CONVEYANCE OF RECEIVABLES

Section 2.01 Conveyance of Receivables. In consideration of the Issuer’s delivery to or upon the order of the Depositor of cash, the Certificates and such other amounts to be distributed to the Depositor on the Closing Date, the Depositor does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Issuer, without recourse (subject to the obligations of the Depositor set forth herein), all right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to:

(a)            the Receivables and all moneys identified thereon after the Cutoff Date;

(b)            the security interests in the Financed Vehicles and any accessions thereto granted by Obligors pursuant to the Receivables and any other interest of the Depositor in such Financed Vehicles;

(c)            any Liquidation Proceeds and any other proceeds from claims on any physical damage, credit, life or disability insurance policies covering the Financed Vehicles or the related Obligors, including any vendor’s single interest or other collateral protection insurance policy;

(d)            any property that shall have secured a Receivable and shall have been acquired by or on behalf of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trust;

(e)            all documents and other items contained in the Receivable Files;

(2023-A Sale and Servicing Agreement)

The Depositor and the Issuer agree that the purchase price for the Conveyed Assets sold by the Depositor to the Issuer represents fair market value for the Conveyed Assets. It is the intention of the Depositor that the transfer and assignment contemplated by this Agreement shall constitute a sale of the Conveyed Assets from the Depositor to the Trust and the beneficial interest in and title to the Receivables and the related property shall not be part of the Depositor’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Depositor under any bankruptcy law. In the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the Depositor, the transfer and assignment contemplated hereby is held not to be a sale or is otherwise not effective to sell the Conveyed Assets, this Agreement shall constitute a grant by the Depositor to the Issuer of a security interest in all Conveyed Assets and all accounts, money, chattel paper, securities, instruments, documents, deposit accounts, uncertificated securities, general intangibles, contract rights, goods and other property consisting of, arising from or relating to such Conveyed Assets, for the benefit of the Securityholders.

ARTICLE III.

THE RECEIVABLES

Section 3.01 Representations and Warranties of the Seller.

(a)             The Seller has made each of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit A to the Receivables Purchase Agreement as to the Receivables and has consented to the assignment by the Depositor to the Issuer of the Depositor’s rights with respect thereto. Such representations and warranties speak as of the respective dates set forth therein, but shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the Issuer and the pledge of such Receivables to the Indenture Trustee. Pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Agreement, the Depositor has sold, assigned, transferred and conveyed to the Issuer, as part of the assets of the Issuer, its rights under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, including the representations and warranties of the Seller therein as set forth in Exhibit A to the Receivables Purchase Agreement as to the Receivables, upon which representations and warranties the Issuer relies in accepting the Receivables and delivering the Securities, together with all rights of the Depositor with respect to any breach thereof, including the right to require the Seller to repurchase Receivables in accordance with the Receivables Purchase Agreement. It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties referred to in this Section shall survive the sale and delivery of the Receivables to the Issuer.

(b)             The Seller hereby agrees that the Issuer shall have the right to enforce any and all rights under the Receivables Purchase Agreement assigned to the Issuer herein, including the right to cause the Seller to repurchase any Receivable with respect to which it is in breach of any of its representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit A to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, directly against the Seller as though the Issuer were a party to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, and the Issuer shall not be obligated to exercise any such rights indirectly through the Depositor.

Section 3.02 Perfection Representations and Warranties. If the transfer of the Conveyed Assets under this Agreement is determined to be a pledge relating to a financing or is determined not to be an absolute sale and assignment, the Depositor makes the following representations and warranties on which the Issuer is relying in purchasing the Conveyed Assets. The representations and warranties are made as of the Closing Date, but shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the Conveyed Assets by the Depositor to the Issuer and the pledge thereof to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture:

(2023-A Sale and Servicing Agreement)

(a)             This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Conveyed Assets in favor of the Issuer, which security interest is prior to all other Liens other than Permitted Liens and any Lien that will be released prior to the assignment hereunder, and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from the Depositor.

