Immediately prior to the transfer of the Receivables by the Seller to the Depositor, each Receivable was secured by a valid, binding and enforceable first priority perfected security interest in favor of the Seller in the related Financed Vehicle, which security interest has been validly assigned by the Seller to the Depositor. The Servicer has received, or will receive within 180 days after the Closing Date, the original certificate of title for each Financed Vehicle (other than any Financed Vehicle that is subject to a certificate of title statute or motor vehicle registration law that does not require that the original certificate of title for such Financed Vehicle be delivered to the Seller).

 

(g)          Receivables in Force. No Receivable has been satisfied, subordinated or rescinded, nor has any Financed Vehicle been released in whole or in part from the Lien granted by the related Receivable.

 

(h)          No Waiver. No provision of any Receivable has been waived in such a manner that such Receivable fails to meet all of the representations and warranties made by the Depositor in this Section 2.3 with respect thereto.

 

(i)          No Defenses. No Receivable is subject to any right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and the operation of any of the terms of any Receivable, or the exercise of any right thereunder, will not render such Receivable unenforceable in whole or in part or subject to any right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and the Depositor has no knowledge of any such right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense being asserted or threatened with respect to any Receivable.

 

(j)          No Liens. The Depositor has no knowledge of any liens or claims that have been filed, including liens for work, labor or materials or for unpaid State or federal taxes, relating to any Financed Vehicle that are prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the security interest in such Financed Vehicle created by the related Receivable.

 

(k)          No Default. Except for payment defaults continuing for a period of not more than 30 days as of the Cutoff Date, the Depositor has no knowledge that any default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Receivable has occurred or that any continuing condition that with notice or the lapse of time or both would constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Receivable has arisen, and the Depositor has not waived any such event or condition.

 

(l)          Title. The Depositor has purchased the Receivables from the Seller. The Depositor intends that the transfer of the Receivables contemplated by Section 2.1 constitute a sale of the Receivables from the Depositor to the Trust and that the beneficial interest in, and title to, the Receivables 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. The Depositor has not sold, transferred, assigned or pledged any Receivable to any Person other than the Trust. The Depositor has not created, incurred or suffered to exist any Lien, encumbrance or security interest on any Receivable except for the Lien of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, this Agreement and the Indenture.

 

  

(m)          Security Interest Matters. This Agreement creates a valid and continuing “security interest” (as defined in the Relevant UCC) in the Receivables in favor of the Trust, which security interest is prior to all other Liens and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Depositor. With respect to each Receivable, the Seller has taken all steps necessary to perfect its security interest against the related Obligor in the related Financed Vehicle. The Receivables constitute “tangible chattel paper” (as defined in the Relevant UCC). The Depositor owns and has good and marketable title to the Receivables free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person. The Depositor has caused or will cause prior to the Closing Date the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing offices in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law necessary to perfect the security interest in the Receivables granted to the Trust under this Agreement. Other than the security interest granted to the Trust under this Agreement, the Depositor has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in or otherwise conveyed any of the Receivables. The Depositor has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Depositor that include a description of collateral covering the Receivables other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Trust under this Agreement or that has been terminated. The Depositor is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Depositor. The security interest of the Seller in each Financed Vehicle has been validly assigned by the Depositor to the Trust.

 

(n)          Financing Statements. All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Depositor in favor of the Indenture Trustee (as assignee of the Trust) contain a statement substantially to the following effect: “A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Indenture Trustee.”

 

(o)          Valid Assignment. No Receivable has been originated in, or is subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction under which the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of such Receivable under the Receivables Purchase Agreement or this Agreement or the pledge of such Receivable under the Indenture is unlawful, void or voidable or under which such Receivable would be rendered void or voidable as a result of any such sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance or pledge. The Depositor has not entered into any agreement with any account debtor that prohibits, restricts or conditions the assignment of the Receivables.

 

(p)          One Original. There is only one original executed copy of each Receivable.

 

(q)          Principal Balance. Each Receivable had a remaining Principal Balance as of the Cutoff Date of not less than $500.

 

(r)          No Bankrupt Obligors. As of the Cutoff Date, no Receivable was due from an Obligor that was the subject of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or was bankrupt.

 

  

(s)          New and Used Vehicles. As of the Cutoff Date, approximately 0.78% of the Pool Balance related to Receivables secured by new Financed Vehicles and approximately 99.22% of the Pool Balance related to Receivables secured by used Financed Vehicles.

 

(t)          Origination. Each Receivable was originated after January 10, 2009.

 

(u)          Term to Maturity. Each Receivable had an original term to maturity of not more than 72 months and not less than 12 months and a remaining term to maturity as of the Cutoff Date of not more than 71 months and not less than 3 months.

 

(v)         Weighted Average Remaining Term to Maturity. As of the Cutoff Date, the weighted average remaining term to maturity of the Receivables was approximately 61.55 months.

 

(w)          Annual Percentage Rate. Each Receivable has an APR of not more than 25.00%.

 

(x)          Location of Receivable Files. The Receivable Files are maintained at the location listed in Schedule 2 to this Agreement.

 

(y)          Simple Interest Method. All payments with respect to the Receivables have been allocated consistently in accordance with the Simple Interest Method.

 

(z)          No Delinquent Receivables. As of the Cutoff Date, no payment due under any Receivable was more than 30 days past due.

 

(aa)         Insurance. Each Obligor has obtained or agreed to obtain physical damage insurance (which insurance shall not be force placed insurance) covering the related Financed Vehicle in accordance with the Seller’s normal requirements.

