          SALE AND
SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of September 19, 2012 (together with
all exhibits, schedules and appendices hereto and as from time to time amended,
supplemented or otherwise modified and in effect, this “Agreement”), by
and among USAA
AUTO OWNER TRUST 2012-1 (the “Issuer”), a Delaware statutory
trust, USAA
ACCEPTANCE, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as seller
(the “Seller”), USAA FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK, a federally
chartered savings association (the “Bank”), as servicer (in such
capacity, the “Servicer”) and as custodian, and THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON,
a banking corporation organized under the laws of the State of New York, as
indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”).

          WHEREAS,
the Issuer desires to purchase from the Seller a portfolio of motor vehicle
receivables, including retail motor vehicle installment loans that are secured
by new and used automobiles and light-duty trucks;

          WHEREAS,
the Seller is willing to sell such portfolio of motor vehicle receivables and
related property to the Issuer; and

          WHEREAS,
the Bank is willing to service such motor vehicle receivables and related
property on behalf of the Issuer;

          NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein
contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to
be legally bound, agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS AND USAGE

          SECTION
1.1 Definitions. Except as otherwise
specified herein or as the context may otherwise require, capitalized terms
used but not otherwise defined herein are defined in Appendix
A hereto.

          SECTION
1.2 Other Interpretive Provisions. For
purposes of this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires: (a)
accounting terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement, and accounting terms
partly defined in this Agreement to the extent not defined, shall have the
respective meanings given to them under GAAP (provided, that, to the
extent that the definitions in this Agreement and GAAP conflict, the
definitions in this Agreement shall control); (b) terms defined in Article 9 of
the UCC as in effect in the relevant jurisdiction and not otherwise defined in
this Agreement are used as defined in that Article; (c) the words “hereof,” “herein”
and “hereunder” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole
and not to any particular provision of this Agreement; (d) references to any
Article, Section, Schedule, Appendix or Exhibit are references to Articles,
Sections, Schedules, Appendices and Exhibits in or to this Agreement and
references to any paragraph, subsection, clause or other subdivision within any
Section or definition refer to such paragraph, subsection, clause or other
subdivision of such Section or definition; (e) the term “including” and all
variations thereof means “including without limitation”; (f) except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, references to any law or regulation refer
to that law or regulation as amended from time to time and include any successor

law or

assigns; and (h) unless the context otherwise requires, defined terms shall be
equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms.

ARTICLE II

CONVEYANCE OF TRANSFERRED ASSETS

          SECTION
2.1 Conveyance of Transferred Assets. In consideration of the Issuer’s
sale and delivery to, or upon the order of, the Seller of all of the Notes and
the Certificate on the Closing Date, the Seller does hereby irrevocably sell,
transfer, assign and otherwise convey to the Issuer without recourse (subject
to the obligations herein) all right, title and interest of the Seller, whether
now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the Transferred Assets, described in
the assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit A (the “Assignment”)
delivered on the Closing Date. The sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance
made hereunder will not constitute and is not intended to result in an
assumption by the Issuer of any obligation of the Seller or the Originator to
the Obligors or any other Person in connection with the Receivables or the
other assets and properties conveyed hereunder or any agreement, document or
instrument related thereto.

          SECTION
2.2 Representations and Warranties of the Seller as to each Receivable.
The Seller hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth on Schedule
I as to the Receivables sold, transferred, assigned, and otherwise conveyed
to the Issuer under this Agreement on which such representations and warranties
the Issuer relies in acquiring the Receivables. The representations and
warranties as to each Receivable shall survive the Grant of the Receivables by
the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. Notwithstanding
any statement to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction
Document, the Seller shall not be required to notify any insurer with respect
to any Insurance Policy obtained by an Obligor.

          SECTION
2.3 Repurchase upon Breach. Upon discovery by any party hereto of a
breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.2
at the time such representations and warranties were made which materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Issuer or the Noteholders, the party
discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other
parties hereto; provided, that delivery of the Servicer’s
Certificate which identifies that Receivables are being or have been
repurchased shall be deemed to constitute prompt notice by the Servicer (if the
Bank is the Servicer) of such breach; provided, further, that the failure to give
such notice shall not affect any obligation of the Seller hereunder. If the
Seller does not correct or cure such breach prior to the end of the Collection
Period which includes the 60th day (or, if the Seller elects, an earlier date)
after the date that the Seller became aware or was notified of such breach,
then the Seller shall purchase any Receivable materially and adversely affected
by such breach from the Issuer on the Payment Date following the end of such
Collection Period (or, if the Seller elects, an earlier date). Any such breach
or failure will be deemed to not have a material and adverse effect if such
breach or failure does not affect the ability of the Issuer to collect, receive
and retain timely payment in full on such Receivable, including Liquidation
Proceeds. Any such purchase by the Seller shall be at a price equal to the
Repurchase Price. In consideration for such repurchase, the Seller shall make
(or shall cause to

 Sale and Servicing Agreement

(USAA 2012-1) 

 

be made) a
payment to the Issuer equal to the Repurchase Price by depositing such amount
into the Collection Account prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time on such
Payment Date, or earlier date, if elected by the Seller. Upon payment of such
Repurchase Price 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 requested of it 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 repurchase (or to enforce the obligations of the Bank under
the Purchase Agreement to repurchase) any Receivable as described above shall
constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the Issuer 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
2.3. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Seller shall only
be obligated to pay such Repurchase Price and repurchase the related Receivable
to the extent it receives the Repurchase Price from the Bank pursuant to Section
3.3 of the Purchase Agreement.

          SECTION
2.4 Custody of Receivable Files.

          (a)
Custody. To assure uniform quality in servicing the Receivables and to
reduce administrative costs, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, upon the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, hereby revocably appoint the
Servicer, and the Servicer hereby accepts such appointment, to act solely on
behalf of and for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee as custodian of the
following documents or instruments, but only to the extent held in tangible
paper form or electronic form, which are hereby or will hereby be constructively
delivered to the Indenture Trustee (or its agent or designee), as pledgee of
the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture with respect to each Receivable (but only
to the extent applicable to such Receivable and only to the extent held in
tangible paper form) (the “Receivable Files”):

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (i)

 	
 the fully
 executed original of the retail motor vehicle installment loan or promissory
 note and security agreement related to such Receivable (with respect to
 tangible chattel paper) or an “authoritative copy” (as such term is used in
 Section 9-105 of the UCC) of the Receivable (with respect to electronic
 chattel paper) or, if no such original executed Receivable or authoritative
 copy exists, a copy thereof, including any written amendments or extensions
 thereto;

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (ii)

 	
 the original
 credit application or a photocopy thereof to the extent held in paper form;

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (iii)

 	
 the original
 Certificate of Title or, if not yet received, evidence that an application
 therefor has been submitted with the appropriate authority or such other
 document (electronic or otherwise, as used in the applicable jurisdiction)
 that the Servicer keeps on file, in accordance with its Customary Servicing
 Practices, evidencing the security interest of the Originator in the Financed
 Vehicle; provided, however, that in lieu of being held in the Receivable
 File, the Certificate of Title may be held by a

 Sale and Servicing Agreement

(USAA 2012-1) 

 
					

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 third party
 service provider engaged by the Servicer to obtain or hold Certificates of
 Title; and

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (iv)

 	
 any and all
 other documents that the Servicer or the Seller keeps on file, in accordance
 with its Customary Servicing Practices, relating to a Receivable, an Obligor
 or a Financed Vehicle (but only to the extent applicable to such Receivable
 and only to the extent held in tangible paper form or electronic form).

 

The foregoing
appointment of the Servicer is deemed to be made with due care.

          (b)
Safekeeping. The Servicer, in its capacity as custodian, shall hold the
Receivable Files for the benefit of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, as
pledgee of the Issuer. In performing its duties as custodian, the Servicer
shall act in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices. The Servicer,
in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices: (i) may maintain all or a
portion of the Receivable Files in electronic form and (ii) may maintain
custody of all or any portion of the Receivable Files with one or more of its
agents or designees.

          (c)
Maintenance of and Access to Records. The Servicer will maintain each
Receivable File in the United States (it being understood that the Receivable
Files, or any part thereof, may be maintained at the offices of any Person to
whom the Servicer has delegated responsibilities in accordance with Section
6.5). The Servicer will make available to the Issuer and the Indenture
Trustee or their duly authorized representatives, attorneys or auditors a list
of locations of the Receivable Files upon request. The Servicer will provide
access to the Receivable Files, and the related accounts records, and computer
systems maintained by the Servicer at such times as the Issuer or the Indenture
Trustee direct, but only upon reasonable notice and during the normal business
hours, which do not unreasonably interfere with the Servicer’s normal
operations, at the respective offices of the Servicer.

