If the Servicer commences or participates in any such legal proceeding in its own name, the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned the applicable Receivable to the Servicer solely for purposes of commencing or participating in such proceeding as a party or claimant, and the Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer to execute and deliver in the Indenture Trustee’s or the Issuer’s name any notices, demands, claims, complaints, responses, affidavits or other documents or instruments in connection with any such proceeding. If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it shall be held that the Servicer may not enforce a Receivable on the ground that it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce such Receivable, the Owner Trustee shall, at the Servicer’s expense and direction, take steps to enforce such Receivable, including bringing suit in its name or the name of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders. The Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall upon the written request of the Servicer furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder.

Section 4.02 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.

 

 22(2012-C Sale and Servicing Agreement)
 

 

(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.

 

Section 4.03 Realization upon Receivables. Consistent with the standards, policies and procedures required by this Agreement and the Credit and Collection Policy, the Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to repossess or otherwise convert the ownership of and liquidate any Financed Vehicle securing a Receivable with respect to which the Servicer shall have determined that eventual payment in full is unlikely; provided, however, that the Servicer may elect not to repossess a Financed Vehicle if in its good faith judgment it determines that the proceeds ultimately recoverable with respect to such Receivable would not be greater than the expense of such repossession. In repossessing or otherwise converting the ownership of a Financed Vehicle and liquidating a Receivable, the Servicer is authorized to follow such customary practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable, consistent with the standard of care required by Section 4.01, which practices and procedures may include reasonable efforts to realize upon any recourse to Dealers, the sale of the related Financed Vehicle at public or private sale, the submission of claims under an insurance policy and other actions by the Servicer in order to realize upon a Receivable; provided, however, 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 determine in its reasonable judgment that such repair or repossession shall increase the related Liquidation Proceeds by an amount materially greater than the expense for such repair or repossession. The Servicer shall be entitled to recover all reasonable expenses incurred by it in the course of repossessing and liquidating a Financed Vehicle into cash proceeds, but only out of the cash proceeds of the sale of such Financed Vehicle, any deficiency obtained from the related Obligor or any amounts received from recourse to the related Dealer.

 

Section 4.04 Target Overcollateralization Amount and Reserve Account Required Amount. From time to time after the date hereof, the Servicer may notify each Rating Agency that it wishes to apply a formula for determining the Target Overcollateralization Amount or the Reserve Account Required Amount that is different from the formula described in the related definition, or change the manner by which the Reserve Account is funded. If the Servicer satisfies the Rating Agency Condition with respect to such action and the Servicer delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the Indenture Trustee to the effect that the Issuer has satisfied the Rating Agency Condition with respect to such action (upon receipt of which Officer’s Certificate the Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to verify the content thereof and no liability as a result of its reliance thereon), then the Target Overcollateralization Amount or the Reserve Account Required Amount, as applicable, will be determined in accordance with the new formula or, if applicable, the manner in which the Reserve Account is funded will change accordingly.

Section 4.05 Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Vehicles. The Servicer shall, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures, take such steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest created by each Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle. The provisions set forth in this Section are the sole requirements under the Basic Documents with respect to the maintenance of collateral or security on the Receivables. It is understood that the Financed Vehicles are the collateral and security for the Receivables, but that the certificate of title with respect to a Financed Vehicle does not constitute collateral and merely evidences such security interest. The Servicer is hereby authorized to take such steps as are necessary to re-perfect such security interest on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in the event of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle, or for any other reason. In the event that the assignment of a Receivable to the Issuer is insufficient, without a notation on the related Financed Vehicle’s certificate of title, or without fulfilling any additional administrative requirements under the laws of the state in which such Financed Vehicle is located, to perfect a security interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of the Issuer, the Servicer hereby agrees that the designation of HCA as the secured party on the certificate of title is in its capacity as agent of the Issuer.

 

Section 4.06 Covenants of Servicer. By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Servicer hereby covenants as follows (upon which covenants the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee rely in accepting the Receivables and delivering the applicable Securities):

 

(a)          Liens in Force. The Servicer will not release the Financed Vehicle securing any Receivable from the security interest granted by such Receivable in whole or in part except (i) in the event of payment in full by or on behalf of the Obligor thereunder or payment in full less a deficiency which the Servicer would not attempt to collect in accordance with its customary servicing practices, (ii) in connection with repossession and sale of the Financed Vehicle or (iii) as may be required by an insurer in order to receive proceeds from any Insurance Policy covering such Financed Vehicle;

 

(b)          No Impairment. The Servicer shall do nothing to impair the rights of the Trust in the property of the Trust;

 

(c)          No Amendments. The Servicer shall (i) not extend 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) reduce the APR or unpaid principal balance with respect to any Receivable other than as required by applicable law.

