ARTICLE

Conveyance of Receivables


 


Section 2.01         Conveyance
of Receivables.


 


(a)          
In consideration of the Depositor’s delivery to the Seller on the Closing Date of an amount equal to the estimated fair market
value of the Purchased Assets, which amount shall be paid in the form of (i) cash, less the par value of the Retained Notes, if
any, to be issued to the Seller on the Closing Date, and (ii) a capital contribution initially made by the Seller to the Depositor
(collectively, the “Purchase Price”), the Seller does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise
convey to the Depositor without recourse (subject to the obligations of the Seller herein) all right, title, and interest of the
Seller in and to:


 


(i)          the
Receivables and all moneys identified thereon on or after the Cutoff Date;


 


(ii)         the
security interests in the Financed Vehicles and any accessions thereto granted by Obligors pursuant to the Receivables and any
other interest of the Seller in such Financed Vehicles;


 


(iii)        any
Liquidation Proceeds and any other proceeds from claims on any physical damage, credit life or disability insurance policies covering
Financed Vehicles or Obligors, including any vendor’s single interest or other collateral protection insurance policy;


 


(iv)        any
property that shall have secured any Receivable and that shall have been acquired by or on behalf of the Seller;


 




    	 	2	(2018-A Receivables Purchase Agreement)




     


    

 


(v)         all
documents and other items contained in the Receivable Files;


 


(vi)        all
proceeds from any Receivable repurchased by a Dealer pursuant to a Dealer Agreement; and


 


(vii)       the
proceeds of any and all of the foregoing (collectively, with the assets listed in clauses (i) through (vi) above, the “Purchased
Assets”).


 


The Depositor shall make payment in respect
of the Purchase Price upon demand by the Seller. The Depositor shall deposit an amount equal to the Reserve Account Deposit into
the Reserve Account on the Closing Date, which account shall be an asset of the Issuer and pledged to the Indenture Trustee pursuant
to the Indenture.


 


(b)          The
Seller and the Depositor intend that the transfer of the Purchased Assets by the Seller to the Depositor pursuant to this Agreement
be a sale of the ownership interest in such assets to the Depositor, rather than the mere granting of a security interest to secure
a borrowing. In the event, however, that such transfer is deemed not to be a sale but to be of a mere security interest to secure
a borrowing or such transfer is otherwise not effective to sell the Receivables and other property described in Section 2.01(a)
hereof, the Seller shall be deemed to have hereby granted to the Depositor a perfected first priority security interest in all
such assets, and this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. Pursuant to the Sale and Servicing
Agreement and Section 7.04 hereof, the Depositor may sell, transfer and assign to the Issuer (i) all or any portion
of the assets assigned to the Depositor hereunder, (ii) all or any portion of the Depositor’s rights against the Seller under
this Agreement and (iii) all proceeds thereof. Such assignment may be made by the Depositor with or without an assignment by the
Depositor of its rights under this Agreement, and without further notice to or acknowledgement from the Seller. The Seller waives,
to the extent permitted under applicable law, all claims, causes of action and remedies, whether legal or equitable (including
any right of setoff), against the Depositor or any assignee of the Depositor relating to such action by the Depositor in connection
with the transactions contemplated by the Sale and Servicing Agreement.


 


Section 2.02         The
Closing. The sale and purchase of the Receivables shall take place at a closing at the offices of Mayer Brown LLP, 71 South
Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606, on the Closing Date, simultaneously with the closing under (a) the Sale and Servicing Agreement,
(b) the Indenture and (c) the Trust Agreement.

III.

Depositor is a party or by which it is bound. There shall be no breach of the representations and warranties in this paragraph

and Authority. The Seller has the power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to
which it is a party and to carry out their respective terms; the Seller had at all relevant times, and has, full power, authority

Violation. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which the Seller
is a party and the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and other Basic Documents to which it is a party do not

or both) a default under, the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Seller, or any indenture, agreement or other instrument
to which the Seller 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 or other instrument (other than this Agreement and the other Basic Documents),
or violate any law or, to the Seller’s knowledge, any order, rule or regulation applicable to the Seller of any court or
of any federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the
Seller or its properties. There shall be no breach of the representations and warranties in this paragraph resulting from any of
the foregoing breaches, violations, Liens or other matters which, individually or in the aggregate, would not materially and adversely
affect the Seller’s ability to perform its obligations under the Basic Documents or the consummation of the transactions
as contemplated by the Basic Documents.


