Sale Agreement (2005-WF1)
ARTICLE II
CONVEYANCE OF TRANSFERRED ASSETS
SECTION 2.1 Conveyance of Transferred Assets. In consideration of the
Issuer's sale and delivery to, or upon the order of, the Seller of all of the
Notes and the Residual Interest on the Closing Date, the Seller does hereby
irrevocably sell, transfer, assign and otherwise convey to the Issuer without
recourse (subject to the obligations herein) all right, title and interest of
the Seller, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under the
Transferred Assets, identified in an Assignment substantially in the form of
Exhibit A delivered on the Closing Date. The sale, transfer, assignment and
conveyance made hereunder does not constitute and is not intended to result in
an assumption by the Issuer of any obligation of the Seller or the Originators
to the Obligors or any other Person in connection with the Receivables or the
other assets and properties conveyed hereunder or any agreement, document or
instrument related thereto.
SECTION 2.2 Representations and Warranties of the Seller as to each
Receivable. On the date hereof, with respect to the Receivables the Seller
hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth on Schedule I to the
Issuer and the Indenture Trustee as to the Receivables sold, transferred,
assigned, and otherwise conveyed to the Issuer under this Agreement on which
such representations and warranties the Issuer relies in acquiring the
Receivables. The representations and warranties as to each Receivable shall
survive the Grant of the Receivables by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee
pursuant to the Indenture. Notwithstanding any statement to the contrary
contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, the Seller shall not be
required to notify any insurer with respect to any Insurance Policy obtained by
an Obligor.
SECTION 2.3 Repurchase upon Breach. Upon discovery by any party hereto
of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section
2.2 which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer or the
Noteholders, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice
thereof to the other parties hereto and to the Originator; provided, that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect any obligation of the Seller
hereunder. If the breach materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Issuer or the Noteholders in such Receivable, then the Seller shall either (a)
correct or cure such breach or (b) purchase such Receivable from the Issuer, in
either case on or before the Payment Date following the end of the Collection
Period which includes the 60th day after the date the Seller and the Originator
became aware or was notified of such breach. Any such breach or failure will not
be deemed to have a material and adverse effect if such breach or failure does
not affect the ability of the Issuer 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 Repurchase Price. In consideration for such repurchase, the Seller
shall make (or shall cause to be made) a payment to the Issuer equal to the
Repurchase Price by depositing such amount into the Collection Account prior to
4:00 p.m.,
New York City time on the Business Day immediately preceding such
Payment Date. Upon payment of such Repurchase Price by the Seller, the Issuer
shall release and shall execute and deliver such instruments of release,
transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse or representation, as may
be reasonably requested by the Seller to evidence such release, transfer or
assignment or more effectively vest in the Seller or its designee all of the
Issuer's rights in any Receivable and related Transferred Assets repurchased
pursuant to this Section 2.3. It is understood and agreed
Sale Agreement (2005-WF1)
2
that the right to cause the Seller to repurchase (or to enforce the obligations
of BANA under the Purchase Agreement or the Originator under the Originator
Purchase Agreement to repurchase) any Receivable as described above shall
constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the Issuer 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 2.3.
ARTICLE III
THE SELLER
SECTION 3.1 Representations and Warranties of Seller. The Seller makes
the following representations and warranties as of the Closing Date on which the
Issuer will be deemed to have relied in acquiring the Transferred Assets. The
representations and warranties speak as of the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and will survive the conveyance of the Transferred Assets to the
Issuer and the pledge thereof by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to
the Indenture:
(a) Existence and Power. The Seller is a Delaware limited liability
company validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of
organization and has, in all material respects, full power and authority to own
its assets and operate its business as presently owned or operated, and to
execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to
which it is a party or affect the enforceability or collectibility of the
Receivables or any other part of the Transferred Assets. The Seller has obtained
all necessary licenses and approvals in each jurisdiction where the failure to
do so would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Seller to perform
its obligations under the Transaction Documents or affect the enforceability or
collectibility of the Receivables or any other part of the Transferred Assets.
(b) Authorization and No Contravention. The execution, delivery and
performance by the Seller of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party
have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Seller and
do not contravene or constitute a default under (i) any applicable law, rule or
regulation, (ii) its organizational documents or (iii) any indenture or
