(b) In connection with any reduction of the Facility Amount, the Borrower shall remit to the Administrative Agent, (i) instructions regarding such reduction (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and (ii) for payment to each Lender, cash in an amount sufficient to pay the Aggregate Unpaids with respect to such reduction, including any associated Breakage Costs; provided, however, that no such reduction shall be given effect unless the Borrower has complied with the terms of any Hedging Agreement requiring that any Hedge Transaction related thereto be terminated in whole or in part as a result of any such reduction in the Loans Outstanding and the Borrower has paid all Hedge Breakage Costs due to the relevant Hedge Counterparty for any such termination.

Upon receipt of any such request, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Committed Lender. On or before the last day of the Election Period, each Committed Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent of its willingness or refusal to so extend its Commitment Termination Date, provided that the failure of any Committed Lender to timely respond shall be deemed to be its refusal to so extend, and the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of such willingness or refusal by the Committed Lenders not later than the Business Day following the last day of the Election Period. If (i) one or more Committed Lenders have agreed to extend the Commitment Termination Date and (ii) at the end of the applicable Election Period, no Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Commitment Termination Date then in effect for each such Committed Lender shall be extended to the date which is 180 days following the last day of the Election Period or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next preceding Business Day (or any other date as agreed upon by the Borrower and each Committed Lender); provided, that if not all Committed Lenders, the Borrower may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent, delivered not later than five Business Days after the end of the Election Period, not to have such extension become effective.

Each Dissenting Lender hereby agrees to assign all or a portion of its Commitment and the amounts payable to it hereunder to a replacement Lender identified by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the preceding sentence, subject to ratable payment of such Dissenting Lender’s Invested Percentage of the Loans Outstanding, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and a ratable portion of all fees and other amounts due to it hereunder.

(c) Within five Business Days following the end of an Election Period, to the extent not acquired pursuant to Section 2.04(b), each Lender that is not a Dissenting Lender shall acquire a pro rata portion of all of the Loans Outstanding owned by the Dissenting Lender. Each Dissenting Lender hereby agrees to assign such Loans Outstanding and the amounts payable to it hereunder to such Lender, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and a ratable portion of all fees and other amounts due to it hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a Committed Lender be required on any date to purchase a portion of the Loans Outstanding that would cause its Invested Percentage of the Loans Outstanding determined after giving effect to such purchase, to exceed its Commitment.

(d) Prior to the occurrence of a Termination Event, if a Partial Expiration Event has occurred, the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Borrower and the Servicer to apply any Collections in accordance with Section 2.08(vi)(B), to the pro rata repayment of such amounts owing to any Non-Extending Lender as of the date of the related Partial Expiration Event, commencing no later than the first Payment Date which is at least two Business Days following the Commitment Termination Date for the Non-Extending Lender, specifying the amounts thereof.

Each Note shall be dated the Closing Date and shall otherwise be duly completed. The maturity date of each Note shall be the Final Maturity Date or such later date as to which the Administrative Agent, with the consent of each Lender, shall notify the Borrower in writing.

(b) The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to enter notations (which may be computer generated) on a schedule attached to the Note with respect to each Lender Advance made by each Lender hereunder, regarding (i) the date and Principal Amount thereof and (ii) each payment and repayment of principal thereof and any such recordation shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded. The failure of the Administrative Agent to make any such notation on the schedule attached to the Note shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their respective terms as set forth herein.

(c) Promptly following the Facility Termination Date, the Administrative Agent shall mark each Note “Paid” and return it to the Borrower.

The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes.

(f) Each determination of the Interest Rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Lenders and the Borrower in the absence of manifest error.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the other Basic Documents, if at any time the rate of interest payable by any Person under the Basic Documents exceeds the Maximum Lawful Rate, then, so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be exceeded, such rate of interest shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate. If at any time thereafter the rate of interest so payable is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, such Person shall continue to pay Interest at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received

44

 


 

from such Person is equal to the total Interest that would have been received had Applicable Law not limited the interest rate so payable. In no event shall the total Interest received by a Lender under this Agreement and the other Basic Documents exceed the amount which such Lender could lawfully have received, had the Interest due been calculated from the Closing Date at the Maximum Lawful Rate.

(a) If either (i) the introduction of or any change (including any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation of any Applicable Law or (ii) the compliance by a Lender or any of its Affiliates (each, an “Affected Party”) with any guideline or request from any Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall (A) subject an Affected Party to any Tax (except for Excluded Taxes and any Indemnified Taxes), duty or other charge with respect to a Loan hereunder, or on any payment made hereunder, (B) impose any cost pursuant to Section 2.13(f), (C) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve requirement (including any reserve requirement imposed by the Federal Reserve Board, but excluding any reserve requirement, if any, included in the determination of Interest), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the amount of, or credit extended by, any Affected Party or (D) impose any other condition affecting a Loan or an Affected Party’s rights hereunder, then within 30 days after demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand), the Borrower shall pay directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such additional or increased cost incurred or such reduction suffered.

(b) If either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request (including the Dodd-Frank Act, Basel II or Basel III) or (ii) compliance by any Affected Party with any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), including compliance by an Affected Party with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (including the Dodd-Frank Act, Basel II or Basel III), then from time to time, within 30 days after demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand), the Borrower shall pay directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such reduction.

49

 


 

(c) [Reserved].

(d) In determining any amount provided for in this Section, the Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Any Affected Party making a claim under this Section shall submit to the Borrower a certificate as to such additional or increased cost or reduction, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the benefit of any Affected Party pursuant to this Section as a result of a change of Applicable Law occurring after such Affected Party first became a party to this Agreement, such Affected Party will, at the Borrower’s request, change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if, in the sole judgment of such Affected Party, such change (i) will eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue and (ii) will not, in the judgment of such Affected Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to it or inconsistent with its internal policies.

(f) [Reserved].

(g) If any Owner or Committed Lender has, or anticipates having, any claim for compensation under the FAS 166/167 Rules against the Borrower, and such Owner or Committed Lender believes that having the transactions contemplated by this Agreement publicly rated by a Rating Agency or qualifying under the supervisory formula approach under Basel II or Basel III would reduce the amount of such compensation by an amount deemed by such Owner or Committed Lender to be material, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of such Owner or Committed Lender shall provide a Rating Request to the Borrower and the Servicer. The Borrower and the Servicer shall cooperate with the Administrative Agent’s efforts to obtain the Required Rating from the Rating Agency specified in the Rating Request within 60 days following delivery of any Rating Request, and shall provide directly or through distribution to the Administrative Agent or Owner any information such Rating Agency may require for purposes of providing and monitoring the Required Rating. The Borrower shall pay the initial fees payable to the Rating Agency in connection with a Rating Request, and the Servicer shall pay any subsequent or ongoing fees.

Section 2.14. Taxes

(a) All payments made by the Obligor with respect to any Receivable and by the Borrower in respect of any Loan and all other payments made by the Borrower or the Servicer under this Agreement will be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes, unless such withholding or deduction is required by Applicable Law. In such event, the Borrower shall pay to the appropriate taxing authority any such Taxes. If such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, the Borrower shall increase the amount payable to each Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be (such increase, the “Additional Amount”) such that every net payment made under this Agreement after deduction or withholding for or on account of any Non- Excluded Taxes (including any deduction or withholding for or on account of such Additional Amount) is not less than the amount that would have been paid had no such deduction or withholding been deducted or withheld.

50

 


 

(b) The Borrower will indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on such Additional Amounts) paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority; provided, however, that the Lender or Administrative Agent making a demand for indemnity payment hereunder shall provide the Borrower with a certificate from the relevant taxing authority or from a Responsible Officer of such Lender or the Administrative Agent stating or otherwise evidencing that such Lender or the Administrative Agent has made payment of such Taxes and will provide a copy of or extract from documentation, if available, furnished by such taxing authority evidencing assertion or payment of such Taxes. This indemnification shall be made within 10 days from the date a Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, makes demand therefor.

(c) As soon as practicable and at least within 30 days after the date of any payment by the Borrower of any Taxes pursuant to this Section, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address set forth under its name on the signature pages hereof, appropriate evidence of payment thereof.

(d) If a Lender is a Non-U.S. Lender, such Lender shall, to the extent that it may then do so under Applicable Law, deliver to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Account Bank, (i) on or prior to becoming a Lender under this Agreement, (ii) within 15 days after reasonable written request of the Borrower, and (iii) upon the obsolescence of or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in any form or certificate previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.14(d), a duly completed copy of the applicable IRS Form W-8 (or any successor forms or other certificates or statements which may be required from time to time by the relevant U.S. taxing authorities or Applicable Law), including all required attachments, to permit the Borrower to make payments hereunder for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, without deduction or withholding of U.S. federal income or similar Taxes. Any Non-U.S. Lender that is claiming an exemption from U.S. withholding tax under Code Section 871(h) or 881(c) shall provide, in addition to the documentation required by the preceding sentence, a properly executed certificate representing that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” for purposes of Code Section 881(c), is not a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Code Section 871(h)(3)(B), and is not a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower within the meaning of Code Section 864(d)(4). If a Lender is a “U.S. Person” as defined in Code Section 7701(a)(30), such Lender shall, to the extent that it may do so under Applicable Law, deliver to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, (i) on or prior to becoming a Lender under this Agreement, (ii) within 15 days after reasonable written request of the Borrower, and (iii) upon the obsolescence of or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in any form or certificate previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.14(d) and upon written request of the Borrower, a duly completed copy of the IRS Form W-9 (or any successor forms or other certificates or statements which may be required from time to time by the relevant U.S. taxing authorities or Applicable Law). Upon request from the Account Bank, the Borrower will provide such additional information that it may have to assist the Account Bank in making any withholdings or informational reports, if any.

