 NOW,
THEREFORE, in reliance upon the foregoing recitals, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

ARTICLE I

ARTICLE II 
 PURCHASE AND SALE OF
RECEIVABLES 
 Section 2.01. Purchase and Sale of Receivables. Effective as of the Closing Date and immediately prior to the
transactions pursuant to the Indenture, the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and the Trust Agreement, Seller does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to Purchaser, without recourse (subject to the obligations herein), all
right, title and interest of Seller in and to the Conveyed Assets. 
 The sale, transfer, assignment, setting over and conveyance made
hereunder shall not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by Purchaser of any obligation of Seller to the Obligors, the Dealers or any other Person in connection with the Receivables and the other assets and properties conveyed
hereunder or any agreement, document or instrument related thereto. 
 It is the intention of the parties hereto that, other than for
federal, State and local income, single business or franchise tax purposes, the transfer and assignment of the Conveyed Assets on the Closing Date constitutes an absolute sale (and not a pledge to secure debt or other obligations of the Seller) of
the Conveyed Assets such that (i) the Conveyed Assets shall not be included in the bankruptcy estate of the Seller pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 541, (ii) the FDIC shall not, by exercise of its authority to disaffirm or repudiate
contracts under Section 13(e) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, reclaim, recover or recharacterize as property of the Seller any Conveyed Assets transferred by the Seller to Purchaser or disregard the separateness of Purchaser or the Issuer
from the Seller, and (iii) the transfer of Conveyed Assets pursuant to this Agreement shall comply with the requirements of 12 C.F.R. Section 360.6. If, notwithstanding the intention of Seller and Purchaser, such conveyance is deemed to be
a pledge in connection with a financing or is otherwise deemed not to be a sale (a “Recharacterization”), Seller hereby grants, and the parties intend that Seller shall have granted to the Purchaser, a first priority perfected security
interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in all of the items of the Conveyed Assets and all proceeds of the foregoing, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law and the Purchaser shall have
all of the rights and remedies of a secured party and creditor under the UCC as in force in the relevant jurisdictions. In the case of any Recharacterization, each of Seller and Purchaser represents and warrants as to itself that each remittance of
collections by Seller to Purchaser hereunder will have been (i) in payment of a debt incurred by Seller in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of Seller and Purchaser and (ii) made in the ordinary course of business or
financial affairs of Seller and Purchaser 

  
 2 

 Effective as of the Closing Date, the Seller shall retain possession of the Receivable Files in
its capacity as Custodian. 
 Section 2.02. Receivables Purchase Price. In consideration for the Conveyed Assets, Purchaser
shall, on the Closing Date, pay to Seller the Receivables Purchase Price. The “Receivables Purchase Price” shall be $237,142,901.07, payable in cash. 

Section 2.03. Expenses. The Seller shall pay (or shall reimburse the Underwriter and the Placement Agent or any other Person to
the extent that the Underwriter or the Placement Agent or such other Person shall pay), to the extent any of the amounts below have not been paid by Purchaser pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, including: (i) expenses incident to the
preparing, printing, reproducing and distributing of the Prospectus and the Private Placement Memorandum, (ii) the fees and expenses of qualifying the Notes and Certificates under the securities laws of the several jurisdictions and of
preparing, printing and distributing any blue sky survey (including related fees and expenses of counsel to the Underwriter and the Placement Agent), (iii) any fees charged by a Rating Agency in connection with the rating of the Notes,
(iv) the fees of DTC in connection with the book-entry registration of the Notes and Certificates, (v) the fees and disbursements of the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee and their respective counsels, (vi) the fees and
disbursements of the accountants, and (vii) the fees and disbursements of the Underwriter and Placement Agent and, as previously agreed upon, their counsel, in connection with the purchase of the Receivables hereunder and the issuance and sale

Person and actions required to be taken or performed by any Person in any jurisdiction to give the Purchaser a first priority perfected lien on, or ownership interest in, the Receivables and the proceeds thereof have been made, taken or performed.

 (y)     No Impairment. The Seller has not done anything to convey any right to any Person that would result in
such Person having a right to payments due under the Receivable or otherwise to impair the rights of the Purchaser in any Receivable or the proceeds thereof. 

