-2-
(b) It is the intention of the Seller and ACOLT that the sale, transfer, assignment and other conveyances of the Sold Assets contemplated by this Agreement and Lease Assets Assignment shall constitute a sale of the Sold Assets from the Seller to ACOLT and the beneficial interest in and title to the Sold Assets shall not be part of the Seller’s estate in the event of the filing of a petition for insolvency, receivership or conservatorship by or against the Seller or placement into receivership or conservatorship of the Seller under any relevant bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or conservatorship law.
(c) The sale, transfer, assignment and other conveyances of the Sold Assets contemplated by this Agreement and the assignment delivered by the Seller in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Lease Assets Assignment”) do not constitute and are not intended to result in the creation of or an assumption by ACOLT of any obligation of the Seller to the Lessees, Dealers, insurers or any other Person in connection with the Lease Assets, any Supplemental Dealer Agreements, any insurance policies or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of them.
(d) In consideration of ACOLT’s delivery of the Secured Notes pursuant to Section 2.02, the Seller shall execute and deliver to ACOLT the Lease Assets Assignment.

The sale and purchase of the Sold Assets shall take place at the offices of Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP, 000 Xxxxx XxXxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, on the Closing Date at a time mutually agreeable to the Seller and ACOLT, and shall occur simultaneously with the closing of transactions contemplated by the Secured Notes Transfer Agreements.

ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
SECTION 3.01 Representations and Warranties as to the Lease Assets. The Seller makes the following representations and warranties as to the Lease Assets on which ACOLT relies in accepting the Lease Assets. Such representations and warranties speak as of the Closing Date, and shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the Lease Assets to ACOLT:
(a) Characteristics of Leases. Each Lease (A) was originated by a Dealer for the original retail lease of a Leased Vehicle (excluding fleet leases, which are leases made to lessees which have leased five or more vehicles through Ally Bank), was fully and properly executed by the parties thereto, was purchased by the Seller or its subsidiaries in the ordinary course of its business from such Dealer under an existing Supplemental Dealer Agreement with such Dealer and was validly assigned by such Dealer to the Seller in accordance with its terms, (B) contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for realization against the Leased Vehicle of the benefits of the Lease, and (C) provides for level monthly payments (provided that the payment in the first Monthly Period and the final Monthly Period of the Lease may be different from the level payments) that fully amortize the capitalized cost of the Leased Vehicle as specified in the Lease to the Stated Residual Value over the lease term.
(b) Creation, Perfection and Priority of Security Interests. The representations and warranties regarding creation, perfection and priority of security interests in the Sold Assets, which are attached to this Agreement as Schedule B, are true and correct to the extent they are applicable.
(c) Compliance with Law. All requirements of applicable federal, State and local laws, and regulations thereunder, including any Truth-in-Leasing laws, usury laws, the Federal Truth-in-Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Billing Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxx Warranty Act, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s Regulations “B,” “M” and “Z,” the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act of 2003, the Texas Consumer Credit Code, and State adaptations of the National Consumer Act, the federal Consumer Leasing Act of 1976 and of the Uniform Consumer Credit Code and other consumer credit and consumer leasing laws and equal credit opportunity and disclosure laws, in respect of the Leases, have been complied with in all material respects, and each Lease complied at the time it was originated or made and now complies in all material respects with all legal requirements of the jurisdiction in which it was originated or made.
(d) Binding Obligation. Each Lease represents the genuine, legal, valid and binding payment obligation of the Lessee thereon, enforceable by the holder thereof in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, receivership, conservatorship, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and by equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
-4-
(e) Good Title. Upon conveyance of the Lease Asset by the Dealer to the Seller, (1) the Seller has good title in and to the Lease and the amounts due thereunder, (2) VAULT has good title to the related Leased Vehicle (or all necessary and appropriate action has been commenced that would result in VAULT having good and valid title to the related Leased Vehicle), and (3) the Seller owns and has good title to all of the Beneficial Interest in each related Leased Vehicle, in each case free of any Lien.
(f) Leases in Force. No Lease has been satisfied, subordinated, cancelled, terminated or rescinded.
(g) Insurance. Each Lessee is required to maintain physical damage and liability insurance policies of the type that the Seller requires in accordance with its customary underwriting standards for the purchase of automotive leases.
(h) Lawful Assignment. No Lease was originated in, or is subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction the laws of which would make unlawful the sale, transfer and assignment of such Lease and related Leased Vehicle by the Dealer to the Seller and VAULT and by the Seller to ACOLT and the pledge by ACOLT of its interest in such Lease to the ACOLT Indenture Trustee and the pledges by ACOLT and VAULT of their respective interests in such related Leased Vehicle to each Secured Noteholder.
(i) Underwriting. Each Lease was underwritten in substantial conformance with underwriting guidelines applied to similar leases acquired by the Seller for its own account.
(j) Term of Leases. Each Lease has an original scheduled term of not less than 12 months nor greater than 48 months and a remaining scheduled term of not less than two months.
(k) Location. The Dealer selling each Lease and the related Leased Vehicle to the Seller is located in the United States and each Lessee has a billing address in the United States.
(l) Triple Net Leases. Each Lease (including all other agreements related thereto) is a triple net lease that requires the related Lessee (or another Person other than the Seller) to pay all costs relating to taxes, insurance and maintenance with respect to the related Leased Vehicle.
(m) Leased Vehicles. Each Leased Vehicle purchased by the Seller is a new automobile or light duty truck.
(n) No Defenses. No right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense has been asserted or threatened with respect to any Lease.
(o) No Liens. To the best of the Seller’s knowledge: (1) the Seller has not, and none of its Affiliates has, taken any action that would result in a Lien arising out of an obligation or debt owed by the Seller or such Affiliate for work, labor or materials affecting any Leased Vehicle; (2) the Seller has not received a written notice of any Liens or claims asserted against any Leased Vehicle for work, labor or materials affecting such Leased Vehicle; (3) none

