Agreements, any insurance policies or any agreement or instrument
relating to any of them.

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES
SECTION 3.01
Duties of the Servicer . (a) The Servicer is hereby
appointed and authorized to act as agent for the Owner of the
Receivables and in such capacity shall manage, service, administer
and make collections on the Receivables with reasonable care, using
that degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with
respect to comparable motor vehicle related receivables that it
services for itself or others. The Servicer hereby accepts such
appointment and authorization and agrees to perform the duties of
Servicer with respect to the Receivables set forth herein and in
the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements.
(b) The
Servicer’s duties shall include collection and posting of all
payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors, investigating
delinquencies, sending payment coupons to Obligors, reporting tax
information to Obligors, policing the collateral, accounting for
collections and furnishing monthly and annual statements to the
Owner of any Receivables with respect to distributions, generating
federal income tax information and performing the other duties
specified herein. Subject to the provisions of
Section 3.02 , the Servicer shall follow its customary
standards, policies and procedures and shall have full power and
authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection
with such managing, servicing, administration and collection that
it may deem necessary or desirable.
(c) Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer is hereby
authorized and empowered by the Owner of the Receivables, pursuant
to this Section 3.01 , to execute and deliver, on
behalf of all Interested Parties, or any of them, any and all
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full
release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with
respect to the Receivables and the Financed Vehicles. The Servicer
is hereby authorized to commence, in its own name or in the name of
the Owner of such Receivable a legal proceeding, whether through
judicial process or (with respect to repossession of a Financed
Vehicle) non-judicial process, to enforce a Liquidating Receivable
as contemplated by Section 3.04 , to enforce all obligations
of GMAC and CARI under this Agreement and under the Further
Transfer and Servicing Agreements or to commence or participate in
a legal proceeding (including a bankruptcy case) relating to or
involving a Receivable or a Liquidating Receivable. If the Servicer
commences or participates in such a legal proceeding in its own
name, the Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Owner
of the Receivables pursuant to this
4
Section
3.01 to obtain possession
of the related Financed Vehicle and immediately and without further
action on the part of the Owner or the Servicer, the Owner of such
Receivable shall thereupon automatically assign in trust such
Receivable and the security interest in the related Financed
Vehicle to the Servicer for the benefit of the Interested Parties
for purposes of commencing or participating in any such proceeding
as a party or claimant. Upon such automatic assignment, the
Servicer will be, and will have all the rights and duties of, a
secured party under the UCC and other applicable law with respect
to such Receivable and the related Financed Vehicle. At the
Servicer’s request from time to time, the Owner of a
Receivable assigned under this Section 3.01 shall provide
the Servicer with evidence of the assignment in trust for the
benefit of the Interested Parties as may be reasonably necessary
for the Servicer to take any of the actions set forth in the
following sentence.
(d) The
Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Owner of a
Receivable to execute and deliver in the Servicer’s name any
notices, demands, claims, complaints, responses, affidavits or
other documents or instruments in connection with any such
proceeding. Any Owner of Receivables shall furnish the Servicer
with any powers of attorney and other documents and take any other
steps which the Servicer may deem necessary or appropriate to
enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative
duties under this Agreement and the Further Transfer and Servicing
Agreements. Except to the extent required by the preceding two
sentences, the authority and rights granted to the Servicer in this
Section 3.01 shall be nonexclusive and shall not be
construed to be in derogation of the retention by the Owner of a
Receivable of equivalent authority and rights.
SECTION 3.02
Collection of Receivable Payments . 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 practices, policies
and procedures as it follows with respect to comparable motor
vehicle related receivables that it services for itself or others
in connection therewith. Except as provided in
Section 3.07(a)(iii) , the Servicer is hereby
authorized to grant extensions, rebates or adjustments on a
Receivable without the prior consent of the Owner of such
Receivable. The Servicer is authorized in its discretion to waive
any prepayment charge, late payment charge or any other fees that
may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing such
Receivable.
SECTION 3.03
Rebates on Full Prepayments on Scheduled Interest
Receivables . If the amount of a full Prepayment by an Obligor
under a Scheduled Interest Receivable, after adjustment for the
Rebate, is less than the amount that would be payable under the
actuarial method if a full Prepayment were made at the end of the
billing month under such Scheduled Interest Receivable, either
because the Rebate calculated under the terms of such Receivable is
greater than the amount calculable under the actuarial method or
because the Servicer’s customary servicing procedure is to
credit a greater Rebate, the Servicer, as part of its servicing
duties, shall remit such difference to the Owner of such
Receivable.
