Section 4.02          Collection of Receivable Payments; Modifications of Receivables.

 

(a)          Consistent with the standards, policies and procedures required by this Agreement, the Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Receivables as and when the same shall become due, and shall follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to all comparable motor vehicle receivables that it services for itself or others. The Servicer is authorized in its discretion to waive any prepayment charge, late payment charge or any other similar fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing any Receivable.

 

 

 

(b)          Subject to Section 4.06, the Servicer may grant extensions, rebates, deferrals, amendments, modifications or adjustments on a 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 prior to the Class D Stated Maturity Date or (ii) reduces the APR or unpaid principal balance with respect to any Receivable other than as required by applicable law, it will promptly purchase such Receivable in the manner provided in Section 4.07.

 

(c)          The Servicer may, but is not 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 principal, interest or other items in accordance with the related documentation for such Receivables.

 

(d)          Subject to the provisions of Section 4.02(b), 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 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 result in a decrease in the aggregate amount of payments on the Receivables, prepayments or faster or slower timing of the payment of the Receivables.

 

(e)          Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer may refinance any Receivable and deposit the full Principal Balance of such Receivable into the Collection Account. The receivable created by such refinancing shall not be property of the Issuer. The Servicer and its Affiliates may also sell insurance or debt cancellation products, including products which result in the cancellation of some or all of the amount of a Receivable upon the death or disability of the Obligor or any casualty with respect to the Financed Vehicle.

 

(f)          Records documenting collection efforts shall be maintained during the period a Receivable is delinquent in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy. Such records shall be maintained on at least a periodic basis that is not less frequent than as set forth in the Credit and Collection Policy, 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 Credit and Collection Policy.

 

Section 4.03       Realization upon Receivables. Consistent with the standards, policies and procedures required by this Agreement and the Credit and Collection Policy, the Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to repossess or otherwise convert the ownership of and liquidate any Financed Vehicle securing a Receivable with respect to which the Servicer shall have determined that eventual payment in full is unlikely; provided, however, that the Servicer may elect not to repossess a Financed Vehicle if in its good faith judgment it determines that the proceeds ultimately recoverable with respect to such Receivable would not be greater than the expense of such repossession. In repossessing or otherwise converting the ownership of a Financed Vehicle and liquidating a Receivable, the Servicer is authorized to follow such customary practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable, consistent with the standard of care required

 

 

 

by Section 4.01, which practices and procedures may include reasonable efforts to realize upon any recourse to Dealers, the sale of the related Financed Vehicle at public or private sale, the submission of claims under an insurance policy and other actions by the Servicer in order to realize upon a Receivable; provided, however, that in any case in which the Financed Vehicle shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not expend funds in connection with any repair or towards the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless it shall determine in its reasonable judgment that such repair or repossession shall increase the related Liquidation Proceeds by an amount materially greater than the expense for such repair or repossession. The Servicer shall be entitled to recover all reasonable expenses incurred by it in the course of repossessing and liquidating a Financed Vehicle into cash proceeds, but only out of the cash proceeds of the sale of such Financed Vehicle, any deficiency obtained from the related Obligor or any amounts received from recourse to the related Dealer.

 

Section 4.04         [Reserved.]

 

Section 4.05       Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Vehicles. The Servicer shall, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures, 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 Basic 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 Servicer is hereby authorized 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. In the event that the assignment of a Receivable to the Issuer is insufficient, without a notation on the related Financed Vehicle’s certificate of title, or without fulfilling any additional administrative requirements under the laws of the state in which such Financed Vehicle is located, to perfect a security interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of the Issuer, the Servicer hereby agrees that the designation of HCA as the secured party on the certificate of title is in its capacity as agent of the Issuer.

 

Section 4.06        Covenants of Servicer. By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Servicer hereby covenants as follows (upon which covenants the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee rely in accepting the Receivables and delivering the applicable Securities):

 

(a)          Liens in Force. 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 (i) 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, (ii) in connection with repossession and sale of the Financed Vehicle or (iii) as may be required by an insurer in order to receive proceeds from any Insurance Policy covering such Financed Vehicle;

 

(b)          No Impairment. The Servicer shall do nothing to impair the rights of the Trust in the property of the Trust;

 

 

 

(c)          No Amendments. The Servicer shall (i) not extend the date for final payment by the Obligor of any Receivable beyond the last day of the Collection Period prior to the Class D Stated Maturity Date; or (ii) reduce the APR or unpaid principal balance with respect to any Receivable other than as required by applicable law.

 

(d)          Safekeeping. The Servicer, in its capacity as custodian, shall hold, or cause its agent to hold, the Receivable Files for the benefit of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in accordance with its customary servicing practices.