          (d)
Release of Documents. Upon written instructions from the Indenture
Trustee, the Servicer will release or cause to be released any document in the
Receivable Files to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee’s agent or the
Indenture Trustee’s designee, as the case may be, at such place or places as
the Indenture Trustee may designate, as soon thereafter as is practicable, to
the extent it does not unreasonably interfere with the Servicer’s normal
operations. The Servicer shall not be responsible for any loss occasioned by
the failure of the Indenture Trustee or its agent or designee to return any
document or any delay in doing so. Any document so released will be handled by
the Indenture Trustee with due care and returned to the Servicer for
safekeeping as soon as the Indenture Trustee or its agent or designee, as the
case may be, has no further need therefor.

          (e)
Instructions; Authority to Act. All instructions from the Indenture
Trustee will be in writing and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Indenture
Trustee, and the Servicer will be deemed to have received proper instructions
with respect to the Receivable Files upon its receipt of such written
instructions. 

          (f)
Custodian’s Indemnification. Subject to Section
6.2, the Servicer as custodian will indemnify the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee and their respective directors, officers,

employees and
agents for any and all claims, liabilities, obligations, losses, compensatory
damages, payments, costs, or expenses of any kind whatsoever that may be
imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Issuer or the Indenture
Trustee as the result of any act or omission in any way relating to the
maintenance and custody by the Servicer as custodian of the Receivable Files; provided, however,
that the Servicer will not be liable (i) to the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer
for any portion of any such amount resulting from the willful misconduct, bad
faith or negligence of the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer or (ii) to the
Indenture Trustee for any portion of any such amount resulting from the failure
of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee’s agent or the Indenture
Trustee’s designee to handle with due care any Certificate of Title or other
document released to the Indenture Trustee or the Indenture Trustee’s agent or
designee pursuant to Section 2.4(d).

          (g)
Effective Period and Termination. The Servicer’s appointment as
custodian will become effective as of the Cut-Off Date and will continue in
full force and effect until terminated pursuant to this Section 2.4(g).
If the Bank resigns as Servicer in accordance with Section 6.6 or if all
of the rights and obligations of the Servicer have been terminated under Section
7.1, the appointment of the Servicer as custodian hereunder may be
terminated by the Indenture Trustee, or by the Noteholders evidencing not less
than 662⁄3% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, in the same
manner as the Indenture Trustee or such Noteholders may terminate the rights
and obligations of the Servicer under Section 7.1. As soon as
practicable after any termination of such appointment, the Servicer will
deliver to the Indenture Trustee (or, at the direction of the Indenture
Trustee, to its agent) the Receivable Files and the related accounts and
records maintained by the Servicer at such place or places as the Indenture
Trustee may reasonably designate; provided, however, that with respect to
authoritative copies of the Receivables constituting electronic chattel paper,
the Servicer, in its sole discretion, shall either (i) continue to hold any
such authoritative copies on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee or
the Indenture Trustee’s agent or (ii) deliver copies of such authoritative
copies and destroy the authoritative copies maintained by the Servicer prior to
its termination such that such copy delivered to the Indenture Trustee or the
Indenture Trustee’s agent becomes the authoritative copy of the Receivable
constituting electronic chattel paper.

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF

RECEIVABLES AND TRUST PROPERTY

          SECTION
3.1 Duties of Servicer. 

          (a)
The Servicer is hereby appointed by the Issuer and authorized to act as agent
for the Issuer and in such capacity shall manage, service, administer and make
collections on the Receivables in accordance with its Customary Servicing
Practices, using the degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises
with respect to all comparable motor vehicle receivables that it services for
itself or others. The Servicer’s duties will include collection and posting of
all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors on such Receivables,
investigating delinquencies, sending invoices or payment coupons to Obligors,
reporting any required tax information to Obligors, accounting for collections
and furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Indenture Trustee with
respect to distributions. The Servicer is not required under the 

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 5

 	
 Sale and Servicing Agreement

(USAA 2012-1) 

 

Transaction
Documents to make any disbursements via wire transfer or otherwise on behalf of
an Obligor. There are no requirements under the Receivables or the Transaction
Documents for funds to be, and funds shall not be, held in trust for an
Obligor. No payments or disbursements are required to be made by the Servicer
on behalf of the Obligor. The Servicer hereby accepts such appointment and
authorization and agrees to perform the duties of Servicer with respect to the
Receivables set forth herein.

          (b)
The Servicer will follow its Customary Servicing Practices and will have full
power and authority to do any and all things in connection with such managing,
servicing, administration and collection that it may deem necessary or
desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer is
hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself,
the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders, the
Certificateholder, or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or
cancellation, or partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable
instruments, with respect to such Receivables or to the Financed Vehicles
securing such Receivables. The Servicer is hereby authorized to commence, in
its own name or in the name of the Issuer, a legal Proceeding to enforce a
Receivable or an Insurance Policy or to commence or participate in any other
legal Proceeding (including a bankruptcy Proceeding) relating to or involving a
Receivable, an Obligor or a Financed Vehicle. If the Servicer commences a legal
Proceeding to enforce a Receivable or an Insurance Policy, the Issuer will
thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned such Receivable or its
rights under such Insurance Policy to the Servicer solely for purposes of
commencing or participating in any such Proceeding as a party or claimant, and
the Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Issuer to execute and deliver
in the Servicer’s name any notices, demands, claims, complaints, responses,
affidavits or other documents or instruments in connection with any such
Proceeding. If in any enforcement suit or legal Proceeding it is held that the
Servicer may not enforce a Receivable or an Insurance Policy on the ground that
it is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the
Receivable or an Insurance Policy, the Issuer will, at the Servicer’s expense and
direction, take steps to enforce the Receivable or an Insurance Policy,
including bringing suit in its name or the name of the Indenture Trustee. The
Issuer will furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other
documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry
out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder. The Servicer, at its
expense, will obtain on behalf of the Issuer all licenses, if any, reasonably
requested by the Seller to be held by the Issuer in connection with ownership
of the Receivables, and will make all filings and pay all fees as may be
required in connection therewith during the term hereof.

          (c)
The Servicer hereby agrees that upon its resignation and the appointment of a
successor Servicer hereunder, the Servicer will terminate its activities as
Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 7.1,
and, in any case, in a manner which the Issuer reasonably determines will
facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to such
successor Servicer, and the Servicer shall cooperate with and assist such
successor Servicer.

          SECTION
3.2 Collection of Receivable Payments.

          (a)
The Servicer will make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for
under the terms and provisions of the Receivables as and when the same become
due in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices. Subject to Section
3.5, the Servicer may grant

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 6

 	
 Sale and Servicing Agreement

(USAA 2012-1) 

 

extensions,
rebates, deferrals, amendments, modifications or adjustments with respect to
any Receivable in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices; provided, however,
that if the Servicer (i) extends the date for final payment by the Obligor of
any Receivable beyond the last day of the Collection Period preceding the
latest Final Scheduled Payment Date of any Notes issued under the Indenture or
(ii) reduces the Contract Rate or Outstanding Principal Balance with respect to
any Receivable other than as required by applicable law (including, without
limitation, by the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act of 2003, as amended) or
court order, it will promptly purchase such Receivable in the manner provided
in Section 3.6; provided, further, that the Servicer shall
not make any modification described in the preceding clause (i) or (ii) that
would trigger a repurchase pursuant to the above provisions or pursuant to Section
3.6, in either case for the sole purpose of enabling the Servicer to
purchase a Receivable from the Issuer and provided, further, that any change
referred to in this Section 3.2 shall only be made if either (a) the
Obligor is in default or, in the judgment of the Servicer, is reasonably
expected to default in the near future, or (b) the change is to the payment due
date of a Receivable, does not exceed 25 days and is made not more than twice
during the term of such Receivable.

          The
Servicer may in its discretion waive any late payment charge or any other fees
that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing a Receivable. Subject
to the provisos of the second sentence of the first paragraph of this Section 3.2,
the Servicer and its Affiliates may engage in any marketing practice or
promotion or any sale of any products, goods or services to Obligors with respect
to the Receivables for the account of the Servicer and/or its Affiliates (but
not the Issuer) so long as such practices, promotions or sales are offered to
obligors of comparable motor vehicle receivables serviced by the Servicer for
itself and others, whether or not such practices, promotions or sales might
indirectly result in a decrease in the aggregate amount of payments made (but
not any related contractual obligation) on the Receivables, prepayments or
faster or slower timing of the payment of the Receivables. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer may refinance any
Receivable by (a) making a new loan to the Obligor and depositing the full
Outstanding Principal Balance of such refinanced Receivable into the Collection
Account or (b) by causing the Issuer to effect a substantive modification to
the Receivable when the request for such modification is the result of a
contact from or request of the related Obligor, in which case the Receivable
shall be deemed to be refinanced and the Servicer shall promptly deposit the
full Outstanding Principal Balance of such refinanced Receivable into the
Collection Account as soon as practical. The receivable created by such
refinancing shall not be property of the Issuer, in the case of (b) in the
prior sentence, upon the Servicer’s related payment to Issuer. The Servicer and
its Affiliates may also sell insurance or debt cancellation products, including
products which result in the repayment of some or all of the amount of a Receivable
owned by the Issuer upon the death or disability of the Obligor or any casualty
with respect to the Financed Vehicle.