(z)     Receivable Not Assumable. No Receivable is assumable by another Person in a manner which would release the
Obligor thereof from such Obligor’s obligations with respect to such Receivable. 

  
 10 

 (aa)     No Defenses. No Receivable is subject to any right of
rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense and no such right has been asserted or threatened with respect to any Receivable. 
 (bb)
    No Default. There has been no default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Receivable (other than a current payment delinquency of not more than 30 days as of the Cutoff Date) and
no condition exists or event has occurred and is continuing that with notice, the lapse of time or both would constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Receivable, and there has been no waiver of
any of the foregoing. No funds have been advanced by Seller or any Dealer or any person acting on the behalf of Seller or any Dealer for the purpose of enabling any Obligor to qualify under the preceding sentence. 

(cc)     Insurance. Each Receivable requires the Obligor to maintain a comprehensive and collision insurance policy
(i) in an amount at least equal to the lesser of (a) its maximum insurable value or (b) the principal balance due from the Obligor under the related Receivable, (ii) naming Seller as loss payee and (iii) insuring against
loss and damage due to fire, theft, transportation, collision and other risks generally covered by comprehensive and collision coverage. Each Receivable requires the Obligor to maintain physical loss and damage insurance, naming Seller and its
successors and assigns as additional insured parties and each Receivable permits, but does not require, the holder thereof to obtain physical loss and damage insurance at the expense of the Obligor if the Obligor fails to do so. No Receivable was
subject to force-placed insurance as of the Cutoff Date; 
 (dd)     Paid Ahead. As of the Cutoff Date, any
amounts paid ahead on the Receivables have been applied to the unpaid principal balance of the Receivables, as reflected in the Schedule of Receivables. 

(ee)     Interest Payable. With respect to each Receivable, interest will be charged and payable on the unpaid
principal balance of the Receivable since the date of the last payment on the Receivable (and in all cases will be charged since the Cutoff Date). 

(ff)      Underwriting Guidelines. Each Receivable has been originated in accordance with Seller’s
underwriting guidelines. 
 (gg)     Bulk Transfer Laws. The transfer, assignment and conveyance of the
Receivables and the related Receivable Files from the Seller to the Purchaser are not subject to the bulk transfer or any similar statutory provisions in effect in any applicable jurisdiction. 

(hh)     Geographic. No Receivable was originated by a Dealer located in any state other than California, Arizona,
Texas, Iowa, Kansas or Missouri. 
 The Seller or the Purchaser, as the case may be, shall inform the other party to this Agreement, the
Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of any breach or failure to be true of the representations or warranties made by the Seller in this Section 3.03; provided that the failure to give such notice
shall not affect any 

  
 11 

 
obligation of the Seller. If the breach or failure shall not have been cured by the 30th day (or if the Seller elects, an earlier day) after the date on which the Seller becomes aware of, or
receives written notice from the Purchaser or an assignee from the Purchaser of, such breach or failure, and such breach or failure materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer, or any Noteholders or Certificateholders, the Seller
shall repurchase each such Receivable from the Purchaser, or its successors or assigns, on or before the Payment Date immediately following the Collection Period which includes such 30th day at
the Repurchase Price for such Receivable as of such last day of such Collection Period. In consideration of the purchase of a Receivable hereunder, the Seller shall (unless otherwise directed by the Purchaser, or its successors or assigns, in
writing) deposit the Repurchase Price of such Receivable, no later than the close of business on such Payment Date, in the manner specified in Section 5.05 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Upon the payment of such Repurchase Price by the
Seller, the Purchaser or its assignee shall release and shall execute and deliver such instruments of release, transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse or representation as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller or its designee any
Receivable repurchased pursuant hereto. The sole remedy of the Purchaser and its successor or assigns with respect to a breach or failure to be true of the warranties made by the Seller pursuant to this Section 3.03, shall be to require the
Seller to repurchase Receivables pursuant to this Section 3.03. In addition to the foregoing and notwithstanding whether the related Receivable shall have been purchased by Seller, Seller shall indemnify the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the
Backup Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Custodian, the Noteholders and the Certificateholders from and against all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, which may be asserted
against or incurred by any of them as a result of third party claims arising out of the events or facts giving rise to such repurchase events. 

