In furtherance of the foregoing, the Seller hereby authorizes the Purchaser, the Trust or the Trust Collateral Agent to file a record or records (as defined in the applicable UCC), including, without limitation, financing statements, in all jurisdictions and with all filing offices as each may determine, in its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable to perfect the security interest granted to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement. Such financing statements may describe the collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as such party may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the collateral granted to the Purchaser herein.

(b) Seller hereby authorizes the Purchaser, the Trust or the Trust Collateral Agent, to the extent Seller has not done so at their request, to execute and file in Seller's name any document required by applicable law to change to lien holder of record as to any Financed Vehicle to the Trust if the Purchaser, the Trust or the Trust Collateral Agent determine such change is necessary to maintain the perfected security interest of the Trust in that Financed Vehicle.

(c) Seller shall not change its name, identity or corporate structure or jurisdiction of organization in any manner that would, could or might make any financing statement or continuation statement filed in accordance with paragraph (a) above seriously misleading within the meaning of the UCC, unless it shall have given Purchaser, Owner Trustee, Indenture Trustee and Insurer at least 60 days’ prior written notice thereof and shall have promptly filed appropriate amendments to all previously filed financing statements or continuation statements.

(d) Seller shall give Purchaser, Owner Trustee, Indenture Trustee and Insurer at least 60 days’ prior written notice of any relocation of its principal executive office or change in its jurisdiction or organization, if, as a result of such relocation, the applicable provisions of the UCC would require the filing of any amendment of any previously filed financing or continuation statement or of any new financing statement and shall promptly file any such amendment or new financing statement.

(e) Seller shall maintain its computer systems relating to installment loan recordkeeping so that, from and after the time of sale under this Agreement of its Receivables, Seller’s master computer records (including any backup archives) that refer to a Receivable shall indicate clearly the interest of Purchaser, the Trust, Indenture Trustee and Insurer in such Receivable and that such Receivable has been sold to Purchaser and by Purchaser to the Trust and is owned by the Trust and has been pledged to Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture and to Insurer under the Insurance Agreement. Indication of Purchaser’s, Trust’s, Indenture Trustee’s and Insurer’s interest in a Receivable shall be deleted from or modified on Seller’s computer systems when, and only when, the related Receivable shall have been paid in full, repurchased by Seller, purchased by Servicer or sold pursuant to Section 4.3(c) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

(f) If at any xxxx Xxxxxx shall propose to sell, grant a security interest in or otherwise transfer any interest in receivables to any prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee, Seller shall give to such prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee computer tapes, records or printouts (including any restored from backup archives) that, if they shall refer in any manner whatsoever to any Receivable, shall indicate clearly that such Receivable has been sold to Purchaser, sold by Purchaser to the Trust and pledged to Indenture Trustee and Insurer.

(g) Seller shall, upon receipt of reasonable prior notice, permit Purchaser, Owner Trustee, Insurer and Indenture Trustee and their respective agents at any time during normal business hours to inspect, audit and make copies of and abstracts from Seller’s records regarding any Receivable.

(i) Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Purchaser, Owner Trustee, Indenture Trustee and Insurer:

(1) promptly after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and of each amendment hereto, an Opinion of Counsel either (A) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all financing statements and continuation statements have been executed and filed that are necessary fully to preserve and protect the interest of Purchaser in the Receivables, and reciting the details of such filings or referring to prior Opinions of Counsel in which such details are given, or (B) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interest; and

SECTION 5.3. INDEMNIFICATION.

(a) Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser, the Trust, the Trust Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Insurer, the Noteholders and the Certificateholder from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims, and liabilities, arising out of or resulting from any breach of any of Seller's representations and warranties contained herein.
