        any proceeds from the repossession or liquidation of the EFLLC Receivables;

    (i) True Sale.  The EFLLC Receivables are being transferred with the intention of removing them from Seller’s estate pursuant to Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code, as the same may be amended from time to
        time.

     

    (j) Chief Executive Office and Principal Place of Business.  As of the Closing Date, the chief executive office and principal place of business of Seller is located at 2101 W. John Carpenter Freeway,

    (k) Schedule of EFLLC Receivables.  The information set forth in the Schedule of EFLLC Receivables has been produced from the Electronic Ledger and was true and correct in all material respects as of the
        close of business on the Cutoff Date.

     

    (l) Adverse Selection.  No selection procedures adverse to the Noteholders were utilized in selecting the EFLLC Receivables from those receivables owned by the Seller which met the selection criteria set
        forth in this Agreement.

     

    (m) Chattel Paper.  The EFLLC Receivables constitute “tangible chattel paper” or “electronic chattel paper” within the meaning of the UCC as in effect in the States of New York and Delaware.

     

    (n) One Original.  There is only one original executed copy (or with respect to “electronic chattel paper”, one authoritative copy) of each Contract.  With respect to Contracts that are “electronic chattel
        paper”, each authoritative copy (a) is unique, identifiable and unalterable (other than with the participation of the Custodian in the case of an addition or amendment of an identified assignee and other than a revision that is readily identifiable
        as an authorized or unauthorized revision) and (b) has been communicated to and is maintained by or on behalf of the Custodian, solely for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee.

     

    (o) Not an Authoritative Copy.  With respect to Contracts that are “electronic chattel paper”, each copy of the authoritative copy and any copy of a copy are readily identifiable as copies that are not the
        authoritative copy.

     

    
      6

      
        


    

    (p) Revisions.  With respect to Contracts that are “electronic chattel paper”, the related EFLLC Receivables have been established in a manner such that (a) all copies or revisions that add or change an
        identified assignee of the authoritative copy of each such Contract must be made with the participation of the Custodian and (b) all revisions of the authoritative copy of each such Contract must be readily identifiable as an authorized or
        unauthorized revision.

     

    (q) Pledge or Assignment.  With respect to Contracts that are “electronic chattel paper”, the authoritative copy of each Contract communicated to the Custodian has no marks or notations indicating that it
        has been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Custodian.

     

    (r) Contract Possession.  With respect to any EFLLC Receivables that constitute tangible chattel paper, (a) the fully executed original Contracts (which may contain electronic, facsimile or manual
        signatures) are in the possession of the Custodian and the Indenture Trustee has received a Custodian’s Acknowledgment (as defined in the Custodian Agreement) from the Custodian that the Custodian is holding such fully executed original Contracts
        solely on behalf and for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Issuer or (b) the Custodian received possession of such fully executed original Contracts after the Indenture Trustee received a Custodian’s Acknowledgment (as defined
        in the Custodian Agreement) from the Custodian that the Custodian is acting solely as agent of the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Issuer.

     

    (s) Security Interest in Financed Vehicle.  This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the UCC) in the EFLLC Receivables in favor of the Purchaser, which security
        interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from the Seller.  Immediately after the sale, transfer and assignment thereof by the Seller to the Purchaser, each EFLLC Receivable will be secured
        by an enforceable and perfected first priority security interest in the Financed Vehicle in favor of the Purchaser as secured party, which security interest is prior to all other Liens upon and security interests in such Financed Vehicle which now
        exist or may hereafter arise or be created (except, as to priority, for any lien for taxes, labor or materials affecting a Financed Vehicle).

     

    (t) All Filings Made.  Seller has caused or will have caused, within ten days after the Closing Date, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the State of Delaware
        under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the EFLLC Receivables granted to the Purchaser hereunder.

     

    (u) No Impairment.  Other than the security interest granted to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and except any other security interests that have been fully released and discharged as of the
        Closing Date, the Seller has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the EFLLC Receivables.  The Seller has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the
        Seller that include a description of collateral covering the EFLLC Receivables other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the

     

    
      7

      
        


    

    Purchaser hereunder or that has been terminated.  The Seller is not aware of any judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings against it.