 


(v)         No
Proceedings. There are no proceedings or investigations pending or, to the Seller’s knowledge, threatened in writing
against the Seller before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction

performance by the Seller of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement or any other Basic Document
to which the Seller is a party.


 


(vi)        Valid
Sale, Binding Obligation. The Basic Documents constitute a valid sale, transfer and assignment to the Depositor of all right,
title and interest of the Seller in the Receivables and the proceeds thereof. The Receivables will not be considered part of the
Seller’s estate in the event of a bankruptcy of the Seller. This Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which the Seller
is a party, when duly executed and delivered by the other parties hereto and thereto, shall constitute legal, valid and binding
obligations of the Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with their respective terms, except as the enforceability
thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting
creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity (whether applied in a proceeding at law or in equity).


 


(vii)       No
Consents. The Seller is not required to obtain the consent of any other party or any consent, license, approval, registration,
authorization, or declaration of or with any governmental authority, bureau or agency in connection with the execution, delivery,
performance, validity, or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Basic Document to which it is a party that has not already
been obtained, other than (A) UCC filings and (B) consents, licenses, approvals, registrations, authorizations or declarations
which, if not obtained or made, would not have a material adverse effect on the enforceability or collectibility of the Receivables
or would not materially and adversely affect the ability of the Depositor to perform its obligations under the Basic Documents.

UCC) in the Purchased Assets in favor of the Depositor, which is prior to all other Liens, other than Permitted Liens and any Lien

by the Depositor to the Issuer pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the pledge of the Receivables by the Issuer to
the Indenture Trustee pursuant to 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 Receivable.


 


(i)          The
Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Depositor will transfer to the Issuer the
Depositor’s rights under this Agreement, including the representations and warranties of the Seller as set forth on Exhibit

under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, including the right to cause the Seller to repurchase any Receivable with respect to which
it is in breach of any of its representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit A, directly against the Seller as though

the Purchaser.

of Right, Title and Interest.


 


(a)          Filings.
The Seller shall cause, at its own expense, all financing statements and continuation statements and any other necessary documents

the right, title and interest of the Seller, the Depositor, the Trust and the Indenture Trustee, respectively, in and to the Receivables
and the other property included in the Trust Estate to be promptly filed and at all times to be kept recorded, registered and filed,

Change. If the Seller makes any change in its name, identity or corporate structure that would make any financing statement

assign or transfer to any Person, or grant, create, incur, assume, or suffer to exist any Lien on, or any interest in, to or under
the Receivables, and the Seller shall defend the right, title and interest of the Depositor, the Trust and the Indenture Trustee
in, to and under the Receivables against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Seller.

of the Obligor to pay a Receivable and for which reimbursement would constitute recourse to the Seller for uncollectible Receivables

agents and employees.

Section 7.02         Repurchase
Events. The Seller hereby covenants and agrees that if the Seller discovers or is notified by a Requesting Party with a Repurchase
Request regarding a breach of any of the Seller’s representations and warranties contained in Section 3.02(b) at the
time such representations and warranties were made, the Seller will investigate the Receivable to confirm the breach and determine
if the breach materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer or the Noteholders and triggers a repurchase event (“Repurchase
Event”). Upon discovery by any party hereto of a Repurchase Event, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt
written notice thereof to the other parties hereto; provided, that delivery of a Servicer’s Certificate shall be deemed
to constitute prompt written notice thereof to the other party; provided, further, that the failure to give such
notice shall not affect any obligation of the Seller under this Section 7.02. Following a Repurchase Event, the Seller shall
either (a) correct or cure such breach or (b) purchase any Receivable materially and adversely affected by such breach from the
Issuer, in either case on or before the Payment Date following the end of the Collection Period which includes the 60th
day (or, if the Seller elects, an earlier Payment Date) after the date that the Seller became aware of or was notified and confirmed
such breach. Any such breach or failure will be deemed not to materially and adversely affect the Noteholders or the Issuer if
such breach or failure does not affect the ability of the Issuer or the Noteholders to receive and retain timely payment in full
on such Receivable. Any such purchase by the Seller shall be at a price equal to the Purchased Amount. In consideration for such
repurchase, the Seller shall make (or shall cause to be made) a payment to the Issuer equal to the Purchased Amount by depositing
such amount into the Collection Account on the Business Day preceding the Payment Date of repurchase (or, if the Seller elects,
an earlier Payment Date). Upon payment of such Purchased Amount by the Seller, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall release
and shall execute and deliver such instruments of release, transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse or representation,
as shall be reasonably necessary to vest in the Seller or its designee any Receivable repurchased pursuant hereto. It is understood
and agreed that the right to cause the Seller to purchase any Receivable as described above shall constitute the sole remedy respecting
such breach available to the Issuer, the Noteholders, the Owner Trustee, the Certificateholders and the Indenture Trustee. Neither
the Owner Trustee nor the Indenture Trustee will have any duty to conduct an affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of
any condition requiring the repurchase of any Receivable pursuant to this Section 7.02.