All filings (including UCC filings) necessary in any jurisdiction to give ACOLT a first priority perfected security interest in the Leases have been made or will be made within ten days after the Closing Date, and no filings are necessary with respect to the transfer of the Beneficial Interest in each related Leased Vehicle.
(q) One Original. There is only one original executed copy of each Lease.
(r) Not Delinquent or Liquidating. As of the Cutoff Date as to each Lease, such Lease was not considered past due; that is, the payments due on such Lease in excess of $25 have been received within 30 days of the payment date and no Lease was a Liquidating Lease Asset.
(s) No Documents or Instruments. No Lease, or constituent part thereof, constitutes a “negotiable instrument,” “negotiable document of title” or “electronic chattel paper” (as such terms are used in the UCC).
(t) Aggregate Initial ABS Value. The Aggregate Initial ABS Value of the Lease Assets is $1,353,998,136.66.
(u) No Waiver. Since the Cutoff Date, no provision of a Lease has been waived, altered or modified in any respect, except in accordance with the Servicer’s Customary Servicing Practices and the Servicing Agreement.
(v) Origination Date. Each Lease was originated on or after September 14, 2010.
(w) Lease Assets Schedule. The information set forth in the Lease Assets Schedule is true and correct in all material respects, and no selection procedures believed by the Seller to be adverse to ACOLT or any Secured Noteholder were utilized in selecting such Lease Assets from those assets of the Seller that meet the selection criteria set forth herein.

