ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES
SECTION 3.01 Duties of the Servicer.
(a) The Servicer is hereby appointed and authorized to act as agent for the Owner of the
Receivables and in such capacity shall manage, service, administer and make collections on the
Receivables with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that the Servicer
exercises with respect to comparable motor vehicle related receivables that it services for itself
or others. The Servicer hereby accepts such appointment and authorization and agrees to perform
the duties of Servicer with respect to the Receivables set forth herein and in the Further Transfer
and Servicing Agreements.
(b) The Servicer’s duties shall include collection and posting of all payments, responding to
inquiries of Obligors, investigating delinquencies, sending payment coupons to Obligors, reporting
tax information to Obligors, policing the collateral, accounting for collections and furnishing
monthly and annual statements to the Owner of any Receivables with respect to distributions,
generating federal income tax information and performing the other duties
5
specified herein.
Subject to the provisions of Section 3.02, the Servicer shall follow its customary
standards, policies and procedures and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do any
and all things in connection with such managing, servicing, administration and collection that it
may deem necessary or desirable.
(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer is hereby authorized and
empowered by the Owner of the Receivables, pursuant to this Section 3.01, to execute and
deliver, on behalf of all Interested Parties, or any of them, any and all instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable
instruments, with respect to the Receivables and the Financed Vehicles. The Servicer is hereby
authorized to commence, in its own name or in the name of the Owner of such Receivable a legal
proceeding, whether through judicial process or (with respect to repossession of a Financed
Vehicle) non-judicial process, to enforce a Liquidating Receivable as contemplated by Section
3.04, to enforce all obligations of the Seller, the Servicer and XXXX under this Agreement and
under the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements or to commence or participate in a legal
proceeding (including a bankruptcy case) relating to or involving a Receivable or a Liquidating
Receivable. If the Servicer commences or participates in such a legal proceeding in its own name,
the Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Owner of the Receivables pursuant to this
Section 3.01 to obtain possession of the related Financed Vehicle and immediately and
without further action on the part of the Owner or the Servicer, the Owner of such Receivable shall
thereupon automatically assign in trust such Receivable and the security interest in the related
Financed Vehicle to the Servicer for the benefit of the Interested Parties for purposes of
commencing or participating in any such proceeding as a party or claimant. Upon such automatic
assignment, the Servicer will be, and will have all the rights and duties of, a
secured party under the UCC and other applicable law with respect to such Receivable and the
related Financed Vehicle. At the Servicer’s request from time to time, the Owner of a Receivable
assigned under this Section 3.01 shall provide the Servicer with evidence of the assignment
in trust for the benefit of the Interested Parties as may be reasonably necessary for the Servicer
to take any of the actions set forth in the following sentence.
(d) The Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Owner of a Receivable to execute
and deliver in the Servicer’s name any notices, demands, claims, complaints, responses, affidavits
or other documents or instruments in connection with any such proceeding. Any Owner of Receivables
shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents and take any other steps
which the Servicer may deem necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its
servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement and the Further Transfer and Servicing
Agreements. Except to the extent required by the preceding two sentences, the authority and rights
granted to the Servicer in this Section 3.01 shall be nonexclusive and shall not be
construed to be in derogation of the retention by the Owner of a Receivable of equivalent authority
and rights.
SECTION 3.02 Collection 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 practices, policies and procedures as it follows with respect to comparable motor
vehicle related receivables that it services for itself or others in connection therewith. Except
as provided in Section 3.07(a)(iii), the Servicer is hereby authorized to grant extensions,
rebates or adjustments
6
on a Receivable without the prior consent of the Owner of such Receivable.
The Servicer is authorized in its discretion to waive any prepayment charge, late payment charge or
any other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing such Receivable.
SECTION 3.03 [Rebates on Full Prepayments on Scheduled Interest Receivables. If the amount of a full Prepayment by an Obligor under a Scheduled Interest Receivable,
after adjustment for the Rebate, is less than the amount that would be payable under the actuarial
method if a full Prepayment were made at the end of the billing month under such Scheduled Interest
Receivable, either because the Rebate calculated under the terms of such Receivable is greater than
the amount calculable under the actuarial method or because the Servicer’s customary servicing
procedure is to credit a greater Rebate, the Servicer, as part of its servicing duties, shall remit
such difference to the Owner of such Receivable.]
SECTION 3.04 Realization Upon Liquidating Receivables. The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts, consistent with its customary practices,
policies and procedures, to repossess or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of any Financed
Vehicle that it has reasonably determined should be repossessed or otherwise converted following a
default under the Receivable secured by the Financed Vehicle. The Servicer is authorized to follow
such customary practices, policies and procedures as it follows with respect to comparable motor
vehicle related receivables that it services for itself or others, which
customary practices, policies and procedures may include reasonable efforts to realize upon
any recourse to Dealers, selling the related Financed Vehicle at public or private sale and other
actions by the Servicer in order to realize upon such a Receivable. [The Servicer is hereby
authorized to exercise its discretion consistent with its customary practices, policies and
procedures and the terms of this Agreement, in servicing Liquidating Receivables so as to maximize
the realization of those Liquidating Receivables, including the discretion to choose to sell or not
to sell any of the Liquidating Receivables on behalf of the Depositor or any other Owner. The
Servicer shall not be liable for any such exercise of its discretion to sell or not to sell such
Liquidating Receivables made in good faith.] The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in
any case in which the Financed Vehicle shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not expend
funds in connection with any repair or towards the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless it
shall determine in its discretion that such repair and/or repossession shall increase the proceeds
of liquidation of the related Receivable by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses.
The Servicer shall be entitled to receive Liquidation Expenses with respect to each Liquidating
Receivable at such time as the Receivable becomes a Liquidating Receivable (or as may otherwise be
provided in the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements).
SECTION 3.05 Maintenance of Insurance Policies. The Servicer shall, in accordance with its customary practices, policies and procedures,
require that each Obligor shall have obtained physical damage insurance covering the Financed
Vehicle as of the execution of the related Receivable. The Servicer shall, in accordance with its
customary practices, policies and procedures, monitor such physical damage insurance with respect
to each Receivable.
SECTION 3.06 Maintenance of Security Interests in Vehicles. The Servicer shall, in accordance with its customary practices, policies and procedures and
at its own expense, take such steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security
interest created by each Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle. The Owner of each Receivable
hereby authorizes
7
the Servicer to re-perfect such security interest on behalf of such Owner, as
necessary because of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle, or for any other reason.
SECTION 3.07 Covenants, Representations and Warranties of the Servicer. As of the [Initial Closing Date with respect to the Initial Receivables and as of each
Subsequent Closing Date with respect to the Additional Receivables purchased on each such
Subsequent] Closing Date, the Servicer hereby makes the following representations, warranties and
covenants on which XXXX relies in accepting the Receivables hereunder and pursuant to the related
First Step Receivables Assignment, and on which the Issuing Entity shall rely in accepting such
Receivables and executing and delivering the Securities under the Further Transfer and Servicing
Agreements.
(a) The Servicer covenants that from and after the closing hereunder:
(i) Liens in Force. Except as contemplated in this Agreement or the Further Transfer
and Servicing Agreements, the Servicer shall not release in whole or in part any Financed Vehicle
from the security interest securing the related Receivable;
(ii) No Impairment. The Servicer shall do nothing to impair the rights or security
interest of XXXX or any Interested Party in and to the Purchased Property; and
(iii) No Modifications. The Servicer shall not amend or otherwise modify any
Receivable such that the Amount Financed, the Annual Percentage Rate, [the total number of
Scheduled Payments (in the case of a Scheduled Interest Receivable)] or the number of originally
scheduled due dates [(in the case of a Simple Interest Receivable)] is altered or such that the
last [Scheduled Payment (in the case of a Scheduled Interest Receivable) or the last] scheduled due
date [(in the case of a Simple Interest Receivable)] occurs after the Final Scheduled Distribution
Date.
(b) Upon the execution of this Agreement and the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements,
the Servicer represents and warrants to the Issuing Entity and XXXX that as of the [Initial Closing
Date with respect to the Initial Receivables and as of each Subsequent Closing Date with respect to
the Additional Receivables purchased on each such Subsequent] Closing Date, in addition to the
representations and warranties in Sections 4.01 and 4.02 being true [that as of
each such Initial Closing Date or Subsequent Closing Date, as applicable:]
(i) Organization and Good Standing. The Servicer has been duly formed and is validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of formation, with power and authority to
own its properties and to conduct its business as such properties are presently owned and such
business is presently conducted, and had at all relevant times, and now has, power, authority and
legal right to service the Receivables as provided herein and in the Further Transfer and Servicing
Agreements;
(ii) Due Qualification. The Servicer is duly qualified to do business as a foreign
entity in good standing, and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals, in all
jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business (including
the servicing of the Receivables) requires or shall require such qualification;
8
(iii) Power and Authority. The Servicer has the power and authority to execute and
deliver this Agreement and the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements and to carry out the terms
of such agreements; and the Servicer’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and
the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements have been duly authorized by the Servicer by all
necessary limited liability company action;
(iv) Binding Obligation. The Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements and this
Agreement, when duly executed and delivered, shall constitute the legal, valid and binding
obligations of the Servicer enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as
enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and by general principles of equity,
regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law;
(v) No Violation. The consummation by the Servicer of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement and the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements, and the fulfillment by the
Servicer of the terms hereof and thereof, shall not conflict
with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or
without notice or lapse of time) a default under, the certificate of formation or limited liability
company agreement of the Servicer, or any indenture, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other
instrument to which the Servicer is a party or by which it is bound, or result in the creation or
imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture,
agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument, other than this Agreement and the Further
Transfer and Servicing Agreements, or violate any law or, to the best of the Servicer’s knowledge,