Section 3.04. Representations and Warranties as to Security Interests. The Seller represents and warrants to the Purchaser, with
respect to the Receivables, as of the Closing Date: 
 (a)     Security Interest. This Agreement creates a valid
and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Receivables in favor of the Purchaser, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from the Seller.

 (b)     Perfection. The Seller has taken all steps necessary to perfect its security interest against the
Obligor in the Financed Vehicles. 
 (c)     Chattel Paper. The Receivables constitute “tangible chattel
paper” or “electronic chattel paper” under the applicable UCC; no more than 10% of the Pool Balance is represented by Receivables constituting “electronic chattel paper,” and at least 90% of the Pool Balance is represented
by Receivables constituting “tangible chattel paper.” 
 (d)     Title. The Seller owns and has good
and marketable title to the Receivables free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person. 

  
 12 

 (e)     Acknowledgment. The Seller has received a written
acknowledgment from the Servicer that the Servicer is holding the loan agreements and installment sale contracts that constitute or evidence the Receivables solely on behalf and for the benefit of the Issuer. 

(f)     No Other Grants. Other than the security interest granted to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, the
Seller has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Receivables. The Seller has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Seller that include a
description of collateral covering the Receivables other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Purchaser hereunder or that has been terminated. The Seller is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings
against the Seller. 
 (g)     Notations. None of the installment sale contracts that constitute or evidence the
Receivables has any marks or notations indicating that it has been pledged, assigned, or otherwise conveyed by the Seller to any Person other than the Purchaser. 

The representations and warranties set forth in this Section may not be waived. The representations and warranties set forth in this Section will survive the
termination of this Agreement until the Indenture has been discharged. 
 ARTICLE IV 

SELLER’S COMPLIANCE WITH THE FDIC RULE 

Section 4.01. Purpose. 

(a)     Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that the Receivables sold and transferred to Purchaser by Seller
pursuant to this Agreement will be concurrently sold and transferred to the Issuer and the Issuer will concurrently issue Notes backed by the cash flow from the Receivables subject to the Indenture in a transaction intended to be a securitization as
that term is defined in the FDIC Rule. The Seller and Purchaser desire that the Receivables not be subject to reclamation, recovery, or recharacterization as assets of the Seller or the conservatorship or receivership estate upon the institution of
a conservatorship or receivership by the FDIC. The provisions of this Article IV are intended to ensure compliance by the Seller of the FDIC Rule. 

(b)     As used in this Article IV, but subject to the rules of interpretation specified in Section 1.02, references
to (i) the “sponsor” shall mean California Republic Bank, (ii) the “issuing entity” shall mean, collectively, the Purchaser in its capacity as the Depositor, and the Issuer, (iii) the “servicer” shall
mean the Servicer or Administrator, as applicable, (iv) “obligations” or “securitization obligations” shall mean the Notes, and (v) “financial assets” and “securitized financial assets” shall mean
the Receivables. 
 (c)     The purpose of this Article IV is to facilitate compliance by the sponsor with the
provisions of the FDIC Rule. The Seller, as sponsor, and the Purchaser, as an issuing entity acknowledge that the interpretations of the requirements of the FDIC Rule may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the FDIC or
its staff, consensus among 

  
 13 

 
participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agree that the provisions set forth in this Article IV shall have the effect and meanings that are
appropriate under the FDIC Rule as such meanings change over time on the basis of evolving interpretations of the FDIC Rule. 
 (d)
    If any provision of the FDIC Rule is amended, or any interpretive guidance regarding the FDIC Rule is provided by the FDIC or its staff, as a result of which Purchaser is advised by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee that
either have determined that an amendment to this Article IV is necessary or desirable, then the Seller agrees that it will cause this Agreement to be amended in accordance with such FDIC Rule amendment or guidance, provided that the Purchaser or
Trust delivers to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that (i) such amendment will not have a material adverse effect on the Noteholders, or (ii) such amendment is required to remain in compliance with the
FDIC Rule. 
 Section 4.02. Requirements of FDIC Rule. As required by the FDIC Rule: 

