 SECTION 3.01 Representations and

were more than thirty (30) days delinquent), and was not a Liquidating Receivable, and (4) has an Annual Percentage Rate not greater than [        ]%. 

[In addition, with respect to the Initial Receivables, Scheduled Interest Receivables represent (based on Principal Balances)

(iv) [Cumulative Receivables. Following the addition of all Additional Receivables on each Subsequent Cutoff Date, the sum of the Amount
Financed of each Cumulative Receivable as of such date that had an original term in excess of 60 months, measured as of its date of origination, is not greater than [            ] of the
Aggregate Amount Financed of the Cumulative Receivables as of such date.] 
 (b) Creation, Perfection and Priority of
Security Interests. The representations and warranties regarding creation, perfection and priority of security interests in the Purchased Property, which are attached to this Agreement as Appendix B, are true and correct to the extent
that they are applicable. 
 (c) Schedule of Receivables. The information set forth in the Schedule of [Initial]
Receivables relating to each Receivable is[, and each Schedule of Additional Receivables relating to each Receivable will be,] true and correct in all material respects, and no selection procedures believed to be adverse to Ally Auto or to holders
of the Securities issued under the Further Transfer Agreements were utilized in selecting the Receivables from those receivables of the Seller that meet the selection criteria set forth in this Agreement.

and the sale of the Financed Vehicle evidenced thereby complied at the time it was originated or made and now complies in all material respects with all legal requirements of the jurisdiction in which it was originated or made. 

  
 6 








 (e) Binding Obligation. Each such Receivable represents the genuine, legal, valid and
binding payment obligation in writing of the Obligor thereon, enforceable by the holder thereof in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting the enforcement
of creditors’ rights in general and by equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 
 (f) Security Interest in Financed Vehicle. Immediately prior to the sale, transfer and assignment thereof pursuant hereto and the First Step Receivables Assignment[s], each Receivable was secured
by a validly perfected first priority security interest in the Financed Vehicle in favor of the Seller as secured party or all necessary and appropriate action had been commenced that would result in the valid perfection of a first priority security
interest in the Financed Vehicle in favor of the Seller as secured party. 
 (g) Receivables In Force. Each such
Receivable has not been satisfied, subordinated or rescinded, and the Financed Vehicle securing each such Receivable has not been released from the lien of the related Receivable in whole or in part. 

(h) No Waiver. Since the [Initial] Cutoff Date [or any Subsequent Cutoff Date, as applicable,] no provision of any such Receivable
has been waived, altered or modified in any respect. 
 (i) No Defenses. No right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or
defense has been asserted or threatened with respect to any such Receivable. 
 (j) No Liens. To the best of the
Seller’s knowledge: (1) there are no liens or claims that have been filed for work, labor or materials affecting any Financed Vehicle securing any Receivable that are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the security
interest in the Financed Vehicle granted by such Receivable; (2) no contribution failure has occurred with respect to any Benefit Plan which is sufficient to give rise to a lien under Section 303 (k) of ERISA with respect to any
Receivable; and (3) no tax lien has been filed and no claim related thereto is being asserted with respect to any such Receivable. 
 (k) Insurance. The Obligor under each such Receivable is required to maintain a physical damage insurance policy of the type that the Seller requires in accordance with its customary underwriting
standards for the purchase of motor vehicle related receivables. 
 (l) Good Title. Each such Receivable has not been
sold, transferred, assigned or pledged by the Seller to any Person other than Ally Auto; immediately prior to the conveyance of each such Receivable pursuant to this Agreement and the First Step Receivables Assignment[s], the Seller had good and
marketable title thereto, free of any Lien; and, upon execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Seller, Ally Auto shall have all of the right, title and interest of the Seller in and to each such Receivable, the unpaid indebtedness evidenced
thereby and the collateral security therefor, free of any Lien. 

  
 7 








 (m) Lawful Assignment. Each such Receivable was not originated in, or is subject to
the laws of, any jurisdiction the laws of which would make unlawful the sale, transfer and assignment of each such Receivable under this Agreement, the Trust Sale Agreement or the Indenture, as applicable. 

