The Issuing Entity will also issue the Class XS Notes and the Class N Notes (collectively with the Offered Notes, the “Notes”) pursuant to the Indenture and certificates that evidence beneficial interests in the Issuing Entity (the “Certificates” and, together with the Notes, the “Securities”), which are not being offered by this prospectus.

    security interests in the motor vehicles financed by the Receivables;

 

    any proceeds from claims on certain related insurance policies;

 

    rights to amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account and the Class N Reserve Account, but excluding (i) any income earned on those deposits, and (ii) any amounts on deposits in the Class N Reserve Account remaining after the Class N Notes are paid in full; and

 

    rights under the Transaction Documents.

The information presented in this prospectus relates to the pool of Receivables as of the Cutoff Date (the “Pool”).

For a more detailed description of the Receivables, including the criteria they must meet in order to be included in the Pool, and the other property supporting the Notes, see “The Receivables.”

Table of Contents

Underwriting Program

The underwriting process for Carvana is described under “Underwriting of Receivables.” None of the Receivables were originated with exceptions to Carvana’s written underwriting guidelines.

The Depositor performed a review of the Pool, including a review of the ongoing processes and procedures used by Carvana and the Servicer and a review of the underlying data and disclosure regarding the Receivables. The Depositor concluded that it has reasonable assurance that the disclosure regarding the Pool in this prospectus is accurate in all material respects. See “The Receivables—Depositor Review of the Pool.”

Repurchases of Receivables and Indemnities

Each of Carvana and the Depositor will be obligated to repurchase any Receivable transferred to the Issuing Entity if:

 

    one of Carvana’s or the Depositor’s representations or warranties, as applicable, is breached with respect to that Receivable;

 

    the interests of the investors, taken as a whole, in such Receivable are materially and adversely affected by the breach; and

 

    the breach has not been cured following the discovery by or notice to Carvana or the Depositor, as applicable, of the breach.

For a more detailed description of the repurchase obligations if the representations and warranties regarding the Receivables are breached, see “The Transaction Documents—Repurchases of Receivables and The Receivables—Certain Legal Considerations of the Receivables—Security Interests in the Financed Vehicles.”

Additionally, the Servicer may be required to indemnify the Issuing Entity in connection with the breach of certain servicing covenants related to the Receivables, as described under “The Transaction Documents— The Servicing Agreement and Servicing of the Receivables—Limitation on Servicer Liability and Indemnification.

Asset Representations Review

If the Delinquency Trigger is met or exceeded for a monthly period, Noteholders (other than Carvana and its affiliates) representing at least 5% of the Aggregate Note Principal Amount (other than the Class N Notes) may request a vote on requiring an asset representations review, which will be conducted if a majority of the Noteholders that vote approve the request and at least 5% of the Noteholders by Aggregate Note Principal Amount (other than the Class N Notes) cast a vote. See “The Transaction Documents—Asset Representations Review Agreement—Voting.” The Asset Representations Reviewer will review all Receivables that are more than 60 days delinquent to determine if the representations and warranties were satisfied as of the Closing Date (or such other date as indicated in the related representations and warranties). For a description of the asset representations review process, see “The Transaction Documents—Asset Representations Review Agreement.”

Dispute Resolution

If a request is made for the repurchase of a Receivable due to a breach of a representation or warranty made by Carvana or the Depositor, and the repurchase request is not resolved within 180 days after receipt by Carvana or the Depositor of notice, the requesting party will have the right to refer the matter, in its discretion, to either mediation or binding third-party arbitration. See “The Receivables—Dispute Resolution.”

CREDIT ENHANCEMENT

The credit enhancement for the Offered Notes generally will include the following:

Subordination

The Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the Class A-4 Notes Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes will be subordinated to each class of Notes with a higher alphabetical designation or lower numerical designation, as applicable, in some circumstances. On each Distribution Date:

 

    no interest will be paid on any such class of Notes (other than the classes of the Class A Notes, which will receive ratable interest payments among such classes) until all interest due on each class of Notes with a higher alphabetical designation has been paid in full through the related interest period, including, to the extent lawful, interest on overdue interest;

 

    if the Notes have been accelerated following the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Indenture, no interest will be paid on any such class of Notes (other than the classes of the Class A Notes, which will receive ratable interest payments among such classes) until all payments of principal have been made on each class of Notes with a higher alphabetical designation; and

 

    no principal will be paid on any such class of Notes, other than the Class N Notes, until all principal due on each class of Notes with a higher alphabetical designation or lower numerical designation, as applicable, has been paid in full.