 

(bb)         Fair Market Value. The Receivables Purchase Price represents the fair market value of the Receivables.

 

(cc)         Custodial Agreements. Immediately prior to the transfer of the Receivables by the Seller to the Depositor, the Seller or an Affiliate of the Seller had possession of the Receivable Files and there were no, and there will not be any, custodial agreements in effect materially adversely affecting the right or ability of the Seller to make, or cause to be made, any delivery required under this Agreement.

 

(dd)         Bulk Transfer Laws. The transfer of the Receivables and the Receivable Files by the Depositor to the Trust pursuant to this Agreement is not subject to the bulk transfer laws or any similar statutory provisions in effect in any applicable jurisdiction.

 

(ee)         No Transfer Restrictions. The Depositor has not created, incurred or suffered to exist any restriction on transferability of the Receivables except for the restrictions on transferability imposed by this Agreement.

 

  

2.4          Repurchase by Depositor upon Breach. The Depositor, the Servicer or the Administrator (on behalf of the Trust), as the case may be, shall inform the other parties to this Agreement, the Seller and the Indenture Trustee promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of any breach or failure to be true of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.3. If such breach or failure shall not have been cured by the close of business on the last day of the Collection Period which includes the 30th day after the date on which the Depositor becomes aware of, or receives written notice from the Servicer or the Administrator (on behalf of the Trust) of, such breach or failure, and such breach or failure materially and adversely affects the interest of the Trust in a Receivable, the Depositor shall repurchase such Receivable from the Trust on the Distribution Date immediately following such Collection Period. In consideration of the repurchase of a Receivable hereunder, the Depositor shall remit the Purchase Amount of such Receivable in the manner specified in Section 4.5. The sole remedy of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the Certificateholders with respect to a breach or failure to be true of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.3 shall be to require the Depositor to repurchase Receivables pursuant to this Section 2.4. None of the Administrator, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee shall 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 2.4 or the eligibility of any Receivable for purposes of this Agreement.

 

2.5          Custody of Receivable Files. To assure uniform quality in servicing the Receivables and to reduce administrative costs, the Trust, upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, hereby revocably appoints the Servicer as its agent, and the Servicer hereby accepts such appointment, to act as custodian on behalf of the Trust and the Indenture Trustee of the following documents or instruments, which are hereby constructively delivered to the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Trust pursuant to the Indenture with respect to each Receivable (collectively, a “Receivable File”):

 

(i)          the original, executed copy of such Receivable;

 

(ii)         the original credit application with respect to such Receivable fully executed by the related Obligor or a photocopy thereof or a record thereof on a computer file or disc or on microfiche;

 

(iii)        the original certificate of title for the related Financed Vehicle or such other documents that the Seller or the Servicer shall keep on file, in accordance with its customary practices and procedures, evidencing the security interest of the Seller in such Financed Vehicle;

 

(iv)        documents evidencing the commitment of the related Obligor to maintain physical damage insurance covering the related Financed Vehicle; and

 

(v)         any and all other documents (including any computer file or disc or microfiche) that the Seller or the Servicer shall keep on file, in accordance with its customary practices and procedures, relating to such Receivable, the related Obligor or the related Financed Vehicle.

 

  

On the Closing Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trust and the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate confirming that the Servicer has received, on behalf of the Trust and the Indenture Trustee, all the documents and instruments necessary for the Servicer to act as the agent of the Trust and the Indenture Trustee for the purposes set forth in this Section 2.5, including the documents referred to herein, and the Trust and the Indenture Trustee are hereby authorized to rely on such Officer’s Certificate. In addition, within 180 days after the Closing Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trust and the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the Servicer has received the original certificate of title for each Financed Vehicle except each Financed Vehicle securing an outstanding Receivable for which the Servicer has not received the original certificate of title as shall be identified in such Officer’s Certificate (and indicating whether such Financed Vehicle is subject to a certificate of title statute or motor vehicle registration law that requires that the original certificate of title for such Financed Vehicle be delivered to the Seller).

 

2.6          Duties of Servicer as Custodian.

 

(a)          Safekeeping. The Servicer, in its capacity as custodian, shall hold the Receivable Files for the benefit of the Trust and the Indenture Trustee and maintain such accurate and complete accounts, records and computer systems pertaining to each Receivable File as shall enable the Servicer and the Trust to comply with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Indenture Trustee to comply with the terms and conditions of the Indenture. In performing its duties as custodian, the Servicer shall act with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to the files relating to comparable motor vehicle retail installment sale contracts that the Servicer services for itself or others. The Servicer shall conduct, or cause to be conducted, in accordance with its customary practices and procedures, periodic audits of the Receivable Files held by it under this Agreement, and of the related accounts, records and computer systems, in such a manner as shall enable the Trust or the Indenture Trustee to verify the accuracy of the Servicer’s record keeping. The Servicer shall promptly report to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee any failure on its part to hold the Receivable Files and maintain its accounts, records and computer systems as herein provided and promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require an initial review or any periodic review by the Trust, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee of the Receivable Files, and none of the Trust, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee shall be liable or responsible for any action or failure to act by the Servicer in its capacity as custodian hereunder.

 

(b)          Maintenance of and Access to Records. The Servicer shall maintain each Receivable File at the location listed in Schedule 2 or at such other location as shall be specified to the Trust, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee by written notice not later than ninety (90) days after any change in location. The Servicer shall make available to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee or its duly authorized representatives, attorneys or auditors, a list of locations of the Receivable Files, the Receivable Files, and the related accounts, records, and computer systems maintained by the Servicer, at such times as the Trust or the Indenture Trustee shall instruct.