51

 


 

(e) If a payment made to a Lender in respect of any Loan or under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if the recipient of such payment were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including the requirements of Code Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b), as applicable), such recipient shall deliver to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Account Bank, at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Code Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i)) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA), to the determine that such recipient has complied with such recipient’s obligations under FATCA, or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.14(e), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(f) Within 30 days of the written request of the Borrower therefor, the Administrative Agent and the Lender, as appropriate, shall execute and deliver to the Borrower such certificates, forms or other documents which can be furnished consistent with the facts and which are reasonably necessary to assist the Borrower in applying for refunds of Taxes remitted hereunder; provided, however, that (i) the Administrative Agent and the Lender shall not be required to deliver such certificates, forms or other documents if in their respective sole discretion it is determined that the deliverance of such certificate, form or other document would have a material adverse effect on the Administrative Agent or Lender and (ii) the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent or Lender for any reasonable expenses incurred in the delivery of such certificate, form or other document.

(g) The Borrower has entered in this Agreement, and the Notes will be issued with the intention that, for federal, State and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes, the Notes will qualify as indebtedness of the Borrower, secured by the Collateral. The Borrower, by entering into this Agreement, and the Administrative Agent, by its acceptance of the Notes (and each Lender, or other Person designated by a Lender, by its acceptance of an interest in the applicable Note), agree to treat the Notes for federal, State and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Borrower.

Section 2.15. Securitizations.

(a) On any Business Day, the Borrower shall have the right to prepay all or (subject to clause (iv) below) a portion of the Loans Outstanding and request the Administrative Agent to release its security interest and Lien on the related Receivables (and the related Collateral) in connection with a Securitization, subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i) The Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent, each Hedge Counterparty, the Account Bank, the Backup Servicer and the Custodian at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intent to effect a Securitization and, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the closing of the Securitization, shall provide the Administrative Agent with all information reasonably required by it to produce the related Securitization Release, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I.

52

 


 

(ii) Unless a Securitization is to be effected on a Payment Date (in which case the relevant calculations with respect to such Securitization shall be reflected on the applicable Monthly Report), the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Securitization Date Certificate and the Servicer shall deliver an updated data tape, together with evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent that the Borrower shall have sufficient funds on the related Securitization Date to effect such Securitization in accordance with this Agreement, which funds may come from the proceeds of sales of the Receivables in connection with such Securitization (which sales must be made in arm’s-length transactions).

(iii) On the related Securitization Date, the following shall be true and correct and the Borrower shall be deemed to have certified that, after giving effect to the Securitization and the release to the Borrower of the related Receivables (and the other related Collateral) on the related Securitization Date, (A) no adverse selection procedure shall have been used by the Borrower with respect to the Receivables that will remain subject to this Agreement after giving effect to the Securitization (except as is necessary to comply with normal and customary eligibility criteria for asset-backed securities transactions involving retail auto loan receivables similar to the Receivables), (B) the representations and warranties contained in Sections 5.01 and 5.02 are true and correct in all material respects, except to the extent relating to an earlier date, and (C) no Unmatured Termination Event, Termination Event, Servicer Termination Event or Unmatured Servicer Termination Event, has occurred or results from such Securitization.

(iv) On the related Securitization Date, the Administrative Agent shall have received, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in immediately available funds, (A) an amount equal to all unpaid Interest (including Interest not yet accrued) to the extent reasonably estimated by the Administrative Agent to be attributable to that portion of the aggregate Loans Outstanding to be paid in connection with the Securitization, (B) an aggregate amount equal to the sum of all other amounts due and owing to the Administrative Agent, the Owner Trustee, the Lenders and the Hedge Counterparties, as applicable, under this Agreement and the other Basic Documents, to the extent accrued to such date and to accrue thereafter (including any Breakage Costs and Hedge Breakage Costs) and (C) all other Aggregate Unpaids then due and payable with respect thereto. The amount paid pursuant to (1) clause (A) shall be deposited in the Collection Account to be applied as Available Funds pursuant to Section 2.08 on the next Payment Date (or on such Payment Date, if the Securitization Date is on a Payment Date) and (2) clauses (B) and (C) shall be paid to the Persons to whom such amounts are to be owed on such Securitization Date. In the event that the Administrative Agent subsequently determines that the actual accrued and unpaid Interest attributable to that portion of the aggregate Loans Outstanding paid in connection with the Securitization is in excess of the amount of accrued and unpaid Interest estimated pursuant to the foregoing clause (A), the Borrower will remit or cause to be remitted the amount of such excess to the Administrative Agent promptly upon request.

(v) On the related Securitization Date, the Servicer shall have received, in immediately available funds, all amounts due and payable by the Borrower to the Servicer under this Agreement.

53

(c) In connection with any Securitization, on the related Securitization Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions referred to in this Section, the Administrative Agent shall, at the expense of the Borrower, (i) execute such instruments of release with respect to the portion of the Receivables (and the other related Collateral) to be released to the Borrower, including a Securitization Release, in favor of the Borrower as the Borrower may reasonably request, (ii) deliver or cause to be delivered any portion of the Receivables (and the other related Collateral) to be released to the Borrower to the Borrower and (iii) otherwise take such actions, and cause or permit the Servicer to take such actions, as are necessary and appropriate to release the Lien of the Administrative Agent on the portion of the Receivables (and the other related Collateral) to be released to the Borrower and deliver to the Borrower such Receivables and related Collateral.

Section 2.16. Sharing of Payments, Etc.

If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Notes owned by it any payment in excess of its Invested Percentage in such payment, such Lender shall immediately (i) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (ii) purchase from the other Lenders such participations made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment pro rata (based on the Lender Percentage of each Lender) with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (b) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender was the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section.

All such amounts shall be payable in accordance with Section 2.08. The provisions of this Section shall survive the resignation or removal of any party and the termination or assignment of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Basic Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Administrative Agent may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement upon satisfaction of the notice requirements in Section 2.18(c) below. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.18(a) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(b) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Basic Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Basic Document; provided, however, that any such amendments must not affect the Owner Trustee’s, the Backup Servicer’s or the Account Bank’s rights, indemnities or obligations without its consent.

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (iii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.18(d) and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.18, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any

Each Lender shall be deemed to waive and release any and all claims against the Owner Trustee, the Account Bank and the Backup Servicer relating to any such determination, decision or election by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower.

(d) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Basic Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (ISOCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (ISOCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(e) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower Representative’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower Representative may revoke any request for a Loan of, conversion to or continuation of any Loan to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower Representative will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Alternate Base Rate Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period, the component of Alternate Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Alternate Base Rate.

ARTICLE Three

SECURITY

Section 3.01. Collateral and Back-Up Collateral

(a) The parties hereto intend that this Agreement constitute a security agreement and the transactions effected hereby constitute secured loans by the Lenders to the Borrower under Applicable Law. As collateral security for the prompt, complete and indefeasible payment and performance in full when due, whether by lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise, of the Obligations, the Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, a lien on and security interest in all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under the following, whether now existing or owned or hereafter arising or acquired by the Borrower (collectively, the “Collateral”):

(i) the Receivables and the related Contracts (including the right to service the Receivables in connection therewith) listed on the Schedule of Receivables, whether now existing or hereafter acquired, and any accounts or obligations evidenced thereby, any guarantee thereof, all Collections and all monies due (including any payments made under any guarantee or similar credit enhancement with respect to any such Receivables) or to become due or received by any Person in payment of any of the foregoing on or after the related Cutoff Date;

(ii) the Financed Vehicles related to such Receivables (including Financed Vehicles that have been repossessed) or in any document or writing evidencing any security interest in any Financed Vehicle and each security interest in each Financed Vehicle, whether now existing or hereafter acquired, securing each such Receivable, including all proceeds from any sale or other disposition of such Financed Vehicles;

(iii) [***]; and

(iv) all income, products, accessions and proceeds of the foregoing.

(b) The grant under this Section does not constitute and is not intended to result in a creation or an assumption by the Administrative Agent or any of the Secured Parties of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Person in connection with any or all of the Collateral or under any agreement or instrument relating thereto. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Borrower shall remain liable under the Contracts related to the Receivables to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (ii) the exercise by the Administrative Agent of any of its rights in the Collateral shall not release the Borrower from any of its duties or obligations under the Collateral and (iii) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligations or liability under the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Borrower thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

61

 


 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing grant of security interest, no account, instrument, chattel paper or other obligation or property of any kind due from, owned by or belonging to a Sanctioned Person shall be Collateral.

(d) Each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent represents and warrants as to itself that each remittance of Collections by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under this Agreement will have been (i) in payment of a debt incurred by the Borrower in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or any Lender and (ii) made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

Section 3.02. Release of Collateral; No Legal Title

(a) At the same time as any Contract relating to a Receivable (i) expires by its terms and all amounts in respect thereof have been paid by the related Obligor and deposited in the Local Bank Account or the Collection Account or (ii) has been prepaid in full and all amounts in respect thereof have been paid by the related Obligor and deposited in the Local Bank Account and subsequently deposited into the Collection Account, the Administrative Agent will, to the extent requested by the Servicer, promptly release its interest and lien in such Contract and the related Collateral. In connection with any sale of the related Financed Vehicle on or after the occurrence of an event described in clauses (i) or (ii) above, after the deposit by the Servicer of the proceeds of such sale into the Local Bank Account and subsequent deposit within two Business Days thereafter into the Collection Account, the Administrative Agent will, at the sole expense of the Servicer, promptly execute and deliver to the Servicer any assignments, bills of sale, termination statements and any other releases and instruments as the Servicer may reasonably request in order to effect the release and transfer of such Financed Vehicle; provided, that the Administrative Agent will not make any representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to any such Financed Vehicle in connection with such sale or transfer and assignment. Nothing in this Section shall diminish the Servicer’s obligations pursuant to Sections 7.03(c) and 7.03(d) with respect to the proceeds of any such sale.