          (b)
The Servicer shall not be required to make any advances of funds or guarantees
regarding collections, cash flows or distributions. Payments on the
Receivables, including payoffs, made in accordance with the related
documentation for such Receivables, shall be posted to the Servicer’s Obligor
records in accordance with the Servicer’s Customary Servicing Practices. Such payments
shall be allocated to principal, interest or other items in accordance with the
related documentation for such Receivables.

 Sale and Servicing Agreement

(USAA 2012-1) 

 

          (c)
Records documenting collection efforts shall be maintained during the period a
Receivable is delinquent in accordance with the Servicer’s Customary Servicing
Practices. Such records shall be maintained on at least a periodic basis that
is not less frequent than as prescribed by the Servicer’s Customary Servicing
Practices, and describe the entity’s activities in monitoring delinquent pool
assets including, for example, phone calls, letters and payment rescheduling
plans in cases where delinquency is deemed temporary (e.g., illness or
unemployment) in accordance with the Servicer’s Customary Servicing Practices.

          SECTION
3.3 Realization Upon Receivables. On behalf of the Issuer, the Servicer
will use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its Customary
Servicing Practices, to repossess or otherwise convert the ownership of the
Financed Vehicle securing any Receivable as to which the Servicer has
determined eventual payment in full is unlikely unless it determines in its
sole discretion that repossession will not increase the Liquidation Proceeds by
an amount greater than the expense of such repossession or that the proceeds
ultimately recoverable with respect to such Receivable would be increased by
forbearance. The Servicer will follow such Customary Servicing Practices as it
deems necessary or advisable, which may include selling the Financed Vehicle at
public or private sale and which shall not, except as provided below, involve
the sale of all, or any portion of, a Receivable. The foregoing shall be
subject to the provision that, in any case in which the Financed Vehicle has
suffered damage, the Servicer shall not be required to expend funds in
connection with the repair or the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless
it shall determine in its discretion that such repair and/or repossession will
increase the Liquidation Proceeds by an amount greater than the amount of such
expenses. The Servicer, in its sole discretion, may in accordance with its
Customary Servicing Practices purchase from the Issuer any Receivable’s
deficiency balance (i.e., the remaining balance of a Receivable after deduction
of all Liquidation Proceeds with respect to such Receivable) for a purchase
price equal to the fair value of the deficiency balance as determined by the
Servicer at the time of purchase by the Servicer, which purchase price shall
not be adjusted by the proceeds the Servicer ultimately realizes from its
disposition or collection efforts related to the deficiency amount. Net
proceeds of any such sale to the Servicer will constitute Liquidation Proceeds,
and the sole right of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee with respect to any
such sold Receivables will be to receive such Liquidation Proceeds. Upon such
sale, the Servicer will mark its computer records indicating that any such
receivable sold is no longer a Receivable. The Servicer is authorized to take
any and all actions necessary or appropriate on behalf of the Issuer to
evidence the sale of the Financed Vehicle at public or private sale or the sale
of the Receivable to the Servicer pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph
free from any Lien or other interest of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee.

          SECTION
3.4 Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Vehicles. The Servicer
will, in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, take such steps as
are necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest created by each
Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle. The provisions set forth in this
Section are the sole requirements under the Transaction Documents with respect
to the maintenance of collateral or security on the Receivables. It is
understood that the Financed Vehicles are the collateral and security for the
Receivables, but that the Certificate of Title with respect to a Financed
Vehicle does not constitute collateral and merely evidences such security
interest. The Issuer hereby authorizes the Servicer to take such steps as are
necessary to re-perfect such security interest on behalf of the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee in the event of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle or for
any other reason; provided, 

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 8

 	
 Sale and Servicing Agreement

(USAA 2012-1) 

 

however that such
steps shall not include retitling the lien of the Financed Vehicle in the name
of the Indenture Trustee.

          SECTION
3.5 Covenants of Servicer. Unless required by law or court order, the
Servicer will not release the Financed Vehicle securing any Receivable from the
security interest granted by such Receivable in whole or in part except (a) in
the event of payment in full by or on behalf of the Obligor thereunder or
payment in full less a deficiency which the Servicer would not attempt to
collect in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, (b) in connection
with repossession or (c) except as may be required by an insurer in order to
receive proceeds from any Insurance Policy covering such Financed Vehicle.

          SECTION
3.6 Purchase of Receivables Upon Breach. Upon discovery by any party
hereto of a breach of any of the covenants set forth in Section 3.2, 3.3,
3.4 or 3.5 which materially and adversely affects the interests
of the Issuer or the Noteholders, the party discovering such breach shall give
prompt written notice thereof to the other parties hereto; provided, that delivery of the Servicer’s
Certificate, which identifies the Receivables that are being or have been
repurchased, shall be deemed to constitute prompt notice by the Servicer and
the Issuer of such breach with respect to such repurchased Receivable; provided,
further,
that the failure to give such notice shall not affect any obligation of the
Servicer hereunder. If the Servicer does not correct or cure such breach prior
to the end of the Collection Period which includes the 60th day (or, if the
Servicer elects, an earlier date) after the date that the Servicer became aware
or was notified of such breach, then the Servicer shall purchase any Receivable
materially and adversely affected by such breach from the Issuer on the Payment
Date following the end of such Collection Period. Any such breach or failure
will be deemed to not have a material and adverse effect if such breach or
failure does not affect the ability of the Issuer to receive and retain timely
payment in full on such Receivable. Any such purchase by the Servicer shall be
at a price equal to the Repurchase Price. In consideration for such repurchase,
the Servicer shall make (or shall cause to be made) a payment to the Issuer
equal to the Repurchase Price by depositing such amount into the Collection
Account prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time on such Payment Date. Upon
payment of such Repurchase Price by the Servicer, 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 Servicer or its
designee any Receivable repurchased pursuant hereto. It is understood and
agreed that the obligation of the Servicer to purchase any Receivable as
described above shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach
available to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee.

          SECTION
3.7 Servicing Fee. On each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee on behalf
of the Issuer shall pay to the Servicer the Servicing Fee in accordance with Section
4.4 for the immediately preceding Collection Period as compensation for its
services. In addition, the Servicer will be entitled to retain all Supplemental
Servicing Fees. The Servicer also will be entitled to receive investment
earnings (net of investment losses and expenses) on funds on deposit in the
Collection Account during each Collection Period.

          SECTION
3.8 Servicer’s Certificate. On or before the Determination Date
preceding each Payment Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee,
and each Paying Agent, with a copy to the Rating Agencies, a Servicer’s
Certificate containing all information necessary

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 9

 	
 Sale and Servicing Agreement

(USAA 2012-1) 

 

 

to make the
payments, transfers and distributions pursuant to Sections 4.3 and 4.4
of this Agreement and Section 8.2(c) of the Indenture on such Payment
Date. At the sole option of the Servicer, each Servicer’s Certificate may be
delivered in electronic or hard copy format.

          SECTION
3.9 Annual Officer’s Certificate; Notice of Servicer Replacement Event.
(a) So long as the Seller is filing any reports with respect to the Issuer under
the Exchange Act, the Servicer will deliver to the Rating Agencies, the Issuer
and the Indenture Trustee, on or before March 30 of each calendar year,
beginning on March 30, 2013, an Officer’s Certificate (with appropriate
insertions) providing such information as is required under Item 1123 of
Regulation AB.

          (b)
The Servicer will deliver to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and each Rating
Agency promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof written notice in an
Officer’s Certificate of any event which with the giving of notice or lapse of
time, or both, would become a Servicer Replacement Event. Except to the extent
set forth in this Section 3.9(b) and Sections 7.2 and 9.22
of this Agreement and Section 3.12 of the Indenture, the Transaction
Documents do not require any policies or procedures to monitor any performance
or other triggers and events of default.

          (c)
So long as the Seller is filing any reports with respect to the Issuer under
the Exchange Act, the Servicer will deliver to the Issuer, on or before
March 30 of each year, beginning on March 30, 2013, a report regarding the
Servicer’s assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria during the
immediately preceding calendar year (or since the Closing Date in the case of
the first such report), including disclosure of any material instance of
non-compliance identified by the Servicer, as required under paragraph (b) of
Rule 13a-18 and Rule 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB.

          SECTION
3.10 Annual Registered Public Accounting Firm Attestation Report. So
long as the Seller is filing any reports with respect to the Issuer under the
Exchange Act, on or before the 90th day following the end of each fiscal year,
beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012, the Servicer
shall cause a firm of independent registered public accountants (who may also
render other services to the Servicer, the Seller or their respective
Affiliates) to furnish to the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer, the Seller and
each Rating Agency each attestation report on assessments of compliance with
the Servicing Criteria with respect to the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof
during the related fiscal year (or since the Closing Date in the case of the
first such report) delivered by such accountants pursuant to paragraph (c) of
Rule 13a-18 or Rule 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB. The certification required by this paragraph
may be replaced by any similar certification using other procedures or
attestation standards which are now or in the future in use by servicers of
comparable assets, or which otherwise comply with any rule, regulation, “no
action” letter or similar guidance promulgated by the Commission.