(n) All Filings Made. All filings (including UCC filings) necessary in any jurisdiction to give Ally Auto a first priority
perfected ownership interest in each such Receivable shall have been made. 
 (o) One Original. There is only one
original executed copy of each such Receivable. 
 (p) No Documents or Instruments. No such Receivable, or constituent
part thereof, constitutes a “negotiable instrument” or “negotiable document of title” (as such terms are used in the UCC). 
 (q) No Amendment. Each such Receivable has not been amended or otherwise modified such that the [total number of the Obligor’s Scheduled Payments (in the case of a Scheduled Interest
Receivable) or the] number of originally scheduled due dates [(in the case of a Simple Interest Receivable)] has been increased or such that the Amount Financed has been increased.

that would, could or might make any financing statement or continuation statement filed by the Seller, Ally Auto or Ally Auto’s assigns in accordance with Section 4.02(a) seriously misleading within the meaning of the UCC, unless it
shall give Ally Auto written notice thereof within ten (10) days of such change. 
 (c) Executive Office; Maintenance of
Offices. The Seller shall give Ally Auto written notice within ten (10) days of any relocation of its principal executive office if, as a result of such relocation, the applicable provisions of the UCC would require the filing of any

Section 4.02(a). 
 SECTION 4.03 Other Liens or Interests. Except for the conveyances hereunder and under the
First Step Receivables Assignment[s] and as contemplated by the Further Transfer Agreements, the Seller shall not sell, pledge, assign or transfer the Receivables or other Purchased Property to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or
suffer to exist any Lien on any interest therein, and the Seller shall defend the right, title and interest of Ally Auto in, to and under such Receivables or other Purchased Property against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the
Seller. 
 SECTION 4.04 Repurchase Events. By its execution of the Further Transfer Agreements to which it is a party,
the Seller shall acknowledge the assignment by Ally Auto of such of its right, title and interest in, to and under this Agreement and the First Step Receivables Assignment[s] to the Issuing Entity as shall be provided in the Further Transfer
Agreements. The Seller hereby covenants and agrees with Ally Auto for the benefit of Ally Auto and the Interested Parties that in the event of a breach of any of the Seller’s representations and warranties contained in Section 3.01

 11 









 
agrees to repurchase such Receivable from Ally Auto for an amount and upon the same terms as the Seller would be obligated to repurchase such Receivable from the Issuing Entity if the Issuing
Entity was then the Owner thereof, and upon payment of such amount, the Seller shall have such rights with respect to such Receivable as if the Seller had purchased such Receivable from the Issuing Entity as the Owner thereof. It is understood and
agreed that the obligation of the Seller to repurchase any Receivable as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall, if such obligation is fulfilled, constitute the sole remedy against the Seller for such breach available to Ally Auto or
any Interested Party. 
 SECTION 4.05 Indemnification. The Seller shall indemnify Ally Auto for any liability as a result
of the failure of a Receivable to be originated in compliance with all requirements of law. This indemnity obligation shall be in addition to any obligation that the Seller may otherwise have. 

SECTION 4.06 Further Assignments. The Seller acknowledges that Ally Auto may, pursuant to the Further Transfer Agreements, sell
the Receivables to the Issuing Entity and assign its rights hereunder and under the First Step Receivables Assignment[s] to the Issuing Entity, subject to the terms and conditions of the Further Transfer Agreements, and that the Issuing Entity may

 APPENDIX B 
 Additional Representations and Warranties 
  

	1.	While it is the intention of the Seller and Ally Auto 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 Ally Auto, this Agreement, the Trust Sale Agreement and the Indenture create a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Purchased Property in favor
of Ally Auto, 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, Ally Auto 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 Ally Auto 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. 


 

	5.	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 Ally Auto hereunder, the Issuing Entity under the Trust Sale Agreement and the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture.


  

	6.	Other than the security interest granted to Ally Auto pursuant to the Basic Documents, the Issuing Entity under the Trust Sale Agreement and the Indenture Trustee under
the Indenture none of the Seller, Ally Auto 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, Ally Auto or the Issuing Entity has authorized
the filing of, nor is the Seller aware of, any financing statements against the Seller, Ally Auto 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 Ally Auto, 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, Ally
Auto or the Issuing Entity. 

  

	7.	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 Ally Auto. All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Seller in favor of Ally Auto 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 Ally Auto.”