 


Section 7.03         Depositor
Assignment of Repurchased Receivables. With respect to all Receivables repurchased by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement,
the Depositor shall assign, without recourse, representation or warranty, to the Seller all of the Depositor’s right, title
and interest in and to such Receivables and all security and documents relating thereto.


 


Section 7.04         Transfer
to the Issuer. The Seller acknowledges and agrees that (1) the Depositor will, pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement,
transfer and assign the Receivables and assign its rights under this Agreement with respect thereto to the Issuer and, pursuant
to the Indenture, the Issuer will pledge the Receivables to the Indenture Trustee, and (2) the representations and warranties
contained in this Agreement and the rights of the Depositor under this Agreement, including under Section 7.02, are intended
to benefit the Issuer, the Noteholders and the Certificateholder. The Seller hereby consents to such transfers and assignments
and agrees that enforcement of a right or remedy hereunder by the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or the Issuer shall have
the same force and effect as if the right or remedy had been enforced or executed by the Depositor.


 


Section 7.05         Amendment.


 


(a)          This
Agreement may be amended from time to time, with prior written notice to the Rating Agencies but without the consent of the Noteholders

changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders
or the Certificateholder; provided, however, that no such amendment may (i) reduce the interest rate or principal
amount of any Note or the percentage interest of any Certificate or delay the Stated Maturity Date of any Note without the consent

Section 7.17         Dispute
Resolution.


 


(a)          If
a Requesting Party submits a Repurchase Request to the Seller pursuant to Section 7.02 of this Agreement and the Repurchase
Request has not been fulfilled or otherwise resolved to the reasonable satisfaction of the Requesting Party within 180 days of
the receipt of notice of the request by the Seller, the Requesting Party will have the right to refer the matter, at its discretion,
to either mediation (including non-binding arbitration) or binding arbitration pursuant to this Section 7.17. Dispute
resolution to resolve any repurchase request will be available regardless of whether the Noteholders vote to direct an Asset Representations
Review.


 


(b)          The
Requesting Party will provide notice in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.07 of its intention to refer the
matter to mediation (including non-binding arbitration) or binding arbitration, as applicable, to the Seller, with a copy to the
Issuer, the Depositor, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee. The Seller agrees that it will participate in the resolution
method selected by the Requesting Party. Any settlement agreement reached in a mediation and any decision by an arbitrator in a
binding arbitration shall be binding upon the Requesting Party, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee with respect
to the Receivable that is the subject matter of the Repurchase Request, and, in that situation, issues relating to that Receivable
may not be re-litigated by the Requesting Party or the Seller or become the subject of a subsequent Repurchase Request by the Requesting
Party in mediation (including non-binding arbitration), arbitration, court, or otherwise.


 


(c)          If
the Requesting Party selects mediation as the resolution method, the following provisions will apply:


 


(i)          The
mediation will be administered by a nationally recognized arbitration and mediation association selected by the Requesting Party
pursuant to such association’s mediation procedures in effect at such time.


 


(ii)         The
fees and expenses of the mediation will be allocated as mutually agreed by the Requesting Party and the Seller as part of the mediation.


 


(iii)        The
mediator will be impartial, knowledgeable about and experienced with the laws of the State of New York that are relevant to the
repurchase dispute and will be appointed from a list of neutrals maintained by the AAA.