     

    (v) Lockbox Account.  Each Obligor has been, or will be, directed to make all payments on their related EFLLC Receivable to the Lockbox Bank for deposit into the Lockbox Account.

     

    (w) Perfection.  The Seller has taken all steps necessary to perfect its security interest against the related Obligors in the property securing the EFLLC Receivables.

     

    SECTION 3.2   Representations and Warranties of Purchaser.  Purchaser makes the following representations and warranties as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, on which Seller relies in selling, assigning, transferring and conveying
        the EFLLC Receivables and the EFLLC Other Conveyed Property to Purchaser hereunder.  Such representations are made as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, but shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the EFLLC Receivables and
        the EFLLC Other Conveyed Property hereunder, the sale, transfer and assignment thereof by Purchaser to the Issuer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the contribution thereof by the Issuer to the Holding Trust pursuant to the Contribution
        Agreement, and the pledge thereof by the Holding Trust to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture.

     

    (a) Organization and Good Standing.  Purchaser has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Delaware, with the power
        and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business as such properties are currently owned and such business is currently conducted, and had at all relevant times, and has, full power, authority and legal right to acquire and own the
        EFLLC Receivables and the EFLLC Other Conveyed Property, and to transfer the EFLLC Receivables and the EFLLC Other Conveyed Property to the Issuer pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

     

    (b) Due Qualification.  Purchaser is duly qualified to do business as a foreign limited liability company, is in good standing, and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in all jurisdictions
        where the failure to do so would materially and adversely affect Purchaser’s ability to acquire the EFLLC Receivables or the EFLLC Other Conveyed Property, and to transfer the EFLLC Receivables and the EFLLC Other Conveyed Property to the Issuer
        pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, or the validity or enforceability of the EFLLC Receivables and the EFLLC Other Conveyed Property or to perform Purchaser’s obligations hereunder and under the Purchaser’s Related Documents.

     

    (c) Power and Authority.  Purchaser has the power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out the terms hereof and to acquire the EFLLC Receivables and the EFLLC Other

      8

      
        


    

    (d) No Consent Required.  Purchaser is not required to obtain the consent of any other Person, or any consent, license, approval or authorization or registration or declaration with, any governmental
        authority, bureau or agency in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement and the Related Documents, except for such as have been obtained, effected or made.

     

    (e) Binding Obligation.  This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Purchaser, enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with its terms, subject, as to enforceability, to
        applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, conservatorship, receivership, liquidation and other similar laws and to general equitable principles.

     

    (f) No Violation.  The execution, delivery and performance by Purchaser of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Documents and the fulfillment
        of the terms of this Agreement and the Related Documents do not and will 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 Purchaser, or conflict with or breach any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under, any indenture, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust
        or other instrument to which Purchaser is a party or by which Purchaser is bound or to which any of its properties are subject, 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, the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture, or violate any law, order, rule or regulation, applicable to Purchaser or its properties, of any
        federal or state regulatory body, any court, administrative agency, or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over Purchaser or any of its properties.

     

    (g) No Proceedings.  There are no proceedings or investigations pending, or, to the knowledge of Purchaser, threatened against Purchaser, before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, or other
        tribunal or governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over Purchaser or its properties:  (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement or any of the Related Documents, (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions
        contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Related Documents, (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that might materially and adversely affect the performance by Purchaser of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this
        Agreement or any of the Related Documents or (iv) that may adversely affect the federal or state income tax attributes of, or seeking to impose any excise, franchise, transfer or similar tax upon, the transfer and acquisition of the EFLLC
        Receivables and the EFLLC Other Conveyed Property hereunder or the transfer of the EFLLC Receivables and the EFLLC Other Conveyed Property to the Issuer pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

     

    In the event of any breach of a representation and warranty made by Purchaser hereunder, Seller covenants and agrees that it will not take any action to pursue any
      remedy that it may have hereunder, in law, in equity or otherwise, until a year and a day have passed

     

    
      9

      
        


    

    since the date on which all Notes, Certificates, pass-through certificates or other similar securities issued by Purchaser, or a trust or similar vehicle formed by
      Purchaser, have been paid in full.  Seller and Purchaser agree that damages will not be an adequate remedy for such breach and that this covenant may be specifically enforced by Purchaser, Issuer or by the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the
      Noteholders and Owner Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.

