ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES

SECTION 3.01 Duties of the Servicer. (a) The Servicer is hereby appointed and authorized to act as agent for the Owner of the Receivables and in such capacity shall manage, service, administer and make collections on the Receivables with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to comparable motor vehicle related receivables that it services for itself or others. The Servicer hereby accepts such appointment and authorization and agrees to perform the duties of Servicer with respect to the Receivables set forth herein and in the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements.

(b) The Servicer’s duties shall include collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors, investigating delinquencies, sending payment coupons to Obligors, reporting tax information to Obligors, policing the collateral, accounting for collections and furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Owner of any Receivables with respect to distributions, generating federal income tax information and performing the other duties specified herein. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.02, the Servicer shall follow its customary standards, policies and procedures and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with such managing, servicing, administration and collection that it may deem necessary or desirable.

(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Owner of the Receivables, pursuant to this Section 3.01, to execute and deliver, on behalf of all Interested Parties, or any 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 and the Financed Vehicles. The Servicer is hereby authorized to commence, in its own name or in the name of the Owner of such Receivable a legal proceeding, whether through judicial process or (with respect to repossession of a Financed Vehicle) non-judicial process, to enforce a Liquidating Receivable as contemplated by Section 3.04, to enforce all obligations of GMAC and XXXX under this Agreement and under the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements or to commence or participate in a legal proceeding (including a bankruptcy case) relating to or involving a Receivable or a Liquidating Receivable. If the Servicer commences or participates in such a legal proceeding in its own name, the Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Owner of the Receivables pursuant to this

Section 3.01 to obtain possession of the related Financed Vehicle and immediately and without further action on the part of the Owner or the Servicer, the Owner of such Receivable shall thereupon automatically assign in trust such Receivable and the security interest in the related Financed Vehicle to the Servicer for the benefit of the Interested Parties for purposes of commencing or participating in any such proceeding as a party or claimant. Upon such automatic assignment, the Servicer will be, and will have all the rights and duties of, a secured party under the UCC and other applicable law with respect to such Receivable and the related Financed Vehicle. At the Servicer’s request from time to time, the Owner of a Receivable assigned under this Section 3.01 shall provide the Servicer with evidence of the assignment in trust for the benefit of the Interested Parties as may be reasonably necessary for the Servicer to take any of the actions set forth in the following sentence.

(d) The Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Owner of a Receivable to execute and deliver in the Servicer’s name any notices, demands, claims, complaints, responses, affidavits or other documents or instruments in connection with any such proceeding. Any Owner of Receivables shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents and take any other steps which the Servicer may deem necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement and the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements. Except to the extent required by the preceding two sentences, the authority and rights granted to the Servicer in this Section 3.01 shall be nonexclusive and shall not be construed to be in derogation of the retention by the Owner of a Receivable of equivalent authority and rights.

SECTION 3.02 Collection 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 shall follow such collection practices, policies and procedures as it follows with respect to comparable motor vehicle related receivables that it services for itself or others in connection therewith. Except as provided in Section 3.07(a)(iii), the Servicer is hereby authorized to grant extensions, rebates or adjustments on a Receivable without the prior consent of the Owner of such Receivable. The Servicer is authorized in its discretion to waive any prepayment charge, late payment charge or any other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing such Receivable.

SECTION 3.03 Rebates on Full Prepayments on Scheduled Interest Receivables. If the amount of a full Prepayment by an Obligor under a Scheduled Interest Receivable, after adjustment for the Rebate, is less than the amount that would be payable under the actuarial method if a full Prepayment were made at the end of the billing month under such Scheduled Interest Receivable, either because the Rebate calculated under the terms of such Receivable is greater than the amount calculable under the actuarial method or because the Servicer’s customary servicing procedure is to credit a greater Rebate, the Servicer, as part of its servicing duties, shall remit such difference to the Owner of such Receivable.

SECTION 3.04 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 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 other actions by the Servicer in order to realize upon such a Receivable. 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 that such repair and/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 (or as may otherwise be provided in the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements).

SECTION 3.05 Maintenance of Insurance Policies. The Servicer shall, in accordance with its customary practices, policies and procedures, require that each Obligor shall have obtained physical damage insurance covering the Financed Vehicle as of the execution of the related Receivable. The Servicer shall, in accordance with its customary practices, policies and procedures, monitor such physical damage insurance with respect to each Receivable.

SECTION 3.06 Maintenance of Security Interests in Vehicles. The Servicer shall, in accordance with its customary practices, policies and procedures and at its own expense, take such steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest created by each Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle. The Owner of each Receivable hereby authorizes the Servicer to re-perfect such security interest on behalf of such Owner, as necessary because of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle, or for any other reason.

SECTION 3.07 Covenants, Representations and Warranties of the Servicer. As of the Closing Date, the Servicer hereby makes the following representations, warranties and covenants on which XXXX relies in accepting the Receivables hereunder and pursuant to the related First Step Receivables Assignment, and on which the Issuing Entity shall rely in accepting such Receivables and executing and delivering the Securities under the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements.

due date (in the case of a Simple Interest Receivable) occurs after the Final Scheduled Distribution Date.

(ii) Due Qualification.