 

  

(c)          Release of Documents. As soon as practicable after receiving written instructions from the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall release any document in the Receivable Files to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee’s agent or the Indenture Trustee’s designee, as the case may be, at such place as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably designate.

 

(d)          Title to Receivables. The Servicer shall not at any time have or in any way attempt to assert any interest in any Receivable held by it as custodian hereunder or in the related Receivable File other than for collecting or enforcing such Receivable for the benefit of the Trust. The entire equitable interest in such Receivable and the related Receivable File shall at all times be vested in the Trust.

 

2.7          Instructions; Authority to Act. The Servicer shall be deemed to have received proper instructions with respect to the Receivable Files upon its receipt of written instructions signed by an Authorized Officer. A certified copy of excerpts of authorizing resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Indenture Trustee shall constitute conclusive evidence of the authority of any such Authorized Officer to act and shall be considered in full force and effect until receipt by the Servicer of written notice to the contrary given by the Indenture Trustee.

 

2.8          Indemnification by the Custodian. The Servicer, in its capacity as custodian, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, compensatory damages, payments, costs or expenses (including legal fees if any) of any kind whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred or asserted against the Trust, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents as the result of any act or omission by the Servicer relating to the maintenance and custody of the Receivable Files; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be liable hereunder to the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, compensatory damages, payments, costs or expenses result from the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable.

 

2.9          Effective Period and Termination. The Servicer’s appointment as custodian shall become effective as of the Cutoff Date and shall continue in full force and effect until terminated pursuant to this Section 2.9. If the Servicer shall resign as Servicer under Section 7.6, or if all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer shall have been terminated under Section 8.1, the appointment of the Servicer as custodian hereunder may be terminated (i) by the Trust, with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, (ii) by the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class or, if the Notes have been paid in full, by the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the aggregate Certificate Percentage Interest or (iii) by the Owner Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, in each case by notice then given in writing to the Depositor and the Servicer (with a copy to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee if given by the Noteholders or the Certificateholders). As soon as practicable after any termination of such appointment, the Servicer shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, the Receivable Files and the related accounts and records maintained by the Servicer to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee’s agent or the Indenture Trustee’s designee, as the case may be, at such place as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably designate or, if the Notes have been paid in full, at such place as the Owner Trustee may reasonably designate.

 

  

Article III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES AND
OTHER TRUST PROPERTY

 

3.1          Duties of Servicer. The Servicer shall administer the Receivables with reasonable care. The Servicer’s duties shall include, but not be limited to, the collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries by Obligors on the Receivables, or by federal, State or local governmental authorities, investigating delinquencies, reporting tax information to Obligors, furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee with respect to distributions and providing collection and repossession services in the event of Obligor default. In performing its duties as Servicer hereunder, the Servicer shall use reasonable care and exercise that degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to all comparable motor vehicle retail installment sale contracts that it services for itself or others. Subject to the foregoing and to Section 3.2, the Servicer shall follow its customary standards, policies, practices and procedures in performing its duties hereunder as Servicer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Depositor, the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholders, the Noteholders or any one or more 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 or the Financed Vehicles, all in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not, except pursuant to an order from a court of competent jurisdiction, release an Obligor from payment of any unpaid amount under any Receivable or waive the right to collect the unpaid balance (including accrued interest) of any Receivable from the related Obligor, except in connection with a de minimis deficiency which the Servicer would not attempt to collect in accordance with its customary procedures, in which event the Servicer shall indemnify the Trust for such deficiency. If the Servicer shall commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Receivable, the Trust shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned such Receivable to the Servicer, which assignment shall be solely for purposes of collection. If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it shall be held that the Servicer may not enforce a Receivable on the ground that it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce such Receivable, the Trust shall (or the Administrator on behalf of the Trust shall), at the Servicer’s expense and written direction, take steps to enforce such Receivable, including bringing suit in its name or the names of the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholders, the Noteholders or any of them. The Trust shall execute and deliver to the Servicer any powers of attorney and other documents as shall be prepared by the Servicer and reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder. The Servicer, at its expense, shall obtain on behalf of the Trust all licenses, if any, required by the laws of any jurisdiction to be held by the Trust in connection with ownership of the Receivables and shall make all filings and pay all fees as may be required in connection therewith during the term hereof. If the Servicer fails to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Indenture Trustee or any other successor Servicer is appointed as Servicer in accordance with Section 8.2, such successor Servicer shall be responsible for the Servicer’s duties under this Agreement except as specified in Section 8.2; provided, however, that such successor Servicer shall not be liable for the terminated Servicer’s failure to perform such obligations.

