 (iii) to discuss its affairs, finances and

 Such inspections and discussions shall be conducted during normal business hours at UACC’s cost and expense and shall not unreasonably disrupt the
business of UACC, the Transferor or the Issuer, as the case may be. Absent an Event of Default hereunder or under the Indenture, a Servicer Termination Event or a Trigger Event, the Insurer shall not conduct such inspections or discussions more

including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all expenses and legal fees; provided that failure to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability it may have to
such Indemnified Party except to the extent that it shall be actually prejudiced thereby. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof at the expense of the
Indemnified Party and may assume the defense of any such action or claim in reasonable cooperation with, and with the reasonable cooperation of, the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the fees and expenses of separate counsel
to the Indemnified Party in any such proceeding shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party if (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to assume the defense of such
action or proceeding or employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party in any such action or proceeding within a reasonable time after the commencement of such action or (iii) the named parties to any such action or proceeding
(including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or

shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action or proceeding on behalf of such Indemnified Party, it being 

  

 22 







 
understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or
related actions or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for the Indemnified Parties,
which firm shall be designated in writing by the Indemnified Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action or proceeding effected without its written consent to the extent that any such settlement shall be
prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, but, if settled with its written consent, or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action or proceeding with respect to which
the Indemnifying Party shall have received notice in accordance with this subsection (d), the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or
judgment. 
  
 (f) To provide for just and equitable contribution
if the indemnification provided by the Indemnifying Party is determined to be unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Party (other than due to application of this Section), each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the losses
incurred by the Indemnified Party on the basis of the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other hand. The relative fault of each Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and each Indemnified
Party, on the other, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the breach or alleged breach is within the control of the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, and the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such breach. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. 
  
 Section 3.5 Payment
Procedure. In the event of any payment by the Insurer for which reimbursement is sought under Section 3.3, the Issuer, UACC, the Transferor, the Seller and the Indenture Trustee agree to accept the voucher or other evidence of payment as
prima facie evidence of the propriety thereof and the liability, if any, described in Section 3.3 therefor to the Insurer; provided, that with respect to claims for reimbursement of amounts other than amounts paid by the Insurer

expiration of time period shall be made or occur on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if such payment was made or time period expired on the scheduled date of payment or expiration date. 
  
 Section 3.6 Subrogation. The parties hereto acknowledge that, to the
extent of any payment made by the Insurer pursuant to the Ambac Policy, the Insurer shall be fully subrogated to the extent of such payment and any interest due thereon, to the rights of the 

  

 23 







 
Noteholders to any moneys paid or payable in respect of the Class A Notes under the Transaction Documents or otherwise subject to applicable law. The parties
hereto agree to such subrogation and further agree to execute such instruments and to take such actions as, in the sole and reasonable judgment of the Insurer, are necessary to evidence such subrogation and to perfect the rights of the Insurer to
receive any such moneys paid or payable in respect of the Class A Notes, under the Transaction Documents or otherwise. 
  
 ARTICLE IV 
  
 FURTHER AGREEMENTS 
  
 Section 4.1 Effective Date; Term of the Insurance Agreement. This Insurance Agreement shall take effect on the Closing Date and shall remain in effect until the later of (a) such time as the Insurer is no
longer subject to a claim under the Ambac Policy and such policy has been surrendered to the Insurer for cancellation and (b) such time as all amounts payable to the Insurer by the United Parties hereunder or under the Transaction Documents and the
Class A Notes have been irrevocably paid and redeemed in full and such Class A Notes have been cancelled; provided, however, that the provisions of Sections 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 hereof shall survive any termination of this Insurance
Agreement. 
  
 Section 4.2 Further Assurances and Corrective
Instruments. (a) Unless an Insurer Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or except as the Indenture otherwise provides, none of the Indenture Trustee and none of the other Transaction Parties shall grant any waiver of rights under any
of the Transaction Documents to which any of them is a party without the prior written consent of the Insurer and any such waiver without prior written consent of the Insurer shall be null and void and of no force or effect. 
  
 (b) Each of the parties hereto agrees that it will, from time to time,
execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered, such supplements hereto and such further instruments and agreements and take such further actions as the Insurer may reasonably request and as may be required in
the Insurer’s reasonable judgment to effectuate the intent and purpose of this Insurance Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent such authorization shall be required by law, each United Party
hereby authorizes the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer, at the expense of the Issuer, in the event the Issuer has failed to do so upon request (provided that no such request shall be required if there exists any Insolvency Proceeding), to
execute and file financing statements covering the assets covered by any purchase or transfer pursuant to the Transaction Documents or owned by the Issuer in such jurisdictions as may be required to confirm title thereto and perfect and maintain the
lien thereon. In addition, each of the parties hereto agrees to cooperate with the Rating Agencies in connection with any review of the Transaction conducted during normal business hours and in a manner that does not unreasonably disrupt the
business of the Transaction Parties, that may be undertaken by the Rating Agencies after the date hereof upon prior written notice. 
  
