(vii) all present and future claims, demands, causes and choses in action in respect of any or all of the foregoing described in clauses (i) through (vi) above and all payments on or under and all proceeds of every kind and nature whatsoever in respect of any or all of the foregoing, including all proceeds of the conversion of any or all of the foregoing, voluntary or involuntary, into cash or other liquid property, all cash proceeds, accounts, accounts receivable, notes, drafts, acceptances, chattel paper, checks, deposit accounts, insurance proceeds, investment property, payment intangibles, general intangibles, condemnation awards, rights to payment of any and every kind and other forms of obligations and receivables, instruments and other property which at any time constitute all or part of or are included in the proceeds of any of the foregoing.

(b) Additional Receivables. On each Distribution Date during the Revolving Period, the Depositor shall purchase from the Seller and sell to the Issuing Entity Additional Receivables in an amount approximately equal to (but not greater than) the amount of funds deposited on such Distribution Date in the Accumulation Account pursuant to clauses (vii) and (ix) of Section 4.06(c) of this Agreement. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.07, in consideration of the Issuing Entity’s delivery on or prior to any Subsequent Closing Date to the Depositor of an amount equal to the Aggregate Additional Receivables Principal Balance for such date, on each Subsequent Closing Date the Depositor shall, pursuant to this Agreement and the related Second Step Additional Receivables Assignment in the form attached as Exhibit C to this Agreement (the “Second Step Additional Receivables Assignment” and together with the Second Step Initial Receivables Assignment, the “Second Step Receivables Assignments”), sell, transfer, assign and otherwise convey to the Issuing Entity, without recourse:

(i) all right, title and interest of the Depositor in, to and under the Additional Receivables listed on the Schedule of Additional Receivables delivered on or prior to the related Subsequent Closing Date and all monies received thereon on and after the related Subsequent Cutoff Date, exclusive of any amounts allocable to the premium for physical damage collateral protection insurance required by the Servicer or the Seller covering any related Financed Vehicle;

(c) It is the intention of the Depositor and the Issuing Entity that the transfers and assignments contemplated by this Agreement and the Second Step Receivables Assignments shall constitute sales of the Receivables from the Depositor to the Issuing Entity for the purpose of applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other similar laws, so that the beneficial interest in and title to the Receivables shall 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.

(d) The foregoing sales, transfers, assignments and other conveyances do not constitute and are not intended to result in the creation of or an assumption by the Issuing Entity of any obligation of the Servicer, the Depositor or any other Person to the Obligors, Dealers, insurers or any other Person in connection with the Receivables, any Dealer Agreements, any insurance policies or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of them.

(e) Within two (2) Business Days after the Initial Closing Date, with respect to the Initial Receivables, and within two (2) Business Days after each related Subsequent Closing Date, with respect to the Additional Receivables, the Servicer shall cause to be deposited into the Collection Account the collections on the Receivables described in Section 5.07 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that so long as the Monthly Remittance Conditions are satisfied, such collections need not be deposited until the Distribution Date immediately following the Initial Closing Date or Subsequent Closing Date, as applicable. The Issuing Entity shall retain in the Accumulation Account any funds deposited therein on a Distribution Date which are not used pursuant to Section 2.01(b) above to purchase Additional Receivables.

Section 2.02 Custody of Receivable Files. In connection with the sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the Issuing Entity pursuant to this Agreement and the Second Step Receivables Assignments, the Custodian, under the Custodian Agreement, agrees to act as Custodian thereunder for the benefit of the Issuing Entity. The Issuing Entity hereby accepts and agrees to the terms and provisions of the Custodian Agreement and designates Ally Financial as the custodian with respect to the Receivables Files.

