CONVEYANCE OF RECEIVABLES; ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES

Section 2.01 Conveyance of Receivables.

(a) Receivables. In consideration of the Issuing Entity’s delivery of the Notes and the Certificates to, or upon the order of, the Depositor, the Depositor does hereby enter into this Agreement and the Second Step Receivables Assignment in the form attached as Exhibit B to this Agreement (the “Second Step Receivables Assignment”) and agrees to fulfill all of its obligations hereunder and thereunder and to sell, transfer, assign and otherwise convey to the Issuing Entity, without recourse:

(i) all right, title and interest of the Depositor in, to and under the Receivables listed on the Schedule of Receivables and all monies received thereon on and after the Cutoff Date, exclusive of any amounts allocable to the premium for physical damage collateral protection insurance required by the Servicer or the Seller covering any related Financed Vehicle;

(ii) the interest of the Depositor in the security interests in the Financed Vehicles granted by Obligors pursuant to the Receivables and, to the extent permitted by law, any accessions thereto;

(iii) the interest of the Depositor in any proceeds from claims on any physical damage, credit life, credit disability or other insurance policies covering the related Financed Vehicles or Obligors;

(iv) the interest of the Depositor in any proceeds from recourse against Dealers on the Receivables;

(v) all right, title and interest of the Depositor in, to and under the Pooling Agreement, the First Step Receivables Assignment, the Servicing Agreement and the Custodian Agreement, including the right of the Depositor to cause the Seller or Servicer to repurchase or purchase Receivables under certain circumstances; and

(vi) all present and future claims, demands, causes and choses in action in respect of any or all of the foregoing described in clauses (i) through (v) above and all payments on or under and all proceeds of every kind and nature whatsoever in respect of any or all of the foregoing, including all proceeds of the conversion of any or all of the foregoing, voluntary or involuntary, into cash or other liquid property, all cash proceeds, accounts, accounts receivable, notes, drafts, acceptances, chattel paper, checks, deposit accounts, insurance proceeds, investment property, payment intangibles, general intangibles, condemnation awards, rights to payment of any and every kind and other forms of obligations and receivables, instruments and other property which at any time constitute all or part of or are included in the proceeds of any of the foregoing.

(b) It is the intention of the Depositor and the Issuing Entity that the transfers and assignments contemplated by this Agreement and the Second Step Receivables Assignment shall constitute sales of the Receivables from the Depositor to the Issuing Entity for the purpose of applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other similar laws, so that the beneficial interest in and title to the Receivables shall not be part of the Depositor’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Depositor under any bankruptcy law.

(c) The foregoing sales, transfers, assignments and other conveyances do not constitute and are not intended to result in the creation of or an assumption by the Issuing Entity of any obligation of the Servicer, the Depositor or any other Person to the Obligors, Dealers, insurers or any other Person in connection with the Receivables, any Dealer Agreements, any insurance policies or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of them.

Section 2.02 Acceptance by Issuing Entity. The Issuing Entity does hereby accept all consideration conveyed by the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.01(a), and declares that the Issuing Entity shall hold such consideration upon the trust set forth in the Trust Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders, subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, this Agreement and the Second Step Receivables Assignment and the rights of the Noteholders with respect thereto. The Issuing Entity hereby agrees to and accepts the appointment and authorization of Ally Financial as Servicer under Section 2.01 of the Servicing Agreement. The parties agree that this Agreement, the Second Step Receivables Assignment, the Indenture, the Trust Agreement, the Notes and the Certificates constitute the Further Transfer Agreements for purposes of the Pooling Agreement.

Section 2.03 Representations and Warranties as to the Receivables. Pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(v), the Depositor assigns to the Issuing Entity all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Pooling Agreement. Such assigned right, title and interest includes the benefit of the representations and warranties of the Seller made to the Depositor pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Pooling Agreement. The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Issuing Entity that the Depositor has taken no action which would cause such representations and warranties of the Seller to be false in any material respect as of the Closing Date. The Depositor further acknowledges that the Issuing Entity and its permitted assignees rely on the representations and warranties of the Depositor under this Agreement and of the Seller under the Pooling Agreement in accepting the Receivables and executing and delivering the Notes and the Certificates. The foregoing representation and warranty speaks as of the Closing Date, but shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the Issuing Entity and the pledge thereof to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.