 

Section 4.07         Purchase of Receivables Upon Breach. Upon discovery by any party hereto of a breach of any of the covenants set forth in Section 4.02, 4.03, 4.05 or 4.06 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 the failure to give such notice shall not affect any obligation of the Servicer under this Section 4.07. 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 purchase by the Servicer shall be at a price equal to the Purchased Amount. In consideration for such repurchase, the Servicer shall make (or shall cause to be made) a payment to the Issuer equal to the Purchased Amount by depositing such amount into the Collection Account in accordance with Section 5.04 on such Payment Date. Upon payment of such Purchased Amount 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, the Owner Trustee, the Certificateholders, the Noteholders and the Indenture Trustee.

 

Section 4.08         Servicing Fee. The Servicing Fee shall be payable to the Servicer on each Payment Date. The Servicing Fee shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. In addition, the Servicer will be entitled to retain all late fees, extension fees, non-sufficient funds charges and any and all other administrative fees and expenses or similar charges allowed by applicable law with respect to any Receivable. The Servicer also will be entitled to receive investment earnings (net of investment losses and expenses) on funds deposited in the Collection Account during each Collection Period. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities under this Agreement (including taxes imposed on the Servicer and expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports made by the Servicer to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee). The Servicer shall be required to pay all of the Indenture Trustee’s fees, expenses, reimbursements and indemnifications.

 

Section 4.09         Servicer’s Certificate. The Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, and the Depositor, with a copy to each Rating Agency, on or before the second Business Day prior to each Payment Date a Servicer’s Certificate containing all information necessary to make the distributions to be made on the related Payment Date

 

 

 

pursuant to Section 5.05 for the related Collection Period and such Servicer’s Certificate shall be certified by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer to the effect that the information provided is complete and no Servicer Termination Events have occurred. If any defaults have occurred, such Servicer’s Certificate will provide an explanation of such Servicer Termination Events. Receivables to be purchased by the Servicer or to be repurchased by the Seller and each Receivable that became a Liquidated Receivable shall be identified by the Servicer by account number with respect to such Receivable (as specified in the applicable Schedule of Receivables). At the sole option of the Servicer, each Servicer’s Certificate may be delivered in electronic or hard copy format.

 

Section 4.10         Annual Statement as to Compliance, Notice of Servicer Termination Event.

 

(a)          The Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, and each Rating Agency, within 120 days after the end of the Servicer’s fiscal year (or, in the case of the first such certificate, not later than April 30, 2015), an Officer’s Certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer, stating that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding 12-month period (or such shorter period in the case of the first such Officer’s Certificate) and of the performance of its obligations under this Agreement has been made under such officer’s supervision and (ii) to such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement throughout such period or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof.

 

(b)          The Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, and each Rating Agency, promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof, written notice in an Officer’s Certificate of any event that with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both would become a Servicer Termination Event under Section 8.01. Except to the extent set forth in this Section 4.10(b) and Sections 4.09 and 8.04 of this Agreement and Sections 3.07, 3.19 and 5.01 of the Indenture, the Basic Documents do not require any policies or procedures to monitor any performance or other triggers and events of default.

 

Section 4.11        Compliance with Regulation AB. The Servicer agrees to perform all duties and obligations applicable to or required of the Issuer set forth in Appendix A attached hereto and made a part hereof in all respects and makes the representations and warranties therein applicable to it.

 

Section 4.12        Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding Receivables. The Servicer shall provide to representatives of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Certificateholders reasonable access to the documentation regarding the Receivables and the related Trust property. The Servicer will provide such access to any Noteholder only in such cases where the Servicer shall be required by applicable statutes or regulations to permit a Noteholder to review such documentation. In each case, access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during the normal business hours at the offices of the

 

 

 

Servicer. Nothing in this Section shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section.

 

Section 4.13        Term of Servicer. The Servicer hereby covenants and agrees to act as Servicer under, and for the term of, this Agreement, subject to the provisions of Sections 7.03 and 7.06.

 

Section 4.14        Annual Independent Accountants’ Report. For so long as the Issuer is subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, the Servicer shall cause a firm of independent certified public accountants, which may also render other services to the Servicer or its Affiliates, to deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, and each Rating Agency, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year (or, in the case of the first such report, not later than April 30, 2015), a report addressed to the Board of Directors of the Servicer, the Owner Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee, to the effect that such firm has audited the books and records of the Servicer and issued its report thereon and that (a) such audit was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and accordingly included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as such firm considered necessary in the circumstances and (b) the firm is independent of the Depositor and the Servicer within the meaning of the Code of Professional Ethics of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

 

Section 4.15        Reports to the Commission. The Servicer shall, or shall cause the Depositor to, on behalf of the Issuer, execute and cause to be filed with the Commission any periodic reports required to be filed with respect to the issuance of the Notes under the provisions of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. The Depositor shall, at its expense, cooperate in any reasonable request made by the Servicer in connection with such filings.