SECTION 3.04
Realization Upon Liquidating Receivables . The Servicer
shall use reasonable efforts, consistent with its customary
practices, policies and procedures, to repossess or otherwise
comparably convert the ownership of any Financed Vehicle that it
has reasonably determined should be repossessed or otherwise
converted following a default under the Receivable secured by the
Financed Vehicle. The Servicer is authorized to follow
such
5
customary
practices, policies and procedures as it follows with respect to
comparable motor vehicle related receivables that it services for
itself or others, which customary practices, policies and
procedures may include reasonable efforts to realize upon any
recourse to Dealers, selling the related Financed Vehicle at public
or private sale and other actions by the Servicer in order to
realize upon such a Receivable. The foregoing is subject to the
provision 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 discretion that
such repair and/or repossession shall increase the proceeds of
liquidation of the related Receivable by an amount greater than the
amount of such expenses. The Servicer shall be entitled to receive
Liquidation Expenses with respect to each Liquidating Receivable at
such time as the Receivable becomes a Liquidating Receivable (or as
may otherwise be provided in the Further Transfer and Servicing
Agreements).
SECTION 3.05
Maintenance of Insurance Policies . The Servicer shall, in
accordance with its customary practices, policies and procedures,
require that each Obligor shall have obtained physical damage
insurance covering the Financed Vehicle as of the execution of the
related Receivable. The Servicer shall, in accordance with its
customary practices, policies and procedures, monitor such physical
damage insurance with respect to each Receivable.
SECTION 3.06
Maintenance of Security Interests in Vehicles . The Servicer
shall, in accordance with its customary practices, policies and
procedures and at its own expense, take such steps as are necessary
to maintain perfection of the security interest created by each
Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle. The Owner of each
Receivable hereby authorizes the Servicer to re-perfect such
security interest on behalf of such Owner, as necessary because of
the relocation of a Financed Vehicle, or for any other
reason.
SECTION 3.07
Covenants, Representations and Warranties of the Servicer .
As of the Closing Date, the Servicer hereby makes the following
representations, warranties and covenants on which CARI relies in
accepting the Receivables hereunder and pursuant to the related
First Step Receivables Assignment, and on which the Issuing Entity
shall rely in accepting such Receivables and executing and
delivering the Securities under the Further Transfer and Servicing
Agreements.
(a) The
Servicer covenants that from and after the closing
hereunder:
(i)
Liens in Force . Except as contemplated in this Agreement or
the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements, the Servicer shall
not release in whole or in part any Financed Vehicle from the
security interest securing the related Receivable;
(ii)
No Impairment . The Servicer shall do nothing to impair the
rights or security interest of CARI or any Interested Party in and
to the Purchased Property; and
(iii)
No Modifications . The Servicer shall not amend or otherwise
modify any Receivable such that the Amount Financed, the Annual
Percentage Rate, the total number of Scheduled Payments (in the
case of a Scheduled Interest Receivable) or the number of
originally scheduled due dates (in the case of a Simple Interest
Receivable) is altered or such that the last Scheduled Payment (in
the case of a Scheduled Interest Receivable) or the last
scheduled
6
due date (in
the case of a Simple Interest Receivable) occurs after the Final
Scheduled Distribution Date.
(b) Upon
the execution of this Agreement and the Further Transfer and
Servicing Agreements, the Servicer represents and warrants to the
Issuing Entity and CARI that as of the Closing Date, in addition to
the representations and warranties in Sections 4.01 and
4.02 being true:
(i)
Organization and Good Standing . The Servicer has been duly
formed and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of its state of formation, with power and authority to own its
properties and to conduct its business as such properties are
presently owned and such business is presently conducted, and had
at all relevant times, and now has, power, authority and legal
right to service the Receivables as provided herein and in the
Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements;
(ii)
Due Qualification . The Servicer is duly qualified to do
business as a foreign entity in good standing, and has obtained all
necessary licenses and approvals, in all jurisdictions in which the
ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business
(including the servicing of the Receivables) requires or shall
