ARTICLE III
THE RECEIVABLES
Section 3.01 Representations and Warranties of World Omni with Respect to the Receivables. On the Closing Date and each Subsequent Transfer Date, if any, World Omni, which sold the Receivables specified in the related SSA Assignment on such date, hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth in Appendix B hereto and hereby represents and warrants to the other parties hereto and to the Noteholders, with respect to such Receivables as of the applicable Cutoff Date:
(a) Characteristics of Receivables. Each Receivable (1) (A) was originated in the United States of America 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 World Omni from such Dealer under an existing dealer agreement, (B) was originated by World Omni, or (C) was originated by an independent third party and acquired by World Omni, (2) contains customary and enforceable provisions such that the rights and remedies of the holder thereof are adequate for realization against the collateral of the benefits of the security, and (3) 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 and that certain of the Receivables did not require a payment to be made for up to six months from the date of execution of the contract) that fully amortize the Amount Financed by maturity and yield interest at the Annual Percentage Rate.
(b) Schedule of Receivables. The information set forth in the Schedule of Receivables is true and correct in all material respects as of the close of business on the applicable Cutoff Date, and no selection procedures believed by World Omni to be adverse to the Noteholders were utilized in selecting the Receivables. The computer tape or other listing regarding the Receivables made available to the Issuing Entity and its assigns (which computer tape or other listing is required to be delivered as specified herein) is true and correct in all material respects.
5
(c) Compliance with Law. To the best of World Omni’s knowledge, each Receivable, the sale of the Financed Vehicle and the sale of any related insurance policies thereon financed by the Receivables complied at the time it was originated or made and, at the execution of this Agreement, complies in all material respects with all requirements of applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations thereunder, including 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.
(d) 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, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws, now or hereafter in effect, affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general, and except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity (whether considered in a suit at law or in equity).
(e) No Government Obligor. None of the Receivables are 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.
(f) Security Interest in Financed Vehicle. Immediately prior to the sale, assignment and transfer thereof, each Receivable shall be secured by a validly perfected first priority security interest in the Financed Vehicle in favor of World Omni as secured party or all necessary and appropriate actions have been commenced that would result in the valid perfection of a first priority security interest in the Financed Vehicle in favor of the Depositor as secured party and is assignable by World Omni to the Depositor, by the Depositor to the Issuing Entity and by the Issuing Entity to the Indenture Trustee.
(g) 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.
(h) No Amendments. No Receivable has been amended such that the amount of the Obligor’s scheduled payments has been increased.
(i) No Waiver. No provision of a Receivable has been waived, other than a discretionary waiver of a late payment charge or any other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing a Receivable or in connection with any extension which is reflected in the Servicer’s computer system.
(j) No Defenses. No right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense has been asserted or, to World Omni’s knowledge, threatened with respect to any Receivable.
6
(k) No Liens. To the best of World Omni’s knowledge, no liens or claims have been filed for work, labor or materials relating to a Financed Vehicle that are liens prior to, or equal to or coordinate with, the security interest in the Financed Vehicle granted by any Receivable.
(l) No Default. No Receivable has a payment that is more than 30 days overdue as of the applicable Cutoff Date, and, except as permitted in this paragraph, to the best of World Omni’s knowledge, no default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Receivable has occurred and 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 World Omni has not waived and, except as permitted hereby, shall not waive any of the foregoing.
(m) Insurance. World Omni, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures, has determined that, at the origination of the Receivable, the Obligor had obtained physical damage insurance covering the Financed Vehicle. Under the terms of the Receivable the Obligor is required to maintain physical damage insurance covering the Financed Vehicle and having World Omni named as the loss payee.
(n) Title. It is the intention of World Omni that the transfer and assignment contemplated in the Receivables Purchase Agreement constitute a sale of the Receivables from World Omni to World Omni Auto Receivables LLC and that the beneficial interest in and title to the Receivables not be part of the debtor’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against World Omni under any bankruptcy law. No Receivable has been sold, transferred, assigned or pledged by World Omni to any Person other than the Depositor. Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment contemplated in the Receivables Purchase Agreement, World Omni had good and marketable title to each Receivable free and clear of all Liens, encumbrances, security interests and rights of others and, immediately upon the transfer thereof, the Depositor shall have good and marketable title to each Receivable, free and clear of all Liens, encumbrances, security interests and rights of others; and the transfer has been perfected under the UCC except, in each case, for liens and encumbrances that will be released concurrent with the transfer of Receivables pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement. It is the intention of the Depositor that the transfer and assignment herein contemplated constitute a sale of the Receivables from the Depositor to the Issuing Entity and that the beneficial interest in and title to the Receivables not be part of the debtor’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Depositor under any bankruptcy law. No Receivable has been sold, transferred, assigned or pledged by the Depositor to any Person other than the Issuing Entity. Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment herein contemplated, the Depositor had good and marketable title to each Receivable free and clear of all Liens, encumbrances, security interests and rights of others and, immediately upon the transfer thereof, the Issuing Entity shall have good and marketable title to each Receivable, free and clear of all Liens, encumbrances, security interests and rights of others; and the transfer has been perfected under the UCC.
