Said Application for Revolving Transfer must be accompanied by a Certification of Additional Loans substantially the same as the model certification attached to this Agreement as Annex "K" , which will contain at least: (i) the total outstanding balance of the Additional Loans to be transferred to the Trustee in relation to said Securitization Transaction, (ii) certification (signed by the General Director, Director of Finances or Director of Operations, or another official of equal or greater rank of the Trustor) that said Additional Loans comply with the corresponding Eligibility Criteria, and (iii) should the Securitization Transaction so provide, the results of an appraisal of said Additional Loans carried out by the Appraiser (attaching a copy of the corresponding appraisal). No later than the second Business Day immediately prior to the Revolving Transfer Date, the Trustee must notify the Trustor if, in accordance with the provisions set forth for the Securitization Transaction, and especially in the corresponding Issue Documents, said contribution of Additional Loans is in order, in the understanding that the Trustee shall only be responsible for verifying (A) that the Revolving Period continues in effect, and (B) that it has sufficient funds in the Revolving Account to carry out said acquisition.

By the same token, together with these two copies, the Trustor must deliver to the Trustee a copy of the official papers that document the powers of the representatives of the Trustor who signed the respective Trust Contribution Agreement (unless said copies have previously been delivered to the Trustee).

 

The Trustee shall proceed to sign said Trust Contribution Agreements on the Revolving Transfer Date, and the Trustee and the Trustor shall appear before a notary public for the purpose of having their representatives’ signatures ratified. Upon signing of the respective Trust Contribution Agreement, the Trustee shall acquire title to the corresponding Additional Loans under the terms indicated in the above-mentioned Trust Contribution Agreement.

Said Request for Special Contribution should be accompanied by a Loan Certification substantially in the terms of the model certification attached to this Agreement as Annex "K" , which shall contain at least, (i) the total unpaid balance of the Loans to be transferred to the Trustee in relation to said Securitization Transaction, (ii) certification (signed by the General Director, Director of Finances, Director of Operations or another official of the Trustor of equal or higher rank) that said Loans were extended to natural persons with business activities or to corporate persons, for the acquisition of Transportation Equipment (in the understanding that said Loans do not necessarily have to comply with the corresponding Eligibility Criteria) and (iii) should the Securitization Transaction so provide, the results of the appraisal of said Loans carried out by the Appraiser (attaching a copy of the corresponding appraisal).

 

In this case, the Trustor must deliver to the Trustee no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the specific Date of Special Contribution, 2 (two) copies of the corresponding Trust Contribution Agreement, which should be substantially the same as the model attached hereto as Annex "C" (except for

The parties recognize that the Trustor shall make the contribution to the Special Loans; taking into account the benefits obtained from the respective Securitization Transaction, but shall not receive any additional consideration whatsoever.

 

Similarly, the parties recognize that the Special Loans will not need to comply with the Eligibility Criteria related to the specific Securitization Transaction.

The Trustor pledges to carry out all the acts reasonably requested by the Trustee that are necessary or advisable in relation to the transfer of the rights derived from the Loans, the Insurance Policies (if applicable) and other accessories of the Trust, so that the Trust at all times maintains full title to said rights.

If the contribution procedure for the Loans, Additional Loans and Special Loans is not carried out in compliance with the provisions in paragraph (i) of this Clause, the Trustee may, but shall not be obliged to, continue with the corresponding procedures and steps, always in keeping with sound commercial and stock market uses and practices.

 

Additionally, in the case of the first Securitization Transaction carried out under the present Trust, the Trustee should make every effort, in conformity with sound commercial and stock market uses and practices, to assist the Trustor in carrying out said Securitization Transaction even if all the period and terms provided for in paragraph (i) of this Clause have not been complied with.
