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, the Seller does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse (subject to the obligations herein), all of its right, title and interest 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 the Purchaser of any obligation of the 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 the Purchaser or disregard the separateness of the 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 the Seller and the 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”), the Seller hereby grants, and the parties intend that the 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 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 the Seller and the Purchaser represents and warrants as to itself that each remittance of collections by the Seller to the Purchaser hereunder will have been (i) in payment of a debt incurred by the Seller in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Seller and the Purchaser and (ii) made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Seller and the Purchaser.

Section 2.03. Costs and Expenses.

(a) The Seller will pay all expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and all expenses in connection with the perfection as against third parties of the Purchaser’s right, title and interest in and to the Conveyed Assets and the Purchaser agrees to pay expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

ARTICLE FOUR

SELLER’S COMPLIANCE WITH THE FDIC RULE

Section 4.01. Purpose.

(a) Each of the Seller and the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Receivables sold and transferred to the Purchaser by the 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 the 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 are intended to ensure compliance by the Seller of the FDIC Rule.

(b) As used in this Article, 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 the 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 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 participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel or otherwise, and agree that the provisions set forth in this Article 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 the Purchaser is advised by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee that either have determined that an amendment to this Article 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 the Issuer 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.

15

(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 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

16

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 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 5%, of the credit risk of the financial assets. This retained interest may be either in the form of an interest of not less than 5% 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 5% 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 of the sponsor (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.

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 Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders, and each of the Seller and the Purchaser, are authorized and entitled to amend Section 4.02(c), in accordance with and to the extent the Issuer, or the Servicer on its behalf, 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

17

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. Neither the inclusion of this Article 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, upon the occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to the Seller, a receiver or conservator will have any rights with respect to the Collateral.

ARTICLE FIVE

COVENANTS OF SELLER

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

(a) The 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 Applicable Law fully to preserve, maintain and protect the interest of the Purchaser and the Trustees in the Receivables and the proceeds thereof. The Seller shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the 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 the Seller fails to perform its obligations under this subsection, the Purchaser or the Indenture Trustee may do so, at the expense of the 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 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) The Seller hereby authorizes the Purchaser, or the Issuer, to the extent the Seller has not done so upon request, to execute and file in the Seller’s name any document required by Applicable Law to change the 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) The 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 Section 5.01(a) seriously misleading within the meaning of the UCC, unless it shall have given the Purchaser and the Trustees at least 60 days’ prior written notice thereof and shall have promptly filed appropriate amendments to all previously filed financing statements or continuation statements.

(d) The Seller shall give the Purchaser and the Trustees at least 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.

19

(e) The 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, the Seller’s master computer records (including any backup archives) that refer to a Receivable shall indicate clearly the interest of the Purchaser, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in such Receivable and that such Receivable has been sold to the Purchaser, sold by the Purchaser to the Issuer, is owned by the Issuer and has been pledged to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. Indication of the interest in a Receivable of the Purchaser and the Indenture Trustee 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 the Seller or purchased by the Servicer.

(f) If at any time the 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, the 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 the Purchaser, sold by the Purchaser to the Issuer and pledged to the Indenture Trustee.

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

(h) Upon request at any time, if the Purchaser or either Trustee shall have reasonable grounds to believe that such request is necessary in connection with the performance of its duties under this Agreement, the Seller shall furnish to the Purchaser or such Trustee, as the case may be, within 30 Business Days, a list of all Receivables (by contract number and name of Obligor) conveyed to the 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) The 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 the Seller in respect of the Receivables as soon as practicable, but in no event later than two Business Days after receipt thereof.

Section 5.02. Other Liens or Interests. Except for the conveyances hereunder, the 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 the Seller shall defend the right, title, and interest of the Purchaser and the Issuer in and to the Conveyed Assets against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Seller.

20

Section 5.03. Indemnification.

(a) The Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, the Issuer, the Trustees, the Backup Servicer, if any, the Custodian, the Noteholders and the Certificateholders from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities arising out of or resulting from (i) any breach of any of the Seller’s representations and warranties contained herein, (ii) any action 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, or (iii) the failure of any Receivable, or the sale of the related Financed Vehicle, to comply with Applicable Law.

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