Each Receivable shall constitute the genuine, legal, valid and binding payment obligation in writing of the related Obligor, enforceable by the holder thereof in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be subject to or limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and by general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability shall be considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

(v) No Bankrupt Obligors. According to the records of the Seller, as of the Cutoff Date, no Obligor is the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.

(vi) Security Interest in Financed Vehicles. According to the records of the Seller, as of the Cutoff Date, no Financed Vehicle has been repossessed and not reinstated and immediately prior to the sale, assignment and transfer thereof, all necessary steps shall be taken so that each Receivable shall be secured by a validly perfected first priority security interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of the Seller as secured party or all necessary and appropriate action with respect to such Receivable shall have been taken to perfect a first priority security interest in such Financed Vehicle in favor of the Seller as secured party.

Except for payment defaults continuing for a period of not more than 30 days as of the Cutoff Date, no default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Receivable shall have occurred and no continuing condition that with notice or the lapse of time would constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Receivable shall have arisen; and the Seller shall not have waived any of the foregoing except as otherwise permitted hereunder.

(xiii) Insurance. Pursuant to the Receivables, each Obligor has been required to obtain physical damage insurance covering the related Financed Vehicle and the Obligor is required under the terms of the related Receivable to maintain such insurance.

(xiv) Good Title. It is the intention of the Seller that the transfer and assignment herein contemplated, taken as a whole, constitute a sale of the Receivables from the Seller to the Purchaser and that the beneficial interest in and title to the Receivables not be part of the debtor’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy law.

(xvi) All Filings Made. Both the Seller and the Purchaser, respectively, have caused or will have caused, within ten days of the Closing Date, the filing of all appropriate financing statements (including UCC filings) necessary in the appropriate jurisdictions under the applicable law to give the Indenture Trustee a first priority perfected ownership interest in the Receivables.

(xvii) One Original. There shall be only one original executed copy of each Receivable.

(xviii) Chattel Paper. Each Receivable constitutes “tangible chattel paper” as defined within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

(xix) Additional Representations and Warranties. (A) Each Receivable shall have an original maturity of at least 24 months and not more than 72 months and, as of the Cutoff Date, a remaining maturity of not less than 6 months nor greater than 69 months; (B) each Receivable shall provide for payment of a finance charge or shall yield interest calculated on the basis of an APR ranging from 0.50% to 23.24%; (C) each Receivable shall have had an original principal balance of not less than $2,954.13 nor more than $84,286.98 and, as of the Cutoff Date, all of the Receivables shall have an average unpaid principal balance of $16,462.30; (D) each Receivable was originated on or after March 19, 2007 and on or prior to August 29, 2012; (E) each Financed Vehicle shall be a new or used Honda or Acura motor vehicle (including automobiles and light-duty trucks); (F) the Obligor under each Receivable had a current billing address in the United States or its territories or possessions as of the Cutoff Date; and (G) no Receivable shall have a Scheduled Payment that is more than 30 days past due as of the Cutoff Date.

The agreements that constitute or evidence the Receivables do not have any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee (pursuant to and as provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture). All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Seller in favor of Purchaser and assigned to the Indenture Trustee 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 the Indenture Trustee.”

(xxi) No Forced Placed Insurance. No Finance Vehicle is subject to a force-placed Insurance Policy.

(b) Notice of Breach. The representations and warranties set forth in this Section shall speak as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, but shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the Purchaser and any subsequent assignment or transfer pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Purchaser, the Seller, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Delaware Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, shall inform the other parties promptly, in writing, upon discovery of any breach of the Seller’s representations and warranties pursuant to this Section which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders in any Receivable.

(c) Repurchase of Receivables. In the event of a breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Section 2.03(a) which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders in any Receivable and unless the breach shall have been cured by the last day of the second Collection Period following the Collection Period in which the discovery of the breach is made or notice is received, as the case may be (or, at the option of the Seller, the last day in the first Collection Period following the Collection Period in which such discovery is made), the Seller shall repurchase such Receivable. In consideration of the purchase of any such Receivable, the Seller shall remit an amount equal to the Warranty Purchase Payment in respect of such Receivable to the Purchaser and shall be entitled to receive the Released Warranty Amount. In the event that, as of the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement, any Liens or claims shall have been filed, including Liens for work, labor or materials relating to a Financed Vehicle, that shall be prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien granted by the related Receivable (whether or not the Seller has knowledge thereof), and such breach materially and adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders in such Receivable, the Seller shall repurchase such Receivable on the terms and in the manner specified above. Upon any such repurchase, the Purchaser shall, without further action, be deemed to transfer, assign, set-over and otherwise convey to the Seller, without recourse, representation or warranty, all the right, title and interest of the Purchaser in, to and under such repurchased Receivable, all monies due or to become due with respect thereto and all proceeds thereof. The Purchaser, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Delaware Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, shall execute such documents and instruments of transfer or assignment and take such other actions as shall reasonably be requested by the Seller to effect the conveyance of such Receivable pursuant to this Section. The sole remedy of the Purchaser, the Issuer, the Trustees or the Securityholders with respect to a breach of the Seller’s representations and warranties pursuant to Section 2.03(a) or with respect to the existence of any such Liens or claims shall be to require the Seller to repurchase the related Receivables pursuant to this Section.

Section 2.04 Covenants of the Seller. The Seller hereby covenants that:

(a) Security Interests. Except for the conveyances hereunder, the Seller will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any Receivable, whether now existing or hereafter created, or any interest therein; the Seller will immediately notify the Purchaser of the existence of any Lien on any Receivable and, in the event that the interests of the Noteholders in such Receivable are materially and adversely affected, such Receivable shall be repurchased from the Purchaser by the Seller in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 2.03(c), and the Seller shall defend the right, title and interest of the Purchaser in, to and under the Receivables, whether now existing or hereafter created, against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Seller; provided, however, that nothing in this subsection shall prevent or be deemed to prohibit the Seller from suffering to exist upon a Receivable any Lien for municipal or other local taxes if such taxes shall not at the time be due and payable or if the Seller shall currently be contesting the validity of such taxes in good faith by appropriate proceedings and shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto.

(b) Delivery of Payments. The Seller agrees to deliver in kind upon receipt to the Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement (if other than the Seller) all payments received by the Seller in respect of the Receivables as soon as practicable after receipt thereof by the Seller.

(c) No Impairment. The Seller shall take no action, nor omit to take any action, which would impair the rights of the Purchaser in any Receivable, nor shall it, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement, reschedule, revise or defer payments due on any Receivable.
