POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT is made as of February 13, 2007, between GMAC LLC,
a Delaware limited liability company (referred to herein as “GMAC” in its capacity as
seller of the Receivables specified herein and as the “Servicer” in its capacity as
servicer of the Receivables), and WHOLESALE AUTO RECEIVABLES LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (the “Purchaser”).
WHEREAS, GMAC, in the ordinary course of its business, generates certain payment obligations
by financing the floor plan inventory of motor vehicle dealers;
WHEREAS, GMAC desires to sell and assign to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser desires to
purchase from GMAC, certain of such existing and future payment obligations arising or acquired
from time to time;
WHEREAS, the Purchaser desires to transfer and assign its interest in such payment obligations
to Superior Wholesale Inventory Financing Trust 2007-AE-1 (the “Issuing Entity” or the
“Trust”) pursuant to the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement;
WHEREAS, the Issuing Entity desires to issue the Securities to fund its acquisition of such
payment obligations;
WHEREAS, the Purchaser, the Issuing Entity and GMAC (as the holder of such payment obligations
not sold to the Purchaser hereunder) desire that the Servicer shall service such payment
obligations; and
WHEREAS, the Servicer is willing to service such payment obligations and related payment
obligations in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement for
the benefit of the Purchaser, GMAC, the Issuing Entity and each other party identified or described
herein or in the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement as having an interest therein as owner,
trustee, secured party or holder of the Securities (all such parties being collectively referred to
herein as “Interested Parties”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained,
the parties hereto agree as follows:

All references herein to “the Agreement” or “this Agreement” are to this Pooling and Servicing

ARTICLE II
PURCHASE AND SALE OF ELIGIBLE RECEIVABLES
PURCHASE AND SALE OF ELIGIBLE RECEIVABLES
Section 2.01 Purchase and Sale of Eligible Receivables.
(a) By execution of this Agreement, on the Closing Date, GMAC does hereby sell, transfer,
assign and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, all of its right, title and
interest in, to and under all of the Eligible Receivables existing in the Accounts listed on the
Schedule of Accounts (which is kept at locations listed in Exhibit A) as of the close of
business on the Initial Cut-Off Date and all monies due or to become due thereon after the Initial
Cut-Off Date, all Collateral Security with respect thereto and all amounts received with respect
thereto (including all Interest Collections received in the calendar month in which the Initial
Cut-Off Date occurs, whether or not received prior to the Initial Cut-Off Date) and all proceeds
thereof (including “proceeds” as defined in the UCC and Recoveries).
(b) Subject to Section 6.02, as of each Receivables Purchase Date, GMAC does hereby
sell, transfer, assign and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, all of its right,
title and interest in, to and under all Eligible Receivables created or deemed created in the
Accounts in the Pool of Accounts on such date and all monies due or to become due thereon after
such date, all Collateral Security with respect thereto and all amounts received with respect
thereto and all proceeds thereof (including “proceeds” as defined in the UCC and Recoveries).
(c) It is the intention of GMAC and the Purchaser that the transfers and assignments
contemplated by this Agreement shall constitute sales of the property described in Section
2.01(a) and Section 2.01(b) from GMAC to the Purchaser and that the beneficial interest
in and title to such property shall not be part of GMAC’s estate in the event of the filing of a
bankruptcy petition by or against GMAC under any Insolvency Law. The foregoing sales, transfers,
assignments and conveyances and any subsequent sales, transfers, assignments and conveyances
contemplated hereby do not constitute, and are not intended to result in, the creation or an
assumption by the Purchaser of any obligation of the Servicer, GMAC (if GMAC is not the Servicer),
General Motors or any other Person in connection with the Receivables described above or under any
agreement or instrument relating thereto, including any obligation to any Dealers.
(d) Subject to Section 2.06 and ARTICLE III hereof, GMAC shall retain all right, title
and interest in, to and under the Receivables in the Accounts in the Pool of Accounts that GMAC has
not transferred to the Purchaser hereunder. Such Receivables, together with any Receivables
repurchased by GMAC or (so long as GMAC is the Servicer) the Servicer from the Purchaser or the
Trust pursuant to this Agreement or the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement, all monies due or to
become due on such Receivables, all amounts received with respect thereto and all proceeds thereof
(including “proceeds” as defined in the UCC and Recoveries) are collectively referred to herein as
the “Retained Property”.
