(the “Purchased Assets”):

Receivables, or all moneys received thereon on and after the

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

applicable) with respect to the Receivables meeting the requirements of
applicable state law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are
necessary to perfect, and maintain perfection of, the Conveyance of such
Purchased Assets from the Seller to the Company, (ii) that such financing
statements shall name the Seller, as seller, and the Company, as purchaser,
of the Receivables and (iii) to deliver a file-stamped copy of such
financing statements or other evidence of such filings (excluding such
continuation statements, which shall be delivered as filed) to the Company
as soon as is practicable after filing.
(c) In connection with such Conveyance, the Seller further agrees that it will, at its own expense, (i) on or prior to the

(i) Characteristics of Receivables. Each
Receivable (1) was originated by the Seller or acquired from a
motor vehicle dealer or another financial institution by the
Seller in the ordinary course of the Seller’s business, (2) has
created a valid, subsisting and enforceable first priority
security interest in favor of the Seller in the Financed Vehicle,
which security interest is assignable by the Seller and the
Company, (3) contains customary and enforceable provisions such
that the rights and remedies of the holder thereof shall be
adequate for realization against the collateral of the benefits of
the security, (4) provides for level monthly payments (provided
that the payment in the first or last month in the life of the
Receivable may be minimally different from the level payments)
that fully amortize the Amount Financed by maturity and yield
interest at the Annual Percentage Rate, and (5) in the case of a
Precomputed Receivable, in the event that such contract is
prepaid, provides for a prepayment that fully pays the Principal
Balance and includes accrued but unpaid interest through the date
of prepayment at the Annual Percentage Rate.
(ii) Schedule of Receivables. The information
set forth in Schedule I to this Agreement is true and correct in
all material respects as of the opening of business on the Cutoff
Date, and no selection procedures believed to be adverse to the
Certificateholders were utilized in selecting the Receivables. The
computer tape or other listing regarding the Receivables made
available to the Trustee is true and correct in all material
respects as of the Cutoff Date.
(iii) Compliance with Law. Each Receivable and
the sale of the Financed Vehicle complied in all material respects
at the time it was originated or made and at the execution of this
Agreement with all requirements of applicable federal, state and
local laws and regulations thereunder, including, without
limitation, usury laws, the Federal Truth- in-Lending Act, the
Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the
Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Federal Trade Commission
Act, the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxx Warranty Act, the Federal Reserve Board’s
Regulations B and Z, and State adaptations of the National
Consumer Act and of the Uniform Consumer Credit Code, and other
consumer credit laws and equal credit opportunity and disclosure laws.
(iv) Binding Obligation. Each Receivable
represents the genuine, legal, valid and binding payment
obligation in writing of the Obligor, enforceable by the holder
thereof in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable
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).
(v) No Government Obligor. None of the
Receivables is due from the United States of America or any State
or from any agency, department or instrumentality of the United
States of America or any State.
(vi) Security Interest in Financed Vehicle.
Immediately prior to the sale, assignment and transfer thereof to
the Trustee, each Receivable shall be secured by a validly
perfected first security interest in the Financed Vehicle in favor
of the Seller as secured party or all necessary and appropriate
actions have been commenced that would result in the valid
perfection of a first security interest in the Financed Vehicle in
favor of the Seller as secured party.
(vii) Receivables in Force. No Receivable has
been satisfied, subordinated or rescinded, nor has any Financed
Vehicle been released from the lien granted by the related
Receivable in whole or in part.

has been waived in such a manner that the Receivable fails to meet
any other representation or warranty of the Seller with respect
thereto.
(ix) No Amendments. No Receivable shall have
been amended such that the amount of the Obligor’s Scheduled
Payments shall have been increased except for increases resulting
from the inclusion of any premiums for forced placed physical
damage insurance covering the Financed Vehicle.
(x) No Defenses. No facts are known to the
Seller that would give rise to any right of rescission, setoff,
counterclaim or defense, nor shall the same have been asserted or
threatened, with respect to any Receivable.
(xi) No Liens. To the best of the Seller’s
knowledge, no liens or claims have been filed for work, labor or
materials relating to a Financed Vehicle that are prior to, or
equal or coordinate with, the security interest in the Financed
Vehicle granted by the Receivable.
(xii) No Default. No Receivable has a payment
that is more than 90 days overdue as of the related Cutoff Date
and, except as permitted in this paragraph, no default, breach,
violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any
Receivable has occurred; no continuing condition that with notice
or the lapse of time would constitute a default, breach, violation
or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Receivable
has arisen; and the Seller has not waived and shall not waive any
of the foregoing.
(xiii) Insurance. The Seller, in accordance with
its customary procedures, has determined that the Obligor has
obtained physical damage insurance covering the Financed Vehicle
and under the terms of the Receivable the Obligor is required to
maintain such insurance.
(xiv) Title. It is the intention of the Seller
that the transfer and assignment herein contemplated constitute a
sale of the Receivables from the Seller to the Company and that
the beneficial interest in and title to the Receivables not be

petition of receivership by or against the Seller. No Receivable

of all Liens and rights of others; and the transfer of the
Receivables to the Company has been perfected under the UCC.

originated in, or is subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction
under which the sale, transfer and assignment of such Receivable
under this Agreement shall be unlawful, void or voidable.

UCC filings) necessary in any jurisdictions to give the Trustee a
first perfected ownership interest in the Receivables shall have
been made.

date that is later than the Final Scheduled Maturity Date.

Receivable as of the Cutoff Date was noted in the related
Receivable File as having filed for bankruptcy.

securing any Receivable is in repossession status.

average remaining term of the Initial Receivables as of the
Initial Cutoff Date is months.

of the number of Receivables as of the Cutoff Date, represents
financing of new vehicles and the remainder of the Receivables
represents financing of used vehicles; and approximately % of
the aggregate principal balance of the Receivables as of the
Cutoff Date represent Precomputed Receivables and the remainder of
the Receivables represent Simple Interest Receivables. The