agreement or instrument to which the Seller is a party or by which its
properties are bound (other than violations of such laws, rules, regulations,
indentures or agreements which do not affect the legality, validity or
enforceability of any of such agreements and which, individually or in the
aggregate, would not materially and adversely affect the transactions
contemplated by, or the Seller's ability to perform its obligations under, the
Transaction Documents).
(c) No Consent Required. No approval or authorization by, or filing
with, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution,
delivery and performance by the Seller of any Transaction Document other than
(i) UCC filings, (ii) approvals and authorizations that have previously been
obtained and filings that have previously been made and (iii) approval,
authorizations or filings which, if not obtained or made, would not have a
material adverse effect on the enforceability or collectibility of the
Receivables or any other part of the Transferred Assets or would not materially
and adversely affect the ability of the Seller to perform its obligations under
the Transaction Documents.
Sale Agreement (2005-WF1)
3
(d) Binding Effect. Each Transaction Document to which the Seller is a
party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Seller
enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, receivership, conservatorship or other similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and, if applicable, the
rights of creditors of limited liability companies from time to time in effect
or by general principles of equity.
(e) Lien Filings. The Seller is not aware of any material judgment,
ERISA or tax lien filings against the Seller.
(f) No Proceedings. There are no actions, orders, suits or proceedings
pending or, to the knowledge of the Seller, threatened against the Seller before
or by any Governmental Authority that (i) assert the invalidity or
unenforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents,
(ii) seek to prevent the issuance of the Notes or the consummation of any of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Transaction
Documents, (iii) seek any determination or ruling that would materially and
adversely affect the performance by the Seller of its obligations under this
Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or the collectibility or
enforceability of the Receivables or have a material adverse effect on the
Noteholders, or (iv) relate to the Seller that would materially and adversely
affect the federal or Applicable Tax State income, excise, franchise or similar
tax attributes of the Notes.
(g) Trade Name. "BAS Securitization LLC" is the only trade name under
which the Seller is currently operating its business. For the six (6) years (or
such shorter period of time during which the Seller was in existence) preceding
the date hereof, the Seller operated its business under the trade name "BAS
Securitization LLC". "BAS Securitization LLC" is the name of the Seller
indicated on the public record of the Seller's jurisdiction of organization
which shows the Seller to have been organized.
(h) Investment Company Act. The Seller is not an "investment company"
that is registered or required to be registered under, or otherwise subject to
the restrictions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
SECTION 3.2 Liability of the Seller; Indemnities. The Seller shall be
liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically
undertaken by the Seller under this Agreement, and hereby agrees to the
following:
(a) The Seller shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Issuer,
the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the Residual
Interestholder from and against any loss, liability or expense incurred by
reason of the Seller's violation of federal or State securities laws in
connection with the registration or the sale of the Notes.
(b) The Seller will pay any and all taxes levied or assessed upon the
Issuer or upon all or any part of the Trust Estate.
(c) Indemnification under this Section 3.2 will survive the resignation
or removal of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee and the termination of
this Agreement and will
Sale Agreement (2005-WF1)
4
include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. If
the Seller has made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section 3.2 and the
Person to or on behalf of whom such payments are made thereafter collects any of
such amounts from others, such Person will promptly repay such amounts to the
Seller, without interest.
(d) The Seller's obligations under this Section 3.2 are obligations
solely of the Seller and will not constitute a claim against the Seller to the
extent that the Seller does not have funds sufficient to make payment of such
obligations. In furtherance of and not in derogation of the foregoing, the
Issuer, by entering into or accepting this Agreement, acknowledges and agrees
that it has no right, title or interest in or to the Other Assets of the Seller.
To the extent that, notwithstanding the agreements and provisions contained in
the preceding sentence, the Issuer either (i) asserts an interest or claim to,
or benefit from, Other Assets, or (ii) is deemed to have any such interest,
claim to, or benefit in or from Other Assets, whether by operation of law, legal
process, pursuant to applicable provisions of insolvency laws or otherwise
(including by virtue of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor
provision having similar effect under the Bankruptcy Code), then the Issuer
further acknowledges and agrees that any such interest, claim or benefit in or
from Other Assets is and will be expressly subordinated to the indefeasible
payment in full, which, under the terms of the relevant documents relating to