(a)     Payment of principal and interest on the securitization obligations must be primarily based on the performance of
financial assets that are transferred to the issuing entity and, except for interest rate or currency mismatches between the financial assets and the obligations, shall not be contingent on market or credit events that are independent of such
financial assets. 
 (b)     The sponsor, issuing entity, and/or servicer, as appropriate, shall make available to
investors, information describing the financial assets, obligations, capital structure, compensation of relevant parties, and relevant historical performance data set forth below: 

(i)      On or prior to issuance of obligations and at the time of delivery of any periodic
distribution report and, in any event, at least once per calendar quarter, while obligations are outstanding, information about the obligations and the securitized financial assets shall be disclosed to all potential investors at the financial asset
or pool level, as appropriate for the financial assets, and security-level to enable evaluation and analysis of the credit risk and performance of the obligations and financial assets. Such information and its disclosure, at a minimum, shall comply
with the requirements of Regulation AB or any successor disclosure requirements for public issuances, even if the obligations are issued in a private placement or are not otherwise required to be registered; provided, however, that information that
is unknown or not available to the sponsor or the issuing entity after reasonable investigation may be omitted if the issuing entity includes a statement in the offering documents disclosing that the specific information is otherwise unavailable;

 (ii)     On or prior to issuance of obligations, the structure of the securitization and the credit
and payment performance of the obligations shall be disclosed, including the capital or tranche structure, the priority of payments and specific subordination features; representations and warranties made with respect to the financial assets, the
remedies for and the time permitted for cure of any breach of representations and warranties, including the repurchase of financial assets, if applicable; liquidity facilities 

  
 14 

 
and any credit enhancements permitted by the FDIC Rule, any waterfall triggers or priority of payment reversal features; and policies governing delinquencies, servicer advances, loss mitigation,
and write-offs of financial assets; 
 (iii)     While obligations are outstanding, the issuing entity
shall provide to investors information with respect to the credit performance of the obligations and the financial assets, including periodic and cumulative financial asset performance data, delinquency and modification data for the financial
assets, substitutions and removal of financial assets, servicer advances, as well as losses that were allocated to such tranche and remaining balance of financial assets supporting such tranche, if applicable, and the percentage of each tranche in
relation to the securitization as a whole; and 
 (iv)     The nature and amount of compensation paid to
the originator, sponsor, rating agency or third-party advisor, any mortgage or other broker, and the servicer(s), and the extent to which any risk of loss on the underlying assets is retained by any of them for such securitization shall be
disclosed. The Issuer shall provide to investors while any obligations are outstanding any changes to such information and the amount and nature of payments of any deferred compensation or similar arrangements to any of the parties. 

(c)     Prior to the effective date of regulations required under Section 15G of the Securities Exchange Act, 15
U.S.C. 78a, et seq., added by Section 941(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (such regulations, the “Section 941 Rules” and such date, the “Section 941 Effective Date”), the sponsor shall
retain an economic interest in a material portion, defined as not less than five (5) percent, of the credit risk of the financial assets. This retained interest may be either in the form of an interest of not less than five (5) percent in
each of the credit tranches sold or transferred to the investors or in a representative sample of the securitized financial assets equal to not less than five (5) percent of the principal amount of the financial assets at transfer. This
retained interest may not be sold or pledged or hedged, except for the hedging of interest rate or currency risk, during the term of the securitization. 

(d)     The obligations shall not be predominantly sold to an affiliate (other than a wholly-owned subsidiary consolidated
for accounting and capital purposes with the sponsor) or insider of the sponsor. 
 (e)     The sponsor shall separately
identify in its financial asset data bases the financial assets transferred into any securitization and shall maintain an electronic or paper copy of the closing documents in a readily accessible form, a current list of all of its outstanding
securitizations and issuing entities, and the most recent Form 10-K, if applicable, or other periodic financial report for each securitization and issuing entity. The sponsor shall make these records readily available for review by the FDIC promptly
upon written request. 
 (f)      To the extent serving as servicer, custodian or paying agent for the
securitization, the sponsor shall not comingle amounts received with respect to the financial assets with its own assets except for the time, not to exceed two business days, necessary to clear any payments received. 