          SECTION
3.11 Servicer Expenses. The Servicer shall pay all expenses (other than
expenses described in the definition of Liquidation Proceeds) incurred by it in
connection with its activities hereunder, independent accountants, taxes
imposed on the Servicer and expenses incurred in connection with distributions
and reports to the Noteholders and the Certificateholder. The Servicer shall
also pay all fees, expenses, and indemnities of the

 Sale and Servicing Agreement

(USAA 2012-1) 

 

Indenture
Trustee (as described in, and pursuant to the limitations set forth in Section
6.7 of the Indenture) and the Owner Trustee (as described in, and pursuant
to the limitations set forth in, Sections 8.1 and 8.2 of the
Trust Agreement). The compensation and indemnity obligations of the Servicer to
the Indenture Trustee hereunder and pursuant to Section 6.7 of the Indenture
shall survive the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and the
Servicer, the discharge of the Indenture and the termination of this Agreement.

          SECTION
3.12 Exchange Act Filings. The Issuer hereby authorizes the Servicer and
the Seller, or either of them, to prepare, sign, certify and file any and all
reports, statements and information with respect to the Issuer and/or the Notes
required to be filed pursuant to the Exchange Act, and the rules thereunder.

ARTICLE IV

DISTRIBUTIONS; ACCOUNTS;

STATEMENTS TO THE CERTIFICATEHOLDER

AND THE NOTEHOLDERS

          SECTION
4.1 Establishment of Accounts. (a) The Servicer shall cause to be
established:

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (i)

 	
 For the
 benefit of the Noteholders, in the name of the Indenture Trustee, an Eligible
 Account (the “Collection Account”), bearing a designation clearly
 indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the
 Noteholders, which Eligible Account shall be established by and maintained
 with the Indenture Trustee or its designee. No checks shall be issued,
 printed or honored with respect to the Collection Account.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (ii)

 	
 For the
 benefit of the Noteholders, in the name of the Indenture Trustee, an Eligible
 Account (the “Principal Distribution Account”), which may be a subaccount
 of the Collection Account, bearing a designation clearly indicating that the
 funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Noteholders, which
 Eligible Account shall be established by and maintained with the Indenture
 Trustee or its designee. No checks shall be issued, printed or honored with
 respect to the Principal Distribution Account.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (iii)

 	
 For the
 benefit of the Noteholders, in the name of the Indenture Trustee, an Eligible
 Account (the “Reserve Account”), bearing a designation clearly
 indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the
 Noteholders, which Eligible Account shall be established by and maintained
 with the Indenture Trustee or its designee. No checks shall be issued,
 printed or honored with respect to the Reserve Account.

 

          (b)
Funds on deposit in the Collection Account and the Reserve Account
(collectively, with the Principal Distribution Account, the “Trust Accounts”)
shall be invested by the Indenture Trustee in Permitted Investments selected in
writing by the Servicer and of which 

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 11

 	
 Sale and Servicing Agreement

(USAA 2012-1) 

 

the Servicer
provides notification (pursuant to standing instructions or otherwise);
provided, that it is understood and agreed that neither the Servicer, the
Indenture Trustee nor the Issuer shall be liable for any loss arising from such
investment in Permitted Investments. If the Bank of New York Mellon is the
Indenture Trustee, in the absence of such written investment direction, all
funds shall be invested in one or more Permitted Investments in accordance with
the standing instructions most recently given by the Servicer or should that
for any reason not be possible such funds shall be retained uninvested. All
such Permitted Investments shall be held by or on behalf of the Indenture
Trustee as secured party for the benefit of the Noteholders; provided, that on each Payment Date all interest and other investment
income (net of losses and investment expenses) on funds on deposit in the
Collection Account shall be distributed to the Servicer as additional servicing
compensation and shall not be available to pay the distributions provided for
in Section 4.4. All investments of funds on deposit in the Trust
Accounts shall mature so that such funds will be available by 10:00 a.m. New
York City time on the next Payment Date. No Permitted Investment shall be sold
or otherwise disposed of prior to its scheduled maturity unless a default
occurs with respect to such Permitted Investment and the Servicer directs the
Indenture Trustee in writing to dispose of such Permitted Investment. For the
avoidance of doubt, with respect to each Payment Date, any interest and other
income earned on funds in deposit in the Collection Account from the Business
Day prior to such Payment Date through such Payment Date shall be paid to the
Servicer. 

          (c)
The Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds
on deposit from time to time in the Trust Accounts and in all proceeds thereof
and all such funds, investments and proceeds shall be part of the Trust Estate.
Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trust Accounts shall be under the sole
dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the
Noteholders. If, at any time, any Trust Account ceases to be an Eligible
Account, the Servicer shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee in writing
(unless such Trust Account is an account with the Indenture Trustee) and within
10 Business Days (or any longer period if the Rating Agency Condition is
satisfied with respect to such longer period) after becoming aware of the fact,
establish a new Trust Account as an Eligible Account and shall direct the
Indenture Trustee to transfer any cash and/or any investments to such new Trust
Account. 

          (d)
With respect to the Trust Account Property, the parties hereto agree that:

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (i)

Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, by entering
into or accepting this Agreement, acknowledge and agree that they have no

legally perfected or otherwise entitled to a priority of distributions or
application under applicable law, including insolvency laws, and whether or not

Servicer that would materially and adversely affect the federal or Applicable
Tax State income, excise, franchise or similar tax attributes of the Notes.

          (f)
Fidelity Bond. The Servicer shall not be required to maintain a fidelity
bond or errors and omissions policy.

          SECTION 6.2
Indemnities of Servicer. The Servicer will be liable in accordance
herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the
Servicer under this Agreement, and hereby agrees to the following:

 Sale and Servicing Agreement

(USAA 2012-1) 

 

          (a)
The Servicer will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, the Owner
Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders, the Certificateholder and the
Seller from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims
and liabilities, arising out of or resulting from the use, ownership or
operation by the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof of a Financed Vehicle. 

          (b)
The Servicer will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuer, the Owner
Trustee and the Indenture Trustee and their respective directors, officers,
employees and agents from and against any taxes that may at any time be
asserted against any such Person with respect to the transactions contemplated
herein or in the other Transaction Documents, if any, including, without
limitation, any sales, gross receipts, general corporation, tangible personal
property, privilege, or license taxes (but, in the case of the Issuer, not
including any taxes asserted with respect to, and as of the date of, the
conveyance of the Receivables to the Issuer or the issuance and original sales
of the Notes, or asserted with respect to ownership of the Receivables, or
federal or other Applicable Tax State income taxes arising out of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents) and costs and expenses in defending against the same. For the
avoidance of doubt, the Servicer will not indemnify for any costs, expenses,
losses, claims, damages or liabilities due to the credit risk of the Obligor
and for which reimbursement would constitute recourse for uncollectible
Receivables. 

          (c)
The Servicer will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuer, the Owner
Trustee and the Indenture Trustee and their respective directors, officers,
employees and agents and the Seller from and against any and all costs,
expenses, losses, claims, damages, and liabilities to the extent that such
cost, expense, loss, claim, damage, or liability arose out of, or was imposed
upon any such Person through, the negligence, willful misfeasance, or bad faith
of the Servicer in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or any
other Transaction Document to which it is a party, or by reason of its failure
to perform its obligations or of reckless disregard of its obligations and
duties under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a
party; provided, however, that the Servicer will not
indemnify for any costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities
arising from its breach of any covenant for which the repurchase of the
affected Receivables is specified as the sole remedy pursuant to Section
3.6. 

          (d)
The Servicer will compensate and indemnify the Owner Trustee to the extent and
subject to the conditions set forth in Sections 8.1 and 8.2 of
the Trust Agreement. The Servicer will compensate and indemnify the Indenture
Trustee to the extent and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 6.7
of the Indenture, except to the extent that any cost, expense, loss, claim,
damage or liability arises out of or is incurred in connection with the
performance by the Indenture Trustee of the duties of a successor Servicer
hereunder. 

          (e)
Indemnification under this Section 6.2 by the Bank (or any successor
thereto pursuant to Section 6.6 or Section 7.1) as Servicer, with
respect to the period such Person was the Servicer, will survive the
termination of such Person as Servicer or a resignation by such Person as
Servicer as well as the termination of this Agreement and the Trust Agreement
or the resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee and
will include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of
litigation. If the Servicer has made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section
6.2 and the Person to or on behalf of whom such payments are 

	
  

 	
  

 
	
 22

 	
 Sale and Servicing Agreement
(USAA 2012-1)

 

made
thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Person will promptly
repay such amounts to the Servicer, without interest. 

          (f)
Neither the Servicer nor any of the directors or officers or employees or
agents of the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Issuer, the
Noteholders or the Certificateholders, except as provided under this Agreement,
for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant
to this Agreement or for errors in judgment; provided,
however, that this provision
shall not protect the Servicer or any such Person against any liability that
would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance or bad faith in the
performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and
duties under this Agreement, or by reason of negligence in the performance of
its duties under this Agreement. The Servicer and any director, officer or
employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on any Opinion of
Counsel or on any Officer’s Certificate of the Seller or certificate of
auditors believed to be genuine and to have been signed by the proper party in
respect of any matters arising under this Agreement. 

