Purchase of Receivables (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, Buyer hereby agrees to purchase, and Originator hereby agrees to sell, all of Originator’s right, title and interest in and to all of the Receivables (each such transaction, a “Purchase”). On the date of the initial Purchase from Originator, Buyer shall purchase, and Originator shall sell, transfer and convey, all of Originator’s right, title and interest in and to all Receivables then outstanding, together with all Related Security relating thereto and all Collections thereof. On each Business Day thereafter until the Termination Date, Buyer shall purchase, and Originator shall sell, transfer and convey, all of Originator’s right, title and interest in and to all Receivables which were not previously purchased by Buyer hereunder, together in each case with all Related Security relating thereto and all Collections thereof. Prior to making the initial Purchase hereunder, Buyer may request of Originator, and Originator shall deliver, such approvals, opinions, information, reports or documents as Buyer may reasonably request.
(b) It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Purchase of Receivables made hereunder shall constitute a “sale of accounts” (as such term is used in Article 9 of the UCC), which sales are absolute and irrevocable and shall provide Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables. Except for the Purchase Price Credits, Repurchase Prices and Special Adjustment Credits owed pursuant to Section 1.3, each sale of Receivables hereunder is made without recourse to Originator; provided that (i) Originator shall be liable to Buyer for all representations, warranties and covenants made by Originator pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents to which Originator is a party, and (ii) such sale does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by Buyer or any assignee thereof of any obligation of Originator or any other Person arising in connection with the Receivables, the related Contracts, the Related Security or any other obligations of Originator. In view of the intention of the parties hereto that the Purchases of Receivables made hereunder shall constitute sales of such Receivables rather than loans secured thereby, Originator agrees, on or prior to the Initial Cutoff Date and in accordance with Section 4.1(f)(ii), to mxxx its master data processing records relating to the Receivables with a legend acceptable to Buyer and to the Program Agent (as Buyer’s assignee), evidencing that Buyer has purchased such Receivables as provided in this Agreement and to note in its financial statements that the Receivables have been sold to Buyer. Upon the request of Buyer or the Program Agent (as Buyer’s assignee), Originator will execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate to perfect and maintain the perfection of Buyer’s ownership interest in the Receivables and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto, or as Buyer or the Program Agent (as Buyer’s assignee) may reasonably request.
Repurchase of Receivables In the event of a breach of any representation or warranty set forth on Exhibit A which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer or the Securityholders and unless the breach shall have been cured by the last day of the second Collection Period following the Collection Period in which the discovery of the breach is made or notice is received, as the case may be (or, at the option of the RPA Seller, the last day in the first Collection Period following the Collection Period in which such discovery is made), the RPA Seller shall repurchase such Receivable. In consideration of the purchase of any such Receivable, on the related Payment Date, the RPA Seller shall remit an amount equal to the Warranty Purchase Payment in respect of such Receivable to the Purchaser and shall be entitled to receive the Released Warranty Amount. Upon any such repurchase, each of the Purchaser and the Issuer shall, without further action, be deemed to transfer, assign and otherwise convey to the RPA Seller, without recourse, representation or warranty, all the right, title and interest of either the Purchaser or the Issuer in, to and under such repurchased Receivable, all monies due or to become due with respect thereto and all proceeds thereof. The Purchaser, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Delaware Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, shall execute such documents and instruments of transfer or assignment and take such other actions as shall reasonably be requested by the RPA Seller to effect the conveyance of such Receivable pursuant to this Section. The sole remedy of the Purchaser, the Issuer, the Trustees or the Securityholders with respect to a breach of the RPA Seller’s representations and warranties pursuant to Section 2.03(a) shall be to require the RPA Seller to repurchase the related Receivables pursuant to this Section.
Purchase of Receivables Upon Breach Upon discovery by any party hereto of a breach of any of the covenants set forth in Section 4.02, 4.03, 4.05 or 4.06 which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer or the Noteholders, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other parties hereto; provided, that delivery of a Servicer’s Certificate shall be deemed to constitute prompt written notice thereof to the other party; provided, further, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect any obligation of the Servicer under this Section 4.07. Following a breach described in the preceding sentence, the Servicer shall either (a) correct or cure such breach or (b) purchase any Receivable materially and adversely affected by such breach from the Issuer, in either case on or before the Payment Date following the end of the Collection Period which includes the 60th day (or, if the Servicer elects, an earlier Payment Date) after the date that the Servicer became aware or was notified of such breach. Any such breach or failure will be deemed not to materially and adversely affect the Noteholders or the Issuer if such breach or failure does not affect the ability of the Issuer or the Noteholders to receive and retain timely payment in full on such Receivable. Any such purchase by the Servicer shall be at a price equal to the Purchased Amount. In consideration for such repurchase, the Servicer shall make (or shall cause to be made) a payment to the Issuer equal to the Purchased Amount by depositing such amount into the Collection Account in accordance with Section 5.04 on the Business Day preceding such Payment Date (or, if the Servicer elects, an earlier Payment Date). Upon payment of such Purchased Amount by the Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall release and shall execute and deliver such instruments of release, transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse or representation, as shall be reasonably necessary to vest in the Servicer or its designee any Receivable repurchased pursuant hereto. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Servicer to purchase any Receivable as described above shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Certificateholders, the Noteholders and the Indenture Trustee.