Section 2.03 Acceptance by Issuing Entity. The Issuing Entity does hereby accept all consideration conveyed by the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.01(a) and shall accept all consideration to be conveyed pursuant to Section 2.01(b), and declares that the Issuing Entity shall hold such consideration upon the trust set forth in the Trust Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders, subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, this Agreement and the Second Step Receivables Assignments and the rights of the Noteholders with respect thereto. The Issuing Entity hereby agrees to and accepts the appointment and authorization of Ally Financial as Servicer under Section 3.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The parties agree that this Agreement, the Second Step Receivables Assignments, the Indenture, the Trust Agreement, the Notes and the Certificates constitute the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements for purposes of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that the rights, duties and obligations of the Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are subject to the provisions of Sections 6.02, 6.04, 6.05, 9.01 and Article VII hereof.

Section 2.04 Representations and Warranties as to the Receivables. Pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(v), the Depositor assigns to the Issuing Entity all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Such assigned right, title and interest includes the benefit of representations and warranties of the Seller made to the Depositor pursuant to Section 4.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Issuing Entity that the Depositor has taken no action which would cause such representations and warranties of the Seller to be false in any material respect as of the Initial Closing Date with respect to the Initial Receivables, and as of the related Subsequent Closing Date, with respect to the Additional Receivables. The Depositor further acknowledges that the Issuing Entity and its permitted assignees rely on the representations and warranties of the Depositor under this Agreement and of the Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in accepting the Receivables in trust and executing and delivering the Notes and the Certificates. The foregoing representation and warranty speaks as of the Initial Closing Date with respect to the Initial Receivables, and as of the related Subsequent Closing Date, with respect to the Additional Receivables, but shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the Issuing Entity and the pledge thereof to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.

Section 2.05 Repurchase of Receivables Upon Breach of Warranty. Upon discovery by the Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee of a breach of any of the representations and warranties in Section 4.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or in Section 2.04 or Section 3.01 of this Agreement that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders in any Receivable, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice thereof to the others. As of the last day of the second Monthly Period following its discovery or its receipt of notice of such breach (or, at the Depositor’s election, the last day of the first Monthly Period following such discovery or receipt of notice), unless such breach shall have been cured in all material respects, in the event of a breach of the representations and warranties made by the Depositor in Section 2.04 or Section 3.01, the Depositor shall repurchase, or in the event of a breach of a representation and warranty under Section 4.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Depositor and the Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to enforce the obligation of the Seller under Section 5.04 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to repurchase such Receivable from the Issuing Entity on the related Distribution Date. The repurchase price to be paid by the breaching party (the “Warranty Purchaser”) shall be an amount equal to the Warranty Payment calculated as of the last day of the related Monthly Period. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Warranty Purchaser to repurchase any Receivable as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing, and the obligation of the Depositor and the Servicer to enforce the Seller’s obligation to repurchase such Receivables pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall, if such obligations are fulfilled, constitute the sole remedy against the Depositor, the Servicer or the Seller for such breach available to the Issuing Entity, the Financial Parties, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee. The Servicer also acknowledges its obligations to repurchase Administrative Receivables from the Issuing Entity pursuant to Section 3.07 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Section 2.06 Realization Upon Liquidating Receivables. The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts, consistent with its customary practices, policies and procedures, to repossess or otherwise comparably convert the ownership or gain control of any Financed Vehicle that it has reasonably determined should be repossessed or otherwise converted following a default

under the Receivable secured by the Financed Vehicle. The Servicer is authorized to follow such customary practices, policies and procedures as it follows with respect to comparable motor vehicle related receivables that it services for itself or others, which customary practices, policies and procedures may include reasonable efforts to realize upon any recourse to Dealers, selling the related Financed Vehicle at public or private sale and the taking of other actions by the Servicer in order to realize upon such a Receivable. The Servicer is hereby authorized to exercise its discretion consistent with its customary practices, policies and procedures and the terms of this Agreement, in servicing Liquidating Receivables so as to maximize the net collections of those Liquidating Receivables, including the discretion to choose to sell or not to sell any of the Liquidating Receivables itself on behalf of the Depositor or any other Owner. The Servicer shall not be liable for any such exercise of its discretion made in good faith and in accordance with such servicing procedures. The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which the Financed Vehicle shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not expend funds in connection with any repair or towards the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless it shall determine in its discretion and in accordance with such servicing procedures that such repair or repossession shall increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Receivable by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses. The Servicer shall be entitled to receive Liquidation Expenses with respect to each Liquidating Receivable at such time as the Receivable becomes a Liquidating Receivable.