ARTICLE IV
ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS
SECTION 4.01 Conflicts with Secured Notes Transfer Agreements. To the extent that any provision of Sections 4.02 through 4.04 of this Agreement conflicts with any provision of the Secured Notes Transfer Agreements, the Secured Notes Transfer Agreements shall govern.
SECTION 4.02 Protection of Title.
(a) Filings. The Seller shall authorize or prepare, as applicable, and file such financing statements and amendments to financing statements and cause to be authorized or prepared, 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 ACOLT under this Agreement and the Lease Assets Assignment in the Lease Assets and the other Sold Assets, and in the proceeds thereof. The Seller shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to ACOLT file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon as available following such filing. The Seller hereby authorizes ACOLT and its assigns to file all such financing statements.
(b) Name Change. The Seller shall not change its State of organization or its name, identity or structure in any manner that would, could or might make any financing statement or continuation statement filed by the Seller in accordance with Section 4.02(a) seriously misleading within the meaning of the UCC, unless it shall have given ACOLT and the Further Holders written notice thereof within ten (10) days of such change.
(c) Executive Office; Maintenance of Offices. The Seller shall give ACOLT, the ACOLT Indenture Trustee, the ACOLT Owner Trustee and the Secured Noteholders written notice within ten (10) days of any relocation of its principal executive office if, as a result of such relocation, 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.

-9-
SECTION 4.03 Other Liens or Interests. Except for the conveyances hereunder and under the Lease Assets Assignment and as contemplated by the Secured Notes Transfer Agreements, the Seller shall not sell, pledge, assign or transfer the Lease Assets or any other Sold Assets 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 ACOLT in, to and under such Lease Assets and any other Sold Assets against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Seller.
SECTION 4.04 Warranty Repurchase Events. The Seller hereby covenants and agrees with ACOLT for the benefit of ACOLT and the ACOLT Interested Parties that in the event of a breach of any of the Seller’s representations and warranties contained in Section 3.01 with respect to any Lease Asset (a “Warranty Repurchase Event”), the Seller, unless such breach has been cured in all material respects, shall as of the last day of the second Monthly Period in which such breach was discovered or a notice of such breach was received (or at the Seller’s election, the last day of the first Monthly Period following such discovery or receipt of notice), repurchase such Lease Asset (a “Warranty Lease Asset”) from ACOLT, without further notice from ACOLT hereunder, and, on or prior to the related Distribution Date, the Seller shall deposit the related Warranty Payment into the ACOLT Collection Account. Upon repurchase and payment of such Warranty Payment with respect to any Warranty Lease Asset, the Seller shall be entitled to receive the Released Warranty Amount, if any. The obligation of the Seller to repurchase any Lease Asset as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall, if such obligation is fulfilled, constitute the sole remedy against the Seller for such breach available to ACOLT or the other ACOLT Interested Parties.

SECTION 4.05 Indemnification.

While it is the intention of Ally Bank and ACOLT that the transfer and assignment contemplated by the Sale and Contribution Agreement and the Lease Assets Assignment shall constitute the sale of each Lease Asset and the other Sold Assets from Ally Bank to ACOLT, the Sale and Contribution Agreement and the ACOLT Indenture create a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in each Lease and the other Sold Assets (other than the Leased Vehicles related to the Leases) in favor of ACOLT and the ACOLT Indenture Trustee, respectively, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from Ally Bank and ACOLT, respectively.
2. Within ten days after the Closing Date, all steps necessary to perfect ACOLT’s security interest against the account debtor in the Leases that constitute chattel paper will have been taken.
3. Prior to the pledge of the Leases to the ACOLT Indenture Trustee under the ACOLT Indenture, such Leases constitute “tangible chattel paper,” “payment intangibles,” “instruments,” “certificated securities” or “uncertificated securities” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

6. Other than the sale by Ally Bank to ACOLT pursuant to the Sale and Contribution Agreement and the security interests granted by ACOLT to the ACOLT Indenture Trustee and the Secured Noteholders under the ACOLT Indenture, neither Ally Bank nor ACOLT has pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Lease Assets or the other Sold Assets. Neither Ally Bank nor ACOLT has authorized the filing of, or is aware of, any financing statements against Ally Bank or ACOLT that include a description of collateral covering the Lease Assets or the other Sold Assets, other than the financing statements relating to the interests granted to ACOLT under the Sale and Contribution Agreement and to the ACOLT Indenture Trustee and the Secured Noteholders under the ACOLT Indenture or any financing statement that has been terminated.