(o) Lawful Assignment. No Receivable has been originated in, or is subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction under which the sale, transfer and assignment of such Receivable under this Agreement or the Indenture is unlawful, void or voidable.
7
(p) All Filings Made. All filings (including UCC filings) necessary in any jurisdiction to give the Issuing Entity a first perfected ownership interest in the Receivables, and to give the Indenture Trustee a first perfected security interest therein, shall have been made.
(q) One Original. There is only one executed original of each Receivable.
(r) Maturity of Receivables. In the case of Initial Receivables, each such Receivable has a final maturity date not later than March 13, 2015. In the case of Subsequent Receivables, if any, each such Receivable has a final maturity date not later than [RESERVED].
(s) Scheduled Payments. As of the Initial Cutoff Date, each Receivable being purchased on the Closing Date had a first scheduled due date on or prior to the end of the third month immediately following such Initial Cutoff Date. As of the applicable Subsequent Cutoff Date, if any, each Subsequent Receivable being purchased during the Funding Period had or will have a first scheduled due date on or prior to the end of the third month immediately following the applicable Subsequent Cutoff Date.
(t) Location of Receivable Files. The Receivable Files are, and will be, kept at the locations listed in Schedule B or at such other office or location as shall be specified to the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee by written notice prior to any change in location together with the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 10.02(j).
(u) Outstanding Principal Balance. Each Receivable has an outstanding principal balance of at least $500.
(v) No Bankruptcies. No Obligor on any Receivable was noted in the Servicer’s computer system as having filed for bankruptcy.
(w) No Repossessions. No Receivable was secured by a Financed Vehicle that had been repossessed without reinstatement of the related contract.
(x) Chattel Paper. Each Receivable constitutes “tangible chattel paper” as defined in the UCC.
(y) Computer Records. World Omni and the Depositor will cause their accounting and computer records to be marked to indicate the sale and assignment of the Receivables from World Omni to the Depositor and from the Depositor to the Trust.
(z) Code. Each of the Receivables is identified on World Omni’s computer files by a code indicating the Receivables are owned by the Trust and pledged to the Indenture Trustee. The Receivables are the only Contracts listed on the Schedule of Receivables, are the only Contracts identified on World Omni’s computer files by such code, and are not identified on World Omni’s computer files by any other code.
Section 3.02 Repurchase upon Breach. The Depositor, the Servicer or the Owner Trustee (on behalf of the Trust), as the case may be, shall inform the other parties to this Agreement and the Indenture Trustee promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of any breach of World Omni’s representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 3.01. Unless any such
8
breach shall have been cured by the last day of the second Collection Period following the discovery thereof by the Owner Trustee or receipt by the Owner Trustee of written notice from the Depositor or the Servicer of such breach, World Omni shall be obligated to repurchase any Receivable materially and adversely affected by any such breach as of such last day (or, at World Omni’s option, the last day of the first Collection Period following the discovery) and World Omni shall deliver a revised Schedule of Receivables to the Depositor and the Trust which shall reflect the repurchase of such Receivables). In consideration of the repurchase of any such Receivable, World Omni shall remit the Purchase Amount, in the manner specified in Section 5.05. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.03, the sole remedy of the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders or the Certificateholders with respect to a breach of representations and warranties pursuant to Section 3.01 and the agreement contained in this Section shall be to require World Omni to repurchase Receivables pursuant to this Section, subject to the conditions contained herein.
Section 3.03 Custody of Receivable Files. To assure uniform quality in servicing the Receivables and to reduce administrative costs, the Issuing Entity hereby revocably appoints the Servicer, and the Servicer hereby accepts such appointment, to act for the benefit of the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee as custodian of the following documents or instruments which are hereby or will hereby be constructively delivered to the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Issuing Entity, as of the Closing Date with respect to each Initial Receivable and as of the Subsequent Transfer Date with respect to each Subsequent Receivable, if any:
(a) the fully executed original Contract of such Receivable;
(b) the credit application fully executed by the Obligor or such other information as the Servicer may keep on file in accordance with its customary servicing procedures;
(c) the original certificate of title or such documents that the Servicer or the Depositor shall keep on file, in accordance with its customary procedures, evidencing the security interest of World Omni in the Financed Vehicle; and
(d) any and all other documents that the Servicer or the Depositor shall keep on file, in accordance with its customary procedures, relating to a Receivable, an Obligor or a Financed Vehicle.