Section 2.07 Conditions to Sales of Additional Receivables. The Depositor shall sell, transfer, assign and otherwise convey to the Issuing Entity on each Subsequent Closing Date the Additional Receivables and the other property and rights related thereto described in Section 2.01(b) only upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions on or prior to such Subsequent Closing Date:

(a)

(i) The Servicer, for the benefit of the Financial Parties, shall establish and maintain in the name of the Indenture Trustee an Eligible Deposit Account known as the Capital Auto Receivables Asset Trust 2015-1 Collection Account (the “Collection Account”), bearing an additional designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Financial Parties.

(ii) The Servicer, for the benefit of the Noteholders, shall establish and maintain in the name of the Indenture Trustee an Eligible Deposit Account known as the Capital Auto Receivables Asset Trust 2015-1 Note Distribution Account (the “Note Distribution Account”), bearing an additional designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Noteholders.

(iii) The Servicer, for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders, shall establish and maintain in the name of the Indenture Trustee an Eligible Deposit Account known as the Capital Auto Receivables Asset Trust 2015-1 Accumulation Account (the “Accumulation Account”), bearing an additional designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders.

(b)

(i) Each of the Designated Accounts shall be initially established with the Indenture Trustee. At any time after the Initial Closing Date, the Servicer, upon thirty (30) days written notice to the Indenture Trustee or other Account Holder, shall have the right to instruct an Account Holder to transfer any or all of the Designated Accounts to another Eligible Institution designated by the Servicer in such notice. No Designated Account shall be maintained with an Account Holder if the short-term debt obligations of such Account Holder cease to have the Required Deposit Rating (except that any Designated Account may be maintained with an Account Holder even if the short-term debt obligations of such Account Holder do not have the Required Deposit Rating, if such Account Holder maintains such Designated Account in its corporate trust department). Should the short-term unsecured debt obligations of an Account Holder no longer have the Required Deposit Rating, then the Servicer shall, within ten (10) Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed thirty (30) calendar days, as to which each Rating Agency shall consent), with the Indenture Trustee’s assistance as necessary, cause each affected Designated Account (A) to be moved to an Account Holder that is an Eligible Institution or (B) with respect to the Designated Accounts only, to be moved to the corporate trust department of the Account Holder. All amounts held in Designated Accounts (including amounts, if any, which the Servicer is required to remit daily to the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.02) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, rules and regulations, be invested, at the written direction of the Servicer, by such Account Holder in Eligible Investments. Such written direction shall constitute certification by the Servicer that any such investment is authorized by this Section 5.01. Funds deposited in the Designated Accounts shall be invested in Eligible Investments which must mature or be liquidated (i) on the next Distribution Date, (ii) prior to the next Distribution Date if the Deposit Condition is satisfied or (iii) at such later date as shall be otherwise permitted by the Rating Agencies. Investments in Eligible Investments shall be made in the name of the Indenture Trustee or its nominee, and such investments shall not be sold or disposed of prior to their maturity; provided, however, that Notes held in the Reserve Account may be sold or disposed of prior to their maturity so long as (x) the Servicer directs the Indenture Trustee to make such sale or disposition, (y) the Indenture Trustee gives reasonable prior notice of such disposition to the Administrator and (z) such Notes are sold at a price equal to or greater than the unpaid principal balance thereof if, following such sale, the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account would be less than the Specified Reserve Account Balance. Investment Earnings on funds deposited in the Designated Accounts shall be payable to the Servicer. Each Account Holder holding a Designated Account as provided in this Section 5.01(b)(i), shall be a “Securities Intermediary.” If a Securities Intermediary shall be a Person other than the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall obtain the express agreement of such Person to the obligations of the Securities Intermediary set forth in this Section 5.01 and an Opinion of Counsel that such Person can perform such obligations.