Section 2.02 Purchase Price. On the Initial Closing Date, in consideration for the sale of the property described in
Section 2.01(a) to the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall pay to GMAC $1,559,430,777
(representing the aggregate principal balance of the Eligible Receivables as of the close of
business on the Initial Cut-Off Date so sold on the Initial Closing Date) in
-2-
immediately available funds, and GMAC shall deliver to the Purchaser an executed assignment substantially in the form of
Exhibit B hereto. The Purchaser shall pay, subject to Section 6.02, for property described
in Section 2.03 sold by GMAC to the Purchaser on each Addition Date and property described
in Section 2.01(b) sold by GMAC to the Purchaser on each Receivables Purchase Date, a price
equal to the principal balance of the Eligible Receivables to be purchased on each such date. Such
purchase price shall be payable by the Purchaser on each such date in immediately available funds.
Section 2.03 Addition of Accounts.
(a) Offers to Designate Additional Accounts. From time to time, GMAC may, at its
option, offer to designate and the Purchaser may, at its option, request the designation of, one or
more Accounts (each, an “Additional Account”) to be included as Accounts in the Pool of
Accounts, subject to the conditions specified in Section 2.03(b) below. If the Purchaser,
at its option, elects to accept any such offer by GMAC or if GMAC, at its option, agrees to any
such request of the Purchaser, GMAC shall sell and assign to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall
purchase from GMAC, all of GMAC’s right, title and interest in, to and under all of the Eligible
Receivables in each such Additional Account as of the related Additional Cut-Off Date and all
monies due or to become due thereon after such date, all Collateral Security with respect thereto,
all amounts received with respect thereto and all proceeds thereof (including “proceeds” as defined
in the UCC and Recoveries), effective as of the Addition Date specified in a written notice
provided by the Servicer, on behalf of GMAC, to the Purchaser (the “GMAC Addition Notice”).
Effective as of each such Addition Date, such Additional Account shall be included in the Pool of
Accounts and Eligible Receivables arising therein from and after the Additional Cut-Off Date shall
be subject to purchase under Section 2.01(b) above. Each GMAC Addition Notice shall
specify the related Additional Cut-Off Date and shall be given (with a copy to the Rating Agencies)
on or before the fifth Business Day but not more than 30 days prior to the related Addition Date.
(b)
Conditions. GMAC shall be permitted to designate, and the Purchaser shall be permitted to accept the
designation of, Additional Accounts, in accordance with Section 2.03(a) only upon
satisfaction of each of the following conditions on or prior to the related Addition Date:
(i) GMAC shall represent that as of the related Additional Cut-Off Date each such
Additional Account is an Eligible Account and that each Receivable arising thereunder
identified as an Eligible Receivable and conveyed to the Purchaser on such Addition Date is
an Eligible Receivable;
(ii) GMAC shall have delivered to the Purchaser a duly executed written assignment in
substantially the form of Exhibit C and the list required to be delivered pursuant
to Section 7.02(d);
(iii) GMAC shall have agreed to deliver to the Purchaser, for deposit in the Collection
Account, to the extent required by the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement, all Collections
with respect to the Eligible Receivables arising in such
-3-
Additional Accounts since the
Additional Cut-Off Date within two Business Days after such Addition Date;
(iv) as of the Addition Date, neither GMAC nor the Purchaser is insolvent nor shall any
of them have been made insolvent by such transfer nor is either of them aware of any pending
insolvency;
(v) the Schedule of Accounts shall have been amended to reflect such Additional
Accounts and the Schedule of Accounts as so amended shall be true and correct as of the
Addition Date;
(vi) GMAC shall have delivered to the Purchaser a certificate of an Authorized Officer
of GMAC confirming the items set forth in clauses (i) through (v) above;
(vii) the conditions set forth in Section 2.7(b) of the Trust Sale and
Servicing Agreement shall have been satisfied; and
(viii) GMAC shall have delivered to the Purchaser an Opinion of Counsel of GMAC
substantially in the form of Exhibit D.
