Sale of
Receivables
SECTION 2.01. Sale . The

otherwise convey to the Depositor, without recourse (subject to the
obligations of the Transferor set forth herein), and the Depositor
hereby purchases from the Transferor, all right, title and interest

(b) (i) the security interests in

. (a) The purchase price to be paid to the Transferor by the
Depositor for the Transferor Sold Property shall be stated in a
separate written agreement between the parties (the “ Cash
Purchase Price ”) which represents the fair market value

Depositor on the Closing Date.
(b) The Cash Purchase Price shall be
payable in full in cash by the Depositor on the Closing
Date.
SECTION 2.03. Intent of the
Parties . (a) The Transferor and the Depositor intend that the
sale by the Transferor to the Depositor of the right, title and
interest of the Transferor in, to and under the Receivables and the
other Transferor Sold Property pursuant to this Agreement shall
constitute a true sale and not a loan, that such sale is absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, providing the Depositor with the
full risks and benefits of ownership of the Receivables and other
Transferor Sold Property, and that the Transferor retain no
interest in, to or under the Receivables and the other Transferor
Sold Property. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the
intent of the parties, such sale is deemed to be a transfer for
security and not a sale, then (i) the Transferor shall be deemed to
have granted, and in such event does hereby grant, to the Depositor
to secure the Transferor’s obligations hereunder a first
priority security interest in all of its right, title and interest
in, to and under the Transferor Sold Property, and (ii) this
Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable
law with respect to such sale.
(b) No party hereto shall take any
action that is inconsistent with the ownership of the Transferor
Sold Property by the Depositor, it being understood that this
sentence shall not prevent the transfer of the Transferor Sold
Property by the Depositor to the Issuer in accordance with the
Transfer and Servicing Agreement. Each party hereto shall inform
any Person inquiring about the Receivables that the Transferor Sold
Property has been sold by the Transferor to the Depositor and sold
by the Depositor to the Issuer (and such transfers shall be
reflected in the accounting records and computer systems of the
parties hereto). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
for accounting, tax and other purposes each party hereto shall
treat the transfer of the Transferor Sold Property by the
Transferor to the Depositor as a sale by the Transferor to the
Depositor. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
no Person shall have any recourse to E*TRADE Consumer Finance, the
Transferor, the Depositor or the Servicer on account of the
financial inability of any Obligor to make payments in respect of a
Receivable.
ARTICLE III
The Receivables
SECTION 3.01. Representations and
Warranties as to Receivables . The Transferor makes the
following representations and warranties as to the Receivables, on
which representations and warranties each of the Depositor and the
Issuer is deemed to have relied in acquiring the Receivables. Such
representations and warranties speak as of the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date and shall
survive the transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the
Issuer and the Grant thereof to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to
the Indenture.
3
(i) Characteristics of
Receivables . All of the Receivables were acquired by the
Transferor from E*TRADE Consumer Finance. Each Receivable (A) was
fully and properly executed by the parties required to execute such
Receivable, (B) contains customary and enforceable provisions such
as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate
for realization against the collateral security, (C) is fully
amortizing and provides for level monthly payments which may vary
from one another by no more than fifty dollars ($50) and which, if
made when due, shall fully amortize the Amount Financed over the
original term, (D) provides for, in the event that such Receivable
is prepaid in full, payment of an amount that fully pays the
Principal Balance and includes accrued but unpaid interest at least
through the date of prepayment calculated at a rate at least equal
to its Annual Percentage Rate, (E) provides for the payment of
interest at a fixed Annual Percentage Rate, and (F) provides that
payments thereon are to be applied in accordance with the Simple
Interest Method. If a Receivable was originated by a Dealer, such
Receivable, to the knowledge of the Transferor, (I) was originated
by the Dealer for the retail sale of a Financed Asset in the
ordinary course of such Dealer’s business, (II) was purchased
from such Dealer for new value under a Dealer Agreement and (III)
was validly assigned by the Dealer to Thor Credit Corporation or
E*TRADE Consumer Finance and, if to Thor Credit Corporation, to
E*TRADE Consumer Finance and from E*TRADE Consumer Finance to the
Transferor. To the knowledge of the Transferor, such Dealer had all
necessary licenses and permits to originate Receivables in the
state where such Dealer was located. If a Transferor Receivable was
originated by E*TRADE Consumer Finance or an Affiliated Originator,
such Transferor Receivable was originated for value by E*TRADE
Consumer Finance or such an Affiliated Originator, as applicable,
in the ordinary course of its business to finance the purchase of,
or refinance, the related Financed Asset by the related Obligor and
was validly assigned by E*TRADE Consumer Finance or such an
Affiliated Originator, as applicable, to the Transferor. The
Transferor, E*TRADE Consumer Finance and such Affiliated
Originator, as applicable, had all necessary licenses and permits
to originate or purchase, as applicable, each Receivable at the
time of its origination or purchase, as applicable. At the time
each Receivable was purchased by the Transferor, any related
Financed Asset was, to the knowledge of the Transferor, to be used
primarily for personal, family, or household purposes rather than
for business or commercial purposes. The Receivables were selected
by the Transferor from its portfolio of recreational vehicle and
marine receivables. No selection procedures believed to be adverse
to the Depositor, the Issuer or the Noteholders were used in
selecting the Receivables.