(ii) With respect to the Designated Account Property, the Account Holder agrees, by its acceptance hereof, that:

(A) Any Designated Account Property that is held in deposit accounts shall be held solely in Eligible Deposit Accounts. The Designated Accounts are accounts to which Financial Assets will be credited.

(B) All securities or other property underlying any Financial Assets credited to the Designated Accounts shall be registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary, indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary and in no case will any Financial Asset credited to any of the Designated Accounts be registered in the name of the Issuing Entity, the Servicer or the Depositor, payable to the order of the Issuing Entity, the Servicer or the Depositor or specially indorsed to the Issuing Entity, the Servicer or the Depositor except to the extent the foregoing have been specially indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank.

(C) All property delivered to the Securities Intermediary pursuant to this Agreement will be credited upon receipt of such property to the appropriate Designated Account.

(D) Each item of property (whether investments, investment property, Financial Assets, securities, instruments or cash) credited to a Designated Account shall be treated as a “financial asset” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the New York UCC.

(E) If at any time the Securities Intermediary shall receive any order from the Indenture Trustee directing transfer or redemption of any Financial Asset relating to the Designated Accounts, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such order without further consent by the Issuing Entity, the Servicer, the Depositor or any other Person.

(F) The Designated Accounts shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, regardless of any provision in any other agreement. For purposes of the UCC, New York shall be deemed to be the Securities Intermediary’s jurisdiction and the Designated Accounts (as well as the Security Entitlements related thereto) shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

(G) The Securities Intermediary has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement with any other Person relating to the Designated Accounts and/or any Financial Assets or other property credited thereto pursuant to which it has agreed to comply with entitlement orders (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the New York UCC) of such other Person and the Securities Intermediary has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement with the Issuing Entity, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Account Holder or the Indenture Trustee purporting to limit or condition the obligation of the Securities Intermediary to comply with entitlement orders as set forth in Section 5.01(b)(ii)(E) hereof.

(H) Except for the claims and interest of the Indenture Trustee in the Designated Accounts, the Securities Intermediary has no actual knowledge of claims to, or interests in, the Designated Accounts or in any Financial Asset credited thereto. If any other Person asserts any Lien, encumbrance or adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process) against the Designated Accounts or in any Financial Asset carried therein, the Securities Intermediary will promptly notify the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer and the Issuing Entity thereof.

(I) The Securities Intermediary will promptly send copies of all statements, confirmations and other correspondence concerning the Designated Accounts and/or any Designated Account Property simultaneously to each of the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee, at the addresses set forth in Appendix B to this Agreement.

(J) The Account Holder shall maintain each item of Designated Account Property in the particular Designated Account to which such item originated and shall not commingle items from different Designated Accounts.

(iii) The Servicer shall have the power, revocable by the Indenture Trustee (or by the Owner Trustee with the consent of the Indenture Trustee) to instruct the Indenture Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the Designated Accounts for the purpose of permitting the Servicer or the Owner Trustee to carry out its respective duties hereunder or permitting the Indenture Trustee to carry out its duties under the Indenture.

(iv) The Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in and to all funds on deposit from time to time in the Designated Accounts and in all proceeds thereof (except Investment Earnings). Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Indenture, the Designated Accounts shall be under the exclusive dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Securityholders and the Indenture Trustee shall have sole signature power and authority with respect thereto.

(v) The Servicer shall not direct the Account Holder to make any investment of any funds or to sell any investment held in any of the Designated Accounts unless the security interest granted and perfected in such account shall continue to be perfected in such investment or the proceeds of such sale, in either case without any further action by any Person, and, in connection with any direction to the Account Holder to make any such investment or sale, if requested by the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, to such effect.

