(c)  Financing Statements.  All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Depositor in favor of the Indenture Trustee (as assignee of the Issuer) contain a statement substantially to the following effect: “A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Indenture Trustee”.
 
(d)  No Transfer Restrictions.  The Depositor has not created, incurred or suffered to exist any restriction on transferability of the Receivables except for the restrictions on transferability imposed by this Agreement.  The transfer of the Receivables and the Receivable Files by the Depositor to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement is not subject to the bulk transfer laws or any similar statutory provisions in effect in any applicable jurisdiction.

(d)  Title to Receivables.  The Master Servicer shall not at any time have, or in any way attempt to assert, any interest in any Receivable held by it as custodian hereunder or in the related Receivable File, other than for collecting or enforcing such Receivable for the benefit of the Issuer.  The entire equitable interest in such Receivable and the related Receivable File shall at all times be vested in the Issuer.
 
Section 2.07.  Instructions; Authority to Act.  The Master Servicer shall be deemed to have received proper instructions with respect to the Receivable Files upon its receipt of written instructions signed by a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee.  A certified copy of excerpts of authorizing resolutions of the board of directors of the Indenture Trustee shall constitute conclusive evidence of the authority of any such Responsible Officer to act and shall be considered in full force and effect until receipt by the Master Servicer of written notice to the contrary given by the Indenture Trustee.
 
Section 2.08.  Indemnification by Custodian.  The Master Servicer, in its capacity as custodian of the Receivable Files, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, the Trustees and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, compensatory damages, payments, costs or expenses (including reasonable legal fees, if any) of any kind whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred or asserted against the Issuer, the Trustees and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents as the result of any improper act or omission in any way relating to the maintenance and custody of the Receivable Files by the Master Servicer, as custodian; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not be liable for any portion of any such liabilities, obligations, losses, compensatory damages, payments, costs or expenses resulting from the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of either Trustee.
 
Section 2.09.  Effective Period and Termination.  The Master Servicer’s appointment as custodian shall become effective as of the Cutoff Date and shall continue in full force and effect until terminated pursuant to this Section.  If the Master Servicer shall resign as Master Servicer under Section 6.05, or if all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer shall have been terminated under Section 7.01, the appointment of the Master Servicer as custodian hereunder may be terminated by (i) the Issuer, with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, (ii) Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class or, if the Notes have been paid in full, by Certificateholders evidencing not less than 25% of the aggregate Certificate Percentage Interests then outstanding or (iii) the Owner Trustee, with the consent of Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, in each case by notice then given in writing to the Depositor and the Master Servicer (with a copy to the Trustees if given by the Noteholders or the Certificateholders).  As soon as practicable after any termination of such appointment, the Master Servicer shall deliver, or cause to be
 
22

 
delivered, the Receivable Files and the related accounts and records maintained by the Master Servicer to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee’s agent or the Indenture Trustee’s designee, as the case may be, at such place as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably designate or, if the Notes have been paid in full, at such place as the Owner Trustee may reasonably designate.

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF THE TRUST PROPERTY
 
Section 3.01.  Duties of Master Servicer.  The Master Servicer, acting alone or through one or more subservicers to the extent permitted hereunder, for the benefit of the Issuer, shall manage, service, administer and make collections on the Receivables with reasonable care but in no event less than the care that the Master Servicer exercises with respect to all comparable motor vehicle receivables that it services for itself or others.  The Master Servicer’s duties shall include collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors or by federal, State or local government authorities with respect to the Receivables, investigating delinquencies, sending payment coupons to Obligors, reporting tax information to Obligors in accordance with its customary practices, policing the collateral, accounting for collections and furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Trustees with respect to distributions, providing collection and repossession services in the event of Obligor default, generating federal income tax information and performing the other duties specified herein.  The Master Servicer shall have full power and authority to do any and all things in connection with such managing, servicing, administration and collection that it may deem necessary or desirable, it being understood, however, that the Master Servicer shall at all times remain responsible to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee for the performance of its duties and obligations hereunder.  Subject to the foregoing and to Section 3.02, the Master Servicer shall follow its customary standards, policies, practices and procedures in performing its duties hereunder as Master Servicer.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall be authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Depositor, the Issuer, the Trustees, the Securityholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Receivables and the Financed Vehicles.
 
