RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Depositor desires to purchase a portfolio of receivables and related property consisting of motor vehicle installment loan contracts originated by the Seller in the ordinary course of its business;
WHEREAS, the Seller and the Depositor wish to set forth the terms pursuant to which such portfolio of receivables and related property are to be sold by the Seller to the Depositor; and
WHEREAS, the Depositor intends, concurrently with its purchase hereunder, to convey all of its right, title and interest in and to all of such portfolio of receivables and related property to USAA Auto Owner Trust 2007-2, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Issuer”) pursuant to a Sale and Servicing Agreement dated as of October 4, 2007 (the “Sale and Servicing Agreement”), by and among the Issuer, the Depositor and USAA Federal Savings Bank, as Seller and Servicer, and the Issuer intends to pledge all of its right, title and interest in and to such portfolio of receivables and related property to The Bank of New York, as Indenture Trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”) pursuant to the Indenture dated as of October 4, 2007 (the “Indenture”), by and between the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, other good and valuable consideration and the mutual terms and covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Article I
Interpretation
Section 1.01. Definitions and Usage. Except as otherwise specified herein or as the context may otherwise require, capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein are defined in Appendix A to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, which also contains rules as to usage that shall be applicable herein.
Article II
Conveyance of Receivables
Section 2.01. Conveyance of Receivables.
(a) In consideration of the Depositor’s delivery to or upon the order of the Seller on the Closing Date of $1,329,862,820.83 (the “Purchase Price”) in the form of cash and
delivery to or upon the order of the Seller of the Class A-1 Notes and the Class B Notes, the Seller does hereby irrevocably sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Depositor, without recourse (subject to the obligations of the Seller set forth herein) all right, title, and interest of the Seller, whether now or hereinafter acquired, in and to the Trust Property.
(b) The transfer, assignment and conveyance made hereunder shall not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by the Depositor of any obligation of the Seller to the Obligors or any other Person in connection with the Receivables and the other Trust Property or any agreement, document or instrument related thereto.
(c) The Seller and the Depositor intend that the transfer of assets by the Seller to the Depositor pursuant to this Agreement be a sale of the ownership interest in such assets to the Depositor, rather than the mere granting of a security interest to secure a borrowing. In the event, however, that such transfer is deemed not to be a sale but to be the grant of a security interest to secure a borrowing, the Seller shall be deemed to have hereby granted to the Depositor a security interest in all accounts, money, chattel paper, securities, instruments, documents, deposit accounts, certificates of deposit, letters of credit, advices of credit, banker’s acceptances, uncertificated securities, general intangibles, contract rights, goods and other property consisting of, arising from or relating to such Trust Property, which security interest shall be perfected and of first priority, and this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. Pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement and Section 7.04 hereof, the Depositor may sell, transfer and assign to the Issuer (i) all or any portion of the assets assigned to the Depositor hereunder, (ii) all or any portion of the Depositor’s rights against the Seller under this Agreement and (iii) all proceeds thereof. Such assignment may be made by the Depositor with or without an assignment by the Depositor of its rights under this Agreement, and without further notice to or acknowledgement from the Seller. The Seller waives, to the extent permitted under applicable law, all claims, causes of action and remedies, whether legal or equitable (including any right of setoff), against the Depositor or any assignee of the Depositor relating to such action by the Depositor in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
Section 2.02. The Closing. The sale and purchase of the Trust Property shall take place at a closing at the office of Xxxxx Xxxxx LLP, Chicago, Illinois on the Closing Date, simultaneously with the closing under (a) the Sale and Servicing Agreement, (b) the Indenture and (c) the Trust Agreement.