Section 3.04 Duties of Servicer as Custodian.
(a) Safekeeping. The Servicer shall hold the Receivable Files as custodian for the benefit of the Issuing Entity and maintain such accurate and complete accounts, records and computer systems pertaining to each Receivable File as shall enable the Issuing Entity to comply with this Agreement. In performing its duties as custodian the Servicer shall act with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to the receivable files relating to all comparable automotive receivables that the Servicer services for itself. The Servicer shall promptly report to the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee any failure on its part to hold the Receivable Files and maintain its accounts, records and computer systems as herein provided and shall promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require an initial review or any periodic review by the Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee of the Receivable Files.
9
(b) Maintenance of and Access to Records. The Servicer shall maintain each Receivable File at one of its offices, or at such other location, in each case as specified in Schedule B or at such other office or location as shall be specified to the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee by written notice prior to any change in location together with the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 10.02(j).
The Servicer shall provide to the Indenture Trustee access to any and all documentation regarding the Receivables in such cases where the Indenture Trustee is required in connection with the enforcement of the rights of the Noteholders, or by applicable statutes or regulations to review such documentation, such access being afforded without charge but only (a) upon reasonable request, (b) during normal business hours, (c) subject to the Servicer’s normal security and confidentiality procedures and (d) at offices designated by the Servicer. Nothing in this Section 3.04(b) shall derogate from the obligation of the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section 3.04(b) as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.04(b).
(c) Release of Documents. Upon instruction from the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall release any Receivable File to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee’s agent or the Indenture Trustee’s designee, as the case may be, at such place or places as the Indenture Trustee may designate, as soon as practicable.
Section 3.05 Instructions; Authority To Act. The Servicer shall be deemed to have received proper instructions with respect to the Receivable Files upon its receipt of written instructions signed by a Trust Officer of the Indenture Trustee.

custodian may be terminated by the Indenture Trustee or by the Holders of the Controlling Securities evidencing not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Securities or, with the consent of Holders of the Controlling Securities evidencing not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Securities, by the Owner Trustee, in the same manner as the Indenture Trustee or such Holders may terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer under Section 8.01. As soon as practicable after any termination of such appointment, the Servicer shall deliver the Receivable Files to the Indenture Trustee or the Indenture Trustee’s agent at such place or places as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably designate.
ARTICLE IV
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES
Section 4.01 Duties of Servicer. The Servicer, for the benefit of the Issuing Entity (to the extent provided herein), shall manage, service, administer and receive collections on the Receivables (other than Purchased Receivables) with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to all comparable automotive receivables that it services for itself or others. The Servicer’s duties shall include collection and posting of all payments, making Advances, responding to inquiries of Obligors on such Receivables, investigating delinquencies, sending payment coupons to Obligors, reporting tax information to Obligors, accounting for collections, paying the fee of the Administrator out of its own funds pursuant to Section 1.03 of the Administration Agreement and furnishing a Servicer’s Certificate to the Indenture Trustee. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.02, the Servicer shall follow its customary standards, policies and procedures in performing its duties as Servicer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer is authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholders and the Noteholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to such Receivables or to the Financed Vehicles securing such Receivables. If the Servicer shall commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Receivable, the Issuing Entity (in the case of a Receivable other than a Purchased Receivable) shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned, solely for the purpose of collection, such Receivable to the Servicer. If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it shall be held that the Servicer may not enforce a Receivable on the ground that it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce such Receivable, the Owner Trustee shall, at the Servicer’s expense and direction, take steps to enforce such Receivable, including bringing suit in its name or the name of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders. The Owner Trustee shall upon the written request of the Servicer furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder.