(d) The Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Securities Intermediary, the Account Holder and each other Eligible Institution with whom a Designated Account is maintained waives any right of set-off, counterclaim, security interest or bankers’ lien to which it might otherwise be entitled.

Section 5.02 Collections. If a Monthly Remittance Condition is not satisfied, commencing with the first day of the first Monthly Period that begins at least two (2) Business Days after the day on which any Monthly Remittance Condition ceases to be satisfied, the Servicer shall remit to the Collection Account all payments by or on behalf of the Obligors on the Receivables and all Liquidation Proceeds within two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Monthly Remittance Condition is unsatisfied, the Servicer may utilize an alternative remittance schedule (which may include a remittance schedule utilized by the Servicer at a time when the Monthly Remittance Conditions were satisfied), if the Servicer provides to the Indenture Trustee written confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such alternative remittance schedule will not result in the downgrading or withdrawal by the

Rating Agencies of the ratings then assigned to the Notes or the Certificates. At all times when all Monthly Remittance Conditions are satisfied, the Servicer shall remit collections received during a Monthly Period to the Collection Account in immediately available funds on or before the related Distribution Date.

Section 5.03 Investment Earnings and Supplemental Servicing Fees. The Servicer shall be entitled to receive all Investment Earnings (with the exception of Investment Earnings on funds in the Accumulation Account) and Supplemental Servicing Fees when and as paid without any obligation to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Depositor in respect thereof. The Servicer will have no obligation to deposit any such amount in any account established hereunder. To the extent that any such amount shall be held in any account held by the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, or otherwise established hereunder, such amount will be withdrawn therefrom and paid to the Servicer upon presentation of a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer setting forth, in reasonable detail, the amount of such Investment Earnings or Supplemental Servicing Fees.

Section 5.04 [Reserved].

Section 5.05 Additional Deposits. The Servicer and the Depositor shall deposit in the Collection Account the aggregate Administrative Purchase Payments and Warranty Payments with respect to Administrative Receivables and Warranty Receivables, respectively. All such deposits with respect to a Monthly Period shall be made in immediately available funds on or before the Distribution Date related to such Monthly Period.

The Servicer shall provide notice of any merger, consolidation or succession pursuant to this Section 6.02 to the Rating Agencies.

Section 6.03 Limitation on Liability of Servicer and Others.

(a) Neither the Servicer nor any of the directors or officers or employees or agents of the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Issuing Entity, the Noteholders or the Certificateholders, except as specifically provided in this Agreement and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture or the Trust Agreement or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such Person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence (except errors in judgment) in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture, the Trust Agreement or any other Basic Document.

In no event, however, shall the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee be liable to the Servicer for any damages in the nature of special, indirect or consequential damages, however styled, including lost profits.

(c) Except as provided in this Agreement or in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties to service the Receivables in accordance with this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Servicer may undertake any reasonable action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties to this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the interests of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders under this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the interests of the Noteholders under the Indenture and the interests of the Certificateholders under the Trust Agreement.

The Servicer may at any time perform specific duties as Servicer through sub-contractors who are in the business of servicing motor vehicle related receivables; provided, however, that no such delegation or sub-contracting shall relieve the Servicer of its responsibility with respect to such duties.

Section 6.05 Servicer Not to Resign. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.02, the Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties imposed on it by this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Servicer except upon determination that the performance of its duties under this Agreement or under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as the case may be, is no longer permissible under applicable law. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee. If, at the time of resignation, a successor Servicer has not accepted appointment as Servicer, the Indenture Trustee shall assume the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer in accordance with Section 7.02.