 

  

3.2          Collection and Allocation 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 otherwise act with respect to the Receivables and the other Trust Property in such manner as will, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, maximize the amount to be received by the Trust with respect thereto and in accordance with the standard of care required by Section 3.1. The Servicer shall allocate collections on or in respect of the Receivables between principal and interest in accordance with the customary servicing practices and procedures it follows with respect to all comparable motor vehicle retail installment sale contracts that it services for itself or others. The Servicer shall not increase or decrease the number or amount of any Scheduled Payment, the Amount Financed under any Receivable or the APR of any Receivable, or extend, rewrite or otherwise modify the payment terms of any Receivable; provided, however, that the Servicer may, in its sole discretion, extend the due date for one or more payments due on any Receivable for credit-related reasons that would be acceptable to the Servicer with respect to comparable motor vehicle retail installment sale contracts that it services for itself or others and in accordance with its customary standards, policies, practices and procedures if the cumulative extensions with respect to any Receivable shall not cause the term of such Receivable to extend beyond the Final Scheduled Maturity Date. If the Servicer fails to comply with the provisions of the preceding sentence, the Servicer shall be required to purchase each Receivable affected thereby for the related Purchase Amount, in the manner specified in Section 3.7, as of the close of the Collection Period during which such failure occurs. The Servicer may, in its discretion (but only in accordance with its customary standards, policies, practices and procedures), waive any late payment charge or any other fee that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing a Receivable.

 

3.3          Realization upon Receivables. The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts on behalf of the Trust, in accordance with the standard of care required under Section 3.1, to repossess or otherwise convert the ownership of each Financed Vehicle securing a Defaulted Receivable. In taking such action, the Servicer shall follow such customary practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable in its servicing of comparable motor vehicle retail installment sale contracts and as are otherwise consistent with the standard of care required under Section 3.1. The Servicer shall be entitled to recover all reasonable expenses incurred by it in the course of repossessing and liquidating a Financed Vehicle into cash proceeds, but only out of the cash proceeds of such Financed Vehicle and any deficiency obtained from the related Obligor. If a Financed Vehicle shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not expend funds in connection with the repair or the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless it shall determine in its discretion that such repair and/or repossession will increase the Liquidation Proceeds received with respect to the related Receivable.

 

3.4          Physical Damage Insurance. The Servicer shall follow its customary practices and procedures to determine whether or not each Obligor shall have maintained physical damage insurance covering the related Financed Vehicle.

 

  

3.5          Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Vehicles. The Servicer shall take such steps, in accordance with the standard of care required under Section 3.1, as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest created by each Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle at all times. The Trust hereby authorizes the Servicer, and the Servicer hereby agrees, to take such steps as are necessary to re-perfect such security interest on behalf of the Trust and the Indenture Trustee in the event the Servicer receives notice of, or otherwise has actual knowledge of, the fact that such security interest is not perfected as a result of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle or for any other reason. The Servicer shall not release, in whole or in part, any security interest in a Financed Vehicle created by the related Receivable except as permitted herein or in accordance with its customary standards, policies, practices and procedures.

 

3.6          Amendment of Receivable Terms. The Servicer shall not impair in any material respect the rights of the Depositor, the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders in the Receivables or, except as permitted under Section 3.2, otherwise amend or alter the terms of the Receivables if, as a result of such amendment or alteration, the interests of the Depositor, the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders hereunder would be materially adversely affected.

 

3.7          Purchase by Servicer upon Breach. The Depositor, the Servicer or the Administrator (on behalf of the Trust), as the case may be, shall inform the other parties to this Agreement, the Seller and the Indenture Trustee promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of any breach of Section 3.2, 3.5 or 3.6. If such breach shall not have been cured by the close of business on the last day of the Collection Period which includes the 30th day after the date on which the Servicer becomes aware of, or receives written notice from the Depositor or the Administrator (on behalf of the Trust) of, such breach, and such breach materially and adversely affects the interest of the Trust in a Receivable, the Servicer shall purchase such Receivable from the Trust on the Distribution Date following such Collection Period; provided, however, that, with respect to a breach of Section 3.2, the Servicer shall purchase the affected Receivable from the Trust at the end of the Collection Period in which such breach occurs. In consideration of the purchase of a Receivable hereunder, the Servicer shall remit the Purchase Amount of such Receivable in the manner specified in Section 4.5. The sole remedy of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the Certificateholders with respect to a breach of Section 3.2, 3.5 or 3.6 shall be to require the Servicer to purchase Receivables pursuant to this Section 3.7. None of the Administrator, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee shall have any duty to conduct an affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the purchase of any Receivable pursuant to this Section 3.7.

 

3.8          Servicing Compensation. The Servicer shall receive the Monthly Servicing Fee for servicing the Receivables. The Monthly Servicing Fee for any Collection Period shall equal the product of one-twelfth (1/12) of the Servicing Rate and the Pool Balance as of the first day of such Collection Period (or, in the case of the initial Collection Period, as of the Cutoff Date); provided, however, that the Monthly Servicing Fee payable to a successor Servicer other than the Indenture Trustee may equal such other amount as may be determined in accordance with Section 8.2(c). The Servicer shall pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder (including the fees and expenses of the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, including the reasonable fees and expenses of their attorneys, and any custodian appointed by the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, the fees and expenses of independent accountants, taxes imposed on the Servicer and expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports to the Certificateholders and the Noteholders), except expenses incurred in connection with realizing upon Receivables under Section 3.3.

 

  

3.9         Monthly Servicer’s Certificate. On or before the Determination Date immediately preceding each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor, the Seller, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and each Paying Agent, with a copy to the Rating Agencies, a certificate of a Servicing Officer substantially in the form of Exhibit A (a “Servicer’s Certificate”) and attached to a Servicer’s report containing all information necessary to make the transfers and distributions pursuant to Sections 4.5, 4.6 and 4.7, together with the written statements to be furnished by the Owner Trustee to the Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.9 and by the Indenture Trustee to the Noteholders pursuant to Section 4.9 and pursuant to Section 6.6 of the Indenture. The Servicer shall separately identify (by account number) in a written notice to the Depositor, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee the Receivables to be repurchased by the Depositor or to be purchased by the Servicer, as the case may be, on the Business Day preceding such Distribution Date, and, upon request of one of the foregoing parties, each Receivable which became a Defaulted Receivable during the related Collection Period. The Servicer shall deliver to the Rating Agencies any information, to the extent it is available to the Servicer, that the Rating Agencies reasonably request (and the initial Servicer shall specify in writing to the successor Servicer any such requests that remain unsatisfied during the servicing transition to the successor Servicer) in order to monitor the Trust.