 

Section 4.16         Compensation of Indenture Trustee. The Servicer will:

 

(a)          pay the Indenture Trustee (and any separate trustee or co-trustee appointed pursuant to Section 6.11 of the Indenture (a “Separate Trustee”)) from time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered by the Indenture Trustee or Separate Trustee, as the case may be, under the Indenture (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);

 

(b)          except as otherwise expressly provided in the Indenture, reimburse the Indenture Trustee or any Separate Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Indenture Trustee or Separate Trustee, as the case may be, in accordance with any provision of the Indenture (including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith;

 

(c)          indemnify the Indenture Trustee and any Separate Trustee and their respective agents for, and hold them harmless against, any losses, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the transactions contemplated by the Indenture and the other Basic

 

 

 

Documents, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties under the Indenture; and

 

(d)          indemnify the Owner Trustee and its agents, successors, assigns and servants in accordance with Section 8.02 of the Trust Agreement to the extent that amounts thereunder have not been paid pursuant to Section 5.05 of this Agreement.

Section 5.01         Accounts.

 

(a)               (i)          On or prior to the Closing Date, the Servicer shall establish, or cause to be established, an account with and in the name of the Indenture Trustee (the “Collection Account”), which shall be maintained as an Eligible Account and shall bear a designation clearly indicating that the amounts deposited thereto are held for the benefit of the Noteholders.

 

(ii)         The Issuer, for the benefit of the Noteholders, shall cause the Servicer to establish with and maintain 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.

 

(iii)        [Reserved.]

 

(iv)        Funds on deposit in the Reserve Account, shall be invested by the Indenture Trustee in Eligible Investments selected in writing by the Servicer; provided, however, that if the Servicer fails to select any Eligible Investment, such funds shall remain uninvested. All such Eligible Investments shall be held by the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and/or the Certificateholders, as applicable. Unless the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied (other than with respect to Standard & Poor’s, but with satisfaction of the Rating Agency Notification with respect to Standard & Poor’s if Standard & Poor’s is rating any Outstanding Class of Notes) with respect to different investments, funds on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments that will mature so that such funds will be available on the Business Day preceding the next Payment Date. Funds deposited in the Reserve Account, upon the maturity of any Eligible Investments on a day which immediately precedes a Payment Date, are not required to be invested overnight.

 

(v)         Funds on deposit in the Collection Account shall be invested by the Indenture Trustee in Eligible Investments selected in writing by the Servicer; provided, however, that if the Servicer fails to select any Eligible Investments, such funds shall remain uninvested. All such Eligible Investments

 

 

 

shall be held by the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and/or the Certificateholders, as applicable. Unless the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied (other than with respect to Standard & Poor’s, but with satisfaction of the Rating Agency Notification with respect to Standard & Poor’s if Standard & Poor’s is rating any Outstanding Class of Notes) with respect to different investments, funds on deposit in the Collection Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments that will mature so that such funds will be available on the Business Day preceding the next Payment Date. Investment earnings on funds deposited in the Collection Account, net of losses and investment expenses, shall be released to the Servicer on each Payment Date and shall be the property of the Servicer.

 

(vi)        Except as otherwise provided hereunder or agreed in writing among the parties hereto, the Servicer shall retain the authority to institute, participate and join in any plan of reorganization, readjustment, merger or consolidation with respect to the issuer of any securities held in the Collection Account or the Reserve Account, and, in general, to exercise each and every other power or right with respect to each such asset or investment as individuals generally have and enjoy with respect to their own assets and investment, including power to vote upon any securities.

 

(b)          (i) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds received and all funds on deposit from time to time in the Trust Accounts and in all proceeds thereof. The Trust Accounts shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders, as the case may be. If, at any time, a Trust Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Indenture Trustee (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall within ten (10) Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed 15 calendar days, as to which the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied (other than with respect to Standard & Poor’s, but with satisfaction of the Rating Agency Notification with respect to Standard & Poor’s if Standard & Poor’s is rating any Outstanding Class of Notes)) establish a new Trust Account as an Eligible Account and shall transfer any cash or any investments from the account that is no longer an Eligible Account to the Trust Account. Neither the Servicer nor the Indenture Trustee shall in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in any Trust Account resulting from any investment loss in any Eligible Investment.