     

    SECTION 3.3   Representations and Warranties of Seller as to each EFLLC Receivable.  Seller makes the representations and warranties set forth on the Schedule of Representations as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date as to the EFLLC
        Receivables sold, transferred, assigned and otherwise conveyed to the Purchaser under this Agreement, on which Purchaser relies in purchasing the EFLLC Receivables and in transferring the EFLLC Receivables to the Issuer under the Sale and Servicing
        Agreement.  Such representations are made as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, but shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the EFLLC Receivables hereunder, the sale, transfer and assignment thereof by Purchaser to the
        Issuer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the contribution thereof by the Issuer to the Holding Trust pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, and the pledge thereof by the Holding Trust to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture.  Any
        inaccuracy in any of such representations or warranties shall be deemed not to constitute a breach of such representations or warranties if such inaccuracy does not affect the ability of the Issuer to receive and retain payment in full on such
        EFLLC Receivable.

     

    ARTICLE IV.

      

      COVENANTS OF SELLER

     

    SECTION 4.1   Protection of Title of Purchaser.

     

    (a) At or prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall have filed or caused to be filed a UCC-1 financing statement, naming Seller as seller or debtor, naming Purchaser as purchaser or secured party and describing the
        EFLLC Receivables and the EFLLC Other Conveyed Property being sold by it to Purchaser as collateral, with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and in such other locations as Purchaser shall have required. From time to time
        thereafter, Seller shall authorize and file such financing statements and cause to be authorized and filed such continuation statements, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve, maintain and protect the
        interest of Purchaser under this Agreement, of the Issuer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement and of the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture in the EFLLC Receivables and the EFLLC Other Conveyed Property and in the proceeds thereof.  Seller
        shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to Purchaser and the Indenture Trustee file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon as available following such filing.  In the event that Seller fails to
        perform its obligations under this subsection, Purchaser, Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may do so, at the expense of the Seller.  In furtherance of the foregoing, the Seller hereby authorizes the Purchaser, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee to
        file a record or records (as defined in the applicable UCC), including, without limitation, financing statements, in all jurisdictions and with all filing offices as the Purchaser or the Issuer may determine, in its sole

     

    
      10

      
        


    

    discretion, are necessary or advisable to perfect the security interest granted to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.9 of this Agreement.  Such financing statements
      may describe the collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as such party may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary, advisable
      or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the collateral granted to the Purchaser herein.  The Indenture Trustee shall not be obligated to file any such records (including, without limitation, financing statements) except upon
      written instruction from the Seller or the Issuer.

     

    (b) Seller shall not change its name, identity, state of incorporation or corporate structure in any manner that would, could or might make any financing statement or continuation statement filed by Seller (or by
        Purchaser, Issuer or the Indenture Trustee on behalf of Seller) in accordance with paragraph (a) above seriously misleading within the meaning of §9-506 of the applicable UCC, unless they shall have given Purchaser, Issuer and the Indenture Trustee
        at least 60 days’ prior written notice thereof, and shall promptly file appropriate amendments to all previously filed financing statements and continuation statements.

     

    (c) Seller shall give Purchaser, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee at least 60 days prior written notice of any relocation that would result in a change of the location of the debtor within the meaning of
        Section 9-307 of the applicable UCC.  Seller shall at all times maintain (i) each office from which it services EFLLC Receivables within the United States of America or Canada and (ii) its principal executive office within the United States of
        America.

     

    (d) Prior to the Closing Date, Seller has maintained accounts and records as to each EFLLC Receivable accurately and in sufficient detail to permit (i) the reader thereof to know at any time as of or prior to the
        Closing Date, the status of such EFLLC Receivable, including payments and recoveries made and payments owing (and the nature of each) and (ii) reconciliation between payments or recoveries on (or with respect to) each EFLLC Receivable and the
        Principal Balance as of the Cutoff Date.  Seller shall maintain its computer systems so that, from and after the time of sale under this Agreement of the EFLLC Receivables to Purchaser, the conveyance of the EFLLC Receivables by Purchaser to the
        Issuer and the contribution of the EFLLC Receivables by the Issuer to the Holding Trust, Seller’s master computer records (including archives) that shall refer to an EFLLC Receivable indicate clearly that such EFLLC Receivable has been sold to
        Purchaser, has been conveyed by Purchaser to the Issuer and has been contributed by the Issuer to the Holding Trust.  Indication of the Holding Trust’s ownership of an EFLLC Receivable shall be deleted from or modified on Seller’s computer systems
        when, and only when, the EFLLC Receivable shall become a Purchased Receivable or shall have been paid in full pursuant to the terms of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

