RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT dated as of March 20, 2024, (this “Agreement”) between HYUNDAI CAPITAL AMERICA, a California corporation, as seller (the “Seller”), and Hyundai ABS Funding, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as depositor (the “Depositor”).

WHEREAS, in the regular course of its business, the Seller has purchased certain retail installment sale contracts secured by new and used automobiles, light-duty trucks, and minivans from motor vehicle dealers;

WHEREAS, the Seller and the Depositor wish to set forth the terms pursuant to which such contracts are to be sold by the Seller to the Depositor; and

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 II.
Conveyance of Receivables

Section 2.01 Conveyance of Receivables.

(a) In consideration of the Depositor’s delivery to the Seller on the Closing Date of an amount equal to the estimated fair market value of the Purchased Assets, which amount shall be paid in the form of (i) cash, less the par value of the Retained Notes, if any, to be issued to the Seller on the Closing Date, (ii) Retained Notes and (iii) a capital contribution initially made by the Seller to the Depositor (collectively, the “Purchase Price”), the Seller does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Depositor without recourse (subject to the obligations of the Seller herein) all right, title, and interest of the Seller in and to:

(i) the Receivables and all moneys identified thereon on or after the Cutoff Date;

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

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

(iv) any property that shall have secured any Receivable and that shall have been acquired by or on behalf of the Seller;

(2024-A Receivables Purchase Agreement)

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

(vi) all proceeds from any Receivable repurchased by a Dealer pursuant to a Dealer Agreement; and

(vii) the proceeds of any and all of the foregoing (collectively, with the assets listed in clauses (i) through (vi) above, the “Purchased Assets”).

The Depositor shall make payment in respect of the Purchase Price upon demand by the Seller. The Depositor shall deposit an amount equal to the Reserve Account Deposit into the Reserve Account on the Closing Date, which account shall be an asset of the Issuer and pledged to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.

(b) The Seller and the Depositor intend that the transfer of the Purchased 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 of a mere security interest to secure a borrowing or such transfer is otherwise not effective to sell the Receivables and other property described in Section 2.01(a) hereof, the Seller shall be deemed to have hereby granted to the Depositor a perfected first priority security interest in all such assets, 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 Receivables shall take place at a closing at the offices of Xxxxx Xxxxx LLP, 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, on the Closing Date, simultaneously with the closing under (a) the Sale and Servicing Agreement, (b) the Indenture and (c) the Trust Agreement.

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.

Section 3.02 Representations and Warranties of Seller.

(a) The Seller hereby makes the following representations and warranties as of the Closing Date on which the Depositor relies in accepting the Purchased Assets and in transferring the Purchased Assets to the Issuer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and on which the Issuer relies in pledging the same to the Indenture Trustee. Such representations and warranties speak as of the Closing Date, but shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the Purchased Assets to the Depositor, the subsequent sale, transfer and assignment of the Purchased Assets by the Depositor to the Issuer pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the pledge of the same by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture:

(iii) Power and Authority. The Seller 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 Seller had at all relevant times, and has, full power, authority and legal right to sell, transfer and assign the property sold, transferred and assigned to the Depositor hereby and has duly authorized such sale, transfer and assignment to the Depositor by all necessary corporate action; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which the Seller is a party have been duly authorized by the Seller by all necessary corporate action.

(iv) No Violation. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which the Seller is a party and the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and other Basic Documents to which it is a party do not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Seller, or any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Seller 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 Seller’s knowledge, any order, rule or regulation applicable to the Seller of any court or of any federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Seller 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 Seller’s ability to perform its obligations under the Basic Documents or the consummation of the transactions as contemplated by the Basic Documents.

(v) No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or investigations pending or, to the Seller’s knowledge, threatened in writing against the Seller before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Seller or its properties (A) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement or any other Basic Document to which the Seller is a party, (B) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Basic Document to which the Seller is a party or (C) seeking any determination or ruling that would materially and adversely affect the performance by the Seller of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement or any other Basic Document to which the Seller is a party.

(vi) Valid Sale, Binding Obligation. The Basic Documents constitute a valid sale, transfer and assignment to the Depositor of all right, title and interest of the Seller in the Receivables and the proceeds thereof. The Receivables will not be considered part of the Seller’s estate in the event of a bankruptcy of the Seller. This Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which the Seller is a party, when duly executed and delivered by the other parties hereto and thereto, shall constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with their respective terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and 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).

Any inaccuracy in any of such representations or warranties shall be deemed not to constitute a breach of such representations or warranties if such inaccuracy does not affect the ability of the Issuer to receive and retain payment in full on such Receivable.

