Section 2.01           Conveyance of Receivables. In consideration of WOAR’s delivery to or upon the order of World Omni of the Purchase Price (as defined in Section 2.02 below), World Omni does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to WOAR, without recourse (subject to the obligations of World Omni herein), on the Closing Date (the “Purchase Date”) pursuant to a written assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit A (the “RPA Assignment”), all right, title and interest of World Omni, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, and wherever located, in and to the following (but none of the obligations of World Omni with respect to):

 

(a)             the Receivables identified in the Schedule of Receivables to the RPA Assignment (all of which are identified in World Omni’s computer files by a code indicating the Receivables are owned by the Trust and pledged to the Indenture Trustee) and all monies received thereon after the Cutoff Date;

 

(b)             the security interests in, and the liens on, the Financed Vehicles granted by Obligors in connection with the Receivables identified in the RPA Assignment and any other interest of World Omni in the Financed Vehicles;

 

(c)             any proceeds with respect to the Receivables identified in the RPA Assignment from claims on any physical damage, credit life or disability insurance policies covering the Financed Vehicles or Obligors;

 

(d)             any Financed Vehicle that shall have secured a Receivable identified in the RPA Assignment and shall have been acquired by or on behalf of World Omni, WOAR, or, upon the assignment contemplated by the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer or the Trust;

 

(e)             all “accounts,” “chattel paper,” “general intangibles” and “promissory notes” (as such terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code as from time to time in effect) constituting or relating to the foregoing; and

 

(f)             the proceeds of any and all of the foregoing; provided, however, that the foregoing items (a) through (f) shall not include the Purchase Price.

 

Section 2.02           Purchase Price. In consideration for the purchase of the Receivables and related assets pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof, WOAR shall pay to World Omni on the Closing Date an amount equal to the aggregate Starting Principal Balances for such Receivables (with respect to such Receivables, the “Purchase Price”) and World Omni shall execute and deliver to WOAR the RPA Assignment with respect to such Receivables and related assets.

Section 2.03           Intention of Parties. It is the intention of World Omni and WOAR that the assignment and transfer contemplated herein and by the RPA Assignment shall constitute (and shall be construed and treated for all purposes, other than for tax purposes, as) a true and complete sale of the Receivables identified in the RPA Assignment and other property specified in Section 2.01 hereof, conveying good title thereto free and clear of any liens and encumbrances, from World Omni to WOAR. However, in the event that such conveyance is deemed to be a pledge to secure a loan (in spite of the express intent of the parties hereto that such conveyance constitutes, and shall be construed and treated for all purposes, other than for tax purposes, as a true and complete sale), World Omni hereby grants to WOAR a first priority perfected security interest in all of World Omni’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables identified in the RPA Assignment and other property specified in Section 2.01 hereof whether now existing or hereafter created to secure the loan deemed to be made in connection with such pledge and, in such event, this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.

 

Section 2.04           The Closing. The sale and purchase of the Receivables shall take place at a closing at a place, on a date and at a time mutually agreeable to World Omni and WOAR and may occur simultaneously with the closing of any related transactions contemplated by (a) the Sale and Servicing Agreement and (b) the Indenture.

Section 5.02           Other Liens or Interests. Except for the conveyances hereunder and under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture, the Trust Agreement and the other Basic Documents, World Omni will 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 except for Liens that will be released contemporaneously with the transfer of the Receivables from World Omni to WOAR, and World Omni shall defend the right, title and interest of WOAR in, to and under the Receivables against all claims of third parties claiming through or under World Omni; provided, however, that World Omni’s obligations under this Section shall terminate upon the termination of the Trust pursuant to the Trust Agreement.

 

 

Section 5.03           Indemnification. World Omni shall indemnify WOAR for any liability resulting from (i) the failure of a Receivable to be originated in compliance in all material respects with all requirements of applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations thereunder, including usury laws, the federal Truth-in-Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Gramm ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Act, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ Warranty Act, the Federal Reserve Board’s Regulations B and Z, and State adaptations of the National Consumer Act and of the Uniform Consumer Credit Code, and other consumer credit laws and equal credit opportunity and disclosure laws and (ii) any breach of any of its representations and warranties contained herein and any failure by World Omni to comply with its obligations under Sections 5.01 and 5.02 hereof, provided that World Omni’s repurchase obligation as set forth in Section 3.02(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement for a breach of representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.01(a) thereof is the sole remedy therefor, except with respect to matters set forth in (i) above.

Section 5.04           Access to Records. World Omni shall provide to the Asset Representations Reviewer access to its records and documents related to the Receivables if the Asset Representations Reviewer is required to conduct a Review. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during the normal business hours at the offices of World Omni. Nothing in this Section 5.04 shall affect the obligation of World Omni to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors and the failure of World Omni to provide access to information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 5.04.

 

Section 5.05           Credit Risk Retention.