Repurchase of Receivables Upon Breach Upon the occurrence of a Repurchase Event, Seller shall, unless the breach which is the subject of such Repurchase Event shall have been cured in all material respects, repurchase the Receivable relating thereto from the Issuer if and only if the interests of the Noteholders therein are materially and adversely affected by any such breach and, simultaneously with the repurchase of the Receivable, Seller shall deposit the Purchase Amount in full, without deduction or offset, to the Collection Account, pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. It is understood and agreed that, except as set forth in Section 6.1 hereof, the obligation of Seller to repurchase any Receivable, as to which a breach occurred and is continuing, shall, if such obligation is fulfilled, constitute the sole remedy against Seller for such breach available to Purchaser, the Issuer, the Noteholders, the Certificateholder, the Trust Collateral Agent on behalf of the Noteholders or the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholder. The provisions of this Section 5.1 are intended to grant the Issuer and the Trust Collateral Agent a direct right against Seller to demand performance hereunder, and in connection therewith, Seller waives any requirement of prior demand against Purchaser with respect to such repurchase obligation. Furthermore, any Person who may request that any Receivable be repurchased by the Seller or the Purchaser in accordance with Section 3.2 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement may request that the Seller repurchase the related Receivable due to the occurrence of a Repurchase Event, in the same manner that it would request such repurchase pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Any repurchase hereunder shall take place in the manner specified in Section 3.2 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement to the contrary, the obligation of Seller under this Section shall not terminate upon a termination of Seller as Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement and shall be performed in accordance with the terms hereof notwithstanding the failure of the Servicer or Purchaser to perform any of their respective obligations with respect to such Receivable under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. In addition to the foregoing and notwithstanding whether the related Receivable shall have been purchased by Seller, Seller shall indemnify the Issuer, the Trust Collateral Agent, the Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Noteholders and the Certificateholder from and against all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, which may be asserted against or incurred by any of them as a result of third party claims arising out of the events or facts giving rise to such Repurchase Events.
Sale of Receivables (a) The Seller sells and assigns, without recourse (except as provided in this Agreement), to the Buyer the following property on and as of the dates specified below:
(i) on the first Closing Date, (A) all of its right, title and interest in, to and under each Sold Receivable originated in each Initial Account and all Related Security with respect to such Sold Receivables owned by the Seller at the close of business on the Cutoff Date and (B) 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;
(ii) on the applicable Addition Date, (A) all of its right, title and interest in, to and under each Sold Receivable originated in each Additional Account and all Related Security with respect to such Sold Receivables owned by the Seller at the close of business on the applicable Additional Cutoff Date, and (B) 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
(iii) on each Sale Date, (A) all of its right, title and interest in, to and under each Sold Receivable originated in each Account on such Sale Date and all Related Security with respect to such Sold Receivable owned by the Seller at the close of business on the applicable Sale Date and not previously sold to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and (B) 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.
(b) The foregoing sales, and any subsequent sales, do not constitute, and are not intended to result in, the creation, or an assumption by the Buyer, of any obligation of the Servicer, the Seller, Ford or any other Person in connection with the Accounts or 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 Seller 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 Seller, 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 Buyer, and to deliver a file-stamped copy of such financing statements or other evidence of such filing to the Buyer on or before the first Closing Date, in the case of the Initial Accounts, and (if any additional filing is necessary) the applicable Addition Date, in the case of Additional Accounts. The Buyer is 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.
(d) The Seller and the Buyer intend that all transfers of Sold Receivables under this Agreement constitute 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 of security for a loan and not as sales, then (i) the Seller will have Granted, and Grants, to the Buyer 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.
(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 Seller will, at its own expense:
(i) indicate in its computer files that the Sold Receivables and the Related Security have been (A) sold and assigned to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, (B) sold and assigned by the Buyer to the Issuer pursuant to the Sale and Servicing 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 to the Buyer the Initial Account Schedule; and
(iii) in the case of Additional Accounts, deliver to the Buyer an Additional Account Schedule.
(f) The Account Schedule, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, will be marked as Schedule 1 to this Agreement and is incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement.
