WHERE TO FIND INFORMATION IN THIS PROSPECTUS
SUPPLEMENT AND THE ACCOMPANYING PROSPECTUS
 
This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus provide information about the issuing entity and the notes offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.
 
We tell you about the notes in two separate documents:
 
 
the accompanying prospectus, which provides general information, some of which may not apply to your notes; and
 
 
this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific terms of your notes.
 
You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus including the information incorporated by reference. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with other or different information. If you receive any other information, you should not rely on it. We are not offering the notes offered hereby in any state where the offer is not permitted. We do not claim that the information in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus is accurate on any date other than the dates stated on their respective covers.
 
We have started with two introductory sections in this prospectus supplement describing the notes and the issuing entity in abbreviated form, followed by a more complete description of the terms of the offering of the notes. The introductory sections are:
 
 
Summary of Terms—provides important information concerning the amounts and the payment terms of each class of notes and gives a brief introduction to the key structural features of the issuing entity; and
 
 
Risk Factors—describes briefly some of the risks to investors in the notes.
 
We include cross-references in this prospectus supplement and in the accompanying prospectus to captions in these materials where you can find additional related information. You can find the page numbers on which these captions are located under the Table of Contents in this prospectus supplement and the Table of Contents in the accompanying prospectus. You can also find a listing of the pages where the principal terms are defined under “Index of Principal Terms” beginning on pages I-1 of this prospectus supplement and page I-1 of the accompanying prospectus.
 
Whenever information in this prospectus supplement is more specific than the information in the accompanying prospectus, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement.
 
If you have received a copy of this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus in electronic format, and if the legal prospectus delivery period has not expired, you may obtain a paper copy of this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus from the depositor or from the underwriters.
 
In this prospectus supplement, the terms “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Huntington Funding, LLC.
 
REPORTS TO NOTEHOLDERS
 
After the notes are issued, unaudited monthly servicing reports containing information concerning the issuing entity, the notes and the receivables will be prepared by The Huntington National Bank (also referred to as “Huntington”) and sent on behalf of the issuing entity to the indenture trustee who will forward the same to Cede & Co, the nominee of the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). See the accompanying prospectus under “Reports to Securityholders.”
 
 
S-iv

 
 
Owners of the notes may receive the reports by submitting a written request to the indenture trustee. In the written request you must state that you are an owner of notes and you must include payment for expenses associated with the distribution of the reports. The indenture trustee will also make such reports (and, at its option, any additional files containing the same information in an alternative format) available to noteholders each month via its Internet website, which is presently located at https://tss.sfs.db.com/investpublic. The indenture trustee will forward a hard copy of the reports to each noteholder promptly after it becomes aware that the reports are not accessible on its Internet website. Assistance in using this Internet website may be obtained by calling the indenture trustee’s customer service desk at (212) 250-4855.  The indenture trustee will notify the noteholders in writing of any changes in the address or means of access to the Internet website where the reports are accessible.
 
The reports do not constitute financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Huntington, Huntington Funding, LLC (the “depositor”) and the issuing entity do not intend to send any of their financial reports to the beneficial owners of the notes. The issuing entity will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) all required annual reports on Form 10-K, distribution reports on Form 10-D and current reports on Form 8-K. Those reports will be filed with the SEC under the name “Huntington Auto Trust 2012-2” and file number 333-183497-[ ].

Huntington will service the receivables held by the issuing entity and in such context will be referred to as the “servicer”.  The servicer will be entitled to receive a servicing fee for each collection period. A “collection period”, with respect to any payment date, is the calendar month (or, in the case of the first payment date, the two calendar months) immediately preceding the month in which such payment date occurs. The “servicing fee” for any payment date will be an amount equal to the product of (1) one-twelfth, (2) 1.00% and (3) the Net Pool Balance of the receivables as of the first day of the related collection period; provided, that with respect to the first payment date, the servicing fee will equal the sum of (i) the product of (x) a fraction equal to the number of days from but not including the cut-off date to and including September 30, 2012 over 360, (y) 1.00% and (z) the Net Pool Balance of the receivables as of the cut-off date (for the September collection period) and (ii) the product of (x) one-twelfth, (y) 1.00% and (z) the Net Pool Balance of the receivables as of October 1, 2012 (for the October collection period).  As additional compensation, the servicer will be entitled to retain all Supplemental Servicing Fees. The servicing fee, together with any portion of the servicing fee that remains unpaid from prior payment dates, will be payable on each payment date from funds on deposit in the collection account with respect to the collection period preceding such payment date, including funds, if any, deposited into the collection account from the reserve account.
 
Huntington is also the “sponsor” of the transaction described in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.
 
Originator
 
Huntington originated the receivables. In this context, we refer to The Huntington National Bank as the “originator.” On the closing date, the originator will sell all of the receivables to be included in the receivables pool to the depositor, and the depositor will sell those receivables to the issuing entity.

The Class A-1 notes, Class A-2 notes, Class A-3 notes, Class A-4 notes, Class B notes, Class C notes and Class D notes are being offered by this prospectus supplement and the prospectus and are referred to as the “offered notes.”  The Class A-1 notes, Class A-2 notes, the Class A-3 notes and the Class A-4 notes are sometimes referred to as the “Class A notes.”
 
The issuing entity will also issue non-interest bearing “certificates,” which are not offered hereby.  The certificates represent an equity interest in the issuing entity.  The certificates will not be offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.  The depositor may, at its discretion, retain the certificates or transfer them to one or more of its affiliates or to independent third parties.  The certificateholders will be entitled on each payment date only to amounts remaining after payments on the notes and payments of issuing entity expenses and other required amounts on such payment date. Information about the certificates is set forth herein solely to provide a better understanding of the offered notes.
 
The notes are issuable in a minimum denomination of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof (except for one note of each class of notes which may be issued in a denomination other than an integral multiple of $1,000).
 
The issuing entity expects to issue the notes on or about October __, 2012, which we refer to as the “closing date.”
 
INTEREST AND PRINCIPAL
 
To the extent available, the issuing entity will pay interest on the notes monthly, on the 15th day of each month (or, if that day is not a business day, on the next business day), which we refer to as the “payment date.” The first payment date is November 15, 2012. On each payment date, payments on the notes will be made to holders of record as of the last business day preceding that payment date (except in limited circumstances where definitive notes are issued), which we refer to as the “record date.”
 
Interest Payments
 
Interest on the Class A-1 notes will accrue from and including the prior payment date (or, with respect to the first payment date, from and including the closing date) to but excluding the following payment date.
 
Interest on the notes, other than the Class A-1 notes, will accrue from and including the 15th day of each calendar month preceding each payment date (or, with respect to the first payment date, from and including the closing date) to but excluding the 15th day of the month of the payment date.
 
Interest due and accrued as of any payment date but not paid on that payment date will be payable on the next payment date, together with interest on such amount at the applicable interest rate (to the extent lawful).
 
The issuing entity will pay interest on the Class A-1 notes on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed during the period for which interest is payable and a 360-day year. This means that the interest due on each payment date for the Class A-1 notes will be the product of (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Class A-1 notes, (ii) the applicable interest rate and (iii) the actual number of days from and including the previous payment date (or, in the case of the first payment date, from and including the closing date) to but excluding the current payment date divided by 360.
 
The issuing entity will pay interest on the notes, other than the Class A-1 notes, on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. This means that the interest due on each payment date for the notes, other than the Class A-1 notes, will be the product of (i) the outstanding principal amount of the related class of notes, (ii) the applicable interest rate and (iii) 30 (or in the case of the first payment date, the number of days from and including the closing
 

 
S-4

 

 
 date to but excluding the first payment date (assuming a 30-day calendar month)), divided by 360.
 
Interest payments on all classes of Class A notes will have the same priority. Interest payments on the Class B notes will be subordinated to interest payments on and, in specified circumstances, principal payments of the Class A notes. Interest payments on the Class C notes will be subordinated to interest payments on and, in specified circumstances, principal payments of the Class A notes and the Class B notes. Interest payments on the Class D notes will be subordinated to interest payments on and, in specified circumstances, principal payments of the Class A notes, the Class B notes and the Class C notes.
 
Principal Payments
 
The issuing entity will pay principal on the notes monthly on each payment date in accordance with the payment priorities described below under “—Priority of Payments.
 
The issuing entity will make principal payments on the notes based on the amount of collections and defaults on the receivables during the prior collection period.
 
This prospectus supplement describes how Available Funds and amounts on deposit in the reserve account are allocated to principal payments on the notes.
 
On each payment date, prior to the acceleration of the notes following an event of default, which is described below under “—Interest and Principal Payments after an Event of Default and Acceleration of the Notes,” the issuing entity will distribute funds in the principal distribution account to pay principal of the notes in the following order of priority:
 
 
(1)
first, to the Class A-1 notes, until the Class A-1 notes are paid in full;
 
 
(2)
second, to the Class A-2 notes, until the Class A-2 notes are paid in full;
 
 
(3)
third, to the Class A-3 notes, until the Class A-3 notes are paid in full;
 
 
(4)
fourth, to the Class A-4 notes, until the Class A-4 notes are paid in full;
 
 
(5)
fifth, to the Class B notes, until the Class B notes are paid in full;
 
 
(6)
sixth, to the Class C notes, until the Class C notes are paid in full; and
 
 
(7)
seventh, to the Class D notes, until the Class D notes are paid in full.
 
All unpaid principal of a class of notes will be due on the final scheduled payment date for that class.
 
Interest and Principal Payments after an Event of Default and Acceleration of the Notes
 
On each payment date after an event of default under the indenture occurs (other than, unless a sale of the receivables has occurred, an event of default based on the issuing entity’s breach of a covenant, representation or warranty) and the notes are accelerated, the priority of interest and principal payments on the notes described above will be modified.  After payment of certain amounts to the trustees and the servicer, interest on the Class A notes will be paid ratably to the noteholders of the Class A-1 notes, the Class A-2 notes, the Class A-3 notes and the Class A-4 notes, based on the interest entitlements of each such class as of such payment date.  Then, principal payments will be made first to the Class A-1 noteholders until the Class A-1 notes are paid in full.  Next, principal will be paid ratably to the noteholders of the Class A-2 notes, the Class A-3 notes and the Class A-4 notes, based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of each remaining class of Class A notes until these classes of Class A notes are paid in full. After interest on and principal of all of the Class A notes are paid in full, interest and principal payments, in that order, will be made to noteholders of the Class B notes.  After interest on and principal of all the Class A notes and Class B notes are paid in full, interest and principal payments, in that order, will be made to noteholders of the Class C notes. After interest on and principal of all the Class A notes, Class B notes and Class C notes are paid in full, interest and principal payments, in that order will be made to noteholders of the Class D notes.
 
On each payment date after an event of default under the indenture occurs and the notes are accelerated as the result of the issuing entity’s breach of a covenant, representation or warranty (but prior to the sale of the receivables), after payment of certain amounts to the

 
S-5

 

trustees and the servicer, interest on the Class A notes will be paid ratably to the noteholders of the Class A-1 notes, the Class A-2 notes, the Class A-3 notes and the Class A-4 notes, based on their interest entitlements as of such payment date, followed by interest on the Class B notes, then followed by interest on the Class C notes, and then followed by interest on the Class D notes.  Then, principal payments on each class of notes will be made first to the Class A-1 noteholders until the Class A-1 notes are paid in full. Next, principal will be paid ratably to the noteholders of the Class A-2 notes, the Class A-3 notes and the Class A-4 notes, based on the outstanding principal amount of each remaining class of Class A notes until these classes of Class A notes are paid in full. After the Class A notes are paid in full, the Class B noteholders will receive principal payments until the Class B notes are paid in full.  Next, the Class C noteholders will receive principal payments until the Class C notes are paid in full.  Finally, the Class D noteholders will receive principal payments until the Class D notes are paid in full. See “The Transaction Documents¾Rights Upon Event of Default” and “The Notes¾Priority of Payment Following an Event of Default” in this prospectus supplement.
 
If an event of default has occurred but the notes have not been accelerated, then interest and principal payments will be made in the priority set forth below under “—Priority of Payments.
 
Optional Redemption of the Notes
 
The servicer will have the right at its option to exercise a “clean-up call” and to purchase the receivables and the other issuing entity property (other than the reserve account) from the issuing entity on any payment date if the following conditions are satisfied: (a) the then-outstanding Net Pool Balance of the receivables as of the last day of the related collection period is less than or equal to 10% of the initial Net Pool Balance as of the cut-off date and (b) the sum of the purchase price for the assets of the issuing entity (other than the reserve account) and Available Funds for such payment date would be sufficient to pay (x) the amounts required to be paid under clauses first through ninth and eleventh in accordance with “—Priority of Payments” set forth below and (y) the outstanding principal amount of the notes (after giving effect to the payments described in the preceding clause (x)). We use the term “Net Pool Balance” to mean, as of any date, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all receivables (other than Net Loss Assets) of the issuing entity on such date. If the servicer, or any successor to the servicer, purchases the receivables and other issuing entity property (other than the reserve account), the repurchase price will equal the Net Pool Balance of the receivables plus interest accrued but unpaid on the notes through the last day of related collection period.
 
Additionally, each of the notes is subject to redemption in whole, but not in part, on any payment date on which the sum of the amounts in the reserve account and the remaining Available Funds after the payments under clauses first through ninth and eleventh set forth in “— Priority of Payments” below would be sufficient to pay in full the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all of the outstanding notes as determined by the servicer.  On such payment date, (i) the indenture trustee upon written direction from the servicer shall transfer all amounts on deposit in the reserve account to the collection account and (ii) the outstanding notes shall be redeemed in whole, but not in part.
 
Notice of redemption under the indenture shall be given by the indenture trustee at the written direction and expense of the servicer not later than 10 days prior to the applicable redemption date to each registered holder of notes.  All notices of redemption will state: (i) the redemption date; (ii) the redemption price; (iii) that the record date otherwise applicable to that redemption date is not applicable and that payments will be made only upon presentation and surrender of those notes; (iv) the place where those notes are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; (v) that interest on the notes will cease to accrue on the redemption date; and (vi) the CUSIP numbers (if applicable) for the notes.
 
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
 
The occurrence of any one of the following events will be an “event of default” under the indenture:
 
a default in the payment of any interest on any note of the Controlling Class when the same becomes due and payable, and that default continues for a period of two business days (to be extended to 5 days if such failure to pay is owing solely to circumstances caused by the indenture trustee, and the servicer has made the principal and interest deposits in accordance with the sale and servicing agreement and has provided the indenture trustee with timely instruction for the application of such funds, and such amounts are sufficient to pay the accrued and unpaid interest on such notes);
 

 
S-6

 

a default in the payment of the principal of any note when the same becomes due and payable at the related final scheduled payment date or the redemption date;
 
any failure by the issuing entity to observe or perform its covenants relating to corporate existence and qualification, negative covenants relating to sale of assets and incurrence of liens, merger and consolidation, other business, indebtedness, obligations of the servicer, making of loans or guarantees, capital expenditures, removal of the administrator, restricted payments, and notices for events of default;
 
any failure by the issuing entity to duly observe or perform any of its other covenants or agreements in the indenture, which failure continues unremedied for 30 days;
 
a breach of any representation or warranty by the issuing entity that remains uncured for 30 days;
 
the occurrence of certain events (which, if involuntary, remain unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive days) of bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or liquidation of the issuing entity.
 
The amount of principal required to be paid to noteholders under the indenture, however, generally will be limited to amounts available to make such payments in accordance with the priority of payments. Thus, the failure to pay principal on a class of notes due to a lack of amounts available to make such a payment will not result in the occurrence of an event of default until the final scheduled payment date or redemption date for that class of notes.
 
ISSUING ENTITY PROPERTY
 
The primary assets of the issuing entity will be a pool of motor vehicle retail installment sales contracts and/or installment loans that are secured by new and used automobiles and light-duty trucks. We refer to these contracts and loans as “receivables,” to the pool of those receivables as the “receivables pool” and to the persons who financed their purchases or refinanced existing obligations with these contracts and loans as “obligors.” The receivables were underwritten in accordance with the originator’s underwriting criteria.
 
The receivables identified on the schedule of receivables will be transferred by the originator to the depositor and then transferred by the depositor to the issuing entity. The issuing entity will grant a security interest in the receivables and the other issuing entity property to the indenture trustee on behalf of the noteholders.
 
The “issuing entity property” will include the following:
 
the receivables, including collections on the receivables after the cut-off date (the cut-off date for the receivables sold to the issuing entity on the closing date is August 31, 2012, which we refer to as the “cut-off date”);
 
security interests in the vehicles financed by the receivables, which we refer to as the “financed vehicles”;
 
all receivable files relating to the original motor vehicle retail installment sales contracts and/or installment loans evidencing the receivables;
 
any other property securing the receivables;
 
all rights of the originator under agreements with the dealers relating to receivables;
 
rights to proceeds under insurance policies that cover the obligors under the receivables or the financed vehicles,
 
all rights under Huntington Debt Forgiveness Policies;
 
all enforcement and other rights under the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable law in respect of any or all of the foregoing;
 
all present and future claims, demands, causes of action and causes in action in respect of any or all of the foregoing;
 
amounts on deposit in the accounts owned by the issuing entity and permitted investments of those accounts;
 
all rights of the issuing entity under the sale and servicing agreement, which includes an assignment of the rights of the depositor, as buyer, under the asset purchase agreement; and
 
the proceeds of any and all of the above.

STATISTICAL INFORMATION
 
The statistical information in this prospectus supplement is based on the receivables in the statistical pool as of August 31, 2012, which we refer to as the “Statistical Cut-off Date.” The statistical distribution of the characteristics of the actual receivables pool transferred to the issuing entity on the closing date may vary somewhat from the statistical distribution of the characteristics of the statistical pool contained in this prospectus supplement because the actual pool will be selected from the receivables in the statistical pool and other receivables owned by Huntington and certain receivables in the statistical pool may be prepaid or deemed ineligible prior to the closing date.  Any variance between the characteristics of the statistical pool and the actual pool will not be material.
 
As of the close of business on the Statistical Cut-off Date, the receivables in the statistical pool described in this prospectus supplement had:
 
an aggregate receivables balance of $1,311,152,019.24;
 
a weighted average contract rate of approximately 4.80%;
 
a weighted average original maturity of approximately 66 months;
 
a weighted average remaining maturity of approximately 60 months;
 
a weighted average FICO score of approximately 765;
 
a minimum FICO score of 660;
 
a maximum FICO score of 886; and
 
a weighted average LTV of 90.98%.
 
As of the Statistical Cut-off Date, the receivables in the statistical pool described in this prospectus supplement had an aggregate principal balance of $1,311,152,019.24.  As of the cut-off date, the receivables sold to the issuing entity on the closing date are expected to have an aggregate principal balance of approximately $1,000,000,000.
 
For more information about the characteristics of the receivables in the pool, see “The Receivables Pool” in this prospectus supplement.
 
In connection with the offering of the notes, the depositor has performed a review of the receivables in the statistical pool and certain disclosure in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus relating to the receivables, as described under “The Receivables Pool—Review of Pool Assets” in this prospectus supplement.
 
As described in “Origination and Servicing Procedures; Underwriting Criteria—Underwriting” in the accompanying prospectus, under Huntington’s origination process, credit applications are evaluated when received and are categorized as either automated-approval, automated-decline, recommend approve, recommend decline or investigate based on Huntington’s electronic decisioning model.  Huntington’s credit underwriters use their judgment in evaluating recommend approve, recommend decline and investigate applications.  Approximately 60% of the Net Pool Balance as of the cut-off date was categorized as automated-approval (and thus automatically approved), while approximately 40% of the Net Pool Balance as of the cut-off date was evaluated and approved by a Huntington credit underwriter in accordance with Huntington’s written underwriting guidelines. Approximately, 1.52% of the Net Pool Balance as of the cut-off date was approved by a credit underwriter after the application was systematically rejected or the scorecard results recommended rejection, and a credit underwriting exception was noted.
 
In addition to the purchase of receivables from the issuing entity in connection with the servicer’s exercise of its clean-up call option as described above under “—Interest and Principal—Optional Redemption of the Notes,” receivables may be purchased from the issuing entity directly or indirectly by the depositor or the originator, in connection with the breach of certain representations and warranties concerning the characteristics of the receivables, and by the servicer, in connection with the breach of certain servicing covenants, as described under “The Servicer.
 
PRIORITY OF PAYMENTS
 
On each payment date, except after the acceleration of the notes following an event of default, the indenture trustee will make the following payments and deposits from investment earnings on the collection account and reserve account and Available Funds in the collection account (including funds, if any, deposited into the collection account from the reserve account to the extent described in “Credit

 
S-8

 

Enhancement—The Reserve Account”) in the following amounts and order of priority:
 
first, to the servicer, the servicing fee for the related collection period and all unpaid servicing fees with respect to any prior collection period;
 
second, to the Class A noteholders, accrued and unpaid interest on the Class A notes, pro rata based on their respective interest entitlements;
 
third, to the principal distribution account for distribution to the noteholders, the First Allocation of Principal, if any;
 
fourth, to the Class B noteholders, accrued and unpaid interest on the Class B notes;
 
fifth, to the principal distribution account for distribution to the noteholders, the Second Allocation of Principal, if any;
 
sixth, to the Class C noteholders, accrued and unpaid interest on the Class C notes;
 
seventh, to the principal distribution account for distribution to the noteholders, the Third Allocation of Principal, if any;
 
eighth, to the Class D noteholders, accrued and unpaid interest on the Class D notes;
 
ninth, to the principal distribution account for distribution to the noteholders, the Fourth Allocation of Principal, if any;
 
tenth, to the reserve account until the amount of the funds in the reserve account is equal to the Specified Reserve Account Balance;
 
eleventh, to the principal distribution account for distribution to the noteholders, the Regular Principal Distribution Amount, if any;
 
twelfth, to the administrator, the owner trustee and the indenture trustee, accrued and unpaid fees and reasonable expenses (including indemnification amounts) due and owing under the sale and servicing agreement, the trust agreement, the administration agreement and the indenture, as applicable, which have not been previously paid; and
 
thirteenth, any remaining funds will be distributed to or at the direction of the certificateholders.
 
The final distribution to any noteholder will be made only upon surrender and cancellation of the physical certificates representing that noteholder’s notes at an office or agency of the indenture trustee specified in a notice from the indenture trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the issuing entity. If any notes are not surrendered for cancellation, any funds held by the indenture trustee or any paying agent for the payment of any amount due with respect to any note after the indenture trustee has taken certain measures to locate the related noteholders and those measures have failed, will be distributed to the issuing entity.
 
Amounts deposited in the principal distribution account will be paid to the noteholders of the notes as described under “The Notes—Payments of Principal” in this prospectus supplement.
 
For a description of the priority of payments after the acceleration of the notes following an event of default, see “—Interest and Principal” above and “The Notes—Priority of Payment Following an Event of Default.”
 
CREDIT ENHANCEMENT
 
The credit enhancement for the notes of any class provides protection against losses and delays in payment or other shortfalls of cash flow to the notes of that class. The credit enhancement for the notes will be the reserve account, overcollateralization, the excess interest on the receivables and, for each class of notes (other than the Class D notes), by subordination of all other classes of notes bearing a subsequent designation in alphabetical order. If the credit enhancement is not sufficient to cover all amounts payable on the notes, the losses will be allocated to the notes by maturity, with notes having a later scheduled final maturity date (beginning with the class of notes with the lowest seniority) generally bearing the risk of loss before notes having an earlier final scheduled maturity. See also “Risk Factors—Your share of possible losses may not be proportional” and “The Notes—Priority of Payments.
 
The credit enhancement for the notes will be as follows:
 
Class A notes
Subordination of principal payments of the Class B notes, which will have an initial principal amount of $15,000,000, the Class C notes, which will have an initial principal

 
 
S-9

 
 
 
 
 
amount of $24,500,000, and the Class D notes, which will have an initial principal amount of $18,000,000, overcollateralization, the reserve account and excess interest on the receivables.
 
Class B notes
Subordination of principal payments of the Class C notes, which will have an initial principal amount of $24,500,000, and the Class D notes which will have an initial principal amount of $18,000,000, overcollateralization, the reserve account and excess interest on the receivables.
 
Class C notes
Subordination of principal payments of the Class D notes, which will have an initial principal amount of $18,000,000, overcollateralization, the reserve account and excess interest on the receivables.
 
Class D notes
Overcollateralization, the reserve account and excess interest on the receivables.
 
Subordination of Payments
 
As long as the Class A notes remain outstanding, payments of interest on any payment date on the Class B notes, the Class C notes and the Class D notes will be subordinated to payments of interest on the Class A notes and certain other payments on that payment date (including principal payments of the Class A notes in specified circumstances), and payments of principal of the Class B notes, the Class C notes and the Class D notes will be subordinated to all payments of principal of and interest on the Class A notes and certain other payments on that payment date. If the notes have been accelerated after an event of default under the indenture (other than, unless a sale of the receivables has occurred, events of default based on the issuing entity’s breach of a covenant, representation or warranty), all payments on the Class B notes, the Class C notes and the Class D notes will be subordinated to all payments on the Class A notes until the Class A notes are paid in full.
 
See “The Transaction Documents—Priority of Payments May Change Upon an Event of Default” in this prospectus supplement.
 
Reserve Account
 
On the closing date, approximately $2,500,000 from the proceeds of the sale of the notes will be deposited into the reserve account (the  “reserve account”).  The “Specified Reserve Account Balance” is, on any payment date, approximately $2,500,000 (which is approximately 0.25% of the Net Pool Balance as of the cut-off date).
 
On each payment date, Available Funds will be deposited in the reserve account in accordance with the priority of payments described above until the amount on deposit in the reserve account equals the Specified Reserve Account Balance.
 
On each payment date, the issuing entity will withdraw funds from the reserve account to cover any shortfalls in the amounts required to be paid on that payment date with respect to clauses first through ninth under “—Priority of Payments” above.
 
On any payment date, if, after giving effect to all deposits to and withdrawals from the reserve account on that payment date, the amount in the reserve account exceeds the Specified Reserve Account Balance, then the excess will be transferred to the collection account and distributed on that payment date as Available Funds. See “The Transaction Documents—The Accounts—Reserve Account” in this prospectus supplement.
 
Overcollateralization
 
Overcollateralization is the amount by which the Net Pool Balance exceeds the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the notes. Overcollateralization means that there will be additional assets generating collections that will be available to cover credit losses on the receivables.
 
The issuing entity will make principal payments on the notes in an amount greater than the decrease in the Net Pool Balance until the outstanding principal amount of the notes is equal to the Net Pool Balance minus the Target Credit Enhancement Overcollateralization Amount. “Target Credit Enhancement Overcollateralization Amount” means, with respect to any payment date, the excess, if any, of: (1) approximately $9,000,000 (which is 0.90% of the Net Pool Balance as of the cut-off date) over (2) the Specified Reserve Account Balance.  As of the closing date, it is expected that there will be no overcollateralization as the Net Pool Balance as of the cut-off date is expected to be equal to the
 

 
S-10

 

aggregate outstanding amount of the notes as of the closing date.
 
Excess Interest
 
Based on the assumptions contained herein, more interest is expected to be paid by the obligors in respect of the receivables than is necessary to pay the related servicing fee and interest on the notes each month.  Thus, there is expected to be “excess interest.” Any excess interest will be applied on each payment date as an additional source of Available Funds for distribution in accordance with the “—Priority of Payments” described above.
 
5% CREDIT RISK RETENTION
 
The transaction is being structured in a manner that is intended to comply with the FDIC safe harbor as described in the accompanying prospectus under the heading “Material Insolvency Aspects of the Offerings—Certain Insolvency Considerations Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act—FDIC Safe Harbor Rule.” One of the requirements of the FDIC safe harbor is that the sponsor retain 5% of the credit risk with respect to the securitized assets.  That requirement may be satisfied by retention of a randomly selected pool of assets similar to the securitized assets.  The sponsor intends to satisfy the credit risk requirement of the FDIC safe harbor through such a retention of assets.  Those assets will not provide credit enhancement for the notes but their retention will provide the sponsor with similar exposure as the issuing entity to the underwriting standards that were used in originating the pool of receivables owned by the issuing entity.
 
TAX STATUS
 
Shearman & Sterling LLP, special federal income tax counsel to the depositor, will deliver an opinion stating that (i) for United States federal income tax purposes, the issuing entity will not be classified as an association taxable as a corporation and the issuing entity will not be treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation and (ii) the notes will be characterized as indebtedness for United States federal income tax purposes.
 
Each holder of a note, by acceptance of a note, will agree to treat such note as indebtedness for United States federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes.
 
We encourage you to consult your own tax advisor regarding the United States federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the notes and the tax consequences arising under the laws of any state or other taxing jurisdiction.
 
See “Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences” in this prospectus supplement and in the accompanying prospectus.
 
CERTAIN ERISA CONSIDERATIONS
 
Subject to the considerations disclosed in “Certain ERISA Considerations” in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, notes may be purchased by employee benefit plans and accounts. An employee benefit plan, any other retirement plan, and any entity deemed to hold “plan assets” of any employee benefit plan or other plan should consult with its counsel before purchasing the notes.
 
See “Certain ERISA Considerations” in this prospectus supplement and in the accompanying prospectus.
 
MONEY MARKET INVESTMENT
 
The Class A-1 notes will be structured to be eligible for purchase by money market funds under paragraph (a)(12) of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.  The applicability of that definition, however, depends on certain actions by the fund’s board of directors. Moreover, Rule 2a-7 includes additional criteria for investments by money market funds including additional requirements and clarifications relating to portfolio credit risk analysis, maturity, liquidity and risk diversification.  If you are a money market fund contemplating a purchase of Class A-1 notes, you or your advisor should review the Class A-1 notes for eligibility and consider these requirements before making a purchase.
 
RATINGS
 
The depositor expects that the notes will receive credit ratings from two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations hired by the sponsor to rate the notes (the “Hired Agencies”).  Although the Hired Agencies are not contractually obligated to monitor the ratings on the notes, we believe that the Hired Agencies will continue to monitor the transaction while the notes are outstanding.  The Hired Agencies’ ratings on the notes may be lowered, qualified or withdrawn at any time. In addition, a rating agency not hired by the sponsor to rate the transaction may provide an unsolicited rating that differs from (or is lower than) the ratings provided by

 
S-11

 

the Hired Agencies.  A rating is based on each rating agency’s independent evaluation of the receivables and the availability of any credit enhancement for the notes.  A rating, or a change or withdrawal of a rating, by one rating agency will not necessarily correspond to a rating, or a change or a withdrawal of a rating, from any other rating agency.
 
For a more detailed description of the ratings of the notes, see “Risk Factors—The ratings for the securities are limited in scope, may not continue to be issued and do not consider the suitability of an investment in the securities for you” in the Prospectus and “Risk Factors—The ratings of the notes may be withdrawn or lowered, or the notes may receive an unsolicited rating, which may adversely affect your notes” in this prospectus supplement.


 
S-12

 

RISK FACTORS
 
An investment in the notes involves significant risks. Before you decide to invest, we recommend that you carefully consider the following risk factors in addition to the risk factors beginning on page 1 of the accompanying prospectus.
 
The geographic concentration of the obligors in the receivables pool may result
 
 
in losses  
The geographic concentration of the obligors on the receivables in the pool may create additional risk of loss. For example, economic conditions or natural disasters, such as hurricanes or floods, in the states where obligors reside may affect the delinquency, loss and repossession experience of the issuing entity with respect to the receivables. As of the Statistical Cut-off Date, based on the billing addresses of the obligors, approximately 27.61%, 14.10%, 12.81%, 12.19% and 11.45% of the Net Pool Balance of the receivables were located in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Kentucky and Michigan, respectively. No other state, by billing address, constituted more than 5.00% of the Net Pool Balance as of the Statistical Cut-off Date. Economic conditions in any state or region may decline over time and from time to time. Because of the concentration of the obligors in certain states, any adverse economic conditions, or natural disasters such as hurricanes or floods, in those states may have a greater effect on the performance of the notes than if the concentration did not exist.
This prospectus supplement provides information regarding only the receivables as of the statistical cut-off date, however the receivables could have different
 
 
 
 
 
characteristics   This prospectus supplement describes only the characteristics of the receivables as of the Statistical Cut-off Date. The receivables sold to the issuing entity on the closing date may have characteristics that differ somewhat from the characteristics of the receivables as of the Statistical Cut-off Date. Although we do not expect the characteristics of the receivables on the closing date to differ materially from those of the receivables as of the Statistical Cut-off Date, and each receivable must satisfy the eligibility criteria specified in the sale and servicing agreement, you should be aware that the receivables may have been originated using credit criteria different from the criteria applied to the receivables disclosed in this prospectus supplement and may be of a different credit quality and seasoning. If you purchase a note, you must not assume that the characteristics of the receivables sold to the issuing entity on the closing date will be identical to the characteristics of the receivables in the statistical pool as of the Statistical Cut-off Date disclosed in this prospectus supplement.
     
Your share of possible losses may not be
 
 
proportional   Principal payments on the notes generally will be made to the holders of the notes sequentially so that no principal will be paid on any class of notes until each class of notes with an earlier final scheduled payment date has been paid in full. As a result, a class of notes with a later maturity may absorb more losses than a class of notes with an earlier maturity.
 
 
 
S-13

 
 
 
Risk of loss or delay in payment may result from delays in the transfer of servicing due
 
 
 
to the servicing fee structure   Because the servicing fee is structured as a percentage of the Net Pool Balance of the receivables, the amount of the servicing fee payable to the servicer may be considered insufficient by potential replacement parties if servicing is required to be transferred at a later time in the transaction when the Net Pool Balance of the receivables is smaller than it was on the closing date. Due to the potential reduction in servicing fee as described in the foregoing sentence, it may be difficult to find a replacement servicer, as the case may be. Consequently, the time it takes to effect the transfer of servicing to a replacement servicer under such circumstances may result in delays and/or reductions in the interest and principal payments on your notes.
     
You may suffer losses due to receivables with
 
 
low contract rates   Some receivables may have contract rates that are less than the interest rates on your notes. Interest paid on the higher contract rate receivables compensates for the lower contract rate receivables to the extent such interest is paid by the issuing entity as principal on your notes and additional overcollateralization is created. Excessive prepayments on the higher contract rate receivables may adversely impact your notes by reducing the interest payments available.
     
Prepayments, potential losses and a change in the order of priority of principal and interest payments may result from an event
 
 
 
 
of default under the indenture   An event of default under the indenture may result in payments on your notes being accelerated. As a result:
 
   
you may suffer losses on your notes if the assets of the issuing entity are insufficient to pay the amounts owed on your notes;
       
   
payments on your notes may be delayed until more senior classes of notes are repaid; and
       
   
your notes may be repaid earlier than scheduled, which may require you to reinvest your principal at a lower rate of return.
       
   
In addition, after an event of default under the indenture that results in acceleration of the notes (other than, unless a sale of the receivables has occurred, an event of default that arises from the issuing entity’s breach of a covenant, representation or warranty), the issuing entity will not make any distributions of principal or interest (i) on the Class B notes until payment in full of principal and interest on the Class A notes, (ii) the Class C notes until payment in full of principal and interest on the Class A notes and the Class B notes and (iii) the Class D notes until payment in full of principal and interest on the Class A notes, the Class B notes and the Class C notes.
 
 
 
S-14

 
 
 
The rate of depreciation of certain financed vehicles could exceed the amortization of the outstanding principal balance of the loans on those financed vehicles, which may result in
   
 
 
 
losses   There can be no assurance that the value of any financed motor vehicle will be greater than the outstanding principal balance of the related receivable. New vehicles normally experience an immediate decline in value after purchase because they are considered to be used vehicles rather than vehicles that are new.  As a result, it is highly likely that the principal balance of the related receivable will exceed the value of the related vehicle during the earlier years of a receivable’s term.  Defaults during these earlier years are likely to result in losses because the proceeds of repossession are less likely to pay the full amount of interest and principal owed on the receivable.  The frequency and amount of losses may be greater for receivables with longer terms, because these receivables tend to have a somewhat greater frequency of delinquencies and defaults and because the slower rate of amortization of the principal balance of a longer term receivable may result in a longer period during which the value of the financed vehicle is less than the remaining principal balance of the receivable.  The frequency and amount of losses may also be greater for obligors with little or no equity in their vehicles because the principal balances for such obligors are likely to be greater for similar loan terms and vehicles than for obligors with a more significant amount of equity in the vehicle.  In addition, the value of a vehicle may also decline due to concerns regarding a manufacturer’s future viability which may, among other things, adversely affect the value of any associated manufacturer warranty.  In addition, concerns over the availability of spare parts due to supplier viability may also reduce the value of certain vehicles.
     
Recent economic developments may  adversely affect the performance and
   
 
market value of your notes  
Over the past several years, major disruptions in the global financial markets caused a significant reduction in liquidity in the secondary market for asset-backed securities. While conditions in the financial markets and the secondary markets have recently improved, there can be no assurance that future events will not occur that could have a similar adverse effect on the liquidity of the secondary market or that under current conditions a secondary market for the notes will develop. The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange or any other trading or quotation system and will be subject to transfer restrictions. Therefore, in order to sell your notes, you must first locate a willing purchaser. The absence of a secondary market for the notes could limit your ability to resell them. Currently, no secondary market exists for the notes. We cannot assure you that a secondary market will develop. The underwriters currently intend to make a secondary market for the notes by making offers from time to time to buy notes that investors offer to them, but only at prices which in the underwriters’ judgment represent then current market prices. However, the underwriters are not obligated to offer to buy the notes and may stop making offers at any time. In addition, the underwriters’ offered prices, if any, may not reflect prices that other potential purchasers would be willing to pay were they given the opportunity. As a result, you may not be able to sell your notes when you want to do so, or you may not be able to obtain the price that you wish to receive.

See “Risk Factors ― The absence of a secondary market for the securities could limit your ability to resell your securities” in the prospectus.
     
The information relating to static pools may
   
not reflect actual experience  
There can be no assurance that the delinquency or loss experience information presented in this prospectus supplement with respect to Huntington’s vintage originations and prior securitized pools will reflect actual experience with respect to the receivables acquired by the issuing entity.
     
   
See “The Receivables Pool – Delinquency, Loss and Repossession Information” and “—Static Pool Information About Certain Previous Receivables Pools” in this prospectus supplement for delinquency and loss information regarding prior securitized pools and certain automobile loans originated and serviced by Huntington.
     
The Class B, Class C and Class D Notes are subject to greater risk because they are
   
 
subordinated   The Class B notes bear a greater credit risk than the Class A notes because payments of principal of the Class B notes are subordinated as described herein to payments of principal of the Class A notes.
     
   
The Class C notes bear a greater credit risk than the Class A notes and the Class B notes because payments of principal of the Class C notes are subordinated as described herein to payments of principal of the Class A notes and the Class B notes.
     
   
The Class D notes bear a greater credit risk than the Class A notes, the Class B notes and the Class C notes because payments of principal of the Class D notes are subordinated as described herein to payments of principal of the Class A notes, the Class B notes and the Class C notes.
     
   
You may incur losses on your notes because of the subordination of your notes to notes with an earlier alphabetical designation as described in this prospectus supplement.
     
You may suffer losses because you have limited control over actions of the issuing entity and conflicts between classes of notes
   
 
may occur   The Controlling Class will be the Class A notes until they are paid in full; thereafter, the Class B notes until they are paid in full; thereafter, the Class C notes until they are paid in full; thereafter, the Class D notes.  In exercising any rights or remedies under the indenture, the holders of a class of notes may be expected to act solely in their own interests.  The holders of not less than a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Controlling Class have the right to waive servicer replacement events.  Consequently, the holders of Class B notes will not have the ability to waive servicer replacement events until the Class A notes have been paid in full.  Similarly, the holders of Class C notes will not have the ability to waive any such events until the Class A notes and the Class B notes have been paid in full.  Similarly, the holders of the Class D notes will not have the ability to waive any such events until the Class A notes, Class B notes and Class C notes have been paid in full.
 
 
 
S-16

 
 
 
   
In addition, the holders of not less than a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Controlling Class will have the right to declare, and under certain circumstances to rescind the declaration of, an event of default under the indenture. Moreover, because the issuing entity has pledged its property under the indenture to secure payment on the notes, if an event of default has occurred, the indenture trustee may, and at the written direction of the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Controlling Class of notes will, institute proceedings to realize upon the receivables or exercise any other remedies of a secured party, including selling the receivables. To the extent the indenture provides the right to direct the indenture trustee in the exercise of remedies after the occurrence of an event of default under the indenture, those rights will generally be exercised by the Controlling Class. Consequently, the holders of the Class B notes will not have the ability to declare or waive events of default under the indenture, or generally to participate in the direction of the exercise of remedies under the indenture, until the Class A notes have been paid in full.  Similarly, the holders of the Class C notes will not have the ability to declare or waive events of default under the indenture, or generally to participate in the direction of the exercise of remedies under the indenture, until the Class A notes and the Class B notes have been paid in full.  Similarly, the holders of the Class D notes will not have the ability to declare or waive events of default under the indenture, or generally to participate in the direction of the exercise of remedies under the indenture, until the Class A notes, the Class B notes and the Class C notes have been paid in full.
     
The ratings of the notes may be withdrawn or lowered, or the notes may receive an unsolicited rating, which may adversely
   
 
 
affect your notes   A security rating is not a recommendation to purchase, hold or sell the notes inasmuch as a rating does not comment as to market price or suitability for a particular investor. The ratings assigned to the notes address the likelihood of the payment of principal and interest on the notes according to their terms but are solely the view of the assigning rating agency and are subject to any limitations that the assigning rating agency may impose. Ratings do not consider to what extent the notes will be subject to prepayment or that the principal of any class of notes will be paid prior to the final scheduled payment date for that class of notes, nor do the ratings consider the prices of the notes or their suitability to a particular investor. Similar ratings on different types of securities do not necessarily mean the same thing. To the extent the notes are rated by any rating agency, that rating agency may change its rating of the notes if that rating agency believes that circumstances have changed, the performance of the receivables has deteriorated, there were errors in analysis or otherwise. Any subsequent change in a rating will likely affect the price that a subsequent purchaser would be willing to pay for the notes and your ability to resell your notes.  Neither the depositor nor the sponsor nor any of their respective affiliates will have any obligation to replace or supplement any credit support, or to take any other action to maintain any ratings of the notes.
     
   
The depositor expects that the notes will receive ratings from two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations hired by the sponsor to rate the notes. Ratings initially assigned to the notes will be
     
 
 
 
S-17

 
 

     
   
paid for by the sponsor.  It may be perceived that the Hired Agencies have a conflict of interest that may have affected the ratings assigned to the notes where, as is the industry standard and the case with the ratings of the notes, the sponsor, the depositor or the issuing entity pays the fees charged by the rating agencies for their rating services.  Furthermore, the rating agencies have been and may continue to be under scrutiny by federal and state legislative and regulatory bodies for their roles in the recent financial crisis and such scrutiny and any actions such legislative and regulatory bodies may take as a result thereof may also have an adverse effect on the price that a subsequent purchaser would be willing to pay for the notes and your ability to resell your notes.
     
