2.2 The Assignor represents and warrants to the Assignee that, immediately prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Assignment, (i) it is the owner of the Assigned Interest and the Assigned Obligations assigned hereby and (ii) it has not created any lien upon or with respect to the portion of the Assigned Interest and the Assigned Obligations assigned hereby.

2.3 The Assignee represents and warrants to the Assignor that it has been granted the opportunity to conduct all necessary due diligence with respect to the Assigned Interest, the Assigned Obligations and the Auto Lenders Agreement.

ARTICLE 3.

EFFECT OF ASSIGNMENT; CONSENT

3.1 From and after the Effective Date, the parties hereby agree that (i) the Assignee shall be a party to and be bound by all of the terms of the Auto Lenders Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of Assignor thereunder, to the extent such rights and obligations are related to the Assigned Interest or the Assigned Obligations, and (ii) the Assignor shall, to the extent of the assignment effected hereby, relinquish its rights with respect to the Assigned Interest and be released from its obligations with respect to the Assigned Obligations. The parties hereto further agree that any rights and obligations of Assignor under the Auto Lenders Agreement not constituting the Assigned Interest or the Assigned Obligations have been retained by Assignor, and Assignee shall have no rights thereto.

3.2 Auto Lenders hereby acknowledges and consents to the assignment and assumption described above, and agrees that the Auto Lenders Agreement shall remain in full force and effect after giving effect to such assignment and the provisions hereof.

3.3 Each of Auto Lenders, Assignor and Assignee agree that the Auto Lenders Agreement shall be deemed to be two separate agreements (i.e., an agreement between Auto Lenders and Assignee with respect to the Applicable Vehicles, and an agreement between Auto Lenders and Assignor with respect to all of the Vehicles other than the Applicable Vehicles) for purposes of applying the termination provisions of Section 11 of the Auto Lenders Agreement and for purposes of amending the Auto Lenders Agreement in accordance with Section 15 thereof.


3.4 Assignor hereby acknowledges that it is acting as servicer under the Auto Lenders Servicing Agreement on behalf of (and for the benefit of) Assignee to the extent of Assignee’s rights in the Applicable Vehicles and the Assigned Interest.

ARTICLE 4.

4.1 The parties hereto agree that Auto Lenders shall be an express third party beneficiary of the terms and provisions of this Assignment and may directly enforce the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder.

4.2 Assignee hereby represents and warrants for the benefit of Auto Lenders that Assignee is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Assignor, and that Assignor is a subsidiary of Susquehanna Bancshares, Inc. (“SBI”). Assignee acknowledges and confirms that, should a “change of control” occur at SBI (within the meaning of Section 12 of the Auto Lenders Agreement), then Auto Lenders shall be deemed to have the same rights under Section 12 of the Auto Lenders Agreement with respect to Assignee and the Applicable Vehicles as Auto Lenders has under such Section with respect to Assignor and Assignor’s retained rights and obligations under the Auto Lenders Agreement.

ARTICLE 5.

TAX OWNERSHIP OF APPLICABLE VEHICLES

5.1 Hann hereby covenants that it will not claim to be the owner of any of the Applicable Vehicles for federal, state or local income tax purposes for any time period on and after the Effective Date.
