     power and authority required to carry on its business as it is now

     constitute a default under (A) any applicable law, rule or regulation, (B)
     its organizational documents or (C) any agreement, contract, order or other
     instrument to which it is a party or its property is subject and (iii) will
     not result in any Adverse Claim on the Transaction SUBI or give cause for
     the acceleration of any indebtedness of the Seller or the Origination
     Trust.

     by, or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required in connection
     with the execution, delivery and performance by the Seller or the
     Origination Trust of any Transaction Document other than UCC filings and
     other than approvals and authorizations that have previously been obtained
     and filings which have previously been made.

          (iv) Binding Effect. Each Transaction Document to which the Seller or
     the Origination Trust is a party constitutes the legal, valid and binding
     obligation of such Person enforceable against such Person in accordance
     with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, or other
     similar laws of general application relating to or

     its sale of the Transaction SUBI to the Buyer, the Seller was the owner of
     the Transaction SUBI, free and clear of any Adverse Claim, and after such
     sale of the Transaction SUBI to the Buyer, the Buyer shall at all times be
     entitled, with respect to the Transaction SUBI, to all of the rights and
     benefits of a holder of a SUBI under the Origination Trust Documents.

          (vi) Applicable Law. Each of the Seller and the Origination Trust is
     in compliance with all Applicable Laws, the failure to comply with which
     would have a material adverse effect.

     or, to the knowledge of the Seller, threatened against the Seller before or
     by any Governmental Authority that (i) question the validity or
     enforceability of this Agreement or adversely affect the ability of the
     Seller to perform its obligations hereunder or (ii) individually or in the
     aggregate would have a material adverse effect. Neither the Seller nor the
     Origination Trust is in default with respect to any orders of any