Upon discovery by or notice to the Depositor or Seller of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.02(b) at the time such representations and warranties were made which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer or the Noteholders, the party discovering such breach or receiving such notice shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other party; provided, that delivery of the Servicer’s Certificate, which identifies that Receivables are being or have been repurchased, shall be deemed to constitute prompt notice by the Seller (if the Seller is the Servicer) of such breach; provided, further, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect any obligation of Seller hereunder. If Seller does not correct or cure such breach prior to the end of the Collection Period which includes the 60th day (or, if Seller elects, an earlier date) after the date that Seller became aware or was notified of such breach, then Seller shall purchase any Receivable materially and adversely affected by such breach from the Depositor on the Payment Date following the end of such Collection Period. Any such breach or failure will not be deemed to have a material and adverse effect if such breach or failure does not affect the ability of the Depositor (or its assignee) to collect, receive and retain timely payment in full on such Receivable, including any Liquidation Proceeds. Any such purchase by Seller shall be at a price equal to the Purchase Amount (less any Liquidation Proceeds deposited, or to be deposited, in the Collection Account with respect to such Receivable pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement). In consideration for such repurchase, Seller shall make (or shall cause to be made) a payment to the Depositor equal to the Purchase Amount (less any Liquidation Proceeds deposited, or to be deposited, in the Collection Account, with respect to such Receivables, pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement) by depositing such amount into the Collection Account prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time on such Payment Date. Upon payment of such Purchase Amount (less any Liquidation Proceeds deposited, or to be deposited, in the Collection Account, with respect to such Receivables, pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement) by Seller, the Depositor 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 Seller or its designee any Receivable repurchased pursuant hereto. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of Seller to purchase any Receivable as described above shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the Depositor.

The Seller shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold the Depositor, the Issuer and their respective assigns and their employees, officers, directors and agents harmless from and against all losses, liabilities, claims and damages of every kind and character, including any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred, as incurred, resulting from or relating to or arising out of (i) the inaccuracy, nonfulfillment or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Seller in this Agreement, (ii) any legal action, including, without limitation, any counterclaim, that has either been settled by the litigants or has proceeded to judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, in either case to the extent it is based upon alleged facts that, if true, would constitute a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Seller in this Agreement, (iii) any actions or omissions of the Seller occurring prior to the Transfer Date with respect to any of the Receivables or Financed Vehicles or (iv) any failure of a Receivable to be originated in compliance with all applicable requirements of law. These indemnity obligations shall be in addition to any obligation that the Seller may otherwise have.
Article VI
Indemnification
Section 6.01. Indemnification.
(a) The Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, each of its respective directors, each officer of the Depositor who signed the Registration Statement, and each person or entity who controls the Depositor or any such person, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint and several, to which the Depositor, or any such person or entity may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, and will reimburse the Depositor, and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Depositor or such controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claims, damages or liabilities insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact made by the Seller contained in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement or Prospectus Supplement or any amendment or supplement to the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement or Prospectus Supplement or the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement or Prospectus Supplement or any amendment or supplement to the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement or Prospectus Supplement, in the light of the circumstance under which they were made, not misleading, but, in each case, only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission relates to the information contained in the Prospectus Supplement under the captions: “Summary of Terms of the Notes—Composition of the Receivables”; “Risk Factors”; and “The Receivables Pool”; and in the Base Prospectus under the caption “The Bank’s Portfolio of Motor Vehicle Loans” (such information, the “Seller Information”). This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Seller may otherwise have to the Depositor or any Affiliate thereof pursuant to Section 5.04 of this Agreement or otherwise.
(b) The Depositor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller and each Person who controls the Seller within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act against any
12
and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint and several, to which the Seller, or any such person or entity may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, and will reimburse the Seller and each such controlling Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Seller or such controlling Person in connection with investigating or defending any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus or the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus Supplement, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission relates to the information contained in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus other than the Seller Information. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Depositor may otherwise have.
(c) Promptly after receipt by any indemnified party under this Article VI of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Article VI, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Article VI except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure; provided, further, that the failure to notify any indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Article VI.
If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this Article VI for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.
Any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless: (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the indemnifying party in writing; (ii) such indemnified party shall have been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party and in the reasonable
13
judgment of such counsel it is appropriate for such indemnified party to employ separate counsel; or (iii) the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such action and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, in which case, if such indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party, it being understood, however, the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to local counsel) at any time for all such indemnified parties, which firm shall be designated in writing by the Depositor, if the indemnified parties under this Article VI consist of the Depositor, or by the Seller, if the indemnified parties under this Article VI consist of the Seller.
Each indemnified party, as a condition of the indemnity agreements contained in Section 6.01(a) and (b), shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the indemnifying party in the defense of any such action or claim. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.
