market value of the Auction Property, as independently verified and represented in writing by a qualified independent third party evaluator (which may include an investment banking firm), selected by the Trustee; and (vi) the highest bid would result in proceeds from the sale of the Auction Property which will be at least equal to the sum of (a) the greater of (1) the aggregate Repurchase Amounts for the Receivables (including Defaulted Receivables), plus the appraised value of any other property held by the Trust (less liquidation expenses) or (2) an amount that when added to amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account that would constitute Available Funds for such second succeeding Distribution Date would result in proceeds sufficient to distribute the sum of (A) the Class A Distributable Amount plus any unpaid Class A Interest Carryover Shortfall and any unpaid Class A Principal Carryover Shortfall with respect to one or more prior Distribution Dates, and (B) the Class B Distributable Amount plus any unpaid Class B Interest Carryover Shortfall and any unpaid Class B Principal Carryover Shortfall, and (b) the sum of (1) an amount sufficient to reimburse the Servicer for any unreimbursed Advances and (2) the Servicing Fee payable on such final Distribution Date, including any unpaid Servicing Fees with respect to one or more prior Collection Periods. Provided that all of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (vi) above have been met, the Trustee shall sell and transfer the Auction Property, without recourse, to such highest bidder in accordance with and upon completion of the Auction Procedures. The Trustee shall deposit the purchase price for the Auction Property in the Certificate Account at least one Business Day prior to such second succeeding Distribution Date. In addition, the Auction must stipulate that the Servicer be retained to service the Receivables on terms substantially similar to those in the Agreement. In the event that any of such conditions are not met or such highest bidder fails or refuses to comply with any of the Auction Procedures, the Trustee shall decline to consummate such sale and transfer. In the event such sale and transfer is not consummated in accordance with the foregoing, however, the Trustee may from time to time in the future, but shall not under any further obligation to, solicit bids for sale of the assets of the Trust upon the same terms and conditions as set forth above. 67 74 ARTICLE TWENTY TWO MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS Section 22.01. Amendment. The Agreement may be amended by the Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Letter of Credit Bank, if any, (a) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision in the Agreement which may be inconsistent with any other provision of the Agreement, or to add, change or eliminate any other provision with respect to matters or questions arising under the Agreement that shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of the Agreement, (b) to change the formula for determining the Specified Reserve Fund Balance or the manner in which the Reserve Fund is funded and (c) to amend or modify any provisions in the Agreement relating to the Servicer Letter of Credit, if any, or the acquisition thereof (provided that no such amendment or modification pursuant to this clause (c) shall be made without the consent of the Letter of Credit Bank, if any, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that for purposes of clauses (a) through (c) above, no such amendment shall, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (including any amendment that would adversely affect the Trust's status as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes) and provided, further, that prior to changing the formula for determining the Specified Reserve Fund Balance or the manner in which the Reserve Fund is funded or amending or modifying any provisions relating to the Servicer Letter of Credit or the Letter of Credit Bank, if any, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such revised formula will not cause the rating then assigned to the Rated Certificates to be qualified, reduced or withdrawn. The Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 51% of the Voting Interests of each Class of Certificates, voting together as a single class, and upon not less than two weeks' prior notice to each Rating Agency, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Agreement, or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders or the Letter of Credit Bank, if any; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) except as otherwise provided in the first paragraph of this Section, increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, collections of payments of the Receivables, or distributions that shall be required to be made on any Certificate or to or by the Letter of Credit Bank, if any, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Voting Interests of the Certificates of each Class required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding. The Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment or consent to each Certificateholder and to the Letter of Credit Bank, if any. It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders pursuant to this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such 68 75 consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Trustee may prescribe. Prior to the execution of any amendment to the Agreement, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by the Agreement. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under the Agreement or otherwise. Section 22.02. Protection of Title to Trust. (a) Each of the Seller and the Servicer shall execute and file such financing statements and cause to be executed and filed such continuation statements, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve, maintain and protect the interest of the Certificateholders, the Letter of Credit Bank, if any, and the Trustee in the Receivables and in the proceeds thereof.