Section 2.04 Repurchase of Receivables Upon Breach of Warranty. Upon discovery by the Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee of a breach of any of the representations and warranties in Section 3.01 of the Pooling Agreement or in Section 2.03 or Section 3.01 of this Agreement that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders in any Receivable, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice thereof to the others. As of the last day of the second Monthly Period following its discovery or its receipt of notice of such breach (or, at the Depositor’s election, the last day of the first Monthly Period following such discovery or receipt of notice), unless such breach shall have been cured in all material respects, in the event of a breach of the representations and warranties made by the Depositor in Section 2.03 or Section 3.01, the Depositor shall repurchase, or in the event of a breach of a representation and warranty under Section 3.01 of the Pooling Agreement, the Depositor shall use reasonable efforts to enforce the obligation of the Seller under Section 4.04 of the Pooling Agreement to repurchase such Receivable from the Issuing Entity on the related Distribution Date. The repurchase price to be paid by the breaching party (the “Warranty Purchaser”) shall be an amount equal to the Warranty Payment calculated as of the last day of the related Monthly Period. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Warranty Purchaser to repurchase any Receivable as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing, and the obligation of the Depositor to enforce the Seller’s obligation to repurchase such Receivables pursuant to the Pooling Agreement shall, if such obligations are fulfilled, constitute the sole remedy against the Depositor or the Seller for such breach available to the Issuing Entity, the Financial Parties, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee.

Section 3.04 Limitation on Liability of the Depositor and Others. The Depositor and any director or officer or employee or agent of the Depositor 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 under this Agreement and the Second Step Receivables Assignment. The Depositor and any director or officer or employee or agent of the Depositor shall be reimbursed by the Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee, as applicable, for any contractual damages, liability or expense incurred by reason of such trustee’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence (gross negligence in the case of the Owner Trustee) (except errors in judgment) in the performance of its duties under this Agreement, the Second Step Receivables Assignment, the Indenture or the Trust Agreement, or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, the Second Step Receivables Assignment, the Indenture or the Trust Agreement. In no event, however, shall the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee be liable to the Depositor for any damages in the nature of special, indirect or consequential damages, however styled, including lost profits. The Depositor shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its obligations as the Depositor of the Receivables under this Agreement and the Second Step Receivables Assignment and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability.

Section 3.05 The Depositor May Own Notes or Certificates. Each of the Depositor and any Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Depositor may in its individual or any other capacity become the owner or pledgee of Notes or Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Depositor or an affiliate thereof, except as otherwise specifically provided herein. Except as otherwise provided herein, Notes or Certificates so owned by or pledged to the Depositor or such controlling or commonly controlled Person shall have an equal and proportionate benefit under the provisions of this Agreement, without preference, priority or distinction as among all of such Notes or Certificates, respectively.

Section 3.06 Compliance with the FDIC Rule. The Depositor agrees to (i) perform the covenants set forth in Article XII of the Indenture applicable to it and (ii) facilitate compliance with Article XII of the Indenture by the Ally Parties.

ARTICLE IV

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 4.01 Amendment.

(a) This Agreement may be amended by the Depositor and the Issuing Entity, and if such amendment materially and adversely affects the rights of the Indenture Trustee, with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, and, if such amendment materially and adversely affects the rights of the Owner Trustee under this Agreement, with the consent of the Owner Trustee, but without the consent of any of the Financial Parties, (i) to cure any ambiguity, (ii) to correct or supplement any provision in this Agreement that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision in this Agreement or any other Basic Documents, (iii) to add to the covenants, restrictions or obligations of the Depositor, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or (iv) to add, change or eliminate any other provision of this Agreement in any manner that shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Financial Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, an Opinion of Counsel shall be delivered to the effect that such amendment would not cause the Issuing Entity to fail to qualify as an investment trust described in Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-4(c) that is a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes.

(b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor and the Issuing Entity, and if such amendment materially and adversely affects the rights of the Indenture Trustee, with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, the consent of Noteholders whose Notes evidence not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class as of the close of the preceding Distribution Date, and, if such amendment materially and adversely affects the rights of the Owner Trustee under this Agreement, with the consent of the Owner Trustee, and if any Person other than the Depositor holds any Certificates, the consent of the Majority Certificateholders as of the close of the preceding Distribution Date (which consent, whether given pursuant to this Section 4.01 or pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement, shall be conclusive and binding on such Person and on all future holders of such Note or Certificate and of any Note or Certificate issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange thereof or in lieu thereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon the Note or Certificate) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement, or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) increase or reduce the interest rate or principal amount of any Note or change any Distribution Date or the Final Scheduled Distribution Date of any Note or distributions on the Certificates (without the consent of the holders hereof), (ii) increase or reduce the amount of the required Specified Reserve Account Balance without the consent of all of the Noteholders or Certificateholders then outstanding, (iii) adversely affect the rating of any Securities by any of the Rating Agencies without the consent of the holders of two-thirds of the Outstanding Amount of an affected class of Notes or two-thirds of the Voting Interests of affected Certificates, as appropriate, each as of the close of the preceding Distribution Date or (iv) reduce the aforesaid percentage required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the holders of all Notes and Certificates then outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, an Opinion of Counsel shall be delivered to the effect that such amendment would not cause the Issuing Entity to fail to qualify as an investment trust described in Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-4(c) that is a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes.