(b)             Each Receivable constitutes either “tangible chattel paper” or “electronic chattel paper” within the meaning of the UCC as in effect in the state of origination.

(c)             Immediately upon the transfer thereof from the Depositor to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement, the Issuer shall have good and marketable title to each Receivable, free and clear of any Liens other than permitted liens and any Lien that will be released prior to the assignment hereunder.

(d)             The Depositor has caused, or will have caused, within ten days of the Closing Date, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdiction under the applicable UCC in order to perfect the security interest in the Conveyed Assets granted to the Issuer under this Agreement.

(e)             Other than the security interest granted to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement, the Depositor has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Receivables. The Depositor has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Depositor that include a description of collateral describing the Receivables other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Issuer under this Agreement. The Depositor is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Depositor.

(f)             The Contracts 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 Issuer, except for such marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed (i) to the Depositor or the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the Basic Documents or (ii) to HCA in accordance with Dealer Agreements. All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Depositor in favor of the Issuer in connection with this Agreement describing the Receivables contain a statement to the following effect: “A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement, except as provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, will violate the rights of the Issuer.”

Section 3.03 Repurchase upon Breach. If the Seller discovers, or is notified by a Requesting Party with a Repurchase Request regarding, a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.02(b) to the Receivables Purchase Agreement at the time such representations and warranties were made, the Seller will investigate the Receivable to confirm the breach and determine if the breach triggers a Repurchase Event. Following a Repurchase Event, the Seller shall either (a) correct or cure such breach or (b) purchase any Receivable materially and adversely affected by such breach from the Issuer, in either case on or before the Payment Date following the end of the Collection Period which includes the 60^th day (or, if the Seller elects, an earlier Payment Date) after the date that the Seller became aware of or was notified of and confirmed such breach. Any such breach or failure will be deemed not to materially and adversely affect the Noteholders or the Issuer if such breach or failure does not affect the ability of the Issuer or the Noteholders to receive and retain timely payment in full on such Receivable. Any such purchase by the Seller shall be at a price equal to the Purchased Amount. In consideration for such repurchase, the Seller 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 the Business Day preceding the Payment Date of repurchase (or, if the Seller elects, an earlier Payment Date). Upon payment of such Purchased Amount by the Seller, 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 Seller or its designee any Receivable repurchased pursuant hereto. It is understood and agreed that the right to cause the Seller to purchase (or to enforce the obligations of Seller under the Receivables Purchase Agreement to purchase) any Receivable as described above shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the Issuer, the Noteholders, the Owner Trustee, the Certificateholders and the Indenture Trustee. Neither the Owner Trustee nor the Indenture Trustee will have any duty to conduct an affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase of any Receivable pursuant to this Section 3.03.

(2023-A Sale and Servicing Agreement)

ARTICLE IV.

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES

Section 4.01 Duties of Servicer. The Servicer, for the benefit of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, shall manage, service, administer and make collections on the Receivables and perform the other actions required of the Servicer under this Agreement. The Servicer shall service the Receivables in accordance with its customary servicing practices, using the degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to all other comparable motor vehicle receivables that it services for itself and others. The Servicer’s duties shall include the collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors, investigating delinquencies, sending payment statements to Obligors, reporting any required tax information to Obligors, monitoring the Collateral, accounting for collections, furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee with respect to distributions and performing the other duties specified herein. The Servicer also shall administer and enforce all rights of the holder of the Receivables under the Receivables and the Dealer Agreements to the extent and in a manner consistent with its customary practices. To the extent consistent with the standards, policies and procedures otherwise required hereby and the Credit and Collection Policy, the Servicer shall follow its customary standards, policies and procedures and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with the managing, servicing, administration and collection of the Receivables that it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject to Section 4.02, the Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholders and the Noteholders, or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments with respect to the Receivables and with respect to the Financed Vehicles. The Servicer is not required under the Basic Documents to make any disbursements via wire transfer or otherwise on behalf of an Obligor. There are no requirements under the Receivable or the Basic Documents for funds to be, and no funds shall be, held in trust for an Obligor. No payments or disbursements shall be made by the Servicer on behalf of an Obligor. The Servicer is hereby authorized to commence, in its own name or in the name of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders, a legal proceeding to enforce a Receivable pursuant to Section 4.03 or to commence or participate in any other legal proceeding (including a bankruptcy proceeding) relating to or involving a Receivable, an Obligor or a Financed Vehicle. 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. The Servicer shall include the disclosures required by Rule 4(c)(2)(Ii) and (iii) contained in Regulation RR, 17 C.F.R. §246.4, et seq. in the first Servicer’s Certificate after the Closing Date.