(v) No Violation. The consummation by the Servicer of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements, and the fulfillment by the Servicer of the terms hereof and thereof, shall not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under, the certificate of formation or limited liability company agreement of the Servicer, or any indenture, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument to which the Servicer is a party or by which it is bound, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument, other than this Agreement and the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements, or violate any law or, to the best of the Servicer’s knowledge, any order, rule or regulation applicable to the Servicer of any court or of any federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Servicer or any of its properties; and

SECTION 3.08 Purchase of Receivables Upon Breach of Covenant. Upon discovery by any of the Servicer, XXXX or any party under the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements of a breach of any of the covenants set forth in Sections 3.06 and 3.07(a), 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 discovering or receiving notice of such breach (or, at the Servicer’s election, the last day of the first Monthly Period so following), the Servicer shall, unless it shall have cured such breach in all material respects, purchase from the Owner thereof any Receivable materially and adversely affected by such breach as determined by such Owner and, on the related Distribution Date, the Servicer shall pay the Administrative Purchase Payment, and shall be entitled to receive the Released Administrative Amount, if any. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Servicer to purchase any Receivable with respect to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall, if such obligation is fulfilled, constitute the sole remedy against the Servicer for such breach available to XXXX or any Interested Party.

SECTION 3.09 Basic Servicing Fee; Payment of Certain Expenses by Servicer. The Servicer is entitled to receive the Basic Servicing Fee out of collections in respect of the Receivables and other available funds, as and to the extent set forth in the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements. The Servicer shall also be entitled to Investment Earnings as, and to the extent, set forth in the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements. Subject to any limitations on the Servicer’s liability under the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements, the Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities under this Agreement and under the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements (including fees and disbursements of the Issuing Entity, any trustees and independent accountants, taxes imposed on the Servicer, expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports to holders of Securities and all other fees and expenses not expressly stated under this Agreement or the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements to be for the account of the holders of Securities).

SECTION 3.10 Servicer’s Accounting. On each Determination Date under a Further Transfer and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall deliver to each of the trustees and other applicable parties under the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements and to XXXX and the Rating Agencies a Servicer’s Accounting with respect to the immediately preceding Monthly Period executed by the President or any Vice President of the Servicer containing all information necessary to each such party for making any distributions required by the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements, and all information necessary to each such party for sending any statements required under the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements. Receivables to be

purchased by the Servicer under Sections 3.08 or 5.04 or to be repurchased by XXXX or GMAC under the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements as of the last day of any Monthly Period shall be identified by Receivable number (as set forth in the Schedule of Receivables). With respect to any Receivables for which XXXX is the Owner, the Servicer shall deliver to XXXX such accountings relating to such Receivables and the actions of the Servicer with respect thereto as XXXX may reasonably request.

SECTION 3.11 Application of Collections. For the purposes of this Agreement and the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements, no later than each Distribution Date all collections for the related Monthly Period shall be applied by the Servicer as follows:

(a) With respect to each Scheduled Interest Receivable (other than an Administrative Receivable or a Warranty Receivable), payments by or on behalf of the Obligor that are not Supplemental Servicing Fees shall be applied first to reduce outstanding advances of shortfalls in collections, if any, made pursuant to the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements with respect to such Receivable. Next, the amount of any such payments that are not Supplemental Servicing Fees and are in excess of such advances with respect to such Receivable shall be applied to the Scheduled Payment with respect to such Receivable. Any amount of such payments remaining after the applications described in the preceding two sentences constitutes an Excess Payment with respect to such Receivable, and such Excess Payment (to the extent it does not constitute a Payment Ahead) shall be applied to prepay such Receivable. If the amounts applied under the first two sentences of this Section 3.11(a) shall be less than the Scheduled Payment, whether as a result of any extension granted to the Obligor or otherwise, then the Deferred Prepayment, if any, with respect to such Receivable shall be applied by the Servicer to the extent of the shortfall, and such Deferred Prepayment shall be reduced accordingly.

(b) With respect to all Simple Interest Receivables (other than Administrative Receivables and Warranty Receivables), payments by or on behalf of the Obligors that are not Supplemental Servicing Fees shall be applied first to the payment to the Servicer of Excess Simple Interest Collections, if any, and next to principal and interest on all such Simple Interest Receivables.

(c) With respect to a Scheduled Interest Receivable or a Simple Interest Receivable that is also an Administrative Receivable and Warranty Receivable, payments by or on behalf of the Obligor shall be applied in the same manner as set forth in Section 3.11(a) or Section 3.11(b), as applicable, except that any Released Administrative Amount or Released Warranty Amount shall be remitted to the Servicer or XXXX, as applicable. In the case of a Scheduled Interest Receivable, a Warranty Payment shall be applied first to reduce any advances described in Section 3.11(a); and then the remaining amount of such Warranty Payment or an Administrative Purchase Payment, as applicable, shall be applied to the Scheduled Payment, in each case to the extent that the payments by or on behalf of the Obligor shall be insufficient to pay such amount, and then to prepay such Receivable in full. In the case of a Simple Interest Receivable, a Warranty Payment or an Administrative Purchase Payment, as applicable, shall be applied to principal and interest on such Receivable.

ARTICLE IV

(m) Lawful Assignment. No Receivable was originated in, or is subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction the laws of which would make unlawful the sale, transfer and assignment of such Receivable under this Agreement, the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Indenture, as applicable.