(b) Upon (i) reallocation of the Receivables and related Collateral in connection with a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.06 or a Securitization pursuant to Section 2.15 or (ii) the Facility Termination Date, the Administrative Agent shall, at the Borrower’s expense, upon payment in full of the related Aggregate Unpaids then due and payable, promptly (A) execute and file instruments of release, partial or full assignments of financing statements and other documents and instruments as the Borrower or the Servicer may reasonably request with respect to the portion of the Receivables (and the other related Collateral) to be released to the Borrower, (B) deliver any portion of the Receivables (and the other related Collateral) to be released to the Borrower in its possession to the Borrower and (C) otherwise take such actions, and cause or permit the Servicer and the Custodian to take such actions, as are necessary and appropriate to release the Lien of the Administrative Agent on the portion of the Receivables (and the other related Collateral) to be released to the Borrower and deliver to the Borrower such Receivables and related Collateral.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the Borrower shall not be permitted to remove any Contract or related Collateral from the lien of this Agreement, (ii) the Borrower shall not be permitted to sell, transfer or assign any Receivable to any party and (iii) the Administrative Agent

62

 


 

shall not release its interest in any Contract or related Collateral except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.02, Section 2.15, or Section 5.04 of this Agreement or unless the Borrower shall have deposited an amount equal to the Release Price with respect to such Receivable into the Collection Account.

(d) The Administrative Agent will not, except as may result from the exercise of its remedies hereunder, have legal title to any part of the Collateral on the Facility Termination Date and will have no further interest in or rights with respect to the Collateral.

Section 3.03. Protection of Security Interest; Administrative Agent, as Attorney-in-Fact

(a) The Borrower agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents, and take all actions, that may reasonably be necessary or desirable, or that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security interest granted to the Administrative Agent in the Receivables and the other Collateral, or to enable any Secured Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder; provided, that prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, Custodian Termination Event or a Termination Event, the Borrower shall not be required to (i) deliver any Receivable Files to any Person other than the Custodian, or (ii) cause any Certificate of Title to be revised to name the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party as Lienholder.

(b) If the Borrower fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder after three Business Days’ notice from any Secured Party, any Secured Party may (but shall not be required to) perform, or cause performance of, such obligation; and the reasonable costs and expenses of such Secured Party incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Borrower as provided in Article Ten. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent and appoints the Administrative Agent, as its attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of the Borrower, (i) to execute or cause to be executed on behalf of the Borrower as debtor and to file financing statements necessary or desirable in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interest of the Secured Parties in the Receivables and the other Collateral, including financing statements that describe the collateral covered thereby as “all assets of the Borrower whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising and wheresoever located” or words of similar effect and (ii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Receivables and the other Collateral, as a financing statement in such offices as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interests of the Secured Parties in the Receivables and the other Collateral. Such financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as the Administrative Agent may determine, in its reasonable discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Administrative Agent herein, including, without limitation, describing such property as “all assets” or “all personal property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.” This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

Section 3.04. Assignment of the Purchase Agreement

The Borrower hereby represents, warrants and confirms to the Administrative Agent that the Borrower has assigned to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder, all of the Borrower’s right and title to and interest in the Purchase Agreement (including each Transfer Agreement). The Borrower confirms that the Administrative Agent shall have the sole right to enforce the Borrower’s rights and remedies under the Purchase Agreement or any Transfer Agreement for the benefit of the Secured Parties, but without any obligation on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties or any of their respective Affiliates, to perform any of the obligations of the Borrower under the Purchase Agreement or any Transfer Agreement. The Borrower further confirms and agrees that such assignment to the Administrative Agent shall terminate upon the Facility Termination Date; provided, however, that the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties pursuant to such assignment with respect to rights and remedies in connection with any indemnities and any breach of any representation, warranty or covenants made by UACC pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, which rights and remedies survive the termination of the Purchase Agreement, shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of such assignment.

Section 3.05. Waiver of Certain Laws

Each of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the Account Bank and the Custodian agrees, to the full extent that it may lawfully so agree, that neither it nor anyone claiming through or under it will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or hereafter in force in any locality where any part of the Collateral may be situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay the enforcement or foreclosure of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of any of the Collateral or any part thereof, or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereof, and each of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the Account Bank and the Custodian for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may be lawful so to do, the benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to have any of the properties or assets constituting the Collateral marshaled upon any such sale, and agrees that the Administrative Agent or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests granted in this Agreement may sell the Collateral as an entirety or in such parcels as the Administrative Agent or such court may determine.

(h) Solvency. The transactions contemplated by the Borrower Basic Documents do not and will not render the Borrower not Solvent.

(m) Security Interest. The Borrower has granted a security interest (as defined in the UCC) to the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, in the Collateral, which is enforceable in accordance with Applicable Law upon execution and delivery of this Agreement. Upon the filing of UCC-1 financing statements naming the Administrative Agent, as secured party and the Borrower as debtor, or upon the Custodian obtaining control, in the case of that portion of the Collateral which constitutes chattel paper, the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, shall have a first priority (except for any Permitted Liens) perfected security interest in the Collateral. All filings (including such UCC filings) as are necessary in any jurisdiction to perfect the interest of the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, in the Collateral have been (or prior to the applicable Loan will be) made.

(n) Reports Accurate. All Monthly Reports (if prepared by the Borrower, or to the extent that information contained therein is supplied by the Borrower, such portion supplied by the Borrower), information, exhibits, financial statements, documents, books, records or reports furnished or to be furnished by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, the Account Bank, the Backup Servicer and any Secured Party in connection with this Agreement are true, complete and correct in all material respects.

The principal place of business and chief executive office of the Borrower and the office where the Borrower keeps all the Records are located at the address of the Borrower referred to in Section 14.02 and has been so for the last four months (or at such other locations as to which the notice and other requirements specified in Section 6.02(f) shall have been satisfied).

(p) Post Office Box; Local Bank Account; Collection Account. The Borrower has not granted any Person dominion or control of (i) any Post Office Box or the Local Bank Account other than in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the Intercreditor Party Supplement or (ii) the Collection Account other than the Administrative Agent. The Local Bank Account is a “deposit account” (under and as defined in the relevant UCC) and the Collection Account is a “securities account” (under and as defined in the relevant UCC). The Administrative Agent has a valid and perfected first priority security interest in the Collection Account. None of the Post Office Boxes, the Local Bank Account nor any interest therein has been pledged or assigned to any party other than in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the Intercreditor Party Supplement. The Collection Account or any interest therein has not been pledged or assigned to any party other than the Administrative Agent.

(s) Value Given. The Borrower shall have given reasonably equivalent value to UACC in consideration for the transfer to the Borrower of the Receivables and the related Collateral under the Purchase Agreement, no such transfer shall have been made for or on account of an antecedent debt owed by UACC to the Borrower and no such transfer is or may be voidable or subject to avoidance under any section of the Bankruptcy Code.

(t) Accounting.

(u) Special Purpose Entity. The Borrower is in compliance with Section 6.02(n).

(v) Bankruptcy Filings. The Trust Agreement provides that the Owner Trustee, prior to consenting to the filing by the Borrower of a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Insolvency Laws, shall consider the interests of all Secured Parties and whether the Borrower is not Solvent. Each of the Borrower and UACC is aware that in light of the circumstances described in the preceding sentence and other relevant facts, the filing of a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code for the purpose of making any Receivable or any other assets of the Borrower available to satisfy claims of the creditors of UACC would not result in making such assets available to satisfy such creditors under the Bankruptcy Code.

(w) Investment Company Act. The Borrower is not an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act and is not required to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act. In reaching this conclusion, the Borrower relied on the exemption from the definition of “investment company” contained in Section 3(c)(5)(A) of the Investment Company Act, although other exclusions or exemptions may apply.

The Servicer agrees that its servicing and collection of the Receivables shall be carried out in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, Applicable Law and customary and usual procedures of institutions which service motor vehicle retail installment sales contracts and, to the extent more exacting, the degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to all comparable motor vehicle receivables that it services for itself or others.

(c) Collection Practices.