(2023-A Sale and Servicing Agreement)

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.

(2023-A Sale and Servicing Agreement)

(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.

(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.

(2023-A Sale and Servicing Agreement)

Section 4.04 [Reserved].

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. For the avoidance of doubt, the Servicer may, in accordance with its customary servicing practices, (i) maintain all or a portion of the Receivable Files in electronic form and (ii) maintain custody of all or any portion of the Receivable Files with one or more of its agents or designees.

(2023-A Sale and Servicing Agreement)

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 delivery of a Servicer’s Certificate shall be deemed to constitute prompt written notice thereof to the other party; provided, further, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect any obligation of the Servicer under this Section 4.07. Following a breach described in the preceding sentence, the Servicer shall either (a) correct or cure such breach or (b) purchase any Receivable materially and adversely affected by such breach from the Issuer, in either case on or before the Payment Date following the end of the Collection Period which includes the 60^th day (or, if the Servicer elects, an earlier Payment Date) after the date that the Servicer became aware or was notified of such breach. Any such breach or failure will be deemed not to materially and adversely affect the Noteholders or the Issuer if such breach or failure does not affect the ability of the Issuer or the Noteholders to receive and retain timely payment in full on such Receivable. 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 the Business Day preceding such Payment Date (or, if the Servicer elects, an earlier 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 on amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and the Reserve 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. At the sole option of the Servicer, each Servicer’s Certificate may be delivered in electronic or hard copy format. Such Servicer’s Certificate as described in this section shall be in substantially the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B.

(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 B 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.

(2023-A Sale and Servicing Agreement)

For so long as the Issuer is subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, on or before March 30th of each year, beginning March 30, 2024, 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 and the Indenture Trustee, a report regarding the Servicer’s assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria during the immediately preceding fiscal year, as required under Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB. The certification required by this paragraph may be replaced by any similar certification using other procedures or certification standards which are now or in the future in use by servicers of comparable assets, or which otherwise comply with any rule, regulation, “no action” letter or similar guidance promulgated by the Commission.

(b)            except as otherwise expressly provided in the Indenture, reimburse the Indenture Trustee or any Separate Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Indenture Trustee or Separate Trustee, as the case may be, in accordance with any provision of the Indenture (including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith;

Section 5.01 Accounts.

(a)            (i) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Servicer shall establish, or cause to be established, an account with and in the name of the Indenture Trustee (the “Collection Account”), which shall be maintained as an Eligible Account and shall bear a designation clearly indicating that the amounts deposited thereto are held for the benefit of the Noteholders.

(ii) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, for the benefit of the Issuer and the Noteholders an Eligible Account (the “Reserve Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held in trust for the benefit of the Issuer and the Noteholders.