          The
provisions of this Section 6.2 shall survive termination of this
Agreement and satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. 

          SECTION
6.3 Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of, Servicer.
Any Person (i) into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, (ii)
resulting from any merger, conversion, or consolidation to which the Servicer
is a party, (iii) succeeding to the business of the Servicer or (iv) 50% or
more of the equity of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the United
Services Automobile Association, which Person in any of the foregoing cases
executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Servicer
under this Agreement, will be the successor to the Servicer under this
Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the part of any of the parties to this Agreement. The Servicer shall provide
prior notice of the effective date of any merger, conversion, consolidation or
succession pursuant to this Section 6.3 to the Rating Agencies, the
Indenture Trustee and the Seller. The Servicer shall provide the Seller in
writing such information as reasonably requested by the Seller to comply with
its Exchange Act reporting obligations with respect to a successor Servicer. 

          SECTION
6.4 Limitation on Liability of Servicer and Others. (a) Neither the
Servicer nor any of the directors or officers or employees or agents of the
Servicer will be under any liability to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the
Owner Trustee, the Noteholders or the Certificateholder, except as provided
under this Agreement, for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of
any action pursuant to this Agreement or for errors in judgment; provided, however,
that this provision will not protect the Servicer or any such Person against
any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance
or bad faith in the performance of duties or by reason of its failure to
perform its obligations or of reckless disregard of obligations and duties
under this Agreement, or by reason of negligence in the performance of its
duties under this Agreement (except for errors in judgment). The Servicer and
any director, officer or employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good
faith on any Opinion of Counsel or on any Officer’s Certificate of the Seller
or certificate of auditors believed to be genuine and to have been signed by
the proper party in respect of any matters arising under this Agreement. 

	
  

 	
  

 
	
 23

 	
 Sale and Servicing Agreement
(USAA 2012-1) 

 

          (b)
Except as provided in this Agreement, the Servicer will not be under any
obligation to appear in, prosecute, or defend any legal action that is not
incidental to its duties to service the Receivables in accordance with this
Agreement, and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however,
that the Servicer may undertake any reasonable action that it may deem
necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties
of the parties to this Agreement and the interests of the Noteholders and the
Certificateholder under this Agreement. In such event, the legal expenses and
costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom will be expenses,
costs and liabilities of the Issuer, and the Servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed therefor. Any amounts due the Servicer pursuant to this subsection
shall be payable on a Payment Date in accordance with Section 4.4(a).

          SECTION
6.5 Delegation of Duties. The Servicer may, at any time without notice
or consent, delegate (a) any or all of its duties (including, without
limitation, its duties as custodian) under the Transaction Documents to any of
its Affiliates or (b) specific duties (including, without limitation, its
duties as custodian) to sub-contractors who are in the business of performing
such duties; provided, that no
such delegation shall relieve the Servicer of its responsibility with respect
to such duties and the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Issuer
and the Indenture Trustee for its duties hereunder as if the Servicer alone
were performing such duties. For any servicing activities delegated to third
parties in accordance with this Section 6.5, the Servicer shall follow
such policies and procedures to monitor the performance of such third parties
and compliance with such servicing activities as the Servicer follows with
respect to comparable motor vehicle receivables serviced by the Servicer for
its own account. 

          SECTION
6.6 The Bank Not to Resign as Servicer. Subject to the provisions of Sections
6.3 and 6.5, the Bank will not resign from the obligations and
duties hereby imposed on it as Servicer under this Agreement except upon
determination that the performance of its duties under this Agreement is no
longer permissible under applicable law. Notice of any such determination
permitting the resignation of the Bank will be communicated to the Issuer and
the Indenture Trustee at the earliest practicable time (and, if such
communication is not in writing, will be confirmed in writing at the earliest
practicable time) and any such determination will be evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel to such effect delivered to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee
concurrently with or promptly after such notice. No such resignation will
become effective until a successor Servicer has (i) assumed the
responsibilities and obligations of the Bank as Servicer and (ii) provided in
writing the information reasonably requested by the Seller to comply with its
reporting obligations under the Exchange Act with respect to a replacement
Servicer. 

          SECTION
6.7 Servicer May Own Notes. The Servicer, and any Affiliate of the
Servicer, may, in its individual or any other capacity, become the owner or
pledgee of Notes with the same rights as it would have if it were not the
Servicer or an Affiliate thereof, except as otherwise expressly provided herein
or in the other Transaction Documents. Except as set forth herein or in the
other Transaction Documents, Notes so owned by or pledged to the Servicer or
such Affiliate will have an equal and proportionate benefit under the
provisions of this Agreement, without preference, priority or distinction as
among all of the Notes.

ARTICLE VII

REPLACEMENT OF SERVICER

          SECTION
7.1 Replacement of Servicer.

          (a)
If a Servicer Replacement Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Indenture Trustee may or, at the direction of 662⁄3 % of the Note Balance
of the Controlling Class shall, by notice given to the Servicer, the Owner
Trustee, the Issuer, the Administrator and the Noteholders, terminate the
rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the
Receivables. In the event the Servicer is terminated pursuant to this
Section 7.1 or resigns as Servicer pursuant to Section 6.6 with
respect to servicing the Receivables, the Indenture Trustee, acting at the
direction of 662⁄3 % of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, shall
appoint a successor Servicer. Upon the Servicer’s receipt of notice of
termination the predecessor Servicer will continue to perform its functions as
Servicer under this Agreement only until the date specified in such termination
notice or, if no such date is specified in such termination notice, until
receipt of such notice. If a successor Servicer has not been appointed at the
time when the predecessor Servicer ceases to act as Servicer in accordance with
this Section 7.1, the Indenture Trustee without further action will
automatically be appointed the successor Servicer. Notwithstanding the above,
the Indenture Trustee, if it is legally unable or is unwilling to so act, will
appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor
Servicer. Any successor Servicer shall be an established institution having a
net worth of not less than $100,000,000 and whose regular business includes the
servicing of comparable motor vehicle receivables having an aggregate
outstanding principal amount of not less than $50,000,000. 

          (b)
Noteholders holding not less than a majority of the Note Balance of the
Controlling Class may waive any Servicer Replacement Event. Upon any such
waiver, such Servicer Replacement Event shall cease to exist and be deemed to
have been cured and not to have occurred for every purpose of this Agreement,
but no such waiver shall extend to any prior, subsequent or other Servicer
Replacement Event or impair any right consequent thereto. 

          (c)
If replaced, the Servicer agrees that it will use commercially reasonable
efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the servicing of the
Receivables to a successor Servicer. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the
Successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and
rights of the Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer
to the Successor Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts which
shall at the time be held by the Servicer for deposit, or have been deposited
by the Servicer, in the Collection Account, or for its own account in
connection with its services hereafter or thereafter received with respect to
the Collateral. The Servicer shall transfer to the Successor Servicer all
records held by the Servicer relating to the Collateral in such electronic form
as the Successor Servicer may reasonably request and (ii) any Receivable Files
in the Servicer’s possession. The Servicer will provide access to the
Receivable Files, and the related accounts records, and computer systems
maintained by the Servicer at such times as the Success Servicer direct, but
only upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, which do not
unreasonably interfere with the Servicer’s normal operations, at the respective
offices of the Servicer. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred in
connection with transferring the 

	
  

 	
  

 
	
 25

 	
 Sale and Servicing Agreement
(USAA 2012-1) 

 

Receivable
Files to the successor Servicer and all other reasonable costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the transfer to the successor Servicer related to
the performance by the Servicer hereunder will be paid by the predecessor
Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and
expenses. 

          (d)
Upon the effectiveness of the assumption by the successor Servicer of its
duties pursuant to this Section 7.1, the successor Servicer shall be the
successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under
this Agreement with respect to the Receivables, and shall be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto, except with respect
to the obligations of the predecessor Servicer that survive its termination as
Servicer, including indemnification obligations as set forth in Section
6.2(e). In such event, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee are
hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
predecessor Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents
and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things
necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such termination and
replacement of the Servicer, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement
of the Receivables and related documents, or otherwise. No Servicer shall
resign or be relieved of its duties under this Agreement, as Servicer of the
Receivables, until a newly appointed Servicer for the Receivables shall have
assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the resigning or terminated
Servicer under this Agreement. 

          (e)
In connection with such appointment, the Indenture Trustee may make such
arrangements for the compensation of the successor Servicer out of Available
Funds as it and such successor Servicer will agree; provided, however,
that no such compensation will be in excess of the amount paid to the
predecessor Servicer under this Agreement. 

          SECTION
7.2 Notification to Noteholders. Upon any termination of, or appointment
of a successor to, the Servicer pursuant to this Article VII, the
Indenture Trustee will give prompt (but in any event, within (5) Business Days
of such termination or appointment) written notice thereof to the Owner
Trustee, the Issuer, the Administrator and to the Noteholders at their
respective addresses of record. 