(ii) No Fraud or
Misrepresentation . To the knowledge of the Transferor, each
Receivable originated by a Dealer was originated by the Dealer and
sold by the Dealer to E*TRADE Consumer Finance or the applicable
Affiliated Originator without any fraud or misrepresentation on the
part of such Dealer.
(iii) Compliance with Law .
To the knowledge of the Transferor, all requirements of applicable
federal, state and local laws, and regulations thereunder
(including, without limitation, usury laws, the Federal
Truth-in-Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair
Credit Billing Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Debt
Collection Practices Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, the
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, the Federal Reserve Board’s
Regulations “B” and “Z”, the Servicemembers
Civil Relief Act, state motor vehicle retail installment sales acts
and lending acts and state adaptations of the National Consumer Act
and of the Uniform Consumer Credit Code and other consumer credit
laws and equal credit
4
opportunity and disclosure laws) in
respect of all of the Receivables and each and every sale of
Financed Assets relating thereto, have been complied with in all
material respects, and each Receivable and the sale of the Financed
Asset evidenced by each Receivable complied at the time it was
originated or made and now complies in all material respects with
all applicable legal requirements, including the laws and
regulations contemplated by this clause (iii) .
(iv) Origination . Each
Receivable was originated in the United States of
America.
(v) Binding Obligation . Each
Receivable represents the genuine, legal, valid and binding payment
obligation of the Obligor thereon, enforceable by the holder
thereof in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may
be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar
laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally
and by equitable limitations on the availability of specific
remedies, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered
in a proceeding in equity or at law; and all parties to each
Receivable had full legal capacity to execute and deliver such
Receivable and all other documents related thereto and to grant the
security interest purported to be granted thereby.
(vi) No Government Obligor .
No Obligor of a Receivable is the United States of America or any
State or any agency, department, subdivision or instrumentality
thereof.
(vii) Obligor Bankruptcy . At
the Cut-Off Date, no Obligor was noted on the records of the
Transferor as being the subject of a current bankruptcy
proceeding.
(viii) Schedule of
Receivables . The information with respect to Receivables set
forth in the Schedule of Receivables is true and correct in all
material respects as of the close of business on the Cut-Off
Date.
(ix) Marking Records . By the
Closing Date, the Transferor shall have caused the portions of its
electronic ledger relating to the Receivables to be clearly and
unambiguously marked to show that the Receivables have been sold
absolutely from the Transferor and are property of the
Trust.
(x) Computer Tape . The
Computer Tape was complete and accurate as of the Cut-Off Date and
includes a description of the same Receivables that are described
in the Schedule of Receivables.
(xi) Chattel Paper . The
Receivables constitute chattel paper within the meaning of the UCC
as in effect in the states in which the Obligors reside.
(xii) One Original . There is
only one original executed copy of each Receivable.
