Collection of Receivable Payments; Modifications of Receivables (a) Consistent with the standards, policies and procedures required by this Agreement, the Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Receivables as and when the same shall become due, and shall follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to all comparable motor vehicle receivables that it services for itself or others. The Servicer is authorized in its discretion to waive any prepayment charge, late payment charge or any other similar fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing any Receivable. (b) Subject to Section 4.06, the Servicer may grant extensions, rebates, deferrals, amendments, modifications or adjustments on a Receivable in accordance with its customary servicing practices; provided, however, that if the Servicer (i) extends the date for final payment by the Obligor of any Receivable beyond the last day of the Collection Period prior to the Class C Stated Maturity Date or (ii) reduces the APR or unpaid principal balance with respect to any Receivable other than as required by applicable law, it will promptly purchase such Receivable in the manner provided in Section 4.07. (c) The Servicer may, but is not required to, make any advances of funds or guarantees regarding collections, cash flows or distributions. Payments on the Receivables, including payoffs made in accordance with the related documentation for such Receivables, shall be posted to the Servicer’s Obligor records in accordance with the principal, interest or other items in accordance with the related documentation for such Receivables. (d) Subject to the provisions of Section 4.02(b), the Servicer and its Affiliates may engage in any marketing practice or promotion or any sale of any products, goods or services to Obligors with respect to the Receivables so long as such practices, promotions or sales are offered to obligors of comparable motor vehicle receivables serviced by the Servicer for itself and others, whether or not such practices, promotions or sales might result in a decrease in the aggregate amount of payments on the Receivables, prepayments or faster or slower timing of the payment of the Receivables. (e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer may refinance any Receivable and deposit the full Principal Balance of such Receivable into the Collection Account. The receivable created by such refinancing shall not be property of the Issuer. The Servicer and its Affiliates may also sell insurance or debt cancellation products, including products which result in the cancellation of some or all of the amount of a Receivable upon the death or disability of the Obligor or any casualty with respect to the Financed Vehicle. (f) Records documenting collection efforts shall be maintained during the period a Receivable is delinquent in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy. Such records shall be maintained on at least a periodic basis that is not less frequent than as set forth in the Credit and Collection Policy, and describe the entity’s activities in monitoring delinquent pool assets including, for example, phone calls, letters and payment rescheduling plans in cases where delinquency is deemed temporary (e.g., illness or unemployment) in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy.
Characteristics of Receivables Each Receivable (A) shall have been originated in the United States by a Dealer for the retail sale of the related Financed Vehicle in the ordinary course of such Dealer’s business, shall have been fully and properly executed by the parties thereto, shall have been purchased by the Seller from such Dealer under an existing agreement with the Seller, shall have been validly assigned by such Dealer to the Seller in accordance with its terms and, to the best knowledge of the Seller, shall have been sold by a Dealer without fraud or misrepresentation, (B) shall have created or shall create a valid, subsisting and enforceable first priority security interest in favor of the Seller in the related Financed Vehicle, (C) shall contain customary and enforceable provisions such that the rights and remedies of the holder thereof shall be adequate for realization against the collateral of the benefits of the security, (D) shall provide for level Monthly Payments (provided that the first or last payment in the life of the Receivable may be minimally different from the level payment) that fully amortize the Amount Financed over its original term and shall provide for a finance charge or shall yield interest at its APR, (E) shall provide for, in the event that such Receivable is prepaid, a prepayment that fully pays the Principal Balance and includes accrued but unpaid interest at least through the date of prepayment in an amount calculated by using an interest rate at least equal to its APR, (F) shall have an Obligor that is not a federal, state or local governmental entity and (G) is a retail installment contract.
Purchase of Receivables (a) The Seller hereby sells, assigns, transfers and conveys to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, on the terms and subject to the conditions specifically set forth herein, but without recourse except as provided herein, all of its right, title and interest, in (i) each Contract listed on the Receivables Schedule on the Closing Date, (ii) all Receivables related thereto and all Collections received thereon after the applicable Purchase Date, (iii) all Related Security, (iv) all products of the foregoing, (v) all Recoveries relating thereto, and (vi) all proceeds of the foregoing (items specified in clauses (ii) through (vi), collectively the “Related Rights”). (b) On each Purchase Date occurring after the Closing Date, all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Contracts identified on the Funding Request for such Purchase Date and the Related Rights shall be sold, assigned, transferred and conveyed to the Purchaser, without the need for any further action by the parties hereto, on the terms and subject to the conditions specifically set forth herein, but without recourse except as provided herein. In connection with each sale hereunder occurring after the Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser and the Servicer, on the applicable Purchase Date (or if such Purchase Date is not a Business Day, on the immediately following Business Day), a Funding Request which shall include a list of all Contracts sold on such Purchase Date. (c) The parties to this Agreement intend that the transactions contemplated hereby shall be, and shall be treated as, a sale by the Seller of the Receivables, as applicable, and not as a lending transaction. All sales of Receivables by the Seller hereunder shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty of any kind (express or implied) by, the Seller, except as otherwise specifically provided herein. (d) Notwithstanding Section 2.1(a) above or any other provision of this Agreement, the Purchaser hereby advises the Seller that the Purchaser is acquiring, through the ECL Master Trust, only the beneficial interest in any Contracts and Related Rights sold pursuant to this Agreement and not the legal title to any such Contracts or Related Rights. Accordingly, the Purchaser hereby authorizes and instructs the Seller to transfer legal title to all such Contracts and Related Rights to the Owner Trustee, not in its individual capacity but solely in its capacity as owner trustee for the ECL Master Trust, and to record in its records the Owner Trustee as the holder of such legal title. The Purchaser hereby further advises the Seller that the Purchaser intends to transfer to one or more of the Xxxxxxxxx Investors, immediately or promptly after the Purchaser’s acquisition thereof, the beneficial interest in all of the Contracts and Related Rights which the Purchaser acquires pursuant to this Agreement. The Seller hereby consents to each such transfer made by the Purchaser to an Xxxxxxxxx Investor.