over the Servicer or any of its properties; and
(vi) No Proceedings. To the Servicer’s knowledge, there are no proceedings or
investigations pending, or threatened, before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or

Agreements or any Securities issued thereunder, (B) seeking to prevent the issuance of such
Securities or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by the Further Transfer and
Servicing Agreements, or (C) seeking any determination or ruling that might materially and
adversely affect this Agreement, the performance by the Servicer of its obligations under, or the
validity or enforceability of, the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements.
SECTION 3.08 Purchase of Receivables Upon Breach of Covenant. Upon discovery by any of the Servicer, XXXX or any party under the Further Transfer and
Servicing Agreements of a breach of any of the covenants set forth in Sections 3.06 and
3.07(a), 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 discovering or receiving
notice of such breach (or, at the Servicer’s election, the last day of the first Monthly Period so

purchase from the Owner thereof any Receivable materially and adversely affected by such breach as
determined by such Owner
9
and, on the related Distribution Date, the Servicer shall pay the
Administrative Purchase Payment[, and shall be entitled to receive the Released Administrative
Amount, if any]. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Servicer to purchase any
Receivable with respect to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall, if such
obligation is fulfilled, constitute the sole remedy against the Servicer for such breach available
to XXXX or any Interested Party.
SECTION 3.09 [Basic] [Total] Servicing Fee; Payment of Certain Expenses by Servicer. The Servicer is entitled to receive the Basic Servicing Fee [and Supplemental Servicing