The Master Servicer is hereby authorized to commence, in its own name or in the name of the Issuer, a legal proceeding to enforce a Receivable pursuant to Section 3.04 or to commence or participate in a legal proceeding (including a bankruptcy proceeding) relating to or involving a Receivable, including a Defaulted Receivable.  If the Master Servicer commences or participates in such a legal proceeding in its own name, the Issuer shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned, solely for the purpose of collection on behalf of the party retaining an interest in such Receivable, such Receivable and the other property conveyed to the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.01 with respect to such Receivable to the Master Servicer for purposes of commencing or participating in any such proceeding as a party or claimant, and the Master Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Issuer to execute and deliver in the Master Servicer’s name any notices, demands, claims, complaints, responses, affidavits or other documents or instruments in connection with any such proceeding.  If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it shall be held that the Master Servicer may not enforce a Receivable on the grounds that it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce such Receivable, the Owner Trustee shall, at the Master Servicer’s expense and written direction, take steps to enforce such Receivable, including bringing suit in the Master Servicer’s or the Issuer’s name or the name of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders, the Certificateholders or any of them.
 
24

 
The Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, shall furnish the Master Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents and take any other steps which the Master Servicer may deem necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder.  The Master Servicer, at its expense, shall obtain on behalf of the Issuer or the Owner Trustee all licenses, if any, required by the laws of any jurisdiction to be held by the Issuer or the Owner Trustee in connection with ownership of the Receivables and shall make all filings and pay all fees as may be required in connection therewith during the term of this Agreement.  The Master Servicer shall, or cause the Administrator to, prepare, execute and deliver all certificates or other documents required to be delivered by the Issuer pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
 
Section 3.02.  Subservicers.
 
(a)  The Master Servicer may enter into subservicing agreements with one or more subservicers for the servicing and administration of certain of the Receivables (including holding the related Receivable Files as custodian).  References herein to actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer in servicing the Receivables include actions taken or to be taken by a subservicer on behalf of the Master Servicer.  Each subservicing agreement will be upon such terms and conditions as are not inconsistent with this Agreement and as the Master Servicer and the subservicer have agreed.  With the approval of the Master Servicer, a subservicer may delegate its servicing obligations to third-party servicers, but such subservicer will remain obligated under the related subservicing agreement.  The Master Servicer and a subservicer may enter into amendments thereto or different forms of subservicing agreements; provided, however, that any such amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement or materially adversely affect the rights of the Securityholders hereunder.
 
(b)  The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any subservicing agreement that may exist in accordance with the terms and conditions of such subservicing agreement and without any limitation by virtue of this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event of termination of any subservicing agreement by the Master Servicer or the related subservicer, the Master Servicer shall either act directly as servicer of the related Receivable or enter into a subservicing agreement with a successor subservicer which will be bound by the terms of the related subservicing agreement.
 
(c)  Notwithstanding any subservicing agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer or a subservicer or reference to actions taken through such Persons or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Issuer and the Securityholders for the servicing and administering of the Receivables in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such subservicing agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from a subservicer and to the same extent and  under the same terms and conditions as if the Master Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Receivables.  The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with a subservicer for indemnification of the Master Servicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.
 
25

 
(d)  Any subservicing agreement that may be entered into and any other transactions or servicing arrangements relating to the Receivables involving a subservicer or an Affiliate of the Master Servicer, shall be deemed to be between the subservicer or such Affiliate, as the case may be, and the Master Servicer alone, and none of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Issuer, the Noteholders or the Certificateholders shall be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the subservicer except as set forth in the immediately succeeding paragraph.
 
(e)  In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be acting as master servicer under this Agreement (including by reason of termination of the Master Servicer following the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event), the Indenture Trustee or its designee may, at the sole discretion of the Indenture Trustee, thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of such Master Servicer under each subservicing agreement selected by the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion.  In such event, the Indenture Trustee, its designee or such other Successor Master Servicer that is appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 and assumes the obligations and duties of the Master Servicer under this Agreement shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer’s interest therein and to have replaced the Master Servicer as a party to each such subservicing agreement to the same extent as if such subservicing agreement had been assigned to the assuming party except that the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under the subservicing agreement.  The Master Servicer shall, upon request of the Indenture Trustee but at the expense of the Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each such subservicing agreement and the Receivables then being serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the subservicing agreement to the assuming party.  The Master Servicer shall promptly provide notice to each Rating Agency, with respect to such termination of the Master Servicer and assumption by the Indenture Trustee.
 
(f)  The Master Servicer, each subservicer and any Successor Master Servicer shall at all times comply with all applicable federal, State and local laws, rules, regulations and ordinances governing or relating to the privacy rights of the Obligors in connection with its performance of its duties under this Agreement, including the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.  The Master Servicer, each subservicer and any Successor Master Servicer shall implement such physical and other security measures as shall be necessary to (i) ensure the security and confidentiality of the “nonpublic personal information” of each Obligor, (ii) protect against any threats or hazards to the security and integrity of such nonpublic personal information and (iii) protect against any unauthorized access to or use of such nonpublic personal information.
 
