Boatmen's Auto Trust 1995-A (the "Trust") was established pursuant
to a Trust Agreement dated as of September 1, 1995 among The Boatmen's
National Bank of St. Louis, a national banking corporation (the "Servicer"),
BNB Auto, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Servicer, and The Chase Manhattan Bank (USA), a Delaware banking corporation,
as owner trustee. Subsequent to the merger of The Chase Manhattan Bank and
Chemical Bank, The Bank of New York (Delaware) became the owner trustee
effective September 26, 1996 (the "Owner Trustee"). Pursuant to a Sales and
Servicing Agreement dated as of September 1, 1995 with the Servicer (the "Sales
and Servicing Agreement"), on September 27, 1995 the Servicer sold to the
Trust, and agreed to service on behalf of the Trust, a pool of motor vehicle
retail installment sale contracts and simple interest loan note and security
agreements. The Trust is also party to an Indenture dated as of September 1,
1995 between the Trust and Chemical Bank, a New York banking corporation, as
indenture trustee related to the notes described below. Subsequent to the
merger of The Chase Manhattan Bank and Chemical Bank, The Chase Manhattan Bank
continued as indenture trustee, (the "Indenture Trustee"). Also on September
27, 1995, the Trust issued asset backed notes and asset backed certificates
consisting of $85,300,000 of Class A-1 5.7725% Asset Backed Notes;
$104,427,000 of Class A-2 5.90% Asset Backed Notes; $101,576,574 of Class
A-3 6.10% Asset Backed Notes (said notes are collectively referred to herein
as the "Notes"); and $12,137,649 of 6.35% Asset Backed Certificates (the
"Certificates").
Subsequent to the purchase of Boatmen's Bancshares, Inc. by NationsBank
Corporation on January 7, 1997, The Boatmen's National Bank of St. Louis was
merged into NationsBank, N.A. and NationsBank, N.A. became Servicer of the
loans.
The property of the Trust includes the pool of motor vehicle retail
installment sale contracts and simple interest loan note and security
agreements secured by the new and used automobiles and light trucks financed
thereby (the "Receivables") which were acquired from the Servicer. The
property of the Trust also includes (i) certain monies due under the
Receivables on and after September 1, 1995, (ii) security interests in the
vehicles financed by the Receivables, (iii) certain accounts and the proceeds
thereof, (iv) any proceeds from claims on certain insurance policies, and (v)
certain rights under the Sales and Servicing Agreement.