Conveyance of Receivables (a) Upon the execution of this Agreement by the parties hereto, the Seller, pursuant to the mutually agreed upon terms contained in this Agreement, shall sell, transfer, assign and otherwise convey to the Issuer, without recourse (but subject to the Seller’s obligations in this Agreement), all of its right, title and interest in and to the Receivables and any proceeds related thereto, including any Dealer Recourse and such other items as shall be specified in this Agreement. Concurrently therewith and in exchange therefor, the Issuer shall deliver to, or to the order of, the Seller the Notes and the Certificate. (b) In consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration to be delivered to the Seller hereunder, on behalf of the Issuer, the Seller does hereby sell, transfer, assign and otherwise convey to the Issuer, without recourse (subject to the Seller’s obligations herein): (i) all right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the Receivables and all monies due thereon or paid thereunder or in respect thereof (including proceeds of the repurchase of Receivables by the Seller pursuant to Section 3.02 or the purchase of Receivables by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.08 or 9.01) after the Cutoff Date; (ii) the interest of the Seller in the security interests in the Financed Vehicles granted by the Obligors pursuant to the Receivables and any accessions thereto; (iii) the interest of the Seller in any proceeds of any Insurance Policies relating to the Receivables or the Obligors; (iv) the interest of the Seller in any Dealer Recourse; (v) the right of the Seller to realize upon any property (including the right to receive future Liquidation Proceeds) that shall have secured a Receivable and have been repossessed pursuant to the terms thereof; (vi) the rights and interests of the Seller under the Receivables Purchase Agreement; (vii) all proceeds of the foregoing; and (viii) all present and future claims, demands, causes of action and choses in action in respect of any or all of the foregoing and all payments on or under of every kind and nature whatsoever in respect of any or all of the foregoing, including all proceeds of the conversion thereof, voluntary or involuntary, into cash or other liquid property, all cash proceeds, accounts, accounts receivable, notes, drafts, acceptances, chattel paper, checks, deposit accounts, insurance proceeds, condemnation awards, rights to payment of any and every kind and other forms of obligations and receivables, instruments and other property which at any time constitute all or part of or are included in the proceeds of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Collateral”). (c) It is the intention of the Seller that the transfer and assignment contemplated by this Agreement shall constitute a sale of the Collateral from the Seller to the Issuer and the beneficial interest in and title to the Collateral shall not be part of the Seller’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy law. The Seller agrees to execute and file all filings (including filings under the UCC) necessary in any jurisdiction to provide third parties with notice of the sale of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement and to perfect such sale under the UCC. (d) Although the parties hereto intend that the transfer and assignment contemplated by this Agreement be a sale, in the event such transfer and assignment is deemed to be other than a sale, the parties intend that all filings described in the foregoing paragraph shall give the Issuer a first priority perfected security interest in, to and under the Receivables, and other Collateral conveyed hereunder and all proceeds of any of the foregoing. This Agreement shall be deemed to be the grant of a security interest from the Seller to the Issuer, and the Issuer shall have all the rights, powers and privileges of a secured party under the UCC. (e) In connection with the foregoing conveyance, the Servicer shall maintain its computer system so that, from and after the time of sale of the Receivables to the Issuer under this Agreement, the Servicer’s electronic files which are maintained for the purpose of identifying retail installment sales contracts which have been transferred in connection with securitizations will show the interest of the Issuer in such Receivable and that the Receivable is owned and controlled by the Issuer. Indication of the Issuer’s ownership of a Receivable shall be deleted from or modified on the Servicer’s computer systems when, and only when, the Receivable has been paid in full, repurchased or assigned pursuant to this Agreement. (f) Ownership and control of the Receivables, as between the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee (on behalf of the Noteholders) shall be governed by the Indenture.