Section 3.03.  Collection of Receivable Payments; Modification of Receivables.  The Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Receivables as and when the same shall become due and otherwise act with respect to the Receivables and the other Trust Property in such manner as will, in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer, maximize the amount to be received by the Issuer with respect thereto and in accordance with the standard of care required by Section 3.01.  The Master Servicer shall allocate collections on or in respect of the Receivables between principal and interest in accordance with the Simple Interest Method and the customary servicing practices and procedures it follows with respect to all comparable motor vehicle retail installment sale contracts and installment loans that it services for itself or others.  The Master Servicer shall not increase or decrease the number or amount of any Monthly Payment, the Amount Financed under any Receivable or the Contract Rate of any Receivable, or extend, rewrite or otherwise modify the payment terms of any Receivable; provided, however, that the Master Servicer may extend the due date for one or more payments due on any Receivable for credit-related reasons that would be acceptable to the Master Servicer with respect to comparable motor vehicle retail installment sale contracts and installment loans that it services for itself or others and in accordance with its customary standards, policies, practices and procedures if the cumulative extensions with respect to any Receivable shall not cause the term of such Receivable to extend beyond the last day of the Collection Period immediately preceding the Class E Final Scheduled Distribution Date.  If the Master Servicer fails to comply with the provisions of the preceding sentence, the Master Servicer shall be required to purchase each Receivable affected thereby for the related Purchase Amount, in the manner specified in Section 3.08, as of the close of business on the last day of the Collection Period that includes the 30th day after the Master Servicer becomes aware of such failure, on the Deposit Date immediately following such Collection Period.  The Master Servicer may, in its discretion (but only in accordance with its customary standards, policies, practices and procedures), waive any late payment charge or any other fee that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing a Receivable.  In addition, in the event that any such extension of a Receivable modifies the terms of such Receivable in such a manner as to constitute a cancellation of such Receivable and the creation of a new motor vehicle receivable that results in a deemed exchange thereof within the meaning of Section 1001 of the Code, the Master Servicer shall purchase such Receivable pursuant to Section 3.08, and the Receivable created shall not be included in the Trust Property.
 
26

 
Section 3.04.  Realization Upon Receivables.
 
(a)  The Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts on behalf of the Issuer, in accordance with the standard of care required under Section 3.01, to repossess or otherwise convert the ownership of each Financed Vehicle securing a Defaulted Receivable.  In taking such action, the Master Servicer shall follow such customary and usual practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable in its servicing of comparable motor vehicle installment sale contracts and installment loans, and as are otherwise consistent with the standard of care required under Section 3.01.  The Master Servicer shall be entitled to recover all reasonable expenses incurred by it with respect to realizing on a Defaulted Receivable, including such expenses incurred in the course of repossessing and liquidating a Financed Vehicle into cash proceeds, but only out of the cash proceeds of such Financed Vehicle and any deficiency amount obtained from the Obligor.  The foregoing is subject to the proviso that, in any case in which the Financed Vehicle shall have suffered damage, the Master Servicer shall not expend funds in connection with any repair or towards the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless it shall determine in its discretion that such repair or repossession shall increase the Net Liquidation Proceeds or Recoveries of the related Receivable.
 
(b)  If the Master Servicer elects to commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Dealer Agreement, the act of commencement shall be deemed to be an automatic assignment from the Issuer to the Master Servicer of the rights of recourse under such Dealer Agreement.  If, however, in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding, it is held that the Master Servicer may not enforce a Dealer Agreement on the grounds that it is not a real party in interest or a Person entitled to enforce the Dealer Agreement, the Owner Trustee, at the Master Servicer’s expense and direction, shall take such steps as the Master Servicer deems necessary to enforce the Dealer Agreement, including bringing suit in its name or the names of the Indenture Trustee, the Securityholders or any of them.
 
27

 
Section 3.05.  Maintenance of Physical Damage Insurance Policies.  The Master Servicer shall follow its customary practices and procedures to determine whether or not each Obligor shall have maintained physical damage insurance covering the related Financed Vehicle.  In the event that the Master Servicer has determined that an Obligor fails to maintain the required insurance, the Master Servicer shall treat the Obligor as being in default under the related Receivable.
 
Section 3.06.  Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Vehicles.  The Master Servicer shall take such steps, in accordance with the standard of care required under Section 3.01, as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest created by each Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle.  The Issuer hereby authorizes the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer hereby agrees, to take such steps as are necessary to re-perfect such security interest on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in the event the Master Servicer receives notice of, or otherwise has actual knowledge of, the fact that such security interest is not perfected as a result of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle or for any other reason.  In the event that the assignment of a Receivable to the Issuer is insufficient, without a notation on the related Financed Vehicle’s certificate of title, to grant to the Issuer a first priority perfected security interest in the related Financed Vehicle, the Master Servicer hereby agrees to serve as the agent of the Issuer for the purpose of perfecting the security interest of the Issuer in such Financed Vehicle and agrees that the Master Servicer’s listing as the secured party on the certificate of title is solely in its capacity as agent of the Issuer.  The Master Servicer shall not release, in whole or in part, any security interest in a Financed Vehicle created by the related Receivable except as permitted herein or in accordance with its customary standards, policies, practices and procedures.
 
