ARTICLE IV.
COVENANTS OF SELLERS
SECTION 4.1 Liens in Force. The Financed Vehicle securing each
--------------
Receivable shall not be released by the related Seller in whole or in part from
the security interest granted under the related Receivable, except upon payment
in full of the Receivable or as otherwise contemplated herein or the Transaction
Documents and the related Seller shall not take or permit any action
inconsistent with the foregoing. SECTION 4.2 No Impairment. The related Seller
shall do nothing to impair the rights of the Purchaser or the Secured Parties in
the Receivables, the Dealer Agreements, the Dealer Assignments, the Insurance
Policies or any other property or interest comprising the Other Conveyed
Property.
SECTION 4.3 No Amendments. The Sellers shall not take or permit
-------------
any action to extend or otherwise amend the terms of any Receivable, except in
accordance with the Transaction Documents.
SECTION 4.4 Restrictions on Liens. The Sellers shall not: (i)
---------------------
create or incur or agree to create or incur, or consent to cause (upon the
happening of a contingency or otherwise) the creation, incurrence or existence
of any Lien or restriction on transferability of the Receivables or of any Other
Conveyed Property except for the Lien in favor of the Purchaser and the
Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties as assignee thereof, and the
restrictions on transferability imposed by this Agreement or (ii) sign or file
under the Uniform Commercial Code (the "UCC") of any jurisdiction any financing
statement or sign any security agreement authorizing any secured party
thereunder to file such financing statement, with respect to the Receivables or
to any Other Conveyed Property, except in each case any such instrument solely
securing the rights and preserving the Lien of the Purchaser and the Collateral
Agent as assignee thereof. The Sellers will take no action to cause any
Receivable to be evidenced by an instrument (as such term is defined in the
relevant UCC).
SECTION 4.5 Preservation of Collateral. The Sellers will do,
--------------------------
execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged
and delivered, such instruments of transfer or take such other steps or actions
as may be necessary, or required by the Purchaser or the Collateral Agent or the
Note Insurer, to effect the Conveyance, to perfect the security interest granted
in the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property to the Collateral Agent on
behalf of the Secured Parties, to ensure that such Conveyance and security
interest ranks prior to all other Liens and to preserve the priority of such
Conveyance and security interest and the validity and enforceability thereof.
SECTION 4.6 Transfers Treated as Sales. Each Seller agrees to
--------------------------
treat each transfer for all purposes other than federal income tax purposes (but
including, without limitation, financial accounting purposes) as a sale on all
relevant books, records, financial statements and other applicable documents;
for federal income tax purposes, the parties hereto intend the contribution of
Receivables by the Sellers to the Purchaser to be characterized as a
contribution of property to a partnership in exchange for an interest in the
partnership in which
8
no gain or loss shall be recognized pursuant to Section 721(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In the event that, notwithstanding the intent
of each Seller, the transfer and assignment contemplated hereby is not held to
be a sale, each Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a security interest in the
Receivables and Other Conveyed Property described in each Supplement.
ARTICLE V.
REPURCHASES
SECTION 5.1 Repurchase of Receivables Upon Breach of Warranty.
-------------------------------------------------
Upon the occurrence of a Repurchase Event, AFS shall (unless the breach which is
the subject of such Repurchase Event shall have been cured in all material
respects by the last day of the second Settlement Period after such breach),
repurchase the Receivable relating thereto (whether or not it was the Seller
thereof) from the Purchaser and, simultaneously with the repurchase of the
Receivable, AFS shall deposit the Purchase Amount in full, without deduction or
offset, to the Collection Account, pursuant to Section 2.7(b) of the Security
Agreement. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of AFS to repurchase
any Receivable, as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing, shall, if
such obligation is fulfilled, constitute the sole remedy against AFS or AMTN for
such breach available to Purchaser, the Note Insurer or the Collateral Agent on
behalf of the Secured Parties except as otherwise specified in the Insurance
Agreement. The provisions of this Section 5.1 are intended to grant the
Collateral Agent and the Note Insurer a direct right against AFS to demand
performance hereunder, and in connection therewith, AFS waives any requirement
of prior demand against Purchaser with respect to such repurchase obligation.
Any such repurchase shall take place in the manner specified in Section 2.7 of
the Servicing and Custodian Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement or the Servicing and Custodian Agreement to the contrary, the
obligation of AFS under this Section shall not terminate upon a termination of
AFS as Servicer under the Servicing and Custodian Agreement and shall be
performed in accordance with the terms hereof notwithstanding the failure of the
Servicer or Purchaser to perform any of their respective obligations with
respect to such Receivable under the Servicing and Custodian Agreement.
SECTION 5.2 Reassignment of Purchased Receivables. Upon deposit
-------------------------------------
in the Collection Account of the Purchase Amount of any Receivable repurchased
by AFS under Section 5.1 hereof or Section 2.7 of the Servicing and Custodian
Agreement, Purchaser (at AFS's expense) shall take such steps as may be
reasonably requested by AFS in order to assign to AFS all of Purchaser's and the
Collateral Agent's right, title and interest in and to such Receivable and all
security and documents and all Other Conveyed Property conveyed to Purchaser and
the Collateral Agent directly relating thereto, without recourse, representation
or warranty, except as to the absence of Liens created by or arising as a result
of actions of Purchaser or the Collateral Agent. Such assignment shall be a sale
and assignment outright, and not for security. If, following the reassignment of
a Purchased Receivable, in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding, it is held
that AFS may not enforce any such Receivable on the ground that it shall not be
a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Receivable,
Purchaser and the Collateral Agent shall, at the expense of AFS, take such steps
as AFS deems reasonably
9
necessary to enforce the Receivable, including bringing suit in Purchaser's or
in the Collateral Agent's name.
SECTION 5.3 Waivers. No failure or delay on the part of Purchaser, or
-------
the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties as assignee of Purchaser,
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 future exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other power, right or remedy.
ARTICLE VI.

and/or contribution of Receivables shall be subject to the conditions precedent

had not previously been given in connection with this facility as to the
10

Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties. In furtherance of the foregoing,