 (c) None of the Transaction Parties shall cause or permit the Issuer to issue any notes or other evidences of indebtedness, or to otherwise incur any
indebtedness, other than the

 (d) Each Transaction Party shall concurrently provide the Insurer, as and
when delivery thereof is required to be made pursuant to the Transaction Documents, with copies of all reports, notices, requests and demands delivered or required to be delivered by it pursuant to the Transaction Documents. 
  
 Section 4.3 Obligations Absolute. (a) The obligations of the
Transaction Parties hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional and shall be paid or performed strictly in accordance with this Insurance Agreement and the other Transaction Documents under all circumstances irrespective of: 
  
 (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of, or any
amendment or other modifications of, or waiver with respect to, any of the Transaction Documents or the Class A Notes; 
  
 (ii) any exchange or release of any other obligations hereunder;

Party which is a party to any of the Transaction Documents may have at any time against the Insurer or any other Person; 
  
 (iv) any document presented in connection with the Ambac Policy proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect
or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; 
  
 (v) any payment by the Insurer under the Ambac Policy against presentation of a certificate or other document that does not strictly comply with the terms of the Ambac Policy; 
  
 (vi) any failure of the Transaction Parties to receive the
proceeds from the sale of the Class A Notes; 
  
 (vii) any Insolvency Event with respect to any Transaction Party; and 
  
 (viii) any other circumstances, other than payment in full, that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or discharge of, such
party in respect of any Transaction Document. 
  
 (b) The
Transaction Parties and any and all others who are now or may become liable for all or any part of the obligations of the Transaction Parties under this Insurance Agreement agree to be bound by this Insurance Agreement and (i) to the extent
permitted by law, waive and renounce any and all redemption and exemption rights and the benefit of all valuation and appraisement privileges against the indebtedness and obligations evidenced by any Transaction Document or by any extension or
renewal thereof; (ii) waive presentment and demand for payment, notices of nonpayment and of dishonor, protest of dishonor and notice of protest; (iii) waive all notices in connection with the delivery and acceptance hereof and all other 

  

 25 







 
notices in connection with the performance, default or enforcement of any payment hereunder, except as required by the Transaction Documents; (iv) waive all
rights of abatement, diminution, postponement or deduction, all defenses, other than payment, and all rights of setoff or recoupment arising out of any breach under any of the Transaction Documents, by any party thereto or any beneficiary thereof,
or out of any obligation at any time owing to any of the Transaction Parties; (v) agree that their liabilities hereunder shall be unconditional and without regard to any setoff, counterclaim or the liability of any other Persons for the payment
hereof; (vi) agree that any consent, waiver or forbearance hereunder with respect to an event shall operate only for such event and not for any subsequent event; (vii) consent to any and all extensions of time that may be granted by the Insurer with
respect to any payment hereunder or other provisions hereof and to the release of any security at any time given for any payment hereunder, or any part thereof, with or without substitution, and to the release of any Person or entity liable for any
such payment; and (viii) consent to the addition of any and all other makers, endorsers, guarantors and other obligors for any payment hereunder, and to the acceptance of any and all other security for any payment hereunder, and agree that the
addition of any such obligors or security shall not affect the liability of the parties hereto for any payment hereunder. 
  
 (c) Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting any party hereto from pursuing any rights or remedies it may have against any Person in a separate
legal proceeding. 
  
 Section 4.4 Assignments; Reinsurance;
Third-Party Rights. (a) This Insurance Agreement shall be a continuing obligation of the parties hereto and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. None of the
Transaction Parties may assign its rights under this Insurance Agreement, or delegate any of its duties hereunder, without the prior written consent of the Insurer. Any assignments made in violation of this Insurance Agreement shall be null and
void. 
  
 (b) The Insurer shall have the right to give
participations in its rights under this Insurance Agreement and to enter into contracts of reinsurance with respect to the Ambac Policy upon such terms and conditions as the Insurer may in its discretion determine; provided, however,
that no such participation or reinsurance agreement or arrangement shall relieve the Insurer of any of its obligations hereunder or under the Ambac Policy, and provided, further, that any reinsurer or participant will not have any
rights against the Transaction Parties or the Holders and that none of the Transaction Parties or the Holders shall have any obligation to have any communication or relationship with any reinsurer or participant in order to enforce the obligations
of the Insurer hereunder and under the Ambac Policy. 
  
 (c) The
Insurer shall be entitled to assign or pledge to any bank, other lender or reinsurer providing liquidity or credit with respect to the Transaction or the obligations of the Insurer in connection therewith, any rights of the Insurer under the
Transaction Documents or with respect to any real or personal property or other interests pledged to the Insurer or in which the Insurer has a security interest, in connection with the Transaction, subject in each case to the liens granted pursuant
to the Transaction Documents; provided that no such bank or other lender shall thereby obtain any direct right against Transaction Parties or the Holders, and further, provided; that no such assignment or pledge shall give any
assignee the right to exercise any discretionary authority that the Transaction Documents provide shall be exercisable by the Insurer or relieve the Insurer of any of its obligations hereunder or under the Ambac Policy. 
  