Section 3.07.  Covenants of Master Servicer.  The Master Servicer makes the following covenants:
 
(a)  Liens in Force.  Except upon the payment in full of a Receivable or as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement or applicable law, the Master Servicer shall not release in whole or in part any Financed Vehicle from the security interest securing the related Receivable.
 
(b)  No Impairment.  The Master Servicer shall not impair in any material respect the rights of the Depositor, the Issuer, the Trustees or the Securityholders in the Receivables or, except as permitted under Section 3.03, otherwise amend or alter the terms of the Receivables and as a result of such amendment or modification or alteration, the interests of the Depositor, the Issuer, the Trustees or the Securityholder would be materially adversely affected.
 
(c)  Schedule of Receivables to Indenture Trustee.  The Master Servicer shall on or before the Closing Date (and, at any time thereafter, upon the request of the Indenture Trustee) deliver to the Indenture Trustee a copy of the Schedule of Receivables.

Section 3.08.  Purchase of Receivables Upon Breach.  The Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, shall inform the other parties to this Agreement and the Indenture Trustee promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of any breach of Section 3.03, 3.06 or 3.07.  If such breach shall not have been cured by the close of business on the last day of the Collection Period which includes the 30th day after the date on which the Master Servicer becomes aware of, or receives written notice from the Depositor, the Seller, or the Owner Trustee of, such breach, and such breach materially and adversely affects the interest of the Issuer in a Receivable, the Master Servicer shall purchase such Receivable from the Issuer, as of the close of business on the last day of the related Collection Period, by remitting the related Purchase Amount of such Receivable to the Collection Account in the manner specified in Section 4.08(a), on the related Deposit Date.  The sole remedy of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the Certificateholders with respect to a breach of Section 3.03, 3.06 or 3.07 shall be to require the Master Servicer to purchase Receivables pursuant to this Section.  Neither the Owner Trustee nor the Indenture Trustee shall have any duty to conduct an affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the purchase of any Receivable pursuant to this Section.
 
Section 3.09.  Servicing Compensation; Payment of Certain Expenses by Master Servicer.  The Master Servicer shall receive the Monthly Servicing Fee for servicing the Receivables.  As additional servicing compensation, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive or retain the Supplemental Servicing Fee.  The Master Servicer shall pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with the activities under this Agreement (including fees and expenses of the Trustees, the Independent accountants and any subservicer, taxes imposed on the Master Servicer, expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports to Securityholders and all other fees and expenses not expressly stated under this Agreement to be for the account of the Securityholders), except expenses incurred in realizing upon Receivables under Section 3.04.
 
Section 3.10.  Master Servicer’s Certificate.  On or before each Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor, the Seller, the Swap Counterparty and the Trustees, a Master Servicer’s Certificate containing all information necessary to make the transfers and distributions required by Sections 4.01, 4.02, 4.07 and 4.08 in respect of the related Collection Period and the related Distribution Date and all information necessary for the Trustees, as applicable, to send (or provide access to via the internet) statements to Securityholders pursuant to Section 4.10 and pursuant to Section 6.06 of the Indenture.  The Master Servicer shall also specify to the Trustees, no later than the Determination Date following the last day of a Collection Period as of which the Seller shall separately identify (by account number) in a written notice to the Depositor and the Trustees, the Receivables to be repurchased by the Seller or purchased by the Master Servicer, as the case may be, on the related Deposit Date and, upon request of one of the foregoing parties, each Receivable that became a Defaulted Receivable during the related Collection Period.

29

 
(b)  Notwithstanding Section 3.11(a), to the extent that Regulation AB requires the delivery by the Master Servicer of an annual report on an assessment of servicing compliance on the basis of detailed servicing criteria or other report, the delivery of a copy of such report to the Depositor, the Trustees and each Rating Agency shall be deemed to satisfy the provisions of Subsection 3.11(a).
 
(c)  The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor, the Trustees, the Swap Counterparty and each Rating Agency, promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof, but in no event later than five Business Days thereafter, an Officer’s Certificate specifying any event which constitutes or, with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become, a Servicer Termination Event.
 
(d)  The Master Servicer shall cause each Reporting Subcontractor to deliver to the Depositor an assessment of compliance and accountant’s attestation as and when provided in paragraph (a)(i) or (ii) of this Section 3.11 and Section 3.12.  The Master Servicer shall execute (provided the Master Servicer is not an Affiliate of the Depositor) (and shall cause each Reporting Subcontractor to execute) a reliance certificate to enable the Certification Parties to rely upon each (i) annual report on assessments of compliance with servicing criteria provided pursuant to Section 3.11 and (ii) accountant’s report provided pursuant to Section 3.12 and shall include a certification that each such annual compliance statement or report discloses any deficiencies or defaults described to the registered public accountants of such Person to enable such accountants to render the certificates provided for in Section 3.12.