ARTICLE VII

DEFAULT

Section 7.01 Servicer Defaults. Each of the following shall constitute a “Servicer Default”:

(a) any failure by the Servicer to deliver to the Indenture Trustee for deposit in any of the Designated Accounts any required payment or to direct the Indenture Trustee to make any required distributions therefrom, which failure continues unremedied for a period of five (5) Business Days after written notice is received by the Servicer from the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee or after discovery of such failure by an officer of the Servicer;

(b) failure on the part of the Servicer to duly observe or perform in any material respect any other covenants or agreements of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture or the Trust Agreement which failure (i) materially and adversely affects the rights of Noteholders or Certificateholders, and (ii) continues unremedied for a period of ninety (90) days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee

or the Owner Trustee, or to the Servicer and to the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee by Noteholders whose Notes evidence not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class as of the close of the preceding Distribution Date or if no Notes are Outstanding, by Certificateholders whose Certificates evidence not less than 25% of the Voting Interests as of the close of the preceding Distribution Date;

(c) the entry of a decree or order by a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a conservator, receiver or liquidator for the Servicer, in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of ninety (90) consecutive days; or

(d) the consent by the Servicer to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities, or similar proceedings of or relating to the Servicer or of or relating to substantially all of its property; or the Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no Servicer Default where a Servicer Default would otherwise exist under clause (a) above for a period of an additional ten (10) Business Days or under clause (b) for a period of an additional sixty (60) days if the delay or failure giving rise to the Servicer Default was caused by an act of God or other similar occurrence. Upon the occurrence of any of these events, the Servicer shall not be relieved from using its best efforts to perform its obligations in a timely manner in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, and the Servicer shall provide the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Depositor and the Securityholders prompt notice of the failure or delay by it, together with a description of its efforts to so perform its obligations.

Section 7.02 Consequences of a Servicer Default. If a Servicer Default shall occur and be continuing, either the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders whose Notes evidence not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class as of the close of the preceding Distribution Date (or, if the Notes have been paid in full and the Indenture has been discharged in accordance with its terms, by the Owner Trustee or the Majority Certificateholders as of the close of the preceding Distribution Date) by notice then given in writing to the Servicer and the Owner Trustee (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by the Noteholders or the Certificateholders) may terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, whether with respect to the Notes, the Certificates or the Receivables or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee pursuant to and under this Section 7.02. The Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the 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 purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the Receivables and related documents, or otherwise. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and

rights of the Servicer under this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, including the transfer to the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee for administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the Servicer for deposit, or that shall have been deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account, or the Note Distribution Account or thereafter received with respect to the Receivables that shall at that time be held by the Servicer.

Section 7.03 Indenture Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.02, the Indenture Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for in this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, restrictions, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. 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 notice of termination had been given including the Basic Servicing Fee, Investment Earnings and Supplemental Servicing Fees. Notwithstanding the above, 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, a successor (i) having a net worth of not less than $100,000,000, (ii) which has a long term unsecured debt rating that falls within an investment grade category by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. or is otherwise acceptable to Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc.) and (iii) whose regular business includes the servicing of motor vehicle related receivables, as the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Indenture Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Receivables as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Servicer under this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Indenture Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Costs associated with the resignation of the Servicer and the appointment of a successor Servicer will be paid by the Indenture Trustee from amounts in the Trust Estate.

Section 7.04 Notification to Noteholders and Certificateholders. Upon any termination of, or appointment of a successor to, the Servicer pursuant to this Article VII, the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Noteholders and the Depositor, who promptly shall provide such notice to the Rating Agencies, and the Owner Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Certificateholders.

Section 7.05 Waiver of Past Defaults. Noteholders whose Notes evidence not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class as of the close of the preceding Distribution Date (or, if all of the Notes have been paid in full and the Indenture has been discharged in accordance with its terms, the Majority Certificateholders as of the close of the preceding Distribution Date) may, on behalf of all Noteholders and Certificateholders, waive any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences,

except a default in making any required deposits to or payments from any of the Designated Accounts in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