 

(ii)         The Servicer shall have the power, revocable by the Indenture Trustee or by the Owner Trustee with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, to instruct the Indenture Trustee in writing to make withdrawals and payments from the Trust Accounts and the Certificate Distribution Account for the purpose of withdrawing any amounts deposited in error into such accounts.

 

(c)          Except for the Collection Account, the Reserve Account and the Certificate Distribution Account, there are no accounts required to be maintained under the Basic Documents. No checks shall be issued, printed or honored with respect to the Collection Account or the Reserve Account.

 

 

 

Section 5.02 Application of Collections. All payments received from or on behalf of an Obligor during each Collection Period with respect to each Receivable (other than a Purchased Receivable) shall be applied to interest and principal in accordance with the Simple Interest Method. The Servicer shall make all deposits of Collections and other Available Amounts received into the Collection Account on the second Business Day following receipt thereof. However, so long as the Monthly Remittance Condition is satisfied, the Servicer may retain such amounts received during a Collection Period until one Business Day prior to the related Payment Date. The “Monthly Remittance Condition” shall be deemed to be satisfied if (i) HCA or one of its Affiliates is the Servicer, (ii) no Servicer Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and (iii) HCA has a short-term debt rating of at least “F-1” from Fitch and “A-1” from Standard & Poor’s. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer may remit Collections to the Collection Account on any other alternate remittance schedule (but not later than the Business Day prior to the related Payment Date) if the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied (other than with respect to Standard & Poor’s, but with satisfaction of the Rating Agency Notification with respect to Standard & Poor’s if Standard & Poor’s is rating any Outstanding Class of Notes), with respect to such alternate remittance schedule. Pending deposit into the Collection Account, Collections may be commingled and used by the Servicer at its own risk and are not required to be segregated from its own funds.

 

Section 5.03         Property of the Trust. All payments and other proceeds of any type and from any source on or with respect to the Receivables shall be the property of the Trust, subject to the Lien of the Indenture and the rights of the Indenture Trustee thereunder.

 

Section 5.04        Purchased Amounts. The Servicer or the Seller shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection Account, on the Business Day preceding each Payment Date, the aggregate Purchased Amount with respect to Purchased Receivables and the Servicer shall deposit therein all amounts to be paid under Section 4.07. Notice of this amount shall be provided in writing by the applicable party to the Indenture Trustee.

(iii)        to the Noteholders, for distribution pursuant to Section 8.02(d) of the Indenture, the First Priority Principal Distribution Amount, if any;

 

(iv)        to the Class B Noteholders, (a) the aggregate amount of interest accrued for the related Interest Period on each of the Class B Notes at the Class B Rate on the principal outstanding as of the previous Payment Date after giving effect to all payments of principal to the Class B Noteholders on the preceding Payment Date; and (b) the excess, if any, of the amount of interest payable to the Class B Noteholders on prior Payment Dates over the amounts actually paid to the Class B Noteholders on those prior Payment Dates, plus interest on any such shortfall at the Class B Rate to the extent permitted by law;

 

(v)         to the Noteholders, for distribution pursuant to Section 8.02(d) of the Indenture, the Second Priority Principal Distribution Amount, if any;

(ix)         to the Noteholders, for distribution pursuant to Section 8.02(d) of the Indenture, the Regular Principal Distribution Amount;

(xi)         to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, any reimbursements, expenses and indemnification amounts, in each case to the extent such reimbursements, expenses and indemnification amounts have not been previously paid by the Servicer and to the Securities Intermediary, any accrued and unpaid indemnification expenses owed to it; and

 

(xii)        to the Owner Trustee or its agent, any remaining Available Amounts indicated in the Servicer’s Report to be for deposit into the Certificate Distribution Account (as defined in the Trust Agreement) for subsequent distribution to the Certificateholder pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Trust Agreement.

(c)          In the event that the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account (after giving effect to all deposits thereto and withdrawals therefrom on such Business Day on a Payment Date) is greater than the Reserve Account Required Amount on any Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall distribute, upon written directions from the Servicer, all such amounts to the Certificateholder as per the monthly Servicer’s Certificate. Upon any such distribution to the Certificateholder, the Noteholders shall have no further rights in, or claims to, such amounts.

 

(d)          In the event that on any Payment Date the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be less than the Reserve Account Required Amount, the Available Amounts remaining after the payment of the amounts set forth in Section 5.05(b)(i) through (ix), up to an amount equal to such shortfall, shall be deposited by the Indenture Trustee, upon written directions from the Servicer, to the Reserve Account on such Payment Date.