the securitization or conveyance of such Other Assets, are entitled to be paid
from, entitled to the benefits of, or otherwise secured by such Other Assets
(whether or not any such entitlement or security interest is legally perfected
or otherwise entitled to a priority of distributions or application under
applicable law, including insolvency laws, and whether or not asserted against
the Seller), including the payment of post-petition interest on such other
obligations and liabilities. This subordination agreement will be deemed a
subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy
Code. The Issuer further acknowledges and agrees that no adequate remedy at law
exists for a breach of this Section 3.2(d) and the terms of this Section 3.2(d)
may be enforced by an action for specific performance. The provisions of this
Section 3.2(d) will be for the third party benefit of those entitled to rely
thereon and will survive the termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 3.3 Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the
Obligations of, Seller. Any Person (i) into which the Seller may be merged or
consolidated, (ii) resulting from any merger, conversion, or consolidation to
which the Seller is a party, (iii) succeeding to the business of the Seller, or
(iv) more than 50% of the voting stock or voting power and 50% or more of the
economic equity of which is owned directly or indirectly by BAC, which Person in
any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform every
obligation of the Seller under this Agreement, will be the successor to the
Seller under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any document or
any further act on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Seller enters into any of the foregoing
transactions and is not the surviving entity, (x) the Seller shall deliver to
the Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each
stating that such merger, conversion, consolidation or succession and such
agreement of assumption comply with this Section 3.3 and that all conditions
precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement relating to such transaction
have been complied with and (y) the Seller will deliver to the Indenture Trustee
an Opinion of Counsel either (A) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel,
all financing statements and continuation statements and amendments thereto have
been executed and filed that are necessary fully to preserve and protect the
interest of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, respectively, in
Sale Agreement (2005-WF1)
5
the Receivables, and reciting the details of such filings, or (B) stating that,
in the opinion of such counsel, no such action is necessary to preserve and
protect such interest. The Seller will provide notice of any merger, conversion,
consolidation, or succession pursuant to this Section 3.3 to the Rating
Agencies. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the execution of the
foregoing agreement of assumption and compliance with clauses (x) and (y) of
this Section 3.3 will be conditions to the consummation of any of the
transactions referred to in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 3.3 in
which the Seller is not the surviving entity.
SECTION 3.4 Limitation on Liability of Seller and Others. The Seller
and any officer or employee or agent of the Seller may rely in good faith on the
advice of counsel or on any document of any kind, prima facie properly executed
and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Seller
will not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute, or defend any legal
action that is not incidental to its obligations under this Agreement, and that
in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability.
SECTION 3.5 Seller May Own Notes. The Seller, and any Affiliate of the
Seller, may in its individual or any other capacity become the owner or pledgee
of Notes with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Seller or an
Affiliate thereof, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in the other
Transaction Documents. Except as set forth herein or in the other Transaction
Documents, Notes so owned by the Seller or any such Affiliate will have an equal
and proportionate benefit under the provisions of this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents, without preference, priority, or distinction as among all
of the Notes. Unless all Notes are owned by the Issuer, the Seller or any of
their respective Affiliates, any Notes owned by the Issuer, the Seller or any of
their respective Affiliates shall be disregarded with respect to the
determination of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
vote or waiver hereunder or under any other Transaction Document.
SECTION 3.6 Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act Requirements and 1934 Act Filings. (a)
(i) To the extent any documents are required to be filed with respect to the
Issuer or the Notes pursuant to the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act, the Issuer hereby
authorizes the Indenture Trustee and the Seller, or either of them, to prepare,
sign and file any such documents or any certifications on behalf of the Issuer
and (ii) to the extent any certification is required to be made with respect to
the Issuer or the Notes pursuant to the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act, the Issuer hereby
authorizes the Seller certify any such documents on behalf of the Issuer.
(b) (i) The Issuer hereby authorizes the Indenture Trustee and the
Seller, or either of them, to prepare, sign and file any and all reports,
statements and information respecting the Issuer and/or the Notes required to be
filed pursuant to the Exchange Act and (ii) the Issuer hereby authorizes the
Seller to certify any and all reports, statements and information respecting the