 

3.10        Annual Servicing Report; Annual Compliance Statement; Notice of Event of Servicing Termination.

 

(a)          On or before May 31 of each year (commencing with the year 2016), the Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee a report regarding its assessment of compliance with the servicing criteria specified in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB as of the end of and for the preceding Trust Fiscal Year (or, in the case of the report to be delivered in the year 2016, as of the end of and for the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on February 28, 2016) that satisfies the requirements of Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB.

(ii)         to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement in all material respects throughout such Trust Fiscal Year (or, in the case of the Officer’s Certificate to be delivered in the year 2016, such period) or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such failure known to such officer and the nature and status thereof.

On or before May 31 of each year (commencing with the year 2016), the Servicer shall cause a registered public accounting firm to deliver to the Depositor, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee a report addressed to the Board of Directors of the Servicer that attests to, and reports on, the Servicer’s assessment of compliance with the servicing criteria specified in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB with respect to the preceding Trust Fiscal Year (or, in the case of the report to be delivered in the year 2016, with respect to the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on February 28, 2016) and that otherwise satisfies the requirements of Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB.

Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer. Nothing in this Section 3.12 shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors, and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.12. Each Certificateholder or Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Certificate or a Note, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have agreed to keep any information obtained by it pursuant to this Section 3.12 confidential, except as may be required by applicable law.

(a)          The Servicer shall establish, on or before the Closing Date, and maintain in the name of the Indenture Trustee at an Eligible Institution (which shall initially be the Indenture Trustee) a segregated trust account designated as the Collection Account (the “Collection Account”). The Collection Account shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders. The Collection Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that the Servicer may make deposits to and direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to make withdrawals from the Collection Account in accordance with this Agreement, the Indenture and the Trust Agreement.

All deposits to and withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made only upon the terms and conditions of the Transaction Documents.

 

If the Servicer is required to remit collections on a daily basis pursuant to the first sentence of Section 4.2, all amounts held in the Collection Account shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, rules and regulations, be invested, as directed in writing by the Servicer, by the bank or trust company then maintaining the Collection Account in Permitted Investments that mature not later than the Business Day preceding the Distribution Date following the Collection Period during which such investment is made. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity. If the Collection Account is no longer to be maintained at the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall, with the Indenture Trustee’s assistance as necessary, promptly (and in any case within ten (10) calendar days or such longer period not to exceed thirty (30) calendar days as to which each Rating Agency shall consent) cause the Collection Account to be moved to an Eligible Institution. The Servicer shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee of any change in the account number or location of the Collection Account.

 

  

(b)          The Servicer shall establish, on or before the Closing Date, and maintain in the name of the Indenture Trustee at an Eligible Institution (which shall initially be the Indenture Trustee) a segregated trust account designated as the Note Payment Account (the “Note Payment Account”).

The Note Payment Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that the Servicer may make deposits to and direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to make withdrawals from the Note Payment Account in accordance with this Agreement and the Indenture. All monies deposited from time to time in the Note Payment Account pursuant to this Agreement and the Indenture shall be held by the Indenture Trustee as part of the Trust Property and shall be applied as provided in this Agreement and the Indenture. The amounts on deposit in the Note Payment Account shall not be invested. If the Note Payment Account is no longer to be maintained at the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall, with the Indenture Trustee’s assistance as necessary, promptly (and in any case within ten (10) calendar days or such longer period not to exceed thirty (30) calendar days as to which each Rating Agency may consent) cause the Note Payment Account to be moved to an Eligible Institution. The Servicer shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee of any change in the account number or location of the Note Payment Account.

 

(c)          The Servicer shall establish, on or before the Closing Date, and maintain in the name of the Owner Trustee at an Eligible Institution (which shall initially be the Owner Trustee) a segregated trust account designated as the “CarMax Auto Owner Trust 2015-2 Trust Account” (the “Certificate Payment Account”). The Certificate Payment Account shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Certificate Payment Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Owner Trustee; provided, however, that the Servicer may direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to make deposits to the Certificate Payment Account in accordance with this Agreement and the Indenture and may direct the Owner Trustee to make withdrawals from the Certificate Payment Account in accordance with this Agreement and the Trust Agreement. All monies deposited from time to time in the Certificate Payment Account pursuant to this Agreement and the Indenture shall be held by the Owner Trustee as part of the Trust Property and shall be applied as provided in this Agreement and the Trust Agreement. The amounts on deposit in the Certificate Payment Account shall not be invested.

The Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any event or circumstance under clause (ii) or (iii) of the definition of Monthly Remittance Condition that would require daily remittance by the Servicer to the Collection Account unless the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, has received notice of such event or circumstance at its Corporate Trust Office from the Depositor or the Servicer in an Officer’s Certificate or written notice of such event or circumstance from the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class or unless a Responsible Officer of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, has actual knowledge of such event or circumstance. The Servicer shall remit to the Collection Account on the Closing Date all amounts received by the Servicer on or in respect of the Receivables (including Liquidation Proceeds and all amounts received by the Servicer in connection with the repossession and sale of a Financed Vehicle (whether or not the related Receivable has been classified as a Defaulted Receivable)) during the period from but excluding the Cutoff Date to and including the second Business Day preceding the Closing Date.