  
 15 

 Section 4.03. Effect of Section 941 Rules. Section 4.02(c) shall not be
construed to require the sponsor to retain any greater economic interest in the credit risk of the financial assets than is required to comply with the FDIC Rule and other Applicable Law. Accordingly, upon the Section 941 Effective Date and
thereafter, the sponsor shall be entitled to adjust the amount of credit risk that it retains, or the terms under which such credit risk is retained, to the greatest extent elected by the sponsor, so long as the sponsor’s retention shall be in
compliance with then Applicable Law. Within a reasonable time after the sponsor has so adjusted the amount or terms of the credit risk it retains, the sponsor shall give notice thereof to the Noteholders, and each of the Seller and Purchaser, with
the consent of the Indenture Trustee are authorized and entitled to amend Section 4.02(c), in accordance with and to the extent the Issuing Entity determines necessary or appropriate, to reflect the requirements of the Section 941 Rules.

 Section 4.04. Actions Upon Repudiation. In the event that the Seller becomes the subject of an insolvency proceeding and the
FDIC as receiver or conservator for the Seller exercises its right of repudiation as contemplated by paragraph (d)(4)(ii) of the FDIC Rule, the Servicer shall determine whether the FDIC in such capacity will pay damages as provided in such paragraph
(d)(4)(ii). Upon making such determination, the Servicer shall promptly, and in any event no more than one Business Day thereafter, so notify the Indenture Trustee. The Servicer shall, thereafter, comply with the directions of the Indenture Trustee
pertaining to such damages and the distribution of such damages. 
 Section 4.05. Notice . 

(a)     In the event that the Seller becomes the subject of an insolvency proceeding and the FDIC as receiver or
conservator provides a written notice of repudiation as contemplated by paragraph (d)(4)(ii) of the FDIC Rule, the party receiving such notice shall promptly deliver such notice to each of the Purchaser, the Seller, and the Indenture Trustee. 

(b)     If the FDIC (i) is appointed as a conservator or receiver of the Seller and (ii) is in default in the
payment of principal or interest when due following the expiration of any cure period hereunder or under the other Basic Documents, delivery of written notice to the FDIC requesting the exercise of contractual rights hereunder and under the other
Basic Documents shall be taken by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. 
 Section 4.06. Reservation of Rights. 

(a)     Neither the inclusion of this Article IV in this Agreement nor the compliance by any Person with, or the
acknowledgment by any Person of, this Article’s provisions constitutes an agreement or acknowledgment by any Person that, in the case of an insolvency proceeding with respect to the Seller, a receiver or conservator will have any rights with
respect to the Collateral. 

  
 16 

 ARTICLE V 

COVENANTS OF SELLER 

Section 5.01. Protection of Title to Conveyed Assets. Seller covenants and agrees with Purchaser as follows: 

(a)     Seller shall authorize and file such UCC financing statements and cause to be authorized and filed such UCC
continuation statements, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve, maintain and protect the interest of Purchaser, Owner Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee in the Receivables and the proceeds thereof. Seller
shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to Purchaser file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon as available following such filing. In the event that Seller fails to perform its obligations under
this subsection, Purchaser, or the Indenture Trustee may do so, at the expense of such Seller. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Seller hereby authorizes the Purchaser, or the Indenture Trustee to file a record or records (as defined in the
applicable UCC), including, without limitation, financing statements, in all jurisdictions and with all filing offices as each may determine, in its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable to perfect the security interest granted to the
Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement. Such financing statements may describe the collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as such
party may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the collateral granted to the Purchaser herein. 

(b)     Seller hereby authorizes the Purchaser, or the Issuer, to the extent Seller has not done so at their request, to
execute and file in Seller’s name any document required by applicable law to change to lien holder of record as to any Financed Vehicle to the Issuer if the Purchaser, or the Issuer determine such change is necessary to maintain the perfected
security interest of the Issuer in that Financed Vehicle. 
 (c)     Seller shall not change its name, identity or
corporate structure or jurisdiction of organization in any manner that would, could or might make any financing statement or continuation statement filed in accordance with paragraph (a) above seriously misleading within the meaning of the UCC,
unless it shall have given Purchaser, Owner Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice thereof and shall have promptly filed appropriate amendments to all previously filed financing statements or
continuation statements. 
 (d)     Seller shall give Purchaser, Owner Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee at least sixty
(60) days’ prior written notice of any relocation of its principal executive office or change in its jurisdiction or organization, if, as a result of such relocation, the applicable provisions of the UCC would require the filing of any
amendment of any previously filed financing or continuation statement or of any new financing statement and shall promptly file any such amendment or new financing statement. 

