Custody of Receivable Files (a) In connection with the sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement and simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall enter into the Custodian Agreement pursuant to which the Indenture Trustee shall revocably appoint the Custodian, and the Custodian shall accept such appointment, to act as the agent of the Indenture Trustee as custodian of the Receivable Files in its possession or control, which shall be delivered to the Custodian as agent of the Indenture Trustee on or before the Closing Date. (b) If the Indenture Trustee, or its agent, as the case may be, is acting as the Custodian pursuant to Section 3(f), Section 8 or Section 9(d) of the Custodian Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have assumed the obligations of the Custodian (except for any liabilities incurred by the predecessor Custodian) specified in the Custodian Agreement until such time as a successor Custodian has been appointed. Upon payment in full of any Receivable, the Servicer will notify the Custodian pursuant to a written request for release of documents in the form attached as Exhibit B to the Custodian Agreement (which written request shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payments which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 4.1 have been so deposited) and shall request delivery of the Receivable and Receivable File to the Servicer. Upon the sale of any Receivable pursuant to Section 4.3(a), the Servicer will notify the Custodian pursuant to a written request for release of documents in the form attached as Exhibit B to the Custodian Agreement (which written request shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payments which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account have been so deposited) and shall request delivery of the Receivable and Receivable File to the Servicer. From time to time as appropriate for servicing and enforcing any Receivable, the Custodian shall, upon written request for release of documents in the form attached as Exhibit B to the Custodian Agreement, cause the original Receivable and the related Receivable File to be released to the Servicer. The Servicer’s receipt of a Receivable and/or Receivable File shall obligate the Servicer to return such Receivable and such Receivable File to the Custodian when its need by the Servicer has ceased unless such Receivable is repurchased as described in Section 3.2, 4.2 or 4.7. No such written request for release of documents in the form attached as Exhibit B to the Custodian Agreement under any of the foregoing circumstances will be required to be delivered for so long as Exeter is the Servicer. (c) The Servicer shall ensure that the Custodian shall be provided full electronic access to the records of the third party title intermediary concerning certificates of title that are maintained in electronic form. The Custodian shall certify any electronic certificate of title by confirming the electronic information available from the third party title intermediary against the electronic information received from the Servicer with respect to electronic certificates of title. Wherever in this Agreement or in the other Basic Documents it states that the Custodian has possession of Receivable Files, with respect to electronic certificates of title, it shall mean that the Custodian has received information sufficient to perform the verification set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. The Custodian will rely on, but cannot be responsible for, verify or confirm, the content or accuracy of any information provided by the third party title intermediary.
