Section 3.03

of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth
in part (b) of Exhibit A at the time such
representations and warranties were made which materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Issuer or the Noteholders,
the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice
thereof to the other parties hereto; provided that the

Seller hereunder. If the Seller does not correct or cure such
breach prior to the end of the Collection Period which includes the
60th day (or, if the Seller elects, an earlier date) after the date
that the Seller became aware or was notified of such breach, then
the Seller shall purchase any Receivable materially and adversely
affected by such breach from the Issuer on the Payment Date
following the end of such Collection Period. Any such purchase by
the Seller shall be at a price equal to the Purchased Amount. In
consideration for such repurchase, the Seller shall make (or shall
cause to be made) a payment to the Issuer equal to the Purchased
Amount by depositing such amount into the Collection Account in
accordance with Section 5.04 on such Payment Date. Upon
payment of such Purchased Amount by the Seller, the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee shall release and shall execute and deliver such
instruments of release, transfer or assignment, in each case
without recourse or representation, as shall be reasonably
necessary to vest in the Seller or its designee any Receivable
repurchased pursuant hereto. It is understood and agreed that the
right to cause the Seller to purchase (or to enforce the
obligations of Seller under the Receivables Purchase Agreement to
purchase) any Receivable as described above shall constitute the
sole remedy respecting such breach available to the Issuer, the
Noteholders, the Owner Trustee, the Certificateholders and the
Indenture Trustee. Neither the Owner Trustee nor the Indenture
Trustee will have any duty to conduct an affirmative investigation
as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase of
any Receivable pursuant to this Section 3.03 .
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF
RECEIVABLES
Section 4.01
Duties of Servicer . The Servicer, for the benefit of the
Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, shall manage, service, administer
and make collections on the Receivables and perform the other
actions required of the Servicer under this Agreement. The Servicer
shall service the Receivables in accordance with its customary
servicing practices, using the degree of skill and attention that
the Servicer exercises with respect to all other comparable motor
vehicle receivables that it services for itself and others. The
Servicer’s duties shall include the collection and posting of
all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors, investigating
delinquencies,
(2006-B Sale and Servicing
Agreement)
20
sending payment
statements to Obligors, reporting any required tax information to
Obligors, monitoring the Collateral, accounting for collections,
furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Owner Trustee and
the Indenture Trustee with respect to distributions and performing
the other duties specified herein. The Servicer also shall
administer and enforce all rights of the holder of the Receivables
under the Receivables and the Dealer Agreements to the extent and
in a manner consistent with its customary practices. To the extent
consistent with the standards, policies and procedures otherwise
required hereby and the Credit and Collection Policy, 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 the managing, servicing,
administration and collection of the Receivables that it may deem
necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing and subject to Section 4.02, the Servicer is hereby
authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of
itself, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the
Certificateholders and the Noteholders, 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 with respect to the Financed
Vehicles. The Servicer is hereby authorized to commence, in its own
name or in the name of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner
Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders, a legal
proceeding to enforce a Receivable pursuant to Section 4.03 or
to commence or participate in any other legal proceeding (including
a bankruptcy proceeding) relating to or involving a Receivable, an
Obligor or a Financed Vehicle. If the Servicer commences or
participates in any such legal proceeding in its own name, the
Indenture Trustee or the Issuer shall thereupon be deemed to have
automatically assigned the applicable Receivable to the Servicer
solely for purposes of commencing or participating in such
proceeding as a party or claimant, and the Servicer is authorized
and empowered by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer to execute and
deliver in the Indenture Trustee’s or the Issuer’s name
any notices, demands, claims, complaints, responses, affidavits or
other documents or instruments in connection with any such
proceeding. If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it shall
be held that the Servicer may not enforce a Receivable on the
ground that it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder
entitled to enforce such Receivable, the Owner Trustee shall, at
the Servicer’s expense and direction, take steps to enforce
such Receivable, including bringing suit in its name or the name of
the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholders or the
Noteholders. The Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall upon
the written request of the Servicer furnish the Servicer with any
powers of attorney and other documents reasonably necessary or
appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and
administrative duties hereunder.
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
(2006-B Sale and Servicing
Agreement)
21
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 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
.
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 4.05
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 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 HMFC 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):
(2006-B Sale and Servicing
Agreement)
22
(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
Maturity Date; or (ii) reduce the APR or unpaid principal
balance with respect to any Receivable other than as required by
applicable law.
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
Sections 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 Pu