(g) The purchase price for the Sold Receivables sold pursuant to this Agreement will be equal to the principal amount of the Sold Receivables, or such other price as may be agreed to by the Buyer and the Seller at the time of acquisition by the Buyer. The purchase price will not be materially less favorable than prices for transactions of a generally similar character at the time of the acquisition, taking into account the quality of such Sold Receivables the Seller’s cost of originating such Sold Receivables and a reasonable return on such costs, and other pertinent factors; provided that such consideration will in no event be less than reasonably equivalent value therefor. The Depositor and the Buyer each represents and warrants to the other that the amount of cash paid by the Depositor on any Sale Date, together with the increase in the value in the Buyer’s capital in the Depositor, is equal to the fair market value of the Sold Receivables sold on such Sale Date.
(h) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents to the contrary, in originating the Receivables, the Seller acts solely in its individual capacity and not in the capacity of agent or nominee of the Issuer. Furthermore, in connection with all sales of Sold Receivables by the Seller to the Buyer under this Agreement, the Seller is under no obligation, and does not intend, to inform the related Dealers of such sales by the Seller to the Buyer or of the transfer thereof by the Buyer to the Issuer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement or of the pledge thereof by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture.
Payment of Receivables Purchase Price In consideration of the sale of the Receivables from the Seller to the Purchaser as provided in Section 2.1, on the Closing Date the Purchaser shall have paid to the Seller the Receivables Purchase Price.
Purchase of Receivables Upon Breach of Covenant Upon discovery by any of the Servicer, a Responsible Officer of the Trust Collateral Agent, the Owner Trustee or a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of a breach of any of the covenants set forth in Sections 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 4.5(a) or 4.6 that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders in any Receivable (including any Liquidated Receivable), the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the others; provided, however, that the failure to give any such notice shall not affect any obligation of GM Financial as Servicer under this Section. As of the second Accounting Date following its discovery or receipt of notice of any breach of any covenant set forth in Sections 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 4.5(a) or 4.6 which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders in any Receivable (including any Liquidated Receivable) (or, at GM Financial’s election, the first Accounting Date so following) or the related Financed Vehicle, GM Financial shall, unless such breach shall have been cured in all material respects, purchase from the Trust the Receivable affected by such breach and, on the related Determination Date, GM Financial shall pay the related Purchase Amount. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of GM Financial to purchase any Receivable (including any Liquidated Receivable) with respect to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall, if such obligation is fulfilled, constitute the sole remedy against GM Financial for such breach available to the Noteholders, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent; provided, however, that GM Financial shall indemnify the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Noteholders from and against all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, which may be asserted against or incurred by any of them as a result of third-party claims arising out of the events or facts giving rise to such breach.
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.
Optional Purchase of All Receivables (a) Subject to Section 10.1(a) of the Indenture, on the last day of any Collection Period as of which the Pool Balance shall be less than or equal to 10% of the Original Pool Balance, the Servicer and the Seller each shall have the option to purchase the Owner Trust Estate, other than the Trust Accounts; provided, however, that the amount to be paid for such purchase (as set forth in the following sentence) shall be sufficient to pay the full amount of principal, and interest then due and payable on the Notes. To exercise such option, the Servicer or the Seller, as the case may be, shall deposit pursuant to Section 5.6 in the Collection Account an amount equal to the greater of (i) the amount necessary to pay the full amount of principal and interest then due and payable on the Notes and (ii) the aggregate Purchase Amount for the Receivables (including Liquidated Receivables), plus the appraised value of any other property held by the Trust, (such value to be determined by the Servicer, or if the Trust Collateral Agent has received written notice that there is a material error in the Servicer’s calculation, by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Servicer and the Trust Collateral Agent), and shall succeed to all interests in and to the Trust.
(b) Upon any sale of the assets of the Trust pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Trust Agreement, the Servicer shall instruct the Trust Collateral Agent to deposit the proceeds from such sale after all payments and reserves therefrom (including the expenses of such sale) have been made (the “Insolvency Proceeds”) in the Collection Account.
(c) Notice of any termination of the Trust shall be given by the Servicer to the Owner Trustee, the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent and the Rating Agencies as soon as practicable after the Servicer has received notice thereof.
(d) Following the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture and the payment in full of the principal of and interest on the Notes, the Certificateholder will succeed to the rights of the Noteholders hereunder and the Certificateholder will succeed to the rights of, and assume the obligations of, the Trust Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement.
Servicing of Receivables The Master Servicer shall service the Receivables as required by the terms of this Agreement and in material compliance with its standard and customary procedures for servicing all its other comparable motor vehicle receivables and in compliance with applicable law; and