Section 4.02 Collection and Allocation of Receivable Payments. The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Receivables as and when the same shall become due and shall follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to all comparable automotive receivables that it services for itself or others. The Servicer shall allocate collections as set forth in Section 5.03. The Servicer may grant extensions (although not more than six for the life of any Receivable (excluding the Servicer’s Payment Extension Program)), rebates or adjustments on a Receivable, which shall
11
not, for the purposes of this Agreement, modify the day of the month on which payment is due (except in connection with a limited number of accommodations for Obligors of occasional requests in accordance with the Servicer’s customary servicing procedures) or change the method under which scheduled payments of interest are computed on such Receivable (other than with respect to the Servicer’s Payment Extension Program); provided, however, that if the Servicer extends the date for final payment by the Obligor of any Receivable beyond the Final Scheduled Maturity Date, it shall promptly repurchase the Receivable from the Issuing Entity in accordance with the terms of Section 4.07. The Servicer shall not retain any fees in connection with any extension of a Receivable but shall instead deposit such fees into the Collection Account within two Business Days of receipt (including receipt of proper instructions regarding where to allocate such payment). The Servicer may in its discretion waive any late payment charge or any other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing a Receivable. The Servicer shall not agree to any alteration of the interest rate or the originally scheduled payments on any Receivable, other than as provided herein or as required by law.
Section 4.03 Realization upon Receivables. On behalf of the Issuing Entity, the Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its customary servicing procedures, to repossess or otherwise convert the ownership of the Financed Vehicle securing any Receivable as to which the Servicer shall have determined eventual payment in full is unlikely. The Servicer shall follow such customary and usual practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable in its servicing of automotive receivables, which may include selling the Financed Vehicle at public or private sale. The Servicer is hereby authorized to exercise its discretion, consistent with its customary servicing procedures and the terms of this Agreement, in servicing Defaulted Receivables so as to maximize the realization of those Defaulted Receivables, including the discretion to choose to sell or not to sell any of the Defaulted Receivables. The Servicer shall not be liable for any such exercise of its discretion made in good faith.
Section 4.04 Physical Damage Insurance. To the extent applicable, the Servicer shall not take any action that would result in noncoverage under such physical damage insurance policy which, but for the actions of the Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any physical damage insurance policy shall be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.02. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Servicer shall not force place any insurance coverage.
Section 4.05 Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Vehicles. The Servicer shall, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures, take such steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest created by each Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle. The Servicer is hereby authorized to take such steps as are necessary to re-perfect such security interest on behalf of the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee in the event of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle or for any other reason.
Section 4.06 Covenants of Servicer. The Servicer shall not release the Financed Vehicle securing any Receivable from the security interest granted by such Receivable in whole or in part except in the event of (i) payment by the Obligor (a) in full or (b) in part with a remaining total payment shortage amount which, according to the Servicer’s customary procedures, does not exceed the amount of total payment shortage that would permit the Servicer
12
to release the related Financed Vehicle from the security interest or (ii) repossession, nor shall the Servicer impair the rights of the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders in such Receivable.
Section 4.07 Purchase of Receivables upon Breach. The Servicer or the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall inform the other party and the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of any breach pursuant to Section 4.02, 4.05, 4.06 or 7.01. Unless the breach shall have been cured by the last day of the second Collection Period following such discovery or written notice (or, at the Servicer’s election, the last day of the first following Collection Period), the Servicer shall purchase any Receivable materially and adversely affected by such breach as of such last day and the Servicer shall deliver a revised Schedule of Receivables to the Depositor and the Trust, which shall reflect the repurchase of such Receivables. In consideration of the purchase of any such Receivable pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Servicer shall remit the Purchase Amount in the manner specified in Section 5.05. Subject to Section 7.02, the sole remedy of the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders with respect to a breach pursuant to Section 4.02, 4.05, 4.06 or 7.01 shall be to require the Servicer to purchase Receivables pursuant to this Section. The Owner Trustee shall have no duty to conduct any affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase of any Receivable pursuant to this Section.
Section 4.08 Servicing Fee. The Servicing Fee for a Payment Date shall equal the product of (a) one-twelfth, (b) the Servicing Fee Rate and (c) the aggregate Principal Balance of the Receivables as of the first day of the related Collection Period; provided, however, that the Servicing Fee on the initial Payment Date shall be prorated to compensate for the length of the initial Collection Period not equaling one month and will be equal to $1,633,987.04. The Servicer shall also be entitled to all reimbursements for Advances as set forth in Section 5.04, late fees, any prepayment charges, and other administrative fees or similar charges allowed by applicable law with respect to the Receivables, collected (from whatever source) on the Receivables, plus any reimbursement pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 7.02. The Servicer may, as long as it believes that sufficient collections will be available from interest collections on one or more future Payment Dates to pay the Servicing Fee, by notice to the Indenture Trustee on or before a Payment Date, elect to defer all or a portion of the Servicing Fee with respect to the related Collection Period, without interest. If the Servicer defers all of the Servicing Fee, the Servicing Fee for such related Collection Period will be deemed to equal zero.
