ARTICLE IV.
COVENANTS OF SELLER
SECTION 4.1 Protection of Title of Purchaser.
--------------------------------
(a) At or prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall have filed or
caused to be filed UCC-1 financing statements, naming Seller as seller or
debtor, naming Purchaser as purchaser or secured party and describing the
Receivables and the other property being sold by it to Purchaser as
collateral, with the office of the District of Columbia Recorder of Deeds
and the State Corporation Commission of the Commonwealth of Virginia. From
time to time thereafter, Seller shall file such financing statements and
cause to be filed such continuation statements, all in such manner and in
such places as may be required by law fully to preserve, maintain and
protect the interest of Purchaser under this Agreement, of the Issuer under
the Sale and Servicing Agreement and of the Indenture Trustee under the
Indenture in the Receivables and in the proceeds thereof. Seller shall
deliver (or cause to be delivered) to Purchaser, Issuer and the Indenture
Trustee file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed
as provided above, as soon as available following such filing. In the event
that Seller fails to perform its obligations under this subsection,
Purchaser, Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may do so, at the expense of
such Seller. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Seller hereby authorizes
the Purchaser, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee to file a record or
records (as defined in the applicable UCC), including, without limitation,
financing statements, in all jurisdictions and with all filing offices as
each may determine, in its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable to
perfect the security interest granted to the Purchaser pursuant to Section
2.1 of this Agreement. Such financing statements may describe the
collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an
indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any
other manner as such party may determine, in its sole discretion, is
necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security
interest in the collateral granted to the Purchaser herein.
(b) Seller shall not change its name or identity in any manner that
would, could or might make any financing statement or continuation
statement filed by Seller (or by
6
Purchaser, Issuer or the Indenture Trustee on behalf of Seller) in
accordance with paragraph (a) above seriously misleading within the meaning
of Section 9-506 of the applicable UCC or any successor provision, unless
they have filed appropriate amendments to all previously filed financing
statements and continuation statements. If, as a result of a change of the
Seller's "location" (determined as provided in Section 9-307 of the UCC or
any successor provision) or jurisdiction of organization, the applicable
provisions of the UCC would require the filing of any amendment of any
previously filed financing or continuation statement or of any new
financing statement, then the Seller shall file or cause to be filed such
amendment or continuation statement or new financing statement within the
time period necessary to preserve fully and protect fully the interest of
the Purchaser, the Trust and the Indenture Trustee in the Receivables. The
Seller shall at all times maintain each office from which it shall service
Receivables, its principal place of business and "location" (determined as
provided in Section 9-307 of the UCC or any successor provision) within the
United States of America.
(c) Prior to the Closing Date, Seller has maintained accounts and
records as to each Receivable accurately and in sufficient detail to permit
(i) the reader thereof to know at any time as of or prior to the Closing
Date, the status of such Receivable, including payments and recoveries made
and payments owing (and the nature of each) and (ii) reconciliation between
payments or recoveries on (or with respect to) each Receivable and the
Principal Balance as of the Closing Date. Seller shall maintain its
computer systems so that, from and after the time of sale under this
Agreement of the Receivables to Purchaser, and the conveyance of the
Receivables by Purchaser to the Issuer, Seller's master computer records
(including archives) that shall refer to a Receivable indicate clearly that
such Receivable has been sold to Purchaser and has been conveyed by
Purchaser to the Issuer. Indication of the Issuer's ownership of a
Receivable shall be deleted from or modified on Seller's computer systems
when, and only when, the Receivable shall become a Purchased Receivable or
shall have been paid in full.
(d) If at any xxxx Xxxxxx shall propose to sell, grant a security
interest in, or otherwise transfer any interest in any motor vehicle
receivables to any prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee,
Seller shall give to such prospective purchaser, lender, or other
transferee computer tapes, records, or print-outs (including any restored
from archives) that, if they shall refer in any manner whatsoever to any
Receivable, shall indicate clearly that such Receivable has been sold to
Purchaser, sold by Purchaser to Issuer, and is owned by the Issuer.
SECTION 4.2 Representations of Seller.
-------------------------
(a) The Seller makes the following representations on which the
Purchaser is deemed to have relied in acquiring the Receivables and on
which the Issuer is deemed to have relied in acquiring the Receivables and
issuing the Notes and on which the Indenture Trustee is deemed to have
relied in authenticating the Notes. The representations speak as of the

Servicing Agreement. The sole remedy of the Purchaser, the Trust, the Owner
Trustee, Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders with respect to a breach of the
Seller's representations and warranties contained in Section 3.1 shall be to
require the Seller to repurchase Receivables pursuant to this Section 5.1.
In addition to the foregoing and notwithstanding whether the related
Receivable shall have been purchased by Seller, Seller shall indemnify the
Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Noteholders from and
against all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities, including
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, which may be asserted against or
incurred by any of them as a result of third party claims arising out of the
events or facts giving rise to such breach and subsequent repurchase.
SECTION 5.2 Reassignment of Purchased Receivables. Upon deposit in
-------------------------------------
the Collection Account of the Purchase Amount of any Receivable repurchased by
Seller under Section 5.1 hereof, Purchaser and the Issuer shall take such steps
as may be reasonably requested by Seller in order to assign to Seller all of
Purchaser's and the Issuer's right, title and interest in and to such Receivable
conveyed to Purchaser and the Issuer 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 Issuer. Such assignment
shall be a sale and assignment outright, and not for security. If, following the
reassignment of a Receivable, in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding, it is
held that Seller 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 Issuer shall, at the expense of Seller, take such steps as
Seller deems reasonably necessary to enforce the Receivable, including bringing
suit in Purchaser's or in the Issuer's name.
SECTION 5.3 Waivers. No failure or delay on the part of Purchaser, or
-------
the Issuer 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.