   
Under Securities and Exchange Commission rules aimed at enhancing transparency, objectivity and competition in the credit rating process, information provided by the sponsor or the underwriters to a Hired Agency for the purpose of assigning or monitoring the ratings on the notes is required to be made available to each non-hired rating agency in order to make it possible for non-hired rating agencies to assign unsolicited ratings to the notes. An unsolicited rating could be assigned at any time, including prior to the closing date. None of the depositor, the sponsor, the underwriters or any of their affiliates will have any obligation to inform you of any unsolicited ratings assigned to the notes after the date of this prospectus supplement, and these parties may be aware of unsolicited ratings assigned to the notes. Consequently, prospective investors should monitor whether an unsolicited rating of the notes has been assigned by a non-hired rating agency and should consult with their financial and legal advisors regarding the impact of the assignment of an unsolicited rating to a class of notes. Rating agencies, including the Hired Agencies, may have different methodologies, criteria, models and requirements. If any non-hired rating agency assigns an unsolicited rating to the notes, there can be no assurance that the unsolicited rating will not be lower than the ratings provided by the Hired Agencies, which could adversely affect the market value of your notes and/or limit your ability to resell your notes. In addition, if the sponsor fails to make available to the non-hired rating agencies any information provided to any Hired Agency for the purpose of assigning or monitoring the ratings on the notes, a Hired Agency could withdraw its ratings on the notes, which could adversely affect the market value of your notes and/or limit your ability to resell your notes.
     
   
Furthermore, Congress or the Securities and Exchange Commission may determine that any rating agency that assigns ratings to the notes no longer qualifies as a nationally recognized statistical rating organization for purposes of the federal securities laws and that determination may also have an adverse effect on the market price of the notes.
     
Federal financial regulatory legislation could have an adverse effect on Huntington, the depositor and the issuing entity, which could result in losses or delays in payments on
 
 
 
 
 
 your notes  
On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank
 

 
 
S-18

 

 
   
Act” ), which generally became effective on July 22, 2010, except that many provisions will not take effect for a year or more and many will require implementing regulations to be issued. The Dodd-Frank Act, amongst other things:
       
   
The Dodd-Frank Act affects the offering, marketing and regulation of consumer financial products and services offered by financial institutions.  In addition, it creates the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (the “BCFP” ) a new agency responsible for administering and enforcing the laws and regulations for consumer financial products and services;
       
   
creates a new framework for the regulation of over-the-counter derivatives activities;
       
   
strengthens the regulatory oversight of securities and capital markets activities by the SEC; and
       
   
creates a liquidation framework for the resolution of bank holding companies and other non-bank financial companies defined as “covered financial companies” or their “covered subsidiaries.”
       
   
The Dodd-Frank Act impacts the offering, marketing and regulation of consumer financial products and services offered by financial institutions.  The BCFP has supervision, examination and enforcement authority over the consumer financial products and services of certain non-depository institutions and large insured depository institutions, including the ability to define and regulate unfair and deceptive practices. This may result in increased cost of operations due to greater regulatory oversight, supervision, examination and limitations on Huntington’s ability to expand product and service offerings due to stricter consumer protection laws and regulations.
     
   
The Dodd-Frank Act increases the regulation of the securitization markets.  For example, implementing regulations will require securitizers or originators to retain an economic interest in a portion of the credit risk for any asset that they securitize or originate. It will also give broader powers to the SEC to regulate credit rating agencies and adopt regulations governing these organizations and their activities.  Compliance with the implementing regulations under the Dodd-Frank Act or the oversight of the SEC or BCFP, as applicable, may impose costs on, create operational constraints for, or place limits on pricing with respect to banks and other financial companies such as Huntington. Until implementing regulations are issued, no assurance can be given that these new requirements imposed by the Dodd-Frank Act will not have a significant impact on the servicing of the receivables, on the regulation and supervision of the servicer, the sponsor, the originator, the depositor, the issuing entity or their respective affiliates.  Additionally, no assurances can be given that the liquidation framework for the resolution of “covered subsidiaries” would not apply to certain subsidiaries and affiliates of Huntington, including the depositor and the issuing entity.

Considerations Under the Dodd-Frank Act Orderly Liquidation Authority Provisions” in the accompanying prospectus.
     
Our accounting treatment of the transfer of receivables to the depositor may  increase the FDIC’s repudiation and other powers in a receivership of Huntington,  the
 
 
depositor or the issuing entity  
We will not know until shortly before the issuance and sale of your notes whether we will be permitted to record the transfer of receivables as a sale under generally accepted accounting principles.  If the FDIC were named as receiver or conservator of Huntington, we expect that the FDIC’s power as receiver or conservator to repudiate the transfer of receivables and certain measures of damages will be governed by an FDIC regulation entitled “Treatment of financial assets transferred in connection with a securitization or participation,” which provides a safe harbor from the exercise of FDIC receivership or conservatorship powers (the “FDIC Safe Harbor Rule”).  The FDIC Safe Harbor Rule provides a greater degree of protection to investors in securitizations of assets that have been transferred by insured depository institutions in transactions that are accounted for as sales under generally accepted accounting principles than it does to investors in securitizations for which the securitized assets remain on the balance sheet of the transferring institution.   If we are not permitted to account for the transfer of assets as a sale under generally accepted accounting principles the FDIC will have greater rights to repudiate the transaction than would have been the case if the transfer were accounted for as a sale.  This could have a material adverse impact on you by exposing you to the FDIC claims process and to the risk of prepayment of your notes.  See “Certain Material Insolvency Aspects of the Offering – Certain Insolvency Considerations Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act—FDIC Safe Harbor Rule” in the accompanying prospectus.
     
   
Our accounting treatment of the transaction may also affect whether the issuing entity would be a covered subsidiary under the Orderly Liquidation Authority created pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act and thus potentially subject to an FDIC receivership under that statute in addition to potentially being a debtor in a case under the Bankruptcy Code.  See “Certain Material Insolvency Aspects of the Offering – Certain Insolvency Considerations Under the Dodd-Frank Act Orderly Liquidation Authority Provisions” in the accompanying prospectus.

 (1)
In March of 2012, The Huntington National Bank exercised its option to repurchase all assets underlying, and to redeem, all securities issued by Huntington Auto Trust 2008-1.  No such assets were the subject of a demand to repurchase pursuant to a breach of a representation or warranty.
Notes (2)-(5) apply generally to the tables above:
(2) We have attempted to gather the information required by Rule 15Ga-1 by, among other things, (i) identifying asset-backed securities transactions that fall within the scope of Rule 15Ga-1 for which we are a securitizer and that are not covered by a filing to be made by an affiliated securitizer (“Covered Transactions”), (ii) gathering information in our records regarding demands for repurchase or replacement of pool assets in Covered Transactions for breaches of representations or warranties concerning those pool assets (“Repurchases”) that is required to be reported on Form ABS-15G (“Reportable Information”), (iii) identifying the parties in Covered Transactions that have a contractual obligation to enforce any Repurchase obligations of the party or parties making those representations or warranties based on our records (“Demand Entities”), and (iv) requesting all Reportable Information from trustees and other
 
 
 
S-28

 
 
  Demand Entities that is within their respective possession and which has not been previously provided to us.  However, we cannot be certain that we have obtained all applicable Reportable Information because, among other things, some Demand Entities have not agreed to provide Reportable Information or may not have provided complete Reportable Information, and some Demand Entities may be unable or unwilling to provide Reportable Information without unreasonable effort or expense (or without imposing unreasonable expense on us).  The information in this table has not been verified by any third party.   In addition, while we requested Reportable Information from trustees and other Demand Entities as to investor demands that occurred prior to July 22, 2010, it is possible that this disclosure does not contain information about all investor demands upon those parties made prior to that date.
(3) Assets included in “Assets That Were Subject of Demand” include only assets where a demand was made during or prior to the reporting period for which we have not yet completed our initial investigation and assigned such assets to one of the other categories as of the end of the reporting period.
   
(4)
Assets included in “Assets Pending Repurchase or Replacement” include only assets for which a decision to repurchase, replace or make-whole has been approved but such action has not been completed, and are shown without regard to cure period status.
(5)
The principal balances appearing in columns (h), (k), (n), (q), (t) and (w) and the percentages appearing in columns (i), (l), (o), (r), (u) and (x) reflect the following:
(a)  for denominator for percentage calculations:  aggregate pool principal balance of all assets in the pool as reported to security holders as of the respective closing date for each securitization;
(b)  for each asset relating to columns (h), (i), (t), (u), (w) and (x):  outstanding principal balance of such asset;
(c)  for each asset relating to columns (k) and (l):  outstanding principal balance of such asset at time of repurchase, replacement or make-whole, plus fees, penalties and accrued interest;,
(d) for each asset relating to columns (n), (o), (q) and (r):  if known, outstanding principal balance of such asset, plus outstanding fees, penalties and accrued interest; otherwise original principal balance of such asset; and
(e) columns (y) and (z) set forth the total assets for each securitization as of the most recent reporting date.

 
 
THE SERVICER
 
General
 
Huntington is a national banking association organized under the laws of the United States of America, with principal executive offices at Huntington Center, 41 South High Street, Columbus, Ohio 43287, and the telephone number is (614) 480-8300.  Huntington’s business is subject to examination and regulation by federal banking authorities.  Its primary federal bank regulatory authority is the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
 
The servicer has been servicing its originated auto loan receivables for over 50 years.  Huntington’s serviced portfolio of motor vehicle retail installment sale contracts and loans includes, as of June 30, 2012, approximately 500,000 motor vehicle retail installment sale contracts and loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $7.0 billion.
 
Huntington has more than 146 years of serving the financial needs of its customers.  Huntington, along with its affiliated companies, provides innovative retail and commercial financial products and services through over 680 regional banking offices in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.  Huntington also offers retail and commercial financial services online at huntington.com; through its technologically advanced, 24-hour telephone bank; and through its network of over 1,300 ATMs.  Selected financial service activities are also conducted in other states including:  Private Financial and Capital Markets Group offices in Florida; and Mortgage Banking offices in Maryland and New Jersey.  Huntington Insurance offers retail and commercial insurance agency services in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Indiana and West Virginia.  International banking services are made available through the headquarters office in Columbus, a limited purpose office located in the Cayman Islands, and another located in Hong Kong.  Huntington currently provides vehicle and dealer financing to approximately 450,000 retail customers and more than 3,100 motor vehicle dealers.
 

 
S-29

 

Huntington provides financial services to and through motor vehicle dealers in its primary operating states of Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey and West Virginia.  The primary financial services in Huntington’s motor vehicle financing program are:
 
 
Retail financing — the origination of dealer assisted loans, vehicle leases and retail installment contracts at motor vehicle dealerships to finance the acquisition of motor vehicles by dealership customers.
 
 
Wholesale financing — making loans to motor vehicle dealers to finance the purchase of vehicle inventory, also known as floorplan financing.
 
 
Other financing — making loans to dealers for working capital, improvements to dealership facilities and acquisitions of real estate.
 
Servicing
 
Huntington, as servicer, will be responsible for managing, administering, servicing and making collections on the receivables in accordance with its customary servicing practices for automobile loans under a sale and servicing agreement among the issuing entity, the depositor, the indenture trustee and Huntington.
 
Collection activities generally begin with an automated system-generated late notice issued to the customer at the end of the grace period.  Telephone contacts via an automated dialer system begin as early as 5 days past due and are augmented with collector system-generated letters.  Where it is determined that a delinquent borrower has provided the telephone number for a cellular telephone, the automatic dialer system is not used and collector system-generated letters are the exclusive means of contact.  Each account managed by collections personnel is assigned a behavior score, based on account and creditor attributes.  This score for an account governs the collections strategy that may be used with respect to that account.  The score is updated monthly and changes in the score can lead to changes in such collection strategy with respect to the account.  Higher scoring accounts may receive fewer inquiries from collectors, while lower scoring accounts are contacted more aggressively.
 
With respect to contracts that are between 45 and 120 days delinquent, late stage collection personnel initiate contact with the delinquent obligor by telephone and/or letters tailored to specific variables based on the term of the delinquency, the behavior score and the history of the account.  If attempts to contact the delinquent obligor have failed, the collection officer may attempt to contact the obligor’s references.  Repossession procedures begin when all other collection efforts are exhausted, generally in the 60-70 days past due range.
 
Repossessions are carried out pursuant to applicable state law.  Huntington follows specific procedures with respect to repossessions and uses unaffiliated independent contractors to perform repossessions.  Once a motor vehicle is repossessed, a notice of repossession is sent to the obligor, detailing the requirements that must be met in order for the obligor to redeem the financed vehicle.  Motor vehicles that remain unredeemed beyond a specified period are remarketed through auction sales.  Huntington has a distinct group within the collections function to manage all bankruptcy filings.  A bankruptcy filing in and of itself does not trigger repossession activity.
 
The policy of Huntington is to charge-off the contract prior to the end of the month in which the contract becomes 120 days past due, or if the financed vehicle securing the delinquent contract is repossessed, to charge-off the contract no later than 60 days after repossession.  It is Huntington’s policy to pursue any deficiencies remaining after full charge-off of the contract or after repossession and sale of the related motor vehicle when and to the extent practical and legally permitted.  Collection personnel continue to contact the obligors to establish repayment schedules or to repossess the related financed vehicle until a final resolution is achieved, except as such contacts are limited by bankruptcy or other applicable law.  Huntington also engages in the sale of charged-off receivables on a regular basis.  This strategy is based on achieving a maximum return on all deficiency balances.  Huntington is entitled to recover its expenses reasonably allocated to repossession and liquidation of a financed vehicle, provided that such reimbursement with respect to any receivable is limited to the cash proceeds of the sale of such financed vehicle or any deficiency obtained from the related receivable obligor.
 

 
S-30

 

Huntington is required to remit, within two business days of receipt, to the collection account all collections relating to the receivables.
 
Huntington is required to make monthly advances under the sale and servicing agreement on each remittance date from its own funds or from amounts held for future distributions in an amount equal to the interest portion of all monthly payments that were (i) due on the receivables during the applicable collection period and were delinquent at the close of business on the last day of the collection period immediately preceding such remittance date or (ii) not due during the applicable collection period because payment in such collection period was deferred by Huntington.  Huntington’s obligation to pay monthly advances with respect to a receivable shall cease if Huntington determines, in its good faith judgment, that advances with respect to such receivable are non-recoverable by Huntington from Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise from amounts allocable to interest with respect to such receivable.  Huntington is entitled to recover its advances from collections on the Huntington receivable, provided that such reimbursement (to the extent that the advances are deemed recoverable) with respect to any receivable is limited to Liquidation Proceeds, insurance proceeds and recoveries with respect to such receivable.
 
Additional information about Huntington’s servicing policies and procedures is described in “Origination and Servicing Procedures; Underwriting Criteria” in the accompanying prospectus.
 
Receivables may be purchased by the servicer upon discovery by any of the servicer, the sponsor, the depositor, the issuing entity or the indenture trustee of a breach of certain servicing covenants set forth in the sale and servicing agreement.  On or before the last day of the first collection period commencing after its receipt of notice by the party who discovered the breach, and if the breach has not yet been cured by such date, the servicer will purchase from the issuing entity the receivable affected by such breach.
 
Neither the servicer nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents will be liable to the issuing entity, the depositor, the indenture trustee, the owner trustee, or the noteholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to the sale and servicing agreement; provided, however, that the servicer will be liable by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties.
 
THE CUSTODIAN
 
Huntington will act as custodian for the benefit of and as bailee of the issuing entity and the indenture trustee, upon appointment by the issuing entity under the sale and servicing agreement.  As custodian, Huntington will maintain, in accordance with its customary servicing practices, accurate and complete accounts, records and computer systems with respect to each receivable file delivered to it by the issuing entity on the closing date.  Huntington’s appointment as custodian will become effective on the closing date and will continue in full force and effect unless and until the servicer or any successor servicer is terminated by the issuing entity or by holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the notes of the Controlling Class.  The indenture trustee or, with the consent of the indenture trustee, the owner trustee, may terminate Huntington’s appointment as custodian, with cause, at any time upon written notification to Huntington.  No more than five business days after any termination, Huntington will deliver the receivable files to the indenture trustee or its agent at a place designated by the indenture trustee.
 
AFFILIATIONS AND CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 
Huntington, as originator, custodian, sponsor, servicer and administrator, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Bancshares. The depositor is a wholly owned special purpose subsidiary of Huntington. The issuing entity is a wholly owned special purpose subsidiary of the depositor. Huntington Investment Company, as one of the underwriters, is an affiliate of Huntington.  An affiliate of one of the underwriters is the indenture trustee.  The owner trustee and the indenture trustee are entities that the sponsor and its affiliates have other banking relationships with directly or with their affiliates in the ordinary course of their businesses. In some instances the owner trustee and the indenture trustee act in similar capacities for other asset-backed transactions of the sponsor for similar or other asset types.

THE RECEIVABLES POOL
 
The issuing entity will own a pool of receivables consisting of auto loan receivables secured by new and used automobiles and light-duty trucks. The pool will consist of the receivables that the originator will sell to the depositor on the closing date, and that the depositor will simultaneously transfer to the issuing entity on the closing date. The receivables will include payments on the receivables that are made after the cut-off date.
 
The characteristics set forth in this section are based on the statistical pool as of the Statistical Cut-off Date. The statistical pool consists of receivables owned by the originator that met the criteria below as of the Statistical Cut-off Date. The originator will originate additional receivables after the Statistical Cut-off Date that may be included in the receivables pool. In addition, some amortization of the receivables will have occurred since the Statistical Cut-off Date and some receivables included in the statistical pool will have prepaid in full or have been determined not to meet the eligibility criteria described below and therefore will not be included in the receivables pool. The receivables pool will be selected from (i) the statistical pool, (ii) receivables originated after the Statistical Cut-off Date and (iii) receivables originated prior to the Statistical Cut-off Date which, in each case, satisfy the eligibility criteria as of the cut-off date, but which were not included in the statistical pool. The characteristics of the receivables pool sold to the issuing entity on the closing date may vary somewhat from the characteristics of the receivables as of the Statistical Cut-off Date illustrated in the tables below, although we do not expect any such variance to be material.
 
Selection Criteria Applicable to Selection of Receivables
 
The receivables sold to the issuing entity on the closing date will be selected for inclusion in the pool by several selection criteria. These criteria include, among other things, the requirement that each receivable:
 
 
had a remaining term to maturity, as of the cut-off date, of at least 13 months and not more than 74 months;
 
 
had an original maturity of not less than 24 months and not more than 75 months;
 
 
is a fully-amortizing, fixed rate Simple Interest Receivable that provides for level scheduled monthly payments (except for the last payment, which may be minimally different from the level payments) over its remaining term and, as of the cut-off date, had a contract rate of not less than 1.00% per annum or more than 14.99% per annum;
 
 
is secured by a financed vehicle that, as of the cut-off date, had not been repossessed without reinstatement of such receivable;
 
 
had not been identified in the records of the servicer as relating to an obligor who has filed for bankruptcy or is the subject of bankruptcy proceedings as of the cut-off date;
 
 
had no default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms of the receivable, other than a current payment delinquency of not more than 29 days as of the cutoff date;
 
 
had a remaining principal balance, as of the cut-off date, of at least $1,002.77 and not greater than $95,416.70; and
 
 
had a FICO score not less than 660.
 
The receivables will be selected from the portfolio of auto loan receivables for new and used vehicles acquired by the originator from dealers or originated through dealers and serviced by the servicer, in each case meeting the criteria described above and in the prospectus. No selection procedures believed by the originator to be materially adverse to the noteholders will be utilized in selecting the receivables. As of the Statistical Cut-off Date, no receivable in the statistical pool has a scheduled maturity later than October 26, 2018.
 

 
S-32

 

As of the Statistical Cut-off Date, the receivables in the statistical pool described in this prospectus supplement had an aggregate principal balance of $1,311,152,019.24.  As of the cut-off date, the receivables sold to the issuing entity on the closing date are expected to have an aggregate principal balance of approximately $1,000,000,000.
 
The composition, geographic distribution by state of the obligor, distribution by outstanding principal balance, distribution by contract rate, distribution by remaining term and distribution by Original FICO Score, in each case of the receivables as of the Statistical Cut-off Date, are set forth in the tables below.

(1) Weighted by principal balance as of the statistical cut-off date.

(2) FICO® scores are calculated as of the origination of the related receivables and excludes obligors for which no FICO® score was available as of origination of the related receivable.  FICO® is a federally registered trademark of Fair, Isaac & Company. A FICO® score is a measurement determined by Fair, Isaac & Company using information collected by the major credit bureaus to assess credit risk. Data from an independent credit reporting agency, such as FICO® score, is one of several factors that may be used by the originator in its credit scoring system to assess the credit risk associated with each applicant, see “Origination and Servicing Procedures” in the accompanying prospectus. FICO® scores are based on independent third party information, the accuracy of which cannot be verified. FICO® scores should not necessarily be relied upon as a meaningful predictor of the performance of the receivables.

(3) The loan-to-value ratio (or “LTV”) for a receivable secured by a new vehicle is equal to the original amount financed divided by the manufacturer’s suggested retail price for that vehicle. The LTV for a receivable secured by a used vehicle is equal to the original amount financed divided by the retail price for that vehicle as set forth in the applicable N.A.D.A. Official Used Car Guide. There can be no assurance that the retail price for a used vehicle set forth in the applicable N.A.D.A. Official Used Car Guide reflects the amount that could be realized upon a sale of the related vehicle, and such retail price represents N.A.D.A.’s opinion of the retail price for such used vehicle.  Amounts relating to LTV are calculated excluding LTVs for which no manufacturer’s suggested retail price or retail price for that vehicle was available.

(1) FICO® scores are calculated as of the origination of the related receivables and excludes receivables for which no FICO® score was available as of the origination of the related receivable.  FICO® is a federally registered trademark of Fair, Isaac & Company. A FICO® score is a measurement determined by Fair, Isaac & Company using information collected by the major credit bureaus to assess credit risk. Data from an independent credit reporting agency, such as FICO® score, is one of several factors that may be used by the originator in its credit scoring system to assess the credit risk associated with each applicant, see “Origination and Servicing Procedures” in the accompanying prospectus. FICO® scores are based on independent third party information, the accuracy of which cannot be verified. FICO® scores should not necessarily be relied upon as a meaningful predictor of the performance of the receivables.

Review of Pool Assets
 
Huntington and the depositor (collectively, referred to herein as the “reviewer”) have performed a review (the “pool review”) for the purpose of providing reasonable assurance that the disclosure regarding the pool assets in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus is accurate in all material respects.  The pool review is comprised of two components.   The first component of the pool review (the “process component”) entailed consideration of ongoing processes and procedures used by Huntington; the second component of the pool review (the “data and disclosure component”) entailed consideration of the performance of specified actions with respect to disclosure about the pool of receivables and the underlying data on which that disclosure was based.  For certain aspects of the pool review, the reviewer engaged a third party to assist.  The reviewer designed the procedures used in the pool review, assumed responsibility for the sufficiency of those procedures, and attributed to itself all findings and conclusions of the pool review.
 
For the process component of the pool review, the reviewer monitored internal reports and developments with respect to internal processes and procedures that are designed to maintain and enhance the accuracy, efficiency and reliability of receivables systems and operations. Huntington has an established set of controls, processes and procedures that it employs for this purpose. Quality assurance testing of previously originated receivables, for example, checks for compliance with applicable underwriting criteria and documentation requirements and accurate entry of data into the principal databases and other management information systems of the sponsor and the servicer (the “information databases”).  Internal processes and procedures are in place for many other purposes, including business efficiency, profitability analysis, performance monitoring, and review of predictive measurements like expected losses. 
 
The process component of the pool review also included consideration by the reviewer of additional factors and information, including without limitation its knowledge of its ongoing daily originations and underwriting practices, quality assurance and performance measures conducted by it and other periodic reviews.
 
The data and disclosure component of the pool review tested the accuracy of the individual receivables data contained in Huntington’s information databases. The information databases were used to assemble an electronic data tape containing relevant data on the receivables pool. From this tape, the depositor constructed the pool composition and stratification tables in “The Receivables Pool” in this prospectus supplement and verified the eligibility criteria in “The Receivables Pool—Selection Criteria Applicable to the Selection of Receivables” in this prospectus supplement and the representations and warranties described in “The Receivables — The Receivables Pools” in the accompanying prospectus.
 
The data and disclosure component of the pool review included randomly selecting 165 loans from the receivables pool (the “randomly selected loans”).  For each of the randomly selected loans, the reviewer identified certain characteristics, including interest rate, original balance, current balance, loan term, and state of residence and a comparison was performed of such characteristics set forth on the electronic data tapes to the corresponding information contained in the underlying contracts and other documents in Huntington’s possession (“source documents”).  The source documents are maintained by Huntington and relate to the receivables pool.  In certain instances, a characteristic contained in the electronic database may be the result of a calculation of two or more characteristics contained in the source documents.  In such instances, a comparison was performed of the result of such calculation contained in the electronic database to the results of the recalculations using the corresponding information set forth in the source documents.
 
The data and disclosure component of the pool review also evaluated the information contained in the accompanying prospectus regarding the pool of receivables under “Origination and Servicing Procedures; Underwriting Criteria,” “The Receivables,” “The Servicer,” “The Transaction Documents—Transfer and Assignment of the Receivables” and “Material Legal Aspects of the Receivables” in the accompanying prospectus. The depositor confirmed with the responsible personnel of the sponsor and the servicer that the description of the business practices, contract terms and legal and regulatory considerations, and the other information with respect to the pool of receivables, contained in those sections is accurate. The depositor also reviewed internal management
 

 
S-38

 

reports periodically generated by these personnel that bear on the matters discussed in those sections of the accompanying prospectus.
 
Huntington and the depositor have concluded that the findings of the pool review provide them with reasonable assurance that:
 
 
the errors identified in the data and disclosure component of the pool review do not indicate the existence of any systemic problems with the processes within the sponsor and the servicer that generate information regarding receivables for use in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus;
 
 
the pool composition and stratification tables contained in “The Receivables Pool” in this prospectus supplement are accurate in all material respects;
 
 
the pool of receivables satisfies the selection criteria in all material respects; and
 
 
the disclosure regarding the pool of receivables contained in the sections of the accompanying prospectus cited in the preceding paragraph is accurate in all material respects.
 
Underwriting Criteria
 
The receivables have been originated in accordance with Huntington’s underwriting criteria that are generally applicable to its origination and acquisition of automobile retail installment sale contracts and installment loans.  For a description of those underwriting criteria, please see "Origination and Servicing Procedures; Underwriting Criteria—Underwriting” in the accompanying prospectus.
 
Exceptions to the Underwriting Criteria
 
Certain receivables in the pool of receivables constitute exceptions to the underwriting criteria of Huntington described "Origination and Servicing Procedures; Underwriting Criteria—Underwriting” in the accompanying prospectus.  Huntington elected to include these receivables in the pool of receivables for the offering because Huntington did not believe the exceptions would materially affect the performance of those receivables.  Huntington makes the determination of whether to include an excepted receivable based on the review of the receivable on the basis of multiple factors which cover a broad range of characteristics.  The aggregate outstanding principal balance of these exception receivables as of the statistical cut-off date is $19,324,438.09.
 
Delinquency, Loss and Repossession Information
 
The tables below summarize the delinquency, repossession and loss experience of the portfolio of indirect auto loan receivables owned and serviced by Huntington. The data includes all auto loan receivables currently owned by Huntington, whether originated, purchased or acquired as the result of bank mergers and reflects auto loan receivables that were originated or underwritten under criteria that may be different from the receivables held by the issuing entity. Accordingly, the delinquency and loss figures presented below may not be representative of the receivables held by the issuing entity and no assurances can be given that the repossession, delinquency and loss experience presented in the following tables will be indicative of the actual experience on the receivables held by the issuing entity.

_____________
(1)   Data presented in the table is based upon retail principal balances for new and used vehicles serviced by The Huntington National Bank (excludes Sky Bank originated auto loans).
   
(2)    Huntington considers a payment to be past due or delinquent when an obligor fails to make at least 90% of the scheduled monthly payment by the related due date.  Huntington measures delinquency by the number of days elapsed from the date a payment is due under the loan contract.
   
(3)   Huntington generally charges-off a receivable in the month in which the receivable reaches its 120th day of delinquency except for accounts where the vehicle is in repossession inventory. Once in inventory, Huntington allows an additional 60 days for the liquidation of the collateral and subsequent application of the auction proceeds to the account balance before the receivable charge-off.
   
(4)      Delinquencies include repossessions.

Delinquency Experience Regarding the Statistical Pool
 
The servicer considers a receivable delinquent when an obligor fails to make at least 90% of a scheduled payment by the related due date. The period of delinquency is based on the number of days payments are contractually past due. As of the Statistical Cut-off Date, none of the receivables in the statistical pool were more than 30 days delinquent, and as of the cut-off date, none of the receivables in the pool sold to the issuing entity on the closing date will be more than 30 days delinquent.
 
The following table sets forth the delinquency experience regarding the statistical pool of receivables.

Static Pool Information About Certain Previous Receivables Pools
 
Appendix A attached to this prospectus supplement sets forth available information regarding characteristics of receivables originated and serviced by Huntington by vintage origination year for the past 7 years, including the aggregate original and month-end (as of June 30, 2012) principal balance, the original and month-end (as of June 30, 2012) number of receivables, the average original and month-end (as of June 30, 2012) principal balance, the weighted average original and the month-end (as of June 30, 2012) contract rate, the pool factor as of June 30, 2012, the weighted average age as of June 30, 2012, the weighted average original term, the weighted average remaining term as of June 30, 2012, the weighted average FICO Score, the distribution of the pool of receivables by original contract rate range, the percentage of new financed vehicles, the percentage of used financed vehicles and the geographic distribution of the pool of receivables.  Appendix A also sets forth in tabular format static pool information on a monthly basis regarding the monthly delinquency rates, the monthly pool factor and the prepayment speeds with respect to the each vintage year and cumulative net-charge offs with respect to each vintage quarter. The characteristics of each receivables pool described above are based on the characteristics of all of the receivables included in that pool as of their respective dates of origination and as of June 30, 2012.
 
Appendix B to this prospectus supplement sets forth in tabular format static pool information about prior pools of retail installment sale contracts and installment loans that were securitized by Huntington in the last five years, including those receivables acquired and securitized by Huntington Funding, LLC, that were included in the Huntington Auto Trust 2008-1, 2009-1, 2011-1 and 2012-1 transactions. Static pool information consists of cumulative credit losses, delinquency and prepayment data for prior securitized pools and summary information for the original characteristics of the prior pools. The term “securitized pool” refers to the securitized pool of receivables as of the related cut-off date. The characteristics of the securitized pools included in Appendix B vary from the characteristics of the receivables in this transaction.
 
The characteristics of receivables included in the static pool data discussed above, as well as the social, economic and other conditions existing at the time when those receivables were originated and repaid, may vary materially from the characteristics of the receivables in this transaction and the social, economic and other conditions existing at the time when the receivables in this transaction were originated and those that will exist in the future when the receivables in the current transaction are required to be repaid. As a result, there can be no assurance that the static pool data referred to above will correspond to or be an accurate predictor of the performance of the receivables in this transaction.

WEIGHTED AVERAGE LIFE OF THE NOTES
 
The following information is provided solely to illustrate the effect of prepayments of the receivables on the unpaid principal amounts of the notes and the weighted average life of the notes under the assumptions stated below and is not a prediction of the prepayment rates that might actually be experienced with respect to the receivables.
 
Prepayments on motor vehicle receivables can be measured against prepayment standards or models. The model used in this prospectus supplement, the absolute prepayment model, or “ABS,” assumes a rate of prepayment each month which is related to the original number of receivables in a pool of receivables. ABS also assumes that all of the receivables in a pool are the same size, that all of those receivables amortize at the same rate, and that for every month that any individual receivable is outstanding, payments on that particular receivable will either be made as scheduled or the receivable will be prepaid in full. For example, in a pool of receivables originally containing 10,000 receivables, if a 1% ABS were used, that would mean that 100 receivables would prepay in full each month. The percentage of prepayments that is assumed for ABS is not a historical description of prepayment experience on pools of receivables or a prediction of the anticipated rate of prepayment on either the pool of receivables involved in this transaction or on any pool of motor vehicle receivables. You should not assume that the actual rate of prepayments on the receivables will be in any way related to the percentage of prepayments that was assumed for ABS.
 
The tables below which are captioned “Percent of the Initial Outstanding Principal Amount at Various ABS Percentages” (the “ABS Tables”) are based on ABS and were prepared using the following assumptions:
 
 
the issuing entity holds 6 pools of receivables with the following characteristics:

the scheduled payment for each receivable was calculated on the basis of the characteristics described in the assumptions set forth above and in such a way that each receivable would amortize in a manner that would be sufficient to repay the receivable balance of that receivable by its indicated remaining term to maturity;
 
 
all prepayments on the receivables each month are made in full at the specified constant percentage of ABS and there are no defaults, losses or repurchases;
 
 
interest accrues on the notes at the following per annum coupon rates: Class A-1 notes, 0.25%; Class A-2 notes, 0.43%; Class A-3 notes, 0.61%; Class A-4 notes, 0.85%; Class B notes, 1.38%; Class C notes, 1.77%; Class D notes, 2.47%;
 
 
each scheduled payment on the receivables is made on the last day of each month commencing in September 2012, and each month has 30 days;
 
 
the initial principal amount of each class of notes is equal to the initial principal amount for that class of notes as set forth on the front cover of this prospectus supplement;

 
S-43

 
 
 
payments on the notes are paid in cash on each payment date commencing November 15, 2012, and on the 15th calendar day of each subsequent month whether or not that day is a business day;
 
 
the notes are purchased on October 11, 2012;
 
 
the Class A-1 notes will be paid interest on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed during the period for which interest is payable and a 360-day year;
 
 
the Class A-2 notes, the Class A-3 notes, the Class A-4 notes, the Class B notes, the Class C notes and the Class D notes, will be paid interest on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months;
 
 
no investment earnings are earned on any account;
 
 
except as indicated in the tables, the clean-up call option to redeem the notes will be exercised at the earliest possible opportunity;
 
 
the servicing fee rate will be 1.00% per annum and all other fees and expenses are equal to $0.00; and
 
 
the servicing fee is calculated based on twelve 30-day months, including the first period.
 
The ABS Tables were created relying on the assumptions listed above. The tables indicate the percentages of the original outstanding principal amount of each class of notes that would be outstanding after each of the listed payment dates if certain percentages of ABS are assumed. The ABS Tables also indicate the corresponding weighted average lives of each class of notes if the same percentages of ABS are assumed. The assumptions used to construct the ABS Tables are hypothetical and have been provided only to give a general sense of how the principal cash flows might behave under various prepayment scenarios. The actual characteristics and performance of the receivables may differ materially from the assumptions used to construct the ABS Tables.
 
As used in the ABS Tables, the “weighted average life” of a class of notes is determined by:
 
 
multiplying the amount of each principal payment on a note by the number of years from the date of the issuance of the note to the related payment date;
 
 
adding the results; and
 
 
dividing the sum by the related original outstanding principal amount of the note.

THE NOTES
 
The following information summarizes material provisions of the notes and related provisions in the indenture. The following summary supplements the description of the general terms and provisions of the notes of any given series and the related indenture set forth in the accompanying prospectus, to which you should refer.
 
General
 
The notes will be issued pursuant to the terms of the indenture to be dated as of the closing date between the issuing entity and the indenture trustee for the benefit of the noteholders.  We will file a copy of the indenture with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) after we issue the notes.  Holders of the notes will have the right to receive payments made with respect to the receivables and other assets in the issuing entity property and certain rights and benefits available to the indenture trustee under the indenture. Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas will be the “indenture trustee”. You may contact the indenture trustee at Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, 60 Wall Street, MS NYC 60-2720, New York, N.Y. 10005, Attention: Trust & Securities Services.
 
All payments required to be made on the notes will be made monthly on each payment date, which will be the 15th day of each month or, if that day is not a business day, then the next business day beginning November 15, 2012.
 
The indenture trustee will distribute principal and interest on each payment date to holders in whose names the notes were registered on the latest record date.
 
The original principal amount, interest rate and final scheduled payment date for each class of the notes offered hereby is set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement.
 
Delivery of Notes
 
The notes will be issued in the minimum denomination of $1,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof (except for one note of each class of notes which may be issued in a denomination other than an integral of $1,000) on or about the closing date in book-entry form through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company, Clearstream and the Euroclear System against payment in immediately available funds.  For more information on the form of the notes, The Depository Trust Company, Clearstream and the Euroclear System, see “Form, Exchange, Registration and Title” in the accompanying prospectus.
 
Payments of Interest
 
Interest on the unpaid outstanding principal amount of each class of notes will accrue at the applicable interest rate listed on the cover of this prospectus supplement and will be payable monthly on each payment date. Interest will accrue during each interest period at the applicable interest rate (a) for the Class A-1 notes from and including the prior payment date (or from and including the closing date in the case of the first payment date) to but excluding the following payment date or (b) for the notes, other than the Class A-1 notes, from and including the 15th day of each calendar month preceding each payment date (or from and including the closing date in the case of the first payment date) to but excluding the 15th day of the month of the payment date.
 
Interest will accrue and will be calculated on the various classes of notes as follows:
 
 
Actual/360. Interest on the Class A-1 notes will be calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed during the applicable interest period, but assuming a 360-day year. This means that the interest due on each payment date for the Class A-1 notes will be the product of (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Class A-1 notes, (ii) the applicable interest rate and (iii) the actual number of days from and including the previous payment date (or, in the case of the first payment date, from and including the closing date) to but excluding the current payment date, divided by 360.
 

 
S-56

 

 
30/360. Interest on the notes, other than the Class A-1 notes, will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. This means that the interest due on each payment date for the notes, other than the Class A-1 notes, will be the product of (i) the outstanding principal amount of the related class of notes, (ii) the applicable interest rate and (iii) 30 (or in the case of the first payment date, the number of days from and including the closing date to but excluding the first payment date (assuming a 30-day calendar month)), divided by 360.
 
 
Interest Periods. Interest will accrue on the outstanding principal amount of each class of notes (a) with respect to the Class A-1 notes from and including the prior payment date (or in the case of the first payment date, the closing date) to but excluding the following payment date or (b) with respect to the notes, other than the Class A-1 notes, from and including the 15th day of each calendar month (or in the case of first payment date, the closing date) to but excluding the 15th day of the month of the payment date. Interest accrued as of any payment date but not paid on that payment date will be payable on the next payment date, together with interest on such amount at the applicable interest rate (to the extent lawful).
 
Interest on each note will be paid to the person in whose name that note is registered on the record date. If the notes are issued as book-entry notes, then the “record date” is the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the applicable payment date or redemption date. If the notes are issued as definitive notes, then the “record date” is the close of business on the last business day of the calendar month immediately preceding the calendar month in which the applicable payment date or redemption date occurs. The holders of record of the notes are referred to as “noteholders” in this prospectus supplement. The final interest payment on each class of notes is due on the earlier of (a) the payment date (including any redemption date) on which the principal amount of that class of notes is reduced to zero and (b) the applicable final scheduled payment date for that class of notes. In this transaction, a “business day” will be any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in the states of Ohio or New York are authorized or obligated by law, executive order or government decree to be closed, or any day on which the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland is closed.
 
Payments of Principal
 
On each payment date, except as described below, the First Allocation of Principal, the Second Allocation of Principal, the Third Allocation of Principal, the Fourth Allocation of Principal and the Regular Principal Distribution Amount will be applied to make principal payments on the notes. Prior to acceleration of the notes following an event of default, principal payments will be applied to the notes in sequential priority so that no principal payments will be made on any class of notes until all notes with an earlier final scheduled payment date have been paid in full. Thus, on each payment date, the amounts on deposit in the principal distribution account will be applied to the notes as follows:
 
 
first, to the Class A-1 notes, until the Class A-1 notes are paid in full;
 
 
second, to the Class A-2 notes, until the Class A-2 notes are paid in full;
 
 
third, to the Class A-3 notes, until the Class A-3 notes are paid in full;
 
 
fourth, to the Class A-4 notes, until the Class A-4 notes are paid in full;
 
 
fifth, to the Class B notes, until the Class B notes are paid in full;
 
 
sixth, to the Class C notes, until the Class C notes are paid in full; and
 
 
seventh, to the Class D notes, until the Class D notes are paid in full.
 
At any time that the outstanding principal amount of the notes have been declared due and payable following the occurrence of an event of default under the indenture, principal payments will be made first to the Class A-1 noteholders until the Class A-1 notes are paid in full, and then ratably to all other Class A noteholders

 
S-57

 

based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of each class of Class A notes (other than the Class A-1 notes) on each payment date, until all events of default have been cured or waived as provided in the indenture or all Class A notes have been paid in full, then to the Class B noteholders until the Class B notes have been paid in full, then to the Class C noteholders until the Class C notes have been paid in full and then to the Class D noteholders until the Class D notes have been paid in full.
 
To the extent not previously paid prior to those dates, the outstanding amount of each class of notes will be payable in full on the final scheduled payment date set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement (each, a “final scheduled payment date”). The remaining outstanding principal amount of each class of notes will be due on the related final scheduled payment date for each class. Failure to pay the full principal amount of a class of notes by the applicable final scheduled payment date will be an event of default under the indenture.
 

 
S-58

 

Payments of Principal on each Payment Date (other than
Payment Dates after the Notes have been accelerated
following the occurrence of an Event of Default)
 

 
 
S-59

 
 
Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default under the indenture which has resulted in an acceleration of the notes, the priority of payments changes (including payments of principal on the notes).  For a discussion of the priority of payments following an event of default, see “The NotesPriority of Payment Following an Event of Default” in this prospectus supplement.
 