     

    (e) If at any time Seller shall propose to sell, grant a security interest in, or otherwise transfer any interest in any motor vehicle receivables to any prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee, Seller
        shall give to such prospective purchaser,

     

    
      11

      
        


    

    lender, or other transferee computer tapes, records, or print-outs (including any restored from archives) that, if they shall refer in any manner whatsoever to any
      EFLLC Receivable (other than an EFLLC Receivable that is a Purchased Receivable), shall indicate clearly that such EFLLC Receivable has been sold to Purchaser, sold by Purchaser to Issuer, contributed by the Issuer to the Holding Trust, and is owned
      by the Holding Trust.

     

    SECTION 4.2   Other Liens or Interests.  Except for the conveyances hereunder, Seller will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on the EFLLC Receivables or the EFLLC
        Other Conveyed Property or any interest therein, and Seller shall defend the right, title, and interest of Purchaser and the Issuer in and to the EFLLC Receivables and the EFLLC Other Conveyed Property against all claims of third parties claiming
        through or under Seller.

     

    SECTION 4.3   Costs and Expenses.  Seller shall pay all reasonable costs and disbursements in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder and under its Related Documents.

     

    ARTICLE V.

      

      REPURCHASES

     

    SECTION 5.1   Repurchase of EFLLC Receivables Upon Breach of Warranty.  Upon the occurrence of a Repurchase Event, Seller shall, unless the breach which is the subject of such Repurchase Event shall have been cured in all material respects,
        repurchase the EFLLC Receivable relating thereto from the Issuer if and only if the interests of the Noteholders therein are materially and adversely affected by any such breach and, simultaneously with the repurchase of the EFLLC Receivable,
        Seller shall deposit the Purchase Amount in full, without deduction or offset, to the Collection Account, pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.  Any such breach will be deemed not to have a material and adverse effect on the
        interests of the Noteholders in the EFLLC Receivable if such breach has not affected the ability of the Issuer or Noteholders to receive and retain timely payment in full on such EFLLC Receivable.  It is understood and agreed that, except as set
        forth in Section 6.1 hereof, the obligation of Seller to repurchase any EFLLC Receivable, as to which a breach occurred and is continuing, shall, if such obligation is fulfilled, constitute the sole remedy against Seller for such breach available
        to Purchaser, the Issuer, the Backup Servicer (including the Backup Servicer in its capacity as the successor Servicer if so appointed), the Noteholders, the Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders or the Owner
        Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.  The provisions of this Section 5.1 are intended to grant the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee a direct right against Seller to demand performance hereunder, and in connection therewith, Seller waives
        any requirement of prior demand against Purchaser with respect to such repurchase obligation.  Any such repurchase shall take place in the manner specified in Section 3.2 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.  Notwithstanding any other provision of
        this Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement to the contrary, the obligation of Seller under this Section shall not terminate upon a termination of Seller as Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement and shall be performed in accordance
        with the terms hereof

     

    
      12

      
        


    

    notwithstanding the failure of the Servicer or Purchaser to perform any of their respective obligations with respect to such EFLLC Receivable under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

     

    SECTION 5.2   Reassignment of Purchased EFLLC Receivables.  Upon deposit in the Collection Account of the Purchase Amount of any EFLLC Receivable repurchased by Seller under Section 5.1 hereof, Purchaser and the Issuer shall take such steps as
        may be reasonably requested by Seller in order to assign to Seller all of Purchaser’s and the Issuer’s right, title and interest in and to such EFLLC Receivable and all security and documents and all EFLLC Other Conveyed Property conveyed to
        Purchaser and the Issuer directly relating thereto, without recourse, representation or warranty, except as to the absence of Liens created by or arising as a result of actions of Purchaser or the Issuer.  Such assignment shall be a sale and
        assignment outright, and not for security.  If, following the reassignment of a Purchased Receivable, in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding, it is held that Seller may not enforce any such EFLLC Receivable on the ground that it shall not be a
        real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the EFLLC Receivable, Purchaser and the Issuer shall, at the expense of Seller, take such steps as Seller deems reasonably necessary to enforce the EFLLC Receivable, including bringing suit in
        Purchaser’s or in the Issuer’s name.

