Each Seller and Purchaser shall effect such transfers in accordance with this Section 2 or as otherwise mutually agreed by such Seller and Purchaser.

Each Seller agrees that, from time to time and at Purchaser’s expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments, notices and documents, and take all further action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the transfer of ownership of such Eligible Contracts and Contract Assets and the security interest in the related Automobiles.
(f) In the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties hereto, the transfer and assignment contemplated hereby is held not to be a sale, (i) each Seller hereby (A) grants to the Purchaser a security interest in the Eligible Contracts and related Contract Assets and Contract Files designated by such Seller for sale to the Purchaser under Section 2 hereof, and (B) agrees that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law, and (ii) each of the Sellers and the Purchaser hereby represents and warrants, as to itself only, that each remittance of any collections with respect the Contracts and related Assets, or any proceeds thereof, to the Purchaser, or its assignee, under this Agreement, will have been (A) in payment of a debt incurred by the applicable Seller in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of such Seller and the Purchaser and (B) made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of such Seller and the Purchaser.