Section 4.09 Servicer’s Certificate. Not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on each Payment Determination Date, the Servicer shall deliver a Servicer’s Certificate pursuant to Section 5.08. Receivables to be purchased by the Servicer or to be repurchased by World Omni or the Depositor shall be identified by the Servicer by account number with respect to such Receivable (as specified in the Schedule of Receivables).
Section 4.10 Annual Statement as to Compliance; Item 1122 Servicing Criteria Assessment; Notice of Default.
(a) To the extent required by Regulation AB, the Servicer shall deliver (and shall cause each of its Reporting Subcontractors, if any, to delivery) to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Swap Counterparty, on or before the date that is 90 days after the end

The Indenture Trustee shall send a copy of such certificate and the report referred to in Section 4.11 to the Rating Agencies. A copy of such certificate and the report referred to in Section 4.11 may be obtained by any Certificateholder or Noteholder by a request in writing to the Owner Trustee addressed to the Corporate Trust Office. Upon the telephone request of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee will promptly furnish the Owner Trustee a list of Noteholders as of the date specified by the Owner Trustee.

Deliveries pursuant to this Section 4.10(c) may be delivered by electronic mail.

Section 4.11 Annual Independent Certified Public Accountants’ Report.

Access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during the normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer. Nothing in this Section shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section.
Section 4.13 Servicer Expenses. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder, including fees and disbursements of independent accountants, taxes imposed on the Servicer and expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports to Certificateholders and Noteholders.

(ii) The Servicer, for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Swap Counterparty, shall cause to be established and maintained with and in the name of the Indenture Trustee an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Note Distribution Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Noteholders.
(iii) The Servicer, for the benefit of the Noteholders, the Certificateholders and the Swap Counterparty, shall cause to be established and maintained with and in the name of the Indenture Trustee an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Reserve Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders.
(iv) If there is a Funding Period, the Servicer, for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Swap Counterparty, shall cause to be established and maintained with and in the name of the Indenture Trustee an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Pre-Funding Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Noteholders.
(v) If there is a Funding Period, the Servicer, for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Swap Counterparty, shall cause to be established and maintained with and in the name of the Indenture Trustee an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Negative Carry Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Noteholders.
(b) Funds on deposit in the Collection Account, the Note Distribution Account, the Reserve Account, the Pre-Funding Account, if any, and the Negative Carry Account, if any, (collectively the “Trust Accounts”) shall be invested by the Indenture Trustee in Eligible Investments selected by the Servicer. In absence of written direction from the Servicer, such funds shall be invested in Eligible Investments specified in clause (i) of the definition thereof. All such Eligible Investments shall be held by the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders, the Certificateholders and the Swap Counterparty, as applicable; provided, that on each Payment Determination Date all interest and other Investment Earnings on funds on deposit in the Trust Accounts shall be deposited into the Collection Account and shall be deemed to constitute a portion of Available Funds for the related Payment Date. Other than as permitted
16
by the Rating Agencies, funds on deposit in the Collection Account, the Reserve Account, the Note Distribution Account, the Pre-Funding Account, if any, and the Negative Carry Account, if any, shall be invested in Eligible Investments that will mature (A) not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next Payment Date or (B) on or before 10:00 a.m. on such next Payment Date if such investment is held in the corporate trust department of the institution with which the Collection Account, the Reserve Account, the Note Distribution Account, the Pre-Funding Account, if any, and the Negative Carry Account, if any, as applicable, is then maintained and is invested either (i) in a time deposit of the Indenture Trustee rated at least A-1 by Standard & Poor’s and Prime-1 by Moody’s (such account being maintained within the corporate trust department of the Indenture Trustee), (ii) in the Indenture Trustee’s common trust fund so long as such fund is rated in the highest applicable rating category by Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s or (iii) in Eligible Investments specified in clauses (g) or (i) of the definition thereof; and provided that Eligible Investments shall be available for redemption and use by the Indenture Trustee on the relevant Payment Date. In no event shall the Indenture Trustee be held liable for investment losses in Eligible Investments pursuant to this Section 5.01, except in its capacity as obligor thereunder.
(c) (i) The Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Trust Accounts and in all proceeds thereof (including all income thereon) and all such funds, investments, proceeds and income shall be part of the Trust Estate. The Trust Accounts shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders, the Noteholders and the Certificateholders and the Swap Counterparty, as the case may be. If, at any time, any of the Trust Accounts ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Indenture Trustee (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall within 10 Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed 30 calendar days, as to which each Rating Agency may consent) establish a new Trust Account as an Eligible Deposit Account and shall transfer any cash and/or any investments to such new Trust Account. The Indenture Trustee or the other Person holding the Trust Accounts as provided in this Section 5.01(c)(i) shall be the “Securities Intermediary.” If the Securities Intermediary shall be a Person other than the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall obtain the express agreement of such Person to the obligations of the Securities Intermediary set forth in this Section 5.01.