90

 


 

(i) The Servicer shall be responsible for collection of payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Contracts related to the Receivables, as and when the same shall become due. The Servicer, in making collection of Receivable payments pursuant to this Agreement, shall be acting as agent for the Secured Parties, and shall be deemed to be holding such funds in trust on behalf of and as agent for the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be empowered to, and shall not, (x) make or attempt to make any change to the Authoritative Copy of any Electronic Contract which constitutes or evidences a Receivable, (y) change or attempt to change the legend or watermark on any Electronic Contract which constitutes or evidences a Receivable or the “Owner of Record” of the Warehouse Vault Partition or (z) except (i) in connection with a Securitization permitted under the terms hereof, (ii) upon payment in full of a Receivable or (iii) as directed by the Borrower with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, cause any Electronic Contract which constitutes or evidences a Receivable to be Exported or otherwise removed from the Warehouse Vault Partition. The Servicer, consistent with the Credit and Collection Policy in effect at the time of acting, shall service, manage, administer and make collections on the Receivables on behalf of the Borrower and shall have full power and authority to do any and all things which it may deem necessary or desirable in connection therewith which are consistent with this Agreement. The Servicer may in its discretion grant extensions, rebates or adjustments on a Contract as permitted by the Credit and Collection Policy then in effect, and amend or modify any Contract but [***]. The Servicer may in its discretion waive any late payment charge or any other fees, not including interest on the Principal Balance, that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing a Receivable. The Servicer shall also enforce all rights of the Borrower under the Purchase Agreement (including each Transfer Agreement) including the right to require UACC to repurchase Receivables for breaches of representations and warranties made by UACC in the Purchase Agreement. Receivables in respect of which the Servicer has breached the foregoing provisions shall be repurchased by the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.04(c).

(ii) Consistent with the Credit and Collection Policy, if at least [***]% of a Scheduled Payment due under a Receivable is not received by the end of the day on its due date, the Servicer will make reasonable and customary efforts to contact the Obligor. The Servicer shall continue its efforts to obtain payment from such Obligor who has not paid at least [***]% of a Scheduled Payment until the related Financed Vehicle has been repossessed and sold or the Servicer has determined that all amounts collectable on the Receivable have been collected. The Servicer shall use its best efforts, consistent with the Credit and Collection Policy, to collect funds on a Defaulted Receivable and by the close of business on the second Business Day following receipt of such Collections and deposit thereof into the Local Bank Account, such Collections shall be deposited into the Collection Account.

(iii) In the event a Receivable becomes a Defaulted Receivable, the Servicer, itself or through the use of independent contractors or agents shall, consistent with the Credit and Collection Policy, repossess or otherwise convert the ownership of the Financed Vehicle securing any such Receivable as to which the Servicer shall have determined eventual payment in full is unlikely. All costs and expenses incurred by the Servicer in connection with the repossession of the Financed Vehicles securing such Receivables shall

91

 


 

be reimbursed to the Servicer (other than overhead), to the extent not previously recouped by the Servicer from Recoveries on the Payment Date immediately succeeding the Collection Period in which the Servicer delivered to the Administrative Agent an itemized statement of such costs and expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing and consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be obligated to repossess or take any action with respect to a Defaulted Receivable if, in its reasonable judgment consistent with the Credit and Collection Policy, the Recoveries would not be increased.

(iv) The Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited by electronic funds transfer all Collections to the Collection Account no later than two Business Days after deposit into the Local Bank Account or otherwise.

(d) Collection; Recourse; Sales of Financed Vehicles. The Servicer, itself or through the use of independent contractors or agents, shall follow practices consistent with the Credit and Collection Policy, in its servicing of automotive receivables, which may include reasonable efforts to realize rights of recourse against any Dealer, selling a Financed Vehicle, or requesting a Subservicer to sell a Financed Vehicle, at public or private sale; provided, however, that the Servicer, itself or through the use of independent contractor or agents shall, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, maximize the sales proceeds for each repossessed Financed Vehicle. The foregoing shall be subject to the provision that, in any case in which a Financed Vehicle shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not expend funds for the repair or the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless the Servicer shall determine in its discretion that such repair or repossession would increase the Recoveries in an amount greater than the cost of repairs.

(e) Subservicers. The Servicer may delegate in the ordinary course of business any or all of its duties and obligations hereunder to one or more Subservicers; provided, however, that the Servicer shall at all times remain responsible for the performance of such duties and obligations.

(f) Insurance. The Servicer shall:

(i) on behalf of the Borrower, administer and enforce all rights and responsibilities of the Borrower, as owner of the Receivables, provided for in the Insurance Policies relating to the Receivables;

(ii) in accordance with customary servicing procedures and the Credit and Collection Policy, require that each Obligor shall have obtained physical damage insurance covering the Financed Vehicle as of the date of execution of the Contract;

(iii) administer the filings of claims under the Insurance Policies by filing the appropriate notices related to claims, including initial notices of loss, as well as claims with the respective carriers or their authorized agents all in accordance with the terms of the Insurance Policies; and use reasonable efforts to file such claims on a timely basis after obtaining knowledge of the events giving rise to such claims; and

(iv) utilize such notices, claim forms and claim procedures as are required by the respective insurance carriers.

92

 


 

In the case of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the terms of any Insurance Policy, the Servicer shall comply with the latter.

(g) Obligation to Restore. In the event of any physical loss or damage to a Financed Vehicle related to a Receivable from any cause, whether through accidental means or otherwise, the Servicer shall have no obligation to cause the affected Financed Vehicle to be restored or repaired. However, the Servicer shall comply with the provisions of any insurance policy or policies directly or indirectly related to any physical loss or damage to a Financed Vehicle.

(h) Fidelity Bond. The Servicer represents, warrants and covenants that it has obtained and shall continue to maintain in full force and effect a fidelity bond in such form and amount as is customary for prudent servicers acting as custodian of funds and documents in respect of consumer contracts similar to the Receivables on behalf of institutional investors.

(i) Security Interests. The Borrower hereby directs the Servicer to take or cause to be taken such steps as are necessary, to maintain perfection of the security interest created by each such Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle. The Servicer shall, at the direction of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Custodian, take any action necessary to preserve and protect the security interests of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties and the Custodian in the Receivables, including any action specified in any Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Servicer.

(j) Realization on Financed Vehicles. The Servicer warrants, represents and covenants that in the event that the Servicer realizes upon any Financed Vehicle, the methods utilized by the Servicer to realize upon such Receivable or otherwise enforce any provisions of such Receivable, will not subject the Servicer, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Backup Servicer, the Account Bank or the Custodian to liability under any federal, State or local law, and that such enforcement by the Servicer will be conducted in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Credit and Collection Policy and Applicable Law.

(k) Recordkeeping. The Servicer shall:

(i) maintain legible copies (in electronic or hard-copy form, in the discretion of the Servicer) or originals of all documents in its Servicer File with respect to each Receivable and the Financed Vehicle related thereto; and

(ii) keep books and records, satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, pertaining to each Receivable and shall make periodic reports in accordance with this Agreement; such records may not be destroyed or otherwise disposed of except as provided herein and as allowed by Applicable Law, all documents, whether developed or originated by the Servicer or not, reasonably required to document or to properly administer any Receivable shall remain at all times the property of the Borrower and shall be held in trust by the Servicer; the Servicer shall not acquire any property rights with respect to such records, and shall not have the right to possession of them except as subject to the conditions stated in this Agreement; and the Servicer shall bear the entire cost of restoration in the event any Servicer File shall become damaged, lost or destroyed while in the Servicer’s possession or control.

93

 


 

Section 7.04. Collection of Payments

(a) Payments to the Post Office Boxes. On or before the Closing Date with respect to the Existing Receivables, and on or before the relevant Funding Date with respect to the Subsequent Receivables, the Servicer shall have instructed all related Obligors to make all payments in respect of the related Receivables directly to the Post Office Boxes, and all such payments will be deposited into the Collection Account within two Business Days of receipt.

(b) Establishment of the Collection Account, Reserve Account and the Local Bank Account. The Servicer shall cause to be established, on or before the Closing Date, and maintain in the name of the Borrower, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, with a Qualified Institution which shall initially be the Account Bank, (i) the Collection Account and (ii) the Reserve Account, in each case over which the Administrative Agent shall have sole dominion and control and from which neither UACC nor the Borrower shall have any right of withdrawal, except as otherwise set forth in the Account Control Agreement. The Borrower will be required to pay all reasonable fees and expenses owing to any bank or trust company in connection with the maintenance of the Collection Account and the Reserve Account for its own account and shall not be entitled to any payment therefor. The Servicer shall maintain in its name for the benefit of the Secured Parties the Local Bank Account which shall be under the dominion and control of [***] under, and shall be subject to, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Intercreditor Party Supplement. Promptly after the Payment Date on which the entire Reserve Account Amount is withdrawn from the Reserve Account, the Account Bank shall terminate the Reserve Account.

(c) Adjustments. If the Servicer makes (i) a deposit into the Collection Account in respect of a collection of a Receivable and such collection was received by the Servicer in the form of a check that is not honored for any reason, (ii) a mistake with respect to the amount of any collection and deposits an amount that is less than or more than the actual amount of such collection or (iii) is entitled to reimbursement of any ancillary fees in accordance with Section 7.02, the Servicer shall appropriately adjust the amount subsequently deposited into the Collection Account to reflect such dishonored check, mistake or reimbursement. Any Scheduled Payment in respect of which a dishonored check is received shall be deemed not to have been paid.

Section 7.05. Payment of Certain Expenses by Servicer

Except for such amounts and expenses the Servicer is entitled to reimbursement as provided for herein, the Servicer will be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities under this Agreement, including the fees and disbursements of independent certified public accountants, Taxes imposed on the Servicer, expenses incurred in connection with payments and reports pursuant to this Agreement, fees and expenses of subservicers and agents of the Servicer and all other fees and expenses not expressly stated under this Agreement for the account of the Borrower. The Servicer will be required to pay all reasonable fees and expenses owing to any bank or trust company in connection with the maintenance of the Collection Account and the Reserve Account. The Servicer shall be required to pay such expenses for its own account and shall not be entitled to any payment therefor other than the Servicing Fee.