 

 

 

(e)          Subject to Section 9.01, amounts will continue to be applied pursuant to Section 5.05 following the payment in full of the Outstanding Amount of Notes until the Pool Balance is reduced to zero. Following the payment in full of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes and the Certificates and of all other amounts owing or to be distributed hereunder or under the Indenture or the Trust Agreement to the Noteholders and the termination of the Trust, any amount then allocated to the Reserve Account shall be distributed to the Collection Account.

 

Section 5.07         Statements to Securityholders. On or before the second Business Day prior to each Payment Date, the Servicer shall provide to the Indenture Trustee (with a copy to each Rating Agency) for the Indenture Trustee to make available to each Noteholder of record as of the most recent Record Date and to the Owner Trustee for the Owner Trustee to forward to each Certificateholder of record as of the most recent Record Date a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit B.

 

No disbursements shall be made directly by the Servicer to a Noteholder, and the Servicer shall not be required to maintain any investor record relating to the posting of disbursements or otherwise.

 

The Indenture Trustee may make any such statement which it is required to provide to the Noteholders, including, without limitation, all information as may be required to enable each Noteholder to prepare its respective federal and state income tax returns (and, at its option, any additional files containing the same information in an alternative format), via its internet web site (initially located at www.sf.citidirect.com). In connection with providing access to the Indenture Trustee’s website, the Indenture Trustee may require registration and the acceptance of certain terms and conditions. The Indenture Trustee shall have the right to change the way such statements are distributed in order to make such distributions more convenient and/or more accessible to the above parties and the Indenture Trustee shall provide timely and adequate notification to the Noteholders regarding any such changes; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee will also mail copies of any such statements to any requesting Noteholder who provides a written request.

(b)          Due Qualification. The Depositor is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing, and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals, in all jurisdictions where the failure to do so would materially and adversely affect the Depositor’s ability to transfer the Receivables to the Trust pursuant to this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of the Receivables.

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

 

(e)          No Violation. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Basic Documents and the fulfillment of the terms of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents shall not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms or provisions of or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) a default under, the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Depositor, or any indenture, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it is bound; or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument, other than this Agreement and the other Basic Documents; or violate any law, order, rule or regulation applicable to the Depositor of any court or federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Depositor or its properties. There shall be no breach of the representations and warranties in this paragraph resulting from any of the foregoing breaches, violations, Liens or other matters which, individually or in the aggregate, would not materially and adversely affect the Depositor’s ability to perform its obligations under the Basic Documents or the consummation of the transactions as contemplated by the Basic Documents.

(i)          Solvency. The Depositor is not insolvent, nor will the Depositor be made insolvent by the transfer of the Receivables, nor does the Depositor contemplate any pending insolvency.

 

Section 6.02        Corporate Existence. During the term of this Agreement, the Depositor will keep in full force and effect its existence, rights and franchises under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified would materially and adversely affect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the Basic Documents, the proper administration of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, all transactions and dealings between the Depositor and its Affiliates will be conducted on an arm’s-length basis.

 

Section 6.03         Liability of Depositor.

 

(a)          The Depositor shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the Depositor under this Agreement (which shall not include distributions on account of the Notes or the Certificates).

 

(b)          The Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, by entering into or accepting this Agreement, acknowledge and agree that they have no right, title or interest in or to the Other Assets of the Depositor. To the extent that, notwithstanding the agreements and provisions contained in the preceding sentence, the Issuer, the Servicer, the

 

 

Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee either (i) asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit from, Other Assets, or (ii) is deemed to have any such interest, claim to, or benefit in or from Other Assets, whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to applicable provisions of insolvency laws or otherwise (including by virtue of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision having similar effect under the Bankruptcy Code), then the Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee further acknowledges and agrees that any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is and will be expressly subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full, which, under the terms of the relevant documents relating to the securitization or conveyance of such Other Assets, are entitled to be paid from, entitled to the benefits of, or otherwise secured by such Other Assets (whether or not any such entitlement or security interest is legally perfected or otherwise entitled to a priority of distributions or application under applicable law, including insolvency laws, and whether or not asserted against the Depositor), including the payment of post-petition interest on such other obligations and liabilities. This subordination agreement will be deemed a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee each further acknowledges and agrees that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of this Section 6.03(b) and the terms of this Section 6.03(b) may be enforced by an action for specific performance. The provisions of this Section 6.03(b) will be for the third party benefit of those entitled to rely thereon and will survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