(ii) With respect to the Trust Account Property, the Securities Intermediary agrees, by its acceptance hereof, that:
(A) The Trust Accounts are accounts to which Financial Assets will be credited.
(B) All securities or other property underlying any Financial Assets credited to the Trust Accounts shall be registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary, indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary and in no case will any Financial Asset credited to any of the Trust Accounts be registered in the name of the Trust, the Servicer or the Depositor, payable to the order of the Trust, the Servicer or the Depositor or specially indorsed to the Owner Trustee, the Servicer or the Depositor except to the extent the foregoing have been specially indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank.
17
(C) All property delivered to the Securities Intermediary pursuant to this Agreement will be promptly credited to the appropriate Trust Account.
(D) Each item of property (whether investment property, Financial Asset, security, instrument of cash) credited to a Trust Account shall be treated as a “financial asset” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the New York UCC.
(E) If at any time the Securities Intermediary shall receive any order from the Indenture Trustee directing transfer or redemption of any Financial Asset relating to the Trust Accounts, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such entitlement order without further consent by the Trust, the Servicer, the Depositor or any other Person.
(F) The Trust Accounts shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, regardless of any provision in any other agreement. For purposes of the UCC, New York shall be deemed to be the Securities Intermediary’s jurisdiction and the Trust Accounts (as well as the securities entitlements (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(17) of the UCC) related thereto) shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.
(G) The Securities Intermediary has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement with any other person relating to the Trust Accounts and/or any Financial Assets credited thereto pursuant to which it has agreed to comply with entitlement orders (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the New York UCC) of such other person and the Securities Intermediary has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement with the Trust, the Depositor, the Swap Counterparty, the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee purporting to limit or condition the obligation of the Securities Intermediary to comply with entitlement orders as set forth in Section 5.01(c)(ii)(E) hereof.
(H) Except for the claims and interest of the Indenture Trustee and of the Trust in the Trust Accounts, the Securities Intermediary knows of no claim to, or interest in, the Trust Accounts or in any Financial Asset credited thereto. If any other person asserts any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process) against the Trust Accounts or in any Financial Asset carried therein, the Securities Intermediary will promptly notify the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer, the Swap Counterparty and the Trust thereof.
(I) The Securities Intermediary will promptly send copies of all statements, confirmations and other correspondence concerning the Trust Accounts and/or any Trust Account Property simultaneously to each of the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee.
18
(iii) The Servicer shall have the power, revocable by the Indenture Trustee or by the Owner Trustee with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, to instruct the Indenture Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the Trust Accounts for the purpose of permitting the Servicer or the Owner Trustee to carry out its respective duties hereunder or permitting the Indenture Trustee to carry out its duties under the Indenture.
(d) Pre-Funding Account. On the Closing Date, the Depositor shall deposit in the Pre-Funding Account $0.00 (the “Pre-Funding Account Initial Deposit”) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Notes. On each Subsequent Transfer Date, if any, the Servicer shall instruct the Indenture Trustee to withdraw from the Pre-Funding Account an amount equal to (i) the aggregate Starting Principal Balance of the Subsequent Receivables transferred to the Trust on such Subsequent Transfer Date less the Reserve Account Subsequent Transfer Deposit with respect to such Subsequent Transfer Date and distribute such amount to or upon the order of the Depositor upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.03(b) with respect to such transfer, and (ii) the Reserve Account Subsequent Transfer Deposit with respect to such Subsequent Transfer Date and, on behalf of the Depositor, deposit such amount in the Reserve Account.
If the Pre-Funded Amount has not been reduced to zero on the Payment Date immediately following the calendar month in which the Funding Period, if any, ends, the Servicer shall instruct the Indenture Trustee to transfer from the Pre-Funding Account on such Payment Date any amount then remaining in the Pre-Funding Account to the Note Distribution Account for distribution in accordance with Section 8.02(g) of the Indenture.
(e) Negative Carry Account. On the Closing Date, the Depositor shall deposit in the Negative Carry Account $0.00 (the “Negative Carry Account Initial Deposit”) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Notes.