ARTICLE VIII

OPTIONAL PURCHASE

          SECTION
8.1 Optional Purchase of Trust Estate. The Servicer shall have the right
at its option (the “Optional Purchase”) to purchase (and/or to designate
one or more other persons to purchase) some or all of the Receivables from the
Issuer on any Payment Date if both of the following conditions are satisfied:
(a) the Net Pool Balance as of the last day of the related Collection Period
has declined to 10% or less of the Net Pool Balance as of the Cut-Off Date and
(b) the sum of the Optional Purchase Price and Available Funds for such Payment
Date would be sufficient to pay (x) the amounts required to be paid under
clauses first through fifth of Section 4.4(a) and (y) the
Outstanding Note Balance (after giving effect to the payments described in the
preceding clause (x)). The aggregate purchase price for the Receivables (the “Optional
Purchase Price”) shall equal the lesser of (x) the aggregate principal
amounts of the Receivables (assuming that Receivables that were more than 30
days past due as of the last day of the related Collection Period have a
principal balance of zero) and (y) the fair market value of the Receivables 

	
  

 	
  

 
	
 26

 	
 Sale and Servicing Agreement
(USAA 2012-1)

 

(assuming that
Receivables that were more than 30 days past due as of the last day of the
related Collection Period have a fair market value of zero), which amount shall
be deposited by or at the direction of the Servicer into the Collection Account
on the Redemption Date. If the Servicer exercises the Optional Purchase, the
Notes shall be redeemed and in each case in whole but not in part on the
related Payment Date for the Redemption Price. Upon any such Optional Purchase,
any funds remaining in the Reserve Account will be distributed to or at the
direction of the Certificateholder. 

ARTICLE IX

one of the following conditions: 

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (i)

 	
 the Seller
 or the Servicer delivers to the Indenture Trustee (a) an Opinion of Counsel
 to the effect that such amendment will not materially and adversely affect
 the interests of the Noteholders and (b) Officer’s Certificate of the Seller
 or Servicer, respectively, to the effect that such amendment will not
 materially and adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders; or 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (ii)

 	
 the Rating
 Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to such amendment and the Seller
 or the Servicer notifies the Indenture Trustee in writing that the Rating

          (b)
This Agreement (including Appendix A) may also be amended from time to
time by the Seller, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee, with the consent of
the Noteholders evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Note
Balance of the Controlling Class, 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 the Noteholders; provided, that no such amendment shall (i)
reduce the interest rate or principal amount of any Note or change or delay the
Final Scheduled Payment Date of any Note without the consent of the Holder of
such Note, or (ii) reduce the percentage of the Note Balance, the Holders of which
are required to consent to any matter without the consent of the Holders of at
least the percentage of the Note Balance which were required to consent to such
matter before giving effect to such amendment; provided,
further, that in the case of any
amendment pursuant to this Section 9.1(b), the Indenture Trustee may not
agree to any such amendment if such amendment failed to comply with the
requirements of Section 9.2 of the Indenture. It will not be necessary
for the consent of Noteholders to approve the particular form of any proposed
amendment or consent, but it will be sufficient if such consent approves the
substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents (and any other
consents of Noteholders provided for in this Agreement) and of evidencing the
authorization of the execution thereof by Noteholders will be subject to such 

	
  

 	
  

 
	
 27

 	
 Sale and Servicing Agreement
(USAA 2012-1)

 

reasonable
requirements as the Indenture Trustee may prescribe, including the
establishment of record dates pursuant to the Note Depository Agreement. 

          (c)
Prior to the execution of any amendment pursuant to this Section 9.1,
the Servicer shall provide written notification of the substance of such
amendment to each Rating Agency; and promptly after the execution of any such
amendment or consent, the Servicer shall furnish a copy of such amendment or
consent to each Rating Agency and the Indenture Trustee; provided, that no amendment pursuant to
this Section 9.1 shall be effective which affects the rights, protections
or duties of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee without the prior
written consent of such Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed). 

          (d)
Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Section 9.1, the Owner
Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive and conclusively
rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is
authorized or permitted by this Agreement and that all conditions precedent to
the execution and delivery of such amendment have been satisfied. The Owner
Trustee and the Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter
into or execute on behalf of the Issuer any such amendment which adversely
affects the Owner Trustee’s or the Indenture Trustee’s, as applicable, own
rights, privileges, indemnities, duties or obligations under this Agreement. 

          SECTION
9.2 Protection of Title. 

          (a)
The Seller shall authorize and file such financing statements and cause to be
authorized and filed such continuation and other statements, all in such manner
and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve, maintain and
protect the interest of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee under this
Agreement in the Receivables. The Seller shall deliver (or cause to be
delivered) to the Issuer file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any
document filed as provided above. 

          (b)
The Seller shall notify the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in writing within
ten (10) days following the occurrence of (i) any change in the Seller’s
organizational structure as a limited liability company, (ii) any change in the
Seller’s “location” (within the meaning of Section 9-307 of the UCC of all
applicable jurisdictions) and (iii) any change in the Seller’s name and shall
have taken all action prior to making such change (or shall have made
arrangements to take such action substantially simultaneously with such change,
if it is not possible to take such action in advance) reasonably necessary or
advisable to amend all previously filed financing statements or continuation
statements described in paragraph (a) above. 

          (c)
The Servicer shall maintain (or shall cause its Sub-Servicer to maintain) in
accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices accounts and records as to
each Receivable accurately and in sufficient detail to permit (i) the reader
thereof to know at any time the status of such 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
Receivable and the amounts from time to time deposited in the Collection
Account in respect of such Receivable. 

	
  

 	
  

 
	
 28

 	
 Sale and Servicing Agreement
(USAA 2012-1) 

 

          (d)
The Servicer shall maintain (or shall cause its Sub-Servicer to maintain) its
computer systems so that, from time to time after the conveyance under this
Agreement of the Receivables, the master computer records (including any backup
archives, it being understood that any such backup archives may not reflect
such interest until thirty-five (35) days after the applicable changes are made
to such master computer records) that refer to a Receivable shall indicate
clearly the interest of the Issuer in such Receivable and that such Receivable
is owned by the Issuer and has been pledged to the Indenture Trustee pursuant
to the Indenture. Indication of the Issuer’s interest in a Receivable shall not
be deleted from or modified on such computer systems until, and only until, the
related Receivable shall have been paid in full, repurchased by the Seller
pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof, repurchased by the Bank pursuant to Section
3.3 of the Purchase Agreement or purchased by the Servicer in accordance
with Section 3.6 hereof.  

          (e)
If at any time the Servicer shall propose to sell, grant a security interest in
or otherwise transfer any interest in motor vehicle receivables to any
prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee, the Servicer shall give to
such prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee computer tapes, records
or printouts (including any restored from backup archives) that, if they shall
refer in any manner whatsoever to any Receivable, shall indicate clearly that
such Receivable has been sold and is owned by the Issuer and has been pledged
to the Indenture Trustee. 

          (f)
The Servicer, upon receipt of reasonable prior notice, shall permit the
Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and their respective agents at any time during
normal business hours, to the extent it does not unreasonably interfere with
the Servicer’s normal operations, to inspect, audit and, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, make copies of and abstracts from Servicer’s (or
any Sub-Servicer’s) records regarding any Receivable. 

          (g)
Upon request, the Servicer shall furnish to the Issuer or to the Indenture
Trustee, within five Business Days, a list of all Receivables (by contract
number and name of Obligor) then owned by the Issuer, together with a
reconciliation of such list to each of the Servicer’s Certificates furnished
before such request indicating removal of Receivables from the Issuer. 

          SECTION
9.3 Other Liens or Interests. Except for the conveyances and grants of
security interests pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents, the Seller shall not sell, pledge, assign or transfer the
Receivables or other property transferred to the Issuer to any other Person, or
grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted
Liens) on any interest therein, and the Seller shall defend the right, title
and interest of the Issuer in, to and under such Receivables and other property
transferred to the Issuer against all claims of third parties claiming through
or under the Seller. 

          SECTION
9.4 Transfers Intended as Sale; Security Interest.

          (a)
Each of the parties hereto expressly intends and agrees that the transfers
contemplated and effected under this Agreement are complete and absolute sales
and transfers rather than pledges or assignments of only a security interest
and shall be given effect as such for all purposes. It is further the intention
of the parties hereto that the Receivables and related Transferred Assets shall
not be part of the Seller’s estate in the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency
of the Seller. The sales and transfers by the Seller of Receivables and related

	
  

 	
  

 
	
 29

 	
 Sale and Servicing Agreement
(USAA 2012-1) 

 

Transferred
Assets hereunder are and shall be without recourse to, or representation or
warranty (express or implied) by, the Seller, except as otherwise specifically
provided herein. The limited rights of recourse specified herein against the
Seller are intended to provide a remedy for breach of representations and
warranties relating to the condition of the property sold, rather than to the
collectibility of the Receivables. 