(e)     Seller shall maintain its computer systems relating to installment loan recordkeeping so that, from and after the
time of sale under this Agreement of its Receivables, Seller’s master computer records (including any backup archives) that refer to a Receivable shall 

  
 17 

 
indicate clearly the interest of Purchaser, the Issuer, and the Indenture Trustee in such Receivable and that such Receivable has been sold to Purchaser and by Purchaser to the Issuer and is
owned by the Issuer and has been pledged to Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. Indication of Purchaser’s, Trust’s, and the Indenture Trustee’s interest in a Receivable shall be deleted from or modified on Seller’s
computer systems when, and only when, the related Receivable shall have been paid in full, repurchased by Seller or purchased by Servicer. 

(f)     If at any time Seller shall propose to sell, grant a security interest in or otherwise transfer any interest in
receivables to any prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee, Seller 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 to Purchaser, sold by Purchaser to the Issuer and pledged to the Indenture Trustee. 

(g)    Seller shall, upon receipt of reasonable prior notice, permit Purchaser, Owner Trustee, and Indenture Trustee and
their respective agents at any time during normal business hours to inspect, audit and make copies of and abstracts from Seller’s records regarding any Receivable. 

(h)     Upon request at any time Purchaser, Owner Trustee, or Indenture Trustee shall have reasonable grounds to believe
that such request is necessary in connection with the performance of its duties under this Agreement, Seller shall furnish to Purchaser, Owner Trustee, and Indenture Trustee, within thirty (30) Business Days, a list of all Receivables (by
contract number and name of Obligor) conveyed to Purchaser hereunder and then owned by the Issuer, and pledged to Indenture Trustee, together with a reconciliation of such list to the Schedule of Receivables and to each of the Servicer’s
Monthly Certificates furnished before such request indicating removal of Receivables from the Issuer. 
 (i)     Seller
covenants and agrees to deliver in kind upon receipt to the Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement all payments received by or on behalf of Seller in respect of the Receivables as soon as practicable after receipt thereof by Seller, but in
no event later than two Business Days following such receipt. 
 Section 5.02. Other Liens or Interests. Except for the
conveyances hereunder, Seller will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on the Conveyed Assets or any interest therein, and Seller shall defend the right, title, and
interest of Purchaser and the Issuer in and to the Conveyed Assets against all claims of third parties claiming through or under Seller. 

Section 5.03. Indemnification. Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the
Backup Servicer, the Custodian, the Owner Trustee, the Noteholders and the Certificateholders from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims, and liabilities, arising out of or resulting from any breach of any of Seller’s
representations and warranties contained herein.

taken, or failed to be taken, by it in respect of any portion of the Receivables other than in accordance with this Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement. 

(b)     Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser, the Issuer, the Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the
Custodian, the Owner Trustee, the Noteholders and the Certificateholders from and against any loss, liability or expense imposed upon, or incurred by, Purchaser, the Issuer, the Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Custodian, the Owner Trustee, the
Noteholders or the Certificateholders as a result of the failure of any Receivable, or the sale of the related Financed Vehicle, to comply with all requirements of applicable law. 

(c)     Indemnification under this Section 5.03 shall include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of
litigation and shall survive payment of the Notes and the Certificate. The indemnity obligations hereunder shall be in addition to any obligation that Seller may otherwise have. 

Section 5.04. Nonpetition Covenant. Notwithstanding any prior termination of this Agreement, the Seller shall not, prior to the
date which is one year and one day after the termination of this Agreement with respect to the Issuer, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Purchaser or the Issuer to invoke the process of any court or government authority for the
purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Purchaser or the Issuer under any Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar
official of the Purchaser or the Issuer or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Purchaser or the Issuer and agrees that it will not cooperate with or encourage others to file a
bankruptcy petition against the Purchaser or the Issuer during the same period. This Section 5.04 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