     

    SECTION 5.3   Waivers.  No failure or delay on the part of Purchaser, or the Issuer as assignee of Purchaser, or the Indenture Trustee as assignee of the Issuer, in exercising any power, right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a
        waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or remedy preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy.

     

    ARTICLE VI.

      

      MISCELLANEOUS

     

    SECTION 6.1   Liability of Seller.  Seller shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations in this Agreement specifically undertaken by Seller and the representations and warranties of Seller.

     

    SECTION 6.2   Merger or Consolidation of Seller or Purchaser.  Any corporation or other entity (i) into which Seller or Purchaser may be merged or consolidated, (ii) resulting from any merger or consolidation to which Seller or Purchaser is a
        party or (iii) succeeding to the business of Seller or Purchaser, in the case of Purchaser, which entity has a certificate of incorporation or other similar organizational document containing provisions relating to limitations on business and other
        matters substantively identical to those contained in Purchaser’s certificate of formation, provided that in any of the foregoing cases such entity shall execute an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of Seller or Purchaser, as the
        case may be, under this Agreement and, whether or not such assumption agreement is executed, shall be the successor to Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, hereunder (without relieving Seller or Purchaser of their responsibilities hereunder, if
        it survives such merger or consolidation) without the execution or filing of any document or any further action by any of the parties to this Agreement.  Seller or Purchaser shall promptly inform the other party, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee
        and the Owner Trustee and, as a condition to the consummation of the transactions referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, (x) immediately after giving effect

     

    
      13

      
        


    

    to such transaction, no representation or warranty made pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 of this Agreement shall have been breached (for purposes hereof, such representations and
      warranties shall speak as of the date of the consummation of such transaction) and be continuing, (y) Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, shall have delivered written notice of such consolidation, merger or purchase and assumption to the Rating
      Agencies prior to the consummation of such transaction and shall have delivered to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate of the Seller or a certificate signed by or on behalf of the Purchaser, as applicable, and an Opinion of
      Counsel each stating that such consolidation, merger or succession and such agreement of assumption comply with this Section 6.2 and that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement relating to such transaction have been complied
      with, and (z) Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, shall have delivered to the Issuer, and the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, stating, in the opinion of such counsel, either (A) all financing statements and continuation statements and
      amendments thereto have been filed that are necessary to preserve and protect the interest of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in the EFLLC Receivables and reciting the details of the filings or (B) no such action shall be necessary to preserve
      and protect such interest.

     

    SECTION 6.3   Limitation on Liability of Seller and Others.  Seller and any director, manager, officer, employee or agent thereof may rely in good faith on the advice of counsel or on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and
        submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising under this Agreement.  Seller shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its obligations under this Agreement or its Related
        Documents and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability.

     

    SECTION 6.4   Seller May Own Notes or Certificates.  Subject to the provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, Seller and any Affiliate of Seller may in their individual or any other capacity become the owner or pledgee of Notes or
        Certificates with the same rights as they would have if they were not Seller or an Affiliate thereof.

     

    SECTION 6.5   Amendment.

     

    (a) This Agreement may be amended by Seller and Purchaser without the consent of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, or any of the Certificateholders or the Noteholders (i) to cure any ambiguity or to
        conform this Agreement to the Prospectus; provided, however, that the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee will be entitled to receive and conclusively rely upon an Opinion of Counsel described in Section 6.5(e) in connection with
        any such amendment or (ii) to correct or supplement any provisions in this Agreement, to comply with any changes in the Code or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement which shall not be
        inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that (A) such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, adversely affect in any material
        respect the interests of any Certificateholder or Noteholder or (B) the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with respect to such amendment and the Purchaser or the Seller shall have notified the Indenture Trustee in writing that the
        Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied with respect to such amendment.