94

 


 

Section 7.06. Reports

(a) Monthly Reports. On each Reporting Date, the Servicer will provide to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Backup Servicer, the Account Bank and each Hedge Counterparty a Monthly Report

(b) Quarterly Report. The Servicer will provide a Quarterly Report to the Administrative Agent and each Hedge Counterparty, within ten Business Days of receiving a request from the Administrative Agent for such report, which request may be made quarterly, but not more frequently unless required by regulators or to comply with Applicable Law (including Basel II and Basel III).

Section 7.07. Due Diligence

Up to one (1) time each calendar year, beginning with 2022, at such times during normal business hours as are reasonably convenient to the Borrower or the Servicer, as the case may be, at the sole cost and expense of the Servicer (provided that such costs and expenses shall be limited to $[***] per annum unless a Termination Event, Unmatured Termination Event, Unmatured Servicer Termination Event or Servicer Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing) and upon reasonable request of the Administrative Agent and prior written notice to the Borrower or the Servicer, as the case may be, the Borrower or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall permit such Person or Persons as the Administrative Agent may designate to conduct, on behalf of all of them, audits or to visit and inspect any of the properties of the Borrower or the Servicer (including any Subservicer) where the Receivable Files are located, as the case may be, to examine the Receivable Files, internal controls and procedures maintained by the Borrower or Servicer, as the case may be, and take copies and extracts therefrom, and to discuss the affairs of the Borrower and the Servicer (including any Subservicer) with their respective officers and employees (which employees, except after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Termination Event, Unmatured Termination Event, Unmatured Servicer Termination Event or Servicer Termination Event, shall be designated by the Borrower or the Servicer, as the case may be) and, upon written notice to the Borrower or the Servicer, as the case may be, independent accountants; provided, further, that after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Termination Event, Unmatured Termination Event, Unmatured Servicer Termination Event or Servicer Termination Event, the Administrative Agent or its representatives shall be permitted to take the foregoing actions without being subject to any limitation on the number of audits, visits or inspections that may be conducted during a calendar year and such audits, visits or inspections shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Servicer; provided, that the Administrative Agent and its representatives shall make reasonable efforts to coordinate, and provide 30 days’ prior written notice of, such audits, visits and inspections. The Borrower or the Servicer, as the case may be, hereby authorizes such officers, employees and independent accountants (and the Servicer shall cause each Subservicer to authorize such officers, employees and independent accountants) to discuss with the Administrative Agent and its representatives, the affairs of the Borrower or the Servicer, as the case may be. The Servicer shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for all reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties in connection with the foregoing actions promptly upon receipt of a written invoice therefor. Any audit provided for herein shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the Borrower and Servicer respecting safety and security on its premises and without materially disrupting

95

 


 

operations. Nothing in this subsection shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any Applicable Law prohibiting the disclosure of information regarding the Obligors, and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this subsection. In addition to the due diligence reviews specified above, the Backup Servicer may, subject to all terms and conditions specified in this subsection, conduct its own periodic due diligence reviews, at the sole cost and expense of the Servicer (provided that such costs and expenses shall be limited to a maximum of $[***] per visit in the case of any due diligence review done at the request of the Backup Servicer prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Servicer Termination Event or the Termination Date, and thereafter, without such cost and expense cap).

Section 7.08. Annual Statement as to Compliance

The Servicer shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Backup Servicer, on or before April 30th of each year, beginning in 2020, an Officer’s Certificate, dated as of the preceding December 31st, stating that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding 12-month period (or since the Closing Date in the case of the first such Officer’s Certificate) and of its performance under this Agreement has been made under such officer’s supervision and (ii) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year (or such shorter period in the case of the first such Officer’s Certificate), or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that in connection with public or private offerings of automobile receivable-backed securities by UACC or any Affiliate thereof, Regulation AB under the Securities Act requires the delivery by servicers 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 by the Servicer to the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to satisfy the provisions of this subsection.

Section 7.09. Annual Independent Public Accountant’s Reports

To the extent prepared on behalf of the Servicer in connection with the public offering of securities backed by or relating to automobile receivables, the Servicer will deliver to the Administrative Agent, on or before April 30th of each year beginning in 2020, a copy of a report prepared by a firm of independent certified public accountants, who may also render other services to the Servicer or any of its Affiliates, addressed to the Board of Directors of the Servicer or any of its Affiliates, and the Administrative Agent and dated during the current year, to the effect that such firm has examined the Servicer’s policies and procedures and issued its report thereon and expressing a summary of findings (based on certain procedures performed on the documents, records and accounting records that such accountants considered appropriate under the circumstances) relating to the servicing of the Receivables and the administration of the Receivables (including the preparation of the “Monthly Reports) during the preceding calendar year (or such longer period in the case of the first sale report) and that such servicing and administration was conducted in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, except for (i) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial and (ii) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such report and that such examination (a) was performed in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and (b) included tests

96

 


 

relating to auto loans serviced for others in accordance with the requirements of the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, to the extent the procedures in such program are applicable to the servicing obligations set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that in connection with public or private offerings of automobile receivable-backed securities by UACC or any Affiliate thereof, Regulation AB under the Securities Act requires the delivery of an annual attestation of a firm of independent public accountants with respect to the assessment of servicing compliance with specified servicing criteria of the Servicer stating, among other things, that the Servicer’s assertion of compliance with the specified servicing criteria is fairly stated in all material respects, or the reason why such an opinion cannot be expressed, the delivery of a copy of such an attestation to the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to satisfy the provisions of this Section.

In the event such independent certified public accountants require the Custodian, the Account Bank or the Backup Servicer to agree to the procedures to be performed by such firm in any of the reports required to be prepared pursuant to this Section, the Servicer shall direct the Custodian, the Account Bank or the Backup Servicer in writing to so agree; it being understood and agreed that the Custodian, the Account Bank or the Backup Servicer will deliver such letter of agreement in conclusive reliance upon the direction of the Servicer, and the Custodian, the Account Bank and the Backup Servicer have not made any independent inquiry or investigation as to, and shall have no obligation or liability in respect of, the sufficiency, validity or correctness of such procedures.

Such report shall also indicate that the firm is “Independent” of the Servicer and its Affiliates within the meaning of the Code of Professional Ethics of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

Section 7.10. Rights Prior to Assumption of Duties by the Backup Servicer or Designation of Successor Servicer

(a) On or before each Reporting Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Backup Servicer an electronic file containing all information necessary to carry out any servicing obligations under this Agreement, sufficient to allow the Backup Servicer to review the Monthly Report related thereto and determine that such Monthly Report is readable and contains all information necessary for the Backup Servicer to complete its duties. The Backup Servicer shall, within five Business Days of each Reporting Date, load the electronic file received from the Servicer, confirm such computer tape or diskette is in readable form and verify (i) the aggregate Principal Balance of all Receivables as of the most recent Determination Date, (ii) each Concentration Limit and (iii) the Net Principal Balance as set forth in the Monthly Report. The Backup Servicer shall further verify the Borrowing Base, Monthly Principal Payment Amount, Servicing Fees, Account Bank Fee and Backup Servicing Fee (excluding any additional fees), amounts remaining to be distributed to the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.08, the Reserve Account Amount as of the end of the Collection Period, the Annualized Default Ratio, the Annualized Net Loss Ratio, the Collateral Coverage Ratio, the UACC Excess Spread Percentage, the Vroom Excess Spread Percentage, and the Overcollateralization Percentage based solely on a mathematical recalculation of the information contained in the Monthly Report as of the related Reporting Date (calculated as of the related Determination Date, or, with respect to Receivables added to the Collateral following such Determination Date, but prior to the date of such Monthly Report, the related Cutoff Date). In

97

 


 

addition, the Backup Servicer shall verify any other amounts or calculations as may be mutually agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Backup Servicer based solely on a mathematical recalculation of the information contained in the Monthly Report as of the related Reporting Date. In the event of any discrepancy between the information set forth in the three foregoing sentences, as calculated by the Servicer, from that determined or calculated by the Backup Servicer, the Backup Servicer shall promptly notify the Servicer and, if within five days of such notice being provided to the Servicer, the Backup Servicer and the Servicer are unable to resolve such discrepancy, the Backup Servicer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such discrepancy. The Servicer shall cooperate with the Backup Servicer to ensure that the Monthly Report contains sufficient information for the Backup Servicer to perform its duties hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the electronic file or Monthly Report does not contain sufficient information for the Backup Servicer to perform its duties hereunder, the Backup Servicer shall promptly notify the Servicer of any additional information to be delivered by the Servicer to the Backup Servicer, and the Backup Servicer and the Servicer shall mutually agree upon the form thereof; provided, however, that the Backup Servicer shall not be liable for the performance of any action unable to be taken hereunder without such additional information until it is received from the Servicer. In the performance of its duties hereunder, the Backup Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Monthly Report or written notice with respect to the occurrence of any Overcollateralization Increase Event, Termination Date or other event which affects the verification obligations of the Backup Servicer, with no duty to independently verify the information therein or confirm whether any such event has occurred or otherwise make any determination with respect thereto.

