where it is an originator or an original lender.

securitisation entity, except as provided in Paragraph five of
this Section.
(2) Subsequent submission of such documents which provide for
changes in relation to the registration of the collateral in

disposal agreement, the assets shall be alienated and transferred
to a securitisation entity together with all existing rights,
claims, and fruits, including the right to insurance indemnity
which the alienor is entitled to receive in relation to assets in
accordance with laws and regulations or the concluded
agreements.

insurance indemnity upon occurrence of an insurance event, claims
of the alienor for the disbursement of insurance indemnity shall
be included in the assets, unless the contracting parties agree
otherwise in the disposal agreement.
(3) The insurance indemnity referred to in Paragraph two of
this Section shall be included in the assets to the extent
provided for by the laws and regulations in the field of

the insurance indemnity, either in full or in part, for the
elimination of the consequences of the insurance event.
(4) A unilateral notification of a securitisation entity to
the insurer that the insured assets have been transferred to the
securitisation entity on the basis of the disposal agreement
shall grant the right to such entity to receive the insurance
indemnity related to this asset.

not form the grounds for the amendment or termination of an
insurance contract.
Section 14. Rights and Obligations
of a Debtor and a Collateral Provider

shall not be required for the alienation of assets.

not affect the rights and obligations of a debtor and a
collateral provider which are provided for in the laws and
regulations in the field of consumer protection.

In the insolvency proceedings of an originator, the
invalidation of transactions provided for in Articles 20 and 24
of Regulation No 2017/2402 shall apply not only to simple,
transparent, and standardised securitisations but to any
securitisation that complies with Article 2(1) of Regulation No
2017/2402.
Section 16. Isolation of Property of
a Servicer
Funds received by a servicer (including an originator if it
performs the functions of a servicer) from a debtor and a
collateral provider as a certain payment flow in relation to the
underlying exposure of the securitisation shall not be part of
the property of the servicer. In the event of legal protection
proceedings, insolvency proceedings, or liquidation of the
servicer or in the event of resolution or reorganisation
measures, such funds shall not be used to settle the claims of
creditors of the servicer, except to the extent that is set in
accordance with the provisions on securitisation transaction
documentation as the remuneration of the servicer for servicing
the debts.
Section 17. Procedures for the
Settlement of Claims of Investors and Other Creditors of a
Securitisation Entity

with the order of seniority of the tranches of the securitisation
positions in the particular securitisation transaction. The
claims of investors in a tranche of a single securitisation
position shall be of the same order.

from derivative contracts, shall be settled in accordance with
the provisions on securitisation transaction documentation,
including the provisions governing the order in which the claims
of investors and other creditors in a particular securitisation
transaction are settled.
Section 18. Bringing an Action
against a Securitisation Entity
Bringing an action against a securitisation company shall be
governed by the provisions on securitisation transaction
documentation, taking into consideration that the claimant shall
not receive more in the event of a successful claim than it would
be entitled to in the order of seniority of tranches and what it
would actually be entitled to receive under the terms of the
securitisation transaction documentation, compared to other
investors and creditors. Actions of investors may only be brought
through a trustee, if such has been appointed.
Section 19. Representation of
Interests of Investors
(1) A securitisation entity shall convene a meeting of
investors if this is foreseen in the provisions on securitisation
transaction documentation in order to decide on the
representation of the interests of investors, insofar as it is
not in contradiction to this Law.
(2) The procedures for convening a meeting of investors, the
quorum of the meeting, the majority of votes necessary for
decision-making, the procedures for voting, including remote
voting, and any other issues related to convening and conducting
of the meeting shall be laid down in the provisions on
securitisation transaction documentation.
(3) A securitisation entity shall cover all expenses related
to the organisation of the meeting of investors and taking and
communication of decisions.
Section 20. Appointment of an
Investor Trustee
(1) The meeting of investors may decide that the joint
interests of investors related to securitisation shall be
represented by a trustee. The meeting of investors shall
determine the rights, obligations of the trustee, the settlement,
the procedures for covering expenses, and also any other
issues.
(2) The authorisation referred to in Paragraph one of this
Section shall not be affected by the declaration of insolvency
proceedings or liquidation of an investor, or the application of
the proceedings for the resolution or restructuring of
liabilities.
(3) The meeting of investors may decide that a trustee shall
represent all investors when performing the activities specified
in the authorisation. An investor may not concurrently exercise
independently his or her rights conferred on the trustee.
(4) In conformity with the powers and restrictions imposed on
a trustee in a decision by the meeting of investors, the trustee
is entitled to initiate proceedings on behalf of all investors
and defend their common interests, including in legal
proceedings, without the obligation to establish the identity of
investors. In exercising such rights, it shall be sufficient if
the trustee indicates that he or she acts as a trustee and
attaches a decision by the meeting of investors certifying the
powers of such person and the limits of the authorisation.
(5) A trustee is entitled to obtain information on insolvency
proceedings or liquidation of a securitisation entity, insofar as
it affects the settlement of the claims of investors brought in
the insolvency proceedings or liquidation of the securitisation
entity.
(6) If a trustee has been authorised to acquire assets in the
name or on behalf of investors, those assets shall be held and
accounted for separately from the personal assets of the trustee
and from any other assets transferred under its management.
Creditors of the trustee may not direct their claims against
assets, including financial resources, which the trustee has
received in the name or on behalf of investors upon fulfilment of
the obligations of the trustee specified thereto.