(iii) Funds on deposit in the Reserve Account, shall be invested by the Indenture Trustee in Eligible Investments selected in writing by the Servicer; provided, however, that if the Servicer fails to select any Eligible Investment for any funds on deposit in the Reserve Account by 2:00 p.m., New York City time (or such other time as may be agreed by the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee), on any Business Day, such funds shall, to the fullest extent practicable, be invested in Eligible Investments in accordance with standing instructions most recently given by the Servicer. All such Eligible Investments shall be held by the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders, the Certificateholders and the Issuer. Unless the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied (other than with respect to S&P, but with satisfaction of the Rating Agency Notification with respect to S&P if S&P 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. Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account, net of losses and investment expenses, shall be released to the Servicer on each Payment Date and shall be property of the Servicer. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Basic Document, funds on deposit in the Reserve Account shall only be invested in Eligible Investments deemed to be “cash equivalents” for purposes of 17 CFR Part 246.4(b)(2) of Regulation RR, as determined by the Servicer. Neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Owner Trustee shall have any obligation to determine whether the establishment and maintenance of the Reserve Account satisfies the requirements of 17 CFR Part 246.4(b)(2) of Regulation RR, including whether any investment of funds on deposit in the Reserve Account meet the requirements of 17 CFR Part 246.4(b)(2) of Regulation RR, and shall be entitled to conclusively rely on direction by the Servicer in connection therewith.

(2023-A Sale and Servicing Agreement)

(iv) Funds on deposit in the Collection Account shall be invested by the Indenture Trustee in Eligible Investments selected in writing by the Servicer; provided, however, that if the Servicer fails to select any Eligible Investments for any funds on deposit in the Collection Account by 2:00 p.m., New York City time (or such other time as may be agreed by the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee), on any Business Day, such funds shall, to the fullest extent practicable, be invested in Eligible Investments in accordance with standing instructions most recently given by the Servicer. 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 S&P, but with satisfaction of the Rating Agency Notification with respect to S&P if S&P is rating any Outstanding Class of Notes) with respect to different investments, funds on deposit in the Collection 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. Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, net of losses and investment expenses, shall be released to the Servicer on each Payment Date and shall be the property of the Servicer.

(v) Except as otherwise provided hereunder or agreed in writing among the parties hereto, the Servicer shall retain the authority to institute, participate and join in any plan of reorganization, readjustment, merger or consolidation with respect to the issuer of any securities held in the Collection Account or the Reserve Account, and, in general, to exercise each and every other power or right with respect to each such asset or investment as individuals generally have and enjoy with respect to their own assets and investment, including power to vote upon any securities.

(b)            (i) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds identified and all funds on deposit from time to time in the Trust Accounts and in all proceeds thereof. The Trust Accounts (other than the Reserve Account) shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders, as the case may be. The Reserve Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer, which such Reserve Account has been pledged by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders. 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 S&P, but with satisfaction of the Rating Agency Notification with respect to S&P if S&P 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. Neither the Servicer nor the Indenture Trustee shall in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in any Trust Account resulting from any investment loss in any Eligible Investment.

(ii) The Servicer shall have the power, revocable by the Indenture Trustee or by the Owner Trustee with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, to instruct the Indenture Trustee in writing to make withdrawals and payments from the Trust Accounts and the Certificate Distribution Account for the purpose of withdrawing any amounts deposited in error into such accounts.

(2023-A Sale and Servicing Agreement)

(c)             Except for the Collection Account, the Reserve Account and the Certificate Distribution Account, there are no accounts required to be maintained under the Basic Documents. No checks shall be issued, printed or honored with respect to the Collection Account or the Reserve Account.

Section 5.02 Application of Collections. All payments identified from or on behalf of an Obligor during each Collection Period with respect to each Receivable (other than a Purchased Receivable) shall be applied to interest and principal in accordance with the Simple Interest Method. The Servicer shall make all deposits of Collections and other Available Amounts identified into the Collection Account on the second Business Day following identification thereof. However, so long as the Monthly Remittance Condition is satisfied, the Servicer may retain such amounts identified 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 “F1” from Fitch and “A-1” from S&P. 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 S&P, but with satisfaction of the Rating Agency Notification with respect to S&P if S&P 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.

Section 5.03 Property of the Trust. All payments and other proceeds of any type and from any source on or with respect to the Receivables shall be the property of the Trust, subject to the Lien of the Indenture and the rights of the Indenture Trustee thereunder.

