(A) Each Obligor has obtained insurance covering the Financed Vehicle as of the execution of the Receivable insuring against loss and damage due to fire, theft, transportation, collision and other risks generally covered by comprehensive and collision coverage which is in an amount at least equal to the lesser of (x) its maximum insurable value or (y) the principal amount due from the Obligor under the related Receivable and names LBAC and its successors and assigns as loss payee and each Receivable requires the Obligor to obtain and maintain such insurance naming LBAC and its successors and assigns as an additional insured, (B) each Receivable that finances the cost of premiums for credit life and credit accident or health insurance is covered by an insurance policy and certificate of insurance naming LBAC as policyholder (creditor) under each such insurance policy and certificate of insurance and (C) as to each Receivable that finances the cost of an extended service contract, the respective Financed Vehicle which secures the Receivable is covered by an extended service contract. (xxii) Title. It is the intention of LBAC that the transfer and assignment herein contemplated constitute a sale of the Receivables from LBAC to the Transferor and that the beneficial interest in and title to such Receivables not be part of the debtor's estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against LBAC under any bankruptcy law. No Receivable has been sold, transferred, assigned, or pledged by LBAC to any Person other than the Transferor or conveyed by the Transferor to any Person other than the Issuer except with respect to any such pledge that has been released on or prior to the Closing Date. Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment herein contemplated, LBAC shall have good and marketable title to each Receivable, and shall be the sole owner thereof, free and clear of all Liens, claims, encumbrances, security interests, and rights of others and, immediately upon the transfer thereof, the Transferor shall have good and marketable title to each such Receivable, and shall be the sole owner thereof, free and clear of all Liens, encumbrances, security interests, and rights of others, and each such transfer has been perfected under the UCC. Immediately prior to the conveyance by the Transferor to the Issuer contemplated by the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Transferor shall have good and marketable title to each Receivable, and shall be the sole owner thereof, free and clear of all Liens, claims, encumbrances, security interests, and rights of others and, immediately upon the conveyance thereof pursuant to the Sale and 12 Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall have good and marketable title to each such Receivable, and shall be the sole owner thereof, free and clear of all Liens, encumbrances, security interests and rights of others, and each such transfer has been perfected under the UCC. Immediately prior to the pledge by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee contemplated by the Indenture, the Issuer shall have good and marketable title to each Receivable, and shall be the sole owner thereof, free and clear of all Liens, claims, encumbrances, security interests, and rights of others and such pledge has been perfected under the UCC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Dealer has any right, title or interest in respect of any Receivable. Neither the Transferor nor LBAC has taken any action to convey any right to any Person that would result in such Person having a right to payments received under any insurance policies related to the Receivables or the Financed Vehicles or the related Dealer Agreements or to payments due under such Receivables. (xxiii) Lawful Assignment. No Receivable has been originated in, or is subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction under which the sale, transfer, and assignment of such Receivable under this Purchase Agreement shall be unlawful, void, or voidable. LBAC has not entered into any agreement with any account debtor that prohibits, restricts or conditions the assignment of any portion of the Receivables. (xxiv) All Filings Made. All filings (including, without limitation, UCC filings) necessary in any jurisdiction to give the Indenture Trustee a first priority perfected ownership interest in the Receivables and the proceeds thereof and the other Transferred Property (other than the Financed Vehicles) have been made. (xxv) Chattel Paper. Each Receivable constitutes "chattel paper" under the UCC. (xxvi) Valid and Binding Obligation of Obligor. Each Receivable is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Obligor thereunder and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except only as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and all parties to such contract had full legal capacity to execute and deliver such contract and all other documents related thereto and to grant the security interest purported to be granted thereby. (xxvii) Tax Liens. As of the Closing Date, there is no lien or claims existing or which have been filed against the related Financed Vehicle for delinquent taxes. (xxviii) Title Documents. (A) If a Receivable was originated in a State in which notation of security interest on the title document of the related Financed Vehicle is required or permitted to perfect such security interest, the title document for such Receivable shows, or if a new or replacement title document is being applied for with respect to such Financed Vehicle, the title document will be received within 150 days following the Closing Date and will show, LBAC named as the original secured party under the related Receivable as the holder of a first priority security interest in such Financed Vehicle and (B) if the Receivable was originated in a State in which the filing of a financing statement under the UCC is required to perfect a security interest in motor 13 vehicles, such filings or recordings have been duly made and show LBAC named as the secured party under the related Receivable, and in either case, the Indenture Trustee has the same rights as such secured party has or would have (if such secured party were still the owner of the Receivable) against all parties claiming an interest in such Financed Vehicle. With respect to each Receivable for which the relevant Dealer is temporarily unable to furnish either an original Lien Certificate or satisfactory evidence that the appropriate lien has been recorded on the related certificate of title or documentation has been submitted to the appropriate state motor vehicle authority to record such lien on such certificate of title, LBAC has received the related Dealer Title Guaranty. (xxix) Casualty. As of the Cutoff Date, no Financed Vehicle related to a Receivable has suffered a Casualty. (xxx) Obligation to Dealers or Others. The Transferor and its assignees will assume no obligation to Dealers or other originators or holders of the Receivables (including, but not limited to under dealer reserves) as a result of its purchase of the Receivables. (xxxi) Full Amount Financed Advanced. The full Amount Financed of each Receivable has been advanced to or on behalf of each Obligor, and there are no requirements for future advances thereunder. The Obligor with respect to each Receivable does not have any option under such Receivable to borrow from any person additional funds secured by the Financed Vehicle. (xxxii) No Impairment. Neither LBAC nor the