 

(d)          Safekeeping. The Servicer, in its capacity as custodian, shall hold, or cause its agent to hold, the Receivable Files for the benefit of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in accordance with its customary servicing practices.

Section 4.07 Purchase of Receivables Upon Breach. Upon discovery by any party hereto of a breach of any of the covenants set forth in Section 4.02, 4.03, 4.05 or 4.06 which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer or the Noteholders, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other parties hereto; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect any obligation of the Servicer under this Section 4.07. If the Servicer does not correct or cure such breach prior to the end of the Collection Period which includes the 60th day (or, if the Servicer elects, an earlier date) after the date that the Servicer became aware or was notified of such breach, then the Servicer shall purchase any Receivable materially and adversely affected by such breach from the Issuer on the Payment Date following the end of such Collection Period. Any such purchase by the Servicer shall be at a price equal to the Purchased Amount. In consideration for such repurchase, the Servicer shall make (or shall cause to be made) a payment to the Issuer equal to the Purchased Amount by depositing such amount into the Collection Account in accordance with Section 5.04 on such Payment Date. Upon payment of such Purchased Amount by the Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall release and shall execute and deliver such instruments of release, transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse or representation, as shall be reasonably necessary to vest in the Servicer or its designee any Receivable repurchased pursuant hereto. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Servicer to purchase any Receivable as described above shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Certificateholders, the Noteholders and the Indenture Trustee.

 

Section 4.08 Servicing Fee. The Servicing Fee shall be payable to the Servicer on each Payment Date. The Servicing Fee shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. In addition, the Servicer will be entitled to retain all late fees, extension fees, non-sufficient funds charges and any and all other administrative fees and expenses or similar charges allowed by applicable law with respect to any Receivable. The Servicer also will be entitled to receive investment earnings (net of investment losses and expenses) on funds deposited in the Collection Account during each Collection Period. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities under this Agreement (including taxes imposed on the Servicer and expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports made by the Servicer to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee). The Servicer shall be required to pay all of the Indenture Trustee’s fees, expenses, reimbursements and indemnifications.

 

Section 4.09 Servicer’s Certificate. The Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, and the Depositor, with a copy to each Rating Agency, on or before the second Business Day prior to each Payment Date a Servicer’s Certificate containing all information necessary to make the distributions to be made on the related Payment Date pursuant to Section 5.05 for the related Collection Period and such Servicer’s Certificate shall be certified by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer to the effect that the information provided is complete and no Servicer Termination Events have occurred. If any defaults have occurred, such Servicer’s Certificate will provide an explanation of such Servicer Termination Events. Receivables to be purchased by the Servicer or to be repurchased by the Seller and each Receivable that became a Liquidated Receivable shall be identified by the Servicer by account number with respect to such Receivable (as specified in the applicable Schedule of Receivables). At the sole option of the Servicer, each Servicer’s Certificate may be delivered in electronic or hard copy format.

Section 4.10 Annual Statement as to Compliance, Notice of Servicer Termination Event.

 

(a)          The Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, and each Rating Agency, within 120 days after the end of the Servicer’s fiscal year (or, in the case of the first such certificate, not later than April 30, 2013), an Officer’s Certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer, stating that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding 12-month period (or such shorter period in the case of the first such Officer’s Certificate) and of the performance of its obligations under this Agreement has been made under such officer’s supervision and (ii) to such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement throughout such period or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof.

 

(b)          The Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, and each Rating Agency, promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof, written notice in an Officer’s Certificate of any event that with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both would become a Servicer Termination Event under Section 8.01. Except to the extent set forth in this Section 4.10(b) and Sections 4.09 and 8.04 of this Agreement and Sections 3.07, 3.19 and 5.01 of the Indenture, the Basic Documents do not require any policies or procedures to monitor any performance or other triggers and events of default.

 

Section 4.11 Compliance with Regulation AB. The Servicer agrees to perform all duties and obligations applicable to or required of the Issuer set forth in Appendix A attached hereto and made a part hereof in all respects and makes the representations and warranties therein applicable to it.

 

Section 4.12 Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding Receivables. The Servicer shall provide to representatives of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Certificateholders reasonable access to the documentation regarding the Receivables and the related Trust property. The Servicer will provide such access to any Noteholder only in such cases where the Servicer shall be required by applicable statutes or regulations to permit a Noteholder to review such documentation. In each case, access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during the normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer. Nothing in this Section shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section.

 

Section 4.13 Term of Servicer. The Servicer hereby covenants and agrees to act as Servicer under, and for the term of, this Agreement, subject to the provisions of Sections 7.03 and 7.06.