 26 







 (d) Except as provided herein with respect to participants and reinsurers, nothing in this Insurance
Agreement shall confer any right, remedy or claim, express or implied, upon any Person not a party hereto, including any Holders, other than the rights of the Insurer against the Transaction Parties and all the terms, covenants, conditions, promises
and agreements contained herein shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns. Neither the Indenture Trustee nor any Holders shall have any right to payment from any Premiums paid or
payable hereunder or under the Indenture or from any amounts paid by the Issuer or UACC pursuant to Sections 3.2, 3.3 or 3.4 hereof. 
  
 Section 4.5 Liability of the Insurer. Neither the Insurer nor any of its officers, directors or employees shall be liable or responsible for: (a)
the use that may be made of the Ambac Policy by the Indenture Trustee or any other party or for any acts or omissions of the Indenture Trustee or any other party in connection therewith; or (b) the validity, sufficiency, accuracy or genuineness of
documents delivered to the Insurer in connection with any claim under the Ambac Policy, or of any signatures thereon, even if such documents or signatures should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged
(unless the Insurer shall have actual knowledge thereof). In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Insurer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation. 

 
 Section 4.6 Rights and Remedies. Each party (other than the
Indenture Trustee) to this Insurance Agreement has acknowledged and agreed to and hereby confirms its acknowledgement and agreement to, and the Indenture Trustee has acknowledged and hereby confirms its acknowledgement of, the collateral sale and
assignment by UACC to the Transferor, by the Transferor to the Seller, by the Seller to the Issuer, and each party to this Insurance Agreement has acknowledged and agreed to and hereby confirms its acknowledgement and agreement to the pledge by the
Issuer to the Indenture Trustee, of all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Trust Estate, and the Transaction Documents and all of the Issuer’s rights, remedies, powers and privileges and all claims of the Issuer, the Seller
or the Transferor, as the case may be, against UACC, of the Issuer or the Seller, as the case may be, against the Transferor and of the Issuer against the Seller, under or with respect to the Transaction Documents (whether arising pursuant to the
terms thereof or otherwise available at law or in equity), including without limitation (whether or not any of a Default or Event of Default under the Indenture, an Event of Default hereunder, a Servicer Termination Event or a Trigger Event has
occurred and is continuing) (i) the right of the Issuer at any time to enforce the Transaction Documents against the Servicer, the Transferor, the Seller or UACC and the obligations of the Servicer, the Seller, the Transferor and UACC thereunder and
(ii) the right at any time to give or withhold any and all consents, requests, notices, directions, approvals, demands, extensions or waivers under or with respect to any Transaction Document or the obligations in respect of the Issuer, the
Servicer, the Transferor, the Seller or UACC thereunder, all of which rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims may, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary by any of the Transaction Documents, be exercised and/or enforced by the
Indenture Trustee in lieu of and in the place and stead of the Transferor and the Issuer to the same extent as the Transferor or the Issuer would otherwise do, and except to the extent a Transaction Document provides that the Insurer shall not have
such a right upon an Insurer Default that has occurred and is continuing, neither the Transferor nor the Issuer may exercise any of the foregoing rights without the prior written consent of the Insurer. Each party hereto further acknowledges and
agrees that, unless an 

  

 27 







 
Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee will take or refrain from taking any action, and exercise or refrain from exercising
any rights under the Transaction Documents in its capacity as Indenture Trustee pursuant to the written direction of the Insurer; provided, however, that the obligations of the Indenture Trustee to take or refrain from taking, or to
exercise or refrain from exercising, any such action or rights shall not apply to routine administrative tasks required to be performed by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Transaction Documents and shall be limited to those actions and rights
that can be exercised or taken (or not exercised or taken, as the case may be) in full compliance with the provisions of the Transaction Documents and with applicable law.

capacity or as Controlling Party. 
  
 (b) Unless otherwise
expressly provided, no remedy herein conferred or reserved is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy, but each remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to other remedies given under this Insurance Agreement or any other
Transaction Document, or existing at law or in equity. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing under this Insurance Agreement or any other Transaction Document upon the happening of any event set forth in Section 5.1 shall
impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to entitle the Insurer to exercise any remedy reserved to
the Insurer in this Article, it shall not be necessary to give any notice, other than such notice as may be required by this Article. 
  
 (c) Each party to this Insurance Agreement hereby agrees that, in addition to any other rights or remedies existing in its favor, it shall be entitled to

provided by law or equity. 
  
 (b) The Insurer shall have the
right, to be exercised in its complete discretion, to waive any Event of Default hereunder, by a writing setting forth the terms, conditions and extent of such waiver signed by the Insurer and delivered to UACC and the Indenture Trustee. Unless such
