(a)                                   Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, on the applicable Closing Date, Seller hereby agrees to sell, assign, transfer, set over and convey to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to accept, without recourse but subject to the terms of this Agreement, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to: (i) the Contracts described in the Schedule of Contracts on the First Closing Date (including, without limitation, the Security Instruments and security interests created thereby), including all principal and interest payments with respect to and fees imposed pursuant to such Contracts received on or after the Cut-off Date for the First Closing Date; (ii) the Additional Contracts described in the supplement to the Schedule of Contracts on the Second Closing Date (including, without limitation, the Security Instruments and security interests created thereby), including all principal and interest payments with respect to and fees imposed pursuant to such Additional Contracts received on or after the Cut-off Date for the Second Closing Date; (iii) all of the rights under any hazard insurance policies relating to the Manufactured Homes and/or mortgaged properties securing the Contracts for the benefit of the creditor of such Contracts; (iv) any deposits and escrowed amounts for insurance, taxes or other expenses related to the Contracts; (v) all documents contained in the related Contract Files and servicing files; (vi) all servicing and collection rights related to the Contracts; and (vii) all

 

4



 

proceeds derived from any of the foregoing (collectively referred to herein as the “Conveyed Property”).

 

(b)                                  As of the applicable Closing Date, the ownership of the Conveyed Property and the contents of the related Contract Files shall be vested in Buyer free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances.  Seller shall not take any action inconsistent with Buyer’s ownership of the Conveyed Property, and Seller shall promptly indicate to all inquiring parties that the Conveyed Property has been sold, transferred, assigned, set over and conveyed to Buyer, and Seller shall not claim any further ownership interest in the Conveyed Property.

 

(c)                                   Each of the parties hereto will treat the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for all purposes (including tax and financial accounting purposes) as a sale of the Conveyed Property by Seller to Buyer.  Although the parties intend that the conveyance of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Conveyed Property to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a sale thereof and not a financing, if such conveyance is deemed to be a financing, the parties intend that the rights and obligations of the parties to such financing shall be established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the transactions contemplated hereby should be deemed a financing, the parties intend and agree that Seller shall be deemed to have granted to Buyer, and Seller hereby does grant to Buyer, a perfected first priority lien security interest in all of the right, title and interest in, to and under the items of Conveyed Property, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.

 

(d)                                  Seller hereby acknowledges, agrees, represents and warrants that the conveyance of the Conveyed Property for the consideration stated in this Agreement is a transfer for sufficient value and consideration and that the transfer is not an avoidable conveyance under any applicable state or federal fraudulent conveyance laws.

 

2.2                                Purchase of Additional Contracts and Related Conveyed Property .   Seller and Buyer acknowledge that Seller may originate and fund up to ten million dollars ($10,000,000) principal balance of additional Contracts for a period of sixty (60) days following the First Closing Date (the “Additional Contracts”), which Additional Contracts are similar to the Contracts acquired by Buyer as of the First Closing Date (including at least a Weighted Average Coupon (WAC) of ten percent (10%), weighted average FICO scores of six hundred eighty-five (685) and ninety percent (90%) new homes).  Seller agrees to sell such Additional Contracts and related Conveyed Property to Buyer and Buyer agrees to purchase such Additional Contracts and related Conveyed Property from Seller on substantially the same terms and subject to the same conditions set forth in this Agreement for those Contracts sold and purchased as of the First Closing Date (except for the Purchase Price for Additional Contracts, which is set forth in the definition of Purchase Price), and conditioned upon such Additional Contracts satisfying the criteria in the first sentence of this paragraph.  The applicable closing date for such Additional Contracts shall be September 30, 2005, or such other date as may be mutually agreed to by Seller and Buyer (the “Second Closing Date”).  Buyer shall have no obligation to purchase any Additional Contracts that do not satisfy the representations and warranties set forth herein (without regard to any exceptions thereto).

 

2.3                                Filing: Name Change or Relocation .

 

(a)                                   On or prior to the applicable Closing Date, Buyer may, in its discretion, cause to be filed in the appropriate office of the Secretary of State, a UCC financing statement (the “Financing Statement”) describing the Conveyed Property being transferred in that state (including a list of the Contracts) on such Closing Date and naming Seller as “Seller” and Buyer

 

5



 

as “Purchaser.”  The Financing Statement shall bear a statement on the face thereof indicating that the parties intend the Financing Statement to evidence a true sale of the Conveyed Property, but if the transaction is recharacterized as a loan from the described Purchaser to the described Seller, the Financing Statement is to perfect the described Purchaser’s security interest in the Conveyed Property.  Buyer may, in its discretion, cause to be filed any continuation statements for the foregoing described Financing Statement, and Seller shall execute such documents and take such actions as reasonably requested by Buyer to file such continuation statements.

 

(b)                                  Seller hereby represents and warrants that its state of incorporation is Delaware.  Seller shall not change its name, identity or structure or relocate its principal executive office or change its state of incorporation without first giving notice to Buyer.  If any change in Seller’s name, identity or structure or the relocation of its principal executive office would make the Financing Statement seriously misleading under the Uniform Commercial Code, Seller shall assist Buyer in filing such amendments as may be required to preserve and protect Buyer’s interests in the Conveyed Property.

 

ARTICLE 3
PURCHASE PRICE

 

3.1                                Purchase Price for Contracts .   Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, at the applicable Closing, Buyer agrees to pay Seller the Purchase Price in U.S. dollars for the Contracts purchased on the First Closing Date and the Additional Contracts purchased on the Second Closing Date, in each case pursuant to this Agreement, and the respective Purchase Price for each closing shall be delivered on or before 4:00 p.m. Central Standard Time via wire transfer by Buyer to the account designated by Seller in writing.