(xiii) Receivable Files
Complete . There exists a Receivable File pertaining to each
Receivable and, to the knowledge of the Transferor, such Receivable
File contains (a) a fully executed original of the Receivable, with
a fully executed assignment thereof in blank or from the related
Dealer to E*Trade Consumer Finance or the applicable Affiliated
Originator (and then assigned E*Trade Consumer Finance), as the
case may be, if such
5
Receivable was acquired from a
Dealer, (b) a signed representation letter or agreement from the
Obligor named in the Receivable pursuant to which the Obligor has
agreed to obtain physical damage insurance for the Financed Asset,
or copies thereof, (c) the Title Document or Lien Certificate
(which may be held separately from the Receivable) or a copy of the
application therefor or, except with respect to Federally
Documented Boats, a certification from the Servicer that it has
received confirmation from an authorized official of the
appropriate governmental office of the existence of the first lien
of the E*Trade Consumer Finance or the Affiliated Originator, as
applicable, with respect to the Financed Asset relating to a
Receivable and (d) a credit application signed by the Obligor, or a
copy thereof. Each of such documents which is required to be signed
by the Obligor has been signed by the Obligor in the appropriate
spaces. Each of the foregoing documents has been correctly
prepared. The complete file for each Receivable currently is in the
possession of the Servicer.
(xiv) Receivables in Force .
No Receivable has been satisfied, subordinated or rescinded, and
the Financed Asset securing each such Receivable has not been
released from the lien of the related Receivable in whole or in
part. No provisions of any Receivable have been waived, altered or
modified (except that E*TRADE Consumer Finance as servicer may
have, for administrative purposes, modified the due date of a
Receivable to a different date in the month, which modification is
reflected in its servicing records) in any respect since its
origination, except by instruments or documents identified in the
Receivable File. No Receivable has been modified as a result of
application of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, as
amended.
(xv) Lawful Assignment . No
Receivable was originated in, or is subject to the laws of, any
jurisdiction the laws of which (a) would make unlawful, void or
voidable the transfer and assignment of such Receivable under this
Agreement or the pledge of such Receivable under the Indenture or
(b) would impair the validity or enforceability of any Receivable
because of any such transfer, assignment or pledge.
(xvi) Good Title . No
Receivable has been sold, transferred, assigned or pledged by the
Transferor except pursuant to this Agreement; immediately prior to
the sale of the Receivables by the Transferor to the Depositor
pursuant to this Agreement, the Transferor had good and
indefeasible title to the Receivables, free and clear of any Lien.
No Dealer has a participation in, or other right to receive,
payments or proceeds in respect of any Receivable. The Transferor
has not taken any action to convey any right to any Person that
would result in such Person having a right to payments received
under the related Insurance Policies or the related Dealer
Agreements or to payments due under such Receivables. This
Agreement is effective to transfer to the Depositor all of the
right, title and interest of the Transferor in, to and under the
Receivables.
(xvii) Security Interest in
Financed Asset . (A) Each Receivable (together with its related
mortgage, if applicable), except with respect to Receivables
related to Federally Documented Boats, has created a valid, binding
and enforceable first priority security interest in favor of the
Transferor in the related Financed Asset, which is in full force
and effect and which has been perfected. Each Title Document and
Lien Certificate contained in the Receivables Files shows E*Trade
Consumer Finance or the applicable Affiliated Originator or, with
respect to the Federally Documented Boats, the Boat Mortgage
Trustee, as the holder of a first priority security
6
interest in such Financed Asset.
With respect to each Receivable for which the Title Document or
Lien Certificate is not contained in the related Receivable File,
the Servicer has either received written evidence that such Title
Document or Lien Certificate showing E*Trade Consumer Finance or
the applicable Affiliated Originator as first lienholder has been
applied for or, except with respect to Federally Documented Boats,
has certified in writing in the related Receivable File that it has
received confirmation from the appropriate governmental office of
the existence of the first lien of the E*Trade Finance or the
applicable Affiliated Originator with respect to the related
Financed Asset. The security interest of the E*Trade Finance or the
applicable Affiliated Originator in each such Financed Asset (other
than Federally Documented Boats) has been validly assigned (x) in
the case of security interests with respect to which Thor is the
Affiliated Originator, by Thor to E*Trade Consumer Finance pursuant
to the ETCFC Flow Purchase Agreement and (y) in the case of
security interests with respect to which E*Trade Consumer Finance
is the originator or assignee of Thor, by E*Trade Consumer Finance
to the Transferor pursuant to a Bank Purchase Agreements and by the
Transferor to the Depositor pursuant to this Agreement.
E