Section 2.04 Optional Removal of Accounts. From time to time, GMAC may, at its option, request from the Purchaser, and the Purchaser
may, at its option, offer to GMAC, the right to designate an Account for removal from the Pool of
Accounts. Subject to the satisfaction by the Purchaser of the conditions set forth in Section
2.8 of the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement, GMAC, at its option, may accept offers to
designate an Account for removal or request from the Purchaser the right to designate an Account
for removal by furnishing a written notice (the “GMAC Removal Notice”) to the Purchaser not
less than five Business Days but not more than 30 days prior to the Removal Commencement Date. On
and after the Removal Commencement Date with respect to a Randomly Selected Account, GMAC shall not
transfer Receivables with respect to such Randomly Selected Account to the Purchaser. The Schedule
of Accounts shall be amended to reflect such designation as of the Removal Commencement Date and to
reflect such Account becoming a Removed Account as of the Removal Date. At any time after the
Removal Date, at the written request of GMAC, the Purchaser shall assign to GMAC, without recourse,
representation or warranty, effective as of the Removal Date, all of the Purchaser’s right, title
and interest in, to and under the Receivables arising in such Account and related Collateral
Security. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event the Purchaser
shall exercise its right to remove Receivables from the Trust pursuant to Section 2.8(c) of
the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Purchaser may, at its option, offer to GMAC the right to purchase such removed Receivables with regard to some or all of the Randomly Selected
Accounts without recourse, representation or warranty. In the event GMAC shall accept such offer,
GMAC shall pay for such Receivables by transferring to the Purchaser, in exchange for the
Receivables to be purchased, cash and/or Excess Available Receivables with an aggregate principal
amount equal to the Removal Balance related to such Randomly Selected Accounts as of the date of
removal. On the date of such transfer, all of the Purchaser’s right, title and interest in, to and
under the
-4-
Receivables to be removed and the related Collateral Security shall be deemed to be
transferred and released by the Purchaser to GMAC.
Section 2.05 Removal of Ineligible Accounts. If at any time an Account shall be deemed a Randomly Selected Account as described in
Section 2.9 of the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Purchaser shall give notice
thereof to GMAC at the time it gives notice to the parties identified in such Section 2.9.
From and after the Removal Commencement Date with respect to a Randomly Selected Account pursuant
to such Section 2.9, GMAC shall not transfer Receivables with respect to such Randomly
Selected Account to the Purchaser. The Schedule of Accounts shall be amended to reflect such
designation as of the Removal Commencement Date and to reflect such Account becoming a Removed
Account as of the Removal Date. At any time after such removal, at the written request of GMAC,
the Purchaser shall assign to GMAC, without recourse, representation or warranty, effective as of
the Removal Date, all of the Purchaser’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables
in such Account and related Collateral Security.
Section 2.06 Custody of Documentation. In connection with the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Receivables and
related Collateral Security in the Accounts in the Pool of Accounts to the Purchaser hereunder, the
Purchaser is executing simultaneously herewith the Custodian Agreement with the Custodian, pursuant
to which the Purchaser shall revocably appoint the Custodian to act as agent of the Purchaser to
maintain custody of the documents and instruments (as more fully described in the Custodian
Agreement) associated with such Receivables, which shall be constructively delivered to the
Purchaser. GMAC, as the holder of the Retained Property, hereby consents to the appointment of the
Custodian to act as agent of GMAC to maintain custody of the documents and contracts (as more fully
described in the Custodian Agreement) associated with the Receivables included therein and is
simultaneously herewith executing the Custodian Agreement. The Custodian has accepted such
appointment by the Purchaser and GMAC under the Custodian Agreement.
ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES SECTION
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES SECTION
Section 3.01 Appointment of Servicer and Acceptance of Appointment. The Purchaser and GMAC hereby appoint the Servicer to act as Servicer with respect to the
Eligible Receivables and the Receivables included in the Retained Property, existing in or arising
under the Accounts included in the Pool of Accounts from time to time and authorize the Servicer to
perform the duties of Servicer under this Agreement and under the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Servicer by execution of this Agreement and by
execution of the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement hereby accepts such appointment and the terms
hereof and thereof.
Section 3.02 Rights and Duties of the Servicer.