(b) The Administrative Agent may request in writing, up to four times per calendar year, that the Servicer use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly deliver to the Backup Servicer the Test Data File, in a format acceptable to the Backup Servicer; provided, that if an Overcollateralization Increase Event shall have occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may make such request at any time. The Backup Servicer and the Servicer will agree upon the file layout and electronic medium to transfer such data to the Backup Servicer. The Backup Servicer shall confirm to the Servicer and the Administrative Agent in writing that the Test Data File is in the correct format or if any changes or modifications are necessary. The Backup Servicer shall confirm in writing to the Servicer and the Administrative Agent that it has received and verified the completeness of the Test Data File within 90 days of receipt of such Test Data File; provided, however, that such confirmation shall not be deemed to apply to the accuracy of the Test Data File data as provided by the Servicer, but shall be deemed only to apply to the accuracy of the conversion of the Test Data Files to the Backup Servicer’s internal systems. The cost of loading the Test Data File will be paid by the Servicer and, to the extent not paid, will be paid in accordance with Section 2.08(ii).

(c) Other than as specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, the Backup Servicer shall have no obligation to supervise, verify, monitor or administer the performance of the Servicer and shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability for any action taken or omitted by the Servicer.

(d) The Backup Servicer shall consult with the Servicer as may be necessary from time to time to perform or carry out the Backup Servicer’s obligations hereunder, including the

98

 


 

obligation, if requested in writing by the Administrative Agent, to succeed to the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant hereto.

(e) [Reserved].

(f) The Backup Servicer shall be indemnified by the Servicer and the Borrower from and against any fee, damage, loss, liability or expense incurred (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and court costs, including, without limitation, those incurred in connection with any enforcement (including any action, claim, or suit brought) by the Backup Servicer of any indemnification or other obligation of Servicer or Borrower) on any matter arising out of this Agreement to the extent the act or omission giving rise to the claim accrues before the date on which the Backup Servicer assumes the duties of Servicer hereunder, except for any claims, damages, losses or expenses arising from the Backup Servicer’s own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Payments in respect of any indemnity by the Borrower shall be paid, to the extent of funds available therefor, in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 2.08. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a successor to the Backup Servicer is appointed hereunder, then the Servicer and the Borrower shall have no obligations to indemnify the successor Backup Servicer except to the extent that the Servicer and the Borrower have consented, in their reasonable discretion, to the selection of the successor Backup Servicer. This indemnification shall survive the resignation or removal of the Backup Servicer, and the termination or assignment of this Agreement.

(g) Any entity into which the Backup Servicer (including in its role as Successor Servicer) may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Backup Servicer shall be a party, or any entity to which substantially all the corporate trust business of the Backup Servicer may be transferred, shall be the Backup Servicer under this Agreement without further act.

Section 7.11. Rights After Assumption of Duties by Backup Servicer or Designation of Successor Servicer; Liability

At any time following the assumption of the duties of the Servicer by a Backup Servicer or the designation of a Successor Servicer pursuant to Section 7.14 as a result of the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event:

(a) The Servicer, on behalf of the Borrower, shall, at the Administrative Agent’s request, (i) assemble all of the records relating to the Collateral, including all Receivable Files, and shall make the same available to the Administrative Agent, the Backup Servicer or any other Successor Servicer at a place selected by the Administrative Agent or, with the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent, by the Backup Servicer or such other Successor Servicer, and (ii) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting collections of Collateral in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent and shall, promptly upon receipt but no later than two Business Days after receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer to, or at the direction of, the Administrative Agent.

99

 


 

(b) The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to take or cause to be taken any and all steps in the Borrower’s name and on behalf of the Borrower necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Administrative Agent, to collect all amounts due under the Collateral, including endorsing the Borrower’s name on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing the Receivables.

(c) The Backup Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the Backup Servicer in such capacity herein. Such liability is limited to only those actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Backup Servicer and caused through its gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. No implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Backup Servicer and, in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Backup Servicer may conclusively rely on the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed in any certificates or opinions furnished to the Backup Servicer and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement.

(d) The Backup Servicer shall not be charged with knowledge of any Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event unless a Responsible Officer of the Backup Servicer obtains actual knowledge of such event or receives written notice of such event from the Borrower, the Servicer or the Administrative Agent.

(e) The Backup Servicer shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risks or liability is not reasonably assured to it in writing prior to the expenditure of such funds or the incurrence of financial liability. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the Backup Servicer, so long as it is not the Successor Servicer, shall not be liable for any obligation of the Servicer contained in this Agreement, and the parties shall look only to the Servicer to perform such obligations.

(f) Except as provided in this Agreement, the Backup Servicer, as successor Servicer, may accept and reasonably rely on all accounting, records and work of the Servicer without audit, and the Backup Servicer, as successor Servicer, shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability for the acts or omissions of the Servicer. If any error, inaccuracy or omission (collectively, “Errors”) exists in any information received from the Servicer, and such Errors should cause or materially contribute to the Backup Servicer, as the successor Servicer, making or continuing any Errors (collectively, “Continued Errors”), the Backup Servicer, as the successor Servicer, shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability for such Continued Errors; provided, however, that the Backup Servicer, as the successor Servicer, agrees to use its best efforts to prevent further Continued Errors. In the event the Backup Servicer, as the successor Servicer, has actual knowledge or has received written notice of Errors or Continued Errors, the Backup Servicer shall, with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent, use its best efforts to reconstruct and reconcile such data as is commercially reasonable to correct such Errors and Continued Errors and prevent future Continued Errors. The Backup Servicer, as the successor Servicer, shall be entitled to recover its costs thereby expended from the Servicer (or, to the extent not paid by the Servicer, in accordance with Section 2.08).

Except as expressly provided herein, neither the Servicer nor any of its directors or officers or employees or agents shall be under any liability to the Secured Parties or any other Person for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such Person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of its willful misconduct hereunder.

Section 7.13. The Servicer Not to Resign

The Servicer shall resign only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or if the Servicer provides an Opinion of Counsel to the Administrative Agent to the effect that such Servicer is no longer permitted by Applicable Law to act as Servicer hereunder. No termination or resignation of the Servicer hereunder shall be effective until a Successor Servicer, acceptable to the Administrative Agent has accepted its appointment as Successor Servicer hereunder and has agreed to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and the Receivable Files shall have been delivered to a successor Custodian.

Section 7.14. Servicer Termination Events

The occurrence and continuance of any one of the following events shall constitute a “Servicer Termination Event” hereunder:

(a) [***].

Upon the occurrence of any of the foregoing, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as any such Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied within any applicable cure period or waived in writing by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent, by written notice to the Servicer (with a copy to each Hedge Counterparty, the Backup Servicer and the Custodian) (each, a “Servicer Termination Notice”), may terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer as Servicer under this Agreement.

Section 7.15. Appointment of Successor Servicer

(a) On and after the receipt by the Servicer of a Servicer Termination Notice, the Servicer shall continue to perform all servicing functions under this Agreement until the date specified in the Servicer Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Administrative Agent in writing or, if no such date is specified in such Servicer Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Administrative Agent, until a date mutually agreed upon by the Servicer, the Backup Servicer and the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, at the time described in the immediately preceding sentence, appoint the Backup Servicer as the Successor Servicer hereunder, and the Backup Servicer shall on such date assume all duties and obligations of the Servicer hereunder, and all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement shall pass to and be vested in the Backup Servicer, except to the extent otherwise set forth herein.

101

 


 

(b) In the event that the Administrative Agent does not so appoint the Backup Servicer to succeed the Servicer as Servicer hereunder or the Backup Servicer is unable to assume such obligations on such date, the Administrative Agent shall as promptly as possible appoint a successor servicer (the “Successor Servicer”), and such Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent. In the event that a Successor Servicer has not accepted its appointment at the time when the Servicer ceases to act as Servicer, the Administrative Agent shall petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established financial institution having a net worth of not less than $[***] and whose regular business includes the servicing of subprime automobile receivables as the Successor Servicer hereunder.

(c) Upon the termination and removal of the Servicer, the predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the Successor Servicer or the Backup Servicer, as applicable, in effecting the termination of the rights and responsibilities of the predecessor Servicer under this Agreement, including the transfer to the Backup Servicer or the Successor Servicer, as applicable, for administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the predecessor Servicer for deposit, or shall thereafter be received, with respect to a Receivable, and the related accounts and records maintained by the Servicer. In the case that the Backup Servicer or any other Successor Servicer shall not agree to perform any duties or obligations of the Servicer hereunder, such duties or obligations may be performed or delegated by the Administrative Agent. The Servicer, if other than UACC, shall as soon as practicable upon demand, deliver to the Borrower all records in its possession which evidence or relate to Indebtedness of an Obligor which is not a Receivable.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall have the same rights of removal and termination for cause with respect to the Backup Servicer or any other Successor Servicer as with respect to UACC as the Servicer.

(e) All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with the transferring of Receivables from the Servicer to the Successor Servicer or the Backup Servicer, as the case may be, converting the Servicer’s data to the computer system of the Successor Servicer or the Backup Servicer, as the case may be, and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as Servicer pursuant to this Section shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer upon presentation of reasonable transition expenses not exceeding $[***] (the “Transition Expenses”). In no event shall the Backup Servicer, if it becomes the Successor Servicer, be responsible for any Transition Expenses. If the predecessor Servicer fails to pay the Transition Expenses, the Transition Expenses shall be payable pursuant to Section 2.08.

