and all things in connection with such managing, servicing, administration and collection that it
may deem necessary or desirable.
(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer is hereby authorized and
empowered by the Owner of the Receivables, pursuant to this Section 3.01, to execute and
deliver, on behalf of all Interested Parties, or any of them, any and all instruments of

and deliver in the Servicer’s name any notices, demands, claims, complaints, responses, affidavits
or other documents or instruments in connection with any such proceeding. Any Owner of Receivables
shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents and take any other steps
which the Servicer may deem necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its
servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement and the Further Transfer and Servicing
Agreements. Except to the extent required by the preceding two sentences, the authority and rights
granted to the Servicer in this Section 3.01 shall be nonexclusive and shall not be
construed to be in derogation of the retention by the Owner of a Receivable of equivalent authority
and rights.
SECTION 3.02 Collection of Receivable Payments. 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

itself or others in connection therewith. Except as provided in Section 3.07(a)(iii), the
Servicer is hereby authorized to grant extensions, rebates or adjustments on a Receivable without

ordinary course of servicing such Receivable.
SECTION 3.03 [Reserved].
SECTION 3.04 Realization Upon Liquidating Receivables.
The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts, consistent with its customary practices, policies
and procedures, to repossess or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of any Financed Vehicle

under the Receivable secured by the Financed Vehicle. The Servicer is authorized to follow such
customary practices, policies and procedures as it follows with respect to comparable motor vehicle
related receivables that it services for itself or others, which customary practices, policies and
procedures may include reasonable efforts to realize upon any recourse to Dealers, selling the
related Financed Vehicle at public or private sale and other actions by the Servicer in order to
realize upon such a Receivable. The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in
which the Financed Vehicle shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not expend funds in
connection with any repair or towards the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless it shall
5
determine in its discretion that such repair and/or repossession shall increase the proceeds of
liquidation of the related Receivable by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses. The
Servicer shall be entitled to receive Liquidation Expenses with respect to each Liquidating
Receivable at such time as the Receivable becomes a Liquidating Receivable (or as may otherwise be
provided in the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements).
SECTION 3.05 Maintenance of Insurance Policies. The Servicer shall, in accordance with
its customary practices, policies and procedures, require that each Obligor shall have obtained

accordance with its customary practices, policies and procedures and at its own expense, take such
steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest created by each Receivable

(e) Binding Obligation. Each 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 GMAC as secured party or all necessary and appropriate action had been
10
commenced that
would result in the valid perfection of a first priority security interest in the Financed Vehicle
in favor of GMAC as secured party.
(g) Receivables In Force. No Receivable has 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 a 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 Receivable.
(j) No Liens. To the best of GMAC’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 the Receivable; (2) no contribution failure has occurred with respect
to any Benefit Plan which is sufficient to give rise to a lien under Section 302 (f) 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 Receivable.
(k) Insurance. Each Obligor is required to maintain a physical damage insurance
policy of the type that GMAC requires in accordance with its customary underwriting standards for
the purchase of motor vehicle related receivables.
(l) Good Title. No Receivable has been sold, transferred, assigned or pledged by GMAC
to any Person other than XXXX; immediately prior to the conveyance of the Receivables pursuant to
this Agreement and the First Step Receivables Assignment, GMAC had
good and marketable title thereto, free of any Lien; and, upon execution and delivery of this
Agreement by GMAC, XXXX shall have all of the right, title and interest of GMAC in and to the
Receivables, the unpaid indebtedness evidenced thereby and the collateral security therefor, free
of any Lien.
(m) Lawful Assignment. No Receivable was originated in, or is subject to the laws of,
any jurisdiction the laws of which would make unlawful the sale, transfer and assignment of such
Receivable under this Agreement, the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Indenture, as
applicable.
(n) All Filings Made. All filings (including UCC filings) necessary in any
jurisdiction to give XXXX a first priority perfected ownership interest in the Receivables shall
have been made.
(o) One Original. There is only one original executed copy of each Receivable.
(p) No Documents or Instruments. No Receivable, or constituent part thereof,
constitutes a “negotiable instrument” or “negotiable document of title” (as such
terms are used in the UCC).
11
(q) No Amendment. No Receivable has 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.
SECTION 4.02 Additional Representations and Warranties of GMAC. GMAC hereby represents
and warrants to XXXX as of the Closing Date, both in its capacity as the seller of the Receivables
hereunder and in its capacity as Servicer, that:

Agreements shall govern.
SECTION 5.02 Protection of Title.
(a) Filings. GMAC shall authorize and execute, as applicable, and file such financing

preserve, maintain and protect the interest of XXXX under this Agreement and the First Step
Receivables Assignment in the Receivables and the other Purchased Property and in the proceeds
thereof. GMAC shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to XXXX file-stamped copies of, or filing

following such filing GMAC hereby authorizes XXXX and its assigns to file all such financing
statements without its signature.

(c) Executive Office; Maintenance of Offices. GMAC shall give XXXX at least sixty

Additional Representations and Warranties
1. | While it is the intention of GMAC and XXXX that the transfer and assignment contemplated by this Agreement and the First Step Receivables Assignment shall constitute sales of the Purchased Property from GMAC to XXXX, this Agreement, the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture create a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Purchased Property in favor of XXXX, 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 GMAC, XXXX and the Issuing Entity, respectively. | |
2. | All steps necessary to perfect GMAC’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 XXXX under this Agreement, the Receivables constitute “tangible chattel paper” within the meaning of the applicable UCC. | |