Section 3.14.  Reports to the Commission.  The Master Servicer shall, on behalf of the Issuer, cause to be filed with the Commission any periodic reports required to be filed under the provisions of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.  The Depositor shall, at its expense, cooperate in any reasonable request made by the Master Servicer in connection with such filings.

THE MASTER SERVICER
 
Section 6.01.  Representations and Warranties of Master Servicer.  The Master Servicer makes the following representations and warranties on which the Issuer is deemed to have relied in acquiring the Trust Property.  The representations and warranties speak as of the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date, and shall survive the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Trust Property to the Issuer and the pledge thereof to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture:
 
(a)  Organization and Good Standing.  The Master Servicer is a national banking association duly organized and validly existing as a banking institution under the laws of the United States and continues to hold a valid certificate to do business as such.  It is duly authorized to own its properties and transact its business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the business transacted by it or any properties owned or leased by it requires such authorization and in which the failure to be so authorized would have a material adverse effect on its business, properties, assets, or condition (financial or other) and those of its subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise.  The Master Servicer has, and at all relevant times had, the power, authority and legal right to service the Receivables and to hold the Receivable Files as custodian on behalf of the Issuer.
 
(b)  Due Qualification.  The Master Servicer is duly qualified to do business in good standing and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify or to obtain such licenses and approvals would, in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer, materially and adversely affect the performance by the Master Servicer of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement, each other Basic Document to which the Master Servicer is a party, the Receivables, the Notes or the Certificates.
 
(c)  Power and Authority.  The Master Servicer has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and each other Basic Document to which it is a party; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and each other Basic Document to which it is a party have been duly authorized by the Master Servicer by all necessary action.
 
(d)  Binding Obligation.  This Agreement and each other Basic Document to which the Master Servicer is a party constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Master Servicer, enforceable against the Master Servicer in accordance with their respective terms, except that such enforceability may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, and creditors of national banking associations and financial institutions the accounts of which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in particular, and to general equitable principles (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), including concepts of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief.
 
47

 
(e)  No Violation.  The execution, delivery and performance by the Master Servicer of this Agreement and each other Basic Document to which the Master Servicer is a party, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and the fulfillment of their respective terms shall not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, the articles of association or bylaws of the Master Servicer, or any material indenture, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument to which the Master Servicer is a party, by which the Master Servicer is bound or to which any of its properties are subject; or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument, other than this Agreement and the other Basic Documents, or violate any law, order, rule or regulation applicable to the Master Servicer or its properties of any federal or State regulatory body, court, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Master Servicer or any of its properties.
 
(f)  No Proceedings.  There are no proceedings or investigations pending or, to the knowledge of the Master Servicer, threatened, against the Master Servicer before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other tribunal or governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Master Servicer or its properties: (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement or any of the other Basic Documents, (ii) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Securities or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Basic Documents, (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that, in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer, would materially and adversely affect the performance by it of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement or the Receivables or (iv) seeking to adversely affect the federal income tax or other federal, State or local tax attributes of the Securities.
 
Section 6.02.  Liability of Master Servicer; Indemnities.  The Master Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the Master Servicer under this Agreement.  Such obligations shall include the following:

(b)  The Master Servicer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuer, the Depositor and the Trustees from and against any taxes that may at any time be asserted against any such Person as a result of or relating to the transactions contemplated herein and in the other Basic Documents, including any sales, gross receipts, gross margin, general corporation, tangible personal property, privilege or license taxes (but not including any taxes asserted with respect to, and as of the date of, the sale of the Receivables to the Issuer or the issuance and original sale of the Securities, or federal or State income taxes arising out of distributions on the Securities) and costs and expenses in defending against such taxes.
 
48

 
(c)  The Master Servicer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuer, the Trustees, the Securityholders and the Depositor from and against any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense incurred by reason of the Master Servicer’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or any other Basic Document to which it is a party or by reason of a reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement or any other Basic Document to which it is a party.
 
(d)  The Master Servicer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Trustees and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents from and against all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses arising out of or incurred in connection with the acceptance or performance of the trusts and duties herein and contained in the Trust Agreement (in the case of the Owner Trustee) and contained in the Indenture (in the case of the Indenture Trustee), except to the extent that such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense: (i) shall be due to the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence (except for errors in judgment) of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, (ii) in the case of the Owner Trustee, shall arise from the breach by the Owner Trustee of any of its representations or warranties set forth in Section 7.03 of the Trust Agreement, (iii) in the case of the Indenture Trustee, shall arise from the breach by the Indenture Trustee of any of its representations and warranties set forth in the Indenture or shall arise out of or be incurred in connection with the performance by the Indenture Trustee of the duties of a Successor Master Servicer hereunder or (iv) relates to any tax other than to the taxes with respect to which either the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be required to indemnify the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable.
 
