(d) An executory waiver or a limitation of exemption from attachment, execution or other process on real or personal property the consumer holds, owns or is due, unless the waiver or limitation applies only to property that is subject to a security interest executed in connection with the loan; or

(e) A clause that permits interest to continue after the consumer's motor vehicle, recreational vehicle, boat or mobile home has been repossessed.