4.4          Simple Interest Advances and Unreimbursed Servicer Advances.

 

(a)          If, as of the end of any Collection Period, one or more payments of Monthly P&I due under any Receivable (other than a Defaulted Receivable) outstanding at the end of such Collection Period shall not have been received by the Servicer and remitted to the Collection Account pursuant to Section 4.2, the Servicer may, at its option, make, on the Business Day preceding the Distribution Date immediately following such Collection Period, a Simple Interest Advance with respect to such Receivable by depositing in or crediting to the Collection Account the amount of Monthly P&I allocable to interest scheduled to have been paid during such Collection Period, assuming that such Receivable was paid on its due date, minus the amount of Monthly P&I actually received and allocated to interest, if any, with respect to such Receivable during such Collection Period.

 

(b)          If the Servicer determines that it has made an Unreimbursed Servicer Advance, the Servicer shall reimburse itself for such Unreimbursed Servicer Advance from unrelated amounts received by the Servicer on or in respect of the Receivables (including Liquidation Proceeds and all amounts received by the Servicer in connection with the repossession and sale of a Financed Vehicle (whether or not the related Receivable has been classified as a Defaulted Receivable)); provided, however, that the Servicer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, on or before the Distribution Date following the Collection Period during which such reimbursement is taken, a certificate of a Servicing Officer setting forth the basis for such determination, the amount of such Unreimbursed Servicer Advance, the Receivable with respect to which such Unreimbursed Servicer Advance was made and the installments or other proceeds with respect to which such reimbursement was taken.

The Reserve Account shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders. The Reserve Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that the Servicer may make deposits to and direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to make withdrawals from the Reserve Account in accordance with this Agreement and the Indenture. On the Closing Date, the Depositor shall deposit the Initial Reserve Account Deposit into the Reserve Account from the net proceeds of the sale of the Notes. The Reserve Account and all amounts, securities, investments, financial assets and other property deposited in or credited to the Reserve Account (the “Reserve Account Property”) has been conveyed by the Depositor to the Trust pursuant to Section 2.1. Pursuant to the Indenture, the Trust will pledge all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Reserve Account and the Reserve Account Property to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders to secure its obligations under the Notes and the Indenture.

 

(b)          The Reserve Account Property shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, rules and regulations, be invested, as directed in writing by the Servicer, by the bank or trust company then maintaining the Reserve Account in Permitted Investments that mature not later than the Business Day preceding the next Distribution Date. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity. On any Distribution Date, all interest and other income (net of losses and investment expenses) on funds on deposit in the Reserve Account, to the extent that funds on deposit therein, as certified by the Servicer, exceed the Required Reserve Account Amount, shall, at the written direction of the Servicer, (i) first, be deposited into the Note Payment Account, for payment of principal of the Notes in the priority set forth in Section 2.8(d) of the Indenture, to the extent of any unfunded Regular Principal Distributable Amount, if any, on such Distribution Date (after giving effect to the application of Available Funds on such Distribution Date), (ii) second, be paid to the Indenture Trustee or any other successor Servicer, as applicable, to the extent of any unfunded amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.8(a)(xiii) or (xiv) of the Indenture, if any, on such Distribution Date (after giving effect to the application of Available Funds on such Distribution Date), (iii) third, be deposited into the Certificate Payment Account for payment to the Certificateholders. If the Reserve Account is no longer to be maintained at the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall, with the Indenture Trustee’s assistance as necessary, promptly (and in any case within ten (10) calendar days or such longer period not to exceed thirty (30) calendar days as to which each Rating Agency may consent) cause the Reserve Account to be moved to an Eligible Institution. The Servicer shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee in writing of any change in the account number or location of the Reserve Account.

 

  

(c)          With respect to any Reserve Account Property:

 

(i)          any Reserve Account Property that is a “financial asset” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(9) of the Relevant UCC) shall be physically delivered to, or credited to an account in the name of, the Eligible Institution maintaining the Reserve Account, in accordance with such institution’s customary procedures such that such institution establishes a “securities entitlement” in favor of the Indenture Trustee with respect thereto;

 

(ii)         any Reserve Account Property that is held in deposit accounts shall be held solely in the name of the Indenture Trustee at one or more depository institutions having the Required Rating and each such deposit account shall be subject to the exclusive custody and control of the Indenture Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall have sole signature authority with respect thereto; and

 

(iii)        except for any deposit accounts specified in clause (ii) above, the Reserve Account shall only be invested in securities or in other assets which the Eligible Institution maintaining the Reserve Account agrees to treat as “financial assets” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(9) of the Relevant UCC).

 

(d)          If the Reserve Account Amount for any Distribution Date (after giving effect to the withdrawal of the Reserve Account Draw Amount for such Distribution Date) exceeds the Required Reserve Account Amount for such Distribution Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Indenture Trustee in writing to distribute the amount of such excess (i) first, to the Note Payment Account, for payment of principal of the Notes in the priority set forth in Section 2.8(d) of the Indenture, to the extent of any unfunded Regular Principal Distributable Amount, if any, on such Distribution Date (after giving effect to the application of Available Funds on such Distribution Date), (ii) second, be paid to the Indenture Trustee or any other successor Servicer, as applicable, to the extent of any unfunded amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.8(a)(xiii) or (xiv) of the Indenture, if any, on such Distribution Date (after giving effect to the application of Available Funds on such Distribution Date) and (iii) third, to the Certificate Payment Account for payment to the Certificateholders. The Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee hereby release, on each Distribution Date, their security interest in, to and under Reserve Account Property distributed to the Certificateholders.

