(i)          the Receivables and all moneys received thereon on or after the Cutoff Date;

 

(ii)         the security interests in the Financed Vehicles and any accessions thereto granted by Obligors pursuant to the Receivables and any other interest of the Seller in such Financed Vehicles;

 

(iii)        any Liquidation Proceeds and any other proceeds from claims on any physical damage, credit life or disability insurance policies covering Financed Vehicles or Obligors, including any vendor’s single interest or other collateral protection insurance policy;

(b)          The Seller and the Depositor intend that the transfer of assets by the Seller to the Depositor pursuant to this Agreement be a sale of the ownership interest in such assets to the Depositor, rather than the mere granting of a security interest to secure a borrowing.

Pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement and Section 7.04 hereof, the Depositor may sell, transfer and assign to the Issuer (i) all or any portion of the assets assigned to the Depositor hereunder, (ii) all or any portion of the Depositor’s rights against the Seller under this Agreement and (iii) all proceeds thereof. Such assignment may be made by the Depositor with or without an assignment by the Depositor of its rights under this Agreement, and without further notice to or acknowledgement from the Seller. The Seller waives, to the extent permitted under applicable law, all claims, causes of action and remedies, whether legal or equitable (including any right of setoff), against the Depositor or any assignee of the Depositor relating to such action by the Depositor in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

(xvii)     All Filings Made. All filings (including UCC filings, except for UCC releases required to be filed in accordance with the Reconveyance Documents) required to be made in any jurisdiction to give the Issuer a first perfected ownership interest in the Receivables and the Indenture Trustee a first priority perfected security interest in the Receivables have been made.

 

(xviii)    No Defenses. No Receivable is subject to any right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim, dispute or defense, including the defense of usury, whether arising out of transactions concerning the Receivable or otherwise, and the operation of any terms of the Receivable or the exercise by the Seller or the Obligor of any right under the Receivable will not render the Receivable unenforceable in whole or in part, and no such right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim, dispute or defense, including the defense of usury, has been asserted with respect thereto.

The Seller shall deliver to the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document recorded, registered or filed as provided above, as soon as available following such recordation, registration or filing. The Depositor shall cooperate fully with the Seller in connection with the obligations set forth above and will execute any and all documents reasonably required to fulfill the intent of this paragraph.

 

 

(b)          Name Change. If the Seller makes any change in its name, identity or corporate structure that would make any financing statement or continuation statement filed in accordance with paragraph (a) above seriously misleading within the applicable provisions of the UCC or any title statute, the Seller shall give the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee prompt written notice thereof and shall promptly file such financing statements or amendments as may be necessary to continue the perfection of the Depositor’s and the Indenture Trustee’s interest in the property conveyed pursuant to Section 2.01.

 

Section 5.02         Other Liens or Interests. Except for the conveyances hereunder and pursuant to the Basic Documents, the Seller shall not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any Person, or grant, create, incur, assume, or suffer to exist any Lien on, or any interest in, to or under the Receivables, and the Seller shall defend the right, title and interest of the Depositor, the Trust and the Indenture Trustee in, to and under the Receivables against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Seller.

Section 6.01         Indemnification. Without limiting any other rights any such Person may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Seller hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the Depositor and its officers, directors, agents and employees (each an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) (all of the foregoing collectively, the “Indemnified Losses”) at any time imposed on or incurred by any Indemnified Party arising out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the acquisition of any of the Receivables, or any action taken or omitted by any of the Indemnified Parties, whether arising by reason of the acts to be performed by the Seller hereunder or otherwise, excluding only Indemnified Losses to the extent (a) such Indemnified Losses resulted from gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification, (b) due to the financial inability of the Obligor to pay a Receivable and for which reimbursement would constitute recourse to the Seller for uncollectible Receivables or (c) such Indemnified Losses include taxes on, or measured by, the overall net income of the Depositor or any other Indemnified Party.

 

  

ARTICLE VII.
Miscellaneous Provisions

 

Section 7.01         Obligations of Seller. The obligations of the Seller under this Agreement shall not be affected by reason of any invalidity, illegality or irregularity of any Receivable.

 

Section 7.02         Repurchase Events. The Seller hereby covenants and agrees that the occurrence of a breach of any of the Seller’s representations and warranties contained in Section 3.02(b), with respect to any Receivable shall constitute an event obligating the Seller to repurchase such Receivable if the interest of the Noteholders or the Issuer are materially and adversely affected by such breach (each, a “Repurchase Event”). If the Seller does not correct or cure such breach prior to the end of the Collection Period (or, if the Seller elects, an earlier date) after the date that the Seller became aware or was notified of such breach, then the Seller shall purchase any Receivable materially and adversely affected by such breach from the Issuer on the Payment Date following the end of such Collection Period. Any such purchase by the Seller shall be at a price equal to the Purchased Amount. In consideration for such repurchase, the Seller shall make (or shall cause to be made) a payment to the Issuer equal to the Purchased Amount by depositing such amount into the Collection Account on the applicable Payment Date. Upon payment of such Purchased Amount by the Seller, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall release and shall execute and deliver such instruments of release, transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse or representation, as shall be reasonably necessary to vest in the Seller or its designee any Receivable repurchased pursuant hereto. It is understood and agreed that the right to cause the Seller to purchase any Receivable as described above shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the Issuer, the Noteholders, the Owner Trustee, the Certificateholders and the Indenture Trustee. Neither the Owner Trustee nor the Indenture Trustee will have any duty to conduct an affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase of any Receivable pursuant to this Section 7.02.

 

Section 7.03         Depositor Assignment of Repurchased Receivables. With respect to all Receivables repurchased by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement, the Depositor shall assign, without recourse, representation or warranty, to the Seller all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to such Receivables and all security and documents relating thereto.

 

Section 7.04         Transfer to the Issuer. The Seller acknowledges and agrees that (1) the Depositor will, pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, transfer and assign the Receivables and assign its rights under this Agreement with respect thereto to the Issuer and, pursuant to the Indenture, the Issuer will pledge the Receivables to the Indenture Trustee, and (2) the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the rights of the Depositor under this Agreement, including under Section 7.02, are intended to benefit the Issuer, the Noteholders and the Certificateholder. The Seller hereby consents to such transfers and assignments and agrees that enforcement of a right or remedy hereunder by the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or the Issuer shall have the same force and effect as if the right or remedy had been enforced or executed by the Depositor.
