purposes of its review. The depositor had ultimate authority and control over, and assumes all responsibility for, the review, the findings and the conclusions of such review. The depositor attributes all findings and conclusions of the review to itself. To the extent applicable, the data in these tables were confirmed to be consistent with the initial asset-level data. No discrepancies in the pool composition and stratification tables were found and the depositor takes full responsibility for the contents thereof.
The depositor’s review of the contracts is supported by Eaglemark Savings Bank’s and HDCC’s compliance procedures used in the day-to-day operation of their businesses. These procedures include regular audits of key business functions, including contract origination, servicing and systems processing, controls to verify compliance with procedures and quality assurance reviews for credit decisions, contract funding and securitization processes. In addition, HDCC has an integrated network of computer applications to make certain that information about the contracts is accurately captured and maintained in its contract files and other systems. These computer systems are subject to change control processes, controls testing and control review programs to determine whether systems controls are operating effectively and accurately. All of these controls and procedures are intended to ensure integrity of data and information and accuracy of securitization disclosures.
As described in this prospectus under “The Sponsor, Seller, Servicer and Administrator”, the majority of credit applications are automatically evaluated and approved or declined based on an automated decisioning process. Remaining applications are assigned to a credit analyst for further evaluation. In addition, some automatically decisioned applications are subsequently reviewed and decisioned by a credit analyst, typically as a result of a request by an applicant and/or a dealer.
26,457 contracts, having an aggregate outstanding principal balance as of the cutoff date of $553,282,254.06 (approximately 83.44% of the initial pool balance), were approved by the automated decisioning process and 4,721 contracts, having an aggregate outstanding principal balance as of the cutoff date of $109,793,099.39 (approximately 16.56% of the initial pool balance), were reviewed by a credit analyst with appropriate authority in accordance with the underwriting guidelines approved by the seller.
The seller does not consider any of the contracts to constitute exceptions to its underwriting guidelines, as described in this prospectus.
After completion of the reviews described above, the depositor has concluded that it has reasonable assurance that the disclosure regarding the contracts in this prospectus is accurate in all material respects.
Representations, Repurchase and Asset Representations Review
Representations Regarding Contracts
As seller, HDCC will make representations to the depositor about each contract. Generally, these representations relate to the origination of the contract, the characteristics of the contract, legal compliance, terms of the contract and status of the contract, as well as the selection criteria described in “The Contracts—Criteria for Selecting the Contracts” above. The representations include that:
•
each contract, at the time it was originated, complied in all material respects with applicable law;
•
each of the contracts is secured by, or the seller has started procedures that will result in, a valid, binding and enforceable first priority (except with respect to permitted liens relating to a financed motorcycle) perfected security interest in the financed motorcycle in favor of HDCC;
•
each contract is on a form contract that includes rights and remedies allowing the holder to enforce the obligation and realize on the financed motorcycle and represents the legal, valid and binding payment obligation of the obligor, enforceable in all material respects by the holder of the contract, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights or by general equitable principles and consumer protection laws; and
•
immediately before the sale of the contracts and other property to the depositor, HDCC had, and immediately following the sale the depositor will have, good title to the contracts and other property, free and clear of liens not permitted by the transaction documents.