     

    
      14

      
        


    

    (b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by Seller and Purchaser, and with the consent of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders evidencing not less than a majority of the outstanding principal
        amount of the Notes, in accordance with the Sale and Servicing Agreement, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement, or of modifying in any manner the rights of
        Certificateholders or Noteholders; provided, however, to the extent not otherwise permitted by clause (a) above, the Seller delivers to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (which may be provided by the Seller’s internal counsel) stating
        that no such amendment shall increase or reduce in any manner the amount or priority of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, collections of payments on EFLLC Receivables or distributions that shall be required to be made on any Note or
        Certificate, unless the Holders of all of the outstanding Notes of each class and the Certificateholders, in each case, affected thereby have consented thereto.

        Trustee may prescribe, including the establishment of record dates.  The consent of a Holder of the Certificate or a Note given pursuant to this Section or pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on such
        Holder and on all future Holders of such Certificate or such Note and of any Certificate or any Note issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange thereof or in lieu thereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon the Certificate or
        Note.

     

    (e) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive and conclusively rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that

        business, was originated in accordance with Exeter’s credit policies and was fully and properly executed by the parties thereto, (C) contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof

    3. Origination.  Each EFLLC Receivable was originated in the United States.

     

    4. Binding Obligation.  Each EFLLC Receivable represents the genuine, legal, valid and binding payment obligation of the Obligor thereon, enforceable by the holder thereof in accordance with its terms, except (A) as
        enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by equitable limitations on the availability of specific remedies, regardless of whether such
        enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law and (B) as such EFLLC Receivable may be modified by the application after the Cutoff Date of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, as amended.

    of any EFLLC Receivable have been waived, altered or modified in any respect since its origination, except by instruments or documents identified in the Receivable File or the Servicer’s
      electronic records.

     

    8. Lawful Assignment.  No EFLLC Receivable was originated in, or is subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction the laws of which would make unlawful, void or voidable the sale, transfer and assignment of such EFLLC Receivable
        under this Agreement.

     

    9. Security Interest in Financed Vehicle.  Each EFLLC Receivable created or shall create a valid, binding and enforceable first priority security interest in favor of Exeter in the Financed Vehicle.  The Lien Certificate for

        Issuer or the Holding Trust, as applicable, as first lienholder has been applied for.

     

    10. No Defenses.  The records of the Servicer do not reflect any facts which would give rise to any right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, with respect to any EFLLC Receivable,
        or the same being asserted or threatened with respect to such EFLLC Receivable.

     

    11. No Default.  The records of the Servicer did not disclose that any default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any EFLLC Receivable existed as of the Cutoff Date (other than payment
        delinquencies of not more than 30 days) or that any condition exists or event has occurred and is continuing that with notice, the lapse of time or both would constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms
        of any EFLLC Receivable (other than payment delinquencies of not more than 30 days), and the Seller has not waived any of the foregoing.

     

    12. Insurance.  At the time of an origination of an EFLLC Receivable by a Dealer or Direct Lender, each Financed Vehicle is required to be covered by a comprehensive and collision insurance policy insuring against loss and
        damage due to fire, theft, transportation, collision and other risks generally covered by comprehensive and collision coverage.  No Financed Vehicle is insured under a policy of Force-Placed Insurance on the Cutoff Date.

    15. Prepayment.  Each EFLLC Receivable allows for prepayment and partial prepayments without penalty and requires that a prepayment by the related Obligor will fully pay the principal balance and accrued interest through the
        date of prepayment based on the EFLLC Receivable’s Annual Percentage Rate.

     

    16. Chattel Paper.  Each EFLLC Receivable constitutes “tangible chattel paper” or “electronic chattel paper” within the meaning of the UCC as in effect in the States of New York and Delaware.

     

    17. One Original.  There is only one original executed copy (or with respect to “electronic chattel paper”, one authoritative copy) of each Contract.  With respect to Contracts that are “electronic chattel paper”, each
        authoritative copy (a) is unique, identifiable and unalterable (other than with the participation of the Custodian in the case of an addition or amendment of an identified assignee and other than a revision that is readily identifiable as an
        authorized or unauthorized revision and (b) has been communicated to and is maintained by or on behalf of the Custodian, solely for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee.

     

    18. Good Title.  Immediately prior to the conveyance of the EFLLC Receivables to the Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Seller was the sole owner thereof and had good title thereto, free of any Liens not