Priority of Payments
 
On each payment date, except after acceleration of the notes after an event of default under the indenture, the indenture trustee will make the following deposits and distributions (in accordance with the servicer’s written instructions), to the extent of investment earnings on the reserve account, investment earnings on the collection account, Available Funds then on deposit in the collection account and amounts withdrawn from the reserve account to cover shortfalls (in that order) in the following order of priority (which we sometimes refer to as the “payment waterfall”):
 
(1)           first, to the servicer, the servicing fee for the related collection period and all prior unpaid servicing fees with respect to any prior collection periods;
 
(2)           second, to the Class A noteholders, pro rata based on their respective interest entitlements, the accrued and unpaid interest on the Class A notes;
 
(3)           third, to the principal distribution account for distribution pursuant to “The Notes—Payments of Principal above, the First Allocation of Principal, if any;
 
(4)           fourth, to the Class B noteholders, the accrued and unpaid interest on the Class B notes;
 
(5)           fifth, to the principal distribution account for distribution pursuant to “The Notes—Payments of Principal” above, the Second Allocation of Principal, if any;
 
(6)           sixth, to the Class C noteholders, the accrued and unpaid interest on the Class C notes;
 
(7)           seventh, to the principal distribution account for distribution pursuant to “The Notes—Payments of Principal” above, the Third Allocation of Principal, if any;
 
(8)           eighth, to the Class D noteholders, the accrued and unpaid interest on the Class D notes;
 
(9)           ninth, to the principal distribution account for distribution pursuant to “The Notes —Payments of Principal” above, the Fourth Allocation of Principal if any;
 
(10)           tenth, to the Reserve Account, any additional amount required to reinstate the amount on deposit in the reserve account up to the Specified Reserve Account Balance;
 
(11)           eleventh, to the principal distribution account for distribution pursuant to “The Notes—Payments of Principal” above, the Regular Principal Distribution Amount, if any;
 
(12)           twelfth, to the administrator, the owner trustee and the indenture trustee, accrued and unpaid fees and reasonable expenses (including indemnification amounts) due and owing under the sale and servicing agreement, the trust agreement, the administration agreement and the indenture, as applicable, which have not been previously paid; and
 
(13)           thirteenth, to or at the direction of the certificateholder, any funds remaining.
 
Distributions made under the payment waterfall will be made first, from investment earnings on the reserve account, second, from investment earnings on the collection account, third, from any remaining Available Funds and fourth from any amounts withdrawn from the reserve account to cover shortfalls.
 

 
S-60

 

First Allocation of Principal” means, for any payment date, an amount not less than zero equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the aggregate principal amount of the Class A notes as of the preceding payment date (after giving effect to all principal payments made on that preceding payment date and with respect to the first payment date, as of the closing date) over (b) the Net Pool Balance as of the last day of the related collection period; provided, that the First Allocation of Principal on and after the final scheduled payment date for any class of Class A notes will not be less than the amount that is necessary to reduce the principal amount of each such class, as applicable, to zero.
 
“Second Allocation of Principal” means, for any payment date an amount not less than zero equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the aggregate principal amount of the Class A notes and the Class B notes as of the preceding payment date (after giving effect to all principal payments made on that preceding payment date and with respect to the first payment date, as of the closing date) minus the First Allocation of Principal for the current payment date over (b) the Net Pool Balance as of the last day of the related collection period; provided, however, that the Second Allocation of Principal on and after the final scheduled payment date for any class of Class A notes or Class B notes will not be less than the amount that is necessary to reduce the principal amount of each such class, as applicable, to zero (after the application of the First Allocation of Principal).
 
Third Allocation of Principal” means, for any payment date an amount not less than zero equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the aggregate principal amount of the Class A notes, the Class B notes and the Class C notes as of the preceding payment date (after giving effect to all principal payments made on that preceding payment date and with respect to the first payment date, as of the closing date) minus the sum of the First Allocation of Principal and Second Allocation of Principal for the current payment date over (b) the Net Pool Balance as of the last day of the related collection period; provided, however, that the Third Allocation of Principal on and after the final scheduled payment date for any class of Class A notes, Class B notes or Class C notes will not be less than the amount that is necessary to reduce the principal amount of each such class, as applicable, to zero (after the application of the First Allocation of Principal and Second Allocation of Principal).
 
Fourth Allocation of Principal” means, for any payment date an amount not less than zero equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the aggregate principal amount of the notes as of the preceding payment date (after giving effect to all principal payments made on that preceding payment date and with respect to the first payment date, as of the closing date) minus the sum of the First Allocation of Principal, Second Allocation of Principal and Third Allocation of Principal for the current payment date over (b) the Net Pool Balance as of the last day of the related collection period; provided, however, that the Fourth Allocation of Principal on and after the final scheduled payment date for any class of Class A notes, Class B notes, Class C notes or Class D notes will not be less than the amount that is necessary to reduce the principal amount of each such class, as applicable, to zero (after the application of the First Allocation of Principal, Second Allocation of Principal and Third Allocation of Principal).
 
Regular Principal Distribution Amount” means, for any payment date, an amount not less than zero equal to the excess of (a) the aggregate principal amount of the notes as of the preceding payment date (after giving effect to all principal payments made on that preceding payment date and with respect to the first payment date, as of the closing date) minus the sum of the First Allocation of Principal, the Second Allocation of Principal, the Third Allocation of Principal and the Fourth Allocation of Principal for the current payment date over (b) the Net Pool Balance as of the end of the related collection period minus the Target Credit Enhancement Overcollateralization Amount; provided, however, that the Regular Principal Distribution Amount on and after the final scheduled payment date for any class of notes will not be less than the amount that is necessary to reduce the principal amount of each such class, as applicable, to zero (after the application of the First Allocation of Principal, the Second Allocation of Principal, the Third Allocation of Principal and the Fourth Allocation of Principal).
 
Target Credit Enhancement Overcollateralization Amount means, with respect to any payment date, the excess, if any, of: (1) 0.90% of the initial Net Pool Balance over (2) 0.25% of the Net Pool Balance as of the cut-off date (which is the Specified Reserve Account Balance).
 
Upon and after any distribution to the certificateholder of any amounts, the noteholders will not have any rights in, or claims to, those amounts. On each payment date, after all deposits and distributions of higher priority as described above, the certificateholders will be entitled to any funds remaining on that payment date.

 
S-61

 
 
If the sum of the amounts required to be distributed pursuant to clauses first through ninth above exceeds the sum of Available Funds for that payment date, the indenture trustee will withdraw from the reserve account and deposit in the collection account for distribution in accordance with the priority of payments an amount equal to the lesser of the funds in the reserve account and the amount of the shortfall.
 
Priority of Payment Following an Event of Default
 
On each payment date after an event of default and acceleration of the notes, payments will be made from all funds available to the issuing entity (including all amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account) in the following order of priority:

(2)           second, to the servicer, the servicing fee with respect to the current collection period and all previously accrued and all unpaid servicing fees with respect to prior collection periods;
 
(3)           third, to the Class A noteholders, pro rata, the accrued and unpaid Class A note interest;
 
(4)           fourth, if (i) the receivables have been sold after an event of default has occurred or (ii) an event of default has occurred that arises from (a) a default in the payment of any interest on any note of the Controlling Class when the same becomes due and payable, (b) a default in the payment of the principal of or any installment of the principal of any note when the same becomes due and payable, or (c) the occurrence of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or liquidation of the issuing entity, in the following order of priority:
 
 
to the Class A-1 noteholders, in respect of principal thereon until the Class A-1 notes have been paid in full;
 
 
to the Class A-2 noteholders, the Class A-3 noteholders and the Class A-4 noteholders, in respect of principal thereon, on a pro rata basis, until all classes of the Class A notes have been paid in full;

S-62

 
 
 
to the Class C noteholders, the accrued and unpaid Class C note interest;
 
 
to the Class D noteholders, the accrued and unpaid Class D note interest;
 
 
to the Class A-1 noteholders in respect of principal thereon until the Class A-1 notes have been paid in full;

to the Class D noteholders in respect of principal thereon until the Class D notes have been paid in full; and
 
(6)           sixth, to the certificateholders, any funds remaining.
 
Following the occurrence of any event of default under the indenture which has not resulted in an acceleration of the notes, the issuing entity will continue to pay interest and principal on the notes on each payment date in the manner set forth in this prospectus supplement under “—Priority of Payments” above, until the notes are accelerated or until a liquidation, if any, of the receivables and the other issuing entity property.
 
CREDIT ENHANCEMENT
 
This securitization transaction is structured to provide credit enhancement that increases the likelihood that the issuing entity will make timely payment of interest and principal on the notes and decrease the likelihood that losses on the receivables will impair the issuing entity’s ability to do so. The amount of credit enhancement will be limited, and there can be no assurance it will be sufficient in all circumstances. The noteholders will have no recourse to the depositor or the servicer as a source of payment.

Reserve Account
 
To the extent that Collections on the receivables and amounts on deposit in the reserve account are insufficient, the noteholders will have no recourse to the assets of the depositor or the servicer as a source of payment.
 
The reserve account initially will be funded by a deposit from proceeds of the offering of the notes on the closing date in an amount equal to the Specified Reserve Account Balance.
 
As of any payment date, the amount of funds actually on deposit in the reserve account may, in certain circumstances, be less than the Specified Reserve Account Balance. On each payment date, the issuing entity will, to the extent available, deposit the amount, if any, necessary to cause the amount of funds on deposit in the reserve account to equal the Specified Reserve Account Balance to the extent set forth above under “The NotesPriority of Payments.
 
The amount of funds on deposit in the reserve account may decrease on each payment date by withdrawals of funds to cover shortfalls in the amounts required to be distributed pursuant to clauses first through ninth under “The NotesPriority of Payments.

 
S-63

 

If the amount of funds on deposit in the reserve account on any payment date, after giving effect to all deposits to and withdrawals from the reserve account on that payment date, is greater than the Specified Reserve Account Balance for that payment date, then the indenture trustee will deposit the amount of the excess into the collection account and the excess will then be distributed as part of Available Funds for that payment date for distribution as specified under “The NotesPriority of Payments.
 
In addition, on any payment date, if the sum of the amounts in the reserve account and the remaining Available Funds after the payments under clauses first through ninth and eleventh under “The NotesPriority of Payments” would be sufficient to pay in full the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all of the outstanding notes, then the indenture trustee will, if instructed by the servicer, withdraw such amounts from the reserve account to the extent necessary to pay all outstanding notes in full.
 
Subordination
 
As long as the Class A notes remain outstanding, payments of interest on any payment date on the Class B notes, the Class C notes and the Class D notes will be subordinated to payments of interest on the Class A notes and certain other payments on that payment date (including principal payments of the Class A notes in specified circumstances), and payments of principal of the Class B notes, the Class C notes and the Class D notes will be subordinated to all payments of principal of and interest on the Class A notes and certain other payments on that payment date. If the notes have been accelerated after an event of default under the indenture (other than, unless a sale of receivables has occurred, events of default based on the issuing entity’s breach of covenant, representation or warranty) all payments on the Class B notes, the Class C notes and the Class D notes will be subordinated to all payments on the Class A notes until the Class A notes are paid in full.
 
As long as the Class B notes remain outstanding, payments of interest on any payment date on the Class C notes and the Class D notes will be subordinated to payments of interest on the Class B notes and certain other payments on that payment date (including principal payments of the Class B notes in specified circumstances), and payments of principal of the Class C notes and the Class D notes will be subordinated to all payments of principal of and interest on the Class B notes and certain other payments on that payment date. If the notes have been accelerated after an event of default under the indenture (other than, unless a sale of receivables has occurred, events of default based on the issuing entity’s breach of covenant, representation or warranty) all payments on the Class C notes and the Class D notes will be subordinated to all payments on the Class B notes until the Class B notes are paid in full.
 
As long as the Class C notes remain outstanding, payments of interest on any payment date on the Class D notes will be subordinated to payments of interest on the Class C notes and certain other payments on that payment date (including principal payments of the Class C notes in specified circumstances), and payments of principal of the Class D notes will be subordinated to all payments of principal of and interest on the Class C notes and certain other payments on that payment date. If the notes have been accelerated after an event of default under the indenture (other than, unless a sale of receivables has occurred, events of default based on the issuing entity’s breach of covenant, representation or warranty) all payments on the Class D notes will be subordinated to all payments on the Class C notes until the Class C notes are paid in full.
 
This subordination feature provides credit enhancement to each class of notes (other than the Class D notes) by the notes with a subsequent alphabetical designation.

Overcollateralization
 
Overcollateralization is the amount by which the Net Pool Balance exceeds the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the notes. Overcollateralization means that there will be additional assets generating collections that will be available to cover credit losses on the receivables. There can be no assurance that the overcollateralization will be sufficient to cover actual losses to the receivables.
 
To increase the amount of overcollateralization on any payment date and reach the Target Credit Enhancement Overcollateralization Amount, the issuing entity must make principal payments on the notes on each payment date in an amount greater than the decline in the Net Pool Balance for the preceding month until the
 

 
S-64

 
 
outstanding principal amount of the notes is equal to the Net Pool Balance minus the Target Credit Enhancement Overcollateralization Amount. The use of excess interest to make principal payments is expected to increase overcollateralization as a percentage of each class’s principal amount. The class of notes receiving principal payments will experience the greatest increase in overcollateralization. When the actual amount of overcollateralization is less than the Target Credit Enhancement Overcollateralization Amount, principal payments will be made to the noteholders from Available Funds until the Target Credit Enhancement Overcollateralization Amount is reached.
 
Excess Interest
 
Based on the assumptions contained herein, more interest is expected to be paid by the obligors in respect of the receivables than is necessary to pay the related servicing fee and interest on the notes each month.  Consequently there is expected to be “excess interest.” Any excess interest will be applied on each payment date as an additional source of Available Funds for distribution in accordance with the “The NotesPriority of Payments” described above.
 
In general, using excess interest to pay principal on the notes (a) provides a source of funds to absorb losses on the receivables and (b) to the extent the amount of excess interest is greater than the amount of any such losses, causes the principal of the notes to be paid more rapidly than the principal of the receivables, which increases overcollateralization.
 
THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS
 
The information in this section summarizes material provisions of  the “asset purchase agreement” entered into between the originator and the depositor, the “sale and servicing agreement” entered into among the depositor, the servicer, the issuing entity and the indenture trustee and the “indenture” entered into between the issuing entity and the indenture trustee. We sometimes refer to these agreements collectively as the “transfer agreements.” This section also summarizes the “administration agreement” entered into among the issuing entity, Huntington, as administrator, the owner trustee and the indenture trustee. The transfer agreements, together with the trust agreement and the administration agreement, are referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents.” The following summary supplements the description of the general terms and provisions of these agreements set forth in the prospectus in the sections titled “The Transaction Documents” and “Description of the Indenture,” to which reference is hereby made.
 
We will file a copy of the transfer agreements and the administration agreement with the SEC after we issue the notes.  This is not a complete description of the transfer agreements or the administration agreement, and the summaries of the transfer agreements and the administration agreement in this prospectus supplement are subject to all of the provisions of the transfer agreements and the administration agreement.
 
Sale and Assignment of Receivables and Related Security Interests
 
Under the asset purchase agreement, Huntington will sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the depositor all of its right, title, interest, claims and demands in, to and under the receivables, Collections after the cut-off date and the related security relating to those receivables. The asset purchase agreement will create a first priority ownership/security interest in that property in favor of the depositor.
 
Under the sale and servicing agreement, the depositor will sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the issuing entity all of its right, title, interest, claims and demands in, to and under the assets conveyed to it under the asset purchase agreement and its rights under the asset purchase agreement. The sale and servicing agreement will create a first priority ownership/security interest in that property in favor of the issuing entity.
 
Under the indenture, the issuing entity will pledge all of its right, title, interest claims and demands in, to and under the issuing entity property to the indenture trustee. The terms of the indenture create a first priority perfected security interest in the issuing entity property in favor of the indenture trustee for the benefit of the noteholders.
 

 
S-65

 
 
Administration Agreement
 
Huntington will be the administrator under the administration agreement. The administrator will perform all of its duties as administrator under the administration agreement and the transfer agreements and certain ministerial duties and obligations of the issuing entity and the owner trustee under the transfer agreements to which the issuing entity is a party. However, except as otherwise provided in such documents, the administrator will have no obligation to make any payment required to be made by the issuing entity under any such document. The administrator will monitor the performance of the issuing entity and the owner trustee and will advise the issuing entity and the owner trustee when action is necessary to comply with the issuing entity’s and the owner trustee’s duties and obligations under such documents. In furtherance of the foregoing, the administrator will take all appropriate action that is the duty of the issuing entity and the owner trustee to take pursuant to such documents.
 
As compensation for the performance of the administrator and as a reimbursement for its expenses, the administrator will be entitled to receive $12,000 annually, which shall be solely an obligation of the servicer.
 
The Accounts
 
The issuing entity will have the following bank accounts, which initially will be maintained at and will be maintained in the name of the indenture trustee on behalf of the noteholders:
 
 
the collection account;
 
 
the principal distribution account; and
 
 
the reserve account.
 
Collection Account
 
Under the sale and servicing agreement, Huntington as servicer will remit Collections it receives on the receivables to the collection account within two business days after receipt irrespective of the collection period for which such Collections are applicable.
 
On each payment date, the indenture trustee will withdraw from the reserve account and deposit into the collection account any amount of funds required under the sale and servicing agreement to be withdrawn from the reserve account and distributed on that payment date.
 
Principal Distribution Account
 
On each payment date, the indenture trustee will make payments from amounts deposited in the principal distribution account on that date in the order of priority described above under “The Notes—Payments of Principal.”
 
Reserve Account
 
The servicer will establish the reserve account in the name of the indenture trustee for the benefit of the noteholders. For a discussion of the reserve account, see “Credit EnhancementReserve Account” in this prospectus supplement.
 
Permitted Investments
 
Amounts on deposit in the collection account, the principal distribution account and the reserve account will be invested by the indenture trustee at the written direction of the servicer in Permitted Investments.  Amounts invested in Permitted Investments may not be converted into cash, sold or otherwise disposed of other than (i) upon maturity of the related investment, (ii) upon the date the related investment no longer meets the investment criteria of a Permitted Investment, or (iii) on any payment date, in order to allow the amount invested to be distributed to the noteholders or certificateholders in accordance with the payment waterfall.  Permitted Investments are limited to

 
 
S-66

 

obligations or securities that mature on or before the next payment date. However, if the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied, funds in the reserve account may be invested in investments that will not mature prior to the next payment date and that meet other investment criteria.  On each payment date, all investment earnings on the amounts in the collection account will be distributed through the payment waterfall on such payment date.  In the event there are net investment losses on the Permitted Investments, the servicer will deposit amounts in the collection account to account for investment losses on the collection account no later than one business day prior to the related payment date.

Other Fees and Expenses
 
The following table describes the compensation payable to the Hired Agencies for the period beginning with their retention and ending five years after the closing date. The sponsor will pay the rating agency fees, which include initial fees and surveillance fees. None of these fees will be paid out of the collections on the receivables. Although we do not anticipate that these fees will change while the notes are outstanding, any changes after the closing date will be disclosed to investors on the issuing entity’s monthly statement to noteholders. None of the Hired Agencies retain any risk of loss with respect to the receivables.

The sponsor also does not retain any risk of loss with respect to the receivables other than any purchase or repurchase obligations resulting from certain breaches of representations and warranties. The sponsor intends to satisfy the FDIC’s risk retention requirement by selecting a separate pool of receivables in an amount equal to five percent of the pool of receivables sold to the issuing entity. This retained pool will be selected randomly on the basis of the same criteria used to select the securitized pool. For more information, see “Material Insolvency Aspects of the Offerings—Certain Insolvency Considerations Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act—FDIC Safe Harbor Rule” in the prospectus.
 
Indemnification of Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee
 
Under the indenture, the issuing entity will agree to cause the servicer to indemnify the indenture trustee (including its officers, directors, employees and agents) for any loss, liability, damage, claim or expense (including any reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by it in connection with the administration of the trust or the performance of its duties as indenture trustee under the Transaction Documents. However, the indenture trustee will not be indemnified by the issuing entity or the servicer against any loss, liability or expense incurred by it or arising from
 
S-67

 

(a) its own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith (including such conduct of its officers, directors, employees or agents), (b) the breach of any of the indenture trustee’s representations or warranties under the indenture, (c) the negligence or willful misconduct of the indenture trustee in connection with its performance of the duties of successor servicer under the sale and servicing agreement, or (d) any taxes, fees or other charges on, based on or measured by, any fees, commissions or compensation received by the indenture trustee.  To the extent that any such indemnities are not otherwise satisfied, they will be paid from Available Funds as described above under “The NotesPriority of Payments.”
 
Under the sale and servicing agreement, the servicer will indemnify the issuing entity, the owner trustee and the indenture trustee and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents from and against (a) any and all tax (other than any federal, state or other income taxes, any general corporation or franchise taxes, or any taxes asserted with respect to the transfer of the issuing entity property to the issuing entity or the issuance and original sale of the notes) with respect to the transactions contemplated by the sale and servicing agreement, and any costs and expenses in defending against the same claim (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), and (b) any and all loss, cost, liability, expense, damage or claim (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) (i) arising out of or resulting from the use, ownership or operation by the servicer or any affiliate thereof of a financed vehicle (excluding any losses incurred solely in connection with the sale of any repossessed financed vehicles in a commercially reasonable manner and in compliance with the terms of the sale and servicing agreement) or (ii) arising out of or imposed upon such person through any breach of the servicer’s obligations under the transfer agreements or the administration agreement, and the negligence, willful misfeasance or bad faith of the servicer (other than errors in judgment) in the performance of its duties under the sale and servicing agreement, by reason of breach of its representations, warranties, obligations or duties under the sale and servicing agreement, or for any violation of law by the servicer.  To the extent that any such indemnities to the owner trustee or the indenture trustee are not otherwise satisfied, they will be paid from Available Funds as described above under “The NotesPriority of Payments.”
 
Under the sale and servicing agreement, the servicer shall indemnify the indenture trustee and the owner trustee, and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, from and against any loss, liability, expense, damage or injury arising out of or incurred in connection with (a) in the case of the indenture trustee, the indenture trustee’s performance of its duties under the indenture, (b) in the case of the owner trustee, the owner trustee’s performance of its duties under the trust agreement or (c) the acceptance, administration or performance by, or action or inaction of, the indenture trustee or the owner trustee, as applicable, of the trusts and duties contained in the Transaction Documents, except in each case to the extent that such loss, liability, expense, damage or injury suffered: (i) is due to the willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence of the person seeking to be indemnified; (ii) to the extent otherwise payable to the indenture trustee, arises from the indenture trustee’s breach of any of its representations or warranties under the indenture; (iii) to the extent otherwise payable to the owner trustee, arises from the owner trustee’s breach of any of its representations or warranties set forth under the trust agreement; or (iv) shall arise out of or be incurred as a result of the negligence or willful misconduct of the indenture trustee in connection with its performance of the duties of successor servicer.
 
Optional Redemption
 
The servicer may purchase the assets of the issuing entity (other than the Reserve Account) on any payment date if both of the following conditions are satisfied: (a) the then-outstanding Net Pool Balance as of the last day of the related collection period has declined to 10% or less of the Net Pool Balance as of the cut-off date, and (b) the sum of the purchase price for the assets of the issuing entity and Available Funds for such payment date would be sufficient to pay (x) the amounts required to be paid under clauses first through ninth and eleventh in accordance with “The Notes—Priority of Payments” and (y) the outstanding principal amount of the notes (after giving effect to the payments described in the preceding clause (x)).  If the servicer exercises such purchase option, then the outstanding notes will be redeemed in whole, but not in part, on the related payment date. This option is described in the prospectus under “The Transaction Documents—Purchase of Receivables by the Servicer.” The purchase price will be equal to the Net Pool Balance of the receivables plus interest accrued but unpaid through the last day of the related collection period.
 
Additionally, each class of notes is subject to redemption in whole, but not in part, on any payment date on which the sum of the amounts in the reserve account and the remaining Available Funds after the payments under
 
 
S-68

 

clauses first through ninth and eleventh set forth in “The Notes—Priority of Payments” above would be sufficient to pay in full the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all of the outstanding notes as determined by the servicer.  On such payment date, (i) the indenture trustee upon written direction from the servicer shall transfer all amounts on deposit in the reserve account to the collection account and (ii) the outstanding notes shall be redeemed in whole, but not in part.
 
Notice of redemption under the indenture shall be given by the indenture trustee at the written direction and expense of the servicer not later than 10 days prior to the applicable redemption date to each registered holder of notes.  All notices of redemption will state: (i) the redemption date; (ii) the redemption price; (iii) that the record date otherwise applicable to that redemption date is not applicable and that payments will be made only upon presentation and surrender of those notes; (iv) the place where those notes are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; (v) that interest on the notes will cease to accrue on the redemption date; and (vi) the CUSIP numbers (if applicable) for the notes.
 
Servicing Compensation and Expenses
 
The servicer will be entitled to receive a servicing fee for each collection period. The “servicing fee”  for any payment date will be an amount equal to the product of (1) one-twelfth, (2) 1.00% and (3) the Net Pool Balance of the receivables as of the first day of the related collection period; provided, that with respect to the first payment date, the servicing fee will equal the sum of (i) the product of (x) a fraction equal to the number of days from but not including the cut-off date to and including September 30, 2012 over 360, (y) 1.00% and (z) the Net Pool Balance of the receivables as of the cut-off date (for the September collection period) and (ii) the product of (x) one-twelfth, (y) 1.00% and (z) the Net Pool Balance of the receivables as of October 1, 2012 (for the October collection period).  As additional compensation, the servicer will be entitled to retain all Supplemental Servicing Fees.  The servicing fee, together with any portion of the servicing fee that remains unpaid from prior payment dates, will be payable on each payment date from funds on deposit in the collection account with respect to the collection period preceding that payment date, including funds, if any, deposited into the collection account from the reserve account. The servicer will pay all expenses (apart from certain expenses incurred in connection with liquidating a financed vehicle related to a receivable, such as auction, painting, repair or refurbishment in respect of that financed vehicle) incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities (including any fees and expenses of sub-servicers to whom it has delegated servicing responsibilities), independent accountants, taxes imposed on the servicer and expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports to noteholders and the certificateholder. The servicer will have no responsibility, however, to pay any losses with respect to the receivables.
 
Modifications of Receivables and Extensions of Receivables Final Payment Dates
 
Pursuant to the sale and servicing agreement, 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 (1) extends the date for final payment by the obligor of any receivable beyond the last day of the collection period ending six months prior to the latest final scheduled payment date for any class of notes; or (2) reduces the contract rate or outstanding principal balance of any receivable other than as required by applicable law (including, without limitation, by the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act), then the servicer will be required to purchase that receivable from the issuing entity.  Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing,
 
Huntington, in accordance with the servicing standard for loans, may waive any unpaid amounts not to exceed $25 owed with respect to a receivable in connection with its final payout.
 
Servicer Replacement Events
 
The following events constitute “servicer replacement events” under the sale and servicing agreement:
 
 
any failure by the servicer to deliver or cause to be delivered any required payment to the collection account for distribution to the noteholders, which failure continues unremedied for two business days;
 

 
S-69

 
 
 
any failure by the servicer to duly deliver to the owner trustee, the indenture trustee, and the originator, the servicer’s monthly certificate by the third business day immediately preceding the related payment date, and which failure continues unremedied for 5 business days;
 
 
any failure by the servicer to duly observe or perform any other of its covenants or agreements in the sale and servicing agreement, which failure (i) could materially and adversely affects the rights of the noteholders, and (ii) which continues unremedied for 30 days after (a) discovery thereof by an officer of the servicer, (b) the date on which the servicer should reasonably have been aware of such failure, or (c) receipt by the servicer of written notice thereof from the indenture trustee, the owner trustee, or the noteholders holding at least 25% of the principal amount of the Controlling Class;
 
 
any representation or warranty made or deemed made by or on behalf of the servicer in any Transaction Document, any report, certificate, financial statement or other document furnished in connection with any Transaction Document, or any amendment or modification of any of the foregoing, proves to have been incorrect when made or deemed made, and which failure continues unremedied for 30 days;
 
 
the servicer ceases to be legally qualified to service the receivables;
 
 
the delegation by the servicer of any its obligations under the Transaction Documents other than in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents or otherwise without the written consent of the noteholders holding at least a majority of the principal amount of the Controlling Class;
 
 
the failure of the servicer to obtain or maintain all licenses and approvals necessary for the conduct of its business in the jurisdictions where the failure to do so could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the issuing entity or the noteholders; or
 
 
the occurrence of certain events (which, if involuntary, remain unstayed for more than 60 days) of bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or liquidation of the servicer.
 
The existence or occurrence of any “material instance of noncompliance” (within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB) shall not create any presumption that any event under the first three bullet points above has occurred.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the noteholders of a majority of the principal amount of the Controlling Class may waive any servicer replacement event.
 
Removal, Resignation or Replacement of the Servicer
 
If a servicer replacement event is unremedied, the indenture trustee may (and if directed in writing by noteholders holding a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the notes of the Controlling Class, shall) terminate all of the servicing rights and obligations of the servicer with respect to the receivables. The indenture trustee will effect that termination by delivering written notice to the servicer, each Hired Agency and the noteholders. Any successor servicer must be an established institution having a net worth of not less than $100,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of comparable motor vehicle receivables having an aggregate outstanding principal amount of not less than $50,000,000.  Any successor servicer will be the indenture trustee (unless the indenture trustee is legally unable to act or shall choose not to act as the servicer or unless the Controlling Class does not desire the indenture trustee to act as the servicer, in which case a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the notes of the Controlling Class shall appoint a successor that satisfies the related eligibility criteria).  If the Controlling Class does not appoint the successor servicer, the servicer, the indenture trustee, the owner trustee or the noteholders holding 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor servicer that satisfies the servicer eligibility criteria.
 
The servicer may not resign from its servicing obligations and duties except upon determination that the performance of its duties as servicer is no longer permissible under applicable law. Except as may be required under

 
S-70

 

applicable law, no servicer resignation will become effective until a successor servicer has assumed the related obligations and duties. The servicer may, at any time, appoint a subservicer in good faith to perform all or any portion of its obligations, subject to (a) 10 days’ prior notice shall have been given to the Controlling Class, the indenture trustee, and the Hired Agencies, and each Hired Agency shall have notified the servicer, the owner trustee and the indenture trustee in writing that the appointment satisfies the Rating Agency Condition, (b) the Servicer has received the written consent of the noteholders holding a majority of the principal amount of the Controlling Class to such appointment, and (c) the servicer remains obligated and liable to the owner trustee, the indenture trustee and the noteholders for the servicing and administering of the loans as if the servicer alone were performing those duties.
 
Upon appointment of a successor servicer, the successor will assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the servicer with respect to the receivables (other than the obligations of the predecessor servicer that survive its termination, including indemnification obligations against certain events arising before its replacement). In a bankruptcy or similar proceeding for the servicer, a bankruptcy trustee or similar official may have the power to prevent the indenture trustee, the owner trustee or the noteholders from effecting a transfer of servicing to a successor servicer.
 
Events of Default
 
The occurrence of any one of the following events will be an “event of default”  under the indenture:
 
 
a default in the payment of any interest on any note of the Controlling Class when the same becomes due and payable, and that default continues for a period of two business days (to be extended to 5 days if such failure to pay is owing solely to circumstances caused by the indenture trustee, and the servicer has made the principal and interest deposits in accordance with the sale and servicing agreement and the servicer has provided the indenture trustee with timely instruction for the application of such funds, and such amounts are sufficient to pay the accrued and unpaid interest on such notes);
 
 
a default in the payment of the principal of any note when the same becomes due and payable at the related final scheduled payment date or the redemption date;
 
 
any failure by the issuing entity to observe or perform its covenants relating to corporate existence and qualification, negative covenants relating to sale of assets and incurrence of liens, merger and consolidation, other business, indebtedness, obligations of the servicer, making of loans or guarantees, endorsements or other contingent liabilities, purchases or acquisitions of any stock, obligation, asset or security, making of any capital contribution, capital expenditures, removal of the administrator, restricted payments, and notices for events of default;
 
 
any failure by the issuing entity to duly observe or perform any of its other covenants or agreements in the indenture, which failure continues unremedied for 30 days;
 
 
a breach of any representation or warranty by the issuing entity that remains uncured for 30 days; or
 
 
the occurrence of certain events (which, if involuntary, remain unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive days) of bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or liquidation of the issuing entity.
 
The amount of principal required to be paid to noteholders under the indenture, however, generally will be limited to amounts available to make such payments in accordance with the priority of payments. Thus, the failure to pay principal on a class of notes due to a lack of amounts available to make such a payment will not result in the occurrence of an event of default until the final scheduled payment date for that class of notes.
 
Rights Upon Event of Default
 
Upon the occurrence and continuation of any event of default (other than an event of default resulting from an event of bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or liquidation of the issuing entity), the indenture trustee may, or at the direction of a majority in outstanding principal amount of the Controlling Class shall, declare by written notice

 
S-71

 
 
to the issuing entity, all of the notes to be immediately due and payable.  Upon such declaration, the entire outstanding principal amount, together with accrued interest thereon through the date of acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable.  Upon the occurrence of an event of default resulting from an event of bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or liquidation of the issuing entity, the notes will automatically be accelerated, and all interest on and principal of the notes will be due and payable without any declaration or other act by the indenture trustee or the noteholders.
 
At any time after the notes have been accelerated as a result of an event of default and before a judgment or decree for payment of money due has been obtained by the indenture trustee, the noteholders holding a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Controlling Class may, by written notice to the issuing entity and the indenture trustee, rescind such acceleration if the issuing entity has deposited with the indenture trustee an amount sufficient to pay all principal and interest that would be due on the notes if the event of default had not occurred, and all sums paid by the indenture trustee and owner trustee for expenses, disbursements and reasonable compensation for themselves and their respective agents and counsels; and all other events of default have been cured or waived.
 
If an event of default is unremedied and the notes have not been accelerated, the indenture trustee may, or shall at the written direction of the noteholders holding a majority of the principal amount of the Controlling Class, institute proceedings to collect amounts due or foreclose on the issuing entity property, exercise remedies as a secured party, elect to maintain possession of the receivables and other issuing entity property and continue to apply the proceeds from the receivables and other issuing entity property as if there had been no event of default or sell the receivables and the other issuing entity property. Upon the occurrence of an event of default resulting in acceleration of the notes, the indenture trustee may sell the receivables and the other issuing entity property. However, the indenture trustee is prohibited from selling the receivables and the other issuing entity property following an event of default (other than an event of default that relates to the failure to pay interest or principal when due (a “payment default”)) unless:
 
 
the holders of 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the notes voting as a single class consent to a sale;
 
 
the proceeds of the sale are sufficient to pay in full all amounts then due and unpaid on the notes with respect to principal and interest; or
 
 
the default is a payment default and the indenture trustee determines that the Collections on the receivables would not be sufficient on an ongoing basis to make all payments on the notes as those payments would have become due if those obligations had not been declared due and payable, and the indenture trustee obtains the consent of the holders of 66 2/3% of the outstanding principal amount of the notes voting as a single class.
 
The noteholders do not have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the indenture for any remedy unless (a) the holder has previously given written notice to the indenture trustee of a continuing event of default under the indenture, (b) the holders of 25% or more of the outstanding principal amount of the notes have requested in writing that the indenture trustee institute such proceeding in respect of such event of default, (c) the noteholders have offered the indenture trustee reasonable indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred in complying with such request, (d) the indenture trustee has failed to institute such proceeding for 30 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, and (e) no inconsistent direction has been given to the indenture trustee during such 30-day period from the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the notes of the Controlling Class.
 
Subject to the provisions for indemnification and certain limitations contained in the indenture, the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the notes of the Controlling Class have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the indenture trustee; provided, however, that such direction is not in conflict with any rule of law or with the indenture and the indenture trustee may take any other action reasonably deemed proper by the indenture trustee not inconsistent with such direction.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indenture trustee need not take any action that it reasonably determines might materially adversely affect the rights of any noteholders not consenting to such action.
 
 
S-72

 
 
Prior to the declaration of an acceleration of the maturity of the notes in connection with an event of default under the indenture, the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the notes of the Controlling Class may, waive any event of default, except a default in payment of principal of or interest on any of the notes, a default in respect of a covenant or provision of the indenture that cannot be modified without the consent of the holders of all of the outstanding notes or a default arising from an insolvency of the issuing entity.
 
Priority of Payments May Change Upon an Event of Default
 
Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default under the indenture which has resulted in an acceleration of the notes, the priority of payments changes (including payments of principal on the notes).  For a discussion of the priority of payments following an event of default, see “The NotesPriority of Payment Following an Event of Default” in this prospectus supplement.
 
Amendment Provisions
 
The trust agreement, the asset purchase agreement, the sale and servicing agreement, and the administration agreement may be amended by the parties thereto, in each case if the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied and with the consent of the indenture trustee and the holders of a majority of the principal amount of the notes of the Controlling Class (except that the consent of noteholders shall not be necessary for an amendment of the trust agreement to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions thereof that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision in the trust agreement, to add or supplement any credit enhancement arrangement or add any covenants, restrictions or obligations of the parties thereto, to evidence and provide for the acceptance of a successor trustee, co-trustee, or separate trustee to facilitate the administration of the trust, to restrict transfers of the certificate of trust, to modify provisions to allow the trust to acquire and issue securities backed by other assets subject to the satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition, or to make any other changes that, in the opinion of counsel, do not materially and adversely affect the interests of the holders of the trust certificates or the noteholders), provided, however, that no amendment may increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, collections on payments on the collateral or payments that are required to be made for the benefit of the noteholders without the consent of each noteholder.
 
The issuing entity and the indenture trustee, when authorized by an issuing entity order, may, with prior notice to the Hired Agencies and with the consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the notes of the Controlling Class, enter into a supplemental indenture for the purpose of adding provisions to, changing in any manner or eliminating any provisions of, the indenture, or modifying (except as provided below) in any manner the rights of the noteholders.
 
A supplemental indenture that amends, modifies or supplements the rights of the noteholders in any of the following manners will require the consent of the holder of each outstanding note affected thereby:
 
 
changes the date of payment of any installment of principal of or interest on of any note or reduces the principal amount thereof, the interest rate thereon or the redemption price with respect thereto or
 
 
changes any place of payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any note or any interest thereon is payable;
 
 
changes the provision of the indenture relating to the application of collections on, or the proceeds of the sale of, the issuing entity property to payment of principal and interest on the notes;
 
 
changes the definition of “Controlling Class” or any other provision of the indenture specifying the percentage of holders of the notes required  to waive, modify, or amend any rights, make any determination or grant any consent under the indenture;
 
 
modifies or alters the provisions of the indenture regarding the voting of notes held by the issuing entity, any other obligor on the notes, the depositor or an affiliate of any of them, or the definition of the notes;

 
S-73

 

 
 
reduces the percentage of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the notes, the consent of the holders of which is required to direct the indenture trustee to sell or liquidate the receivables and other issuing entity property if the proceeds of the sale would be insufficient to pay the principal amount of and accrued but unpaid interest on the outstanding notes;
 
 
impairs the right of the noteholders to institute suit for the enforcement of the provisions of the indenture requiring the application of funds available to pay any amounts due on the notes on or after their respective due dates (or in the case of redemption on or after the redemption date);
 
 
modifies any provision of the indenture relating to amendments to the indenture other than increasing the percentage specified therein or to provide that certain additional provisions of the Transaction Documents may not be modified or waived without the consent of each noteholder;
 
 
affects the calculation of the amount of interest on or principal of any note payable on any payment date or affects the rights of noteholders to the benefit of any provisions for the mandatory redemption of the notes; or
 
 
permits the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a parity with the lien of the indenture with respect to any of the collateral for the notes or, except as otherwise permitted or contemplated in the indenture, terminates the lien of the indenture on any collateral or deprives the holder of any note of the security afforded by the lien of the indenture.
 
The issuing entity and the indenture trustee may, when authorized by an issuing entity order, also enter into supplemental indentures, without obtaining the consent of the noteholders but with prior notice to the Hired Agencies for the purpose of, among other things, adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the indenture or of modifying in any manner (other than modifications set forth in the preceding paragraph) the rights of those noteholders; provided that the following items have been delivered: (i) an officer’s certificate of the servicer to the effect that such amendment will not materially and adversely affect the interests of the noteholders; (ii) written confirmation from each Hired Agency that such amendment will not cause it to downgrade, qualify or withdraw its rating assigned to any of the notes; and (iii) an opinion of counsel to the effect that such amendment will not materially and adversely affect the interest of any noteholder, affect the treatment of the notes as debt for federal income tax purposes or be deemed to cause a taxable exchange of the notes for federal income tax purposes.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the trust agreement, the administration agreement and transfer agreements may not be amended in any way that would: (i) materially and adversely affect the owner trustee’s or the indenture trustee’s, as applicable, own rights, privileges, indemnities, duties or obligations under the any such agreement without the prior written consent of such person; or (ii) significantly change the permitted activities or powers of the issuing entity even if such amendment would not have an adverse effect on the holders of the notes, without the consent of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding notes.

 
LEGAL INVESTMENT
 
Rule 2a-7 Under the Investment Company Act
 
The Class A-1 notes will be structured to be “eligible securities” for purchase by money market funds as defined in paragraph (a)(12) of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).  Rule 2a-7 includes additional criteria for investments by money market funds, including requirements and clarifications relating to portfolio credit risk analysis, maturity, liquidity and risk diversification.  It is the responsibility solely of the investor and its advisor to satisfy those requirements.
 
EU Capital Requirements Directive
 
Article 122a of the Capital Requirements Directive comprising Directive 2006/48/EC and Directive 2006/49/EC (as amended by Directive 2009/111/EC) (“Article 122a”), permits an EU-regulated credit institution to

 
S-74

 
 
invest in asset-backed securities only if the relevant sponsor or originator has disclosed to investors that it will retain no less than 5% of net economic interest in the securitization transaction. Prior to investing in an asset-backed security, and while it holds that investment, the credit institution must also be able to demonstrate that, among other things, it has a comprehensive and thorough understanding of the securitization transaction and its structural features by satisfying the due diligence requirements and ongoing monitoring obligations of Article 122a.
 
Failure of an EU-regulated credit institution (or any other EU-regulated investor that may become subject to Article 122a) to comply with one or more requirements for an investment in a securitization set forth in Article 122a in any material respect may result in the imposition of a penalty regulatory capital charge on the securities acquired by that credit institution. In addition, Article 122a and any other changes to the regulation or regulatory treatment of asset-backed securities may negatively impact the regulatory position of affected investors and have an adverse impact on the value and liquidity of asset-backed securities such as the notes. Noteholders should analyze their own regulatory position, and are encouraged to consult with their own investment and legal advisors regarding compliance with Article 122a and the suitability of the notes for investment.
 
None of Huntington, the depositor nor any of their respective affiliates is obligated to retain a material net economic interest in the securitization described in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus or to provide any additional information that may be required to enable a credit institution to satisfy the due diligence and monitoring requirements of Article 122a.
 
MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
 
In connection with the offering of notes being offered by this prospectus supplement, Special Tax Counsel will deliver an opinion stating that, for United States federal income tax purposes:
 
 
1.
the issuing entity will not be classified as an association or as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes; and
 
 
2.
the notes will be characterized as debt for United States federal income tax purposes.
 