(c) Prior to the execution of any such amendment or consent pursuant to Section 4.01(a) or (b), the Indenture Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment or consent to the Depositor, who promptly shall provide such notice to the Rating Agencies.

(d) Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent pursuant to Section 4.01(a) or (b), the Issuing Entity shall furnish a copy of such amendment or consent to each Interested Party and to the Depositor, who promptly shall provide such copy to each Rating Agency.

(e) It shall not be necessary for the consent of Noteholders or Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.01(b) to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents (and any other consents of Noteholders or Certificateholders provided for in this Agreement) and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Noteholders and Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee may prescribe, including the establishment of record dates pursuant to paragraph number 2 of the Note Depository Agreement.

(f) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner 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 the Opinion of Counsel referred to in Section 10.02(h) of the Servicing Agreement. The Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects such trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.

(g) The Depositor agrees that it shall not amend or agree to any amendment of the Pooling Agreement unless such amendment would be permissible under the terms of this Section 4.01 as if this Section 4.01 were contained in the Pooling Agreement.

Section 4.02 Protection of Title to Trust.

(a) The Depositor shall authorize or execute, as applicable, and file such financing statements or amendments to financing statements and cause to be authorized or executed, as applicable, 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 Noteholders, the Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee and the Issuing Entity under this Agreement and the Second Step Receivables Assignment in the Receivables and in the proceeds thereof. The Depositor shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon as available following such filing.

(b) The Depositor shall not change its State of formation or its name, identity or structure in any manner that would, could or might make any financing statement or continuation statement filed in accordance with paragraph (a) above seriously misleading within the meaning of the UCC, unless it shall have given the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee at least sixty (60) days prior written notice thereof.

(c) The Depositor shall give the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee at least sixty (60) days prior written notice of any relocation of its principal executive office or change of its jurisdiction of formation if, as a result of such relocation or change of jurisdiction, the applicable provisions of the UCC would require the filing of any amendment of any previously filed financing or continuation statement or of any new financing statement.

(d) If at any time the Depositor proposes to sell, grant a security interest in, or otherwise transfer any interest in motor vehicle receivables to any prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee, the Depositor shall give to such prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee computer tapes, records or print-outs (including any restored from back-up archives) that, if they refer in any manner whatsoever to any Receivable, indicate clearly that such Receivable has been sold and is owned by the Issuing Entity unless such Receivable has been paid in full or repurchased by the Depositor or purchased by the Servicer.

(e) To the extent required by law, the Depositor shall cause the Notes and the Certificates to be registered with the Commission pursuant to Section 12(b) or Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act within the time periods specified in such sections.

Section 4.05 Severability of Provisions. If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement or of the Securities or the rights of the holders thereof.

Section 4.06 Assignment.

The Depositor shall provide notice of any such assignment to the Rating Agencies.

Except as otherwise provided in this Article IV, no other Person shall have any right or obligation hereunder.

Section 4.08 Separate Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

This Agreement and the Indenture create a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Purchased Property in favor of the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Depositor and the Issuing Entity, respectively.

2.	All steps necessary to perfect the Depositor’s security interest against each Obligor in the property securing the Purchased Property have been taken.

3.	Prior to the sale of the Purchased Property to the Issuing Entity under this Agreement, the Receivables constitute “tangible chattel paper” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

4.	The Depositor owns and has good and marketable title to the Purchased Property free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person.

The Depositor has caused or will have caused, within ten (10) days, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Purchased Property granted to the Issuing Entity hereunder and the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture.

Other than the security interest granted to the Depositor pursuant to the Basic Documents, the Issuing Entity under the Trust Sale Agreement and the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture, none of the Seller, the Depositor or the Issuing Entity has pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Purchased Property. None of the Seller, the Depositor or the Issuing Entity has authorized the filing of, nor is the Depositor aware of, any financing statements against the Seller, the Depositor or the Issuing Entity that include a description of collateral covering the Purchased Property other than the financing statements relating to the security interests granted to the Depositor, the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee under the Basic Documents or any financing statement that has been terminated. The Depositor is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Seller, the Depositor or the Issuing Entity.