Issuer and/or the Notes required to be filed pursuant to the Exchange Act.
SECTION 3.7 Compliance with Organizational Documents. The Seller shall
comply with its limited liability company agreement and other organizational
documents.
SECTION 3.8 Perfection Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The
Seller hereby makes the perfection representations, warranties and covenants
attached hereto as
Sale Agreement (2005-WF1)
6
Exhibit B to the Issuer and the Issuer shall be deemed to have relied on such
representations, warranties and covenants in acquiring the Transferred Assets.
ARTICLE IV
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
SECTION 4.1 Amendment.
(a) Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by the
Seller with prior notice to each Rating Agency but without the consent of the
Indenture Trustee, any Noteholder, the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note,
the Issuer or the Owner Trustee; provided that such amendment shall not, as
evidenced by an Officer's Certificate of the Depositor delivered to the
Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee materially and adversely affect the
interests of the Noteholders, the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note, the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee; provided, further, that any amendment
entered into pursuant to this Section 4.1(a) shall not significantly change the
permitted activities of the Issuer.
(b) Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by the
Seller with prior notice to each Rating Agency but without the consent of the
Indenture Trustee, any Noteholder, the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note,
the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or any other Person to add, modify or eliminate
any provisions as may be necessary or advisable in order to enable the Seller or
any of its Affiliates to comply with or obtain more favorable treatment under
any law or regulation or any accounting rule or principle; provided that such
amendment shall not, as evidenced by an Officer's Certificate of the Depositor
delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee materially and
adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders, the Holder of the Revolving
Liquidity Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee;
provided, further, that the Rating Agency Condition with respect to Standard &
Poor's shall have been satisfied; provided, further, that any amendment entered
into pursuant to this Section 4.1(b) shall not significantly change the
permitted activities of the Issuer.
(c) This Agreement (including Appendix A) may also be amended from
time to time by the Seller with prior notice to each Rating Agency and with the
consent of the Holders evidencing not less than a majority of the Note Balance
of the Controlling Class, and, if the interests of the Holder of the Revolving
Liquidity Note are affected, the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note, for the
purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any
of the provisions of this Agreement. It will not be necessary for the consent of
Noteholders or the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note to approve the
particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it will be sufficient
if such consent approves the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such
consents (and any other consents of Noteholders provided for in this Agreement)
and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Noteholders and
the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note, as applicable, will be subject to
such reasonable requirements as the Indenture Trustee may prescribe, including
the establishment of record dates pursuant to the Note Depository Agreement.
(d) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the
Seller shall provide written notification of the substance of such amendment to
each Rating Agency; and
Sale Agreement (2005-WF1)
7
promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent, the Seller shall
furnish a copy of such amendment or consent to each Rating Agency, the Indenture
Trustee and the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note.
(e) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the
Seller, the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note, the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive and conclusively rely upon an
Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or
permitted by this Agreement and that all conditions precedent to the execution
and delivery of such amendment have been satisfied. The Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such
amendment which adversely affects the Owner Trustee's or the Indenture
Trustee's, as applicable, own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement.
Furthermore, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Agreement may
not be amended in any way that would adversely affect the Owner Trustee's
rights, privileges, indemnities, duties or obligations under this Agreement, the
Transaction Documents or otherwise without the prior written consent of the
Owner Trustee.
SECTION 4.2 Protection of Title.
(a) The Seller shall authorize and file such financing statements and
cause to be authorized and filed such continuation and other statements, all in
such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve,
maintain and protect the interest of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee under
this Agreement in the Receivables (other than any Related Security with respect
thereto, to the extent that the interest of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee
therein cannot be perfected by the filing of a financing statement). The Seller
shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Issuer file-stamped copies of,
or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon as
available following such filing.
(b) The Seller shall not change its name, identity, organizational
structure or jurisdiction of organization in any manner that would make any
financing statement or continuation statement filed by the Seller in accordance
with paragraph (a) above "seriously misleading" within the meaning of Sections
9-506, 9-507 or 9-508 of the UCC, unless it shall have given the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee at least five days' prior written notice thereof and, to the
extent necessary, has promptly filed amendments to previously filed financing
statements or continuation statements described in paragraph (a) above or filed
new financing statements, as applicable.
(c) The Seller shall give the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee at least
five days' prior written notice of any change of location of the Seller for
purposes of Section 9-307 of the UCC and shall have taken all action prior to
making such change (or shall have made arrangements to take such action
substantially simultaneously with such change, if it is not possible to take
such action in advance) reasonably necessary or advisable to amend all
previously filed financing statements or continuation statements described in
paragraph (a) above or to file new financing statements, as applicable.
SECTION 4.3 Other Liens or Interests. Except for the conveyances and
grants of security interests pursuant to this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents, the Seller shall not sell, pledge, assign or transfer the
Receivables or other property transferred to the Issuer
Sale Agreement (2005-WF1)
8
to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien
on any interest therein, and the Seller shall defend the right, title and
interest of the Issuer in, to and under such Receivables and other property
transferred to the Issuer against all claims of third parties claiming through
or under the Seller.
SECTION 4.4 Transfers Intended as Sale; Security Interest.
(a) Each of the parties hereto expressly intends and agrees that the
transfers contemplated and effected under this Agreement are complete and
absolute sales and transfers rather than pledges or assignments of only a
security interest and shall be given effect as such for all purposes. It is
further the intention of the parties hereto that the Receivables and related
Transferred Assets shall not be part of the Seller's estate in the event of a
bankruptcy or insolvency of the Seller. The sales and transfers by the Seller of
Receivables and related Transferred Assets hereunder are and shall be without
recourse to, or representation or warranty (express or implied) by, the Seller,
except as otherwise specifically provided herein. The limited rights of recourse
specified herein against the Seller are intended to provide a remedy for breach
of representations and warranties relating to the condition of the property
sold, rather than to the collectibility of the Receivables.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Receivables
and other Transferred Assets (or interests therein) are held to be property of
the Seller, or if for any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create
indebtedness or a security interest in the Receivables and other Transferred
Assets, then it is intended that:
(i) This Agreement shall be deemed to be a security
agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of
the
New York Uniform Commercial Code and the Uniform
Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction;
(ii) The conveyance provided for in Section 2.1 shall be
deemed to be a grant by the Seller, and the Seller
hereby grants, to the Issuer of a security interest
in all of its right (including the power to convey
title thereto), title and interest, whether now owned
or hereafter acquired, in and to the Receivables and
other Transferred Assets, to secure such indebtedness
and the performance of the obligations of the Seller
hereunder;
(iii) The possession by the Issuer, or the Servicer as the
Issuer's agent, of the Receivable Files and any other
property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable
documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be
"possession by the secured party" or possession by
the purchaser or a person designated by such
purchaser, for purposes of perfecting the security
interest pursuant to the
New York Uniform Commercial
Code and the Uniform Commercial Code of any other
applicable jurisdiction; and
(iv) Notifications to persons holding such property, and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from
persons holding such property, shall be deemed to be
notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or
Sale Agreement (2005-WF1)
9
confirmations from, bailees or agents (as applicable)
of the Issuer for the purpose of perfecting such
security interest under applicable law.
SECTION 4.5 Information Requests. The parties hereto shall provide any
information reasonably requested by the Servicer, the Issuer, the Seller or any
of their Affiliates, in order to comply with or obtain more favorable treatment
under any current or future law, rule, regulation, accounting rule or principle.
SECTION 4.6 Notices, Etc. All demands, notices and communications
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered or mailed by registered or
certified first-class United States mail, postage prepaid, hand delivery,
prepaid courier service, or by facsimile, and addressed in each case as set
forth on Schedule II or at such other address as shall be designated in a
written notice to the other parties hereto. Any notice required or permitted to
be mailed to a Noteholder shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid,