Transferor has done anything to convey any right to any Person that would result in such Person having a right to payments due under any Receivables or otherwise to impair the rights of the Transferor, the Issuer, the Noteholders [or the Note Insurer] in any Receivable or the proceeds thereof. (xxxiii) Receivables Not Assumable. No Receivable is assumable by another Person in a manner which would release the Obligor thereof from such Obligor's obligations to the Transferor or LBAC with respect to such Receivable. (xxxiv) Servicing. The servicing of each Receivable and the collection practices relating thereto have been lawful and in accordance with the standards set forth in the Sale and Servicing Agreement; other than LBAC and any Back-up Servicer arrangement that has been entered into, no other person has the right to service any Receivable. (xxxv) Illinois Receivables. (a) LBAC does not own a substantial interest in the business of a Dealer within the meaning of Illinois Sales Finance Agency Act Rules and Regulations, Section 160.230(l) and (b) with respect to each Receivable originated in the State of Illinois, (i) the printed or typed portion of the related Form of Receivable complies with the requirements of 815 ILCS 375/3(b) and (ii) LBAC has not, and for so long as such Receivable is outstanding shall not, place or cause to be placed on the related Financed Vehicle any collateral protection insurance in violation of 815 ILCS 180/10. 14 (xxxvi) California Receivables. Each Receivable originated in the State of California has been, and at all times during the term of the Sale and Servicing Agreement will be, serviced by the Servicer in compliance with Cal. Civil Code ss. 2981, et seq. (c) The representations and warranties contained in this Purchase Agreement are made as of the execution and delivery of this Purchase Agreement, but shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables and the other Transferred Property hereunder, the conveyance thereof by the Transferor to the Issuer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the pledge thereof by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture. LBAC and the Transferor agree that the Transferor will assign to the Issuer all of the Transferor's rights under this Purchase Agreement, the Issuer will assign to the Indenture Trustee all of the Issuer's rights under this Purchase Agreement and that the Indenture Trustee shall thereafter be entitled to enforce this Purchase Agreement and directly against LBAC in the Indenture Trustee's own name on behalf of the Noteholders; provided, however, that such representations and warranties shall not be construed as a warranty or guaranty by LBAC as to the future payments by any Obligor. The sale of the Receivables pursuant to this Purchase Agreement shall be "without recourse" except for the representations, warranties and covenants made by LBAC in this Purchase Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

ARTICLE VI MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 6.1. Obligations of Seller. The obligations of LBAC under this Purchase Agreement shall not be affected by reason of any invalidity, illegality or irregularity of any Receivable. 6.2. Repurchase Events. LBAC hereby covenants and agrees with the Transferor for the benefit of the Transferor, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent, [the Note Insurer], the Noteholders and the Certificateholder, that (i) the occurrence of a breach of any of LBAC's representations and warranties contained in Section 3.2(b) (without regard to any limitations regarding LBAC's knowledge), and (ii) the failure of LBAC to timely comply with its obligations pursuant to Section 5.5 hereof, shall constitute events obligating LBAC to repurchase the affected Receivables hereunder ("Repurchase Events"), at the Purchase 21 Amount from the Issuer. Unless the breach of any of LBAC's representations and warranties shall have been cured by the last day of the second Collection Period following the discovery thereof by or notice to LBAC of such breach, LBAC shall repurchase any Receivable if such Receivable or the interest therein of the Transferor, the Issuer, the Noteholders, [the Note Insurer] or the Certificateholder is materially and adversely affected by the breach as of the last day of such second Collection Period and, in the event that the breach relates to a characteristic of the Receivables in the aggregate, and if the Transferor, the Issuer, the Noteholders, [the Note Insurer] or the Certificateholder is materially and adversely affected by such breach, unless the breach shall have been cured by the last day of such second Collection Period, LBAC shall purchase such aggregate Principal Balance of Receivables, such that following such purchase such representation shall be true and correct with respect to the remainder of the Receivables in the aggregate. The provisions of this Section 6.2 are intended to grant the Indenture Trustee a direct right against LBAC acting at the direction or with the consent of [the Note Insurer] to demand performance hereunder, and in connection therewith LBAC waives any requirement of prior demand against the Transferor and waives any defaults it would have against the Transferor with respect to such repurchase obligation. In addition to the foregoing, LBAC shall be under an obligation to promptly purchase from the Transferor (in its capacity as Transferor under the Sale and Servicing Agreement) any Receivable required to be repurchased by LBAC pursuant to a breach of its obligations in the Sale and Servicing Agreement including, without limitation, LBAC's repurchase obligations set forth in Sections 3.2 and 3.4 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Any such purchase described in this Section shall take place in the manner specified in Section 5.5 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The sole remedy hereunder of the Noteholders, the Certificateholder, the Issuer, [the Note Insurer], the Indenture Trustee or the Transferor against LBAC with respect to any Repurchase Event shall be to enforce LBAC's obligation to repurchase such Receivables pursuant to this Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that LBAC shall indemnify the Owner Trustee, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent, [the Note Insurer], the Indenture Trustee, the Back-up Servicer, the Collateral Agent, the Noteholders and the Certificateholder and their respective officers, directors and employees against all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, which may be asserted against or incurred by any of them, as a result of third party claims arising out of the events or facts giving rise to a Repurchase Event.

With respect to all Receivables repurchased by LBAC pursuant to this Purchase Agreement, the Transferor shall assign, without recourse except as provided herein, representation or warranty, to LBAC all the Transferor's right, title and interest in and to such Receivables, and all security and documents relating thereto. 6.4. Conveyance as Sale of Receivables Not Financing. The parties hereto intend that the conveyance hereunder be a sale of the Receivables and the other Transferred Property relating thereto from LBAC to the Transferor and not a financing secured by such assets; and the beneficial interest in and title to Receivables and the other Transferred Property shall 22 not be part of LBAC's estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against LBAC under any bankruptcy law.