(f) Upon its appointment and acceptance, the Backup Servicer (subject to Section 7.15(a)) or the Successor Servicer, as applicable, shall, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, be the successor in all respects to the Servicer with respect to servicing functions under this Agreement and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, and all references in this Agreement to the Servicer shall be deemed to refer to the Backup Servicer or the Successor Servicer, as applicable; provided, however, that any Successor Servicer (including the Backup Servicer) shall have (i) no liability with respect to any obligation which was required to be performed by the predecessor Servicer prior to the date that the successor becomes the Successor Servicer or any

102

 


 

claim based on any alleged action or inaction of the predecessor Servicer, (ii) no obligation to perform any repurchase or advancing obligations, if any, of the Servicer, (iii) no obligation to pay any taxes required to be paid by the Servicer, (iv) no obligation to pay any of the fees and expenses of any other party to this Agreement and (v) no liability or obligation with respect to any Servicer indemnification obligations of any prior Servicer, including UACC. The indemnification obligations of the Backup Servicer, upon becoming a successor Servicer are expressly limited to those instances of gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Backup Servicer in its role as Successor Servicer.

(g) All authority and power granted to the Servicer under this Agreement shall automatically cease and terminate upon termination of this Agreement and shall pass to and be vested in the Borrower and the Borrower is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments, and to do and accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such transfer of servicing rights. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Borrower in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer to conduct servicing of the Receivables.

(h) The Successor Servicer shall act as Servicer hereunder and shall, subject to the availability of sufficient funds in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 2.08(i) (up to the Servicing Fee), receive as compensation therefor the Servicing Fee pursuant to Section 2.12(b).

Section 7.16. Merger or Consolidation, Assumption of Obligations or Resignation of the Servicer

Any Person (a) into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, (b) which may result from any merger or consolidation to which the Servicer may be a party, (c) which may succeed to the properties and assets of the Servicer substantially as a whole or (d) which may succeed to the duties and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement following the resignation of the Servicer, which Person executes an agreement of assumption acceptable to the Administrative Agent to perform every obligation of the Servicer hereunder, shall, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), be the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement without further act on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement; provided, however, that:

(i) prior written notice of such consolidation, merger, succession or resignation shall be delivered by the Servicer to the Administrative Agent and the Custodian;

(ii) immediately after giving effect to such consolidation, merger, succession or resignation, no Servicer Termination Event and no event which after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a Servicer Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing;

(iii) no Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event would occur as result of such consolidation, merger, succession or resignation;

(iv) so long as UACC is the Servicer, the Servicer shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, the Backup Servicer and the Custodian (if other than UACC) an

103

 


 

Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, succession or resignation and such agreement of assumption comply with this Section and that all conditions precedent provided for in this Agreement and the other Servicer Basic Documents relating to such transaction have been complied with; and

(v) so long as UACC is the Servicer, the Servicer shall have delivered to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Backup Servicer and the Custodian (if other than UACC) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that either: (A) in the opinion of such counsel, all financing statements, continuation statements and amendments and notations on Certificates of Title thereto have been executed and filed that are necessary to preserve and protect the interest of the Borrower, the Secured Parties and the Custodian in the Receivables and reciting the details of such filings or (B) no such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interest.

Section 7.17. Responsibilities of the Borrower

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower shall (i) perform or cause the Servicer to perform all of its obligations under the Receivables to the same extent as if a security interest in such Receivables had not been granted hereunder, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent of its rights hereunder shall not relieve the Borrower from such obligations and (ii) pay when due, from funds available to the Borrower under Section 2.08(ix), any Taxes, including any sales taxes payable in connection with the Receivables and their creation and satisfaction. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Receivable, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Borrower thereunder.

Section 7.18. Custody of Receivable Files.

(a) To assure uniform quality in servicing the Receivables and to reduce administrative costs, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, hereby revocably appoints UACC as its agent, and UACC hereby accepts such appointment, to act as Custodian, on behalf of the Secured Parties, of the Receivables and the Receivable Files. The Custodian shall hold and maintain physical possession of all Tangible Contracts and other items of Receivable Files (other than Electronic Contracts) delivered to the Custodian and “control” (within the meaning of Section 9-105 of the UCC) of all Electronic Contracts relating to the Receivables included in the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement or the Basic Documents for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties under the terms of this Agreement, as agent for the Administrative Agent for purposes of perfecting and maintaining the priority of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Receivables. Except for actions expressly authorized by this Agreement, the Custodian shall take no action which would or would be likely to impair the security interests of any Person created or existing in, to or under any Receivable or Financed Vehicle or to impair the value of any Receivable or Financed Vehicle. The Custodian hereby agrees not to assert (in its individual capacity or otherwise) any Liens or claims of any kind with respect to the Receivable Files held or controlled by it or the related Receivables or any other Collateral and hereby releases and waives any such Liens and claims.

104

 


 

(b) On the Closing Date, the Custodian shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, confirming that it has received, on behalf of the Secured Parties, all the documents and instruments necessary for it to act as the agent of the Secured Parties for the purposes set forth in this Section, including the documents referred to herein, and the Secured Parties are hereby authorized to rely on such Officer’s Certificate.

Section 7.19. Duties of Custodian

(a) Safekeeping. UACC, in its capacity as Custodian, shall hold the Receivable Files for the benefit of the Secured Parties and maintain such accurate and complete accounts, records and computer systems pertaining to each Receivable File as shall enable the Servicer and the Borrower to comply with this Agreement; provided, however that UACC may convert a Tangible Contract into a Paper-In Contract so long as such Paper-In Contract is immediately transferred from the Originator Vault Partition to the Warehouse Vault Partition pursuant to the E-Vault System and such transfer has been accepted by the Custodian and confirmed by the Originator within the E-Vault System. In performing its duties, the Custodian shall act with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that it exercises with respect to the files of comparable motor vehicle installment sale contracts and installment loans that it holds for itself or others. The Custodian shall conduct, or cause to be conducted, in accordance with its customary practices and procedures, periodic examinations of the files of all receivables owned or serviced by it which shall include the Receivable Files held by it under this Agreement, and of the related accounts, records and computer systems, in such a manner as shall enable the Administrative Agent or its representatives to verify the accuracy of the Servicer’s record keeping. The Custodian shall promptly report to the Administrative Agent any failure on its part to hold the Receivable Files and to maintain its accounts, records and computer systems as herein provided and promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require an initial review or any periodic review of the Receivable Files by any Secured Party, and no Secured Party shall be liable or responsible for any action or failure to act by the Custodian hereunder.

(b) Maintenance of and Access to Records. The Custodian shall maintain each Receivable File at one of the locations specified in Schedule D or at such other location as shall be specified to the Administrative Agent by 30 days’ prior written notice. The Custodian may temporarily move individual Receivable Files or any portion thereof without notice as necessary to conduct collection and other servicing activities in accordance with its customary practices and procedures. The Custodian shall once per calendar year (commencing with the fourth quarter in 2019) make available to the Secured Parties or their duly authorized representatives, attorneys or auditors a list of locations of the Receivable Files, the Receivable Files and the related accounts, records and computer systems maintained by the Custodian at such times during normal business hours as any Secured Party shall reasonably request; provided, that if a Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event shall have occurred and is continuing, the Custodian shall make such information available at any time as requested by any Secured Party.

(c) Maintenance of Electronic Contracts. The parties agree that an Electronic Contract shall be “communicated” to the Custodian upon the transfer of the Authoritative Copy of such Electronic Contract from the Originator Vault Partition to the Warehouse Vault Partition, acceptance by the Custodian of such Authoritative Copy into the Warehouse Vault Partition and confirmation of such transfer by the Originator, and the Custodian shall thereafter maintain such

105

 


 

Electronic Contract in the Warehouse Vault Partition on behalf of the Administrative Agent for the purpose of establishing control within the meaning of Section 9-105(3) of the UCC over the Contracts which are Electronic Contracts pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Pursuant to the Electronic Collateral Control Agreement, watermarks and legends shall be applied to the Electronic Contracts by the E-Vault Provider upon transfer to the Warehouse Vault Partition, such that (i) a watermark on any perceivable rendering of the Authoritative Copy thereof shall read “Copy of Original,” (ii) a watermark on any copy of such Electronic Contract that is not a copy of the Authoritative Copy thereof shall read “Retention Copy”, “Review Copy” or “Copy Retention of Copy Original,” and (iii) the Required Legend is placed on each perceivable rendering thereof. The Custodian shall maintain each Electronic Contract constituting or evidencing a Receivable in the Warehouse Vault Partition to reflect the name of the Borrower. The Custodian shall not Transfer or Export any Electronic Contract that constitutes or evidences a Receivable except in accordance with the terms hereof and the Electronic Collateral Control Agreement and shall not destroy any Electronic Contract that constitutes or evidences a Receivable.

(d) Maintenance of Possession and Control of Contracts. The Custodian shall carry out such policies and procedures in accordance with its customary actions with respect to the handling, custody and “control” (within the meaning of Section 9-105 of the UCC) of the Contracts so that the integrity and, in the case of the Tangible Contracts, physical possession of such Tangible Contracts, will be maintained. The Custodian shall maintain the Tangible Contracts segregated on its inventory system and shall not commingle the Tangible Contracts with any other files of any other customer of the Custodian.