(a) The Servicer shall manage, service and administer the Receivables described in Section
3.01, including, without limitation, collecting payments due under the Receivables and
providing for charge-offs of uncollectible Receivables, with reasonable care and all in accordance
with the Servicer’s customary and usual servicing procedures for servicing wholesale receivables
comparable to the Receivables which the Servicer services for its own
-5-
account, including the Floor Plan Financing Guidelines, except insofar as any failure to do so would not have a material adverse
effect on the interests of Securityholders. The Servicer shall have full power and authority,
acting alone or through any party properly designated by it hereunder or under the Trust Sale and
Servicing Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration
which it may deem necessary or desirable, including monitoring the insurance maintained by Dealers.
The Servicer is hereby authorized to commence, in its own name or in the name of any Interested
Party, a Proceeding to enforce any Receivable subject hereto, to enforce all obligations of GMAC
and the Purchaser under this Agreement and under the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement or to
commence or participate in a Proceeding (including without limitation a bankruptcy proceeding)
relating to or involving any such Receivable. If in any Proceeding it is held that the Servicer
may not enforce a Receivable arising under an Account in the Pool of Accounts on the ground that it
is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce such Receivable, the Purchaser,
GMAC and each other Interested Party shall, at the Servicer’s expense, take such steps as the
Servicer reasonably deems necessary or appropriate to enforce the Receivable, including bringing
suit in the name of such Person. If the Servicer commences or participates in such a Proceeding in
its own name, each Interested Party shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned such
Receivable to the Servicer for purposes of commencing or participating in any such Proceeding as a
party or claimant, and the Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered 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. Each Interested Party shall
furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents and take any other steps which
the Servicer may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its
servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement and the Trust Sale and Servicing
Agreement. Except to the extent required by the preceding two sentences, the authority and rights
granted to the Servicer in this Section 3.02 shall be nonexclusive and shall not be
construed to be in derogation of the retention by any Interested Party (to the extent of its rights
in a Receivable) of equivalent authority and rights. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing and subject to any Servicing Default, the Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered,
unless such power and authority is revoked by any Interested Party on account of the occurrence of
such a Servicing Default, to:
(i) instruct the Issuing Entity to make allocations, withdrawals and payments to or
from the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts, the Reserve Fund, the Cash
Accumulation Reserve Funds and any other related bank accounts or funds as set forth in the
Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement;
(ii) instruct the Issuing Entity or any Interested Party to take any action required or
permitted under any Specified Support Arrangement;
(iii) execute and deliver, on behalf of the Issuing Entity for the benefit of any
related Securityholders, 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, after the delinquency of any Receivable and to the extent permitted
under and in compliance with applicable requirements of law, to commence enforcement
proceedings with respect to any such Receivable; and
-6-
(iv) make any filings, reports, notices, applications, registrations with, and seek any
consents or authorizations from, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and any State
securities authority on behalf of the Issuing Entity as may be necessary or advisable to
comply with any U.S. Federal or State securities law or reporting requirement.
(b) The Servicer shall not be obligated to use separate servicing procedures, offices,
employees or accounts for servicing the Receivables in the Accounts in the Pool of Accounts from
the procedures, offices, employees and accounts used by the Servicer in connection with servicing
other receivables. The Servicer shall, at its own expense, on or prior to the Initial Closing
Date, in the case of the Initial Accounts, and on or prior to the applicable Addition Date, in the
case of Additional Accounts, indicate in its computer files that the Eligible Receivables in the
Accounts in the Pool of Accounts have been sold and transferred by GMAC to the Purchaser hereunder
and by the Purchaser to the Trust under the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement.
(c) Except as otherwise required to comply with all Requirements of Law, the Servicer may
change the terms and provisions of the Floor Plan Financing Agreements or the Floor Plan Financing
Guidelines in any respect (including the calculation of the amount or the timing of charge-offs and
the rate of the finance charge assessed thereon), only if:
(i) in the reasonable belief of the Servicer, no Early Amortization Event shall occur
as a result of such change;
(ii) such change is made applicable to the comparable segment of any similar portfolio
of accounts serviced by the Servicer and not only to the Accounts in the Pool of Accounts;
and
(iii) in the case of a reduction in the rate of such finance charges, the Servicer
(and, if GMAC is not then the Servicer, GMAC) does not reasonably expect any such reduction,
after considering amounts due and amounts payable under any Specified Support Agreements and
Investment Proceeds for the related period, to result in the Net Receivables Rate for any
Collection Period being less than the sum of (A) the weighted average of the rates of
interest payable to all holders of Securities and (B) the Monthly Servicing Fee for the
related period;
provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent the Servicer from modifying the terms of the
Floor Plan Financing Agreement with any dealer on a case-by-case basis in a manner consistent with
the Floor Plan Financing Guidelines.