(e)  The Master Servicer shall pay the Owner Trustee compensation, reimbursement or other payments owed to it pursuant to Sections 8.01 and 8.02 of the Trust Agreement.
 
In addition to the foregoing indemnities, if the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee is entitled to indemnification by the Depositor pursuant to Section 5.02 and the Depositor is unable for any reason to provide such indemnification to the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, then the Master Servicer shall be liable for any indemnification that the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee is entitled to under Section 5.02.  For purposes of this Section, in the event of a termination of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer (or any Successor Master Servicer) pursuant to Section 7.01 or a resignation by such Master Servicer pursuant to Section 6.05, such Master Servicer shall be deemed to be the Master Servicer pending appointment of a Successor Master Servicer (other than the Indenture Trustee) pursuant to Section 7.02.  Indemnification under this Section by the Master Servicer (or any Successor Master Servicer), with respect to the period such Person was (or was deemed to be) the Master Servicer, shall survive the termination of each Person as Master Servicer or a resignation by such Person as Master Servicer, as well as the resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, or the termination of this Agreement and shall include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation.  If the Master Servicer shall have made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section and the Person to or on behalf of whom such payments are made thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Person shall promptly repay such amounts to the Master Servicer, as the case may be, without interest.

Section 6.03.  Merger, Consolidation or Assumption of the Obligations of Master Servicer.  Any Person (i) into which the Master Servicer shall be merged or consolidated, (ii) which may result from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Master Servicer shall be a party or (iii) which may succeed to all or substantially all of the business of the Master Servicer, which Person in any of the foregoing cases is an Eligible Servicer and executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, shall be the successor to the Master Servicer under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any other document or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided, however, the Master Servicer shall have delivered to the Depositor, the Swap Counterparty and the Trustees (a) an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that such merger, conversion or consolidation and such agreement of assumption comply with this Section and (b) an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, either (A) all financing statements and continuation statements and amendments thereto have been authorized and filed that are necessary to preserve and protect the interest of the Issuer, the Swap Counterparty and the Indenture Trustee, respectively, in the assets of the Issuer and reciting the details of such filings or referring to prior Opinions of Counsel in which such details are given or (B) no such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interest.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the execution of the foregoing agreement of assumption and compliance with clauses (a) and (b) above shall be conditions to the consummation of the transactions referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above.  The Master Servicer shall provide prior written notice of any merger, conversion, consolidation or succession pursuant to this Section to the Trustees, the Swap Counterparty, the Rating Agencies and the Depositor.  The Master Servicer shall provide such information in writing as reasonably requested by the Depositor to allow the Depositor to comply with its Exchange Act reporting obligations with respect to a Successor Master Servicer.

(b)  Except as provided herein, the Master Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that shall not be incidental to its duties to administer and service the Receivables in accordance with this Agreement, and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Master Servicer may undertake any reasonable action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties to this Agreement and the interests of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders under this Agreement.  In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Master Servicer.

(c)  any representation or warranty of the Master Servicer made in this Agreement, or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, other than any representation or warranty relating to a Receivable that has been purchased by the Master Servicer, proving to have been incorrect in any material respect as of the time when the same shall have been made, and the circumstance or condition in respect of which such representation or warranty was incorrect shall not have been eliminated or otherwise cured for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such circumstance or condition, requiring the same to be eliminated or cured, shall have been given (i) to the Master Servicer by the Depositor, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or (ii) to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustees by the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class;

Section 7.03.  Effect of Servicing Transfer.
 
(a)  After a transfer of servicing hereunder, the Indenture Trustee or Successor Master Servicer shall notify the Obligors to make directly to the Successor Master Servicer payments that are due under the Receivables after the effective date of such transfer.
 
54

 
(b)  Except as provided in Section 7.02, after a transfer of servicing hereunder, the outgoing Master Servicer shall have no further obligations with respect to the administration, servicing, custody or collection of the Receivables and the Successor Master Servicer shall have all of such obligations, except that the outgoing Master Servicer will transmit or cause to be transmitted directly to the Successor Master Servicer for its own account, promptly on receipt and in the same form in which received, any amounts or items held by the outgoing Master Servicer (properly endorsed where required for the Successor Master Servicer to collect any such items) received as payments upon or otherwise in connection with the Receivables.
 
(c)  Any Successor Master Servicer shall provide the Depositor with access to the Receivable Files and to the Successor Master Servicer’s records (whether written or automated) with respect to the Receivable Files.  Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Successor Master Servicer.  Nothing in this Section shall affect the obligation of a Successor Master Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors, and the failure of the Master Servicer to provide access to information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section.
 
