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.
Receivables (a) No amount payable to such Grantor under or in connection with any Receivable is evidenced by any Instrument or Chattel Paper which has not been delivered to the Administrative Agent.
(b) None of the obligors on any Receivables is a Governmental Authority.
(c) The amounts represented by such Grantor to the Lenders from time to time as owing to such Grantor in respect of the Receivables will at such times be accurate.
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.
Sales of Receivables Sell, transfer, discount or otherwise dispose of notes, accounts receivable or other obligations owing to the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, with or without recourse, except for collection in the ordinary course of business.
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.
Notes and Accounts Receivable All notes and accounts receivable of the Company, all of which are reflected properly on the books and records of the Company, are valid receivables subject to no setoffs, defenses or counterclaims, are current and, to the Company's Knowledge, collectible subject in each case only to the reserve for bad debts set forth on the face of the Most Recent Balance Sheet as adjusted for operations and transactions through the Closing Date in accordance with the past custom and practice of the Company.
Accounts Receivables Each existing Account constitutes, and each hereafter arising Account will, when such Account arises, constitute, the legally valid and binding obligation of the Account Debtor, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to materially adversely affect the value or collectability of the Accounts included in the Collateral, taken as a whole. No Account Debtor has any defense, set-off, claim or counterclaim against any Grantor that can be asserted against the Administrative Agent, whether in any proceeding to enforce the Administrative Agent’s rights in the Accounts included in the Collateral, or otherwise, except for defenses, setoffs, claims or counterclaims that could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to materially adversely affect the value or collectability of the Accounts included in the Collateral, taken as a whole. None of the Grantors’ accounts receivables are, nor will any hereafter arising account receivable be, evidenced by a promissory note or other Instrument (other than a check) that has not been pledged to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof.
Eligible Receivables Each Receivable included as an Eligible Receivable in the calculation of the Net Receivables Pool Balance as of any date is an Eligible Receivable as of such date.
Purchase and Sale of Receivables Effective as of the Closing Date and immediately prior to the transactions pursuant to the Indenture, the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Agreement, Seller does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to Purchaser, without recourse (subject to the obligations herein) (the "Seller Assets"):
(i) all right, title and interest of Seller in and to the Receivables, and all moneys received thereon [on or] after the Cutoff Date;
(ii) all right, title and interest of Seller in the security interests in the Financed Vehicles granted by Obligors pursuant to the Receivables and any other interest of Seller in the Financed Vehicles and any other property that shall secure the Receivables;
(iii) the interest of Seller in any proceeds with respect to the Receivables from claims on any Insurance Policies covering Financed Vehicles or the Obligors or from claims under any lender's single interest insurance policy naming the Seller as an insured;
(iv) rebates of premiums relating to Insurance Policies and rebates of other items such as extended warranties financed under the Receivables, in each case, to the extent the Servicer would, in accordance with its customary practices, apply such amounts to the Principal Balance of the related Receivable;
(v) the interest of Seller in any proceeds from (i) any Receivable repurchased by a Dealer, pursuant to a Dealer Agreement, as a result of a breach of representation or warranty in the related Dealer Agreement, (ii) a default by an Obligor resulting in the repossession of the Financed Vehicle under the applicable Motor Vehicle Loan or (iii) any Dealer Recourse or other rights relating to the Receivables under Dealer Agreements;
(vi) all right, title and interest of Seller in any instrument or document relating to the Receivables; and
(vii) the proceeds of any and all of the foregoing. The sale, transfer, assignment, setting over and conveyance made hereunder shall not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by Purchaser of any obligation of Seller to the Obligors, the Dealers or any other Person in connection with the Receivables and the other assets and properties conveyed hereunder or any agreement, document or instrument related thereto.
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.