Section 3.03 Servicing Compensation; Payment of Certain Expenses by the Servicer. The Servicer is entitled to receive the Monthly Servicing Fee as described in the Trust
Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Monthly Servicing Fee shall be payable to the Servicer solely to
the extent amounts are available for payment in accordance with the terms of the Trust Sale and
Servicing Agreement. Subject to any limitations on the Servicer’s liability under the Trust Sale
and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in
connection with its activities under this Agreement and the Trust Sale and Servicing
-7-
Agreement (including disbursements of the Issuing Entity, fees and disbursements of any trustees, accountants
and outside auditors, taxes imposed on the Servicer, expenses incurred in connection with
distributions and reports to Securityholders and all other fees and expenses not expressly stated
under this Agreement or the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement to be for the account of the
Securityholders, but in no event including federal, state and local income and franchise taxes, if
any, of the Issuing Entity or any holder of the Securities).
Section 3.04 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Servicer.
(a) The Servicer hereby makes, and any successor Servicer by its appointment under this
Agreement and under the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement shall make, on each Closing Date (and on
the date of any such appointment) the following representations, warranties and covenants on which
the Purchaser relies in accepting and holding the Receivables and the related Collateral Security
hereunder and the Issuing Entity shall rely in acquiring and holding such Receivables and the
related Collateral Security under the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement and in issuing the
Securities:
(i) Organization and Good Standing. The Servicer has been duly organized and
is validly existing as a limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the
State of Delaware (or, in the case of a Servicer other than GMAC, other applicable law of
its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation, as applicable), with power and authority to
own its properties and to conduct its businesses as such properties are presently owned and
such businesses are presently conducted.
(ii) Due Qualification. The Servicer is duly qualified to do business and,
where necessary, is in good standing as a foreign limited liability company (or is exempt
from such requirement) and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in each
jurisdiction in which the conduct of its businesses requires such qualification, except
where the failure to so qualify or obtain licenses or approvals would not have material
adverse effect on its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
(iii) Power and Authority. The Servicer has the power and authority to execute
and deliver this Agreement and the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement, to carry out the
terms of each such agreement and to service the Accounts in the Pool of Accounts and the Receivables arising therein as provided herein and in the Trust Sale and
Servicing Agreement, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement have been duly authorized by the Servicer by all
necessary corporate action on the part of the Servicer.
(iv) Binding Obligation. This Agreement constitutes, and the Trust Sale and
Servicing Agreement, when duly executed and delivered by the Servicer, shall constitute, the
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Servicer enforceable in accordance with their
respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereinafter in effect, 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.
-8-
(v) No Violation. The execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement by
the Servicer and the fulfillment of the terms of this Agreement and the Trust Sale and
Servicing Agreement by the Servicer, 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 articles of incorporation, by-laws, certificate of formation, or limited
liability company agreement, as applicable, 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 pursuant to the Basic Documents), or violate any law or, to the best
of the Servicer’s knowledge, any order, rule or regulation applicable to the Servicer of any
Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Servicer or any of its properties,
except where any such conflict or violation would not have a material adverse effect on its
ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the Trust Sale and Servicing
Agreement.
(vi) No Proceedings. To the Servicer’s knowledge, there are no Proceedings or
investigations pending, or threatened, against the Servicer before any Governmental
Authority having jurisdiction over the Servicer or its properties (A) asserting the
invalidity of this Agreement or the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement or any Securities
issued thereunder, (B) seeking to prevent the issuance of the such Securities, the execution
of this Agreement or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement or (C) seeking any determination or
ruling that might materially and adversely affect the performance by the Servicer of its
obligations under, or the validity and enforceability of, this Agreement or the Trust Sale
and Servicing Agreement.