 

(e)          If the Note Balance, and all other amounts owing or to be distributed hereunder or under the Indenture or the Trust Agreement to the Noteholders or the Certificateholders, have been paid in full and the Trust has been terminated, any remaining Reserve Account Property shall be distributed to the Certificateholders.

If an Event of Servicing Termination shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, in each case by notice then given in writing to the Depositor, the Administrator and the Servicer (with a copy to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee if given by the Noteholders), may terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement; provided, however, that the indemnification obligations of the Servicer under Section 7.2 shall survive such termination. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Notes, the Certificates, the Trust Property or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee or other successor Servicer appointed under Section 8.2; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee or such other successor Servicer shall have no liability with respect to any obligation that was required to be performed by the terminated Servicer prior to the appointment of the Indenture Trustee or such other successor Servicer or any claim of any third party base on any alleged action or inaction of the terminated Servicer.

 

(b)          The Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee shall have no obligation to notify the Noteholders, the Certificateholders or any other Person of the occurrence of any event specified in Section 8.1(a) prior to the continuance of such event through the end of any cure period specified in Section 8.1(a).

  

 

8.2          Indenture Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor Servicer.

 

(a)          Upon the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.6 or the termination of the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.1, the Indenture Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement and shall be subject to all the obligations and duties placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee, as successor Servicer, shall not, in any event, make any Simple Interest Advances pursuant to Section 4.4, shall have no obligations pursuant to Section 3.7 with respect to the repurchase of Receivables and shall have no obligations pursuant to Section 3.8 with respect to the fees and expenses of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, the fees and expenses of the Owner Trustee’s attorneys or the Indenture Trustee’s attorneys, the fees and expenses of any custodian appointed by the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, the fees and expenses of independent accountants or expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports to the Certificateholders or the Noteholders. As compensation therefor, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation (whether payable out of the Collection Account or otherwise) as the Servicer would have been entitled to under this Agreement if no such resignation or termination had occurred, except that all collections on or in respect of the Receivables shall be deposited in the Collection Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt and shall not be retained by the successor Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling so to act, or shall, if it is legally unable so to act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, an Eligible Servicer as the successor to the terminated Servicer under this Agreement. In connection with such appointment, the Indenture Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor Servicer out of collections on or in respect of the Receivables as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that such compensation shall not be greater than that payable to CarMax as Servicer hereunder without the prior consent of the Holders of Notes evidencing at least 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class. The Indenture Trustee and such successor Servicer shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. The Indenture Trustee shall not be relieved of its duties as successor Servicer under this Section 8.2 until a newly appointed Servicer shall have assumed the obligations and duties of the terminated Servicer under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for any servicing fee or for any differential in the amount of the servicing fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any successor Servicer to act as successor Servicer hereunder.

 

(b)          The successor Servicer is authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the outgoing Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the transfer of servicing to the successor Servicer, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the Receivable Files or the certificates of title to the Financed Vehicles or otherwise. The outgoing Servicer shall cooperate with the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and such successor Servicer in effecting the termination of its responsibilities and rights as Servicer under this Agreement, including the transfer to the successor Servicer for administration of all cash amounts that are at the time held by the outgoing Servicer for deposit or thereafter shall be received with respect to a Receivable, all Receivable Files and all information or documents that the successor Servicer may require. In addition, the outgoing Servicer shall transfer its electronic records relating to the Receivables to the successor Servicer in such electronic form as the successor Servicer may reasonably request. All reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred or payable by the successor Servicer in connection with the transfer of servicing (whether due to termination, resignation or otherwise), including allowable compensation of employees and overhead costs incurred or payable in connection with the transfer of the Receivable Files or any amendment to this Agreement required in connection with the transfer of servicing, (the “Transition Costs”) shall be paid by any applicable then outgoing Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. Any such Transition Costs not paid by the outgoing Servicer shall be paid solely from the application of Available Funds pursuant to Section 2.8(a)(ii) and (xiii) or Section 5.4(b)(ii) of the Indenture, as applicable.

 

  

(c)          If the Indenture Trustee is appointed successor Servicer pursuant to Section 8.2, it shall be entitled to such compensation (whether payable out of the Collection Account or otherwise) as the outgoing Servicer would have been entitled to under this Agreement if such outgoing Servicer had not resigned or been terminated. If a Person other than the Indenture Trustee is appointed successor Servicer pursuant to Section 8.2(a), the Indenture Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor Servicer out of collections on or in respect of the Receivables as it and such successor Servicer shall agree; provided, however, that such compensation shall not be greater than that payable to CarMax as Servicer hereunder without the prior consent of the Holders of Notes evidencing at least 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class; and, provided further, that, if a Person other than the Indenture Trustee is appointed successor Servicer pursuant to Section 8.2(a) because the Indenture Trustee refuses to act as successor Servicer (in breach of the terms of this Agreement and notwithstanding that it is legally able to do so), the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any Additional Servicing Fees with respect to such successor Servicer in an aggregate amount not to exceed $150,000 per year. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for any servicing fee or for any differential in the amount of the servicing fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any successor Servicer to act as successor Servicer hereunder other than pursuant to the preceding sentence.