(d)  Any transfer of servicing hereunder shall not constitute an assumption by the related Successor Master Servicer of any liability of the related outgoing Master Servicer arising out of any breach by such outgoing Master Servicer of such outgoing Master Servicer’s duties hereunder prior to such transfer of servicing.
 
Section 7.04.  Notification to Noteholders, Swap Counterparty, Certificateholders and Rating Agencies.  Upon any notice of a Servicer Termination Event or upon any termination of, or any appointment of a successor to, the Master Servicer pursuant to this Article, the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Noteholders and the Swap Counterparty and the Owner Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Certificateholders and to the Rating Agencies.
 
Section 7.05.  Waiver of Past Servicer Termination Events.  The Noteholders evidencing not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class may, on behalf of all Noteholders, waive any Servicer Termination Event and its consequences, except an event resulting from the failure to make any required deposits to or payments from the Collection Account, the Note Payment Account, the Certificate Payment Account or the Reserve Fund in accordance with this Agreement.  Upon any such waiver of a Servicer Termination Event, such event shall cease to exist, and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement.  No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other event or impair any right arising therefrom, except to the extent expressly so waived.
 
Section 7.06.  Repayment of Advances.  If the identity of the Master Servicer shall change, the outgoing Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive reimbursement for outstanding and unreimbursed Advances made pursuant to Section 4.07 by the outgoing Master Servicer.

(b)  As a condition to the utilization of any Subcontractor determined to be a Reporting Subcontractor, the Indenture Trustee shall cause any such Subcontractor for the benefit of the Depositor to comply with the provisions of Sections 9.05 and 9.06 to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were the Indenture Trustee.  The Indenture Trustee shall be responsible for obtaining from each Subcontractor and delivering to the Depositor, any assessment of compliance and attestation required to be delivered by such Subcontractor under Section 9.05 and Section 9.06, in each case as and when required to be delivered.

(x)  No Amendments.  No Receivable shall have been amended or modified in such a manner that the total number of Monthly Payments has been increased or decreased or that the related Amount Financed has been increased or decreased or that such Receivable fails to meet all of the other representations and warranties made by the Seller herein with respect thereto.
 
(xi)  No Defenses.  No Receivable is subject to any right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and the operation of any of the terms of any Receivable, or the exercise of any right thereunder, will not render such Receivable unenforceable in whole or in part or subject to any right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and the Seller has not received written notice of the assertion with respect to any Receivable of any such right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense.
 
(xii)  No Liens.  No Liens or claims shall have been filed, including Liens for work, labor or materials or for unpaid local, State or federal taxes relating to any Financed Vehicle that shall be prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the security interest in such Financed Vehicle granted by the related Receivable.
 
A-2

 
(xiii)  No Defaults; Repossessions.  Except for payment defaults that, as of the Cutoff Date, have been continuing for a period of not more than 30 days, no default, breach or violation under the terms of any Receivable, permitting acceleration, shall have occurred as of the Cutoff Date and no continuing condition that with notice or the lapse of time or both would constitute a default, breach or violation under the terms of any Receivable, permitting acceleration, shall have arisen; and the Seller shall not have waived any of the foregoing except as otherwise permitted hereunder.  On or prior to the Cutoff Date, no Financed Vehicle has been repossessed.
 
(xiv)  Insurance.  Each Receivable requires the related Obligor to obtain physical damage insurance covering the related Financed Vehicle and to maintain such insurance.
 
(xv)  Title.  It is the intention of the Seller that the transfers and assignments herein contemplated constitute a sale of the Receivables from the Seller to the Purchaser and that the beneficial interest in and title to the Receivables not be part of the debtor’s estate in the event of the appointment of a receiver or conservator for the Seller under any receivership, bankruptcy law, insolvency or banking law; no Receivable has been sold, transferred, assigned or pledged by the Seller to any Person other than the Purchaser, and no provision of a Receivable shall have been waived, except as provided in clause (ix) above; immediately prior to the transfer and assignment herein contemplated, the Seller had good and marketable title to each Receivable free and clear of all Liens and rights of others, except for Liens that shall be released on or before the Closing Date; immediately upon the transfer and assignment thereof, the Purchaser shall have good and marketable title to each Receivable, free and clear of all Liens and rights of others; and the transfer and assignment herein contemplated has been perfected under the UCC.
 
(xvi)  Security Interest Matters.  This Agreement creates a valid and continuing “security interest” (as defined in the UCC) in the Receivables in favor of the Depositor, which security interest is prior to all other Liens and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Seller.  With respect to each Receivable, the Seller has taken all steps necessary to perfect its security interest against the related Obligor in the related Financed Vehicle.  The Receivables constitute “tangible chattel paper” (as defined in the UCC).  The Seller has caused or will cause prior to the Closing Date the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing offices in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law necessary to perfect the security interest in the Receivables granted to the Depositor under the Receivables Purchase Agreement.  Other than the security interest granted to the Depositor under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Seller has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in or otherwise conveyed any of the Receivables.  The Seller has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Seller that include a description of collateral covering the Receivables other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Depositor under the Receivables Purchase Agreement or that has been terminated.  The motor vehicle retail installment sale contracts and installment loans that constitute or evidence the Receivables do not have any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Depositor, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee.  The Seller is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Seller.
 