Section 6.04        Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of, Depositor. Any Person (a) into which the Depositor may be merged or consolidated, (b) resulting from any merger, conversion, or consolidation to which the Depositor is a party, (c) succeeding to the business of the Depositor, or (d) more than 50% of the voting stock or voting power and 50% or more of the economic equity of which is owned directly or indirectly by any affiliate of HCA, which Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Depositor under this Agreement, will be the successor to the Depositor under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any document or any further act on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Depositor enters into any of the foregoing transactions and is not the surviving entity, (x) the Depositor shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that such merger, conversion, consolidation or succession and such agreement of assumption comply with this Section 6.04 and that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement relating to such transaction have been complied with and (y) the Depositor will deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either (A) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all financing statements and continuation statements and amendments thereto have been executed and filed that are necessary fully to preserve and protect the interest of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, respectively, in the Receivables, and reciting the details of such filings, or (B) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action is necessary to preserve and protect such interest. It shall be a condition precedent to any of the foregoing transactions that (1) the Rating Agency Condition shall be satisfied (other than with respect to Standard & Poor’s, but with satisfaction of the Rating Agency Notification with respect to Standard & Poor’s if Standard & Poor’s is rating any Outstanding Class of Notes) with respect to such merger, consolidation or succession shall not result in a reduction, withdrawal or downgrade of the then-current rating of each class of Notes and (2) the organizational documents of the surviving entity shall contain bankruptcy remoteness protections that are not materially

(e)          The Servicer shall compensate and indemnify the Indenture Trustee to the extent provided in Section 6.08 of the Indenture.

Indemnification under this Section shall survive the resignation or removal of the Servicer or the termination of this Agreement, and shall include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and reasonable expenses of litigation. If the Servicer shall have made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section and the Person to or on behalf of whom such payments are made thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Person shall promptly repay such amounts to the Servicer, without interest.

The Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer may conclusively rely in good faith on the written advice of counsel or on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising under this Agreement.

 

Section 7.05        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 Basic Documents to any of its Affiliates or (b) specific duties 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. The fees and expenses of any subservicer shall be as agreed between the Servicer and such subservicer from time to time, and none of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Securityholders shall have any responsibility thereof. For any servicing activities delegated to third parties in accordance with this Section 7.05, 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 7.06          Servicer Not to Resign.

 

(a)          Subject to the provisions of Section 7.03, the Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties imposed on it by this Agreement as Servicer except upon a determination that the performance of its duties under this Agreement shall no longer be permissible under applicable law.

No resignation of the Servicer shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer in accordance with Section 8.03. If no successor Servicer has been appointed within 30 days of resignation or removal, the Servicer, as the case may be, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for such appointment.

ARTICLE VIII.

DEFAULT

 

Section 8.01        Servicer Termination Events. For purposes of this Agreement, the occurrence and continuance of any of the following shall constitute a “Servicer Termination Event”:

 

(a)          Any failure by the Servicer to deposit into any Account any proceeds or payment required to be so delivered or to direct the Indenture Trustee to make the required payment from any Account under the terms of this Agreement that continues unremedied for a period of five Business days after written notice is received by the Servicer or after discovery of such failure by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer;

 

(b)          Failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform, in any material respect, any covenants or agreements of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement, which failure (i) materially and adversely affects the rights of the Securityholders and (ii) continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after discovery of such failure by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer or after the date on which written notice of such failure requiring the same to be remedied shall have been given to the Servicer by any of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or Noteholders evidencing not less than 50% of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class of Notes;

 

(c)          If any representation or warranty of the Servicer, in its capacity as Servicer, made in this Agreement shall prove to be incorrect in any material respect as of the time when the same shall have been made and the incorrectness of such representation or

 

 

 

warranty has a material adverse effect on the Issuer or the Noteholders and such failure continues unremedied for 90 days after discovery thereof by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer or receipt by the Servicer of written notice thereof from the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders representing not less than 50% of the Outstanding Amounts of the Notes; or

 

(d)          The occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to the Servicer;

 

provided, however, that a delay or failure of performance referred to under clause (a) above for a period of 10 days or clause (b) or (c) above for a period of 30 days will not constitute a Servicer Termination Event if such delay or failure was caused by force majeure or other similar occurrence.

 

Section 8.02         Consequences of a Servicer Termination Event. If a Servicer Termination Event shall occur, the Indenture Trustee or Noteholders evidencing more than 50% of the voting interests of the Controlling Class may, by notice given in writing to the Servicer (and to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Depositor if given by such Noteholders), terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority, power, obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer under this Agreement automatically shall pass to, be vested in and become obligations and responsibilities of the successor Servicer; provided, however, that the successor Servicer shall have no liability with respect to any obligation that was required to be performed by the terminated Servicer prior to the date that the successor Servicer becomes the Servicer or any claim of a third party based on any alleged action or inaction of the terminated Servicer. The successor Servicer is authorized and empowered by this Agreement to execute and deliver, on behalf of the terminated 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 notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the Receivables and related documents to show the Indenture Trustee (or the Owner Trustee if the Notes have been paid in full) as lienholder or secured party on the related certificates of title of the Financed Vehicles or otherwise. The terminated Servicer agrees to cooperate with the successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the terminated Servicer under this Agreement, including the transfer to the successor Servicer for administration by it of all money and property held by the Servicer with respect to the Receivables and other records relating to the Receivables, including any portion of the Receivables File held by the Servicer and a computer tape in readable form as of the most recent Business Day containing all information necessary to enable the successor Servicer to service the Receivables. The terminated Servicer shall also provide the successor Servicer access to Servicer personnel and computer records in order to facilitate the orderly and efficient transfer of servicing duties.