(a) Filings. The Seller shall cause, at its own expense, all financing statements and continuation statements and any other necessary documents (other than the costs to re-title the Financed Vehicles in order to name a party other than the Seller as lienholder) covering the right, title and interest of the Seller, the Depositor, the Trust and the Indenture Trustee, respectively, in and to the Receivables and the other property included in the Trust Estate to be promptly filed and at all times to be kept recorded, registered and filed, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve and protect the right, title and interest of the Depositor hereunder, the Trust under the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture in and to the Receivables and the other property included in the Trust Estate.

The Depositor shall cooperate fully with the Seller in connection with the obligations set forth above and will execute any and all documents reasonably required to fulfill the intent of this paragraph.

(b) Name Change. If the Seller makes any change in its name, identity or corporate structure that would make any financing statement or continuation statement filed in accordance with paragraph (a) above seriously misleading within the applicable provisions of the UCC or any title statute, the Seller shall give the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee prompt written notice thereof and shall promptly file such financing statements or amendments as may be necessary to continue the perfection of the Depositor’s and the Indenture Trustee’s interest in the property conveyed pursuant to Section 2.01.

(2024-A Receivables Purchase Agreement)

Section 5.02 Other Liens or Interests. Except for the conveyances hereunder and pursuant to the Basic Documents, the Seller shall not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any Person, or grant, create, incur, assume, or suffer to exist any Lien on, or any interest in, to or under the Receivables, and the Seller shall defend the right, title and interest of the Depositor, the Trust and the Indenture Trustee in, to and under the Receivables against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Seller.

Section 5.03 Costs and Expenses.

ARTICLE VI.
Indemnification

Section 6.01 Indemnification.

Without limiting any other rights any such Person may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Seller hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the Depositor and its officers, directors, agents and employees from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) (all of the foregoing collectively, the “Indemnified Losses”) at any time imposed on or incurred by any of the Depositor and its officers, directors, agents and employees arising out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the acquisition of any of the Receivables, or any action taken or omitted by any of such parties, whether arising by reason of the acts to be performed by the Seller hereunder or otherwise, excluding only Indemnified Losses to the extent (a) such Indemnified Losses resulted from gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Depositor or its officers, directors, agents or employees seeking indemnification, (b) due to the financial inability of the Obligor to pay a Receivable and for which reimbursement would constitute recourse to the Seller for uncollectible Receivables or (c) such Indemnified Losses include taxes on, or measured by, the overall net income of the Depositor or its officers, directors, agents and employees.

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.

(2024-A Receivables Purchase Agreement)

Section 7.02 Repurchase Events. The Seller hereby covenants and agrees that if the Seller discovers or is notified by a Requesting Party with a Repurchase Request regarding a breach of any of the Seller’s representations and warranties contained in Section 3.02(b) at the time such representations and warranties were made, the Seller will investigate the Receivable to confirm the breach and determine if the breach materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer or the Noteholders and triggers a repurchase event (“Repurchase Event”). Upon discovery by any party hereto of a Repurchase Event, 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 Seller under this Section 7.02. 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 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 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 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 7.02.

Section 7.03 Depositor Assignment of Repurchased Receivables. With respect to all Receivables repurchased by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement, the Depositor shall assign, without recourse, representation or warranty, to the Seller all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to such Receivables and all security and documents relating thereto.

Section 7.04 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 7.02, are intended to benefit the Issuer, 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.

(2024-A Receivables Purchase Agreement)

Section 7.05 Amendment.

(a) 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 Certificateholder, 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 the Certificateholder subject to the satisfaction of one of the following conditions:

(i) the Depositor or the Seller delivers an Opinion of Counsel or an Officer’s Certificate to the Indenture Trustee to the effect that such amendment will not materially and adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders (and, if the Certificates are then held by anyone other than the Depositor or a U.S. Affiliate of the Depositor, the Certificateholders); or

(ii) 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 action.

(b) This Agreement may also be amended by the Seller and the Depositor, with prior written notice to the Rating Agencies and the prior written consent of Holders of Notes evidencing at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class of the Notes and Holders of Certificates evidencing at least a majority of the Certificate Percentage Interests (excluding, for purposes of this Section 7.05, Certificates held by the Seller or any of its 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 Certificateholder; provided, however, that no such amendment may (i) reduce the interest rate or principal amount of any Note or the percentage interest of any Certificate or delay the Stated Maturity Date of any Note without the consent of the Holder of such Note or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Notes or the Certificates that is required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all the outstanding Notes and Certificates.

Section 7.06 Waivers.