Section 4.14 Annual Independent Accountants’ Report. For so long as the Issuer is subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, the Servicer shall cause a firm of independent certified public accountants, which may also render other services to the Servicer or its Affiliates, to deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, and each Rating Agency, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year (or, in the case of the first such report, not later than April 30, 2013), a report addressed to the Board of Directors of the Servicer, the Owner Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee, to the effect that such firm has audited the books and records of the Servicer and issued its report thereon and that (a) such audit was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and accordingly included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as such firm considered necessary in the circumstances and (b) the firm is independent of the Depositor and the Servicer within the meaning of the Code of Professional Ethics of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

All such Eligible Investments shall be held by the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and/or the Certificateholders, as applicable. Unless the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied (other than with respect to Standard & Poor’s, but with satisfaction of the Rating Agency Notification with respect to Standard & Poor’s if Standard & Poor’s is rating any Outstanding Class of Notes) with respect to different investments, funds on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments that will mature so that such funds will be available on the Business Day preceding the next Payment Date. Funds deposited in the Reserve Account, upon the maturity of any Eligible Investments on a day which immediately precedes a Payment Date, are not required to be invested overnight.

(b)          (i)          Except as otherwise provided herein, the Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds received and all funds on deposit from time to time in the Trust Accounts and in all proceeds thereof.

If, at any time, a Trust Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Indenture Trustee (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall within ten (10) Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed 15 calendar days, as to which the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied (other than with respect to Standard & Poor’s, but with satisfaction of the Rating Agency Notification with respect to Standard & Poor’s if Standard & Poor’s is rating any Outstanding Class of Notes)) establish a new Trust Account as an Eligible Account and shall transfer any cash or any investments from the account that is no longer an Eligible Account to the Trust Account.

However, so long as the Monthly Remittance Condition is satisfied, the Servicer may retain such amounts received during a Collection Period until one Business Day prior to the related Payment Date. The “Monthly Remittance Condition” shall be deemed to be satisfied if (i) HCA or one of its Affiliates is the Servicer, (ii) no Servicer Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and (iii) HCA has a short-term debt rating of at least “Prime-1” from Moody’s and “A-1” from Standard & Poor’s. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer may remit Collections to the Collection Account on any other alternate remittance schedule (but not later than the Business Day prior to the related Payment Date) if the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied (other than with respect to Standard & Poor’s, but with satisfaction of the Rating Agency Notification with respect to Standard & Poor’s if Standard & Poor’s is rating any Outstanding Class of Notes), with respect to such alternate remittance schedule. Pending deposit into the Collection Account, Collections may be commingled and used by the Servicer at its own risk and are not required to be segregated from its own funds.

On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority, power, obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer under this Agreement automatically shall pass to, be vested in and become obligations and responsibilities of the successor Servicer; provided, however, that the successor Servicer shall have no liability with respect to any obligation that was required to be performed by the terminated Servicer prior to the date that the successor Servicer becomes the Servicer or any claim of a third party based on any alleged action or inaction of the terminated Servicer. The successor Servicer is authorized and empowered by this Agreement to execute and deliver, on behalf of the terminated Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the Receivables and related documents to show the Indenture Trustee (or the Owner Trustee if the Notes have been paid in full) as lienholder or secured party on the related certificates of title of the Financed Vehicles or otherwise. The terminated Servicer agrees to cooperate with the successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the terminated Servicer under this Agreement, including the transfer to the successor Servicer for administration by it of all money and property held by the Servicer with respect to the Receivables and other records relating to the Receivables, including any portion of the Receivables File held by the Servicer and a computer tape in readable form as of the most recent Business Day containing all information necessary to enable the successor Servicer to service the Receivables. The terminated Servicer shall also provide the successor Servicer access to Servicer personnel and computer records in order to facilitate the orderly and efficient transfer of servicing duties.

 

Section 8.03 Appointment of Successor Servicer.

 

(a)          On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 8.02 or upon the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.06, the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders evidencing more than 50% of the voting interests of the Controlling Class shall appoint a successor Servicer which shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement and shall be subject to all the rights, responsibilities, restrictions, duties, liabilities and termination provisions relating to the Servicer under this Agreement, except as otherwise stated herein. The Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and such successor Servicer shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. In the event that the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders are unable to appoint a successor within thirty (30) days of the date of the related notice of termination, the Indenture Trustee may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Servicer. If a successor Servicer is acting as Servicer hereunder, it shall be subject to termination under Section 8.02 upon the occurrence of any Servicer Termination Event after its appointment as successor Servicer. The original Servicer shall pay any and all fees and expenses incurred as a result of a transfer of servicing.

 

(b)          The Noteholders evidencing more than 50% of the voting interests of the Controlling Class shall have no liability to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer, the Depositor, any Noteholders, any Certificateholders or any other Person if they exercise their right to appoint a successor to the Servicer.

Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Termination Event arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement.