(c) The Seller and the Servicer shall give the Trustee at least 60 days' prior written notice of any relocation of their respective principal executive offices if, as a result of such relocation, the applicable provisions of the UCC would require the filing of any amendment of any previously filed financing or continuation statement or of any new financing statement and shall promptly file any such amendment. The Servicer shall at all times maintain each office from which it shall service the Receivables, and its principal executive office, within the United States. (d) The Servicer shall maintain accounts and records as to each Receivable accurately and in sufficient detail to permit (i) the reader thereof to know at any time the status of such Receivable, including payments and recoveries made and payments owing (and the nature of each) and (ii) reconciliation between payments or recoveries on (or with respect to) each Receivable and the amounts from time to time deposited in the Certificate Account in respect of such Receivable. (e) The Servicer shall maintain its computer systems so that, from and after the time of sale under the Agreement of the Receivables to the Trustee, the Servicer's master computer records (including any back-up archives) that refer to a Receivable shall indicate clearly the interest of the particular grantor trust in such Receivable and that such Receivable 69 76 is owned by the Trustee. Indication of the Trustee's ownership of a Receivable shall be deleted from or modified on the Servicer's computer systems when, and only when, the Receivable shall have been paid in full, repurchased or assigned pursuant to the Agreement. (f) If at any time the Seller or the Servicer shall propose to sell, grant a security interest in or otherwise transfer any interest in recreational vehicle receivables to any prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee, the Servicer shall give to such prospective purchaser, creditor or other transferee computer tapes, records or print-outs (including any restored from back-up archives) that, if they shall refer in any manner whatsoever to any Receivable, shall indicate clearly that such Receivable has been sold and is owned by the Trustee. (g) The Servicer shall permit the Trustee and its agents at any time during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice to inspect, audit and make copies of and abstracts from the Servicer's records regarding any Receivable. (h) Upon request, the Servicer shall furnish to the Trustee, within five Business Days, a list of all Receivables (by contract number and name of Obligor) then held as part of the Trust, together with a reconciliation of such list to the Schedule of Receivables and to each of the Servicer's Certificates furnished before such request indicating removal of Receivables from the Trust. (i) The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee promptly after the execution and delivery of the Agreement and of each amendment thereto, an Opinion of Counsel either (A) stating that, in the opinion of such Counsel, all financing statements and continuation statements have been executed and filed that are necessary fully to preserve and protect the interest of the Trustee in the Receivables, and reciting the details of such filings or referring to prior Opinions of Counsel in which such details are given or (B) stating that, in the opinion of such Counsel, no such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interest. (j) The Seller shall, to the extent required by applicable law, cause the Certificates to be registered with the Commission pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act within the time periods specified in such sections. (k) For the purpose of facilitating the execution of the Agreement and for other purposes, the Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Section 22.03. Limitation on Certificateholder Rights. The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate the Agreement or the Trust, nor entitle such Certificateholder's legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or commence any proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties to the Agreement or any of them. 70 77 No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as provided in Sections 19.05 and 22.01) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Trust, or the obligations of the parties to the Agreement, nor shall anything set forth in the Agreement or contained in the terms of the Certificates, be construed so as to constitute the holders from time to time as partners or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any third party by reason of any action taken pursuant to any provision of the Agreement. No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing itself of any provisions of the Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to the Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Interests of the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates, voting together as a single class, shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee under the Agreement and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 30 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; no one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself or themselves of any provisions of the Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of the Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right, under the Agreement except in the manner provided in the Agreement and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

Severability of Provisions. If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of the Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of the Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of the Agreement or of the Certificates or the rights of the Holders thereof.

You agree to use your best efforts to provide us telephonic notice at the time any presentation in respect of payment is made hereunder; provided, however, that failure to provide such telephonic notice shall not affect our obligation to make payment in respect of any such presentation in respect of payment. If requested by you, payment under this Servicer Letter of Credit will be wire transferred to an account specified by the Trustee in the related certificate. As used herein, "Business Day" shall mean any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday, or a day on which the Trustee or banking institutions in New York, New York or [LOS ANGELES], California shall be authorized or obligated by law, executive order or governmental decree to be closed. If a drawing made by you hereunder does not, in any instance, conform to the terms and conditions of this Servicer Letter of Credit, we shall give you prompt notice that the purported drawing was not effected in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Servicer Letter of Credit, stating the reasons therefor and that we are holding any documents presented in connection therewith at your disposal or are returning the same to you, as we may elect.