Nature of Receivables Each of the Receivables shall be a bona fide and valid account representing a bona fide indebtedness incurred by the Customer therein named, for a fixed sum as set forth in the invoice relating thereto (provided immaterial or unintentional invoice errors shall not be deemed to be a breach hereof) with respect to an absolute sale or lease and delivery of goods upon stated terms of a Borrower, or work, labor or services theretofore rendered by a Borrower as of the date each Receivable is created. Same shall be due and owing in accordance with the applicable Borrower’s standard terms of sale without dispute, setoff or counterclaim except as may be stated on the accounts receivable schedules delivered by Borrowers to Agent.
Collection of Receivable Payments The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Receivables as and when the same shall become due, and shall follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to all comparable motor vehicle receivables (including automobiles and light-duty trucks) that it services for itself or others. The Servicer shall be authorized to grant extensions, rebates or adjustments on a Receivable without the prior consent of the Issuer. If, as a result of the extending of payments in accordance with the customary servicing standards of the Servicer, any Receivable will be outstanding later than the Final Scheduled Maturity Date, the Servicer shall be obligated to repurchase such Receivable pursuant to Section 3.08. In addition, in the event that any such rescheduling or extension of a Receivable modifies the terms of such Receivable in such a manner as to constitute a cancellation of such Receivable and the creation of a new motor vehicle receivable (including automobiles and light-duty trucks) that results in a deemed exchange thereof within the meaning of Section 1001 of the Code, the Servicer shall purchase such Receivable pursuant to Section 3.08, and the receivable created shall not be included in Collateral held by the Issuer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, extensions or modifications of the payment schedule of a Receivable can be made only in accordance with the customary servicing procedures of the Servicer, provided that the amount of any extension fee charged in connection with the extension of a Receivable is deposited into the Collection Account by the Servicer in accordance with Section 4.05(a). The Servicer may, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures, waive any prepayment charge, late payment charge or any other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing the Receivables.

(b) The foregoing sales, and any subsequent sales of additional assets, do not constitute, and are not intended to result in, the creation or an assumption by the Issuer or the Owner Trustee of any obligation of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Seller, Ford or any other Person in connection with the Accounts, the related Receivables or under any related agreement or instrument, including any obligation to any Dealers or Ford. The foregoing sales are not sales of the Accounts, but rather are sales of the Sold Receivables originated in the Accounts. (c) In connection with the foregoing sales, the Depositor will record and file, at its own expense, a financing statement on form UCC-1 or any other applicable form (and continuation statements when applicable) with respect to the Sold Receivables sold by the Depositor for the sale, for UCC purposes, of “tangible chattel paper,” “payment intangibles,” “general intangibles” or “accounts” (each as defined in the UCC), meeting the requirements of Applicable Law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect the sale and assignment, for UCC purposes, of the Sold Receivables and the Related Security to the Issuer, and to deliver a file-stamped copy of such financing statement or other evidence of such filing to the Issuer on or before the first Closing Date, in the case of the Initial Accounts, and (if any additional filing is so necessary) the applicable Addition Date, in the case of Additional Accounts. The Owner Trustee will be under no obligation whatsoever to file such financing statement, or a continuation statement to such financing statement, or to make any other filing under Applicable Law in connection with such sales if the Issuer has appointed the Administrator to act in such capacity. (d) The Depositor and the Issuer intend that all transfers of Sold Receivables under this Agreement constitute valid sales of such Sold Receivables and not transfers of such Sold Receivables as security for a loan. However, if the transfers of the Sold Receivables under this Agreement were to be characterized as transfers as security for a loan, then (i) the Depositor will have Granted, and Grants, to the Issuer a security interest in each Sold Receivable and the Related Security whether now owned or hereafter acquired, and all monies due or to become due and all amounts received with respect to any of the foregoing and all proceeds (including “proceeds,” as defined in the UCC) and Recoveries thereof and (ii) this Agreement constitutes a security agreement. For tax purposes, the Depositor and the Issuer intend that all sales of Sold Receivables under this Agreement constitute transfers of such Sold Receivables as security for a loan. (e) On or before the first Closing Date, in the case of the Initial Accounts, and on or before the applicable Addition Date, in the case of Additional Accounts, the Depositor will, at its own expense: (i) cause the Seller to indicate in its computer files as required by the Receivables Purchase Agreement, that the Sold Receivables and the Related Security have been (A) sold and assigned to the Depositor pursuant to the related Receivables Purchase Agreement, (B) sold and assigned by the Depositor to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement and (C) pledged by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to the Indenture and the Indenture Supplements; (ii) in the case of the Initial Accounts, deliver (or cause the Seller to deliver) to the Owner Trustee the Initial Account Schedule; and (iii) in the case of Additional Accounts, deliver (or cause the Seller to deliver) to the Owner Trustee an Additional Account Schedule. (f) On or prior to April 30th of each year, or upon the request of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, the Depositor will deliver (or cause the Seller to deliver) to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee the entire Account Schedule. (g) The Account Schedule, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time will be marked as Schedule A and is incorporated into and made a part of this