See “Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying prospectus for a discussion of the United States federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the notes.
 
STATE AND LOCAL TAX CONSEQUENCES
 
The discussion above does not address the tax consequences of purchase, ownership or disposition of the notes under any state or local tax law. We encourage investors to consult their own tax advisors regarding state and local tax consequences.
 
CERTAIN ERISA CONSIDERATIONS
 
Subject to the following discussion the notes may be acquired by pension, profit-sharing or other employee benefit plans subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), as well as individual retirement accounts, Keogh plans and other plans subject to Section 4975 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), as well as any entity whose underlying assets include plan assets of any of the foregoing (each a “Benefit Plan”).  Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit a Benefit Plan from engaging in certain transactions with persons that are “parties in interest” under ERISA or “disqualified persons” under the Code with respect to a Benefit Plan.  A violation of these “prohibited transaction” rules may result in an excise tax or other penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code for such persons or the fiduciaries of a Benefit Plan.  In addition, Title I of ERISA also requires fiduciaries of a Benefit Plan subject to ERISA to make investments that are, among other things prudent, diversified, in the best interest of the plan’s participants and beneficiaries and in accordance with the governing plan documents.

 
S-75

 
 
Fiduciaries of Benefit Plans, in consultation with their advisors, should consider the impact of ERISA and the regulations issued thereunder on a purchase of the notes.  Among other considerations, the fiduciary of a Benefit Plan should take into account the composition of the Benefit Plan’s portfolio with respect to diversification by type of asset; the cash flow needs of the Benefit Plan and the effects thereon of the liquidity of the investment; the Benefit Plan’s funding objectives; the tax effects of the investment and the tax and other risks described in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus; the fact that the holders of the notes will consist of a diverse group of investors and that the management of the issuing entity will not take the particular objectives of any investor or class of investors into account; the fact that the issuing entity is not intended to hold plan assets of any of the investors and, therefore, that neither the issuing entity, the servicer nor any of their respective affiliates, agents or employees will be acting as a fiduciary under ERISA to the Benefit Plan, either with respect to the Benefit Plan’s purchase or retention of its investment or with respect to the management and operation of the business and assets of the issuing entity.
 
In addition, fiduciaries of Benefit Plans should also consider whether an investment in the notes could involve a direct or indirect transaction with a “party in interest” or “disqualified person” with respect to such Benefit Plan, or a prohibited conflict of interest for the fiduciary acting on behalf of the Benefit Plan.  A prohibited transaction or conflict of interest could arise if the fiduciary acting on behalf of the Benefit Plan has any interest in or affiliation with the issuing entity or the servicer.  In the case of an individual retirement account (“IRA”), a prohibited transaction or conflict of interest that involves the beneficiary of the IRA could result in disqualification of the IRA.
 
Employee benefit plans that are governmental plans (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA) and certain church plans (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA) are not subject to ERISA requirements.  However, such plans may be subject to comparable state law restrictions or restrictions imposed by other applicable law.  Plans maintained pursuant to the laws of jurisdictions other than the United States may be subject to comparable restrictions under each jurisdiction’s governing statutes.  Accordingly, fiduciaries of governmental plans, church plans and non-U.S. plans, in consultation with their advisors, should consider the requirements of their respective pension codes with respect to investments in the notes, as well as general fiduciary considerations.
 
Certain transactions involving the issuing entity might be deemed to constitute prohibited transactions under ERISA and the Code with respect to a Benefit Plan that purchased the notes if assets of the issuing entity were deemed to be assets of the Benefit Plan.  Under regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Labor (as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA, the “Plan Asset Regulations”), the assets of the issuing entity will be treated as plan assets of a Benefit Plan for purposes of ERISA and the Code only if the Benefit Plan acquired an “equity interest” in the issuing entity and none of the exceptions contained in the Plan Asset Regulations are applicable.  An equity interest is defined under the Plan Asset Regulations as an interest other than an instrument which is treated as indebtedness under applicable local law and which has no substantial equity features.  Although there is little guidance on the subject, assuming the notes constitute debt for local law purposes, the issuing entity believes that, at the time of their issuance, the notes should constitute indebtedness without substantial equity features for purposes of the Plan Asset Regulations based in part upon the traditional debt features of the notes, including the reasonable likelihood that the notes will be repaid when due and the absence of conversion rights, warrants, beneficial ownership of the issuing entity’s assets and other typical equity features.  The debt treatment of the notes for ERISA purposes may change if the issuing entity incurs losses.  This risk of recharacterization is enhanced for the notes that are subordinated to other classes of securities.
 
However, without regard to whether the notes are treated as an equity interest for purposes of the Plan Asset Regulations, the acquisition, holding or disposition of notes by or on behalf of a Benefit Plan may be considered to give rise to a prohibited transaction under ERISA or the U.S. Internal Revenue Code if the issuing entity, the depositor, the administrator, the servicer, the indenture trustee, the owner trustee and any of their respective affiliates is or becomes a party in interest or a disqualified person with respect to such Benefit Plan.  Certain exemptions from the prohibited transaction rules may be applicable to the purchase, holding or disposition of notes by a Benefit Plan depending on the type and circumstances of the plan fiduciary making the decision to acquire such notes.  Included among these exemptions are:
 
 
Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 96-23, regarding transactions effected by “in-house asset managers”;
 

 
S-76

 

 
PTCE 95-60, as amended, regarding investments by insurance company general accounts;
 
 
PTCE 91-38, as amended, regarding investments by bank collective investment funds;
 
 
PTCE 90-1, regarding investments by insurance company pooled separate accounts; and
 
 
PTCE 84-14, as amended, regarding transactions effected by “qualified professional asset managers.”
 
In addition to the class exemptions listed above, the Pension Protection Act of 2006 provides a statutory exemption under Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code for prohibited transactions between a Benefit Plan and a person or entity that is a party in interest to such Benefit Plan solely by reason of providing services to the Benefit Plan (other than a party in interest that is a fiduciary, or its affiliate, that has or exercises discretionary authority or control or renders investment advice with respect to the assets of the Benefit Plan involved in the transaction), provided that there is adequate consideration for the transaction.  Even if the conditions specified in one or more of these exemptions are met, the scope of the relief provided by these exemptions might or might not cover all acts which might be construed as prohibited transactions.  There can be no assurance that any of these, or any other exemption, will be available with respect to any particular transaction involving the notes and prospective purchasers that are Benefit Plans should consult with their advisors regarding the applicability of any such exemption.
 
By acquiring a note you (and any person to whom you sell a note) will be deemed to represent and warrant that either (i) you are not (and for so long as you hold any such note or interest therein will not be) and you are not acting on behalf of (and for so long as you hold any such note will not be acting on behalf of) (a) an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, which is subject to Title I of ERISA, (b) a “plan” as defined in  Section 4975 of the Code, which is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, (c) an entity deemed to hold “plan assets” of any of the foregoing by reason of investment by an employee benefit plan or plan in such entity, or (d) a governmental, non-U.S. or church plan which is subject to any federal, state, local or non-U.S. law that is substantially similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (any such federal, state, local or non-U.S. law, a “Similar Law”) or (ii) the acquisition, holding and disposition of the note will not give rise to a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a non-exempt violation of any Similar Law.  Any person to whom you sell a note will be deemed to make an identical representation and warranty.
 
Neither the issuing entity, the servicer nor any of their respective affiliates, agents or employees will act as a fiduciary to any Benefit Plan with respect to the Benefit Plan’s decision to invest in the notes.  Each fiduciary or other person with the investment responsibilities over the assets of a Benefit Plan considering an investment in the notes must carefully consider the above factors before making an investment.  Fiduciaries of Benefit Plans considering the purchase of the notes should consult with their legal advisors regarding whether the assets of the issuing entity would be considered plan assets, the possibility of exemptive relief from the prohibited transaction rules and other issues and their potential consequences.
 
See “Certain ERISA Considerations” in the accompanying prospectus for additional considerations applicable to benefit plans that are considering an investment in the notes.

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters are subject to certain conditions precedent and that the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the offered notes if any are purchased. The underwriting agreement provides that, in the event of a default by an underwriter, in certain circumstances the purchase commitments of the non-defaulting underwriter may be increased or the underwriting agreement may be terminated.  The offering of the notes by the underwriters is subject to receipt and acceptance and subject to the underwriters’ right to reject any order in whole or in part.
 
The depositor has been advised by the underwriters that the underwriters propose to offer the classes of notes set forth in the table below to the public initially at the offering prices set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and to certain dealers at these prices less the concessions and reallowance discounts set forth below:

If all of the classes of notes are not sold at the initial offering price, the underwriters may change the offering price and other selling terms.  After the initial public offering, the underwriters may change the public offering price and selling concessions and reallowance discounts to dealers.
 
The depositor and Huntington have agreed jointly and severally to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including civil liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or contribute to payments which the underwriters may be required to make in respect thereby.  In the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and may, therefore, be unenforceable.
 
Until the distribution of the notes is completed, rules of the SEC may limit the ability of the underwriters and certain selling group members to bid for and purchase the notes. As an exception to these rules, the underwriter is permitted to engage in certain transactions that stabilize the prices of the notes. Such transactions consist of bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of such notes.
 
 
S-78

 
 
 
The underwriters may engage in over-allotment transactions, stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids with respect to the notes in accordance with Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended, the “Exchange Act”). Over-allotment transactions involve syndicate sales in excess of the offering size, which creates a syndicate short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the notes so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Syndicate coverage transactions involve purchases of the notes in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the notes originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction. These over-allotment transactions, stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may cause the prices of the notes to be higher than they would otherwise be in the absence of these transactions. Neither the depositor nor any of the underwriters will represent that they will engage in any of these transactions or that these transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.
 
It is expected that delivery of the notes will be made against payment therefor on or about the closing date. Rule 15c6-1 of the SEC under the Exchange Act generally requires trades in the secondary market to settle in three business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade notes on the date hereof will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle more than three business days after the date hereof, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. It is suggested that purchasers of notes who wish to trade notes on the date hereof consult their own advisors.
 
Upon receipt of a request by an investor who has received an electronic prospectus from an underwriter or a request by that investor’s representative within the period during which there is an obligation to deliver a prospectus, the depositor or the underwriters will promptly deliver, or cause to be delivered, without charge, a paper copy of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.
 
In the ordinary course of its business one or more of the underwriters or their respective affiliates have provided, and in the future may provide other investment banking and commercial banking services to Huntington, the depositor, the servicer, the issuing entity and their affiliates.   An affiliate of one of the underwriters is the sponsor and an affiliate of one of the underwriters is the indenture trustee.
 
The indenture trustee, on behalf of the issuing entity and at the direction of the servicer, may from time to time invest the funds in accounts and Permitted Investments acquired from the underwriters or their affiliates.
 
The notes are new issues of securities with no established trading market. The underwriters tell us that they intend to make a market in the notes as permitted by applicable laws and regulations. However, the underwriters are not obligated to make a market in the notes and any such market-making may be discontinued at any time at the sole discretion of the underwriters. Accordingly, we give no assurance regarding the liquidity of, or trading markets for, the notes.
 
The depositor will receive aggregate proceeds of approximately $           from the sale of the notes (representing approximately     % of the initial principal amount of the notes after paying the aggregate underwriting discount of $           on the notes.  Additional offering expenses are estimated to be $1,000,000.
 
Offering Restrictions
 
Each underwriter has severally represented to and agreed with the issuing entity that:
 
            it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 of the United Kingdom, as amended (“FSMA”) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of any notes in circumstances in which Section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to the issuing entity; and
 
 
 
S-79

 
 
 
            it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by it in relation to any notes in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom.
 
For more information regarding the underwriters and the plan of distribution, see “Plan of Distribution” in the Prospectus.
 
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This prospectus supplement, including information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, may contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In addition, certain statements made in future SEC filings by the issuing entity or the depositor, in press releases and in oral and written statements made by or with the issuing entity’s or the depositor’s approval may constitute forward-looking statements. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include information relating to, among other things, continued and increased business competition, an increase in delinquencies (including increases due to worsening of economic conditions), changes in demographics, changes in local, regional or national business, economic, political and social conditions, regulatory and accounting initiatives, changes in customer preferences, and costs of integrating new businesses and technologies, many of which are beyond the control of Huntington and the issuing entity or the depositor. Forward-looking statements also include statements using words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “hope,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “estimate” or similar expressions. The issuing entity and the depositor have based these forward-looking statements on their current plans, estimates and projections, and you should not unduly rely on them.
 
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including the risks discussed below. Future performance and actual results may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements.

____________________
(1) Data for periods after 60 months is not presented due to the relatively smaller size of the denominator.  The ABS speed is a measurement of the non-scheduled amortization of the pool of receivables and is derived by calculating a monthly single month mortality rate, or SMM, which is the sum of the non-scheduled reduction in the balance of the pool of receivables, including prepayments and defaults, divided by the beginning of month receivables pool balance less any scheduled payments received. The scheduled principal is calculated assuming that the scheduled principal payment during the remaining term of each receivable is the scheduled principal payment determined at origination of that receivable and that the receivables have been aggregated into a single pool. The non-scheduled amortization is assumed to be the difference between the beginning receivables pool balance less the scheduled principal minus the actual ending receivables pool balance. The SMM is converted into the ABS speed by dividing (a) the SMM by (b) the sum of (i) one and (ii) the SMM multiplied by the age of the pool, in months, minus one. The age of the pool is assumed to be the weighted average age of the pool at the first day of the applicable month minus the number of months since the first day of the applicable month.

(1)
The “Prepayment Amount” is defined as the non-scheduled amortization of the pool of receivables for the applicable period.  This includes voluntary prepayments, voluntary early payoffs, payments from third parties, repurchases, aggregate amount of defaulted receivables and servicer advances.
   
 
This prepayment amount is converted into a monthly Single Month Mortality Rate (“SMM”) expressed as a percentage which is the Prepayment Amount divided by the previous month’s actual month-end aggregate Net Pool Balance less the scheduled payments made during the month.
   
 
The “Prepayment Speeds” shown in the chart are derived by converting the SMM into the ABS Speed by dividing (a) the SMM by (b) the sum of (i) one and (ii) the SMM multiplied by the age of the pool, in months, minus one.  The age of the pool is assumed to be the weighted average of the pool at the cut-off date plus the number of months since the cut-off date.

Period 1 of HUNT 2012-2 covered a period of 59 days.

RISK FACTORS
 
An investment in the securities involves significant risks. Before you decide to invest, you should carefully consider the risk factors here and in the accompanying prospectus supplement.
 
You must rely for repayment only upon
the issuing entity’s assets, which may
not be sufficient to make full payments
on your securities
 
 
 
Your securities are either secured by or represent beneficial ownership interests solely in the assets of the related issuing entity. Your securities will not represent an interest in or obligation of Huntington Bancshares Inc., The Huntington National Bank a national banking association (“Huntington”), Huntington Funding, LLC or any of their respective affiliates. Distributions on any class of securities will depend solely on the amount and timing of payments and other collections in respect of the related receivables and any credit enhancement for the securities. We cannot assure you that these amounts will be sufficient to make full and timely distributions on your securities. The securities and the receivables will not be insured or guaranteed, in whole or in part, by the United States or any governmental entity or, unless specifically set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, by any provider of credit enhancement.
   
You may experience a loss if defaults
on the receivables and related losses
exceed the available credit, liquidity
or cash flow enhancement
 
 
 
The issuing entity does not have, nor is it permitted or expected to have, any significant assets or sources of funds other than the receivables together with its right to payments under any interest rate cap agreement, currency swap agreement or credit enhancement and available funds in certain accounts. The securities of a series represent obligations solely of the issuing entity and will not be insured or guaranteed by any entity unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement. Accordingly, you will rely primarily upon collections on the receivables owned by the issuing entity for your series of securities and, to the extent available, any credit enhancement for the issuing entity, including payments under any interest rate cap agreement or currency swap and amounts on deposit in any reserve account or similar account. Funds on deposit in any reserve account or similar account will cover shortfalls due to delinquencies and losses on the receivables up to some level. However, if delinquencies and losses create shortfalls which exceed the available credit enhancement for your series of securities, you may experience delays in payments due to you and you could suffer a loss. You will have no claim to any amounts properly distributed to the depositor or others from time to time.
   
Returns on your investments may be
reduced by prepayments on the
receivables, events of default, optional
redemption of the securities or
repurchases of receivables from the
issuing entity
 
 
 
 
 
You may receive payments on your securities earlier than you expected for the reasons set forth below. You may not be able to invest the amounts paid to you earlier than you expected at a rate of return that is equal to or greater than the rate of return on your securities.

 

 


   
The rate of return of principal is uncertain. The amount of distributions of principal of your securities and the time when you receive those distributions depend on the amount in which and times at which obligors make principal payments on the receivables. Those principal payments may be regularly scheduled payments or unscheduled payments resulting from prepayments or defaults of the receivables. Additionally, if an originator, the sponsor, the depositor or the servicer is required to repurchase receivables from the issuing entity, payment of principal of the securities will be accelerated.
 
   
You may be unable to reinvest distributions in comparable investments. The occurrence of an optional redemption event or events of default resulting in acceleration may require repayment of the securities prior to the expected principal payment date for one or more classes of securities of a series. Asset-backed securities such as your securities usually produce a faster return of principal to investors if market interest rates fall below the interest rates on the receivables and produce a slower return of principal when market interest rates are above the interest rates on the receivables. As a result, you are likely to receive more money to reinvest at a time when other investments generally are producing a lower yield than that on your securities, and are likely to receive less money to reinvest when other investments generally are producing a higher yield than that on your securities. You will bear the risk that the timing and amount of distributions on your securities will prevent you from attaining your desired yield.
 
   
An early redemption of the securities will shorten the life of your investment which may reduce your yield to maturity. If the receivables are sold upon exercise of a “clean-up call” or other repurchase by the servicer or any other entity specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the issuing entity will redeem the securities and you will receive the remaining principal amount of your securities plus any other amounts due to securityholders, such as accrued interest, through the related payment date. Because your securities will no longer be outstanding, you will not receive the additional interest payments or other distributions that you would have received had the securities remained outstanding. If you bought your securities at par or at a premium, your yield to maturity will be lower than it would have been if the optional redemption had not been exercised.
 
The failure to make interest and principal
payments on any securities of a series
will generally not result in an event of
default under the related indenture
until the applicable final scheduled
payment date
 
 
 
 
 
The amount of principal and, if specified in the prospectus supplement, interest required to be paid to investors prior to the applicable final scheduled payment date set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement generally will be limited to amounts available for that purpose. Therefore, the failure to pay principal and, if specified in the prospectus supplement, interest of a security generally will not result in an event of default under the indenture until the applicable final scheduled payment date for the applicable series of securities.

 

 


The issuing entity’s interest in the
receivables could be defeated because
the contracts will not be delivered to
the issuing entity
 
 
 
The contracts evidencing the receivables are expected to constitute chattel paper for purposes of applicable commercial law.  To the extent that physical contracts exist for any receivables, the servicer (or indenture trustee) will be required to maintain possession of any and all original contracts for that receivable. To the extent that the contracts for any receivables are in electronic form, the servicer will be required to ensure that the record or records comprising such electronic contracts are created, stored and assigned in such a manner as to provide the trustee with control over such electronic chattel paper. If the servicer transfers control over the original contracts for any receivables to another party, in violation of its obligations under the agreements for the securities, that other party (as well as creditors of a dealer through whom the receivable was originated) could acquire an interest in those receivables having a priority over the issuing entity’s interest. Furthermore, if the servicer becomes the subject of a conservatorship or receivership or other insolvency proceeding, competing claims to ownership or security interests in the receivables could arise. These claims, even if unsuccessful, could result in delays in payments on the securities. If successful, these claims could result in losses or delays in payment to you or an acceleration of the repayment of the securities.
 
 
If the depositor or the issuing entity were to become the subject to an FDIC receivership under the Orderly Liquidation Authority (the “OLA”) provisions created by Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) could assert a statutory basis of authority to seek to defeat the priority of the indenture trustee’s security interest in the financed vehicles as a voidable preference notwithstanding that a bankruptcy trustee in a case under the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) would not have a statutory basis of authority under the Bankruptcy Code to make a similar assertion of a voidable preference.  . On July 6, 2011, the FDIC issued a final rule that, among other things, codified the Acting General Counsel’s interpretation that the FDIC would not exercise its authority under the OLA to seek to reclaim, recover or recharacterize as property of a covered subsidiary or the receivership assets transferred by a covered subsidiary if the transfer satisfied the conditions for the exclusion of such assets from the property of the estate of the covered subsidiary under the Bankruptcy Code.  For a further discussion of this issue, see “Material Insolvency Aspects of the Offerings—Certain Insolvency Considerations Under the Dodd-Frank Act Orderly Liquidation Authority Provisions” in this prospectus.
 
The issuing entity’s and the indenture
trustee’s security interest in
the financed vehicles will not be noted
on the certificates of title, which may
cause losses on your securities
 
 
 
 
Upon the origination of a receivable, Huntington has taken a security interest in the related financed vehicle by placing a lien on the title to the financed vehicle. In connection with each sale of receivables to the

 

 


 
depositor, the originator will assign its security interest in the financed vehicle to the depositor, which will further assign its security interest to the issuing entity. Finally, the issuing entity will pledge its interest in the financed vehicle as collateral for the securities. The lien certificate or certificate of title relating to each of the financed vehicles will not be amended or reissued to identify the issuing entity as the new secured party. In the absence of an amendment or reissuance of the lien certificate or certificate of title, the issuing entity may not have a perfected security interest in the applicable financed vehicle in some states.
 
 
The depositor, the servicer, or another entity may be required to purchase or repurchase, as applicable, any receivable sold to the issuing entity as to which it failed to obtain or maintain a perfected security interest in the financed vehicle securing the receivable. These purchase and repurchase obligations are limited to breaches that materially and adversely affect the interests of the securityholders in the receivable and are subject to the expiration of a cure period. If the issuing entity has failed to obtain or maintain a perfected security interest in a financed vehicle, its security interest would be subordinate to the interests of, among others, a bankruptcy trustee of the obligor, a subsequent purchaser of the financed vehicle or a holder of a perfected security interest in the financed vehicle or a bankruptcy trustee of such holder. If the issuing entity attempts to repossess the related financed vehicle in which another person had a prior lien, it might not be able to realize any liquidation proceeds on the financed vehicle and, as a result, you may suffer a loss on your investment in the securities.
 
Lack of first priority liens on financed
vehicles or receivables could make the
receivables uncollectible and reduce
or delay payments on the notes
 
 
 
If the security interests in the financed vehicles as described in “Material Legal Aspects of the Receivables-Security Interest in Financed Vehicles” are not properly perfected, the interests of the depositor, the issuing entity and the indenture trustee in the financed vehicles would be subordinate to, among others, the following:
   
   
(1)
bankruptcy trust of the obligor,
 
 
(2)
subsequent purchaser of the financed vehicle, and
 
 
(3)
holder of a perfected security interest.
   
 
The issuing entity and the indenture trustee may not be able to collect on a defaulted receivable in the absence of a perfected security interest in vehicle financed by the receivable.  Even if the issuing entity and the indenture trustee were to have a perfected security interest in the financed vehicles, events could jeopardize the enforceability of that interest, such as:
   
   
(1)
fraud or forgery by the vehicle owner,
 
 
(2)
negligence or fraud by the servicer,
 
 
(3)
mistakes by government agencies, and

 

 


   
(4)
liens for repairs or unpaid taxes.
 
 
See “Material Legal Aspects of the Receivables—Security Interest in Financed Vehicles” in this prospectus.
 
 
If a third party purchases or perfects a first priority security interest in the receivables through control
 
   
(1)
for value,
 
   
(2)
in the ordinary course of business, and
 
   
(3)
without actual knowledge of the depositor’s, the issuing entity’s or the indenture trustee’s interest in the receivables
 
 
then that purchaser or secured party will acquire an interest in the receivables that is senior to the issuing entity’s and the indenture trustee’s interest, and the collections on those receivables may not be available to make payments on your notes to the extent of such purchaser’s or secured party’s interest.
 
New car incentive purchase
programs, price reductions and
other market factors may
reduce the value of the vehicles
that secure the receivables
 
 
 
 
Vehicles that are repossessed are typically sold at vehicle auctions as used vehicles. The pricing of used cars is affected by the supply and demand for those cars, which in turn, is affected by consumer tastes, economic factors, fuel efficiency, the introduction and pricing of new car models and other factors. Decisions by manufacturers with respect to new vehicle production, pricing and incentives may also affect used car prices, particularly those for the same or similar models. A decrease in the demand for used cars may impact the resale value of the vehicles securing the receivables. Additionally, decreases in the value of those vehicles may, in turn, reduce the incentive of obligors to make payments on the receivables, thereby decreasing the proceeds realized by the issuing entity from vehicle repossessions.
 
The originator, the servicer
and the depositor have limited
obligations to the issuing entity and will
not make payments on the securities
 
 
 
The originator, the servicer, the depositor and their affiliates are not obligated to make any payments to you on your securities. The originator, the servicer, the depositor and their affiliates do not guarantee payments on the receivables or your securities. However, the originator will make representations and warranties about the characteristics of the receivables.
 
 
If a representation or warranty made by the originator with respect to a receivable is untrue, or if the originator breaches a covenant with respect to a receivable, then the originator or another entity may be required to repurchase that receivable. If the originator or another entity fails to repurchase that receivable, you might experience delays and/or reductions in payments on the securities. In addition, the servicer may be required to purchase receivables in some circumstances such as a

 

 


 
breach of contract that impairs the issuing entity’s interests therein. If the servicer breaches an obligation to purchase any receivables in such circumstances, you might experience delays and/or reductions in payments on your securities.
 
 
See The Transaction Documents — Payments and Distributions on the Securities” in this prospectus.
 
Interests of other persons in the
receivables and financed vehicles
could be superior to the issuing entity’s
interest, which may result in reduced
payments on your securities
 
 
 
 
The issuing entity could lose the priority of its security interest in a financed vehicle due to, among other things, liens for repairs or storage of a financed vehicle or for unpaid taxes of an obligor. None of the servicer, the originator or their affiliates will have any obligation to purchase or repurchase a receivable if these liens result in the loss of the priority of the security interest in the financed vehicle after the issuance of securities by the issuing entity. Generally, no action will be taken to perfect the rights of the issuing entity in proceeds of any insurance policies or similar instruments covering individual financed vehicles or obligors. Therefore, the rights of a third party with an interest in the proceeds could prevail against the rights of the issuing entity prior to the time the proceeds are deposited by the servicer into an account controlled by the trustee for the securities. See “Material Legal Aspects of the Receivables — Security Interests in the Financed Vehicles” in this prospectus. In certain circumstances in a receivership of the issuing entity or the depositor the FDIC as receiver may have statutory authority to assert that the indenture trustee’s lien in the financed vehicles is void as a preferential transfer regardless of whether it was properly perfected at the time of the grant.  For a further discussion of this issue, see “Material Insolvency Aspects of the Offerings—Certain Insolvency Considerations Under the Dodd-Frank Act Orderly Liquidation Authority Provisions” in this prospectus.
 
You may experience a loss or a delay
in receiving payments on the securities
if the assets of the issuing entity are
liquidated
 
 
 
If certain events of default under the indenture occur and the securities of a series are accelerated, the related indenture trustee may liquidate the assets of the related issuing entity. If a liquidation occurs close to the date when any class of securities otherwise would have been paid in full, repayment of that class might be delayed while liquidation of the assets is occurring. The issuing entity cannot predict the length of time that will be required for liquidation of the assets of the issuing entity to be completed. In addition, liquidation proceeds may not be sufficient to repay the securities of that series in full. Even if liquidation proceeds are sufficient to repay the securities in full, any liquidation that causes the outstanding principal balance of a class of securities to be paid before the related final scheduled payment date will involve prepayment risks.  These are described under “—Returns on your investments may be reduced by prepayments on the receivables, events of default, optional redemption of the securities or repurchases of receivables from the issuing entity” in this prospectus.

 

 


Extensions and deferrals of payments
on receivables could increase the
average life of the securities.
 
 
In some circumstances, the servicer may, in accordance with the applicable servicing standard, permit an extension on payments due on receivables on a case-by-case basis. In addition, the servicer may from time to time offer obligors an opportunity to defer payments. Any of these extensions or deferrals may extend the maturity of the receivables and increase the weighted average life of the securities. The weighted average life and yield on your securities may be adversely affected by extensions and deferrals on the receivables. However, if specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the servicer will be required to purchase a receivable from the issuing entity if it extends the term of the receivable beyond the last day of the collection period ending six months prior to the latest final scheduled payment date for any class of related securities.
 
The return on your securities may be
reduced due to varying economic
circumstances.
 
 
A deterioration in economic conditions could adversely affect the ability and willingness of obligors to meet their payment obligations under the receivables. These economic conditions could deteriorate in connection with an economic recession or could be due to events such as rising oil prices, housing price declines, terrorist events, extreme weather conditions or an increase of an obligor’s payment obligations under other indebtedness incurred by the obligor.  As a result, you may experience payment delays and losses on your securities. An improvement in economic conditions could result in prepayments by the obligors of their payment obligations under the receivables. As a result, you may receive principal payments of your securities earlier than anticipated. No prediction or assurance can be made as to the effect of an economic downturn or economic growth on the rate of delinquencies, prepayments and/or losses on the receivables.
 
Federal financial regulation and
legislation could have an adverse effect
on Huntington, the depositor and/or an
issuing entity, which could result in
losses or delays in payments
on your notes
 
 
 
 
 
On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Act, which generally became effective on July 22, 2010, except that many provisions will not take effect for a year or more and many will require implementing regulations to be issued. The Dodd-Frank Act, amongst other things:
   
   
The Dodd-Frank Act affects the offering, marketing and regulation of consumer financial products and services offered by financial institutions.  In addition, it creates the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (the “BCFP”) a new agency
 
   
responsible for administering and enforcing the laws and regulations for consumer financial products and services;
 
   
creates a new framework for the regulation of over-the-counter derivatives activities;
 
   
strengthens the regulatory oversight of securities and capital markets activities by the SEC; and
 

 

 


   
creates a liquidation framework for the resolution of bank holding companies and other non-bank financial companies defined as “covered financial companies” or their “covered subsidiaries.”
 
 
The BCFP will have supervision, examination and enforcement authority over the consumer financial products and services of certain non-depository institutions and large insured depository institutions, including the ability to define and regulate unfair and deceptive practices. This may result in increased cost of operations due to greater regulatory oversight, supervision and examination and limitations on Huntington’s ability to expand product and service offerings due to stricter consumer protection laws and regulations.
 
 
The Dodd-Frank Act increases the regulation of the securitization markets.  For example, pending final rules, it will require securitizers or originators to retain an economic interest in a portion of the credit risk for any asset that they securitize or originate. It will also give broader powers to the SEC to regulate credit rating agencies and adopt regulations governing these organizations and their activities.  Compliance with the implementing regulations under the Dodd-Frank Act or the oversight of the SEC or BCFP, as applicable, may impose costs on, create operational constraints for, or place limits on pricing with respect to banks and other financial companies such as Huntington. Until implementing regulations are issued, no assurance can be given that these new requirements imposed by the Dodd-Frank Act will not have a significant impact on the servicing of the receivables, on the regulation and supervision of the servicer, the sponsor, the originator, the depositor, the issuing entity or their respective affiliates.  Additionally, no assurances can be given that the liquidation framework for the resolution of “covered subsidiaries” would not apply to certain subsidiaries and affiliates of Huntington, including the depositor and the issuing entity.

If the FDIC were appointed receiver of Huntington under the FDIA or of the depositor or the issuing entity under the OLA of Title II of the Dodd-Frank Act, the FDIC could repudiate contracts deemed burdensome to the estate, including secured debt. Huntington has structured the transfer of the receivables to the depositor as a valid and perfected sale under applicable state law and under the Bankruptcy Code to mitigate the risk of the recharacterization of the sale as a security interest to secure debt of Huntington. Any attempt by the FDIC to recharacterize the transfer of the receivables as a security interest to secure debt that the FDIC then repudiates would cause delays in payments or losses on the notes. In addition, if the issuing entity were to become subject to the OLA, the FDIC may repudiate the debt of an issuing entity. Also, if the issuing entity were subject to OLA, noteholders would not be permitted to accelerate the debt, exercise remedies against the collateral or replace the servicer without the FDIC’s consent for 90 days after the receiver is appointed. As a result of any of these events, delays in payments on the notes would occur and possible reductions in the amount of those payments could occur.

Liquidation Authority” and “Risk Factors—If a conservator or receiver were appointed for Huntington or if the depositor became a debtor in a bankruptcy case, delays or reductions in payment of your securities could occur” in this prospectus.
 
 
In addition, and also assuming that the FDIC were appointed receiver of the depositor or the issuing entity under the OLA, the FDIC could avoid transfers of receivables that are deemed “preferential”. Under one potential interpretation of the OLA, the FDIC could avoid the depositor’s transfer of receivables to the issuing entity and the grant of a security interest to the indenture trustee to the extent such security interest were perfected merely by the filing of a Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC ) financing statement rather than by control over the related chattel paper. If the transfer or grant were voided as a preference under the OLA, noteholders would have only an unsecured claim in the receivership for the purchase price of the receivables. The FDIC has adopted a regulation to the effect that the preference provisions of the OLA should be interpreted in a manner consistent with those of the Bankruptcy Code. See “Certain Material Insolvency Aspects of the Offering – Certain Insolvency Considerations Under the Dodd-Frank Act Orderly Liquidation Authority – FDIC’s Avoidance Power Under the OLA” in this prospectus.
 
 
The full impact of the Dodd-Frank Act on the financial markets and its participants and on the asset backed securities market in particular will not be known for some time. No assurance can be given that the Dodd-Frank Act and its implementing regulations, or the imposition of additional regulations including the orderly liquidation authority of the Dodd-Frank Act, will not have a significant adverse impact on the issuing entity, the depositor, the sponsor or the servicer, including on the servicing of the receivables, or the price that a subsequent purchaser would be willing to pay for your notes.
 
The return on your securities could
be reduced by shortfalls due to
application of the Servicemembers
Civil Relief Act
 
 
 
The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (“Relief Act”) may limit the interest payable on a receivable during an obligor’s period of active military duty and for one year thereafter. This legislation could adversely affect the ability of the servicer to collect full amounts of interest on a receivable as well as to foreclose on an affected receivable during and, in certain circumstances, after the obligor’s period of active military duty. This legislation may thus result in delays and losses in payments to holders of the securities. See “Material Legal Aspects of the Receivables — Servicemembers Civil Relief Act” in this prospectus.
 
Failure to comply with
consumer protection laws could
result in a loss
 
 
Federal and state consumer protection laws impose requirements on consumer credit contracts such as the receivables. The failure by the applicable originator to comply with these requirements may give rise to liabilities on the part of the issuing entity of a series of securities. Each applicable originator or one of its affiliates will represent and warrant that each receivable transferred to the issuing entity complies with applicable law in all material respects. If that representation and warranty proves incorrect with respect to any such receivable,

 

 


 
materially and adversely affects the interests of the issuing entity and is not timely cured, the entity that made the incorrect representation will be required to repurchase the ineligible receivable from the issuing entity. To the extent that the noncompliant receivable is not repurchased or to the extent that a court holds the issuing entity liable for violating consumer protection laws regardless of such a repurchase, a failure to comply with consumer protection laws could result in the issuing entity being required to make payments that would reduce the amount of funds available for distribution to holders of securities. If sufficient funds are not available to make both payments to obligors and on your securities, you may suffer a loss on your investment in the securities.
 
 
For a discussion of federal and state consumer protection laws that may affect the receivables, you should refer to Material Legal Aspects of the Receivables — Consumer Protection Law” in this prospectus.
 
Changes to federal or state bankruptcy
or debtor relief laws may impede
collection efforts or alter timing and
amount of collections, which may result
in acceleration of or reduction in
payment on your securities
 
 
 
 
 
If an obligor sought protection under federal or state bankruptcy or debtor relief laws, a court could reduce or discharge completely the obligor’s obligations to repay amounts due on its receivable. As a result, that receivable would be written off as uncollectible. You could suffer a loss if no funds are available from credit enhancement or other sources and finance charge amounts allocated to the securities are insufficient to cover the applicable default amount.
 
The depositor or an originator bankruptcy
could delay or limit payments to
you
 
 
Each transfer of the receivables by an originator that is subject to the Bankruptcy Code to the depositor will be structured with the intent that it constitute a sale without recourse of all of its right, title and interest in and to the receivables for purposes of applicable commercial law and insolvency law.  Following a bankruptcy or insolvency of the depositor or an originator that is a debtor in a case under the Bankruptcy Code or is subject to a FDIC receivership under the OLA, a court could conclude that the receivables for your series of securities are owned by the originator or the depositor, instead of by the issuing entity. This could be either because the court concluded that any transfer of the receivables was not a true sale or because the court concluded that the depositor or the issuing entity should be substantively consolidated with (i.e. treated as the same entity as) the originator or the depositor for bankruptcy purposes. If this were to occur, you could experience delays in payments due to you or you may not ultimately receive all amounts due to you as a result of:
 
   
the automatic stay, which prevents a secured creditor from exercising remedies against a debtor in bankruptcy without permission from the court, and provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code that permit substitution of collateral in limited circumstances;

 
10 

 


   
tax or government liens on the originator’s or the depositor’s property that arose prior to the transfer of the receivables to the issuing entity and that have a prior claim on collections before the collections are used to make payments on the securities; or
 
   
the fact that the issuing entity and the indenture trustee for your series of securities may not have a perfected security interest in any cash collections of the receivables held by the servicer at the time that a bankruptcy proceeding begins.
 
 
The depositor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Huntington that has been structured in such a way as to be bankruptcy remote in the unlikely situation that Huntington will become subject to FDIC receivership or conservatorship. The depositor’s operating agreement limits the nature of its business and restricts its ability to commence a voluntary case under the bankruptcy code without the unanimous consent of its member and board of directors (including all independent directors).
 
 
If, notwithstanding the limits on its activities and its authority it files a voluntary bankruptcy petition, the depositor became a debtor in a bankruptcy case, and if the transfer of the receivables to the issuing entity were construed as the grant of a security interest to secure a borrowing, your payments of outstanding principal and interest could be delayed and possibly reduced. In addition, if the depositor became a debtor in a bankruptcy case and its assets and liabilities were substantively consolidated with those of Huntington, your payments of outstanding principal and interest could be delayed and possibly reduced.
 
 
For a discussion of how a bankruptcy proceeding of the originator or the depositor may affect the issuing entity and the securities, you should refer to Insolvency Aspects of the Offering—Certain Insolvency Considerations Under the Bankruptcy Code” in this prospectus, as well as Risk Factors — If a conservator or receiver were appointed for Huntington or if the depositor became a debtor in a bankruptcy case, delays or reductions in payment of your securities could occur” in this prospectus.
 
If a conservator or receiver
were appointed for Huntington delays
or reductions in payment of your
securities could occur
 
 
 
Huntington is a national bank and its deposits are insured by the FDIC.  If Huntington (or an originator that is an FDIC-insured depositary institution) were to become insolvent or in certain other circumstances a conservator or receiver may be appointed for it, which would likely be the FDIC.  The FDIC as receiver or conservator would have broad powers to delay or reduce payments on your notes, if the FDIC were to be successful in:
 
   
recharacterizing the transfer of the receivables to the depositor in the securitization as a loan secured by the receivables or otherwise attempting to recapture the receivables that have been conveyed to the issuing entity; or

 
11

 


   
requiring the issuing entity, as assignee of the depositor, to go through an administrative claims procedure to establish its rights to payments collected on the receivables; or
 
   
requesting a stay of proceedings to liquidate claims or otherwise enforce contractual and legal remedies against Huntington; or
 
   
invoking provisions of federal law that, if applicable, would automatically prevent the indenture trustee and other transaction parties from exercising their rights, remedies and interests for a period of 45 days (in the case of a conservatorship) or 90 days (in the case of a receivership).
 
 
To limit the FDIC’s potential use of any of these powers, we intend to structure transactions as a “true sale” under common law  and to comply in all material respects with an FDIC regulation entitled “Treatment of financial assets transferred in connection with a securitization or participation,” which provides a safe harbor from the exercise of FDIC receivership or conservatorship powers (the “FDIC Safe Harbor Rule”).  The FDIC Safe Harbor Rule limits the power of the FDIC as conservator or receiver to delay or prevent payments to noteholders in securitization transactions, although the extent of the protective relief is less for transactions that are accounted for as on-balance sheet transactions under generally accepted accounting principles than for transactions that are accounted for as sales under generally accepted accounting principles.
 
 
Although we intend to structure transactions to comply in all material respects with the FDIC Safe Harbor Rule, the application of the FDIC Safe Harbor Rule to a transaction is subject to several ambiguities and untested interpretive issues, and there can be no assurance that a transaction would satisfy all of the requirements to qualify for such safe harbor despite good faith efforts to comply.
 
 
For a description of the FDIC Safe Harbor Rule and related provisions of the FDIA, see “Material Insolvency Aspects of the Offerings— Certain Insolvency Considerations Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act—FDIC Safe Harbor Rule” in this prospectus.
 
 
A conservator or receiver for the servicer may have the power to prevent either the indenture trustee or the securityholders from appointing a new servicer.  In addition, bank regulatory agencies may require the priority of payments to be reformed if they consider that the amount and priority of the servicing fee as such that the servicing fee does not adequately compensate the servicer for the actual costs of servicing the portfolio.
 
 
Finally, if Huntington or any of its affiliates were to become insolvent, obligors might respond by delaying or withholding payments on the receivables, even without legal or contractual justification. This could result in delays or reductions in payments on your securities.
 
 
For a description of insolvency issues that could affect the transaction, see “Material Insolvency Aspects of the Offerings— Certain Insolvency Considerations Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act—FDIC Safe Harbor Rule” in this prospectus.