 

(d)          Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the successor Servicer is authorized to accept and rely on all of the accounting records (including computer records) and work of the prior Servicer relating to the Receivables (collectively, the “Predecessor Servicer Work Product”) without any audit or other examination thereof, and the successor Servicer shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability for the acts and omissions of the prior Servicer. If any error, inaccuracy, omission or incorrect or non-standard practice or procedure (collectively, “Errors”) exists in any Predecessor Servicer Work Product and such Error makes it materially more difficult to service or should cause or materially contribute to the successor Servicer making or continuing any Error (collectively, “Continuing Errors”), the successor Servicer shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability for such Continuing Errors; provided, however, that the successor Servicer agrees to use its best efforts to prevent further Continuing Errors. If the successor Servicer becomes aware of Errors or Continuing Errors, it shall, with the prior consent of the Holders of Notes evidencing at least 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, use its best efforts to reconstruct and reconcile such data as is commercially reasonable to correct such Errors and Continuing Errors and to prevent future Continuing Errors. The successor Servicer shall be entitled to recover its costs expended in connection with such efforts in accordance with Section 2.8(a)(ii) and (xiii) of the Indenture, as applicable.

 

8.3          Effect of Servicing Transfer.

 

(a)          After a transfer of servicing hereunder, the Indenture Trustee or successor Servicer shall notify the Obligors to make directly to the successor Servicer payments that are due under the Receivables after the effective date of such transfer.

 

  

(b)          Except as provided in Section 8.2, after a transfer of servicing hereunder, the outgoing Servicer shall have no further obligations with respect to the administration, servicing, custody or collection of the Receivables and the successor Servicer shall have all of such obligations, except that the outgoing Servicer will transmit or cause to be transmitted directly to the successor Servicer for its own account, promptly on receipt and in the same form in which received, any amounts or items held by the outgoing Servicer (properly endorsed where required for the successor Servicer to collect any such items) received as payments upon or otherwise in connection with the Receivables.

 

(c)          Any successor Servicer shall provide the Depositor with access to the Receivable Files and to the successor Servicer’s records (whether written or automated) with respect to the Receivable Files. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the successor Servicer. Nothing in this Section 8.3 shall affect the obligation of the successor Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors, and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 8.3.

 

(d)          Any transfer of servicing hereunder shall not constitute an assumption by the related successor Servicer of any liability of the related outgoing Servicer arising out of any breach by such outgoing Servicer of such outgoing Servicer’s duties hereunder prior to such transfer of servicing.

 

8.4          Notification to Noteholders, Certificateholders and Rating Agencies. Upon any notice of an Event of Servicing Termination or upon any termination of, or any appointment of a successor to, the Servicer pursuant to this Article VIII, the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Noteholders and the Owner Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Certificateholders, the Administrator and the Depositor (who shall promptly give such notice to the Rating Agencies).

 

8.5          Waiver of Past Events of Servicing Termination. The Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class may, on behalf of all Noteholders, waive any Event of Servicing Termination and its consequences, except an event resulting from the failure to make any required deposits to or payments from the Collection Account, the Note Payment Account, the Certificate Payment Account or the Reserve Account in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of an Event of Servicing Termination, such event shall cease to exist, and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other event or impair any right arising therefrom, except to the extent expressly so waived.

 

8.6          Repayment of Advances. If the identity of the Servicer shall change, the predecessor Servicer shall be entitled to receive reimbursement for outstanding and unreimbursed Simple Interest Advances made pursuant to Section 4.4 by the predecessor Servicer.

 

  

Article IX

9.1          Optional Purchase of All Receivables.

 

(a)          If, as of the last day of any Collection Period, the Pool Balance shall be less than or equal to 10% of the Pool Balance as of the Cutoff Date, the Servicer shall have the option to purchase on the following Distribution Date the Owner Trust Estate, other than the Collection Account, the Note Payment Account, the Certificate Payment Account or the Reserve Account. To exercise such option, the Servicer shall notify the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies no later than ten (10) days prior to the Distribution Date on which such repurchase is to be effected and shall deposit into the Collection Account on the Business Day preceding such Distribution Date an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Amount for the Receivables, plus the appraised value of any other Trust Property, if necessary, other than the Collection Account, the Note Payment Account, the Certificate Payment Account or the Reserve Account, such value to be determined by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Servicer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be permitted to exercise such option unless the amount to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to this Section (a) is at least equal to the sum of all amounts due to the Servicer under this Agreement plus the Note Balance plus all accrued but unpaid interest (including any overdue interest) on the Notes plus all amounts due to the Servicer in any outstanding and unreimbursed Simple Interest Advances and any outstanding and unreimbursed Unreimbursed Servicer Advances. Upon such payment, the Servicer shall succeed to and own all interests in and to the Trust. The aggregate Purchase Amount for such Distribution Date, plus, to the extent necessary, all amounts in the Reserve Account shall be used to make payments in full to the Noteholders in the manner set forth in Article IV.

 

(b)          [RESERVED].

 

(c)          Following the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture and the payment in full of the principal of and interest on the Notes, the Certificateholders shall succeed to the rights of the Noteholders hereunder and the Indenture Trustee shall continue to carry out its obligations hereunder with respect to the Certificateholders, including making distributions from the Collection Account in accordance with Section 4.6(d) and making withdrawals from the Reserve Account in accordance with Sections 4.6(b) and 4.7.