 


(d)          If
the Requesting Party selects arbitration as the resolution method, the following provisions will apply:


 


(i)          The
arbitration will be administered by a nationally recognized arbitration and mediation association jointly selected by the Requesting
Party and the Seller, and if the Requesting Party and the Seller are unable to agree on an association, by the AAA, and conducted
pursuant to such association’s arbitration procedures in effect at such time.


 


(ii)         The
arbitrator will be impartial, knowledgeable about and experienced with the laws of the State of New York that are relevant to the
dispute hereunder and will be appointed from a list of neutrals maintained by AAA.


 




    	 	13	(2018-A Receivables Purchase Agreement)




     


    

 


(iii)        The
arbitrator will make its final determination no later than 90 days after appointment or as soon as practicable thereafter. The
arbitrator will resolve the dispute in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and may not modify or change this Agreement
in any way. The arbitrator will not have the power to award punitive damages or consequential damages in any arbitration conducted
by it, and the Requesting Party shall not be required to pay more than the applicable Purchased Amount with respect to any receivable
which such Requesting Party is required to repurchase under the terms of this Agreement. In its final determination, the arbitrator
will determine and award the costs of the arbitration (including the fees of the arbitrator, cost of any record or transcript of
the arbitration, and administrative fees) and reasonable attorneys’ fees to the Requesting Party and the Seller as determined
by the arbitrator in its reasonable discretion. The determination of the arbitrator will be in writing and counterpart copies will
be promptly delivered to the Requesting Party and the Seller. For binding arbitration, the determination of the arbitrator will
be final and non-appealable (absent manifest error), except for actions to confirm or vacate the determination permitted under
federal or state law, and may be entered and enforced in any court with jurisdiction over the Requesting Party and the Seller and
the matter.


 


(iv)        By
selecting binding arbitration, the Requesting Party waives the right to sue in court, including the right to a trial by jury.


 


(e)          The
following provisions will apply to both mediations (including non-binding arbitrations) and arbitrations:


 


(i)          Any
mediation or arbitration will be held in New York, New York or such other location mutually agreed to by the Requesting Party and
the Seller;


 


(ii)         Notwithstanding
this dispute resolution provision, the Requesting Party and the Seller will have the right to seek provisional relief from a competent
court of law, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or attachment order, provided such relief would otherwise
be available by law;


 


Other than as publicly available with the Commission or otherwise
publicly disclosed, the details and/or existence of any unfulfilled Repurchase Request, any meetings or discussions regarding any
unfulfilled Repurchase Request, mediations or arbitration proceedings conducted under this Section 7.17, including
all offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the Requesting Party and the Seller’s
attempt to resolve an unfulfilled Repurchase Request, any information exchanged in connection with any mediation, and any discovery
taken in connection with any arbitration (collectively, “Confidential Information”), shall be and remain confidential
and inadmissible (except as permitted in accordance with applicable law) for any purpose, including impeachment, in any mediation,
arbitration or litigation, or other proceeding (including any proceeding under this Section 7.17) other than as required
to be disclosed in accordance with applicable law, regulatory requirements, or court order or to the extent that the Requesting
Party, in its sole discretion, elects to disclose such information. Such information will be kept strictly confidential and will
not be disclosed or discussed with any third party, and except that a party may disclose such information to its own attorneys,
experts, accountants and other agents and representatives (collectively “Representatives”), as reasonably required
in connection with any resolution procedure under this Section 7.17), if the disclosing party (a) directs such Representatives
to keep the information confidential, (b) is responsible for any disclosure by its Representatives of such information and (c)
takes at its sole expense all reasonable measures to restrain such Representatives from disclosing such information. If any party
receives a subpoena or other request for information from a third party (other than a governmental regulatory body) for Confidential
Information, the recipient will promptly notify the other party and will provide the other party with the opportunity to object
to the production of its Confidential Information or seek other appropriate protective remedies, consistent with the applicable
requirements of law and regulation. If, in the absence of a protective order, such party or any of its representatives are compelled
as a matter of law, regulation, legal process or by regulatory authority to disclose any portion of the Confidential Information,
such party may disclose to the party compelling disclosure only the part of such Confidential Information that is required to be
disclosed.