Section 6.02. Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in this Article VI is for any reason held to be unenforceable although applicable in accordance with its terms, the Seller, on the one hand, and the Depositor, on the other, shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by said indemnity agreement incurred by the Seller and the Depositor in such proportions as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Seller on the one hand and the Depositor on the other from the sale of the Receivables such that the Depositor is responsible for that portion represented by the underwriting discount set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus Supplement, and the Seller shall be responsible for the balance; provided, however, that no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 6.02, each Person, if any, who controls the Depositor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Depositor and each Person, if any, who controls the Seller within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Seller. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.02 to the contrary, the Depositor shall not be required to contribute an amount in excess of the amount of the underwriting discount appearing on the cover page of the Prospectus Supplement.

Article VII
Miscellaneous Provisions
Section 7.01. Obligations of Seller. The obligations of the Seller under this Agreement shall not be affected by reason of any invalidity, illegality or irregularity of any Receivable.
Section 7.02. Transfers Intended as Sale; Security Interest.
(a) Each of the parties hereto expressly intends and agrees that the transfers contemplated and effected under this Agreement are complete and absolute sales and contributions rather than pledges or assignments of only a security interest and shall be given effect as such for accounting and all other purposes. It is further the intention of the parties hereto that the Receivables and related Trust Property shall not be part of Seller’s estate in the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of Seller. The sales and transfers by Seller of the Receivables and related Trust Property hereunder are and shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty (express or implied) by, Seller, except as otherwise specifically provided herein. The limited rights of recourse specified herein against Seller are intended to provide a remedy for breach of representations and warranties relating to the condition of the property sold, rather than to the collectibility of the Receivables.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Receivables and other Trust Property are held to be property of Seller, or if for any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create indebtedness or a security interest in the Receivables and other Trust Property, then it is intended that:
(i) This Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York UCC and the UCC of any other applicable jurisdiction;
(ii) The conveyance provided for in Section 2.01 shall be deemed to be a grant by Seller of, and Seller hereby grants to the Depositor, a security interest in all of its right (including the power to convey title thereto), title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the Receivables and other Trust Property, to secure such indebtedness and the performance of the obligations of Seller hereunder;
(iii) The possession by the Depositor or its agent of the Receivable Files and any other property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” or possession by the purchaser or a person designated by such purchaser, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the New York UCC and the UCC of any other applicable jurisdiction; and
(iv) Notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Depositor for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.
15
Section 7.03. Transfer to the Issuer. The Seller acknowledges and agrees that (1) the Depositor will, pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, transfer and assign the Receivables and assign its rights under this Agreement with respect thereto to the Issuer and, pursuant to the Indenture, the Issuer will pledge the Receivables to the Indenture Trustee, and (2) the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the rights of the Depositor under this Agreement, including under Section 3.03, are intended to benefit the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the Certificateholder. The Seller hereby consents to such transfers and assignments and agrees that enforcement of a right or remedy hereunder by the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or the Issuer shall have the same force and effect as if the right or remedy had been enforced or executed by the Depositor.
Section 7.04. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended from time to time, with prior written notice to the Rating Agencies, but without the consent of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders, by a written amendment duly executed and delivered by the Seller and the Depositor, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of Noteholders or Certificateholders; provided that (i) such amendment shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel or an Officer’s Certificate, materially and adversely affect the interest of any Noteholder or Certificateholder and (ii) the person requesting the amendment obtains a letter from the Rating Agencies stating that the amendment would not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the ratings then assigned to the Notes. This Agreement may also be amended by the Seller and the Depositor, with the prior written notice to the Rating Agencies and the prior written consent of (a) the Holders of Notes evidencing at least a majority of (i) the Outstanding principal amount of the Class A-1 Notes, (ii) the Outstanding principal amount of the Class A-2 Notes, (iii) the Outstanding principal amount of the Class A-3 Notes, (iv) the Outstanding principal amount of the Class A-4 Notes and (v) the Outstanding principal amount of the Class B Notes, and (b) the Certificateholders of Certificates evidencing at least a majority of the Percentage Interests (excluding, for purposes of this Section 7.04, Certificates held by the Seller, the Depositor or any of their respective Affiliates) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment may (i) increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, collections of payments on Receivables or distributions that shall be required to be made for the benefit of any Noteholders or Certificateholders or (ii) reduce the aforesaid majority requirement that is required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all the outstanding Notes and Certificates.
Section 7.05. Waivers. No failure or delay on the part of the Depositor, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in exercising any power, right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy.