Adverse events with respect to
Huntington or its affiliates or
third party providers to whom
Huntington outsources its activities could
affect  the timing of payments on your
securities or have other adverse effects
on your securities
 
 
 
 
 
 
Adverse events with respect to Huntington, any of its affiliates or a third party provider to whom Huntington or its affiliates outsource their activities could result in servicing disruptions or reduce the market value of your securities. In the event of a termination and replacement of Huntington as the servicer, there may be some disruption of collection activity with respect to delinquent loans and an increase of delinquencies and credit losses on the receivables. Similarly, investors could suffer losses if the sponsor or originator becomes unable to repurchase any receivables that do not on the date of transfer comply with representations and warranties about the receivables made by that entity in the related transfer agreement (for example, representations relating to the compliance of the loan receivables with applicable laws). In addition, adverse corporate developments with respect to originators and servicers of asset-backed securities or their affiliates have in some cases also resulted in a reduction in the market value of the related asset-backed securities.
The absence of a secondary market for
the securities could limit your ability to
resell your securities
 
 
If you want to sell your securities, you must locate a purchaser that is willing to purchase them. The underwriters may make a secondary market for the securities of any series, as and to the extent disclosed in the prospectus supplement for that series, by offering to buy the securities from investors that wish to sell. However, the underwriters will not be obligated to make offers to buy the securities and may stop making offers at any time. In addition, the prices offered, if any, may not reflect prices that other potential purchasers would be willing to pay, were they to be given the opportunity. There have been times in the past where there have been very few buyers of asset-backed securities, and similar periods of illiquidity may occur again in the future. As a result, you may not be able to sell your securities when you want to do so or you may not be able to obtain the price that you wish to receive.
Because the securities are in book-entry
form, your rights can only be exercised
indirectly
 
 
Because the securities will initially be issued in book-entry form, you will be required to hold your interest in your securities through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) in the United States or through Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream”) or Euroclear Bank S.A./NV (“Euroclear Bank”) as operator of the Euroclear System in Europe or Asia as participants of DTC.  Transfers of interests in the securities within DTC, Clearstream or Euroclear Bank as operator of Euroclear must be made in accordance with the usual rules and operating procedures of those systems. So long as the securities are in book-entry form, you will not be entitled to receive a definitive security representing your interest.  The securities of a series will remain in book-entry form except in the limited circumstances described under the caption “The Securities - Form, Exchange, Registration and Title - Definitive Securities” in this prospectus. Unless

 
13

 


 
and until the securities cease to be held in book-entry form, the related transaction parties will not recognize you as a holder of the related security.
 
 
As a result, you will only be able to exercise the rights as a securityholder indirectly through DTC (if in the United States) and its participating organizations, or Clearstream and Euroclear (if outside the United States) and their participating organizations. Holding the securities in book-entry form could also limit your ability to pledge or transfer your securities to persons or entities that do not participate in DTC, Clearstream, or Euroclear.  In addition, having the securities in book-entry form may reduce their liquidity in the secondary market since certain potential investors may be unwilling to purchase securities for which they cannot obtain physical securities.
 
 
Interest on and principal of the securities of any series will be paid by the related issuing entity to DTC as the record holder of those securities while they are held in book-entry form. DTC will credit payments received from the issuing entity to the accounts of its participants which, in turn, will credit those amounts to securityholders either directly or indirectly through indirect participants. This process may delay your receipt of payments from the issuing entity.
 
The ratings for the securities are
limited in scope, may not continue to
be issued and do not consider the
suitability of an investment in the
securities for you
 
 
 
 
One or more classes of securities may receive a rating or ratings from such number of rating agencies as is specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. The rating considers only the likelihood that the issuing entity will pay interest on time and will ultimately pay principal in full or make full distributions of the outstanding balance of the securities. A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold the securities. Ratings on the securities may be lowered, qualified or withdrawn at any time after the securities are issued without notice from the issuing entity or the depositor. A rating downgrade may reduce the price that a subsequent purchaser will be willing to pay for the securities. Ratings on the securities do not address the timing of distributions of principal on the securities prior to the applicable final scheduled payment date. The ratings do not consider the prices of the securities or their suitability to a particular investor. If a rating agency changes its rating or withdraws a rating, no one has an obligation to provide additional credit enhancement or to restore the original rating.
 
The securities may not be a suitable
investment for you
 
The securities are not a suitable investment for you if you require a regular or predictable schedule of payments or payment on any specific date. The securities are complex investments that should be considered only by investors who, either alone or with their financial, tax and legal advisors, have the expertise to analyze the prepayment, reinvestment, default and market risks, the tax consequences of an investment in the securities and the interaction of these factors.

 
14

 


The servicer’s discretion over the
servicing of the receivables may impact
the amount and timing of funds available
to make payments on the securities
The servicer is obligated to service the receivables in accordance with its customary practices. The servicer has discretion in servicing the receivables including the ability to grant payment extensions and to determine the timing and method of collection and liquidation procedures.  In addition, the servicer’s customary practices may change from time to time and those changes could reduce collections on the receivables.  Although the servicer’s customary practices at any time will apply to all receivables serviced by the servicer, without regard to whether a receivable has been sold to an issuing entity, the servicer is not obligated to maximize collections from receivables.  Consequently, the manner in which the servicer exercises its serving discretion or changes its customary practices could have an impact on the amount and timing of collections on the receivables, which may impact the amount and timing of funds available to make payments on the securities.

CAPITALIZED TERMS
 
The defined terms used in this prospectus, unless defined elsewhere in this prospectus, are defined in the Glossary beginning on page 72.
 
THE ISSUING ENTITIES
 
For each series of securities, the related issuing entity will be an indirect, wholly owned, special purpose, bankruptcy remote subsidiary of Huntington.  The issuing entity for a series will acquire the issuing entity property described below from the depositor (defined herein) in exchange for the securities of that series which in turn will be offered for sale.
 
As specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, each issuing entity for a series will be either a limited liability company formed pursuant to a limited liability company agreement, a limited partnership formed pursuant to a limited partnership agreement or a trust formed pursuant to a trust agreement between the depositor and the owner trustee specified in the applicable prospectus supplement for that issuing entity. The issuing entity will be formed in accordance with the laws of Delaware or New York as a limited liability company, limited partnership, common law trust, or statutory trust. The fiscal year end of the issuing entity will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. The depositor will sell and assign the receivables and other specified issuing entity property to the issuing entity in exchange for the securities of that issuing entity. The authorized purposes of each issuing entity will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
 
The issuing entity may issue asset-backed notes and may, if a trust, issue asset-backed certificates, in one or more classes, in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined at the time of sale and to be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. The notes and/or certificates of a series are collectively referred to as securities. Any notes that are issued will represent indebtedness of the issuing entity and will be issued and secured pursuant to an indenture between the issuing entity and the indenture trustee specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. Any certificates that are issued will represent beneficial interests in that issuing entity.
 
Subject to and to the extent specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the property of each issuing entity may include (collectively as follows, the “issuing entity property”):
 
   
the receivables identified on the schedule of receivables acquired on the Closing Date and on each subsequent funding date, if any, which are a pool of motor vehicle retail installment sales contracts and/or installment loans made by an originator, a third party or through a dealer that sold a financed vehicle, all of which are secured by new or used automobiles, light-duty trucks and/or other types of motor vehicles;
 
   
collections and all other amounts due under the receivables after the cut-off dates specified in the applicable prospectus supplement;

rights under any interest rate cap agreement and payments made by the cap counterparty under that interest rate cap agreement;
 
   
an originator’s rights to receive any proceeds from claims on any physical damage, credit life, risk default, disability or other insurance policies covering the financed vehicles or obligors or refunds in connection with extended service agreements relating to defaulted receivables from the applicable cut-off date;
 
   
any other property securing the receivables;

 
16

 


   
to the extent specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, some of the originator’s rights relating to the receivables purchased from dealers under agreements between the originator that purchases receivables from dealers and the dealers that sold the financed vehicles;
 
   
the Issuing Entity Accounts and all amounts on deposit in the applicable Issuing Entity Accounts, including the related collection account and any other account identified in the applicable prospectus supplement, including all Permitted Investments credited thereto (but excluding any investment income from Permitted Investments which is to be paid to the servicer of the receivables or other entity identified in the applicable prospectus supplement);
 
   
rights of the issuing entity under the applicable transaction documents, including the right to require the originator to repurchase receivables which violate the assigned representations and warranties;
 
   
all present and future claims, demands, causes of action and choses in action in respect of any or all of the foregoing;
 
   
all enforcement and other rights under the UCC and other Applicable Law in respect of any or all of the foregoing;
 
   
the rights under any credit enhancement; and
 
   
all proceeds of the foregoing.
 
To the extent specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, an insurance policy, reserve account or spread account or other form of credit, liquidity or cash flow enhancement described under “The Transaction Documents – Credit, Liquidity and Cash Flow Enhancement” may be a part of the property of any issuing entity or may be held by the owner trustee (or the independent manager, as applicable) or the indenture trustee for the benefit of holders of the related securities. To the extent specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, an interest rate cap agreement or currency swap or a guaranteed investment contract may also be a part of the property of any given issuing entity.
 
If so provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, the property of an issuing entity may also include a pre-funding account, into which the depositor will deposit cash and which will be used by the issuing entity to purchase receivables directly or indirectly from originators during a specified period following the Closing Date for the related issuing entity. Any receivables so conveyed to an issuing entity will also be issuing entity property of the issuing entity.
 
Prior to formation, each issuing entity will have no assets or obligations. After formation, each issuing entity will not engage in any activity other than acquiring and holding the related receivables and the issuing entity property, issuing the related securities, distributing payments in respect thereof and any other activities described in this prospectus, in the applicable prospectus supplement and in the trust agreement, limited liability company agreement or limited partnership agreement of the issuing entity, as applicable. Each issuing entity will not acquire any receivables or assets other than the issuing entity property.
 
THE OWNER TRUSTEE OR INDEPENDENT MANAGER
 
The owner trustee for any issuing entity that is a trust or the independent manager for any issuing entity that is a limited liability company or limited partnership, as applicable, will be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. The owner trustee’s or independent manager’s liability in connection with the issuance and sale of the related securities is limited solely to the express obligations of the owner trustee or independent manager set forth in the related trust agreement or related limited liability company agreement, as applicable. The owner trustee or independent manager may resign at any time, in which event the administrator may appoint a successor owner trustee or independent manager, as applicable. The depositor or the administrator of each issuing entity may also remove the owner trustee or independent manager if:
 

 
17

 


   
the owner trustee or independent manager ceases to be eligible to continue as owner trustee under the related trust agreement or as independent manager under the related limited liability company agreement, as applicable;
 
   
a receiver or other public officer is appointed or takes charge or control of the owner trustee or its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation;
 
   
the owner trustee or independent manager becomes legally unable to act; or
 
   
the owner trustee or independent manager becomes insolvent.
 
In any of these circumstances, the administrator must appoint a successor owner trustee or independent manager. If the owner trustee or independent manager resigns or is removed, the resignation or removal and appointment of a successor owner trustee or manager will not become effective until the successor owner trustee or independent manager accepts its appointment.
 
The principal offices of each issuing entity and the related owner trustee or independent manager will be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.
 

 
THE SPONSOR
 
Huntington (the “sponsor) was organized in 1866.  Huntington is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (“HBI”), which is a multi-state diversified financial holding company organized under Maryland law in 1966 and headquartered in Columbus, Ohio.  Huntington and HBI operate in a heavily regulated environment and changes in laws and regulations affecting them and their subsidiaries may have an impact on their operations.  Huntington is a national banking association chartered under federal law.  Huntington is subject to regulation and supervision by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.  HBI is a registered financial holding company subject to regulation and supervision by the Board of Governors of the U.S. Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”).
 
Huntington, as well as other subsidiaries of HBI, provides full-service commercial, small business, consumer banking services, mortgage banking services, automobile financing, equipment leasing, investment management, trust services, brokerage services, customized insurance programs, and other financial product and services.
 
Huntington’s and HBI’s principal executive offices are located at 41 South High Street, Columbus, Ohio, and the telephone number is (614) 480-8300.
 
Huntington will be the sponsor that initiates and organizes the issuance by each issuing entity of securities.  It will be responsible for structuring each securitization transaction and will select the other transaction participants.  It will pay the costs of forming each issuing entity, the legal fees of certain of the transaction participants, the rating agency fees for rating the rated securities issued by each issuing entity and other transaction costs.  Huntington will also be responsible for servicing the motor vehicle loans transferred to each issuing entity and be the administrator of each issuing entity.
 
Huntington’s motor vehicle loans and motor vehicle retail installment sale contracts relating to new or used automobiles and light-duty trucks are, respectively, originated through, or purchased from, dealers who regularly originate those loans and retail installment sale contracts as described in the section of this prospectus entitled “Origination and Servicing Procedures; Underwriting Criteria.”  It will select the motor vehicle loans and motor vehicle retail installment sale contracts for each securitization transaction.
 

 
18

 

Huntington has participated in the structuring of the transaction described in each prospectus supplement and, to the extent described in the applicable prospectus supplement, has originated receivables to be assigned to the issuing entity.
 
Huntington, its predecessors and affiliates have been engaged in the securitization of financial assets since 2000, with one securitization prior to that in 1988.  Huntington has been involved in public offerings of auto loan backed securities since 2000, with one public offering prior to that in 1988.  Huntington, its predecessors and affiliates have been involved with the origination and securitization of different classes of financial assets in both the public and private markets, including auto loans and auto leases.  None of the asset-backed securities offered in any of these securitizations has experienced any losses or events of default, and none of Huntington or its predecessors and affiliates has taken any action out of the ordinary in any of these transactions to prevent such an occurrence.
 
THE ORIGINATOR
 
The auto loans and retail installment sale contracts owned by the issuing entities will have been originated by Huntington and any other originator identified in the prospectus supplement.  Huntington is a national banking association with its principal executive offices at 41 South High Street, Columbus, Ohio 43287, and the telephone number is (614) 480-8300. Huntington is subject to regulation and supervision by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
 
The originator’s motor vehicle loans and motor vehicle retail installment sale contracts relating to new or used automobiles and light-duty trucks are, respectively, originated through, or purchased from, dealers who regularly originate those loans and retail installment sale contracts relating to new or used automobiles and light-duty trucks directly and through dealer networks throughout the United States.
 
See “The Originator” in the applicable prospectus supplement for more information regarding Huntington’s (or any other originator’s) portfolio of auto loans.
 
THE DEPOSITOR
 
The depositor, Huntington Funding, LLC is a Delaware limited liability company that is a wholly owned special purpose subsidiary of Huntington.  The depositor was formed in the State of Delaware as a Delaware limited liability company on June 3, 2008 with the limited purpose of acquiring from the sponsor motor vehicle retail installment sale contracts and motor vehicle loans, owning, selling, and assigning the receivables to issuing entities formed by the depositor and issuing, selling one or more securities and engaging in related transactions. Since its inception, the depositor has been engaged solely in these activities.  The principal executive offices of the depositor are located at 41 South High Street, Columbus, Ohio 43287, telephone number 614-480-8300.
 
The depositor is structured in a manner intended to make it unlikely that the voluntary or involuntary application for relief by Huntington under the United States Bankruptcy Code or similar applicable state laws will result in consolidation of the assets and liabilities of the depositor with those of Huntington.  These steps include the creation of the depositor as a separate, limited-purpose subsidiary pursuant to a limited liability company agreement containing various limitations.  These limitations include restrictions on the nature of the depositor’s business and a restriction on the depositor’s ability to commence a voluntary case or proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code or similar applicable state laws without the unanimous affirmative vote of all of its directors.  At any time that any obligations of the depositor are outstanding, the depositor is required to have at least two directors who qualify under its limited liability company agreement as an “Independent Director”.
 
 The only obligations, if any, of the depositor with respect to the securities issued by any issuing entity may be pursuant to certain limited representations and warranties and limited undertakings to repurchase (or, if so specified in related prospectus supplement, substitute for) receivables under certain circumstances, but only to the extent the originator simultaneously performs its obligation to repurchase such receivables.  The depositor will have no ongoing servicing obligations or responsibilities with respect to any financed vehicle.  The depositor does not have, is not required to have, and is not expected in the future to have, any significant assets.
 

 
19

 

None of the depositor, Huntington or any of their respective affiliates will insure or guarantee the receivables or the securities issued by any issuing entity.
 
THE SERVICER
 
Huntington will be the servicer of the pool of automobile installment sales contracts and/or loans to be owned by each issuing entity pursuant to the sale and servicing agreements between Huntington, the applicable issuing entity and the depositor.  Huntington has been servicing motor vehicle receivables for auto loan securitizations since 1988.
 
The servicer, among other things, will manage, service, administer and make collections on the receivables in accordance with its customary servicing practices, using the degree of skill and attention that the servicer exercises with respect to all comparable motor vehicle receivables that it services for itself or others.
 
The servicer will be responsible for determining the allocations of collections and other funds for each issuing entity to payments on the securities issued by that issuing entity and other liabilities of that issuing entity and directing the trustees and paying agents for that issuing entity to make such payments.  The servicer will also be responsible for providing monthly reports with respect to the receivables and certain other matters.  The servicer will be the custodian of the files relating to the motor vehicle loans transferred to each issuing entity.
 
For more information regarding the servicer, see “The Servicer” in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Huntington’s Motor Vehicle Financing Program
 
Huntington purchases motor vehicle retail installment sale contracts from, and originates motor vehicle installment loan notes through, franchised motor vehicle dealers.  Such motor vehicle retail installment contracts and motor vehicle installment loan notes are referred to as contracts.  Each contract is secured by the financed vehicle that is the subject of the contract.  Dealers generally originate contracts for Huntington and/or sell contracts to Huntington pursuant to dealer agreements between such dealers and Huntington.
 
Huntington enters into dealer agreements with dealers that are franchised to sell new motor vehicles and also with certain dealers that sell used motor vehicles, in each case based upon a financial review of the dealer and the dealer’s reputation in the market.  In addition to financing contracts from dealers, Huntington also extends loans and lines of credit to certain dealers for, among other things, inventory financing and other commercial purposes.  Huntington only extends loans or lines of credit to such dealers based upon a financial review, and such dealers are evaluated through periodic financial reviews and formalized credit review procedures.
 
Underwriting
 
Each application related to a contract is obtained from an applicant by a dealer, forwarded by the dealer to Huntington, and underwritten by Huntington in accordance with Huntington’s established underwriting policies described below.  These underwriting policies are intended to assess the applicant’s ability and willingness to repay the amounts due on the contract and to establish the adequacy of the financed vehicle as collateral.
 
The application form provides various items of general demographic information, financial information and employment history.  In addition, specific information with respect to the motor vehicle to be financed is required to be provided to Huntington as part of the application process.  Huntington utilizes an automated decision scorecard for each application submitted.  The results of the scorecard fall into five categories:  Automated-Approval, Automated-Decline, Recommend Approve, Recommend Decline or Investigate.  The decision scorecard is based on the content of the applicable credit bureau report, applicant stated information and vehicle characteristics.  The decision scorecards take into account many characteristics which include term, loan-to-value and debt-to-income. Huntington’s underwriters use their judgment in evaluating Recommend and Investigate applications, and the underwriters may verify application information and consider additional credit bureau reports or other factors in making the final judgmental underwriting decision.  With respect to those applications that are approved, the amount and terms of the financing to be offered are determined based on the overall score parameters.  Guidelines are given on the rate sheet for an advance of up to 115% of asset value (plus dealer additions) on the applications with higher FICO scores.  The amount that Huntington will advance against a motor vehicle is capped at 130% of the asset value plus dealer additions subject to overall scores.  Term guidelines are also given on the rate sheet based on the age of the motor vehicle.  Acceptable terms generally range from 24 to 75 months in length.
 
Huntington’s underwriting policies are intended to provide a consistent basis for lending decisions, but do not completely supersede all judgmental aspects of the credit granting process.  Accordingly, certain contracts may not comply with all of these policies.  Exceptions to Huntington’s underwriting policies are made at the discretion of the credit underwriters with appropriate approval authority.  Higher levels of authority are required for certain exceptions to established policies.  Where a credit underwriter decides to approve an application that is systematically rejected or the scorecard results recommend rejection, a credit underwriting exception is noted.  Huntington’s percentage of exceptions varies but generally is less than 2% of approvals.
 

 
21

 

Huntington is committed to underwriting consistency and improved performance through the use of technology and improved management oversight within the underwriting group.  The development of the automated decision capabilities is tangible evidence of this commitment.  Since 2000 Huntington has focused its origination efforts on higher quality loans resulting in an average FICO score which has increased to the low 760’s, and the percentage of originations with FICO scores less than 640 remains consistently under 2%.  Huntington also uses tiered pricing based on loan-to-value ratios, term, model year, scorecard as well as FICO scores, creating appropriate loan-to-value ratios for the targeted customer segment.
 
Dealer Agreements
 
Each dealer that originates contracts for Huntington has made representations and warranties with respect to the contracts and the security interests in the related motor vehicles, either in a separate dealer agreement or as part of an assignment of a contract from the dealer to Huntington.  These representations and warranties do not relate to the creditworthiness of the obligors or the collectability of the contracts.  Upon breach of any representation or warranty made by a dealer with respect to a contract, Huntington has a right of recourse against such dealer to require it to purchase such contract.  Huntington will assign to the issuing entity for your series any amounts paid by a dealer in satisfaction of such repurchase obligation constituting liquidation proceeds with respect to a contract relating to receivables backing your securities.  Generally, the dealer agreements and assignments do not provide for recourse against the dealer in the event of a default by the obligor.
 
Physical Damage and Liability Insurance
 
Each contract requires the obligor to keep the financed vehicle fully insured against loss or damage in an amount sufficient to pay the lesser of either the full insurable interest in the motor vehicle or the entire unpaid balance of the principal amount and any unpaid interest and other charges.  The dealer agreements include a requirement that the dealers verify that such required insurance coverage is in effect at the time the related contract is originated and financed by Huntington.  As and to the extent set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement for a series of securities, some contracts may also provide debt cancellation protection from Huntington if such protection is voluntarily purchased by the obligor, and pursuant to which the obligor is absolved of specified obligations to pay all or some portion of the balance or payments owed on the contract after theft or destruction of the related financed vehicle or after death or unemployment of the obligor or such other conditions as Huntington may establish from time to time.  Under the debt cancellation provisions of those contracts, Huntington agrees to cancel all or some portion of the balance or payments owed depending on the related contingency.  This protection related to theft or destruction of the vehicle is referred to as Huntington GAP (“Huntington GAP”) and this protection related to death or unemployment of the obligor is referred to as Huntington Credit GuardSM (“Huntington Credit Guard”).  Motor vehicle dealers may also offer credit insurance or GAP coverage from their own sources, and the cost of such coverage is included in the contract.
 
Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that any financed vehicle will continue to be covered by physical damage insurance provided by the obligor during the entire term during which the related contract is outstanding. Huntington provides Vendor Single Interest coverage for property on contracts originated in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and West Virginia.  Huntington actively tracks insurance coverage in all other states and will force place insurance on specific loans when coverage does not exist or is below stated limits.
 
Extension Policy
 
Huntington has a program referred to as Pass-A-Payment (“PAP”) under which extensions may be granted to certain obligors who are making timely payments.  Under PAP, the coupon book sent to obligors contains PAP request coupons that may be submitted from time to time that allows the obligor to defer making that month’s payment until the end of the term of the loan.  PAP does not provide for forgiveness of a loan that has been extended.  Participation in the program is subject to the following eligibility rules:
 
   
the first PAP request coupon may only be submitted by an obligor after he or she has made twelve consecutive, timely and full loan payments;

 
22

 


   
additional PAP request coupons become available after each additional twelve consecutive, timely and full loan payments, but not more than four PAP request coupons can be used during the term of the contract;
 
   
to be valid, a PAP request coupon must be received by Huntington on or before the due date of the scheduled payment to be passed and the obligor cannot be 30 days or more past due under the related contract; and
 
   
all PAP request coupons are subject to Huntington’s acceptance and approval and no PAP request coupon will be accepted if it is not submitted in compliance with the above rules.
 
From time to time as deemed necessary by Huntington’s collection staff, one-month payment extensions are granted to address short-term delinquency issues.  Huntington’s policy is to limit these types of extensions to specifically identified causes of delinquency that can be appropriately managed by such an extension, and not to grant such delinquency extensions more than three times over the life of any contract.
 
Prepayment Fees
 
Certain of the contracts provide for prepayment fees of up to $125 or 1.25% of the outstanding principal balance in the event of full prepayments.  There are no prepayment fees imposed in the event of partial prepayments.
 
Safekeeping and Preservation of the Receivables Contracts
 
Huntington maintains all collateral files in a central location in Columbus, Ohio.  The location is secured with appropriate protection for the files.  In addition, all files are imaged on Huntington’s Imaging System for back-up purposes and in the event of a missing document.
 
THE RECEIVABLES
 
The Receivables
 
The receivables consist of motor vehicle retail installment sales contracts and/or installment loans. These receivables are secured by a combination of new and/or used automobiles, light-duty trucks or other types of motor vehicles. The receivables to be transferred to any issuing entity have been or will be purchased or originated by the originator. See “Origination and Servicing Procedures; Underwriting Criteria” in this prospectus.
 
The Receivables Pools
 
The receivables to be purchased by each issuing entity, also known as the “receivables pool,” will be selected by the depositor based upon the satisfaction of several criteria, including, among other criteria, that each receivable:
 
   
was originated out of the sale of or is secured by a new vehicle or a used vehicle;
 
   
requires substantially equal monthly payments to be made by the related obligor;
 
   
has an obligor which is not a government or governmental subdivision or agency and is not shown on the servicer’s records as a debtor in a pending bankruptcy proceeding as of the related cut-off date; and
 
   
is not more than 29 days delinquent on the related cut-off date.
 
Each of the receivables will be selected using selection procedures that were not known by the originator to be adverse to the related issuing entity.
 

 
23

 

The depositor will sell or transfer receivables having an aggregate outstanding principal balance specified in the applicable prospectus supplement as of the applicable cut-off date to the applicable issuing entity. The purchase price paid by each issuing entity for each receivable included in the issuing entity property of the issuing entity will reflect the outstanding principal balance of the receivable as of the cut-off date (in accordance with the terms of the contract as described further under “-Calculation Methods”).
 
Additional information with respect to the receivables pool securing each series of securities will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement including, to the extent appropriate, the composition of the receivables, the distribution by contract rate or annual percentage rate, the geographic distribution of the receivables by state and the portion of the receivables pool secured by new vehicles and by used vehicles.
 
Calculation Methods
 
Each of the receivables included in the issuing entity property of an issuing entity will be a contract or loan where the allocation of each payment between interest and principal is calculated using either the Simple Interest Method or the Scheduled Interest Method.
 
PRE-FUNDING ARRANGEMENT
 
To the extent provided in the applicable prospectus supplement for a series of securities, the related sale and servicing agreement or indenture may provide for a pre-funding arrangement which will be limited to a period not to exceed twelve months. Under the pre-funding arrangement, the related issuing entity commits to purchase additional receivables from the depositor following the date on which the issuing entity is established and the related securities are issued. With respect to a series of securities, the pre-funding arrangement will require that any subsequent receivables transferred to the issuing entity conform to the requirements and conditions in the related sale and servicing agreement, including all of the same eligibility criteria as the initial receivables. If a pre-funding arrangement is used in connection with the issuance of a series of securities, the servicer or the issuing entity will establish an account, known as the pre-funding account, in the name of the indenture trustee for the benefit of the securityholders. Up to 50% of the proceeds received from the sale of the securities will be deposited into the pre-funding account on the related Closing Date and thereafter funds will be released on one or more occasions during a specified period to purchase subsequent receivables from the depositor. Upon each conveyance of subsequent receivables to the applicable issuing entity, an amount equal to the purchase price paid by the depositor to the applicable originator for the subsequent receivables will be released from the pre-funding account and paid to the depositor. If funds remain in the pre-funding account at the end of the funding period, those funds will be applied to prepay the securities in the manner set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Amounts on deposit in the pre-funding account may be invested in Permitted Investments.  Information regarding the subsequent receivables will be included, if required, under Item 1 in one or more reports, filed by the issuing entity on Form 10-D with the SEC pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
 
The use of a pre-funding arrangement for a series of securities is intended to improve the efficiency of the issuance of the securities and the sale of the receivables to the related issuing entity through the incremental delivery of the applicable receivables on the Closing Date for a series of securities and during a specified period following that Closing Date. Pre-funding arrangements allow for a more even accumulation of the receivables by the depositor and the originator and the issuance of a larger principal amount of securities than would be the case without a pre-funding arrangement.
 
You should be aware that subsequent receivables may be originated using credit criteria different from the criteria applied to the initial receivables disclosed in the applicable prospectus supplement and may be of a different credit quality and seasoning than the initial receivables. The credit quality of the subsequent receivables may vary as a result of increases or decreases in the credit quality of the related obligors within the predefined acceptable range, which variations could impact the performance of the overall pool of receivables. The portfolio of initial receivables may also be subject to greater seasoning than the subsequent receivables due to the length of time elapsed from the dates of origination of those receivables and the sale of those receivables to the related issuing entity. Accordingly, less historical performance information may be available with respect to the subsequent receivables. Moreover, following the transfer of subsequent receivables to the applicable issuing entity, the characteristics of the entire pool
 

 
24

 

of receivables included in the issuing entity property may vary from those of the receivables initially transferred to the issuing entity.
 
Notwithstanding such variations, the applicable prospectus shall disclose the review conducted to provide a reasonable assurance that the disclosure regarding such pool assets is accurate in all material respects.
 
MATURITY, PREPAYMENT AND YIELD CONSIDERATIONS
 
The weighted average life of securities of any series will generally be influenced by the rate at which the outstanding principal balances of the receivables are paid, which payments may be in the form of scheduled payments or prepayments. Each receivable is prepayable in full by the obligor at any time. Full and partial prepayments on motor vehicle receivables included in the issuing entity property of an issuing entity will be paid or distributed to the related securityholders on the next payment date following the collection period in which they are received. To the extent that any receivable included in the issuing entity property of an issuing entity is prepaid in full, whether by the obligor, or as the result of a purchase by the servicer or a repurchase by an originator or otherwise, the actual weighted average life of the receivables included in the issuing entity property of the issuing entity will be shorter than a weighted average life calculation based on the assumptions that payments will be made on schedule and that no prepayments will be made. Weighted average life means the average amount of time until the entire principal amount of a receivable is repaid. Full prepayments may also result from liquidations due to default, receipt of proceeds from theft, physical damage, credit life or credit disability insurance policies, repurchases by the depositor as a result of the failure of a receivable to meet the criteria set forth in the related transaction documents or as a result of a breach of covenants with respect to the receivables or purchases made by the servicer as a result of a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant made by it related to its servicing duties in the related transaction documents. In addition, early retirement of the securities may be effected at the option of the servicer or the depositor, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement, to purchase the remaining receivables included in the issuing entity property of the issuing entity when either the outstanding balance of the related securities or of the related receivables (as specified in the applicable prospectus supplement) has declined to or below the percentage specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. See “The Transaction Documents - Optional Redemption” in the related prospectus supplement.
 
The rate of full prepayments by obligors on the receivables may be influenced by a variety of economic, social and other factors. These factors include the unemployment rate, servicing decisions, seasoning of loans, destruction of vehicles by accident, loss of vehicles due to theft, sales of vehicles, market interest rates, the availability of alternative financing and restrictions on the obligor’s ability to sell or transfer the financed vehicle securing a receivable without the consent of the servicer. Any full prepayments or partial prepayments applied immediately will reduce the average life of the receivables.
 
The originator can make no prediction as to the actual prepayment rates that will be experienced on the receivables included in the issuing entity property of any issuing entity in either stable or changing interest rate environments. Securityholders of each series will bear all reinvestment risk resulting from the rate of prepayment of the receivables included in the issuing entity property of the related issuing entity.
 
POOL FACTORS, NOTE FACTORS AND POOL INFORMATION
 
For each transaction, each month the servicer will compute either a Pool Factor or a Note Factor or both a Pool Factor and a Note Factor.
 
For transactions in which the servicer will compute a Pool Factor, the Pool Factor will be a six-digit decimal equal to (1) the sum of the Net Pool Balance and any subsequent receivables added to the issuing entity property as of the end of the preceding collection period divided by (2) the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the receivables as of the cut-off date. The Pool Factor will be 1.000000 as of the cut-off date; thereafter, the Pool Factor will decline to reflect reductions in the Net Pool Balance. The amount of a securityholder’s pro rata share of the Net Pool Balance for a given month can be determined by multiplying the original denomination of the holder’s security by the Pool Factor for that month.
 

 
25

 

For transactions in which the servicer will compute a Note Factor, the Note Factor will be a six-digit decimal indicating the outstanding balance of the notes or a class of notes, as applicable, at the end of the month as a fraction of the original balance of the notes or a class of notes, as applicable, as of the Closing Date. The Note Factor will be 1.000000 as of the Closing Date; thereafter, the Note Factor will decline to reflect reductions in the outstanding balance of the notes or a class of notes, as applicable. As a noteholder, your share of the principal balance of a particular class of notes is the product of (1) the original denomination of your note and (2) the applicable class Note Factor.
 
With respect to each issuing entity, the noteholders and certificateholders of record will receive monthly reports from the trustee or indenture trustee, as applicable, concerning payments received on the receivables, the Net Pool Balance and/or the note balance, the Pool Factor and/or the Note Factor, and other relevant information. If the securities are issued in book-entry form, then DTC (or its successors) will supply these reports to securityholders in accordance with its procedures. Since owners of beneficial interests in a global security of a given series will not be recognized as noteholders and certificateholders of that series, DTC will not forward monthly reports to those owners. Copies of monthly reports may be obtained by owners of beneficial interests in a global security by a request in writing addressed to the owner trustee, the independent manager or indenture trustee, as applicable. Noteholders and certificateholders of record during any calendar year will be furnished information for tax reporting purposes not later than the latest date permitted by applicable law. See “The Securities — Statements to Securityholders” in this prospectus.
 
USE OF PROCEEDS
 
Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement., the net proceeds from the sale of securities of a given series will be applied by the depositor (1) to purchase the receivables from the originator pursuant to the related transaction documents, (2) to deposit any amounts, if applicable, to a pre-funding account, a reserve account or to fund any other collateral account, and (3) to pay other expenses in connection with the issuance of the securities. Any remaining amounts will be added to the depositor’s general funds and may be dividended to Huntington, as the sole equity holder of the depositor.
 
THE SECURITIES
 
A series of securities may include one or more classes of notes and certificates. Each issuing entity will issue the notes and the certificates for a particular series to the holders of record of the notes and the holders of record of the certificates, respectively. The following summary, together with the summaries contained under “The Notes” and/or “The Certificates” (as applicable) in the applicable prospectus supplement, describe all of the material terms of the offered securities. However, this summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the securities and the other transaction documents and the applicable prospectus supplement.
 
The Notes
 
With respect to each issuing entity that issues notes, one or more classes of notes of the related series will be issued pursuant to the terms of an indenture, a form of which has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The applicable prospectus supplement will specify which class or classes of notes, if any, of a series are being offered pursuant to the applicable prospectus supplement.
 
Unless the applicable prospectus supplement specifies that the notes are offered in definitive form, the notes will be available for purchase in the denominations specified in the applicable prospectus supplement and in book-entry form only. Securityholders will be able to receive notes in definitive registered form only in the limited circumstances described in this prospectus or in the applicable prospectus supplement. See “Definitive Securities” in this prospectus.
 
The timing and priority of payment, seniority, allocations of losses, interest rate (or discount) and amount of or method of determining payments of principal of and interest on each class of notes of a given series will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. The rights of holders of any class of notes to receive payments of
 

 
26

 

principal and interest may be senior or subordinate to the rights of holders of any other class or classes of notes of that series, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Payments of interest on the notes of a series will be made prior to payments of principal thereon. To the extent provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, a series may include one or more classes of Strip Notes entitled to:
 
   
principal payments with disproportionate, nominal or no interest payments; or
 
   
interest payments with disproportionate, nominal or no principal payments.
 
Each class of notes may have a different interest rate, which may be a fixed, variable or adjustable interest rate, and which may be zero for certain classes of Strip Notes, or any combination of the foregoing. The applicable prospectus supplement will specify the interest rate for each class of notes of a given series or the method for determining the interest rate. One or more classes of notes of a series may be redeemable in whole or in part under the circumstances specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, including at the end of a pre-funding period or as a result of the depositor’s, servicer’s or another entity’s exercising of its option to purchase the receivables.
 
To the extent specified in any applicable prospectus supplement, one or more classes of notes of a given series may have fixed principal payment schedules. Noteholders of these notes would be entitled to receive as payments of principal on any given payment date the applicable amounts set forth on the schedule with respect to their notes, in the manner and to the extent set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.
 
If so specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, payments of interest to all noteholders of a particular class or to one or more other classes will have the same priority. Under some circumstances, the amount available for those payments could be less than the amount of interest payable on the notes on any payment date, in which case each noteholder of a particular class will receive its ratable share, based upon the aggregate amount of interest payable to that class of noteholders, of the aggregate amounts available to be distributed on the notes of that series.
 
With respect to a series that includes two or more classes of notes, each class may differ as to the timing and priority of payments, seniority, allocations of losses, final maturity date, interest rate or amount of payments of principal or interest, or payments of principal or interest in respect of any class or classes may or may not be made upon the occurrence of specified events relating to the performance of the receivables, including loss, delinquency and prepayment experience, the related subordination and/or the lapse of time or on the basis of collections from designated portions of the related pool of receivables. If an issuing entity issues two or more classes of notes, the sequential order and priority of payment in respect of principal and interest, and any schedule or formula or other provisions applicable to the determination of interest and principal payments of each class of notes, will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Generally, the related rating agencies, the credit enhancement provider, if any, and the prevailing market conditions at the time of issuance of the notes of a series dictate the applicable specified terms with respect to that series. Payments in respect of principal and interest of any class of notes will be made on a pro rata basis among all the noteholders of that class.
 
The Certificates
 
If the issuing entity is a trust, the series may include one or more classes of certificates. The certificates will be issued by the issuing entity pursuant to the terms of a trust agreement, a form of which has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The applicable prospectus supplement will specify which class or classes of certificates, if any, of a series are being offered pursuant to the applicable prospectus supplement.
 
Unless the applicable prospectus supplement specifies that certificates are offered in definitive form, the certificates will be available in the denominations specified in the applicable prospectus supplement and in book-entry form only, other than the certificates sold to the depositor, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
 

 
27

 

The timing and priority of distributions, seniority, allocations of losses, interest rate (or discount) and amount of or method of determining distributions with respect to principal and interest on each class of certificates will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Distributions of interest on certificates will be made on the dates specified in the applicable prospectus supplement and will be made prior to distributions with respect to principal of such certificates. To the extent provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, a series may include one or more classes of Strip Certificates entitled to:
 
   
distributions of principal with disproportionate, nominal or no interest distributions; or
 
   
interest distributions with disproportionate, nominal or no distributions of principal.
 
Each class of certificates may have a different interest rate, which may be a fixed, variable or adjustable interest rate, and which may be zero for certain classes of Strip Certificates, or any combination of the foregoing. The applicable prospectus supplement will specify the interest rate for each class of certificates of a given series or the method for determining such interest rate. Distributions on the certificates of a given series that includes notes may be subordinate to payments on the notes of that series as more fully described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Distributions of interest on and principal of any class of certificates will be made on a pro rata basis among all the certificateholders of that class.
 
If the depositor, the servicer or another entity exercises its option to purchase the receivables of an issuing entity in the manner and on the respective terms and conditions described in the applicable prospectus supplement, the outstanding certificates may be redeemed as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.
 
With respect to a series that includes two or more classes of certificates, each class may differ as to timing and priority of distributions, seniority, allocations of losses, interest rate or amount of distributions of principal or interest, or distributions of principal or interest of any class or classes may or may not be made upon the occurrence of specified events relating to the performance of the receivables, including loss, delinquency and prepayment experience, the related subordination and/or the lapse of time or on the basis of collections from designated portions of the related pool of receivables. If an issuing entity issues two or more classes of certificates, the sequential order and priority of payment in respect of principal and interest, and any schedule or formula or other provisions applicable to the determination of interest and principal payments of each class of certificates will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Generally the related rating agencies, the credit enhancement provider, if any, and the prevailing market conditions at the time of issuance of the certificates of a series dictate the applicable specified events with respect to that series.
 
Revolving Period and Amortization Period
 
If the applicable prospectus supplement so provides, there may be a period commencing on the date of issuance of a class or classes of securities of a series and ending on the date set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement during which no principal payments will be made to one or more classes of securities of the related series as are identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (the “revolving period”). The revolving period may not be longer than three years from the date of issuance of a class of securities of a series. During the revolving period, all collections of principal otherwise allocated to the securities may be:
 
   
used by the issuing entity during the revolving period to acquire additional receivables which satisfy the criteria described under “The Receivables — The Receivables Pools” in this prospectus and the criteria set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement;
 
   
held in an account and invested in Permitted Investments for later distribution to securityholders; or
 
   
applied to those securities of the related series as then are in amortization, if any.
 
The material features and aspects of the revolving period, including the mechanics of the revolving period, underwriting criteria for assets acquired during the revolving period, a description of the party with authority to add,
 

 
28

 

remove or substitute assets during the revolving period and the procedures for temporary re-investment of funds will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
 
An “amortization period” is the period during which an amount of principal is payable to holders of a series of securities which, during the revolving period, were not entitled to those payments. If so specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, during an amortization period all or a portion of principal collections on the receivables may be applied as specified above for a revolving period and, to the extent not so applied, will be distributed to the classes of notes or certificates. In addition, the applicable prospectus supplement will set forth the circumstances which will result in the commencement of an amortization period.
 
Each issuing entity which has a revolving period may also issue to the depositor a certificate evidencing a retained interest in the issuing entity not represented by the other securities issued by that issuing entity. As further described in the applicable prospectus supplement, the value of that retained interest will fluctuate as the amount of issuing entity property fluctuates and the amount of notes and certificates of the related series of securities outstanding is reduced.
 
Series of Securities
 
Each issuing entity will issue only one series of securities; however, each series may contain one or more classes of notes and/or certificates. The terms of each class of securities will be fully disclosed in the applicable prospectus supplement for each series.
 
Book-Entry Registration
 
Each class of securities offered by the applicable prospectus supplement will be available only in book-entry form except in the limited circumstances described under “ — Definitive Securities” in this prospectus. All securities will be held in book-entry form by DTC, in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. Investors’ interests in the securities will be represented through financial institutions acting on their behalf as direct and indirect participants in DTC. Investors may hold their securities through DTC, Clearstream Banking Luxembourg S.A. (“Clearstream”), or Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (“Euroclear”), which will hold positions on behalf of their customers or participants through their respective depositories, which in turn will hold such positions in accounts as DTC participants. The securities will be traded as home market instruments in both the U.S. domestic and European markets. Initial settlement and all secondary trades will settle in same-day funds.  The DTC rules applicable to its participants are on file with the SEC.  More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com.
 
Investors electing to hold their securities through DTC will follow the settlement practices applicable to U.S. corporate debt obligations. Investors electing to hold global securities through Clearstream or Euroclear accounts will follow the settlement procedures applicable to conventional eurobounds, except that there will be no temporary global securities and no “lock-up” or restricted period.
 
Actions of noteholders under the indenture will be taken by DTC upon instructions from its participants and all payments, notices, reports and statements to be delivered to noteholders will be delivered to DTC or its nominee as the registered holder of the book-entry securities for distribution to holders of book-entry securities in accordance with DTC’s procedures.
 