A-3

 
(xvii)  Financing Statements.  All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Seller in favor of the Issuer (as assignee of the Depositor) contain a statement substantially to the following effect: “A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Issuer”.  All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Seller in favor of the Indenture Trustee (as assignee of the Issuer) contain a statement substantially to the following effect: “A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Indenture Trustee”.
 
(xviii)  Lawful Assignment.  No Receivable has been originated in, or is subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction under which the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of such Receivable under this Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the pledge of such Receivables hereunder, thereunder or under the Indenture is unlawful, void or voidable or under which such Receivable would be rendered void or voidable as a result of any such sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance or pledge.  The Seller has not entered into any agreement with any account debtor that prohibits, restricts or conditions the assignment of the Receivables.
 
(xix)  All Filings Made.  All filings (including UCC filings) necessary in any jurisdiction to give the Purchaser, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee a first priority security interest in the Receivables shall have been made or will be made on the Closing Date.
 
(xx)  One Original.  There shall be only one original executed copy of each Receivable.
 
(xxi)  Location of Receivable Files.  Each Receivable File shall be kept at one of the locations listed in Schedule A.
 
(xxii)  Custodial Agreements.  Immediately prior to the transfer of the Receivables by the Seller to the Purchaser, the Purchaser, an Affiliate of the Purchaser or an agent on behalf of the Purchaser had possession of the Receivable Files and there were no, and there will not be, any custodial agreements in effect affecting the right or ability of the Purchaser to make, or cause to be made, any delivery required under this Agreement.

(xxv)  New and Used Vehicles.  As of the Cutoff Date, approximately 28.07% of the Pool Balance was secured by new Financed Vehicles and approximately 71.93% of the Pool Balance was secured by used Financed Vehicles.
 
(xxvi)  Original Term to Maturity.  Each Receivable had an original term to maturity of not more than 84 months and not less than 12 months and a remaining term to maturity as of the Cutoff Date, of not more than 84 months and not less than three months.
 
(xxvii)  Weighted Average Remaining Term to Maturity.  As of the Cutoff Date, the weighted average remaining term to maturity of the Receivables owned by the Seller was approximately 59.27 months.
 
A-4

 
(xxviii)  Annual Percentage Rate.  Each Receivable has a Contract Rate of at least 4.00% and not more than 30.00% and the weighted average Contract Rate of the Receivables as of the Cutoff Date was approximately 12.36%.
 
(xxix)  Simple Interest Method.  All payments with respect to the Receivables have been allocated consistently in accordance with the Simple Interest Method.
 
(xxx)  Marking Records.  As of the Closing Date, the Seller will have caused its computer and accounting records relating to each Receivable to be marked to show that the Receivables have been sold to the Purchaser by the Seller and transferred and assigned by the Purchaser to the Issuer in accordance with the terms of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and pledged by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
 
(xxxi)  Chattel Paper.  Each Receivable constitutes “tangible chattel paper” within the meaning of the UCC as in effect in the State of origination.
 
(xxxii)  Final Scheduled Distribution Date.  No Receivable has a final scheduled payment date later than six months prior to the Class E Final Scheduled Distribution Date.
 
(xxxiii)  No Fleet Sales.  None of the Receivables have been included in a “fleet” sale (i.e., a sale to any single Obligor of more than seven Financed Vehicles).
 
(xxxiv)  No Fraud or Misrepresentation.  Each Receivable that was originated by a Dealer and was sold by the Dealer to the Seller, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, was so originated and sold without fraud or misrepresentation on the part of such Dealer in either case.
 
(xxxv)  No Impairment.  The Seller has not done anything to convey any right to any Person that would result in such Person having a right to payments due under a Receivable or otherwise to impair the rights of the Depositor in any Receivable or the proceeds thereof.
 
(xxxvi)  Servicing.  Each Receivable has been serviced in conformity with all applicable laws, rules and regulation and in conformity with the Seller’s policies and procedures which are consistent with customary, prudent industry standards.
 
(xxxvii)  No Consent.  To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, no notice to or consent from any Obligor is necessary to effect the acquisition of the Receivables by the Purchaser or the Issuer or the pledge of the Receivables by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee.
 
(xxxviii)  FICO Score.  The weighted average FICO score of the Receivables as of the Cutoff Date (based on the FICO score recorded at the respective dates of origination of such Receivables) was approximately 639.
