ARTICLE V.

REPURCHASES

SECTION 5.1 Repurchase of Receivables Upon Breach of Warranty. Upon the occurrence of a Repurchase Event, AFS shall (unless the breach which is the subject of such Repurchase Event shall have been cured in all material respects by the last day of the second Settlement Period after such breach), repurchase the Receivable relating thereto (whether or not it was the Seller thereof) from the Purchaser and, simultaneously with the repurchase of the Receivable, AFS shall deposit the Purchase Amount in full, without deduction or offset, to the Collection Account, pursuant to Section 2.7(b) of the Security Agreement. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of AFS to repurchase any Receivable, as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing, shall, if such obligation is fulfilled, constitute the sole remedy against

AFS or AMC for such breach available to Purchaser, the Note Insurer or the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties except as otherwise specified in the Insurance Agreement. The provisions of this Section 5.1 are intended to grant the Collateral Agent and the Note Insurer a direct right against AFS to demand performance hereunder, and in connection therewith, AFS waives any requirement of prior demand against Purchaser with respect to such repurchase obligation. Any such repurchase shall take place in the manner specified in Section 2.7 of the Servicing and Custodian Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Servicing and Custodian Agreement to the contrary, the obligation of AFS under this Section shall not terminate upon a termination of AFS as Servicer under the Servicing and Custodian Agreement and shall be performed in accordance with the terms hereof notwithstanding the failure of the Servicer or Purchaser to perform any of their respective obligations with respect to such Receivable under the Servicing and Custodian Agreement.

SECTION 5.2 Reassignment of Purchased Receivables. Upon deposit in the Collection Account of the Purchase Amount of any Receivable repurchased by AFS under Section 5.1 hereof or Section 2.7 of the Servicing and Custodian Agreement, Purchaser (at AFS’s expense) shall take such steps as may be reasonably requested by AFS in order to assign to AFS all of Purchaser’s and the Collateral Agent’s right, title and interest in and to such Receivable and all security and documents and all Other Conveyed Property conveyed to Purchaser and the Collateral Agent directly relating thereto, without recourse, representation or warranty, except as to the absence of Liens created by or arising as a result of actions of Purchaser or the Collateral Agent. Such assignment shall be a sale and assignment outright, and not for security. If, following the reassignment of a Purchased Receivable, in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding, it is held that AFS may not enforce any such Receivable on the ground that it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Receivable, Purchaser and the Collateral Agent shall, at the expense of AFS, take such steps as AFS deems reasonably necessary to enforce the Receivable, including bringing suit in Purchaser’s or in the Collateral Agent’s name.

SECTION 5.3 Waivers. No failure or delay on the part of Purchaser, or the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties as assignee of Purchaser, in exercising any power, right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or remedy preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy.