ARTICLE VIII

On the Distribution Date on which the Event of Default Proceeds are deposited in the Collection Account (or, if such proceeds are not so deposited on a Distribution Date, on the Distribution Date immediately following such deposit), the Servicer shall instruct the Applicable Trustee to make the following deposits (after the application on such Distribution Date of the Available Principal and the Available Interest and funds on deposit in the Reserve Account pursuant to Sections 4.06 and 4.07) from the Event of Default Proceeds and any funds remaining on deposit in the Reserve Account (including the proceeds of any sale of investments therein as described in the following sentence) in the following priority:

(ix) ninth, to the Note Distribution Account, an amount equal to the Aggregate Class E Interest Distributable Amount for payment of interest on the Class E Notes; and

Subject to Section 5.01(b), any investments on deposit in the Reserve Account which shall not mature on or before such Distribution Date shall be sold by the Indenture Trustee at such time as shall result in the Indenture Trustee receiving the proceeds from such sale not later than such Distribution Date and applied as set forth above. Any Event of Default Proceeds remaining after all the deposits and other payments described above have been paid in full shall be paid to the Certificateholder (or if the Certificate Distribution Account has been established pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Trust Agreement, then to such Certificate Distribution Account for distribution to the Certificateholders on a pro rata basis).

(c) Notice of any dissolution of the Issuing Entity shall be given by the Servicer to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee as soon as practicable after the Servicer has received notice thereof.

(d) Following the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture with respect to the Notes, and the payment in full of the principal and interest on the Notes, the Certificateholders shall succeed to the rights of the Noteholders hereunder and the Owner Trustee shall succeed to the rights of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Agreement (subject to the continuing obligations of the Indenture Trustee set forth in Sections 3.04, 6.03(b) and 7.03 of this Agreement and Section 4.4 of the Indenture).

(e) After indefeasible payment in full to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Noteholders, the Certificateholders and the Servicer of all amounts required to be paid under this Agreement, the Indenture and the Trust Agreement (including as contemplated by this Section 8.01), (i) any amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account and the Collection Account (after all other distributions required to be made from such accounts have been made and provision for the payment of all liabilities of the Issuing Entity as required by Section 3808 of the Statutory Trust Act) shall be paid to the Certificateholder (or if the Certificate Distribution Account has been established pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Trust Agreement, then to such Certificate Distribution Account for distribution to the Certificateholders on a pro rata basis) and (ii) any other assets remaining in the Issuing Entity shall be distributed to the Certificateholder (or if the Certificate Distribution Account has been established pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Trust Agreement, then to such Certificate Distribution Account for distribution to the Certificateholders on a pro rata basis).

Additional Representations and Warranties

This Agreement and the Indenture create a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Purchased Property in favor of the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Depositor and the Issuing Entity, respectively.

2.	All steps necessary to perfect the Depositor’s security interest against each Obligor in the property securing the Purchased Property have been taken.

3.	Prior to the sale of the Purchased Property to the Issuing Entity under this Agreement, the Receivables constitute “tangible chattel paper” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

4.	The Depositor owns and has good and marketable title to the Purchased Property free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person.

The Depositor has caused or will have caused, within ten (10) 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 Purchased Property granted to the Issuing Entity hereunder and the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture.

Other than the security interest granted to the Depositor pursuant to the Basic Documents, the Issuing Entity under the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture, none of the Seller, the Depositor or the Issuing Entity has pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Purchased Property. None of the Seller, the Depositor or the Issuing Entity has authorized the filing of, nor is the Depositor aware of, any financing statements against the Seller, the Depositor or the Issuing Entity that include a description of collateral covering the Purchased Property other than the financing statements relating to the security interests granted to the Depositor, the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee under the Basic Documents or any financing statement that has been terminated. The Depositor is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Seller, the Depositor or the Issuing Entity.

The Custodian has in its possession or with other third party vendors all original copies of the Receivables Files and other documents that constitute or evidence the Receivables and the Purchased Property. The Receivables Files and other documents that constitute or evidence the Purchased Property do not have any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Depositor. All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Depositor in favor of the Issuing Entity in connection herewith describing the Receivables 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 Issuing Entity.”