          (b)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Receivables and other
Transferred Assets are held to be property of the Seller, or if for any reason
this Agreement is held or deemed to create indebtedness or a security interest
in the Receivables and other Transferred Assets, then it is intended that: 

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (i)

 	
 This
 Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of
 Articles 8 and 9 of the New York UCC and the UCC of any other applicable
 jurisdiction; 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (ii)

 	
 The
 conveyance provided for in Section 2.1 shall be deemed to be a grant
 by the Seller, and the Seller hereby grants, to the Issuer a security
 interest in all of its right (including the power to convey title thereto),
 title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the
 Receivables and other Transferred Assets, to secure such indebtedness and the
 performance of the obligations of the Seller hereunder; 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (iii)

 	
 The
 possession by the Issuer, or the Servicer as the Issuer’s agent, of the
 Receivable Files and any other property as constitute instruments, money,
 negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by

exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance
under these provisions other than in good faith in order to comply with the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations of the Commission
under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and any comments or requests of
the Commission. The Indenture Trustee acknowledges that interpretations of the
requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive
guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants
in the asset-backed securities markets or consensus among counsel to the
parties hereto, and agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Seller to deliver
to the Seller and Servicer such information necessary in the good faith
determination of the Seller and Servicer to permit the Seller or such Servicer
to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB.

rights of, but not, without its express consent, the obligations of the

          (e)
Binding Obligation. Each Receivable constitutes the legal,
valid and binding payment obligation in writing of the Obligor, enforceable in
all material respects by the holder thereof in accordance with its terms,

 I-2

 	
 Schedule I to the

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 Sale and Servicing Agreement

 

existed as of
the Cut-Off Date or that any continuing condition that with notice or lapse of
time, or both, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event
permitting acceleration under the terms of the Receivable had arisen as of the
Cut-Off Date.

          (i)
Insurance. Each Receivable requires the Obligor thereunder to insure
the Financed Vehicle under a physical damage insurance policy.

          (j)
No Government Obligor. The Obligor on each Receivable is not the
United States of America or any state thereof or any local government, or any
agency, department, political subdivision or instrumentality of the United
States of America or any state thereof or any local government.

          (k)
Assignment. No Receivable has been originated in, or is subject to the
laws of, any jurisdiction under which the sale, transfer, assignment,
conveyance or pledge of such Receivable would be unlawful, void, or voidable.
The Seller has not entered into any agreement with any Obligor that prohibits,
restricts or conditions the assignment of the related Receivable.

          (l)
Good Title. It is the intention of the Seller that the sale,
contribution, transfer, assignment and conveyance herein contemplated
constitute an absolute sale, contribution, transfer, assignment and conveyance
of the Receivables and that the Receivables not be part of the Seller’s estate
in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller
under any bankruptcy law. No Receivable has been sold, transferred, assigned,
conveyed or pledged to any Person other than pursuant to the Transaction
Documents. As of the Closing Date and immediately prior to the sale and
transfer herein contemplated, the Seller had good and marketable title to each
Receivable free and clear of all Liens, and, immediately upon the sale and
transfer thereof, the Issuer will have good and marketable title to each
Receivable, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens).

          (m)
Filings. All filings (including, without limitation, UCC filings)
necessary in any jurisdiction to give the Issuer a first priority, validly
perfected ownership interest in the Receivables (other than the Related
Security with respect thereto), and to give the Indenture Trustee a first
priority perfected security interest therein, will be made within ten days of
the Closing Date.

          (n)
Priority. The Receivable is not pledged, assigned, sold, subject to a
security interest, or otherwise conveyed other than pursuant to the Transaction
Documents. The Seller has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any
financing statements against the Bank or the Seller that include a description
of collateral covering the Receivables other than any financing statement
relating to security interests granted under the Transaction Documents or that
have been terminated. The Sale and Servicing Agreement creates a valid and
continuing security interest in the Receivable (other than the Related Security
with respect thereto) in favor of the Issuer which security interest is prior
to all other Liens (other than Permitted Liens) and is enforceable as such
against all other creditors of and purchasers and assignees from the Seller.

          (o)
Characterization of Receivables. Each Receivable constitutes either
“tangible chattel paper,” “electronic chattel paper,” an “account,” a
“promissory note” or a “payment intangible,” each as defined in the UCC.

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 I-3

 	
 Schedule I to the 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 Sale and Servicing Agreement

 

          (p)
One Original. With respect to any Receivable
constituting electronic chattel paper, there is only one “authoritative copy”
(as such term is used in Section 9-105 of the UCC) of the Receivable or with
respect to any Receivable constituting tangible chattel paper for which an
original executed copy exists, there is no more than one original executed copy
of such Receivable and none of the instruments, tangible chattel paper or
electronic chattel paper that constitute or evidence the Receivables has any
marks or notations indicating that it has been pledged, assigned or otherwise
conveyed to any Person other than to a party to the Transaction Documents.

          (q)
No Defenses. The Seller
has no knowledge either of any facts which would give rise to any right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, or of the same being asserted or
threatened, with respect to any Receivable.

          (r)
No Repossession. As of
the Cut-Off Date, no Financed Vehicle shall have been repossessed.

 Issuer’s and the Owner Trustee’s duties and obligations under the Issuer
 Documents. The Administrator shall perform such calculations, and shall
 prepare for execution by the Issuer or the Owner Trustee or shall cause the
 preparation by other appropriate Persons of all such documents, reports,
 filings, instruments, certificates, notices and opinions as it shall be the
 duty of the Issuer or the Owner Trustee (in its capacity as owner trustee
 under the Trust Agreement) to prepare, file or deliver pursuant to the Issuer
 Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Administrator shall take all
 appropriate action that is the duty of the Issuer or the Owner Trustee (in
 its capacity as owner trustee under the Trust Agreement) to take pursuant to
 the Issuer Documents, and shall prepare, execute, file and deliver on behalf
 of the Issuer or the Owner Trustee all such documents, reports, filings,
 instruments, certificates, notices and opinions as it shall be the duty of
 the Issuer or the Owner Trustee to prepare, file or deliver pursuant to the
 Issuer Documents or otherwise by law.

 upon the Administrator being notified thereof by the Owner Trustee, the
 Indenture Trustee or the Servicer, as applicable.

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (c) No
 Action by Administrator. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
 Agreement, the Administrator shall not be obligated to, and shall not, take
 any action that the Issuer directs the Administrator not to take or which
 would result in a violation or breach of the Issuer’s covenants, agreements
 or obligations under any of the Issuer Documents.

           (i)
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to
 matters that in the reasonable judgment of the Administrator are
 non-ministerial, the Administrator shall not take any action unless, within a
 reasonable time before the taking of such action, the Administrator shall
 have notified the Issuer of the proposed action and the Issuer shall not have
 withheld consent or provided an alternative direction. For the purpose of the
 preceding sentence, “non-ministerial matters” shall include, without
 limitation:

 action, claim or lawsuit brought by or against the Issuer;

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (B) the

           (C) the

 that the Issuer directs the Administrator not to take on its behalf.

 

          2. Records.
The Administrator shall maintain appropriate books of account and records
relating to services performed hereunder, which books of account and records
shall be accessible for inspection upon reasonable written request by the

          3. Compensation;
Payment of Fees and Expenses. As compensation for the performance of the
Administrator’s obligations under this Agreement and as reimbursement for its

shall pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities
hereunder.

          4. Independence
of the Administrator. For all purposes of this Agreement, the Administrator
shall be an independent contractor and shall not be subject to the supervision
of the Issuer with respect to the manner in which it accomplishes the
performance of its obligations hereunder. Unless expressly authorized by the
Issuer, the Administrator shall have no authority to act for or to represent
the Issuer in any way (other than as permitted hereunder) and shall not
otherwise be deemed an agent of the Issuer.

          5. No
Joint Venture. Nothing contained in this Agreement (i) shall constitute the
Administrator and the Issuer as members of any partnership, joint venture,
association, syndicate, unincorporated business or other separate entity, (ii)
shall be construed to impose any liability as such on the Administrator or the
Issuer or (iii) shall be deemed to confer on the Administrator or the Issuer
any express, implied or apparent authority to incur any obligation or liability
on behalf of the other.

          6. Other
Activities of the Administrator. Nothing herein shall prevent the

 Administration Agreement 

 (USAA 2012-1)

 

          7. Representations
and Warranties of the Administrator. The Administrator represents and
warrants to the Issuer as follows:

	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (a) Existence
 and Power. The Administrator is a federally chartered savings association
 validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States and
 has, in all material respects, all power and authority to carry on its
 business as now conducted. The Administrator has obtained all necessary
 licenses and approvals in each jurisdiction where the failure to do so would
 materially and adversely affect the ability of the Administrator to perform
 its obligations under the Transaction Documents or affect the enforceability
 or collectibility of the Receivables or any other part of the Collateral.

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (b) Authorization
 and No Contravention. The execution, delivery and
 performance by the Administrator of the Transaction Documents to which it is
 a party (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the
 part of the Administrator and (ii) do not contravene or constitute a
 default under (A) any applicable law, rule or regulation, (B) its
 organizational documents or (C) any material agreement, contract, order or
 other instrument to which it is a party or its property is subject (other
 than violations which do not affect the legality, validity or enforceability
 of any of such agreements and which, individually or in the aggregate, would
 not materially and adversely affect the transactions contemplated by, or the
 Administrator’s ability to perform its obligations under, the Transaction
 Documents).