Investors should review the procedures of DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear for clearing, settlement and withholding tax procedures applicable to their purchase of the securities.
 
Definitive Securities
 
The securities of a given series will be issued in fully registered, certificated form to owners of beneficial interests in a global security or their nominees rather than to DTC or its nominee, only if:
 
   
the depositor, indenture trustee or the administrator, as applicable, advises the indenture trustee in writing that DTC is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as depository

 
29

 


   
with respect to the securities, and the indenture trustee, the depositor or the administrator, as applicable, are unable to locate a qualified successor; or
 
   
after an event of default, beneficial owners representing in the aggregate a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the controlling class or of all the securities (as specified in the applicable prospectus supplement), advise the indenture trustee through DTC in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through DTC (or its successor) is no longer in the best interest of those owners.
 
Upon the occurrence of any event described in the immediately preceding paragraph, DTC is normally required to notify all applicable noteholders of a given class through participants in the availability of Definitive Securities.  Upon surrender by DTC of the Definitive Securities representing the corresponding securities and receipt of instructions for re-registration, the indenture trustee will reissue the securities as Definitive Securities to the securityholders.
 
Payments or distributions of principal of, and interest on, the securities will be made by a paying agent directly to holders of securities in definitive registered form in accordance with the procedures set forth in this prospectus, the applicable prospectus supplement and in the related indenture or the related trust agreement. Payments or distributions on each payment date and on the final scheduled payment date, as specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, will be made to holders in whose names the definitive securities were registered on the Record Date. Payments or distributions will be made by check mailed to the address of each securityholder as it appears on the register maintained by the indenture trustee or by other means to the extent provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. The final payment or distribution on any security, whether securities in definitive registered form or securities registered in the name of Cede & Co., however, will be made only upon presentation and surrender of the security at the office or agency specified in the notice of final payment or distribution to securityholders.
 
Securities in definitive registered form will be transferable and exchangeable at the offices of the owner trustee or indenture trustee, or at the offices of a transfer agent or registrar named in a notice delivered to holders of securities in definitive registered form. No service charge will be imposed for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the owner trustee, indenture trustee, transfer agent or registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.
 
Access to Securityholder Lists
 
If definitive securities are issued in the limited circumstances set forth above, or if the indenture trustee is not the registrar for the securities, the issuing entity will furnish or cause to be furnished to the indenture trustee a list of the names and addresses of the securityholders:
 
   
not more than three (3) days after the earlier of (i) each Record Date and (ii) three months after the last Record Date; and
 
   
within 30 days after receipt by the issuing entity of a written request from the owner trustee, the independent manager or the indenture trustee, as applicable for that list, as of not more than ten days before that list is furnished.
 
Neither the trust agreement nor any applicable indenture will provide for the holding of annual or other meetings of securityholders.
 
Statements to Securityholders
 
With respect to each series of securities, on each payment date the owner trustee, the independent manager or the indenture trustee, as applicable, will include with each payment or distribution to each securityholder a statement (prepared by the servicer) setting forth for that payment date and the related collection period, the following information (and any additional information so specified in the applicable prospectus supplement) to the extent applicable to that series of securities:
 

 
30

 


   
the amount of the distribution on or with respect to each class of the securities allocable to principal;
 
   
the amount of the distribution on or with respect to each class of the securities allocable to interest;
 
   
the aggregate distribution amount for that payment date;
 
   
the payments to any enhancement provider with respect to any credit, liquidity or cash flow enhancement on that payment date;
 
   
the number of, and aggregate amount of monthly principal and interest payments due on, the related receivables which are delinquent as of the end of the related collection period;
 
   
the aggregate servicing fee paid to the servicer with respect to that collection period and the amount of any unpaid servicing fees;
 
   
the amount of collections on the receivables for that collection period;
 
   
the amount of funds available for payment of the aggregate amount payable or distributable on the securities, the amount of any principal or interest shortfall with respect to each class of securities and the amount required from any applicable enhancement provider to pay any shortfall;
 
   
the aggregate amount of proceeds received by the servicer, net of reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses, in respect of a receivable which is a defaulted receivable;
 
   
the number and net outstanding balance of receivables for which the related financed vehicle has been repossessed;
 
   
the Pool Factor and/or the Note Factor;
 
   
the Net Pool Balance; and
 
   
the amount remaining of any credit, liquidity or cash flow enhancement.
 
Unless definitive securities are issued, DTC will supply these reports to securityholders in accordance with its procedures. Since owners of beneficial interest in a global security of a given series will not be recognized as securityholders of that series, DTC will not forward monthly reports to those owners. Copies of monthly reports may be obtained by owners of beneficial interests in a global security by a request in writing addressed to the owner trustee or indenture trustee, as applicable.
 
Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year during the term of each issuing entity, but not later than the latest date permitted by applicable law, the owner trustee, the independent manager the indenture trustee or the paying agent will furnish information required to complete federal income tax returns to each person who on any Record Date during the calendar year was a registered securityholder. See “Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences” in this prospectus.
 
Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer
 
To the extent described in the applicable prospectus supplement, there may be restrictions on ownership or transfer of any securities of a series. Further, the securities of any series are complex investments. Only investors who, either alone or with their financial, tax and legal advisors, have the expertise to analyze the prepayment, reinvestment and default risks, the tax consequences of the investment and the interaction of these factors should consider purchasing any series of securities. See “Risk Factors — The securities may not be a suitable investment for you”. In addition, because the securities of a series will not be listed on any securities exchange, you could be limited in your ability to resell them. See “Risk Factors —The absence of a secondary market for the securities could limit your ability to resell your securities”.

THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS
 
The following summary describes the material terms of:
 
   
each “asset purchase agreement” or “asset transfer agreement” pursuant to which the originator will sell receivables (collectively, the “transfer agreements”);
 
   
each “contribution agreement” and “servicing agreement” or each “sale and servicing agreement,” pursuant to which an issuing entity will purchase receivables from the depositor and which the servicer will agree to service those receivables (collectively, the “sale and servicing agreements”); and
 
   
each “administration agreement,” if any, pursuant to which the originator or another party specified in the applicable prospectus supplement will undertake specified administrative duties with respect to an issuing entity.
 
Forms of the transaction documents have been filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. This summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of each applicable transfer agreement, sale and servicing agreement and administration agreement and the applicable prospectus supplement.
 
Transfer and Assignment of the Receivables
 
Transfer and Assignment by the Originator.  Prior to the issuance of a series of securities by the issuing entity, pursuant to the relevant transfer agreement, the originator specified in the applicable prospectus supplement will sell and assign to the depositor, without recourse, its entire interest in the receivables of the related receivables pool, including its security interest in the related financed vehicles, and proceeds thereof. Prior to such sale and assignment, the originator may have acquired all or a portion of the transferred receivables from another originator.
 
Contribution and Assignment by the Depositor.  Prior to the issuance of a series of securities by the issuing entity, the depositor will sell, contribute and/or assign to that issuing entity, without recourse, pursuant to the relevant sale and servicing agreement, the depositor’s entire interest in the receivables of the related receivables pool, including its security interest in the related financed vehicles. Each receivable will be identified in a schedule appearing as an exhibit to the sale and servicing agreement or the related transfer agreements or delivered to the purchaser of the receivables. Neither the owner trustee (or the independent manager, as applicable) nor the indenture trustee will independently verify the existence and qualification of any receivables. The owner trustee (or the independent manager, as applicable) or indenture trustee in respect of the issuing entity will, concurrently with the sale, contribution and/or assignment of the receivables to the issuing entity, execute, authenticate and deliver the certificates and/or notes representing the related securities.
 
Representations and Warranties; Repurchase Obligation
 
Representations and Warranties of the Originator.  Pursuant to each transfer agreement, the originator will represent that each receivable sold and assigned under that transfer agreement will satisfy the criteria set forth above under “The Receivables — The Receivables Pools.
 
If any party to a transfer agreement discovers a breach of any of the representations and warranties with respect to any of the criteria required by that transfer at the time such representations and warranties were made, the party discovering that breach will give prompt written notice of that breach to the other parties to the transfer agreement. If the originator does not correct or cure that breach within 30 days of the earlier of its discovery or receipt of notice of such breach then the originator will use its best efforts to promptly cure the breach, and if the breach is not cured, the originator will purchase any receivable affected by such breach from the issuing entity at a repurchase price equal to the outstanding principal balance of that receivable plus accrued and unpaid interest (less any advances made by the servicer that have not been reimbursed), which will be paid on the payment date immediately following the end of the collection period during which the 30-day cure period ended.   The repurchase obligation will constitute the sole remedy available to the securityholders or the owner trustee (or the independent
 

 
32

 

manager, as applicable) or the indenture trustee, as applicable, for the failure of a receivable to meet any of the eligibility criteria set forth in the relevant transfer agreement.
 
The Collection Account and Permitted Investments
 
With respect to each issuing entity, the servicer, owner trustee (or the independent manager, as applicable) or the indenture trustee will establish and maintain one or more accounts, known collectively as the collection account, in the name of the related owner trustee (or the independent manager, as applicable) or indenture trustee on behalf of the related securityholders and any other secured party described in the applicable prospectus supplement, into which, among other things, payments received on or in respect of the receivables and amounts released from any reserve or spread account will be deposited for payment to the related securityholders as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Funds in the collection account will be invested in Permitted Investments by the indenture trustee, acting at the direction of the servicer. Permitted Investments are limited to investments acceptable to each rating agency rating the applicable securities and which are consistent with the rating of those securities. Permitted Investments made with respect to the collection account will generally mature no later than the next following payment date and income from amounts on deposit in the collection account which are invested in Permitted Investments will be applied as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.
 
Other Accounts
 
The collection account and any other Issuing Entity Accounts to be established with respect to an issuing entity will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. For any series of securities, funds in any related reserve account or any other Issuing Entity Accounts as may be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement will be invested in Permitted Investments as provided in the related sale and servicing agreement, trust agreement or indenture.
 
Payments on Receivables
 
Each sale and servicing agreement will require the servicer to make deposits of an amount equal to all collections received on or in respect of the receivables during any collection period (net of any amounts which otherwise would be paid to the servicer or its affiliates) into the collection account within the timeframe specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. 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.
 
Payments and Distributions on the Securities
 
With respect to each series of securities, beginning on the payment date specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, payments and distributions of principal of and interest on, or, where applicable, of principal or interest only, each class of securities entitled thereto will be made by the indenture trustee or the owner trustee (or the independent manager, as applicable) to the noteholders and the certificateholders of that series, as specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. The timing, calculation, allocation, order, source, priorities of and requirements for all payments and distributions to each class of securities of the series will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.
 
With respect to each issuing entity, on each payment date, collections on the related receivables will be withdrawn from the related collection account and will be paid and distributed to the related securityholders and certain other parties (such as the servicer) as provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. Credit enhancement may be available to cover any shortfalls in the amount available for payment or distribution to the securityholders on that payment date. If specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, payments or distributions in respect of one or more classes of securities of the applicable series may be subordinate to payments or distributions in respect of one or more other classes of securities of that series.
 

 
33

 

Credit, Liquidity and Cash Flow Enhancement
 
The amounts and types of credit, liquidity and cash flow enhancement arrangements, if any, and the provider thereof, if applicable, with respect to each class of securities of a given series will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.
 
Credit, liquidity and cash flow enhancements are intended to enhance the likelihood of receipt by the securityholders of the full amount of interest and principal due on their securities.
 
Credit, liquidity and cash flow enhancements may not provide protection against all risks of loss and do not guarantee payment of interest and repayment of the entire principal amount of your securities. If losses on receivables exceed the credit enhancement available, securityholders will bear their allocable share of the loss. The amount and the type of credit and payment enhancements for each class of securities will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement, but will be limited to the types of credit and cash flow arrangements specified in this prospectus.
 
Applicable credit enhancements may include one or more of the following, as specified in the applicable prospectus supplement:
 
   
A reserve account or cash deposit available to cover trustee fees and expenses, servicing fees, reimbursement of servicer advances, payments to interest rate or currency hedge providers, interest payments on the securities, priority principal payments and final principal payments if collections on the receivables were insufficient. Any amounts remaining on deposit after payment of all fees and expenses owing by the issuing entity and amounts owing on the securities would be returned to the depositor or other provider of the cash or deposit.
 
   
Excess interest available to cover trustee fees and expenses, servicing fees, reimbursement of servicer advances, payments to interest rate or currency hedge providers, interest payments on the securities, and principal payments on the securities. The amount of excess spread will depend on factors such as contract rates, interest rates on the securities, prepayments, yield supplement overcollateralization amounts and losses.
 
   
Overcollateralization, which is the amount by which the Net Pool Balance of the receivables exceeds the principal balance of the securities.
 
   
Yield supplement discount arrangements for low contract rate receivables where the payments due under certain low APR receivables are discounted at both the contract rate and at a higher rate and the aggregate difference of the discounted payments in each month is subtracted from the pool balance in order to increase the amount of principal required to be paid on each payment date.
 
   
One or both of the following structural features: subordination that will cause more junior classes of securities to absorb losses before more senior classes and “turbo” payments where interest as well as principal collections from the receivables will be used to repay a class or classes of securities and no amounts are released to pay any other classes of securities until such class or classes are paid.
 
Applicable cash flow enhancements may include the following, as specified in the applicable prospectus supplement:
 
   
Interest rate caps where the issuing entity makes an upfront payment to a cap counterparty and receives a payment on a monthly or quarterly basis to the extent the applicable interest rate index exceeds a stated, or capped, amount.
 
   
Currency swaps where the issuing entity makes fixed payments in one currency on a monthly or quarterly basis to a swap counterparty and receives a payment in a second currency based on the exchange rate between the two currencies.

 
34

 


   
Guaranteed investment contracts or guaranteed rate agreements under which in exchange for either a fixed one-time payment or a series of periodic payments the issuing entity will receive specified payments from a counterparty either in fixed amounts or in amounts sufficient to achieve the returns specified in the agreement and described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
 
   
Third party payments or guarantees, under which a third party would pay amounts specified in the applicable prospectus supplement if other assets of the issuing entity were insufficient to make required payments or would pay if assets of the issuing entity were unavailable, such as collections held by the servicer at the time of a bankruptcy proceeding.
 
   
Surety bonds or insurance policies, which would be purchased for the benefit of the holders of any specified class of securities to assure distributions of interest or principal with respect to that class in the manner and amount specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.
 
   
Letters of credit, under which the issuing entity of a letter of credit will be obligated to honor demands with respect to that letter of credit, to the extent of the amount available thereunder, and under the circumstances and subject to any conditions specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.
 
Any credit enhancement that constitutes a guarantee of the enhanced securities will be separately registered under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) under a new registration statement, unless the offer and sale of the guarantee is exempt from registration under the Securities Act.
 
The presence of credit enhancement for the benefit of any class or series of securities is intended to enhance the likelihood of receipt by the securityholders of that class or series of the full amount of principal and interest due thereon and to decrease the likelihood that those securityholders will experience losses. Any form of credit enhancement will have limitations and exclusions from coverage thereunder, which will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. The credit enhancement for a class or series of securities will not provide protection against all risks of loss and may not guarantee repayment of the entire outstanding balance and interest thereon. If losses occur which exceed the amount covered by any credit enhancement or which are not covered by any credit enhancement, securityholders may suffer a loss on their investment in those securities, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. In addition, if a form of credit enhancement covers more than one class of securities, securityholders of any given class will be subject to the risk that the credit enhancement will be exhausted by the claims of securityholders of other classes.
 
Servicer Reports
 
The servicer will perform monitoring and reporting functions with respect to the related receivables pool, including the preparation and delivery of a statement described under “The Securities — Statements to Securityholders” in this prospectus.
 
Purchase of Receivables by the Servicer
 
To the extent described in the applicable prospectus supplement, the servicer may be required to purchase receivables as to which the servicer has breached its servicing covenants in any manner that materially and adversely affects the interest of the securityholders or any applicable credit enhancement provider.
 
Servicing Fee
 
The servicer will be entitled to a monthly servicing fee as compensation for the performance of its obligations under each sale and servicing agreement. The precise calculation of this monthly servicing fee will be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement and the related transaction documents. The servicer or its designee will also be entitled to retain, as additional compensation, all late fees, extension fees, non-sufficient funds charges and all other administrative fees or similar charges allowed by applicable law with respect to any receivable, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. To the extent specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the servicer or its designee may also be entitled to receive net investment income from Permitted Investments as
 

 
35

 

additional servicing compensation. The servicer will not be entitled to reimbursement for any expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities under the sale and servicing agreements, except to the extent specified in the applicable prospectus supplement and the related transaction documents.
 
Collection of Receivable Payments
 
The servicer will be required to make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the receivables as and when the same become due in accordance with its customary servicing practices. Generally, the servicer may grant extensions, rebates, deferrals, amendments, modifications or adjustments with respect to any 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 a specific date identified in the applicable prospectus supplement or (ii) reduces the contract rate or outstanding principal balance with respect to any receivable other than as required by applicable law, it will purchase such receivable (other than (i) any workouts by the servicer with defaulted obligors in accordance with its customary servicing practices and (ii) any reductions specifically disclosed in this prospectus or the accompanying prospectus supplement, such as the waiver of any unpaid amounts not to exceed $25 owed with respect to a receivable in connection with its final payout). The servicer may in its discretion waive any late payment charge or any other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing a receivable. Subject to the purchase obligation described in the proviso above, 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 related 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. Additionally, the servicer may refinance any receivable and deposit the full outstanding principal balance of such receivable into the collection account. The receivable created by such refinancing shall not be property of the issuing entity. The servicer and its affiliates may also sell insurance or debt cancellation products.
 
Unless required by law or court order, the servicer may not release the financed vehicle securing each such receivable from the security interest granted by such receivable in whole or in part except 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 or in connection with repossession or except as may be required by an insurer in order to receive proceeds from any insurance policy covering such financed vehicle.
 
Advances
 
If and to the extent specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, on the business day prior to each payment date the servicer may be required to advance monthly payments on receivables due but not received (or not received in full) during and prior to the related collection period. However, the servicer will not be obligated to make an advance if funds available in the related collection account on that payment date are sufficient to make specified payments to the securityholders and other parties entitled to receive payment on that payment date. Further, the servicer will not be obligated to make an advance if the servicer determines in good faith that such advance is not likely to be repaid from future cash flows from the receivables pool. No advance will be made with respect to defaulted receivables. In making advances, the servicer will assist in maintaining a regular flow of scheduled principal and interest payments on the receivables, rather than to guarantee or insure against losses. Accordingly, all advances will be reimbursable to the servicer from collections on the receivables pool prior to any distributions on the securities of the related series.
 
Realization Upon Defaulted Receivables
 
On behalf of the related issuing entity, the servicer will use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its customary servicing practices, to repossess or otherwise convert the ownership of the financed vehicle securing any receivable as to which the servicer had determined eventual payment in full is unlikely unless it determines in its reasonable judgment that repossession will not increase the liquidation proceeds by an amount greater than the expense of such repossession or that the proceeds ultimately recoverable with respect to such receivable would be increased by forbearance. The servicer will follow such customary servicing practices as it
 

 
36

 

deems necessary or advisable, which may include reasonable efforts to realize upon any recourse to any dealer and selling the financed vehicle at public or private sale. The foregoing will be subject to the provision that, in any case in which the financed vehicle has suffered damage, the servicer will not be required to expend funds in connection with the repair or the repossession of such financed vehicle unless it determines in reasonable judgment that such repair and/or repossession will increase the liquidation proceeds by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses. The servicer, in its reasonable judgment, may in accordance with its customary servicing practices sell any receivable’s deficiency balance. Net proceeds of any such sale allocable to the receivable will constitute liquidation proceeds, and the sole right of the related issuing entity and the related indenture trustee with respect to any such sold receivables will be to receive such liquidation proceeds. Upon such sale, the servicer will mark its computer records indicating that any such receivable sold no longer belongs to the related issuing entity. The servicer is authorized to take any and all actions necessary or appropriate on behalf of the related issuing entity to evidence the sale of the receivable free from any lien or other interest of the related issuing entity or the related indenture trustee.
 
Evidence as to Compliance
 
The sale and servicing agreements will provide that a firm of independent registered public accountants (who may also render other services to the servicer, the depositor or their respective affiliates) will annually furnish to the servicer, the depositor, the owner trustee, the indenture trustee, each rating agency and, if applicable, the related credit enhancement provider, a statement to the effect that they have attested to the assertion of authorized officers of the servicer that the servicing was conducted in compliance with certain applicable provisions of the sale and servicing agreement in all material respects.
 
In addition, on or before March 30 of each calendar year such accountants will also furnish a report that expresses an opinion, or states that an opinion cannot be expressed, concerning the servicer’s assessment of compliance with the applicable servicing criteria.
 
The sale and servicing agreements will also provide for delivery, on or before March 30 of each calendar year, to the related issuing entity, the depositor, the indenture trustee, each rating agency and, if applicable, the related credit enhancement provider, a report, regarding the servicer’s assessment of compliance during the preceding fiscal year with all applicable servicing criteria set forth in relevant SEC regulations for asset-backed securities transactions that are backed by the same types of assets as those backing the securities. The servicer will also give the depositor, the related issuing entity, indenture trustee, administrator, each rating agency and, if applicable, the related credit enhancement provider, notice of any events of termination of the servicer under the related sale and servicing agreements.
 
For so long as the issuing entity is required to report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, an annual report of Form 10-K will be filed with the SEC within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year. The annual report will contain the statements, certificates and reports discussed above.
 
Resignation and Removal of the Servicer
 
Servicer Replacement Events
 
The servicer replacement events under any sale and servicing agreement will be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.
 
Upon the occurrence of any servicer replacement event, the sole remedy available to the issuing entity and securityholders will be to remove the servicer and appoint a successor servicer, as provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. However, if the commencement of a bankruptcy or similar case or proceeding were the only servicer replacement event, and a bankruptcy trustee or similar official has been appointed for the servicer, the trustee or such official may have the power to prevent the servicer’s removal.
 

 
37

 

Resignation of the Servicer
 
The servicer may not resign from its obligations and duties under any sale and servicing agreement unless it determines that its duties thereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law. No such resignation will become effective until a successor servicer has assumed the servicer’s servicing obligations. The servicer may not assign any sale and servicing agreement or any of its rights, powers, duties or obligations thereunder except in connection with a consolidation or merger. However, unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the servicer may delegate (i) any or all of its duties to any of its affiliates or (ii) specific duties to sub-contractors who are in the business of performing those duties. However, the servicer will remain responsible for any duties it has delegated.
 
Servicer Succession
 
Upon the termination or resignation of the servicer, the servicer will continue to perform its functions as servicer, until a newly appointed servicer for the applicable receivables pool has assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the resigning or terminated servicer.
 
Upon appointment of a successor servicer, the successor servicer will assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the servicer with respect to the related receivables pool (other than with respect to certain obligations of the predecessor servicer that survive its termination as servicer including indemnification obligations against certain events arising before its replacement); provided, however, that a successor servicer may not have any responsibilities with respect to making advances. If a bankruptcy trustee or similar official has been appointed for the servicer, that trustee or official may have the power to prevent the indenture trustee, the owner trustee (or the independent manager, as applicable) and the securityholders from effecting that transfer of servicing. The predecessor servicer will have the right to be reimbursed for any outstanding advances, if any, made with respect to the related receivables pool to the extent funds are available therefor in accordance with the applicable priority of payments.
 
Rights Upon Default by the Servicer
 
Matters relating to the termination of the related servicer’s rights and obligations and the waiver of any defaults by the related servicer under the related sale and servicing agreement will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
 
Amendment
 
Each of the transaction documents (other than each indenture) may be amended in the manner and for the purposes described in the applicable prospectus supplement. In certain circumstances specified in that prospectus supplement and the related transaction documents, the transaction documents may be amended without the consent of the securityholders.
 
Optional Redemption
 
To the extent specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, in order to avoid excessive administrative expense, the depositor, the servicer or other entity specified in the applicable prospectus supplement will be permitted at its option to purchase the remaining receivables and other property included in the issuing entity property of an issuing entity on any payment date if both of the following conditions are satisfied: (a) as of the last day of the related collection period the then-outstanding Net Pool Balance on that payment date has declined to 10% or less of the initial Net Pool Balance as of the cut-off date plus any prefunding amounts specified in the applicable prospectus supplement and (b) the sum of the purchase price for the assets of the issuing entity plus the collections in the collection account for such payment date would be sufficient to pay in full the notes and certificates and all fees and expenses of the trust.  In no event will any noteholders or certificateholders or the related issuing entity be subject to any liability to the entity purchasing the receivables as a result of or arising out of that entity’s purchase of the receivables.
 

 
38

 

As more fully described in the applicable prospectus supplement, any outstanding notes of the issuing entity will be redeemed concurrently with occurrence of the event specified in the preceding paragraph, and the subsequent distribution to the related certificateholders, if any, of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to the applicable trust agreement will effect early retirement of the certificates of that series. The final payment or distribution to any securityholder will be made only upon surrender and cancellation of the securityholder’s security at an office or agency of the owner trustee (or the independent manager, as applicable) or indenture trustee specified in the notice of termination. The owner trustee (or the independent manager, as applicable) or indenture trustee will return, or cause to be returned, any unclaimed funds to the issuing entity.
 
The Owner Trustee (or Independent Manager) and the Indenture Trustee
 
Each of the owner trustee (or the independent manager, as applicable) and the indenture trustee, if applicable for any series of securities will be identified in the prospectus supplement for that series, along with a description of the material rights, duties and obligations of that trustee (or the independent manager, as applicable). Generally, prior to an event of default with respect to a series of securities, the owner trustee (or the independent manager, as applicable) and indenture trustee will be required to perform only those duties specifically required of it under the related sale and servicing agreement, trust agreement, administration agreement or indenture, as applicable. Generally, those duties are limited to the receipt of the various certificates, reports or other instruments required to be furnished to the owner trustee (or the independent manager, as applicable) or indenture trustee under the related sale and servicing agreement, administration agreement, or indenture, as applicable, and the making of payments or distributions to securityholders in the amounts specified in reports provided by the servicer. Any exceptions to this general rule will be disclosed in the applicable prospectus supplement.
 
Each owner trustee (or the independent manager, as applicable) and indenture trustee, and any of their respective affiliates, may hold securities in their own names. In addition, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of local jurisdictions, each owner trustee (or the independent manager, as applicable) and indenture trustee, in some circumstances, acting jointly with the servicer or administrator (as specified in the applicable prospectus supplement), will have the power to appoint co-trustees or separate trustees (or managers, as applicable) of all or any part of the related issuing entity property. In the event of the appointment of co-trustees or separate trustees (or managers, as applicable), all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the owner trustee (or the independent manager, as applicable) or indenture trustee by the related transaction documents will be conferred or imposed upon the owner trustee (or the independent manager, as applicable) or indenture trustee and the separate trustee or co-trustee (or manager, as applicable) jointly, or, in any jurisdiction in which the owner trustee (or the independent manager, as applicable) or indenture trustee, is incompetent or unqualified to perform specified acts, singly upon the separate trustee or co-trustee (or manager, as applicable) who will exercise and perform any rights, powers, duties and obligations solely at the direction of the owner trustee (or the independent manager, as applicable) or indenture trustee.
 
Each owner trustee (or the independent manager, as applicable) and indenture trustee will be entitled to a fee. The applicable prospectus supplement will identify the party responsible for paying the trustee fees (or manager fees, as applicable) and for indemnifying the trustees (or managers, as applicable) against specified losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by that trustee (or independent manager, as applicable) in connection with the transaction documents.
 
The originator, the servicer and the depositor may maintain commercial banking and investment banking relationships with each owner trustee (or the independent manager, as applicable) and indenture trustee and their respective affiliates.
 
The Administrator
 
The originator or another party specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, in its capacity as administrator under an administration agreement, will perform the administrative obligations required to be performed by the issuing entity under the indenture or trust agreement, as applicable, and the other transaction documents. With respect to any issuing entity, as compensation for the performance of the administrator’s obligations under the applicable administration agreement and as reimbursement for its expenses related thereto, the
 

 
39

 

administrator will be entitled to an administration fee in an amount to be set forth in the applicable administration agreement.
 
DESCRIPTION OF THE INDENTURE
 
The following summary describes the material terms of each indenture pursuant to which the notes of a series, if any, will be issued. A form of indenture has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. This summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of each applicable indenture and the applicable prospectus supplement.
 
Modification of Indenture
 
See “The Transaction Documents — Amendment” in this prospectus and “The Transaction Documents - Amendment Provisions” in the applicable prospectus supplement.
 
Events of Default Under the Indenture; Rights Upon Event of Default
 
With respect to the notes of a given series, what constitutes an “event of default” under the related indenture will be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.
 
The failure to pay principal of a class of notes generally will not result in the occurrence of an event of default under the indenture until the final scheduled payment date for that class of notes.
 
With respect to each series that includes notes, the rights and remedies of the related indenture trustee, the related holders of the notes and the related credit enhancement provider, if any, will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
 
Material Covenants
 
Each indenture will provide that each issuing entity will not, among other things:
 
 
except as expressly permitted by the applicable indenture, the applicable sale and servicing agreement, the applicable trust agreement, the purchase agreement, the applicable administration agreement, sell, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of any of the assets of the issuing entity (including those included in the issuing entity property);
 
 
claim any credit on or make any deduction from the principal and interest payable in respect of the notes of the related series (other than amounts withheld under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or applicable state law) or assert any claim against any present or former holder of the notes because of the payment of taxes levied or assessed upon any part of the issuing entity property;
 
 
dissolve or liquidate in whole or in part;
 
 
merge or consolidate with, or transfer substantially all of its assets to, any other person;
 
 
permit the validity or effectiveness of the related indenture to be impaired or permit any person to be released from any covenants or obligations with respect to the notes under that indenture except as may be expressly permitted thereby;
 
 
permit any lien, charge, excise, claim, security interest, mortgage or other encumbrance (except certain permitted encumbrances) to be created on or extend to or otherwise arise upon or burden the assets of the issuing entity or any part thereof, or any interest therein or the proceeds thereof; or


 
40

 


 
issue, incur, assume or guarantee any indebtedness other than indebtedness incurred in accordance with the transaction documents.
 
Annual Compliance Statement
 
Each issuing entity will be required to file annually with the related indenture trustee and rating agencies a written officer’s statement as to the fulfillment of its obligations under the indenture which, among other things, will state that to the best of the officer’s knowledge, the issuing entity has complied with all conditions and covenants under the indenture throughout that year in all material respects, or, if there has been a default in the compliance of any condition or covenant, specifying each default known to that officer and the nature and status of that default.
 
Indenture Trustee’s Annual Report
 
If required by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, the indenture trustee for each issuing entity will be required to mail each year to all related noteholders a brief report setting forth the following:
 
 
 
its eligibility and qualification to continue as indenture trustee under the related indenture;
 
 
 
information regarding a conflicting interest of the indenture trustee;
 
 
 
if the related indenture requires the indenture trustee to make advances, the character and amount of any advances made by it under the indenture;
 
 
 
the amount, interest rate and maturity date of any indebtedness owing by the issuing entity to the applicable indenture trustee in its individual capacity;
 
 
 
any change to the property and funds physically held by the indenture trustee in its capacity as indenture trustee;
 
 
 
any release, or release and substitution, of property subject to the lien of the related indenture that has not been previously reported;
 
 
 
any additional issue of notes that has not been previously reported; and
 
 
 
any action taken by it that materially affects the related notes or the trust property and that has not been previously reported.
 
Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture
 
An indenture will be discharged with respect to the collateral securing the related notes upon the delivery to the related indenture trustee for cancellation of all the related notes or, subject to specified limitations, upon deposit with the indenture trustee of funds sufficient for the payment in full of principal of and accrued interest on notes.
 
The Indenture Trustee
 
The indenture trustee for each issuing entity that issues notes will be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. The principal office of the indenture trustee will be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. The indenture trustee for any issuing entity may resign at any time, in which event the issuing entity will be obligated to appoint a successor trustee for such issuing entity. The issuing entity will remove an indenture trustee if such indenture trustee ceases to be eligible to continue as such under the related indenture, a receiver takes charge of the indenture trustee or its property, the indenture trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting, the indenture trustee breaches any representation, warranty or covenant made by it under any transaction document, or if such indenture trustee becomes insolvent. In such circumstances, the issuing entity will be obligated to appoint a successor trustee for the notes of the applicable issuing entity. In addition, the securityholders holding a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the notes (or such other amount as specified in the applicable prospectus
 

 
41

 

supplement), may remove the indenture trustee without cause by so notifying the indenture trustee and may appoint a successor indenture trustee. Any resignation or removal of the indenture trustee and appointment of a successor trustee for the notes of the issuing entity does not become effective until acceptance of the appointment by the successor trustee for such issuing entity.
 
The indenture trustee is required to be a bank (within the meaning of Section 2(a)(5) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or any state, authorized under those laws to exercise corporate trust powers, have a combined capital surplus and undivided profits of at least $250,000,000, and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority, the long term debt of which is rated not lower than “A” by each rating agency specified in the indenture.
 
Additional matters relating to the indenture trustee are described under “The Transaction Documents — The Owner Trustee (or Independent Manager) and the Indenture Trustee” in this prospectus and under “The Trustees” in the applicable prospectus supplement.
 
MATERIAL LEGAL ASPECTS OF THE RECEIVABLES
 
Rights in the Receivables
 
The transfer of the receivables by the originator to the depositor, and by the depositor to the applicable issuing entity, and the pledge thereof to an indenture trustee, if any, the perfection of the security interests in the receivables and the enforcement of rights to realize on the related financed vehicles as collateral for the receivables are subject to a number of federal and state laws, including the UCC and certificate of title act as in effect in various states. The servicer and the depositor will take the actions described below to perfect the rights of the issuing entity and the indenture trustee in the receivables.
 
Under each sale and servicing agreement or indenture, as applicable, the servicer or a subservicer may be appointed by the issuing entity or indenture trustee to act as the custodian of the receivables. The servicer or a subservicer, as the custodian, will have possession of the original contracts giving rise to the receivables. To the extent any of the receivables arise under or are evidenced by contracts in electronic form (such electronic contracts, together with the original contracts in tangible form, collectively “chattel paper”), the servicer or subservicer, as the custodian, will have printed copies of the electronic contracts and the capability of accessing the electronic information. While neither the original contracts nor the printed copies of electronic contracts giving rise to the receivables will be marked to indicate the ownership interest thereof by the issuing entity, and neither the custodian nor the indenture trustee will have “control” of the authoritative copy of those contracts that are in electronic form, appropriate UCC-1 financing statements reflecting the transfer and assignment of the receivables by each applicable originator to the depositor and by the depositor to the issuing entity, and the pledge thereof to an indenture trustee will be filed to perfect that interest and give notice of the issuing entity’s ownership interest in, and the indenture trustee’s security interest in, the receivables and related chattel paper. If, through inadvertence or otherwise, any of the receivables were sold or pledged to another party who purchased (including a pledgee) the receivables in the ordinary course of its business and took possession of the original contracts in tangible form or “control” of the authoritative copy of the contracts in electronic form giving rise to the receivables, the purchaser would acquire an interest in the receivables superior to the interests of the issuing entity and the indenture trustee if the purchaser acquired the receivables for value and without knowledge that the purchase violates the rights of the issuing entity or the indenture trustee, which could cause investors to suffer losses on their securities.
 
Generally, the rights held by assignees of the receivables, including without limitation the issuing entity and the indenture trustee, will be subject to:
 
 
 
all the terms of the contracts related to or evidencing the receivable; and any defense or claim in recoupment arising from the transaction that gave rise to the contracts; and
 
 
 
any other defense or claim of the obligor against the assignor of such receivable which accrues before the obligor receives notification of the assignment.

 
42

 

Because none of the applicable originator, the depositor or the issuing entity is obligated to give the obligors notice of the assignment of any of the receivables, the issuing entity and the indenture trustee, if any, will be subject to defenses or claims of the obligor against the assignor even if such claims are unrelated to the receivable.
 
Security Interests in the Financed Vehicles
 
Obtaining Security Interests in Financed Vehicles.  In all states in which the receivables have been originated, motor vehicle retail installment sale contracts and/or installment loans such as the receivables evidence the credit sale or refinancing of automobiles, light-duty trucks and/or other types of motor vehicles. The receivables also constitute personal property security agreements and include grants of security interests in the vehicles under the applicable UCC. Perfection of security interests in the vehicles is generally governed by the motor vehicle registration laws of the state in which the vehicle is located. In most states, a security interest in an automobile, a light-duty truck and/or another type of motor vehicle is perfected by obtaining the certificate of title to the financed vehicle or the notation of the secured party’s lien on the vehicle’s certificate of title. However, in California and in certain other states, certificates of title and the notation of the related lien may be maintained solely in the electronic records of the applicable department of motor vehicles or the analogous state office. As a result, any reference to a certificate of title in this prospectus or in the applicable prospectus supplement includes certificates of title maintained in physical form and electronic form which may also be held by third-party servicers. In some states, certificates of title maintained in physical form are held by the obligor and not the lienholder or a third-party servicer. The originator will warrant to the depositor that it has taken all steps necessary to obtain a perfected first priority security interest with respect to all financed vehicles securing the receivables. If the originator fails, because of clerical errors or otherwise, to effect or maintain the notation of the security interest on the certificate of title relating to a financed vehicle, the issuing entity may not have a perfected first priority security interest in that financed vehicle.  In some jurisdictions the issuing entity may not have a perfected security interest in the related financed vehicle even if the originator had timely taken appropriate action to have the appropriate governmental office process the notation of security interest on the certificate of title but the appropriate governmental office unduly delayed in effectuating such notation beyond the period provided under applicable law for temporary automatic perfection of the security interest in a financed vehicle prior to the notation of the lien on the certificate of title for such vehicle.
 
If the originator did not take the steps necessary to cause the security interest of the originator to be perfected as described above until more than 20 days after the date the related obligor received possession of the financed vehicle, and the related obligor was insolvent on the date such steps were taken, the perfection of such security interest may be avoided as a preferential transfer under bankruptcy law if the obligor under the related receivables becomes the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding commenced within 90 days of the date of such perfection, in which case the applicable originator, and subsequently, the depositor, the issuing entity and the indenture trustee, if any, would be treated as an unsecured creditor of such obligor.
 
Perfection of Security Interests in Financed Vehicles.  The originator will sell the receivables and assign its security interest in each financed vehicle to the depositor. The depositor will sell the receivables and assign the security interest in each financed vehicle to the related issuing entity. However, because of the administrative burden and expense of retitling, the servicer, the depositor and the issuing entity will not amend any certificate of title to identify the issuing entity (or the indenture trustee or its assignees) as the new secured party on the certificates of title relating to the financed vehicles. Accordingly, the originator will continue to be named as the secured party on the certificates of title relating to the financed vehicles. In most states, assignments such as those under the transfer agreements and the sale and servicing agreements relating to each issuing entity are an effective conveyance of the security interests in the financed vehicles without amendment of the lien noted on the related certificate of title, and the new secured party succeeds to the assignor’s rights as the secured party. However, a risk exists in not identifying the related issuing entity as the new secured party on the certificate of title because, through fraud or negligence, the security interest of the issuing entity could be released or another person could obtain a security interest in the applicable vehicle that is higher in priority than the interest of the issuing entity.
 
In the absence of fraud, forgery or neglect by the financed vehicle owner or administrative error by state recording officials, notation of the lien of the originator generally will be sufficient to protect the related issuing entity against the rights of subsequent purchasers of a financed vehicle or subsequent lenders who take a security
 

 
43

 

interest in a financed vehicle. If there are any financed vehicles as to which the originator has failed to perfect the security interest assigned to the related issuing entity, that security interest would be subordinate to, among others, subsequent purchasers of the financed vehicles and holders of perfected security interests.
 
Under the UCC as in effect in most states, if a security interest in a financed vehicle is perfected by any method under the laws of one state, and the financed vehicle is then moved to another state and titled in that other state, the security interest that was perfected under the laws of the original state remains perfected as against all persons other than a purchaser of the vehicle for value for as long as the security interest would have been perfected under the law of the original state. However, a security interest in a financed vehicle that is covered by a certificate of title from the original state becomes unperfected as against a purchaser of that financed vehicle for value and is deemed never to have been perfected as against that purchaser if the security interest in that financed vehicle has not been perfected under the laws of that other state within four months after the financed vehicle became covered by a certificate of title statute of the other state. A majority of states requires that the certificate of title be surrendered in order to re-register a vehicle. Therefore, the servicer will provide the department of motor vehicles or other appropriate state or county agency of the state of relocation with the certificate of title so that the owner can effect the re-registration. If the financed vehicle owner moves to a state that provides for notation of a lien on the certificate of title to perfect the security interests in the financed vehicle, then in the absence of clerical errors or fraud the originator would receive notice of surrender of the certificate of title if its lien is noted thereon. Accordingly, the secured party will have notice and the opportunity to re-perfect the security interest in the financed vehicle in the state of relocation. If the financed vehicle owner moves to a state which does not require surrender of a certificate of title for registration of a motor vehicle, re-registration could defeat perfection. In the ordinary course of servicing its portfolio of motor vehicle retail installment sale contracts and/or installment loans, Huntington takes steps to effect re-perfection upon receipt of notice of registration or information from the obligor as to relocation. Similarly, when an obligor under a receivable sells a financed vehicle, the servicer must provide the owner with the certificate of title, or the servicer will receive notice as a result of its lien noted thereon and accordingly will have an opportunity to require satisfaction of the related receivable before release of the lien. Under each sale and servicing agreement, the servicer will, in accordance with its customary servicing practices, take such steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest created by each receivable in the related financed vehicle. Each issuing entity will authorize the servicer to take such steps as are necessary to re-perfect the security interest on behalf of the issuing entity and the indenture trustee in the event of the relocation of a financed vehicle or for any other reason.
 
Under the laws of most states, statutory liens such as liens for unpaid taxes, liens for towing, storage and repairs performed on a motor vehicle, motor vehicle accident liens and liens arising under various state and federal criminal statutes take priority over a perfected security interest in a financed vehicle. Under the Code, federal tax liens that are filed have priority over a subsequently perfected lien of a secured party. In addition, certain states grant priority to state tax liens over a prior perfected lien of a secured party. The laws of most states and federal law permit the confiscation of motor vehicles by governmental authorities under some circumstances if used in or acquired with the proceeds of unlawful activities, which may result in the loss of a secured party’s perfected security interest in a confiscated vehicle. With respect to each issuing entity, the depositor will represent in each sale and servicing agreement that, as of the initial issuance of the securities of the related series, no state or federal liens exist with respect to any financed vehicle securing payment on any related receivable. However, liens could arise, or a confiscation could occur, at any time during the term of a receivable. It is possible that no notice will be given to the servicer in the event that a lien arises or a confiscation occurs, and any lien arising or confiscation occurring after the related Closing Date would not give rise to the originator’s repurchase obligations under the related transfer agreement.
 