 

Section 8.03         Appointment of Successor Servicer.

 

(a)          On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 8.02 or upon the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.06, the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders evidencing more than 50% of the voting interests of the Controlling Class shall appoint a successor Servicer which shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement and shall be subject to all the

 

 

 

rights, responsibilities, restrictions, duties, liabilities and termination provisions relating to the Servicer under this Agreement, except as otherwise stated herein. The Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and such successor Servicer shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. In the event that the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders are unable to appoint a successor within thirty days of the date of the related notice of termination, the Indenture Trustee may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Servicer. If a successor Servicer is acting as Servicer hereunder, it shall be subject to termination under Section 8.02 upon the occurrence of any Servicer Termination Event after its appointment as successor Servicer. The original Servicer shall pay any and all fees and expenses incurred as a result of a transfer of servicing.

 

(b)          The Noteholders evidencing more than 50% of the voting interests of the Controlling Class shall have no liability to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer, the Depositor, any Noteholders, any Certificateholders or any other Person if they exercise their right to appoint a successor to the Servicer. Pending appointment pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the outgoing Servicer shall continue to act as Servicer until a successor has been appointed and accepted such appointment.

 

(c)          Upon appointment, the successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the predecessor Servicer and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities arising thereafter relating thereto placed on the predecessor Servicer, and shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee and all the rights granted to the predecessor Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

 

Section 8.04         Notification to Securityholders. Upon any termination of, or appointment of a successor to, the Servicer pursuant to this Article VIII, the Administrator shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Certificateholders and each Rating Agency, and the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Noteholders.

 

Section 8.05        Waiver of Past Defaults. The Noteholders evidencing more than 50% of the voting interests of the Controlling Class may, on behalf of all Securityholders, waive in writing any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except a default in making any required deposits to or payments from any of the Trust Accounts in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Termination 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 default or impair any right consequent thereto.

To exercise such option, the Servicer shall deposit to the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.04 an amount equal to the aggregate outstanding Pool Balance plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Receivables and shall succeed to all interests in and to the Receivables. The exercise of such option shall effect a redemption, in whole but not in part, of all outstanding Notes.

 

(b)          As described in Article 9 of the Trust Agreement, notice of any termination of the Trust shall be given by the Servicer to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee as soon as practicable after the Servicer has received notice thereof.

None of the terms of any Receivable has been waived, altered or modified in any respect since its origination, except by instruments or documents identified in the related Receivable File.

 

(xiii)       Lawful Assignment. No Receivable has been originated in, or is subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction the laws of which would make unlawful, void or voidable the sale, transfer and assignment of such Receivable under this Agreement, the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the pledge of such Receivable under the Indenture.

 

(xiv)      Title. It is the intention of the Seller that the transfers and assignments herein contemplated constitute sales of the Receivables from the Seller to the Depositor and that the beneficial interest in and title to the Receivables not be part of the debtor’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy law. No Receivable, other than the Receivables identified in the Reconveyance Documents, has been sold, transferred, assigned or pledged by the Seller to any Person other than to the Depositor or pursuant to this Agreement (or by the Depositor to any other Person other than to the Issuer pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement). Except with respect to the Liens under the Conduit Documents (which such Liens shall be released in accordance with provisions of the Reconveyance Documents), immediately prior to the transfers and

 

 

 

assignments herein contemplated, the Seller has good and marketable title to each Receivable free and clear of all Liens, and, immediately upon the transfer thereof, the Depositor shall have good and marketable title to each Receivable, free and clear of all Liens and, immediately upon the transfer thereof from the Depositor to the Issuer pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall have good and marketable title to each Receivable, free and clear of all Liens and, immediately upon the pledge thereof from the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall have a first priority perfected security interest in each Receivable.

 

(xv)       Title. To the extent that the transfer and assignment contemplated by this Agreement is deemed not to be a sale but to be of a mere security interest to secure a borrowing or such transfer is otherwise not effective to sell the Receivables and other property described in Section 2.01(a) hereof, the Seller shall be deemed to have hereby granted to the Depositor a perfected first priority security interest in all such assets, and this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.

