ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

SECTION 3.01 Representations and Warranties as to the Receivables. The Seller makes the following representations and warranties as to each Receivable, on which Ally Auto relies in accepting the Receivables. Such representations and warranties speak as of the Closing Date, and shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables to Ally Auto and the subsequent assignment and transfer pursuant to the Further Transfer Agreements:

(a) Characteristics of Receivables.

(i) General. Each Receivable:

(1) is secured by a Financed Vehicle, was originated in the United States by the Seller or one of its subsidiaries or a Dealer for the retail sale of a Financed Vehicle in the ordinary course of business, was fully and properly executed by the parties thereto, if not originated by the Seller, was purchased by the Seller from one of its subsidiaries or from such Dealer under an existing Dealer Agreement, and was validly assigned by such subsidiary or such Dealer to the Seller in accordance with its terms,

(2) has created or shall create a valid, binding and enforceable first priority security interest in favor of the Seller in the Financed Vehicle, which security interest is assignable by the Seller to Ally Auto,

(3) contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for realization against the collateral of the benefits of the security,

(4) is a Simple Interest Receivable,

(5) provides for level monthly payments which may vary from one another by no more than $5, which shall amortize the Amount Financed by maturity and shall yield interest at the Annual Percentage Rate,

(6) has an original term of not less than twenty-two (22) months and not greater than seventy-five (75) months and a remaining term of not less than nine (9) months, and

(7) with respect to which at least one monthly payment has been made.

(ii) Receivables. In addition to the characteristics set forth in Section 3.01(a)(i) above, each Receivable (1) has a first scheduled payment due date on or after November 27, 2007, (2) was originated on or after October 22, 2007, (3) as of the Cutoff Date, was not considered past due (that is, no payments due on that Receivable in excess of $25 were more than thirty (30) days delinquent), and was not a Liquidating Receivable, and (4) has an Annual Percentage Rate not greater than 17.00%.

(b) Creation, Perfection and Priority of Security Interests. The representations and warranties regarding creation, perfection and priority of security interests in the Purchased Property, which are attached to this Agreement as Appendix B, are true and correct to the extent that they are applicable.

(c) Schedule of Receivables. The information set forth in the Schedule of Receivables relating to each Receivable is true and correct in all material respects, and no selection procedures believed to be adverse to Ally Auto or to holders of the Securities issued under the Further Transfer Agreements were utilized in selecting the Receivables from those receivables of the Seller that meet the selection criteria set forth in this Agreement.

(d) Compliance With Law. All requirements of applicable federal, state and local laws, and regulations thereunder, including usury laws, Utah banking laws, the Federal Truth-in-Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Billing Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxx Warranty Act, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s Regulations “B” and “Z,” the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act of 2003, the Texas Consumer Credit Code, and state adaptations of the National Consumer Act and the Uniform Consumer Credit Code and other consumer credit laws and equal credit opportunity and disclosure laws, in respect of each such Receivable and other Purchased Property, have been complied with in all material respects,

and each such Receivable and the sale of the Financed Vehicle evidenced thereby complied at the time it was originated or made and now complies in all material respects with all legal requirements of the jurisdiction in which it was originated or made.

(e) Binding Obligation. Each such Receivable represents the genuine, legal, valid and binding payment obligation in writing of the Obligor thereon, enforceable by the holder thereof in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and by equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

(f) Security Interest in Financed Vehicle. Immediately prior to the sale, transfer and assignment thereof pursuant hereto and the First Step Receivables Assignment, each Receivable was secured by a validly perfected first priority security interest in the Financed Vehicle in favor of the Seller as secured party or all necessary and appropriate action had been commenced that would result in the valid perfection of a first priority security interest in the Financed Vehicle in favor of the Seller as secured party.

(g) Receivables In Force. Each such Receivable has not been satisfied, subordinated or rescinded, and the Financed Vehicle securing each such Receivable has not been released from the lien of the related Receivable in whole or in part.

(h) No Waiver. Since the Cutoff Date no provision of any such Receivable has been waived, altered or modified in any respect.

(i) No Defenses. No right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense has been asserted or threatened with respect to any such Receivable.

(j) No Liens. To the best of the Seller’s knowledge: (1) there are no liens or claims that have been filed for work, labor or materials affecting any Financed Vehicle securing any Receivable that are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the security interest in the Financed Vehicle granted by such Receivable; (2) no contribution failure has occurred with respect to any Benefit Plan which is sufficient to give rise to a lien under Section 303 (k) of ERISA with respect to any Receivable; and (3) no tax lien has been filed and no claim related thereto is being asserted with respect to any such Receivable.

(k) Insurance. The Obligor under each such Receivable is required to maintain a physical damage insurance policy of the type that the Seller requires in accordance with its customary underwriting standards for the purchase of motor vehicle related receivables.

(l) Good Title. Each such Receivable has not been sold, transferred, assigned or pledged by the Seller to any Person other than Ally Auto; immediately prior to the conveyance of each such Receivable pursuant to this Agreement and the First Step Receivables Assignment, the Seller had good and marketable title thereto, free of any Lien; and, upon execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Seller, Ally Auto shall have all of the right, title and interest of the Seller in and to each such Receivable, the unpaid indebtedness evidenced thereby and the collateral security therefor, free of any Lien.

(m) Lawful Assignment. Each such Receivable was not originated in, or is not subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction the laws of which would make unlawful the sale, transfer and assignment of each such Receivable under this Agreement, the Trust Sale Agreement or the Indenture, as applicable.

