In consideration of WOAR’s delivery to or upon the order of World Omni of the Purchase Price (as defined in Section 2.02 below), World Omni does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to WOAR, without recourse (subject to the obligations of World Omni herein), on the Closing Date (the “Purchase Date”) pursuant to a written assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit A (the “RPA Assignment”), all right, title and interest of World Omni, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, and wherever located, in and to the following (but none of the obligations of World Omni with respect to):
(a) the Receivables identified in the Schedule of Receivables to the RPA Assignment (all of which are identified in World Omni’s computer files by a code indicating the Receivables are owned by the Trust and pledged to the Indenture Trustee) and all monies received thereon after the Cutoff Date;
(b) the security interests in, and the liens on, the Financed Vehicles granted by Obligors in connection with the Receivables identified in the RPA Assignment and any other interest of World Omni in the Financed Vehicles;
