ARTICLE IV.
COVENANTS OF SELLERS
SECTION 4.1 LIENS IN FORCE. The Financed Vehicle securing
each Receivable shall not be released by the related Seller in whole or in part
from the security interest granted under the related Receivable, except upon
payment in full of the Receivable or as otherwise contemplated herein or the
Transaction Documents and the related Seller shall not take or permit any
action inconsistent with the foregoing.
SECTION 4.2 NO IMPAIRMENT. The related Seller shall do
nothing to impair the rights of the Purchaser or the Secured Parties in the
Receivables, the Dealer Agreements, the Dealer Assignments, the Insurance
Policies or any other property or interest comprising the Other Conveyed
Property.
SECTION 4.3 NO AMENDMENTS. The Sellers shall not take or
permit any action to extend or otherwise amend the terms of any Receivable,
except in accordance with the Transaction Documents.
SECTION 4.4 RESTRICTIONS ON LIENS. The Sellers shall not:
(i) create or incur or agree to create or incur, or consent to cause (upon the
happening of a contingency or otherwise) the creation, incurrence or existence
of any Lien or restriction on transferability of the Receivables or of any
Other Conveyed Property except for the Lien in favor of the Purchaser and the
Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties as assignee thereof, and the
restrictions on transferability imposed by this Agreement or (ii) sign or file
under the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction any financing statement
or sign any security agreement authorizing any secured party thereunder to file
such financing statement, with respect to the Receivables or to any Other
Conveyed Property, except in each case any such instrument solely securing the
rights and preserving the Lien of the Purchaser and the Collateral Agent as
assignee thereof. The Sellers will take no action to cause any Receivable to be
evidenced by an instrument (as such term is defined in the relevant UCC).
SECTION 4.5 PRESERVATION OF COLLATERAL. The Sellers will do,
execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged
and delivered, such instruments of transfer or take such other steps or actions
as may be necessary, or required by the Purchaser or the Collateral Agent or
the Note Insurer, to effect the Conveyance, to perfect the security interest
granted in the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property to the Collateral
Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, to ensure that such Conveyance and
security interest ranks prior to all other Liens and to preserve the priority
of such Conveyance and security interest and the validity and enforceability
thereof.
SECTION 4.6 TRANSFERS TREATED AS SALES. Each Seller agrees
to treat each transfer for all purposes other than federal income tax purposes
(but including, without limitation, financial accounting purposes) as a sale
on all relevant books, records, financial statements and other applicable
documents; for federal income tax purposes, the parties hereto intend the
contribution of Receivables by the Sellers to the Purchaser to be characterized
as a contribution of property to a partnership in exchange for an interest in
the partnership in which
8
no gain or loss shall be recognized pursuant to Section 721(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In the event that, notwithstanding the intent
of each Seller, the transfer and assignment contemplated hereby is not held to
be a sale, each Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a security interest in
the Receivables and Other Conveyed Property described in each Supplement.
ARTICLE V.
REPURCHASES
SECTION 5.1 REPURCHASE OF RECEIVABLES UPON BREACH OF
WARRANTY. Upon the occurrence of a Repurchase Event, AFS shall (unless the
breach which is the subject of such Repurchase Event shall have been cured in
all material respects by the last day of the second Settlement Period after
such breach), repurchase the Receivable relating thereto (whether or not it was
the Seller thereof) from the Purchaser and, simultaneously with the repurchase
of the Receivable, AFS shall deposit the Purchase Amount in full, without
deduction or offset, to the Collection Account, pursuant to Section 2.7(b) of
the Security Agreement. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of AFS
to repurchase any Receivable, as to which a breach has occurred and is
continuing, shall, if such obligation is fulfilled, constitute the sole remedy
against AFS or AMTN for such breach available to Purchaser, the Note Insurer or
the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties except as otherwise
specified in the Insurance Agreement. The provisions of this Section 5.1 are
intended to grant the Collateral Agent and the Note Insurer a direct right
against AFS to demand performance hereunder, and in connection therewith, AFS
waives any requirement of prior demand against Purchaser with respect to such
repurchase obligation. Any such repurchase shall take place in the manner
specified in Section 2.7 of the Servicing and Custodian Agreement.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Servicing and
Custodian Agreement to the contrary, the obligation of AFS under this Section
shall not terminate upon a termination of AFS as Servicer under the Servicing
and Custodian 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
Servicing and Custodian Agreement.
SECTION 5.2 REASSIGNMENT OF PURCHASED RECEIVABLES. Upon
deposit in the Collection Account of the Purchase Amount of any Receivable
repurchased by AFS under Section 5.1 hereof or Section 2.7 of the Servicing and
Custodian Agreement, Purchaser (at AFS's expense) shall take such steps as may
be reasonably requested by AFS in order to assign to AFS all of Purchaser's and
the Collateral Agent's right, title and interest in and to such Receivable and
all security and documents and all Other Conveyed Property conveyed to
Purchaser and the Collateral Agent directly relating thereto, without recourse,
representation or warranty, except as to the absence of Liens created by or
arising as a result of actions of Purchaser or the Collateral Agent. Such
assignment shall be a sale and assignment outright, and not for security. If,
following the reassignment of a Purchased Receivable, in any enforcement suit
or legal proceeding, it is held that AFS may not enforce any such Receivable on
the ground that it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled
to enforce the Receivable, Purchaser and the Collateral Agent shall, at the
expense of AFS, take such steps as AFS deems reasonably
9
necessary to enforce the Receivable, including bringing suit in Purchaser's or
in the Collateral Agent's name.
SECTION 5.3 WAIVERS. No failure or delay on the part of
Purchaser, or the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties as assignee
of Purchaser, in exercising any power, right or remedy under this Agreement
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any such power, right or remedy preclude any other or future exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy.
ARTICLE VI.