(e) Standard of Care; Indemnification for Losses. Each Receivable shall be identified on the books and records of the Custodian in a manner that (i) is consistent with the practices of a comparable custodian with respect to similar receivables, and (ii) indicates that the Receivables that are the subject of such records are owned by the Borrower and pledged to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The Custodian hereby waives any and all rights of offset with respect to any and all Contracts in the Custodian’s possession or “control” (within the meaning of Section 9-105 of the UCC), whether such right of offset arises by contract, operation of law or otherwise. The Custodian shall hold the Receivable Files (other than Contracts which are Electronic Contracts) in its secure and fire resistant facilities under its exclusive custody and control in accordance with customary standards for such custody. If any of the Secured Parties suffers or incurs costs, expenses, losses or damages as a result of the destruction or loss of any of the Receivable Files while in the possession of the Custodian, the Custodian shall, (i) at the request of the Administrative Agent, make any appropriate claim under any bond or insurance, and (ii) to the extent of such Secured Party’s costs, expenses, losses or damages, promptly pay the proceeds thereof to such Secured Party unless the Custodian has replaced the lost or destroyed items or has otherwise reimbursed such Secured Party for such losses or damages. The Custodian shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees and agents from and against, any and all loss, liability or expense incurred (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) as a result of the gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct of the Custodian in the performance of its duties hereunder; provided, however, that the Custodian shall not be liable for any portion of any such loss, liability or expense due to the willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence of the Administrative Agent or its officers, directors, employees or agents.

106

 


 

(f) Release of Documents. As soon as practicable after receiving written instructions from the Administrative Agent, the Custodian shall release any document in the Receivable Files to the Administrative Agent or its agent or designee, as the case may be, at such place or places as the Administrative Agent may reasonably designate. The Custodian shall not be responsible for any loss occasioned by the failure of the Administrative Agent to return any document or any delay in so doing.

(g) Title to Receivables. The Custodian 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 Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties. The entire equitable interest in each Receivable and the related Receivable File shall at all times be vested in the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties.

(h) Instructions; Authority to Act. The Custodian 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 Administrative Agent.

(i) Indemnification by Custodian. UACC, in its capacity as Custodian of the Receivable Files, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Secured Parties and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any and all loss, liability or expense that may be imposed on, incurred or asserted against the Secured Parties 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 Custodian; provided, however, that the Custodian shall not be liable for any portion of any such loss, liability or expense resulting from the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of any Secured Party.

(j) Effective Period and Termination. UACC’s appointment as Custodian shall become effective as of the Closing Date and shall continue in full force and effect until the occurrence of a Custodian Termination Event. If a Custodian Termination Event occurs, the appointment of the Custodian hereunder may be terminated by the Administrative Agent. As soon as practicable after any such Custodian Termination Event, the Administrative Agent shall appoint [***] or another entity selected by the Administrative Agent as Custodian and the Custodian shall (i) at its sole cost and expense, deliver, or cause to be delivered, possession and/or “control” (within the meaning of Section 9-105 of the UCC) of the Receivable Files and the related accounts and records maintained by the Custodian to the successor Custodian, or its agent or designee, as the case may be, at such place as the successor Custodian may reasonably designate and (ii) otherwise cooperate with the successor Custodian in effecting the termination of the rights and responsibilities of the predecessor Custodian under this Agreement.

Section 7.20. Certain Duties for Electronic Contracts

(a) The Custodian shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within two (2) Business Days after any Responsible Officer of the Custodian receives notice or obtains actual knowledge of: (i) the intent or threat (expressed in writing) of the E-Vault Provider to terminate, or the termination of, an E-Vault Access Agreement, (ii) receipt of written notice from the E-Vault Provider of any actual or

(c) The Custodian shall appoint only its own personnel (or personnel of its subcontractors) as “Command Center Workspace Users” in respect of the Warehouse Vault Partition and the Electronic Contracts contained therein and shall not otherwise permit any Person to have access to thereto (other than (x) in connection with audits under clause (d) of this Section 7.20 or similar audits provided for under agreements with other parties to an Electronic Collateral Control Agreement and (y) from and after the delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control under (and as defined in) an Electronic Collateral Control Agreement, the Administrative Agent and any Person appointed by the Administrative Agent as a “Command Center Workspace User”).

The parties hereto acknowledge that the Custodian has no liability under an E-Vault Access Agreement and has only the duties and obligations of the Custodian specified hereunder or expressly set forth in the Electronic Collateral Control Agreement.

(a) Upon the automatic occurrence, or the declaration of the occurrence, of the Termination Date in accordance with Section 9.01(b), the following shall immediately occur without further action: (i) the Revolving Period shall terminate and no further Loans will be made and (ii) if the Termination Event giving rise to the Termination Date is a Foreclosure Event, all Available Funds after item (v) of Section 2.08 will be used to reduce the Loans Outstanding and Interest on all Loans Outstanding will increase to the Default Rate.

(b) Upon the automatic occurrence of, or the declaration of the occurrence of, the Termination Date arising from a Foreclosure Event, the Administrative Agent may, or at the direction of the Required Lenders, shall, exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies otherwise available to it, including rights available hereunder and all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (such rights and remedies to be cumulative and nonexclusive), and, in addition, upon direction of the Required Lenders, may, or at the direction of the Required Lenders, shall take the following remedial actions:

(i) The Administrative Agent may, without notice to the Borrower except as required by Applicable Law and at any time or from time to time, charge, set-off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Loans Outstanding, any Interest accrued thereon and or any other amount due and owing to any Secured Party against amounts payable to the Borrower from the Reserve Account, the Collection Account or any part of such accounts in accordance with the priorities required by Section 2.08.

(ii) The Administrative Agent may take any action permitted under the Basic Documents, including exercising any rights available to it under the Intercreditor Agreement.

112

 


 

(iii) The Administrative Agent may (x) direct the Custodian in writing to exercise any rights and remedies available to it under the E-Vault Access Agreement in respect of the Warehouse Vault Partition and the Electronic Contracts therein which constitute or evidence the Receivables, including directing the transfer of such Electronic Contracts to another provider of e-vaulting services or causing such Electronic Contracts to be Exported, and (y) exercise any rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent under the Electronic Collateral Control Agreement.

(iv) Consistent with the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (and except as otherwise required by the UCC), the Administrative Agent may, without notice except as specified below, solicit and accept bids for and sell the Collateral or any part of the Collateral in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at the Administrative Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable. The Borrower agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by Applicable Law, at least ten Business Days’ notice to the Borrower (with a copy to each Secured Party) of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for such sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Every such sale shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever of the Borrower in and to the Collateral so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against the Borrower or any Person claiming the Collateral sold through the Borrower and its successors or assigns.

(v) Upon the completion of any sale under Section 9.02(b)(iv), the Borrower will deliver or cause to be delivered all of the Collateral sold to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale on the date of sale, or within a reasonable time thereafter if it shall be impractical to make immediate delivery, but in any event full title and right of possession to such property shall pass to such purchaser or purchasers forthwith upon the completion of such sale. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Administrative Agent or by any purchaser, the Borrower shall confirm any such sale or transfer by executing and delivering to such purchaser all proper instruments of conveyance and transfer and release as may be designated in any such request.

(vi) At any sale under Section 9.02(b)(iv), UACC or any Secured Party may bid for and purchase the property offered for sale and, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability therefor. Any Secured Party purchasing property at a sale under Section 9.02(b)(iv) may set off the purchase price of such property against amounts owing to such Secured Party in full payment of such purchase price.

(vii) The Administrative Agent may exercise at the Borrower’s sole expense any and all rights and remedies of the Borrower under or in connection with the Collateral,

113

 


 

including directing that Collections be deposited into an account specified by the Administrative Agent.

Section 9.03. Exercise of Remedies

No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent to exercise any right, power or privilege under this Agreement and no course of dealing between the Borrower or the Secured Parties, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, on the other hand, shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies expressly provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Secured Parties would otherwise have pursuant to Applicable Law or equity. No notice to or demand on any party in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances, or constitute a waiver of the right of the other party to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

Section 9.04. Waiver of Certain Laws

The Borrower agrees, to the full extent that it may lawfully so agree, that neither it nor anyone claiming through or under it will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or hereafter in force in any locality where any Collateral may be situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay the enforcement or foreclosure of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of any of the Collateral or any part thereof, or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereof, and the Borrower, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may be lawful so to do, the benefit of all such Applicable Laws, and any and all right to have any of the properties or assets constituting the Collateral marshaled upon any such sale, and agrees that the Administrative Agent or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests granted in this Agreement may sell the Collateral as an entirety or such parcels as the Administrative Agent or such court may determine.

Section 9.05. Power of Attorney

The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent its true and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead and at its expense, in connection with the enforcement of the rights and remedies provided for in this Article, including: (i) exercise all rights and privileges of the Borrower under the Purchase Agreement (including each Transfer Agreement); (ii) pay or discharge any taxes, Liens or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Borrower or the Borrower’s property; (iii) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against the Borrower if the Borrower does not defend such suit, action or proceeding or if the Administrative Agent believes that it is not pursuing such defense in a manner that will maximize the recovery to the Administrative Agent, and settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described above and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate; (iv) file or prosecute any claim, litigation, suit or proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction or before any arbitrator, or take any other action otherwise deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent for

114

 


 

the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due to the Borrower whenever payable and to enforce any other right in respect of the Borrower’s property; (v) sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with, any of the Borrower’s property, and execute, in connection with such sale or action, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer in connection therewith; and (vi) cause the certified public accountants then engaged by the Borrower to prepare and deliver to the Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request, any reports required to be prepared by or on behalf of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Basic Document, all as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner of its property for all purposes, and to do, at the Administrative Agent’s option and the Borrower’s expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and other things that the Administrative Agent reasonably deems necessary to perfect, preserve, or realize upon its property or assets and the Liens of the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties thereon, all as fully and effectively as it might do.

In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof to each Lender. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such event as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such event as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.