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (c) No
 Consent Required. No approval or authorization by, or filing with, any
 Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery
 and performance by the Administrator of any Transaction Document other than
 (i) UCC filings, (ii) approvals and authorizations that have previously been
 obtained and filings that have previously been made and (iii) approvals,
 authorizations or filings which, if not obtained or made, would not have a
 material adverse effect on the enforceability or collectibility of the
 Receivables or any other part of the Collateral or would not materially and
 adversely affect the ability of the Administrator to perform its obligations
 under the Transaction Documents.

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (d) Binding
 Effect. Each Transaction Document to which the Administrator is a party
 constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Administrator
 enforceable against the Administrator in accordance with its terms, except as
 such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
 reorganization, moratorium, receivership, conservatorship or other similar
 laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and, if
 applicable, the rights of creditors of federally chartered savings
 associations from time to time in effect or by general principles of equity.

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
           8. Administrator Replacement Events; Termination of the
 Administrator.

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (a)
 Subject to clauses (d) and (e) below, the Administrator may
 resign its duties hereunder by providing the Issuer with at least sixty (60)
 days’ prior written notice.

 Administration Agreement 

 (USAA 2012-1)

 

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (b) The
 Issuer may remove the Administrator without cause by providing the
 Administrator with at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice; provided,
 that, for so long as any Notes are Outstanding, the Rating Agency Condition
 shall have been satisfied in connection therewith.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (c) The
 occurrence of any one of the following events (each, an “Administrator
 Replacement Event”) shall also entitle the Issuer, subject to Section
 20 hereof, to terminate and replace the Administrator:

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
           (i) any
 failure by the Administrator to deliver or cause to be delivered any required
 payment to the Indenture Trustee for distribution to the Noteholders, which
 failure continues unremedied for five Business Days after discovery thereof
 by a Responsible Officer of the Administrator or receipt by the Administrator
 of written notice thereof from the Indenture Trustee or Noteholders
 evidencing at least a majority of the Outstanding Note Balance, voting
 together as a single class;

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
           (ii) any
 failure by the Administrator to duly observe or perform in any material
 respect any other of its covenants or agreements in this Agreement, which
 failure materially and adversely affects the rights of the Issuer or the
 Noteholders, and which continues unremedied for 90 days after discovery
 thereof by a Responsible Officer of the Administrator or receipt by the
 Administrator of written notice thereof from the Indenture Trustee or
 Noteholders evidencing at least a majority of the Outstanding Note Balance,
 voting together as a single class;

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
           (iii) any
 representation or warranty of the Administrator made in any Transaction
 Document to which the Administrator is a party or by which it is bound or any
 certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement proves to have been
 incorrect in any material respect when made, which failure materially and
 adversely affects the rights of the Issuer or the Noteholders, and which
 failure continues unremedied for 90 days after discovery thereof by a
 Responsible Officer of the Administrator or receipt by the Administrator of
 written notice thereof from the Indenture Trustee or Noteholders evidencing
 at least a majority of the Outstanding Note Balance, voting together as a
 single class (it being understood that any repurchase of a Receivable by the
 Bank pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Purchase Agreement, by the Seller
 pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or by the
 Servicer pursuant to Section 3.6 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement
 shall be deemed to remedy any incorrect representation or warranty with
 respect to such Receivable); or

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
           (iv)
 the Administrator suffers an Insolvency Event;

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 provided, however, that a delay in or failure of performance referred
to under clause (i) above for a period of 90 days will not constitute
an Administrator Replacement Event if such delay or failure was caused by force
majeure or other similar occurrence as certified by the
Administrator in an Officer’s Certificate of the Administrator delivered to
the Indenture Trustee.

 Administration Agreement 

 (USAA 2012-1)

 

	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (d) If an
 Administrator Replacement Event shall have occurred, the Issuer may, subject
 to Section 20 hereof, by notice given to the Administrator, the Owner
 Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, terminate all or a portion of the rights
 and powers of the Administrator under this Agreement, including the rights of
 the Administrator to receive the annual fee for services hereunder for all
 periods following such termination; provided,
 however, that such termination
 shall not become effective until such time as the Issuer, subject to Section
 20 hereof, shall have appointed a successor Administrator in the manner
 set forth below. Upon any such termination, all rights, powers, duties and
 responsibilities of the Administrator under this Agreement shall vest in and
 be assumed by any successor Administrator appointed by the Issuer, subject to
 Section 20 hereof, pursuant to a management agreement between the
 Issuer and such successor Administrator, containing substantially the same
 provisions as this Agreement (including with respect to the compensation of
 such successor Administrator), and the successor Administrator is hereby
 irrevocably authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
 Administrator, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and other
 instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
 appropriate to effect such vesting and assumption. Further, in such event,
 the Administrator shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the
 orderly and efficient transfer of the administration of the Issuer to the new
 Administrator.

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (e) The
 Issuer, subject to Section 20 hereof, may waive in writing any
 Administrator Replacement Event by the Administrator in the performance of
 its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a
 past Administrator Replacement Event, such Administrator Replacement Event
 shall cease to exist, and any Administrator Replacement Event arising
 therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this
 Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other
 Administrator Replacement Event or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

          9. Action
upon Termination or Removal. Promptly upon the effective date of
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8, or the removal of
the Administrator pursuant to Section 8, the Administrator shall be
entitled to be paid by the Seller all fees and reimbursable expenses accruing
to it to the date of such termination or removal.

          10. Liens.
The Administrator will not directly or indirectly create, allow or suffer to
exist any Lien on the Collateral other than Permitted Liens.

          11. Notices.
All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall
be delivered or mailed by registered or certified first-class United States
mail, postage prepaid, hand delivery, prepaid courier service, by facsimile or,
if so provided on Schedule II to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, by
electronic transmission, and addressed in each case as specified on Schedule
II to the Sale and Servicing Agreement or at such other address as shall be
designated by any of the specified addressees in a written notice to the other
parties hereto. Delivery will be deemed to have been given and made: (i) upon

first-class United States mail, postage prepaid, three days after deposit in
the mail, (ii) in the case of a facsimile, when receipt is confirmed by

 12. Amendments.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (a) Any
 term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by the Administrator
 without the consent of the Indenture Trustee, any Noteholder, the Issuer, the
 Owner Trustee or any other Person subject to subsections (e) and (f)
 of this Section 12 and the satisfaction of one of the following
 conditions:

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
           (i) the
 Administrator delivers to the Indenture Trustee (a) an Opinion of Counsel to
 the effect that such amendment will not materially and adversely affect the interests
 of the Noteholders; and (b) an Officer’s Certificate of the Administrator to
 the effect that such amendment will not materially or adversely affect the
 interests of the Noteholders; or

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
           (ii) the
 Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to such amendment and the

 Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to such amendment.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (b) This
 Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Issuer and the
 Administrator, with the consent of the Holders of Notes evidencing not less
 than a majority of the Outstanding Note Balance of the Controlling Class, 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 the Noteholders. It will not be necessary for the
 consent of Noteholders to approve the particular form of any proposed
 amendment or consent, but it will be sufficient if such consent approves the
 substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents (and any other
 consents of Noteholders provided for in this Agreement) and of evidencing the
 authorization of the execution thereof by Noteholders will be subject to such
 reasonable requirements as the Indenture Trustee may prescribe, including the
 establishment of record dates pursuant to the Note Depository Agreement.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (c) Prior
 to the execution of any amendment pursuant to this Section 12, the

 amendment to each Rating Agency and the Owner Trustee; and promptly after the
 execution of any such amendment or consent, the Administrator shall furnish a
 copy of such amendment or consent to each Rating Agency, the Owner Trustee
 and the Indenture Trustee; provided, that no amendment pursuant to
 this Section 12 shall be effective which affects the rights,
 protections or duties of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee without
 the prior written consent of such Person (which consent shall not be
 unreasonably withheld or delayed). 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (d) Prior
 to the execution of any amendment pursuant to this Section 12, the

 amendment which adversely affects the Owner Trustee’s or the Indenture
 Trustee’s, as applicable, own rights, privileges, indemnities, duties or
 obligations under this Agreement.

its creditors generally, any party hereto or any other creditor of such
Bankruptcy Remote Party, and (ii) such party shall not commence, join with any
other Person in commencing or institute with any other Person any Proceeding
against such Bankruptcy Remote Party under any bankruptcy, reorganization,
liquidation or insolvency law or statute now or hereafter in effect in any
jurisdiction; provided, that the foregoing shall in no way limit the
rights of the parties hereto to pursue any other creditor rights or remedies
that such Persons may have against the Issuer under applicable law.

          22. Limitation
of Liability of Owner Trustee. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to
the contrary, this Agreement has been executed and delivered by Wells Fargo
Delaware Trust Company, National Association, not in its individual capacity
but solely as Owner Trustee, and in no event shall it have any liability for
the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations of