Security Interests in Receivables
 
Physical Installment Sales Contracts.  Except to the extent otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement for a series of securities, the receivables are evidenced by physical installment sale contracts or direct loans, which are classified as “tangible chattel paper” under the UCC in effect in the States of New York, Ohio and Delaware. Pursuant to the UCC, the sale of chattel paper is treated in a manner similar to perfection of a security interest in chattel paper. In order to protect a trust’s ownership interest in its receivables evidenced by physical installment sale contracts or direct loans, the depositor will file UCC-1 financing statements with the appropriate governmental authorities in the State of Delaware to give notice of the trust’s ownership of those receivables and their proceeds. Under the sale and servicing agreement, the servicer will be obligated to maintain the perfection of
 

 
44

 

the trust’s ownership interest in the receivables. However, a purchaser of tangible chattel paper who gives new value and takes possession of it in the ordinary course of such purchaser’s business has priority over a security interest in the tangible chattel paper which is perfected by filing UCC-1 financing statements, and not by possession by the original secured party, if such purchaser acts in good faith without knowledge that the specific tangible chattel paper is subject to a security interest. Any such purchaser would not be deemed to have such knowledge by virtue of the UCC filings and would not learn of the sale of the receivables from a review of the documents evidencing the receivables since they would not be marked to show such sale, although the servicer’s master computer records will indicate such sale.
 
Electronic Installment Sales Contracts.  As and to the extent specified in the prospectus supplement for a series of securities, the receivables may be evidenced by electronic installment sales contracts or direct loans, which are classified as “electronic chattel paper” under the UCC in effect in the States of Ohio and Delaware. A security interest in electronic chattel paper is perfected through the secured party’s maintaining control of the electronic chattel paper in accordance with the applicable UCC. Each trust’s sale and servicing agreement will obligate the servicer to maintain “control” of any electronic chattel paper evidencing the trust’s receivables. In this regard, the servicer would develop or contract with a service provider to use an electronic vaulting system to maintain certain of its contracts in electronic form as described in the prospectus for the applicable series of securities. The system is expected to permit the perfection of a security interest in receivables evidenced by electronic installment sale contracts or direct loans through control. However, a third party (including a creditor of a dealer through whom receivables are originated, could acquire an interest in that type of receivable that is superior to the servicer’s interest in such a receivable if the servicer loses control over the related electronic installment sale contract or direct loan and such third party purchases that receivable without knowledge of the servicer’s security interest. The servicer (or indenture trustee) could lose control over an electronic installment sale contract or direct loan if, through fraud, negligence, other misconduct or error, or as a result of a computer virus or a hacker’s actions, a person other than the servicer were able to modify or duplicate the authoritative copy of that contract. We cannot assure you that the system will maintain control over a trust’s electronic installment sale contracts or direct loans.
 
The law governing the perfection of a security interest in electronic installment sale contracts and direct loans by control was relatively recently enacted. As a result, there is a risk that the systems employed by the servicer or a contractor to maintain control of the electronic installment sale contracts and direct loans may not be sufficient as a matter of law to create in favor of a trust a perfected security interest in the receivables evidenced by electronic installment sale contracts or direct loans.
 
Repossession
 
In the event of a default by an obligor, the holder of the related motor vehicle retail installment sales contract and/or installment loan has all the remedies of a secured party under the UCC, except as specifically limited by other applicable state laws. Among the remedies afforded to a secured party by the UCC, the secured party has the right to repossess a financed vehicle by self-help means, unless that means would constitute a breach of the peace under applicable state law or is otherwise limited by applicable state law. Unless a financed vehicle is voluntarily surrendered, self-help repossession is accomplished simply by retaking possession of the financed vehicle. In cases where the obligor objects or raises a defense to repossession, or if otherwise required by applicable state law, a court order must be obtained from the appropriate state court, and the financed vehicle must then be recovered in accordance with that order. In some jurisdictions, the secured party is required to notify the obligor of the default and the intent to repossess the collateral and to give the obligor a time period within which to cure the default prior to repossession. Generally, this right to cure may only be exercised on a limited number of occasions during the term of the related receivable. Other jurisdictions permit repossession without prior notice if it can be accomplished without a breach of the peace (although in some states, a course of conduct in which the creditor has accepted late payments has been held to create a right by the obligor to receive prior notice). In some states, after the financed vehicle has been repossessed, the obligor may reinstate the related receivable by paying the delinquent installments and other amounts due.
 
Notice of Sale; Redemption Rights
 
Some jurisdictions require that the obligor that has defaulted on its obligations under a motor vehicle retail installment sales contract and/or installment loan be notified of the default and be given a time period within which
 

 
45

 

it may cure the default prior to repossession. Generally, this right of reinstatement may be exercised on a limited number of occasions in any one year period.
 
The UCC and other state laws require the secured party to provide the obligor with reasonable notice concerning the disposition of the collateral including, among other things, the date, time and place of any public sale and/or the date after which any private sale of the collateral may be held and certain additional information if the collateral constitutes consumer goods. In addition, some states also impose substantive timing requirements on the sale of repossessed vehicles and/or various substantive timing and content requirements relating to those notices. In some states, after a financed vehicle has been repossessed, the obligor may reinstate the account by paying the delinquent installments and other amounts due, in which case the financed vehicle is returned to the obligor. The obligor has the right to redeem the collateral prior to actual sale or entry by the secured party into a contract for sale of the collateral by paying the secured party the unpaid outstanding principal balance of the obligation, accrued interest thereon, reasonable expenses for repossessing, holding and preparing the collateral for disposition and arranging for its sale, plus, in some jurisdictions, reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses.
 
Deficiency Judgments and Excess Proceeds
 
The proceeds of resale of the repossessed vehicles generally will be applied first to the expenses of resale and repossession and then to the satisfaction of the indebtedness. While some states impose prohibitions or limitations on deficiency judgments if the net proceeds from resale do not cover the full amount of the indebtedness, a deficiency judgment can be sought in those states that do not prohibit or limit those judgments. However, the deficiency judgment would be a personal judgment against the obligor for the shortfall, and a defaulting obligor can be expected to have very little capital or sources of income available following repossession. Therefore, in many cases, it may not be useful to seek a deficiency judgment or, if one is obtained, it may be settled at a significant discount. In addition to the notice requirement, the UCC requires that every aspect of the sale or other disposition, including the method, manner, time, place and terms, be “commercially reasonable.” Generally, in the case of consumer goods, courts have held that when a sale is not “commercially reasonable,” the secured party loses its right to a deficiency judgment. Generally, in the case of collateral that does not constitute consumer goods, the UCC provides that when a sale is not “commercially reasonable,” the secured party may retain its right to at least a portion of the deficiency judgment.
 
The UCC also permits the debtor or other interested party to recover for any loss caused by noncompliance with the provisions of the UCC. In particular, if the collateral is consumer goods, the UCC grants the debtor the right to recover in any event an amount not less than the credit service charge plus 10% of the principal amount of the debt. In addition, prior to a sale, the UCC permits the debtor or other interested person to prohibit or restrain on appropriate terms the secured party from disposing of the collateral if it is established that the secured party is not proceeding in accordance with the “default” provisions under the UCC.
 
Occasionally, after resale of a repossessed vehicle and payment of all expenses and indebtedness, there is a surplus of funds. In that case, the UCC requires the creditor to remit the surplus to any holder of a subordinate lien with respect to the vehicle or if no subordinate lienholder exists, the UCC requires the creditor to remit the surplus to the obligor.
 
Consumer Protection Law
 
Numerous federal and state consumer protection laws and related regulations impose substantial requirements upon lenders and servicers involved in consumer finance, including requirements regarding the adequate disclosure of contract terms and limitations on contract terms, collection practices and creditor remedies. These laws include the Truth-in-Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, the Federal Reserve Board’s Regulations B and Z, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Relief Act, state adoptions of the National Consumer Act and the UCC, state motor vehicle retail installment sales acts, consumer lending laws, unfair or deceptive practices acts including requirements regarding the adequate disclosure of contract terms and limitations on contract terms, collection practices and creditor remedies and other similar laws. The Consumer Financial Protection Act of 2010, enacted as part of the Dodd-Frank Act, has created the BCFP, a new federal agency that will be responsible for administering and enforcing the laws and regulations for consumer financial
 

 
46

 

products and services.  The BCFP is intended to exercise meaningful oversight of all providers of consumer financial products in order to police compliance with substantive consumer protection requirements and to promote transparency for consumers to understand the price and the risk of products in order that they may make direct comparisons from one product to another.  The BCFP will succeed to some consumer protection functions of other regulatory agencies such as the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and will have supervisory and limited examination authority over certain depository institutions and other financial institutions, including Huntington.
 
In addition, many states have adopted “lemon laws” which provide redress to consumers who purchase a vehicle that remains out of compliance with its manufacturer’s warranty after a specified number of attempts to correct a problem for a specified time period. Also, state laws impose finance charge ceilings and other restrictions on consumer transactions and require contract disclosures in addition to those required under federal law. These requirements impose specific statutory liabilities upon creditors who fail to comply with their provisions. In some cases, this liability could affect an assignee’s ability to enforce consumer finance contracts such as the receivables described above.
 
In addition, with respect to used vehicles, the FTC’s Rule on Sale of Used Vehicles (the “FTC Rule”) requires all sellers of used vehicles to prepare, complete and display a “Buyers’ Guide” which explains the warranty coverage for such vehicles. The Federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act and state lemon laws may impose further obligations on motor vehicle dealers. Holders of the receivables may have liability for claims and defenses under those statutes, the FTC Rule and similar state statutes.
 
The so-called “Holder-in-Due-Course” rule of the FTC (the “HDC Rule”) has the effect of subjecting any assignee of the seller in a consumer credit transaction, and related creditors and their assignees, to all claims and defenses which the consumer obligor in the transaction could assert against the seller. Liability under the HDC Rule is limited to the amounts paid by the consumer obligor under the receivable, and the holder of the receivable may also be unable to collect any balance remaining due thereunder from the consumer obligor. The HDC Rule is generally duplicated by the Uniform Consumer Credit Code, other state statutes or the common law in some states. Liability of assignees for claims under state consumer protection laws may differ though.
 
To the extent the receivables constitute retail installment sales contracts or direct loans where the obligor is the consumer, those receivables will be subject to the requirements of the HDC Rule. Accordingly, each issuing entity, as holder of the related receivables, will be subject to any claims or defenses that the consumer purchaser of the applicable financed vehicle may assert against the seller of the financed vehicle. As to each consumer obligor, those claims under the HDC Rule are limited to a maximum liability equal to the amounts paid by the consumer obligor on the related receivable. The originator will represent in each transfer agreement that each of the contracts, and the sale of the contracts, will comply with all requirements of applicable laws and the regulations issued pursuant thereto.
 
Any shortfalls or losses arising in connection with the matters described in the five preceding paragraphs, to the extent not covered by amounts payable to the securityholders from amounts available under a credit enhancement mechanism, could result in losses to securityholders.
 
Courts have applied general equitable principles to secured parties pursuing repossession and litigation involving deficiency balances. These equitable principles may have the effect of relieving an obligor from some or all of the legal consequences of a default.
 
In several cases, consumers have asserted that the self-help remedies of secured parties under the UCC and related laws violate the due process protections provided under the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Courts have generally upheld the notice provisions of the UCC and related laws as reasonable or have found that the repossession and resale by the creditor do not involve sufficient state action to afford constitutional protection to obligors.
 
Most of the receivables will be subject to the requirements of the holder-in-due-course rule. The issuing entity, as holder of the receivables, will be subject to any claims or defenses that the purchaser of the financed vehicle may assert against the seller of the financed vehicle.  These claims are limited to a maximum liability equal to the amounts paid by the obligor of the receivable.  If an obligor were successful in asserting these claims or
 

 
47

 

defenses, these claims or defenses would constitute a breach of Huntington’s warranties under sale and servicing agreements and may create an obligation of Huntington to repurchase the receivable unless the breach is cured in all material respects.  See “The Transaction Documents –Transfer and Assignment of the Receivables” in this prospectus.
 
Under the sale and servicing agreements, Huntington will represent to the depositor that each receivable complies with all requirements of law in all material respects. The depositor will have assigned the representation, among others, to the issuing entity. Accordingly, if an obligor has a claim against the issuing entity for violation of any law and that claim materially and adversely affects the issuing entity’s interest in a receivable, the violation may create an obligation to repurchase the receivable unless the breach is cured in all material respects. See “The Transaction Documents—Transfer and Assignment of the Receivables” in this prospectus .

Certain Matters Relating to Bankruptcy
 
The obligor on each receivable is a natural person resident in the United States of America.  As of the cut-off date, each obligor is not a debtor in a bankruptcy case.  However, there is no assurance that an obligor would not become a debtor in a bankruptcy case following the cut-off date.  If an obligor sought protection under federal or state bankruptcy or debtor relief laws, the issuing entity would have indenture trustee a court could reduce or discharge completely the obligor’s obligations to repay amounts due on its receivable.
 
Certain Regulatory Matters
 
The operations and financial condition of the sponsor and its affiliates are subject to extensive regulation and supervision and to various requirements and restrictions under federal banking laws.  The appropriate federal banking agencies have broad enforcement powers over the sponsor and its affiliates.  These enforcement powers may adversely affect the operations of an issuing entity and the rights of the holders of the securities issued by that issuing entity under the related sale and servicing agreement and administration agreement prior to the appointment of a receiver or conservator.
 
If the appropriate federal banking agency finds that any agreement or contract, including a sale and servicing agreement or administration agreement, of the sponsor, or the performance of any obligation under such an agreement or contract, or any activity of the sponsor that is related to its obligations under such an agreement or contract, constitutes an unsafe or unsound practice, violates any law, rule, regulation, or written condition or agreement applicable to the sponsor or would adversely affect the safety and soundness of the sponsor, that banking agency has the power to order or direct the sponsor, among other things, to rescind that agreement or contract, refuse to perform that obligation, terminate that activity, or take such other action as the banking agency determines to be appropriate.  The sponsor may not be liable for contractual damages for complying with such an order or directive, and securityholders may not have any legal recourse against the applicable banking agency.
 
Repurchase Obligation
 
The originator will make representations and warranties in the applicable transaction documents that each receivable complies with all requirements of law. If any representation and warranty proves to be incorrect with respect to any receivable and is not timely cured, the originator may be required under the applicable transaction documents to repurchase the affected receivables. The originator may be, subject from time to time to litigation alleging that the receivables or its lending practices do not comply with applicable law. The commencement of any such litigation generally would not result in a breach of any of the originator’s representations or warranties.
 
Servicemembers Civil Relief Act
 
Under the terms of the Relief Act, a borrower who enters military service after the origination of such obligor’s receivable (including a borrower who was in reserve status and is called to active duty after origination of the receivable), may not be charged interest (including fees and charges) above an annual rate of 6% during the period of such obligor’s active duty status (and possibly longer), unless a court orders otherwise upon application of the lender. Interest at a rate in excess of 6% that would otherwise have been incurred but for the Relief Act is

forgiven. The Relief Act applies to obligors who are servicemembers and includes members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, National Guard, Reserves (when such enlisted person is called to active duty), Coast Guard, officers of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, officers of the U.S. Public Health Service assigned to duty with the Army or Navy and certain other persons as specified in the Relief Act. Because the Relief Act applies to obligors who enter military service (including reservists who are called to active duty) after origination of the related receivable, no information can be provided as to the number of receivables that may be affected by the Relief Act. In addition, the response of the United States to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 and the United States-led invasion and occupation of Iraq have included military operations that may increase the number of citizens who are in active military service, including persons in reserve status who have been called or will be called to active duty. Application of the Relief Act would adversely affect, for an indeterminate period of time, the ability of the servicer to collect full amounts of interest on certain of the receivables. Any shortfall in interest collections resulting from the application of the Relief Act or similar legislation or regulations which would not be recoverable from the related receivables, would result in a reduction of the amounts distributable to the securityholders. In addition, the Relief Act imposes limitations that would impair the ability of the servicer to foreclose on an affected receivable during the obligor’s period of active duty status, and, under certain circumstances, during an additional nine month period thereafter. Also, the laws of some states impose similar limitations during the obligor’s period of active duty status and, under certain circumstances, during an additional period thereafter as specified under the laws of those states. Thus, in the event that the Relief Act or similar state legislation or regulations applies to any receivable which goes into default, there may be delays in payment and losses on your securities. Any other interest shortfalls, deferrals or forgiveness of payments on the receivables resulting from the application of the Relief Act or similar state legislation or regulations may result in delays in payments or losses on your securities.
 
Any shortfalls or losses arising in connection with the matters described above, to the extent not covered by amounts payable to the securityholders from amounts available under a credit enhancement mechanism, could result in losses to securityholders.
 
Other Limitations
 
In addition to the laws limiting or prohibiting deficiency judgments, numerous other statutory provisions, including the Bankruptcy Code and similar state laws, may interfere with or affect the ability of a secured party to realize upon collateral or to enforce a deficiency judgment. For example, if an obligor commences bankruptcy proceedings, a bankruptcy court may prevent a creditor from repossessing a vehicle, and, as part of the rehabilitation plan, reduce the amount of the secured indebtedness to the market value of the vehicle at the time of filing of the bankruptcy petition, as determined by the bankruptcy court, leaving the creditor as a general unsecured creditor for the remainder of the indebtedness. A bankruptcy court may also reduce the monthly payments due under a receivable or change the rate of interest and time of repayment of the receivable. Additional information about legal or regulatory provisions of particular jurisdictions may be presented in the prospectus supplement if a material concentration of receivables exists in those jurisdictions.
 
Any shortfalls or losses arising in connection with the matters described above, to the extent not covered by amounts payable to the securityholders from amounts available under a credit enhancement mechanism, could result in losses to securityholders.
 
MATERIAL INSOLVENCY ASPECTS OF THE OFFERING
 
Potentially Applicable Insolvency Regimes
 
Three different legal regimes for the resolution or reorganization of insolvent companies could be applicable to the entities involved in an offering of securities:
 
 
The Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDIA”) provides that the FDIC can be appointed as the receiver or conservator for an insured depository institution that becomes insolvent or is in an unsound condition. Thus, if these circumstances occur with respect to Huntington, the FDIC could be appointed as receiver (which term, as used herein with respect to the FDIA, should be

 
49

 


   
understood also to encompass the role of conservator).  This could affect Huntington as originator and as servicer.
 
 
The Bankruptcy Code is available for any “person” that is eligible to be a “debtor” pursuant to Section 109 of the Bankruptcy Code. Huntington would not be eligible to be a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code, but each of Huntington Bancshares and the depositor would be eligible debtors. Although there is some question as to whether an issuing entity that is a statutory trust would qualify as a “person” under the Bankruptcy Code, you should assume that an issuing entity that is a statutory trust would be eligible to be a debtor in a bankruptcy case.
 
 
Title II of the Dodd-Frank Act creates an Orderly Liquidation Authority or OLA pursuant to which the FDIC is authorized to act as receiver of a “covered subsidiary” and, under certain circumstances, its subsidiaries, except that insolvencies of insured depository institutions will continue to be governed by the FDIA. For a company to be classified as a covered subsidiary, the Secretary of the Treasury must make several determinations, including that the company is in default or in danger of default and that the failure of the company and its resolution under the Bankruptcy Code would have serious adverse effects on financial stability in the United States. We cannot predict whether, if Huntington Bancshares were in default or in danger of default, it would be classified as a covered subsidiary. If Huntington Bancshares were so classified, then the depositor or an issuing entity could, under the circumstances specified in the Dodd-Frank Act, also be subject to FDIC receivership under OLA as a covered subsidiary.  However, any receivership of The Huntington National Bank would not be governed by OLA but would be governed by the receivership and conservatorship provisions of the FDIA.
 
Certain Insolvency Considerations Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act
 
Statutory Repudiation Authority.  If Huntington were to become insolvent or to violate applicable regulations or if other similar circumstances were to occur, the FDIC could be appointed receiver or conservator of Huntington. As receiver or conservator, the FDIC would have various powers under the FDIA, as amended by the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 (“FIRREA”).  This would include the power to repudiate any contract to which Huntington was a party if the FDIC determined that performance of the contract was burdensome and that repudiation of such contract would promote the orderly administration of Huntington’s affairs. Among the contracts that might be repudiated are the asset purchase agreement between Huntington as seller and the depositor, the sale and servicing agreement among Huntington as servicer, the depositor and the applicable issuing entity and other transaction documents to which Huntington is a party.
 
In order to safeguard the FCIC’s practical abilities to exercise its repudiation power, the FDIA includes a requirement for certain counterparties to obtain the FDIC’s consent when taking certain actions.  The FDIC’s repudiation power would enable the FDIC to repudiate Huntington’s obligations as servicer or administrator and any ongoing repurchase or indemnity obligations under the asset transfer agreement between Huntington and the depositor relating to the receivables backing your securities but would not empower the FDIC to repudiate transfers of receivables made under such receivables purchase agreement prior to the appointment of the receiver or conservator. However, if those transfers were not respected as legal true sales, then the depositor under the asset purchase agreement would be treated as having made a loan to Huntington, secured by the transferred receivables. The FDIC ordinarily has the power to repudiate secured loans and then recover the collateral after paying damages (as described further below) to the creditors.
 
In the event that the FDIC repudiates a transfer, the amount of compensation that the FDIC is required to pay is limited to “actual compensatory damages” determined as of the date of the FDIC’s appointment as conservator or receiver. Applicable law does not define “actual direct compensatory damages”, but the term does not include damages for lost profits or opportunity.  The staff of the FDIC takes the position that such damages would not include interest accrued to the date of actual repudiation or disaffirmation.  Under the FDIC’s interpretation, securityholders would receive interest only through the date on which the FDIC is appointed conservator or receiver of Huntington.  Since the indenture trustee would be subject to a stay of up to 90 days following the FDIC’s appointment as conservator or receiver, securityholders may not receive the full amount of interest owing to them.
 

 
50

 

In addition, there is one reported federal district court decision that construes the term “actual direct compensatory damages.”  This 1993 court case construed the term, in the context of the repudiation of zero coupon bonds, to mean the fair market value of the bonds as of the date of repudiation.  Under neither interpretation, however, would investors be compensated for the period between the appointment of the receiver and the date of repudiation.
 
Also, none of the parties to the transaction documents with Huntington would be prohibited from terminating, accelerating, or declaring a default under those contracts, or otherwise affect Huntington’s rights under those contracts, without the FDIC’s consent, for 90 days after the receiver is appointed or 45 days after the conservator is appointed, as applicable. During the same period, the FDIC’s consent would also be needed for any attempt to obtain possession of or exercise control over any property of Huntington. The requirement to obtain the FDIC’s consent before taking these actions relating to a bank’s contracts or property is analogous to, and is sometimes referred to as, an “automatic stay.”
 
The FDIC has recently amended its regulation entitled “Treatment of financial assets transferred in connection with a securitization or participation”, which is codified at 12 C.F.R. 360.6 (“FDIC Safe Harbor Rule”).  The FDIC Safe Harbor Rule provides additional guidance with respect to certain of the matters described above, as described below under “— FDIC Safe Harbor Rule.”
 
We intend to structure the transfers of receivables under the receivables purchase agreement between Huntington and the applicable purchaser with the intent that they would be characterized as legal true sales under applicable state law. If the transfers are so characterized, then the FDIC would not be able to recover the transferred receivables using its repudiation power even if your transaction does not satisfy the terms of the then FDIC Safe Harbor Rule discussed below.  However, complying with the FDIC Safe Harbor Rule would provide additional assurance that the FDIC would not seek to recover the transferred receivables using its repudiation power, as well as providing additional assurance that the automatic stay would not interfere with normal servicing and contractual payments relating to your securities.
 
FDIC Consent Right
 
Other Statutory Powers of the FDIC.  In a receivership or conservatorship of Huntington the FDIC as receiver or conservator could, regardless of whether the FDIC Safe Harbor Rule would apply to any transaction or whether the related transfer of receivables from Huntington would be respected as a legal true sale, take one or more of the following actions:
 
 
require the issuing entity, as assignee of the related purchaser, to go through an administrative claims procedure to establish its rights to payments collected on the receivables; or
 
 
request a stay of proceedings to liquidate claims or otherwise enforce contractual and legal remedies against Huntington; or
 
 
repudiate without compensation Huntington’s ongoing servicing obligations under a servicing agreement, such as its duty to collect and remit payments or otherwise service the receivables; or
 
 
prior to any such repudiation of a servicing agreement, prevent any of the indenture trustee or the securityholders from appointing a successor servicer; or
 
 
argue that the automatic stay prevents the indenture trustee and other transaction parties from exercising their rights, remedies and interests for up to 90 days.
 
There are also statutory prohibitions on (1) any attachment or execution being issued by any court upon assets in the possession of the FDIC, as conservator or receiver, and (2) any property in the possession of the FDIC, as conservator or receiver, being subject to levy, attachment, garnishment, foreclosure or sale without the consent of the FDIC.
 

 
51

 

If the FDIC, as conservator or receiver for Huntington, were to take any of the actions described above or certain actions as described below under “—FDIC Safe Harbor Rule”, payments and/or distributions of principal and interest on the securities issued by the issuing entity could be delayed or reduced.
 
FDIC Safe Harbor Rule.  If the transfer of receivables in a transaction satisfied the requirements of the FDIC Safe Harbor Rule, then the FDIC, as conservator or receiver of Huntington, would not seek to treat the receivables and collections as Huntington’s property or property of the conservatorship or receivership of Huntington.
 
The preconditions imposed by the FDIC Safe Harbor Rule include provisions that are required to be contained in the documentation and disclosure for the securitization. These provisions limit the structural features of the transaction in specified ways and impose obligations on one or more of the issuing entity and the depositor (which entities are jointly considered to be the “issuing entity” for purposes of the FDIC Safe Harbor Rule), the servicer and the sponsor to make specified disclosures, provide ongoing reporting on specified items and define specified aspects of the relationships among the parties.
 
If one or more of these preconditions are not met, the limitations imposed by the FDIC Safe Harbor Rule on the FDIC’s powers would not apply.  Although we intend to structure each securitization transaction described in a prospectus supplement to comply in all material respects with the FDIC Safe Harbor Rule, the application of the FDIC Safe Harbor Rule to a transaction is subject to several ambiguities and untested interpretive issues, and there can be no assurance that a transaction would satisfy all of the requirements to qualify for such safe harbor despite good faith efforts to comply.  If the safe harbor provided by the FDIC Safe Harbor Rule does not apply the rights of the FDIC with respect to the securitization in the event of a receivership or conservatorship will be governed by the FDIA, as well as applicable law governing sales of assets.
 
The FDIC Safe Harbor Rule contains distinct limitations on the FDIC’s power and remedies for transferees of receivables depending on whether or not a securitization transaction satisfies the requirements for sale accounting treatment under generally accepted accounting principles.  Unless otherwise stated in the prospectus supplement with respect to your securities, we will not know whether or not the transfer of the receivables backing your securities will be treated as a sale under generally accepted accounting principles until very shortly before you purchase your securities.  As a consequence, the scope and limitations of the FDIC’s powers that will apply to a transaction under the FDIC Safe Harbor Rules will not be known before the time that you acquire your securities.
 
Treatment of transaction accounted for as a sale.  For a transaction that satisfies the substantive requirements of the FDIC Safe Harbor Rule and that meets sale accounting requirements, the FDIC Safe Harbor Rule provides that the FDIC as conservator or receiver shall not, in the exercise of its statutory authority to disaffirm or repudiate contracts, reclaim, recover, or recharacterize as property of the institution or the receivership such transferred financial assets.
 
Treatment of transaction accounted for as a financing.  For a qualifying transaction that does not meet sale accounting requirements, if the FDIC is appointed as conservator or receiver for an insured depository institution that transferred assets to the issuing entity in an on-balance sheet securitization, the FDIC will succeed to the obligations of the depository institution in each of its capacities in the transaction.  The FDIC than has a choice of whether or not to pay or apply collections from the financial assets in accordance with the applicable securitization documents.  If the FDIC chose not to pay or apply the collections, it would be in monetary default, and the issuing entity for that securitization, at the direction of the applicable indenture trustee or other person authorized by the transaction documents would be entitled to deliver a notice to the FDIC requesting the exercise of contractual rights under the transaction documents because of the FDIC’s monetary default.  If the FDIC did not cure the monetary default within ten business days, then the FDIC would be deemed to have consented to the exercise of those contractual rights.  However, the FDIC is not required to take any action other than providing consents, waivers and execution of transfer documents.
 
Under the FDIC Safe Harbor Rule, if the FDIC exercised its repudiation power with respect to on-balance sheet transfers of receivables the FDIC would have the choice either (i) to pay damages within ten business days or (ii) to permit the exercise of contractual rights in accordance with the documents governing such securitization, including but not limited to taking possession of the financial assets and exercising self-help remedies as a secured
 

 
52

 

creditor under the transfer agreements, provided that no involvement of the receiver or conservator is required other than such consents, waivers, or execution of transfer documents as may be reasonably requested in the ordinary course of business in order to facilitate the exercise of such contractual rights.  For purposes of clause (i) above, the damages due shall be in an amount equal to the par value of the obligations outstanding on the date of appointment of the FDIC as conservator or receiver, less any payments of principal received by the investors through the date of repudiation, plus unpaid, accrued interest through the date of repudiation in accordance with the contract documents to the extent actually received through payments on the financial assets received through the date of repudiation.
 
Prior to repudiation or, in the case of a monetary default referred to above, the FDIC Safe Harbor Rule provides that the FDIC as conservator or receiver is deemed to consent to the making by the servicer of the payments to the investors to the extent actually received through payments on the financial assets (but in the case of repudiation, only to the extent supported by payments on the financial assets received through the date of the giving of notice of repudiation) in accordance with the securitization documents, and, subject to the FDIC's rights to repudiate such agreements, consents to any servicing activity required in furtherance of the securitization or, if acting as servicer the FDIC as receiver or conservator shall perform such servicing activities in accordance with the terms of the applicable servicing agreements, with respect to the financial assets included in securitizations that meet the requirements of the FDIC Safe Harbor Rule applicable to that securitization.
 
Certain Insolvency Considerations Under the Bankruptcy Code
 
It is possible that the depositor or the issuing entity (each, a “special purpose entity”) could become a debtor in a voluntary or involuntary case under the Bankruptcy Code or state insolvency regimes.  The bankruptcy trustee or debtor-in-possession in such a bankruptcy case could seek to take a variety of actions, which could include for example any one or more of the following:
 
 
reject the executory obligations of the debtor under the transaction documents;
 
 
enforce the “automatic stay” to prevent creditors from exercising remedies against a debtor;
 
 
effect a substitution of collateral in certain circumstances;
 
 
assert that the issuing entity does not have a perfected security interest in (a) the receivables, (b) one or more of the vehicles securing the receivables or (c) any cash collections held by the servicer at the time the servicer becomes the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding;
 
 
exercise other equitable and other powers to order substantive consolidation of assets and liabilities.
 
The transaction documents contain provisions, and each special purpose entity has taken steps in structuring the transactions contemplated by this prospectus and the prospectus supplement for a series, that are intended to make it unlikely in the case of either (a) a receivership of Huntington under the FDIA or (b) a voluntary or involuntary case in which a special purpose entity was the debtor under the Bankruptcy Code or similar applicable state laws, that a court would approve consolidation of the assets and liabilities of a special purpose entity with those of Huntington. These steps include the creation of each special purpose entity under its respective formation documents as a limited-purpose entity that is subject to restrictions on the nature of the business of each special purpose entity and a restriction on the ability of each special purpose entity to commence a voluntary case or proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or similar proceeding under applicable state laws without, in the case of the depositor, the unanimous affirmative vote of its member and all of its directors (including all independent directors) or, in the case of the issuing entity, the approval of the owner trustee or independent managing member.  The depositor is required to have at least one director who qualifies under its limited liability agreement as an “Independent Director.” In the case of an issuing entity that is a statutory trust, the issuing entity may be ineligible to be a debtor in a bankruptcy case.  There can be no assurance that the measures described herein will be effective to prevent any special purpose entity from being subject to a bankruptcy case or to an FDIC receivership under OLA, as described below under “— Certain Insolvency Considerations Under the Dodd-Frank Act orderly Liquidation Authority Provisions.”
 

 
53

 

In addition, the transaction documents contain covenants pursuant to which the indenture trustee, the sponsor and other parties agree not to acquiesce, petition, invoke or otherwise cause the depositor or an issuing entity to be subject to a case under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding before the date that is one year and one day after the repayment of all securities. Similarly, the transaction documents contain covenants pursuant to which the indenture trustee, the servicer and the sponsor agree not to acquiesce, petition, invoke or otherwise cause the issuing entity to be subject to a case under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding before the date that is one year and one day after the repayment of all securities.  There can be no assurance, however, that the depositor or any issuing entity will not become insolvent and file a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any similar applicable state law or that Huntington will not become subject to a conservatorship or receivership.
 
The voluntary or involuntary petition for relief under the Bankruptcy Code or any similar applicable state law or the establishment of a conservatorship or receivership, as may be applicable, with respect to any originator that is subject to the Bankruptcy Code should not necessarily result in a similar voluntary application with respect to the depositor so long as the depositor is solvent and does not reasonably foresee becoming insolvent either by reason of that originator’s insolvency or otherwise. The depositor has taken certain steps in structuring the transactions contemplated hereby that are intended to make it unlikely that any voluntary or involuntary petition for relief by any originator under applicable insolvency laws will result in the consolidation pursuant to such insolvency laws or the establishment of a conservatorship or receivership, of the assets and liabilities of the depositor with those of that originator. These steps include the organization of the depositor as a limited purpose entity pursuant to its limited liability company agreement containing certain limitations (including restrictions on the limited nature of depositor’s business and on its ability to commence a voluntary case or proceeding under any insolvency law without an affirmative vote of all of its directors, including independent directors).
 
The depositor and each issuing entity have been established in such a way as to make it unlikely that the assets and liabilities of the depositor would be substantively consolidated with the assets and liabilities of that issuing entity or any originator in the event of a petition for relief under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to that originator.  If, however, a bankruptcy court for that originator or a creditor of that originator were to take the view that any originator and the depositor should be substantively consolidated or that the transfer of the receivables from that originator to the depositor should be recharacterized as a pledge of such receivables, then you may experience delays and/or shortfalls in payments on the securities.
 
The transfer of receivables from the has been structured in such a way as to support a characterization as an absolute transfer, and, therefore, such receivables would not be property of that originator in the event of the filing of an application for relief by or against any originator under the Bankruptcy Code or, in the case of an originator that is subject to regulation by the FDIC, the receivables will either be subject to a valid, perfected security interest that will not be subject to avoidance by the FDIC or will satisfy the requirements of the FDIC pursuant to which the FDIC, as conservator or receiver, would not seek to treat the receivables and collections thereon as that originator’s property or property of the conservatorship or receivership. See “ — Certain Insolvency Considerations Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act” in this prospectus
 
Certain Insolvency Considerations Under the Dodd-Frank Act Orderly Liquidation Authority Provisions
 
General.  Title II of the Dodd-Frank Act, which establishes the OLA, authorizes the FDIC to act as receiver of certain bank holding companies and covered subsidiaries and their respective subsidiaries in specific situations. The proceedings, standards, powers of the receiver and many substantive provisions of the OLA differ from those of the Bankruptcy Code in several respects. In addition, because the legislation remains subject to clarification through FDIC regulations and has yet to be applied by the FDIC in any receivership, it is unclear what impact these provisions will have on any particular company, including Huntington Bancshares, the depositor, any issuing entity or any of their respective creditors.
 
Potential Applicability to the Depositor and an Issuing Entity.  Depository institutions subject to receivership under the FDIA are not eligible to be covered subsidiaries under OLA.  However, there is uncertainty about which other types of companies would be subject to the OLA rather than the United States Bankruptcy Code. For a company to become subject to the OLA, the Secretary of the Treasury (in consultation with the President of the United States) must determine, among other things, that such company is in default or in danger of default, that
 

 
54

 

the company’s failure and its resolution under the Bankruptcy Code “would have serious adverse effects on financial stability in the United States,” that no viable private sector alternative is available to prevent the default of the company and an OLA proceeding would mitigate these adverse effects.
 
Under certain circumstances, the applicable issuing entity or the depositor could be subject to the provisions of the OLA as a “covered subsidiary” of Huntington Bancshares. For an issuing entity or the depositor to be subject to receivership under the OLA as a “covered subsidiary” of Huntington Bancshares (1) the FDIC would have to be appointed as receiver for Huntington Bancshares under the OLA as described above, (2) the FDIC and the Secretary of the Treasury would have to jointly determine that (a) such issuing entity or the depositor, as applicable, is in default or in danger of default, (b) appointment of the FDIC as receiver of the covered subsidiary would avoid or mitigate serious adverse effects on the financial stability or economic conditions of the United States and (c) such appointment would facilitate the orderly liquidation of Huntington Bancshares.  Because of the novelty of the Dodd-Frank Act and the OLA provisions, the uncertainty of the Secretary of the Treasury’s determination and the fact that such determination would be made in the future under potentially different circumstances, no assurance can be given that the OLA provisions would not apply to a particular issuing entity or the depositor or, if it were to apply, that the timing and amounts of payments to the related series of securityholders would not be less favorable than under the Bankruptcy Code.
 
FDIC’s Repudiation Power Under the OLA. If the FDIC were appointed receiver of Huntington Bancshares or of a covered subsidiary, including the applicable issuing entity or the depositor, under the OLA, the FDIC would have various powers under the OLA, including the power to repudiate any contract to which Huntington Bancshares or such covered subsidiary was a party, if the FDIC determined that performance of the contract was burdensome to the estate and that repudiation would promote the orderly administration of Huntington Bancshares’s or such covered subsidiary’s affairs, as applicable.  Generally speaking, the FDIC’s repudiation power with respect to covered subsidiaries under the OLA would be similar to that of the FDIC in receiverships of insured depository institutions, as described above under “—Certain Insolvency Considerations Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act—Statutory Repudiation Authority.”
 
In January 2011, the Acting General Counsel of the FDIC issued an advisory opinion confirming, among other things, its intended application of the FDIC’s repudiation power under OLA. In that advisory opinion, the Acting General Counsel stated that nothing in the Dodd-Frank Act changes the existing law governing the separate existence of separate entities under other applicable law. As a result, the Acting General Counsel was of the opinion that the FDIC as receiver for a covered subsidiary, which could include Huntington Bancshares or its subsidiaries (including the depositor or the applicable issuing entity), cannot repudiate a contract or lease unless it has been appointed as receiver for that entity or the separate existence of that entity may be disregarded under other applicable law. In addition, the Acting General Counsel was of the opinion that until such time as the FDIC Board of Directors adopts a regulation further addressing the application of Section 210(c) of the Dodd-Frank Act, if the FDIC were to become receiver for a covered subsidiary, which could include Huntington Bancshares or its non-depository institution subsidiaries (including the depositor or the applicable issuing entity), the FDIC will not, in the exercise of its authority under Section 210(c) of the Dodd-Frank Act, reclaim, recover, or recharacterize as property of that covered subsidiary or the receivership any asset transferred by that covered subsidiary prior to the end of the applicable transition period of a regulation provided that such transfer satisfies the conditions for the exclusion of such assets from the property of the estate of that covered subsidiary under the Bankruptcy Code.  Although this advisory opinion does not bind the FDIC or its Board of Directors, and could be modified or withdrawn in the future, the advisory opinion also states that the Acting General Counsel will recommend that the FDIC Board of Directors incorporate a transition period of 90 days for any provisions in any further regulations affecting the statutory power to disaffirm or repudiate contracts. The advisory opinion also states that the FDIC anticipates recommending consideration of future regulations related to the Dodd-Frank Act. To the extent any future regulations or subsequent FDIC actions in an OLA proceeding involving the depositor or your issuing entity), are contrary to this advisory opinion, payment or distributions of principal and interest on the securities issued by the applicable issuing entity would be delayed and could be reduced.
 
We intend to structure the transfers of receivables from the depositor to each applicable issuing entity with the intent that they would be characterized as legal true sales under applicable state law and that the related receivables would not be included in the transferor’s bankruptcy estate under the Bankruptcy Code. If the transfers are so characterized, based on the Acting General Counsel of the FDIC’s advisory opinion rendered in January 2011
 

 
55

 

and other applicable law, the FDIC would not be able to recover the transferred receivables using its repudiation power under OLA.
 
If an issuing entity were placed in receivership under OLA as a covered subsidiary of Huntington Bancshares, and the FDIC were to repudiate the transfer of assets backing the securities issued by the issuing entity, the FDIC would be liable for compensatory damages. The damages would be no greater than the principal balance of the securities plus accrued interest as of the date the FDIC was appointed receiver plus, to the extent of the amount by which value of the property that secured the securities exceeds the principal amount of the securities and accrued interest through the date of repudiation or disaffirmance, for the additional accrued interest to the date of repudiation or disaffirmance. However, creditors of the issuing entity in such a situation would not be entitled to receive more than the amount that would have been payable to such creditors if the issuing entity had instead been liquidated under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.
 
FDIC’s Avoidance Power Under the OLA. Under statutory provisions of the OLA similar to those of the United States Bankruptcy Code, the FDIC could avoid transfers of receivables that are deemed “preferential.” Under one potential interpretation of these provisions, the FDIC could avoid as a preference transfers of receivables evidenced by certain written contracts and perfected by the filing of a UCC financing statement against Huntington, the depositor and the applicable issuing entity, as applicable, unless the contracts were physically delivered to the transferee or its custodian or were marked in a manner legally sufficient to indicate the rights of the indenture trustee. If a transfer of receivables were avoided as preferential, the transferee would have only an unsecured claim in the receivership for the purchase price of such receivables.
 
However, in December 2010, the Acting General Counsel of the FDIC issued an advisory opinion to the effect that the preference provisions of the OLA should be interpreted in a manner consistent with the United States Bankruptcy Code. On July 6, 2011, the FDIC issued a final rule that, among other things, codified the Acting General Counsel’s interpretation. Based on the final rule, a transfer of the receivables perfected by the filing of a UCC financing statement against Huntington, the depositor and the applicable issuing entity as provided in the applicable transfer agreement and sale and servicing agreement would not be avoidable by the FDIC as a preference under OLA due to any inconsistency between OLA and the Bankruptcy Code in defining when a transfer has occurred under the preferential transfer provisions of OLA. To the extent subsequent FDIC actions in an OLA proceeding are contrary to the final rule, or the final rule is repealed or amended, payment or distributions of principal and interest on the securities issued by the applicable issuing entity could be delayed or reduced.
 
MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
 
Set forth below is a discussion of the material United States federal income tax consequences relevant to the purchase, ownership and disposition of the notes and the certificates of any series. This discussion is based upon current provisions of the Code, existing and proposed Treasury regulations thereunder, current administrative rulings, judicial decisions and other applicable authorities. To the extent that the following summary relates to matters of law or legal conclusions with respect thereto, such summary represents the opinion of Shearman & Sterling LLP, Special Tax Counsel, subject to the qualifications set forth in this section. There are no cases or Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) rulings on similar transactions involving both debt and equity interests issued by an entity with terms similar to those of the notes and the certificates of each series. As a result, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge the treatment described in this prospectus, and no ruling from the IRS has been or will be sought on any of the issues discussed below. Furthermore, legislative, judicial or administrative changes may occur, perhaps with retroactive effect, which could affect the accuracy of the statements and conclusions set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement as well as the United States federal income tax consequences to noteholders and certificateholders.
 
Special Tax Counsel will deliver tax opinions with respect to each series of notes or certificates to be issued by the issuing entities. Special Tax Counsel’s tax opinions will be based on analysis of the substance of the transactions contemplated in the applicable prospectus supplement (subject to certain customary conditions, assumptions, qualifications and caveats) and are expected to provide that although no transaction closely comparable to the transactions contemplated in the prospectus supplement has been the subject of any Treasury regulation, administrative ruling or judicial decision, Special Tax Counsel is of the opinion that, for United States federal income tax purposes:
 

 
56

 


 
 
1.
the issuer of each series of notes or certificates will not be classified as an association or as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes; and
 
 
2.
the notes issued by the issuer of each series will be characterized as debt for United States federal income tax purposes.
 
The opinions of Special Tax Counsel will not be binding on the IRS or the courts, and no ruling on any of the issues discussed below will be sought from the IRS. Moreover, there are no authorities on similar transactions involving interests issued by an entity with terms similar to those of the notes or to those of the certificates. If, contrary to the opinion of Special Tax Counsel, the IRS successfully asserted that the notes did not represent debt for United States federal income tax purposes, the notes might be treated as equity interests in the issuer or another entity for United States federal income tax purposes. If so treated, investors could be treated for United States federal income tax purposes either as partners in a partnership or, alternatively, as shareholders in a taxable corporation.
 
Treatment of holders of notes as partners in a partnership could have adverse tax consequences to such holders.  For example, income to holders of notes that were non-United States persons generally would be subject to United States federal income tax, United States federal income tax return filing requirements and United States federal withholding requirements.  In addition, holders of notes might be subject to some limitations on their ability to deduct their shares of partnership expenses.
 
If the notes were treated as corporate stock, the issuer, as a taxable corporation, would not be able to reduce its taxable income by deductions for interest expense on the notes that were recharacterized as dividends, and any corporate tax imposed with respect to the taxable corporation could materially reduce cash available to make payments on the notes.
 
Prospective investors should consult with their own tax advisors with regard to the consequences of each possible alternative characterization to them in their particular circumstances. The following discussion assumes that the characterizations of the notes, the certificates and any issuer of notes or certificates are correct.
 
To the extent any given series of notes or certificates, or the form of any issuing entity, differs from the assumptions or conditions set forth in the following discussion or changes occur in the relevant tax laws, or in their application, any additional United States federal income tax consequences will be disclosed in the applicable prospectus supplement and legal conclusions will be provided in an opinion of Special Tax Counsel filed with the SEC on form 8-K.
 
The following discussion does not purport to deal with all aspects of United States federal income taxation that may be relevant to the noteholders and certificateholders in light of their personal investment circumstances nor, except for limited discussions of particular topics, to holders subject to special treatment under the United States federal income tax laws, including:
 
 
banks, insurance companies, trusts and financial institutions;
 
 
broker-dealers;
 
 
life insurance companies;
 
 
tax-exempt organizations;
 
 
persons that hold the notes or certificates as a position in a “straddle” or as part of a synthetic security or “hedge,” “conversion transaction” or other integrated investment;
 
 
persons that have a “functional currency” other than the United States dollar;
 


 
57

 


 
United States expatriates;
 
 
traders that elect mark-to-market; and
 
 
persons liable for the alternative minimum tax.
 
The tax treatment of a partner in a partnership or other entity taxable as a partnership that holds notes or certificates generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partners in a partnership that holds notes or certificates should consult their own tax advisors.
 
This discussion also does not address the tax consequences of holding notes or certificates under state, local or non-United States law. Prospective investors should consult with their tax advisors as to the United States federal, state, local, foreign and any other tax consequences to them of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the notes or the certificates.
 
This information is directed to prospective purchasers who purchase notes at their issue price in the initial distribution thereof and who hold the notes or certificates as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. The following discussion addresses notes, other than Strip Notes or any other series of notes specifically identified as receiving different tax treatment in the applicable prospectus supplement, which the depositor, the servicer and the noteholders will agree to treat as indebtedness secured by the receivables. The following discussion also addresses certificates, which the depositor, the servicer and the applicable certificate holders will agree to treat as equity interests in each issuer or the underlying receivables.
 
United States Federal Income Tax Consequences to United States Holders
 
A “United States Holder” means a beneficial owner of notes or certificates that is any of the following for United States federal income tax purposes:
 
 
an individual citizen or resident of the United States;
 
 
a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia;
 
 
an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source; or
 
 
a trust if (1) its administration is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all of its substantial decisions or (2) it has a valid election in effect under applicable United States Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.
     
Notes
 
Characterization as Debt.  For each series of notes offered under a prospectus supplement, except for Strip Notes and any series which is specifically identified as receiving different tax treatment in the applicable prospectus supplement, upon the issuance of such series of notes, Special Tax Counsel will deliver a tax opinion that the notes will be treated as debt for United States federal income tax purposes. The depositor, the servicer and each noteholder, by acquiring an interest in a note, will agree to treat the notes as indebtedness for United States federal income tax purposes.
 
Payments of Interest.  Interest on a note held by a United States Holder will be taxable as ordinary income when received or accrued in accordance with such United States Holder’s regular method of tax accounting.
 
Original Issue Discount.  Except to the extent indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, no series of notes will be issued with OID. In general, OID is the excess of the stated redemption price at maturity of a debt instrument over its issue price, unless that excess falls within a statutorily defined de minimis exception. A note’s stated redemption price at maturity is the aggregate of all payments required to be made on the note through
 

 
58

 

maturity except qualified stated interest. Qualified stated interest is generally interest that is unconditionally payable in cash or property, other than in debt instruments of the issuing entity, at fixed intervals of one year or less during the entire term of the instrument at specified rates. The issue price will be the first price at which a substantial amount of the notes are sold, excluding sales to bond holders, brokers or similar persons acting as underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers.
 
If a note were treated as being issued with OID, a United States Holder holding such a note would be required to include OID in income as interest over the term of the note under a constant yield method. In general, OID must be included in income in advance of the receipt of cash representing that income. Thus, each cash distribution would be treated as an amount already included in income, to the extent OID has accrued as of the date of the interest distribution and is not allocated to prior distributions, or as a repayment of principal. This treatment would have no significant effect on a United States Holder using the accrual method of accounting. However, cash method United States Holders that hold notes may be required to report income on the notes in advance of the receipt of cash attributable to that income. Even if a note has OID falling within the de minimis exception, the United States Holder must include that OID in income proportionately as principal payments are made on that note.
 
United States Holders of Short-Term Notes will be subject to special OID rules with respect to such Short-Term Notes. A cash method United States Holder of a Short-Term Note will generally not be required to include OID on the Short-Term Note in income as it accrues. Instead, a cash method United States Holder of a Short-Term Note would include the OID accrued on such a note in gross income upon a sale or exchange of the note or at maturity, or if the note is payable in installments, as principal is paid thereon. A cash method United States Holder of a Short-Term Note would be required to defer deductions for any interest expense on an obligation incurred to purchase or carry the note to the extent it exceeds the sum of the interest income, if any, and OID accrued on the note. However, a cash method United States Holder may elect to include OID in income as it accrues on a Short-Term Note in that taxable year or thereafter, in which case the deferral rule of the preceding sentence will not apply. An accrual method United States Holder of a Short-Term Note will be required to include OID in income as it accrues. For purposes of this paragraph, OID accrues on a Short-Term Note on a ratable, straight-line basis, unless the holder irrevocably elects, under regulations to be issued by the Treasury Department, to apply a constant interest method to such obligation, using the holder’s yield to maturity and daily compounding.
 
Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of a Note.  If a United States Holder sells, exchanges or otherwise disposes of a note, such United States Holder will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition (except for amounts attributable to accrued and unpaid interest, which are treated as interest income) and the United States Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the note. The adjusted tax basis of a note held by a United States Holder generally will equal such United States Holder’s cost for the note, decreased by any principal payments previously received on the note. Any gain or loss will generally be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the note was held by the United States Holder for more than one year. Long-term capital gain of non-corporate United States Holders (including individuals) may be eligible for reduced rates of taxation.  The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.
 
Certificates
 
Characterization of Trusts and Certificates.  For each series of certificates issued by a trust, Special Tax Counsel will deliver a tax opinion that each issuing trust will not be taxable as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation. For each series of certificates, the depositor and the United States Holders holding certificates will express in the trust agreement and on the certificates their intent that, for United States federal income tax purposes, the certificates will represent an equity interest in the trust.
 
Although Special Tax Counsel will opine that each issuing trust will not be classified as an association or as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes, there are no cases or IRS rulings on similar transactions and this opinion is not binding on the IRS or the courts and no assurance can be given that this characterization would prevail. If the IRS were to contend successfully that an issuing trust was an association taxable as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes, such issuing trust would be subject to United States federal income tax at corporate rates on the income from the receivables.
 

 
59

 

Payments to United States Holders.  For United States federal income tax purposes, each United States Holder holding a certificate will be required to report on its United States federal income tax return its pro rata share of the entire income from the receivables and any other property in the issuing trust for the period during which it owns such a certificate, including interest or finance charges earned on the receivables and any gain or loss upon collection or disposition of the receivables, in accordance with such United States Holder’s method of accounting. A United States Holder holding certificates and using the cash method of accounting will generally take into account its pro rata share of income as and when received by the owner trustee (or the independent manager, as applicable). A United States Holder holding certificates and using the accrual method of accounting will generally take into account its pro rata share of income as it accrues or is received by the owner trustee (or the independent manager, as applicable), whichever is earlier.
 
The portion of each payment to a United States Holder of a certificate that is allocable to principal on the receivables will represent a recovery of capital, which will reduce the tax basis of the such United States Holder’s undivided interest in the issuing trust. In computing its United States federal income tax liability, a United States Holder holding certificates would be entitled to deduct, consistent with its method of accounting, its pro rata share of interest paid on any notes, reasonable servicing fees, and other fees paid or incurred by the issuing trust.
 
Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Certificates.  If a United States Holder sells, exchanges or otherwise disposes of a certificate, such United States Holder will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition and the United States Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the certificate. The adjusted tax basis of a certificate held by a United States Holder generally will equal such United States Holder’s cost for the certificate, reduced by prior payments on the certificate allocable to principal. Any gain or loss will generally be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the certificate was held by the United States Holder for more than one year. Long-term capital gain of non-corporate United States Holders (including individuals) may be eligible for reduced rates of taxation.  The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.
 
If a United States Holder holding certificates is required to recognize an aggregate amount of income over the life of the certificates that exceeds the aggregate cash distributions, that excess will generally give rise to a capital loss upon the retirement of such certificates.
 
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding.  In general, information reporting requirements will apply to payments of principal and interest on a note, allocations of income on a certificate and payments of the proceeds of a sale, exchange or other disposition of a note or a certificate to United States Holders other than certain exempt recipients (such as corporations). In addition, backup withholding (currently at a rate of 28%) may apply to such payments if such a United States Holder fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number or otherwise fails to comply with applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a credit against the United States Holder’s United States federal income tax liability or refundable to the extent it exceeds such liability, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. A United States Holder who does not provide a correct taxpayer identification number may be subject to penalties imposed by the IRS.
 
3.8% Medicare Tax on “Net Investment Income”.  For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012, certain United States Holders, including individuals, estates and trusts, will be subject to an additional 3.8% Medicare tax on unearned income.  For individual United States Holders, the additional Medicare tax applies to the lesser of (i) “net investment income” or (ii) the excess of “modified adjusted gross income” over certain specified amounts.  “Net investment income” generally equals the taxpayer’s gross investment income reduced by the deductions that are allocable to such income.  Investment income generally includes passive income such as interest, dividends, annuities, royalties, rents and capital gains.  United States Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the implications of the additional Medicare tax resulting from an investment in the notes or certificates.
 
United States Federal Income Tax Consequences to Non-United States Holders
 
A “Non-United States Holder” means a beneficial owner of a note or a certificate that is not an entity taxable as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes and is not a United States Holder.  The
 

 
60

 

following discussion assumes that a certificate will not be characterized as an interest in an entity taxable as a partnership.
 
Notes
 
Payments of Interest.  Interest paid to or accrued by a Non-United States Holder on a note that is not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States by the Non-United States Holder generally will be “portfolio interest” and will not be subject to United States federal income tax and withholding tax, as long as the Non-United States Holder:
 
 
is not actually or constructively a 10% shareholder of the issuing entity of the note, including a holder of 10% of the applicable outstanding certificates, or a “controlled foreign corporation” with respect to which the issuing entity is a “related person” within the meaning of the Code; and
 
 
provides an appropriate statement on IRS Form W-8BEN signed under penalties of perjury, certifying that the beneficial owner of the note is a not a United States person.
 
If the interest were not portfolio interest, then the interest would be subject to United States federal income and withholding tax at a rate of 30% unless reduced or eliminated pursuant to an applicable tax treaty. If a Non-United States Holder is engaged in a trade or business in the United States, and interest on the note is effectively connected with the conduct of this trade or business, the Non-United States Holder will generally be subject to United States federal income tax on the interest in the same manner as a United States Holder (see “United States Federal Income Tax Consequences to United States Holders – Notes – Payments of Interest” above), unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise, except that the Non-United States Holder will be required to provide a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI in order to claim an exemption from withholding tax.  Non-United States Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to other United States federal tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of notes including the possible imposition of a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or a lower income tax treaty rate) on interest income effectively connected with the conduct of a United States trade or business if they are corporations.
 
Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of a Note
 
Any gain realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of a note by a Non-United States Holder generally will not be subject to United States federal income and withholding tax, provided that:
 
 
the gain is not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States by the non-United States Holder; and
 
 
in the case of an individual Non-United States Holder, such Non-United States Holder is not present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year and certain other conditions are met; otherwise, except as provided by an applicable income tax treaty, the gain, which may be offset by United States source capital losses, would be subject to a gross 30% tax.
 
If a Non-United States Holder is engaged in a trade or business in the United States, and capital gain realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of a note is effectively connected with the conduct of this trade or business, the Non-United States Holder will generally be subject to United States federal income tax on the capital gain in the same manner as a United States Holder (see “United States Federal Income Tax Consequences to United States Holders – Notes – Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of a Note” above), unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise, except that the Non-United States Holder will be required to provide a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI in order to claim an exemption from withholding tax. Non-United States Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to other United States federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of notes including the possible imposition of a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or a lower income tax treaty rate) on gain effectively connected with a United States trade or business if they are corporations.
 

 
61

 

Certificates
 
Payments to Non-United States Holders. Interest attributable to receivables which is received by a Non-United States Holder holding certificates will generally be considered “portfolio interest” and will not be subject to United States federal income tax or withholding tax imposed on those payments, provided that the requirements for the exemption for “portfolio interest” described above under “Notes—Payments of Interest” are satisfied.
 
If the interest were not portfolio interest, then the interest would be subject to United States federal income and withholding tax at a rate of 30% unless reduced or eliminated pursuant to an applicable tax treaty. If a Non-United States Holder is engaged in a trade or business in the United States, and interest on the certificate is effectively connected with the conduct of this trade or business, the Non-United States Holder will generally be subject to United States federal income tax on the interest in the same manner as a United States Holder (see “United States Federal Income Tax Consequences to United States Holders—Notes—Payments of Interest” above), unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise, except that the Non-United States Holder will be required to provide a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI in order to claim an exemption from withholding tax.  Non-United States Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to other United States federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of certificates including the possible imposition of a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or a lower income tax treaty rate) on interest income effectively connected with the conduct of a United States trade or business if they are corporations.
 
Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Certificates
 
A Non-United States Holder should not recognize gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes on the sale, exchange or other disposition of certificates, provided that such sale, exchange or other disposition satisfies the requirements described above under “Notes—Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of a Note.”
 
If a Non-United States Holder is engaged in a trade or business in the United States, and capital gain realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of a certificate is effectively connected with the conduct of this trade or business, the Non-United States Holder will generally be subject to United States federal income tax on the capital gain in the same manner as a United States Holder (see “United States Federal Income Tax Consequences to United States Holders—Certificates—Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Certificates” above), unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise, except that the Non-United States Holder will be required to provide a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI in order to claim an exemption from withholding tax. Non-United States Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to other United States federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of certificates including the possible imposition of a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or a lower income tax treaty rate) on gains effectively connected with a United States trade or business if they are corporations.
 
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
 
Unless a Non-United States Holder complies with certification procedures to establish that it is not a United States person, information returns may be filed with the IRS in connection with the proceeds from a sale, exchange or other disposition of the notes and certificates and the Non-United States Holder may be subject to backup withholding on payments on the notes and the certificates. Compliance with the certification procedures required to claim the exemption from withholding tax on interest described above will satisfy the certification requirements necessary to avoid the backup withholding tax as well. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a Non-United States Holder will be allowed as a credit against the Non-United States Holder’s United States federal income tax liability (if any) and may entitle the Non-United States Holder to a refund, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner.
 
Foreign Account Tax Compliance.  Non-United States Holders should be aware that United States tax legislation (“FATCA”) enacted in 2010 provides that, beginning on January 1, 2013, a 30% withholding tax will be imposed on certain payments in respect of debt obligations issued after March 18, 2012 (which could include interest in respect of notes and gross proceeds from the sale, exchange or other disposition of such notes) made to a foreign entity if such entity fails to satisfy certain new disclosure and reporting rules that in general require that (i) in
 

 
62

 

the case of a foreign financial entity, the entity identify and provide information in respect of financial accounts with such entity held (directly or indirectly) by United States persons and United States-owned foreign entities and (ii) in the case of a non-financial foreign entity, the entity identify and provide information in respect of substantial United States owners of such entity or certify that such entity does not have any substantial United States owners.
 
The IRS has released proposed regulations generally delaying the FATCA effective date for debt obligations to those issued after 2012, along with preliminary guidance indicating that FATCA withholding tax on interest will not be imposed with respect to payments made prior to January 1, 2014 and that FATCA withholding tax on gross proceeds will not be imposed with respect to payments made prior to January 1, 2015.  Various requirements and exceptions are provided under FATCA and additional requirements and exceptions may be provided in subsequent guidance.  Non-United States Holders that hold notes or certificates should consult their own tax advisors regarding the potential application and impact of FATCA based on their particular circumstances.
 
STATE AND LOCAL TAX CONSEQUENCES
 
The above discussion does not address the tax treatment of any Tax Trust, Tax Partnership, Tax Non-Entity, notes, certificates, noteholders, certificateholders or membership interest holders under any state or local tax laws. The activities to be undertaken by the servicer in servicing and collecting the receivables will take place throughout the United States and, therefore, many different tax regimes potentially apply to different portions of these transactions. Prospective investors are urged to consult with their tax advisors regarding the state and local tax treatment of any Tax Trust, Tax Partnership or Tax Non-Entity as well as any state and local tax considerations for them of purchasing, holding and disposing of notes, certificates or membership interests.
 
CERTAIN ERISA CONSIDERATIONS
 
Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code prohibit a pension, profit-sharing or other employee benefit plan, as well as individual retirement accounts, specific types of Keogh Plans, other plans covered by Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code and collective investment funds or insurance company general or separate accounts in which these plans and accounts are invested (we refer to each of these as a “Benefit Plan”) from engaging in specified transactions with persons that are “parties in interest” under ERISA or “disqualified persons” under the Internal Revenue Code with respect to that Benefit Plan. A violation of these “prohibited transaction” rules may result in an excise tax or other penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code for these persons or the fiduciaries of the Benefit Plan. In addition, Title I of ERISA also requires fiduciaries of a Benefit Plan subject to ERISA to make investments that are prudent, diversified and in accordance with the governing plan documents.
 
Exemptions Available to Debt Instruments
 
In addition, transactions involving the issuing entity might be deemed to constitute prohibited transactions under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code with respect to a Benefit Plan that purchased securities if assets of the issuing entity were deemed to be assets of the Benefit Plan. Under regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Labor (as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA, the “Plan Assets Regulation”), the assets of the issuing entity would be treated as plan assets of a Benefit Plan for the purposes of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code only if the Benefit Plan acquired an “equity interest” in the issuing entity and none of the exceptions contained in the plan assets regulation applied. An equity interest is defined under the plan assets regulation as an interest in an entity other than an instrument that is treated as indebtedness under applicable local law and that has no substantial equity features. It is likely that the certificates will be treated as an equity interest for these purposes. For additional information regarding the equity or debt treatment of notes, see “Certain ERISA Considerations in the applicable prospectus supplement.
 
Without regard to whether the notes are treated as an equity interest for these purposes, the acquisition or holding of notes by or on behalf of a Benefit Plan could be considered to give rise to a prohibited transaction if an originator, the servicer, the depositor, the issuing entity, an underwriter, the administrator, the owner trustee (or the independent manager, as applicable), the indenture trustee, the cap counterparty, the insurer or any of their respective affiliates is or becomes a party in interest or a disqualified person with respect to that Benefit Plan. Exemptions from the prohibited transaction rules could apply to the purchase and holding of the notes by a Benefit
 

 
63

 

Plan depending on the type and circumstances of the plan fiduciary making the decision to acquire the notes. These exemptions include: Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 96-23, regarding transactions effected by “in-house asset managers;” PTCE 95-60 (as amended by PTCE 2002-13), regarding investments by insurance company general accounts; PTCE 91-38 (as amended by PTCE 2002-13), regarding investments by bank collective investment funds; PTCE 90-1, regarding investments by insurance company pooled separate accounts; and PTCE 84-14 (as amended by PTCE 2002-13), regarding transactions effected by “qualified professional asset managers”. In addition to the class exemptions listed above, the Pension Protection Act of 2006 provides a statutory exemption under Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Internal Revenue Code for prohibited transactions between a Benefit Plan and a person or entity that is a party in interest to such Benefit Plan solely by reason of providing services to the Benefit Plan (other than a party in interest that is a fiduciary, or its affiliate, that has or exercises discretionary authority or control or renders investment advice with respect to the assets of the Benefit Plan involved in the transaction), provided that there is adequate consideration for the transaction. Even if the conditions specified in one or more of these exemptions are met, the scope of the relief provided by these exemptions might or might not cover all acts which might be construed as prohibited transactions. There can be no assurance that any of these, or any other exemption, will be available with respect to any particular transaction involving the notes and prospective purchasers that are Benefit Plans should consult with their advisors regarding the applicability of any such exemption.
 
Governmental plans (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA) are not subject to Title I of ERISA, and are also not subject to the prohibited transaction provisions under Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code. However, state or local laws or regulations governing the investment and management of the assets of such plans may contain fiduciary and prohibited transaction requirements similar to those under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code discussed above and may include other limitations on permissible investments. Accordingly, fiduciaries of governmental plans, in consultation with their advisors, should consider the requirements of their respective pension codes with respect to investments in the notes, as well as general fiduciary considerations.
 
By acquiring a note, each purchaser or transferee will be deemed to represent and warrant that either (i) it is not acquiring the notes with the assets of a Benefit Plan or a governmental plan, non-U.S. plan, or church plan that is subject to any applicable law that is substantially similar to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code (“similar law”) or (ii) the acquisition and holding of the notes will not give rise to a nonexempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code or a nonexempt violation of any similar law.
 
We suggest that a fiduciary considering the purchase of securities on behalf of a Benefit Plan consult with its ERISA advisors and refer to the applicable prospectus supplement regarding whether the assets of the issuing entity would be considered plan assets, the possibility of exemptive relief from the prohibited transaction rules and other issues and their potential consequences.
 
Underwriters Exemption
 
The notes and certificates may be eligible for relief from specified prohibited transaction and conflict of interest rules of ERISA in reliance on a series of administrative exemptions granted by the United States Department of Labor to specified underwriters (known collectively as the  “underwriters exemption”). The underwriters exemption provides relief from specified prohibited transaction and conflict-of-interest rules of ERISA with respect to the initial purchase, holding and subsequent resale by Benefit Plans of pass-through securities or securities denominated as debt instruments that represent interests in an investment pool for which the underwriter is the sole underwriter or the co-manager of an underwriting syndicate and that consist of specified secured receivables, loans and other obligations that meet the conditions and requirements of the underwriters exemption. The receivables covered by the underwriters exemption include motor vehicle retail installment sale contracts and/or installment loans securing the notes and certificates offered by this prospectus.
 
The underwriters exemption will apply only if specific conditions are met. Among the conditions that must be satisfied for the underwriters exemption to apply to the acquisition of the notes or certificates by a Benefit Plan are the following:
 

 
64

 


 
(1)           The acquisition of notes or certificates by a Benefit Plan is on terms, including the price, that are at least as favorable to the Benefit Plan as they would be in an arm’s-length transaction with an unrelated party.
 
(2)           The notes or certificates acquired by the Benefit Plan have received a rating at the time of such acquisition that is in one of the four highest generic rating categories from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s, Fitch, DBRS Limited and DBRS, Inc.
 
(3)           The sum of all payments made to the underwriter in connection with the distribution of the notes or certificates represents not more than reasonable compensation for underwriting the notes or certificates. The sum of all payments made to and retained by the depositor pursuant to the sale of the receivables to the issuing entity represents not more than the fair market value of the receivables. The sum of all payments made to and retained by the servicer represents not more than reasonable compensation for the servicer’s services as servicer under the related agreements and reimbursement of the servicer’s reasonable expenses in connection with these services.
 
(4)           The owner trustee (or the independent manager, as applicable) is a substantial financial institution and is not an affiliate, as defined in the exemption, of any other member of the “restricted group,” other than the underwriter. The restricted group consists of the underwriter, the indenture trustee, the depositor, the owner trustee (or the independent manager, as applicable), the servicer, any subservicer, any insurer, any cap counterparty, any obligor with respect to motor vehicle receivables constituting more than 5% of the aggregate unamortized outstanding principal balance of the assets of the issuing entity as of the date of initial issuance of the notes or certificates and any affiliate of these parties.
 
(5)           The Benefit Plan investing in the notes or certificates is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D of the SEC under the Securities Act.
 
(6)           The issuing entity satisfies the following requirements:
 
 
(a)
the corpus of the issuing entity consists solely of assets of the type which have been included in other investment pools;
 
 
(b)
securities in these other investment pools have been rated in one of the four highest generic rating categories of one of the rating agencies specified above for at least one year prior to the Benefit Plan’s acquisition of the notes or certificates; and
 
 
(c)
securities evidencing interests in these other investment pools have been purchased by investors other than Benefit Plans for at least one year prior to any Benefit Plan’s acquisition of the notes or certificates.
 
(7)           The legal document establishing the issuing entity contains restrictions necessary to ensure that the assets of the issuing entity may not be reached by creditors of the depositor in the event of its bankruptcy or insolvency, the receivables sale and servicing agreements prohibit all parties from filing an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency petition against the issuing entity and a true sale opinion is issued in connection with the transfer of assets to the issuing entity.
 
(8)           The acquisition of additional receivables, during the pre-funding period must satisfy the following requirements:
 
 
(a)
all additional receivables must meet the same terms and conditions for determining eligibility as the initial receivables;
 
 
(b)
the additional receivables do not result in a lower credit rating;
 
 
(c)
the characteristics of the additional receivables are substantially similar to those of the motor vehicle receivables described in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, and the acquisition of the additional receivables must be monitored by an


 
65

 


   
independent accountant or a credit support provider or other insurance provider independent of the depositor;
 
 
(d)
the prefunded amount must not exceed 25% of the original aggregate certificate balance of the offered certificates; and
 
 
(e)
the pre-funding period must end the earlier of:

(z)
the date the amount in the pre-funding account is less than the minimum dollar amount specified in the indenture, if any, or other agreement(s) among the depositor, a servicer and trustee.
 
Some transactions are not covered by the underwriters exemption or any other exemption. The underwriters exemption does not exempt the acquisition and holding of securities by Benefit Plans sponsored by the depositor, the underwriters, the owner trustee (or the independent manager, as applicable), the administrator, the indenture trustee, the servicer, the insurer, the cap counterparty or any “obligor” (as defined in the underwriters exemption) with respect to receivables included in the issuing entity constituting more than 5% of the aggregate unamortized outstanding principal balance of the assets in the restricted group, or any affiliates of these parties. Moreover, the exemptive relief from the self-dealing/conflict-of-interest prohibited transaction rules of ERISA is available for other Benefit Plans only if, among other requirements:
 
 
a Benefit Plan’s investment in the notes or certificates does not exceed 25% of all of the notes or certificates outstanding at the time of the acquisition;
 
 
immediately after the acquisition, no more than 25% of the assets of a Benefit Plan with respect to which the person who has discretionary authority to render investment advice are invested in securities representing an interest in an issuing entity containing assets sold or serviced by the same entity; and
 
 
in the case of the acquisition of notes or certificates in connection with their initial issuance, at least 50% of such securities are acquired by persons independent of the restricted group and at least 50% of the aggregate interest in the issuing entity is acquired by persons independent of the restricted group.
 
The underwriters exemption will also apply to transactions in connection with the servicing, management and operation of the issuing entity, provided that, in addition to the general requirements described above, (a) these transactions are carried out in accordance with the terms of a binding indenture and (b) the indenture is provided to, or described in all material respects in the prospectus provided to, investing Benefit Plans before the plans purchase the notes or certificates issued by the issuing entity. All transactions relating to the servicing, management and operations of the issuing entity will be carried out in accordance with the administration agreement, indenture and receivables sale and servicing agreements, which will be described in all material respects in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement.
 
Each purchaser that is purchasing the notes or certificates in reliance on the underwriters exemption will be deemed to represent that it qualifies as an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D of the Securities Act. In addition, each prospective purchaser of notes or certificates in reliance on the underwriters exemption should consider the possibility that the rating of a note or certificate may change during the period that note or certificate is held. If the rating were to decline below BBB- (or the equivalent rating), the note or certificate could no longer be transferred to a plan in reliance on the exemption, other than to an insurance company general account that meets the requirements of Section I and III of PTCE 95-60. If the ratings decline below one of the four highest generic rating categories from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s, Fitch, DBRS Limited and DBRS, Inc, each transferee will be deemed to represent that either (a) it is not purchasing the notes or certificates with plan assets of a Benefit Plan, or (b) it is an insurance company using the assets of its general account (within the meaning of PTCE
 

 
66

 

95-60) to purchase the notes or certificates and that it is eligible for and satisfies all of the requirements of Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60.
 
For more information, including whether an underwriters exemption is likely to provide relief for a particular class of notes or certificates, see “Certain ERISA Considerations in the applicable prospectus supplement. If you are a Benefit Plan fiduciary considering the purchase of the notes or certificates, you should consult with your counsel with respect to whether the issuing entity will be deemed to hold plan assets and the applicability of the underwriters exemption or another exemption from the prohibited transaction rules and determine on your own whether all conditions have been satisfied and whether the notes or certificates are an appropriate investment for a Benefit Plan under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code.
 
UNDERWRITING
 
If specified in the accompanying prospectus supplement, on the terms and conditions set forth in one or more underwriting agreements for each issuing entity, the depositor will agree to sell to each of the underwriters named in the underwriting agreements and in the accompanying prospectus supplement, and each of the underwriters will severally agree to purchase from the depositor, the principal amount of each class of securities of the series set forth in the related underwriting agreement and in the accompanying prospectus supplement.  One or more classes of a series may not be subject to an underwriting agreement.  Any of these classes will be retained by the depositor or will be sold in a private placement.
 
In each underwriting agreement, each of the underwriters will severally agree, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the underwriting agreements, to purchase all the securities described in the underwriting agreements which are offered by this prospectus and by the accompanying prospectus supplement if any of these securities are purchased. In the event of a default by any underwriter, each underwriting agreement will provide that, in some circumstances, purchase commitments of the non-defaulting underwriters may be increased or the underwriting agreement may be terminated.
 
Each applicable prospectus supplement will either:
 
(1) set forth the price at which each class of securities being offered thereby initially will be offered to the public and any concessions that may be offered to dealers participating in the offering of the securities, or
 
(2) specify that the securities are to be resold by the underwriters in negotiated transactions at varying prices to be determined at the time of sale.
 
After the initial public offering of any securities, the public offering prices and the concessions may be changed.
 
Each underwriting agreement will provide that Huntington and/or the depositor, as specified, will indemnify the underwriters against specified liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and contribute to payments the several underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof.
 
The issuing entity may, from time to time, invest the funds in the Issuing Entity Accounts in Permitted Investments acquired from the underwriters or any of their affiliates.
 
Under each underwriting agreement, the closing of the sale of any class of securities will be conditioned on the closing of the sale of all other classes or, if less than all other classes, only those classes disclosed in the applicable prospectus supplement.
 
The place and time of delivery for the securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered will be set forth in the related prospectus supplement.
 
To the extent set forth in the related prospectus supplement, the underwriters may make a market in the securities, but they are not obligated to do so. In addition, any market-making may be discontinued at any time at their sole discretion.
 

 
67

 

To the extent set forth in the related prospectus supplement, securities of a given series may be offered by placements with institutional investors through dealers or by direct placements with institutional investors.
 
The prospectus supplement with respect to any notes offered by placements through dealers will contain information regarding the nature of the offering and any agreements to be entered into between the depositor and purchasers of securities.
 
Purchasers of securities, including dealers, may, depending upon the facts and circumstances of the purchases, be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with reoffers and sales by them of securities. Securityholders should consult with their legal advisors in this regard prior to any reoffer or sale.
 
Underwriting
 
Until the distribution of the securities of a series being offered pursuant to this prospectus and the related prospectus supplement is completed, rules of the SEC may limit the ability of the related underwriters and certain selling group members to bid for and purchase the securities. As an exception to these rules, the underwriters are permitted to engage in certain transactions that stabilize the prices of the securities. Such transactions consist of bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the prices of the securities.
 
The underwriters may make short sales in the securities being sold in connection with an offering (i.e., they sell more securities than they are required to purchase in the offering). This type of short sale is commonly referred to as a “naked” short sale because the related underwriters do not have an option to purchase these additional securities in the offering. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing securities in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the related underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the securities in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. Similar to other purchase transactions, the underwriters’ purchases to cover syndicate short sales may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of the securities or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the securities.
 
The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid on certain underwriters and selling group members. This means that if the underwriters purchase securities in the open market to reduce the underwriters’ short position or to stabilize the price of such securities, they may reclaim the amount of the selling concession from any underwriter or selling group member who sold those securities as part of the offering.
 
In general, purchases of a security for the purpose of stabilization or to reduce a short position could cause the price of the security to be higher than it might be in the absence of such purchases. The imposition of a penalty bid might also have an effect on the price of a security to the extent that it were to discourage resales of the security.
 
Neither the depositor nor any of the underwriters makes any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of the securities. In addition, neither the depositor nor any of the underwriters makes any representation that the underwriters will engage in such transactions or that such transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.
 
Matters Relating to the Offering of the Notes in Europe
 
To the extent provided for in the accompanying prospectus supplement, in relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each a “Relevant Member State”), each underwriter will represent and agree that, with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that Relevant Member State (the “Relevant Implementation Date”) it has not made and will not make an offer of the offered securities to the public in that Relevant Member State other than to any legal entity which is a “qualified investor” as defined in the Prospectus Directive; provided that no such offer of notes shall require the issuing entity or any underwriter to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive.
 
For the purpose of this provision, the expression “an offer of the offered securities to the public” in relation to any of the offered securities in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means
 

 
68

 

of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the securities to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe to the offered securities, as the same may be varied in that Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Member State and the expression “Prospectus Directive” means Directive 2003/71/EC (and amendments thereto, including the 2010 PD Amending Directive, to the extent implemented in the Relevant Member State), and includes any relevant implementing measure in each Relevant Member State and the expression “2010 PD Amending Directive” means Directive 2010/73/EU.
 
The countries comprising the “European Economic Area” are Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
 
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This prospectus contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to financial condition, results of operations and other matters.  In addition, certain statements made in future SEC filings by Huntington, the issuing entity or the depositor, in press releases and in oral and written statements made by or with Huntington’s, the issuing entity’s or the depositor’s approval may constitute forward-looking statements.  Statements in this prospectus that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” for the purpose of the safe harbor provided by Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act.  Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts.  They often include words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates” or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs, such as “will,” “should,” “could” or “may.”
 
Forward-looking statements provide Huntington’s, the depositor’s or the issuing entity’s (as applicable) expectations or predictions of future conditions, events or results.  They are not guarantees of future performance.  By their nature forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties.  These statements speak only as of the date they are made.  None of Huntington, the depositor or the issuing entity undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect the impact of circumstances or events that arise after the date the forward-looking statements were made.  There are a number of factors, many of which are beyond Huntington’s, the depositor’s or the issuing entity’s (as applicable) control, that could cause actual conditions, events or results to differ significantly from those described in the forward-looking statements.
 
RATINGS OF THE SECURITIES
 
Each class of securities offered by the applicable prospectus supplement will be rated by at least one nationally recognized statistical rating agency or organization that initially rates the series at the request of the depositor.
 
The security ratings of the offered securities should be evaluated independently from similar ratings on other types of securities. A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating agencies that are rating the offered securities. The rating does not address the expected schedule of principal repayments on a class of securities other than to say that principal will be returned no later than the final maturity date for that class of securities.  There is no assurance that the ratings initially assigned to any offered securities will not be lowered or withdrawn by the rating agency rating the offered securities. In the event the rating initially assigned to any securities is subsequently lowered for any reason, no person or entity will be obligated to provide any credit enhancement unless such person or entity and the form of credit enhancement to be provided is identified in the applicable prospectus supplement. An issuing entity may also issue non-investment grade or unrated securities that are not offered under this prospectus and applicable prospectus supplement. A rating is based on each rating agency’s independent evaluation of the receivables and the availability of any credit enhancement for the notes. A rating, or a change or withdrawal of a rating, by one rating agency will not necessarily correspond to a rating, or a change or a withdrawal of a rating, from any other rating agency.

These reports will not constitute financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The servicer does not intend to send any financial reports of any originator to securityholders.  The servicer will file with the SEC all required annual, monthly and special SEC reports and other information about the issuing entity.

72

 

Record Date” means, with respect to any payment date or redemption date, (i) for any definitive securities, the close of business on the last business day of the calendar month immediately preceding the calendar month in which such payment date or redemption date occurs, (ii) for any book-entry securities, the close of business on the business day immediately preceding such payment date or redemption date, or (iii) any other day specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.

SEC” means the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
Short-Term Note” means a note with a fixed maturity date not more than one year from its issue date.
 
Simple Interest Method” means, with respect to a receivable, the method of allocating a fixed level payment between principal and interest, pursuant to which the portion of such payment that is allocated to interest is equal to the product of the applicable interest rate multiplied by the unpaid principal balance of such receivable multiplied by the period of time (expressed as a fraction of a year, based on the actual number of days in the month and a 365-day year or, in the event of a leap year, a 366-day year) elapsed since the preceding payment was received by the servicer.  The remainder of such payment is allocable to fees, charges, if any, and to principal in the manner determined at the discretion of the servicer; provided, however, that the servicer applies Liquidation Proceeds, insurance proceeds and amounts in respect of deficiency balances first to unpaid principal, second to interest, third to unpaid late fees, and fourth to any receivable relating to the premium paid on any force-placed insurance policy.
 
Simple Interest Receivables” means receivables pursuant to which the payments due from the obligors during any month are allocated between interest, principal and other charges based on the actual date on which a payment is received and for which interest is calculated using the Simple Interest Method. For these receivables, the obligor’s payment is first applied to interest accrued as of the actual due date and then the remaining payment is allocable to fees, charges, if any, and to principal in the manner determined at the discretion of the servicer. Accordingly, if an obligor pays the fixed monthly installment in advance of the due date, the portion of the payment allocable to interest for that period since the preceding payment will be less than it would be if the payment were made on the due date, and the portion of the payment allocable to reduce the outstanding principal balance will be correspondingly greater. Conversely, if an obligor pays the fixed monthly installment after its due date, the portion of the payment allocable to interest for the period since the preceding payment will be greater than it would be if the payment were made on the due date, and the portion of the payment allocable to reduce the outstanding principal balance will be correspondingly smaller. When necessary, an adjustment is made at the maturity of the receivable to the scheduled final payment to reflect the larger or smaller, as the case may be, allocations of payments to interest or principal under the receivable as a result of early or late payments, as the case may be. Late payments, or early payments, on a Simple Interest Receivable may result in the obligor making a greater — or smaller — number of payments than originally scheduled. The amount of additional payments required to pay the outstanding principal balance in full generally will not exceed the amount of an originally scheduled payment. If an obligor elects to prepay a Simple Interest Receivable in full, the obligor will not receive a rebate attributable to unearned finance charges. Instead, the obligor is required to pay finance charges only to, but not including, the date of prepayment. The amount of finance charges on a Simple Interest Receivable that would have accrued from and after the date of prepayment if all monthly payments had been made as scheduled will generally be greater than the rebate on a Scheduled Interest Receivable that provides for a Rule of 78s rebate, and will generally be equal to the rebate on a Scheduled Interest Receivable that provides for a simple interest rebate.
 
Special Tax Counsel” means Shearman & Sterling LLP, as special tax counsel to the depositor.
 

 
73

 

Standard & Poor’s” means Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
 
Strip Certificates” means any class of certificates entitled to principal distributions with disproportionate, nominal or no interest distributions, or interest distributions with disproportionate, nominal or no principal distributions.
 
Strip Notes” means any class of notes entitled to principal distributions with disproportionate, nominal or no interest distributions, or interest distributions with disproportionate, nominal or no principal distributions.
 
Tax Non-Entity” means an issuing entity in which all of the certificates or membership interests in that issuing entity are owned by the depositor, and the depositor and the servicer agree to treat the issuing entity as a division of the depositor and hence disregarded as a separate entity for purposes of federal, state and local income and franchise taxes.
 
Tax Non-Entity Certificates” means certificates or membership interests issued by a Tax Non-Entity. References to a holder of these certificates means to the beneficial owner thereof.
