Security Interest Matters This Receivables Purchase Agreement creates a valid and continuing “security interest” (as defined in the Relevant UCC) in the Receivables in favor of the Depositor, which security interest is prior to all other Liens and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from the Seller. The Receivables constitute “tangible chattel paper” (as defined in the Relevant UCC). The Seller has caused or will cause prior to the Closing Date the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing offices in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law necessary to perfect the security interest in the Receivables granted to the Depositor under this Receivables Purchase Agreement. Other than the security interest granted to the Depositor under this Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Seller has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in or otherwise conveyed any of the Receivables (except for security interests that will be released contemporaneously with the transfer of the Receivables from the Seller to the Purchaser). The Seller has not authorized the filing of, and is not aware of any financing statements against the Seller that include a description of, collateral covering the Receivables other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Depositor under this Receivables Purchase Agreement or that has been terminated. The motor vehicle retail installment sale contracts that constitute or evidence the Receivables do not have any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Depositor, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee. The Seller is not aware of any material judgment or tax lien filings against the Seller.