All such deposits with respect to any such date which is a Payment Date shall be made in immediately available funds on or before the Business Day preceding such Payment Date. The Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the Collection Account, on the date specified in Section 9.01, (i) the aggregate Purchased Amount with respect to all Receivables pursuant to the Servicer’s exercise of the Optional Purchase, less (ii) the amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account on the date of such Optional Purchase. Notice of this amount shall be provided in writing by the applicable party to the Indenture Trustee.

Notwithstanding the other provisions of this clause (e), in the event that the Servicer exercises its right to an Optional Purchase pursuant to Section 9.01, the Indenture Trustee shall, upon written directions from the Servicer, withdraw any remaining amount on deposit in the Reserve Account and deposit such amounts into the Collection Account no later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business Day prior to the date of the Optional Purchase.

In connection with providing access to the Indenture Trustee’s website, the Indenture Trustee may require registration and the acceptance of certain terms and conditions.

The Depositor is duly qualified to do business as a foreign limited liability company in good standing, and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals, in all jurisdictions where the failure to do so would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the Depositor’s ability to transfer the Receivables to the Trust pursuant to this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of the Receivables.

(c)            Power and Authority. The Depositor has the power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which it is a party and to carry out their respective terms; the Depositor has full power and authority to sell and assign the property to be sold and assigned to and deposited with the Issuer, and the Depositor shall have duly authorized such sale and assignment to the Issuer by all necessary limited liability company action; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which the Depositor is a party have been and will be duly authorized by the Depositor by all necessary limited liability company action.

The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which the Depositor is a party and the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Basic Documents do not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms or provisions of or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) a default under, the limited liability company agreement of the Depositor, or any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it is bound, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement or other instrument (other than this Agreement and the other Basic Documents), or violate any law or, to the Depositor’s knowledge any order, rule or regulation applicable to the Depositor of any court or of any federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Depositor or its properties. There shall be no breach of the representations and warranties in this paragraph resulting from any of the foregoing breaches, violations, Liens or other matters which, individually or in the aggregate, would not materially and adversely affect the Depositor’s ability to perform its obligations under the Basic Documents or the consummation of the transactions as contemplated by the Basic Documents.

The Receivables will not be considered part of the Depositor’s estate in the event of a bankruptcy of the Depositor. This Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which the Depositor is a party, when duly executed and delivered by the other parties hereto and thereto, shall constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Depositor, enforceable against the Depositor in accordance with their respective terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity (whether applied in a proceeding at law or in equity).

(g)            No Consents. The Depositor is not required to obtain the consent of any other party or any consent, license, approval, registration, authorization, or declaration of or with any governmental authority, bureau or agency in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Basic Document to which it is a party that has not already been obtained, other than (i) UCC filings and (ii) consents, licenses, approvals, registrations, authorizations or declarations which, if not obtained or made, would not have a material adverse effect on the enforceability or collectibility of the Receivables or would not materially and adversely affect the ability of the Depositor to perform its obligations under the Basic Documents.

(b)            The Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, by entering into or accepting this Agreement, acknowledge and agree that they have no right, title or interest in or to the Other Assets of the Depositor.

It shall be a condition precedent to any of the foregoing transactions that (1) the Rating Agency Condition shall be satisfied (other than with respect to S&P, but with satisfaction of the Rating Agency Notification with respect to S&P if S&P is rating any Outstanding Class of Notes) with respect to such merger, consolidation or succession shall not result in a reduction, withdrawal or downgrade of the then-current rating of each class of Notes and (2) the organizational documents of the surviving entity shall contain bankruptcy remoteness protections that are not materially less favorable to the Noteholders than those contained in the limited liability company agreement of the Depositor.

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.

Pending appointment pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the outgoing Servicer shall continue to act as Servicer until a successor has been appointed and accepted such appointment.

(c)            Upon appointment, the successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the predecessor Servicer and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities arising thereafter relating thereto placed on the predecessor Servicer, and shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee and all the rights granted to the predecessor Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

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.

“Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark (including the daily published component used in the calculation thereof):

(1)            a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the Benchmark (or such component) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark (or such component), permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark (or such component); or
