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 process 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 billing statements to Obligors, policing the collateral, including remarketing repossessed and returned Financed Vehicles, 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 (including proceeds). The Servicer is hereby authorized to (i) 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, (ii) participate in a voluntary or involuntary liquidation proceeding to enforce a Liquidating Receivable or Receivable as contemplated by Section 3.03, (iii) enforce all obligations of the Seller, the Servicer, XXXX or the Issuing Entity under this Agreement and under the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements or (iv) 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 immediately prior to such legal or liquidation proceeding 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 3.06(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 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 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 the Basic Documents, in servicing Liquidating Receivables so as to maximize the net collection 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 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 3.04 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, track such physical damage insurance with respect to each Receivable.

SECTION 3.05 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 3.06 Covenants, Representations and Warranties of the Servicer. As of the Initial Closing Date with respect to the Initial Receivables and as of each Subsequent Closing Date with respect to the Additional Receivables purchased on each such Subsequent 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.

(ii) Due Qualification. The Servicer is duly qualified to do business as a foreign entity in good standing, and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals, in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business (including the servicing of the Receivables) requires or shall require such qualification;

(iii) Power and Authority.

(iv) Binding Obligation. The Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements and this Agreement, when duly executed and delivered, shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Servicer enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and by general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law;

(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 articles of incorporation or bylaws (or similar organizational documents) 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

(vi) No Proceedings. To the Servicer’s knowledge, there are no proceedings or investigations pending, or threatened, before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other tribunal or governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Servicer or its properties (A) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement and the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements or any Securities issued thereunder, (B) seeking to prevent the issuance of such Securities or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements, or (C) seeking any determination or ruling that might materially and adversely affect this Agreement, the performance by the Servicer of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements.

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.

Additional Representations and Warranties

While it is the intention of the Seller and XXXX that the transfer and assignment contemplated by this Agreement and the First Step Receivables Assignment shall constitute sales of the Purchased Property from the Seller to XXXX, this Agreement, the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture create a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Purchased Property in favor of XXXX, the Trust 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 Seller, XXXX and the Issuing Entity, respectively.

2.	All steps necessary to perfect the Seller’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 XXXX under this Agreement, the Receivables constitute “tangible chattel paper” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

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

The Seller 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 XXXX hereunder, the Issuing Entity under the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture.

Other than the security interest granted to XXXX 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, XXXX 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, XXXX or the Issuing Entity has authorized the filing of, nor is the Seller aware of, any financing statements against the Seller, XXXX 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 XXXX, the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee under the Basic Documents or any financing statement that has been terminated. The Seller is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Seller, XXXX or the Issuing Entity.

The Custodian has in its possession or with 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 XXXX. All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Seller in favor of XXXX 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 XXXX.”