On each Payment Date during the Funding Period, if any, the Servicer will instruct the Indenture Trustee to withdraw from the Negative Carry Account (i) an amount equal to the Negative Carry Amount and deposit it into the Collection Account for application as Total Available Funds for such Payment Date, and (ii) the excess of the amount on deposit in the Negative Carry Account, if any, over the Required Negative Carry Account Balance (after withdrawal of the Negative Carry Amount for such Payment Date) and deposit it into the Collection Account for application as Available Funds for such Payment Date. In addition, on the Payment Date following the calendar month in which the last day of the Funding Period occurs, the Servicer will instruct the Indenture Trustee to withdraw from the Negative Carry Account the amount remaining on deposit in the Negative Carry Account (after giving effect to all withdrawals from the Negative Carry Account on that Payment Date) and deposit it into the Collection Account for application as Available Funds for such Payment Date.
Section 5.02 Collections. The Servicer shall remit to the Collection Account (and post such amounts to its records) within two Business Days of receipt of payment (including receipt of proper instructions regarding where to allocate such payment) all payments by or on behalf of the Obligors with respect to the Receivables (other than Purchased Receivables) and all Liquidation Proceeds, both as collected during the Collection Period. Notwithstanding the
19
foregoing, for so long as (i) World Omni remains the Servicer, (ii) no Servicer Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (iii) the Rating Agency Condition is met, the Servicer shall remit such collections with respect to the preceding calendar month to the Collection Account on the Payment Determination Date immediately preceding the related Payment Date. For purposes of this Article V the phrase “payments by or on behalf of Obligors” shall mean payments made with respect to the Receivables by Persons other than the Servicer or the Depositor.
Section 5.03 Application of Collections. With respect to each Receivable (other than a Purchased Receivable), payments by or on behalf of the Obligor shall be applied to interest and principal in accordance with the Simple Interest Method.
Section 5.04 Advances. On each Payment Date, the Servicer shall deposit into the Collection Account an amount (such amount, an “Advance”), if positive, equal to (1) the Total Required Advances with respect to such Payment Date minus (2) the Outstanding Advance immediately following the preceding Payment Date. On each Payment Date, the Servicer shall be reimbursed for Outstanding Advances in an amount, if positive, equal to (1) the Outstanding Advances immediately following the preceding Payment Date minus (2) the Total Required Advances with respect to such Payment Date. The Servicer shall not make any advance in respect of principal on the Receivables.
Section 5.05 Additional Deposits. The Servicer and the Depositor shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection Account the aggregate Purchase Amount with respect to Purchased Receivables and the Servicer shall deposit therein all amounts to be paid under Section 9.01. The Servicer will deposit the aggregate Purchase Amount with respect to Purchased Receivables when such obligations are due. The Servicer shall, if necessary, deposit all Advances required to be made pursuant to Section 5.04 in the Collection Account on each Payment Date. All such other deposits shall be made on the Payment Determination Date for the related Collection Period.
Section 5.06 Distributions.

ARTICLE VIII
DEFAULT
Section 8.01 Servicer Default. Any one of the following events shall constitute a default by the Servicer (a “Servicer Default”):
(a) any failure by the Servicer to deliver to the Indenture Trustee for deposit in any of the Trust Accounts or distribution to the Certificateholders any required payment or to direct the Indenture Trustee to make any required distributions therefrom, which failure continues unremedied for a period of five Business Days after written notice of such failure is received by the Servicer from the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or after discovery of such failure by an officer of the Servicer; or
(b) failure by the Servicer or, if the Servicer is an affiliate of the Depositor, the Depositor, as the case may be, duly to observe or to perform in any material respect any other covenants or agreements of the Servicer or the Depositor (as the case may be) set forth in this Agreement or any other Basic Document, which failure shall (i) materially and adversely affect the rights of Certificateholders or Noteholders and (ii) continue unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given (A) to the Servicer or the Depositor (as the case may be) by the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or (B) to the Servicer or the Depositor (as the case may be), and to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee by the Holders of the Notes evidencing not less than 50% of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Securities and the Holders (as defined in the Trust Agreement) of Certificates evidencing not less than 50% of the percentage interest of the Certificates; or
33
(c) the occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to the Servicer or, if the Servicer is an affiliate of the Depositor, the Depositor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a delay in or failure of performance referred to under clause (a) above for a period of ten Business Days or referred to under clause (b) for a period of 90 Business Days, shall not constitute a Servicer Default if such delay or failure could not be prevented by the exercise of reasonable diligence by the Servicer and was caused by an act of God or other similar occurrence. Upon the occurrence of any such event, the Servicer shall not be relieved from using its best efforts to perform its obligations in a timely manner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Servicer shall provide the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Noteholders and the Certificateholders prompt notice of such failure or delay by it, together with a description of its efforts to so perform its obligations.
