Accounts and Notes Receivable Schedule 5.11 sets forth an accurate list of the accounts and notes receivable of the Company, as of the Balance Sheet Date, including any such amounts which are not reflected in the balance sheet as of the Balance Sheet Date, and including receivables from and advances to employees and the Stockholders, which are identified as such. Except to the extent reflected on Schedule 5.11, such accounts, notes and other receivables are collectible in the amounts shown on Schedule 5.11, net of reserves reflected in the balance sheet as of the Balance Sheet Date.
Collection of Accounts Receivable At the Closing, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser a complete and correct list of the Seller's Total Receivables (the "Total Receivables List") as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date specifying the age of each of the Accounts Receivable, the amount due, name and address of each account debtor on the Total Receivables List (the "Total Account Debtors"). In the event that the Value of the Accounts Receivable shall be less than the Value of the Total Receivables pursuant to Section 1.3.3 hereof, the Seller shall, in addition to the Total Receivables List, deliver to the Purchaser at the Closing a list of all Accounts Receivable to be sold, assigned, transferred and delivered to the Purchaser at the Closing (the "Accounts Receivable List"), specifying the age of each of the Accounts Receivable, the amount due, name and address of each account debtor on the Accounts Receivable List (the "Account Debtors"). Promptly after the Closing, the Seller and the Purchaser shall notify all Total Account Debtors or the Account Debtors, as the case may be, by notice that the Purchaser has purchased the Seller's Accounts Receivable, and shall direct all Account Debtors or Total Account Debtors, as the case may be, to remit directly to the Purchaser payment of all outstanding amounts represented by the Accounts Receivable. The Seller and the Stockholders, jointly and severally, shall remit promptly to the Purchaser in full the amount of any and all payments received by any of them in respect of the Accounts Receivable, without any diminution, offset, deduction or discount.
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.
Collection of Receivable Payments (a) 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 practices, policies and procedures as it follows with respect to comparable motor vehicle related receivables that it services for itself or others in connection therewith (the “Established Collection Procedures”). The Servicer is hereby authorized to grant extensions, modifications, amendments or adjustments on a Receivable (collectively, “Receivable Modifications”) without the prior consent of the Owner of such Receivable provided that such Receivable Modifications are Permitted Modifications (as defined below). The Servicer is not authorized and may not make any Receivable Modifications unless such Receivable Modifications are Permitted Modifications. “Permitted Modifications” mean any Receivable Modifications made pursuant to the Established Collection Procedures with respect to which at least one of the following conditions has been or will be satisfied: (i) the Receivable Modifications, individually and collectively, considering all Receivable Modifications proposed to be made to such Receivable, are ministerial in nature (such as, by way of example, the change of payment dates due from an Obligor to a different day in the month, waiver of any late payment charge, or waiver of other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing the Receivable); (ii) the Servicer, in response to a request made by an Obligor and pursuant to the Established Collection Procedures, provides for extensions of payments with respect to the related Receivable to the extent that the following conditions all apply: (a) such extensions will not exceed 90 days in the aggregate during any 12-month period; (b) such extensions will not exceed 180 days in the aggregate during the life of such Receivable; and (c) the Servicer believes that such extensions are appropriate or necessary to prevent the Receivable from going into default (or where such Receivable is already in default, to prevent the Receivable from becoming further impaired); (iii) the Servicer, in response to a request made by an Obligor, provides for modifications due to a long-term hardship with respect to a Receivable to the extent that the Servicer believes such modifications are necessary to preserve the property ownership of such Receivable and to prevent such Receivable from going into default (or where such Receivable is already in default, to prevent the Receivable from becoming further impaired) and such modifications align with applicable laws and regulations; (iv) the Servicer has delivered an opinion to the Issuing Entity to the effect that such Receivable Modifications will not cause the Issuing Entity to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes; (v) the Servicer amends or otherwise modifies any Receivable such that the Amount Financed or the number of originally scheduled due dates is altered or such that the last scheduled due date occurs after the Final Scheduled Distribution Date solely if, (a) in the judgment of the Servicer, pursuant to the Established Collection Procedures, it is reasonably foreseeable that the Obligor will default (it being understood that the Servicer may proactively contact any Obligor whom the Servicer believes may be at a higher risk of a payment default under the related Receivable) and (b) the Servicer believes that such amendment or modification is appropriate or necessary to preserve the value of such Receivable and to prevent such Receivable from going into default (or, where such Receivable is already in default, to prevent such Receivable from becoming further impaired), or (vi) the Servicer amends or otherwise modifies any Receivable in accordance with or in order to comply with applicable law (including regulatory guidance, and including the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act or similar applicable state law).
Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable (a) The Seller agrees that it will utilize normal collection efforts consistent with past business practices of the Seller in collecting the outstanding accounts receivable of the Seller generated by the Purchased Assets as of the Effective Date. The Seller shall not undertake any formal collection action (whether legal action, referral to a collection agency or otherwise) with respect to any such Account Receivable without first consulting with the Buyer. The Seller agrees to pay, in a manner consistent with past business practice of the Seller, the outstanding accounts payable of the Seller as of the Effective Date. The Buyer shall not, and shall not permit its employees, officers, directors, independent contractors or agents to, directly or indirectly, encourage any customer of Seller not to make payment on any accounts receivable of Seller or commit any action which could reasonably lead or cause any customer not to make such a payment and the Buyer shall otherwise cooperate with Seller and its designees (and cause its personnel and accountants to cooperate) in Seller’s collection efforts.
(b) Both parties agree, as expeditiously as possible, to notify the Customers set forth on Exhibit 2.25, of the sale of the Purchased Assets, and to instruct such Customers that any monies due on invoices for service periods prior to the Effective Date shall be paid to Seller/Capital via the Capital lockbox mechanism, and all monies due on invoices for service periods subsequent to the Effective Date shall be paid to Buyer. The parties agree that in the event payments are received by either of the parties on accounts receivable from customers who are customers of both of the Buyer and Seller, and in the event that the customer has not provided instructions on the face of the remittance or any accompanying documentation or correspondence, the party receiving such payment shall contact the Customer to ascertain how the payment is to be applied. In the event such inquiry is unsuccessful, then such payments shall be applied first to the oldest outstanding invoice(s). In the event that either party receives proceeds of accounts receivable which belong to the other party, such party will immediately remit such proceeds, in kind, to the other party; provided, however, that, in the case of monies being received by Buyer and due to Seller, such proceeds shall be remitted to the Capital lockbox.
Collection of Receivables Except as otherwise provided in this Security Agreement, such Grantor will collect and enforce, at such Grantor’s sole expense, all amounts due or hereafter due to such Grantor under the Receivables owned by it.
Accounts Receivable All accounts receivable of the Acquired Companies that are reflected on the Balance Sheet or the Interim Balance Sheet or on the accounting records of the Acquired Companies as of the Closing Date (collectively, the "Accounts Receivable") represent or will represent valid obligations arising from sales actually made or services actually performed in the Ordinary Course of Business. Unless paid prior to the Closing Date, the Accounts Receivable are or will be as of the Closing Date current and collectible net of the respective reserves shown on the Balance Sheet or the Interim Balance Sheet or on the accounting records of the Acquired Companies as of the Closing Date (which reserves are adequate and calculated consistent with past practice and, in the case of the reserve as of the Closing Date, will not represent a greater percentage of the Accounts Receivable as of the Closing Date than the reserve reflected in the Interim Balance Sheet represented of the Accounts Receivable reflected therein and will not represent a material adverse change in the composition of such Accounts Receivable in terms of aging). Subject to such reserves, each of the Accounts Receivable either has been or will be collected in full, without any set-off, within ninety days after the day on which it first becomes due and payable. There is no contest, claim, or right of set-off, other than returns in the Ordinary Course of Business, under any Contract with any obligor of an Accounts Receivable relating to the amount or validity of such Accounts Receivable. Part 3.8 of the Disclosure Letter contains a complete and accurate list of all Accounts Receivable as of the date of the Interim Balance Sheet, which list sets forth the aging of such Accounts Receivable.
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.

Each of the Acquired Companies and their Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to their respective accounts receivable, free and clear of all Liens, except for Permitted Liens. Since the Balance Sheet Date, there have not been any write-offs as uncollectible of any notes or accounts receivable of any of the Acquired Companies or any of their Subsidiaries, except for write-offs as uncollectible of doubtful accounts reflected on the Company Balance Sheet as adjusted for operations and transactions through the Closing Date in accordance with past custom and practice of the Acquired Companies.
(b) All accounts payable and notes payable of the Acquired Companies and their Subsidiaries, whether reflected on the Company Balance Sheet or subsequently created, are valid payables that have arisen from bona fide transactions in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice. Since the Balance Sheet Date, the Acquired Companies and their Subsidiaries have paid their accounts payable in the ordinary course of their business and in a manner which is consistent with past practices.