 

(xvi)      Security Interest in Financed Vehicle. Immediately prior to its sale, assignment and transfer to the Depositor pursuant to this Agreement, each Receivable shall be secured by a validly perfected first priority security interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of the Seller as secured party, or all necessary and appropriate actions have been commenced that will result in the valid perfection of a first priority security interest in such Financed Vehicle in favor of the Seller as secured party.

 

(xvii)     All Filings Made. All filings (including UCC filings, except for UCC releases required to be filed in accordance with the Reconveyance Documents) required to be made in any jurisdiction to give the Issuer a first perfected ownership interest in the Receivables and the Indenture Trustee a first priority perfected security interest in the Receivables have been made.

 

(xviii)    No Defenses. No Receivable is subject to any right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim, dispute or defense, including the defense of usury, whether arising out of transactions concerning the Receivable or otherwise, and the operation of any terms of the Receivable or the exercise by the Seller or the Obligor of any right under the Receivable will not render the Receivable unenforceable in whole or in part, and no such right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim, dispute or defense, including the defense of usury, has been asserted with respect thereto.

 

(xix)       No Default. As of the Cutoff Date, the Servicer’s accounting records did not disclose that there was any default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Receivable (other than payment delinquencies of not more than 30 days), or that any condition exists or event has occurred and is continuing that with notice, the lapse of time or both would

 

 

 

constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Receivable, and there has been no waiver of any of the foregoing.

 

(xx)        Insurance. The Seller, in accordance with its customary procedures, has determined at the origination of the Receivable that the Obligor had obtained physical damage insurance covering the related Finance Vehicle at that time and, under the terms of each Receivable, the Obligor is required to maintain physical damage insurance covering the related Financed Vehicle and to name the Seller as a loss payee.

 

(xxi)       Final Scheduled Maturity Date. No Receivable has a final scheduled payment date after May 3, 2020.

 

(xxii)      Certain Characteristics of the Receivables. As of the Cutoff Date, (A) each Receivable had an original maturity of not less than 20 or more than 72 months and (B) no Receivable was more than 30 days past due as of the Cutoff Date.

 

(xxiii)     No Foreign Obligor. All of the Receivables were originated in the United States of America.

The Receivable Files that constitute or evidence the Receivables do not have any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed by the Seller to any Person other than the Depositor, except for such Liens as have been released on or before the Closing Date. All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Seller in favor of the Depositor in connection herewith describing the Receivables contain a statement to the following effect: “A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement, except as provided in the Receivables Purchase Agreement, will violate the rights of the Depositor.”

 

(xxvi)    No Fraud or Misrepresentation. Each Receivable was originated by a Dealer and was sold by the Dealer to the Seller, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, without fraud or misrepresentation on the part of such Dealer in either case.

 

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

 

 

 

(xxviii)    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 a Receivable or otherwise to impair the rights of the Depositor in any Receivable or the proceeds thereof.

 

(xxix)      No Liens. According to the Servicer’s records as of the Cutoff Date, no liens or claims have been filed for work, labor or materials relating to a Financed Vehicle that are prior to, or equal or coordinate with the security interest in the Financed Vehicles granted by the related Receivable.

 

(xxx)        APR. No Receivable has an APR of less than 0.00% and the weighted average coupon on the pool of Receivables is at least 3.40%.

(xxxiii)    Remaining Balance. Each Receivable has a remaining balance of at least $5,000.00 and not greater than $67,564.76.

 

(xxxiv)     New Vehicles. At least 94.57% of the aggregate principal balance of the Receivables is secured by Financed Vehicles which were new at the date of origination.

 

(xxxv)      No Repossessions. No Financed Vehicle has been repossessed on or prior to the Cutoff Date.

 

(xxxvi)     Dealer Agreements. Each Dealer from whom the Seller purchases Receivables has entered into a Dealer Agreement with the Seller providing for the sale of Receivables from time to time by such Dealer to the Seller.

 

(xxxvii)    Receivable Obligations. To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, no notice to or consent from any Obligor is necessary to effect the acquisition of the Receivables by the Issuer.

 

(xxxviii)    No Future Disbursement. At the time each Receivable was acquired from the Dealer, the Amount Financed was fully disbursed. There is no requirement for future advances of principal thereunder, and, other than in connection with Dealer participations, all fees and expenses in connection with the origination of such Receivable have been paid.

 

(xxxix)     No Consumer Leases. No Receivable constitutes a “consumer lease” under either (a) the UCC as in effect in the jurisdiction whose law governs the Receivable or (b) the Consumer Leasing Act, 15 USC 1667.