So long as the Servicer Default shall not have been remedied or stayed by the application of the above paragraph, either the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of the Notes evidencing not less than 50% of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Securities, by notice then given in writing to the Servicer (and to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee if given by the Noteholders) may terminate all the rights and obligations (other than the obligations set forth in Section 7.02 hereof) of the Servicer under this Agreement. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Notes, the Certificates or the Receivables or otherwise, shall, without further action, pass to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee or such successor Servicer as may be appointed under Section 8.02; and, without limitation, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee are hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, for the benefit of the predecessor Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the Receivables and related documents, or otherwise. The predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the predecessor Servicer under this Agreement, including the transfer to the successor Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the predecessor Servicer for deposit, or shall thereafter be received by it with respect to any Receivable. Further, in such event, the Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the servicing of the Receivables to the successor Servicer, and as promptly as practicable, the Servicer shall provide to the successor Servicer a current computer tape containing all information from the Receivables Files required for the proper servicing of the Receivables, together with the documentation containing any and all information necessary for the use of the tape. All reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with transferring the Receivable Files to the successor Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as Servicer pursuant to this section shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. Upon receipt of notice of the occurrence of a Servicer Default, the Owner Trustee shall give notice thereof to the Rating Agencies.
34
Section 8.02 Appointment of Successor.
(a) Upon the Servicer’s receipt of notice of termination pursuant to Section 8.01 or the Servicer’s resignation in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the predecessor Servicer shall continue to perform its functions as Servicer under this Agreement, in the case of termination, only until the date specified in such termination notice or, if no such date is specified in a notice of termination, until receipt of such notice and, in the case of resignation, until the later of (i) the date 45 days from the delivery to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee of written notice of such resignation (or written confirmation of such notice) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) the date upon which the predecessor Servicer shall become unable to act as Servicer, as specified in the notice of resignation and accompanying Opinion of Counsel. In the event of the Servicer’s termination hereunder, the Indenture Trustee shall appoint a successor Servicer, and the successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in form acceptable to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee. In the event that a successor Servicer has not been appointed at the time when the predecessor Servicer has ceased to act as Servicer in accordance with this Section, the Indenture Trustee without further action shall automatically be appointed the successor Servicer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee. Notwithstanding the above, the Indenture Trustee shall, if it shall be legally unable so to act, appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established institution, having a net worth of not less than $100,000,000 and whose regular business shall include the servicing of automotive receivables, as the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement.
(b) Upon appointment, the successor Servicer (including the Indenture Trustee acting as successor Servicer) shall be the successor in all respects to the predecessor Servicer and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities arising thereafter relating thereto placed on the predecessor Servicer and shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee and all the rights granted to the predecessor Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
(c) The successor Servicer may not resign unless it is prohibited from serving as such by law.
Section 8.03 Notification to Noteholders and Certificateholders. Upon any termination of, or appointment of a successor to, the Servicer pursuant to this Article VIII, the Owner Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders, and the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Noteholders and the Rating Agencies.
Section 8.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 50% of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Securities may, on behalf of all Noteholders, waive in writing any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except a default in making any required deposits to or payments from any of the Trust Accounts or to the Certificateholders in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereto.
Section 8.05 Payment of Servicing Fees; Repayment of Advances. If the Servicer shall change, the predecessor Servicer shall be entitled to (i) receive any accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees through the date of such Successor Servicer’s acceptance hereunder in accordance with Section 4.08 and (ii) reimbursement for Outstanding Advances pursuant to Section 5.08 with respect to all Advances made by the predecessor Servicer.

To exercise such option, the Servicer shall deposit pursuant to Section 5.05 in the Collection Account an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Amount for the Receivables (including Defaulted Receivables), and shall succeed to all interests in and to the Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be permitted to exercise such option unless the amount to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to the preceding sentence is greater than or equal to the sum of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, all accrued but unpaid interest (including any overdue interest and premium) thereon and all amounts owing to the Swap Counterparty under the Interest Rate Swaps.
(b) As described in Article IX of the Trust Agreement, notice of any termination of the Trust shall be given by the Servicer to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee as soon as practicable after the Servicer has received notice thereof.
(c) Following the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture and the payment in full of the principal of and interest on the Notes, the Certificateholders will succeed to the rights of the Noteholders hereunder other than Section 5.07(b) and the Owner Trustee will succeed to the rights of, and assume the obligations of, the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Agreement.

None of World Omni, the Depositor or the Issuing Entity has authorized the filing of, and is not aware of, any financing statements against World Omni, the Depositor or the Issuing Entity that include a description of collateral covering the Receivables other than any financing statement relating to the security interests granted to the Depositor, the Issuing Entity, and the Indenture Trustee under the Basic Documents or a financing statement that has been terminated with respect to the Receivables.