originated in the United States by a Dealer for the retail
sale of a Financed Vehicle in the ordinary course of such
Dealer's business, was fully and properly executed by the
parties thereto, was purchased by the Originator, an Affiliate
of the Originator or a business partner of the Originator from
such Dealer under an existing Dealer Agreement, and was
validly assigned by such Dealer to the Originator, to such
Affiliate or to such business partner, and if an Affiliate of
the Originator or a business partner of the Originator
purchased the Receivable from the Dealer, such Receivable was
purchased by the Originator from such Person, and was validly
assigned by such Person to the Originator in accordance with
the terms;
(ii) has created or will create a valid, binding and

Originator in the Financed Vehicle, which security interest is

interest to the Issuer;

such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder
thereof adequate for realization against the collateral of the
benefits of the security;
(iv) is a Simple Interest Receivable;
(v) provides for level monthly payments (provided
that the payment in the final month of the life of the

Original Principal Balance by maturity and shall yield
interest at the Annual Percentage Rate;

UCC.
(b) Creation, Perfection and Priority of Security Interests. The following
representations and warranties regarding creation, perfection and
priority of security interests in the Transferred Assets are true and
correct.
(i) While it is the intention of the Seller and the
Issuer that the transfer and assignment contemplated by this
Agreement shall constitute a sale of the Transferred Assets
from the Seller to the Issuer, this Agreement shall create a
valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the
applicable UCC) in the Transferred Assets in favor of the
Issuer, which security interest is prior to all other Liens,
and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and
purchasers from the Seller.
(ii) All steps necessary to perfect the Seller's
security interest against each Obligor in the property
securing the Transferred Assets have been taken.
(iii) Prior to the sale of the Transferred Assets to
the Issuer under this Agreement, the Receivables constitute
"tangible chattel paper" or "electronic chattel paper" within
the meaning of the applicable UCC.
(iv) The Seller has caused or will have caused,
within ten days after the Closing Date, the filing of all
appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office

conveyed to any Person other than Issuer.
(c) Schedule of Receivables. The information set forth in the Schedule of

rights in general and by equity, regardless of whether such
enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

transfer and assignment thereof pursuant hereto, each Receivable was
secured by a validly perfected first priority security interest in the
Financed Vehicle in favor of the Seller as secured party or all
necessary and appropriate action had been commenced that would result
in the valid perfection of a first priority security interest in the
Financed Vehicle in favor of the Seller as secured party, which
security interest, in either case, is assignable and has been so
assigned by the Seller to the Issuer.
(g) Receivables In Force. As of the Cut-Off Date, no Receivable has been
satisfied, subordinated or rescinded, and the Financed Vehicle securing
each such Receivable has not been released from the lien of the related
Receivable in whole or in part.

pledged by the Seller to any Person other than the Issuer; immediately
prior to the conveyance of the Receivables pursuant to this Agreement,
the Seller had good and marketable title thereto, free of any Lien;
and, upon execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Seller, the
Issuer shall have all of the right, title and interest of the Seller in
and to the Receivables, the unpaid indebtedness evidenced thereby and
the collateral security therefor, free of any Lien.

the laws of, any jurisdiction the laws of which would make unlawful,

under this Agreement. The Seller has not entered into any agreement
with any Obligor that prohibits, restricts or conditions the assignment
of the related Receivable.
(n) All Filings Made. All filings (including, UCC filings) necessary in any
jurisdiction to give the Issuer a first priority perfected ownership
interest in the Receivables shall have been made.
(o) One Original. There is only one original executed copy of each

thereof, constitutes a "negotiable instrument" or "negotiable document

except as provided in Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.6 of the Servicing
Agreement.
(r) No Default; No Waiver. Except for payment delinquencies continuing for
a period of not more than 30 days as of the Cut-Off Date, the Seller