(n) All Filings Made. All filings (including UCC filings) necessary in any jurisdiction to give Ally Auto a first priority perfected ownership interest in each such Receivable shall have been made.

(o) One Original. There is only one original executed copy of each such Receivable.

(p) No Documents or Instruments. No such Receivable, or constituent part thereof, constitutes a “negotiable instrument” or “negotiable document of title” (as such terms are used in the UCC).

(q) No Amendment. Each such Receivable has not been amended or otherwise modified such that the number of originally scheduled due dates has been increased or such that the Amount Financed has been increased.

ARTICLE IV

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

SECTION 4.02 Protection of Title.

(a) Filings. The Seller shall authorize or execute, as applicable, and file such financing statements or amendments to financing statements and cause to be authorized and executed, as applicable, and filed such continuation and other statements, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve, maintain and protect the interest of Ally Auto under this Agreement and the First Step Receivables Assignment in the Receivables and the other Purchased Property and in the proceeds thereof. The Seller shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to Ally Auto file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon as available following such filing, and the Seller hereby authorizes Ally Auto and its assigns to file all such financing statements without its signature.

In the event that the Seller shall change the jurisdiction in which it is formed or otherwise enter into any transaction which would result in a “new debtor” (as defined in the UCC) succeeding to the obligations of the Seller hereunder, the Seller shall comply fully with the obligations of Section 4.02(a).

SECTION 4.03 Other Liens or Interests. Except for the conveyances hereunder and under the First Step Receivables Assignment and as contemplated by the Further Transfer Agreements, the Seller shall not sell, pledge, assign or transfer the Receivables or other Purchased Property to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any interest therein, and the Seller shall defend the right, title and interest of Ally Auto in, to and under such Receivables or other Purchased Property against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Seller.

SECTION 4.04 Repurchase Events. By its execution of the Further Transfer Agreements to which it is a party, the Seller shall acknowledge the assignment by Ally Auto of such of its right, title and interest in, to and under this Agreement and the First Step Receivables Assignment to the Issuing Entity as shall be provided in the Further Transfer Agreements. The Seller hereby covenants and agrees with Ally Auto for the benefit of Ally Auto and the Interested Parties that in the event of a breach of any of the Seller’s representations and warranties contained in Section 3.01 hereof with respect to any Receivable (a “Repurchase Event”), the Seller will repurchase such Receivable from the Issuing Entity (if the Issuing Entity is then the Owner of such Receivable) on the date and for the amount specified in the Further Transfer Agreements, without further notice from Ally Auto hereunder. Upon the occurrence of a Repurchase Event with respect to a Receivable for which Ally Auto is the Owner, the Seller agrees to repurchase such Receivable from Ally Auto for an amount and upon the same terms as the Seller would be obligated to repurchase such Receivable from the Issuing Entity if the Issuing Entity was then the Owner thereof, and upon payment of such amount, the Seller shall have such rights with respect to such Receivable as if the Seller had purchased such Receivable from the Issuing Entity as the Owner thereof. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller 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 the Seller for such breach available to Ally Auto or any Interested Party.

SECTION 4.05 Indemnification. The Seller shall indemnify Ally Auto for any liability as a result of the failure of a Receivable to be originated in compliance with all requirements of law. This indemnity obligation shall be in addition to any obligation that the Seller may otherwise have.

assign its rights hereunder and under the First Step Receivables Assignment to the Issuing Entity, subject to the terms and conditions of the Further Transfer Agreements, and that the Issuing Entity may in turn further pledge, assign or transfer its rights in the Receivables and this Agreement and the First Step Receivables Assignment.

Additional Representations and Warranties

While it is the intention of the Seller and Ally Auto that the transfer and assignment contemplated by this Agreement and the First Step Receivables Assignment shall constitute sales of the Purchased Property from the Seller to Ally Auto, this Agreement, the Trust Sale Agreement and the Indenture create a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Purchased Property in favor of Ally Auto, the Trust and the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Seller, Ally Auto and the Issuing Entity, respectively.

2.	All steps necessary to perfect the Seller’s security interest against each Obligor in the property securing the Purchased Property have been taken.

3.	Prior to the sale of the Purchased Property to Ally Auto under this Agreement, the Receivables constitute “tangible chattel paper” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

4.	The Seller owns and has good and marketable title to the Purchased Property free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person.

The Seller has caused or will have caused, within ten (10) days, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing offices in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Purchased Property granted to Ally Auto hereunder, the Issuing Entity under the Trust Sale Agreement and the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture.

Other than the security interest granted to Ally Auto pursuant to the Basic Documents, the Issuing Entity under the Trust Sale Agreement and the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture none of the Seller, Ally Auto or the Issuing Entity has pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Purchased Property. None of the Seller, Ally Auto or the Issuing Entity has authorized the filing of, nor is the Seller aware of, any financing statements against the Seller, Ally Auto or the Issuing Entity that include a description of collateral covering the Purchased Property other than the financing statements relating to the security interests granted to Ally Auto, the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee under the Basic Documents or any financing statement that has been terminated. The Seller is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Seller, Ally Auto or the Issuing Entity.

The Custodian has in its possession or with third party vendors all original copies of the Receivables Files and other documents that constitute or evidence the Receivables and the Purchased Property. The Receivables Files and other documents that constitute or evidence the Purchased Property do not have any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than Ally Auto.

App. B-1

All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Seller in favor of Ally Auto in connection herewith describing the Receivables contain a statement to the following effect: “A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of Ally Auto.”