(vii) Compliance with Requirements of Law. The Servicer shall duly satisfy all
obligations on its part to be fulfilled under or in connection with the Receivables and the
Accounts to be serviced under this Agreement and the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement,
shall maintain in effect all qualifications required under Requirements of Law in order to
service properly such Receivables and such Accounts
and shall comply in all material respects with all Requirements of Law in connection
with servicing such Receivables and such Accounts, except, in each case, where a failure to
do so would not have a material adverse effect on the interests of the Securityholders.
(viii) No Rescission or Cancellation. The Servicer shall not permit any
rescission or cancellation of any Receivable sold and assigned to the Purchaser hereunder
that the Servicer services under this Agreement and the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement,
except as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority.
(ix) Protection of Interested Party Rights. The Servicer shall take no action,
nor omit to take any action, which would impair the rights or interests of Interested
Parties in the Receivables sold and assigned to the Purchaser hereunder that the Servicer
services under this Agreement and the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement or in
-9-
the related
Vehicle Collateral Security nor shall it reschedule, revise or defer payments due on any
such Receivable except, in each case, in a manner consistent with the Floor Plan Financing
Guidelines or as otherwise contemplated herein or in the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement.
The Servicer shall not permit any such Receivable to become subject to any right of set-off
or any offsetting balance.

deliver this Agreement, to carry out its terms, and to consummate the transactions
contemplated herein, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the

General Motors, GMAC nor any Person claiming through or under General Motors or GMAC has any
claim to or interest in the Trust Estate.
(b) Survival; Notice of Breach. The representations and warranties set forth in this

Additional Representations and Warranties
1. While it is the intention of GMAC LLC and Wholesale Auto Receivables LLC that the transfers
and assignments contemplated by this Agreement and the First Step Assignment shall constitute sales
of the Trust Assets (as defined herein) from GMAC LLC to Wholesale Auto Receivables LLC, this
Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in
the property described in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 2.01 of this Agreement (the
“Trust Assets”) in favor of Wholesale Auto Receivables LLC, which security interest is
prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such against creditors and purchasers from GMAC
LLC.
2. All steps necessary to perfect GMAC LLC’s security interest against each Obligor in the
property securing the Trust Assets have been taken.
3. The Trust Assets constitute “accounts,” “chattel paper” or “payment intangibles” within the
meaning of the applicable UCC.
4. GMAC LLC owns and has good and marketable title to the Trust Assets free and clear of any
Liens, claim or encumbrance of any Person. GMAC LLC has received all consents and approvals
required by the terms of the Trust Assets as to the sale of the Trust Assets hereunder to Wholesale
Auto Receivables LLC.
5. GMAC LLC has caused or will have caused, within ten 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 Trust Assets granted to Wholesale Auto
Receivables LLC hereunder.
6. GMAC LLC, as Custodian, has in its possession the Eligible Receivables Files and holds them
in accordance with its customary procedures and any and all other documents that the Servicer or
the Seller shall keep on file, in accordance with its customary procedures, relating to the
Eligible Receivables. All financing statements filed or to be filed against GMAC LLC in favor of
Wholesale Auto Receivables LLC in connection herewith describing the Trust Assets contain a
statement to the following effect: “A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described
in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Secured Party.”
7. Other than the security interest granted to Wholesale Auto Receivables LLC pursuant to the
Basic Documents, GMAC LLC has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or
otherwise conveyed any of the Trust Assets. GMAC LLC has not authorized the filing of and is not
aware of any financing statements that include a description of collateral covering the Trust
Assets other than any financing statement (i) relating to the security interest granted to
Wholesale Auto Receivables LLC, the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee under the Basic
Documents, (ii) that has been terminated, or (iii) that names the Trust as secured party. GMAC LLC
is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against GMAC LLC.
8. The representations, warranties and certifications contained in paragraphs 1-7 above shall
survive the sales, transfers and assignments to Wholesale Auto Receivables LLC.
No failure or delay on the part of Wholesale Auto Receivables LLC in exercising any right,
remedy, power or privilege with respect to this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to this
Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right,
remedy, power or privilege.