In addition, if the Notes are accelerated following the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Indenture, principal payments will be made as described under “Priority of Distributions—Acceleration of the Notes below.

Overcollateralization

Overcollateralization represents the amount by which the Pool Balance exceeds the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes (other than the Class N Notes). Overcollateralization will be available to absorb losses on the Receivables that are not otherwise covered by excess collections on the Receivables, if any. For any Distribution Date, the “Overcollateralization Target Amount” will be an amount (expressed as a dollar value) equal to 0.35% of the Pool Balance as of the Cutoff Date (the “Initial Pool Balance”). Collections on the Receivables

Table of Contents

will be applied to reach or maintain, as applicable, the Overcollateralization Target Amount. On the Closing Date, the amount of overcollateralization will be $0.79, or approximately 0.00% of the Initial Pool Balance.

Excess Collections

Excess collections are generally the excess of collections on the Receivables over certain fees and expenses of the Issuing Entity, including the Servicing Strip Amount, interest payments on the Notes and certain required principal payments on the Notes. Any excess collections will be applied on each Distribution Date to make principal payments on the Notes to the extent necessary to reach the Overcollateralization Target Amount.

For a detailed description of the use of excess collections as a credit enhancement for the Notes, see “Credit Enhancement—Excess Collections.”

Reserve Account

On the Closing Date, $5,275,000 in cash or eligible investments, which equals approximately 0.50% of the Initial Pool Balance, will be deposited into the Reserve Account (the “Reserve Account Initial Deposit”). To the extent that Available Funds are not sufficient to pay certain expense, interest on the Notes (other than the Class N Notes and the Class XS Notes), and the Aggregate Priority PDA, the amount previously deposited in the Reserve Account provides an additional source of funds for those payments. The “Specified Reserve Account Balance” will be $5,275,000. For additional information relating to the Reserve Account, see “Credit Enhancement—Reserve Account.”

Class N Reserve Account

The Class N Reserve Account provides credit enhancement solely for the Class N Notes and will not be available to make payments to the holders of the Offered Notes, see “Credit Enhancement—Class N Reserve Account.”

PRIORITY OF DISTRIBUTIONS

On each Distribution Date, unless the Notes have been accelerated following the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Issuing Entity will pay from Available Funds and amounts withdrawn from the Reserve Account and the Class N Reserve Account the following amounts in the following order of priority:

LOGO

Amounts designated by the Issuing Entity as a Regular Principal Distributable Amount will be applied in the following order of priority:

    a default in the payment of interest on the Controlling Class for five Business Days;

 

    a default in the payment of principal of any class of Notes (other than the Class XS Notes) and accrued but unpaid interest due on any class of Notes (other than the Class XS Notes) on the related Final Scheduled Distribution Date;

 

    a default in the payment in full of any other amounts due on any class of Notes (other than the Class XS Notes), when such payment becomes due and payable, to the extent funds are available therefor, for five Business Days;

 

    a material default in the observance or performance of any other covenant or agreement of the Issuing Entity made in the Indenture that is not cured for a period of 60 consecutive days after written notice;

 

    any representation or warranty made by the Issuing Entity having been incorrect in any material respect as of the time made that is not cured for a period of 60 consecutive days after written notice; and
 

certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or liquidation of the Issuing Entity or its property.

Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default the holders of a majority of the Controlling Class (the “Requisite Noteholders”) may direct the Indenture Trustee to accelerate the Notes.

For a more detailed description of Events of Default and the rights of Noteholders, see The Transaction Documents— Indenture—Events of Default.”

SERVICING AND SERVICER COMPENSATION

The Servicer will service the Receivables. As compensation for its services, the Servicer will be entitled to receive a fee (the “Servicing Fee”) equal to the product of (i) 0.60% times (ii) the Pool Balance as of the first day of that Collection Period (or, in the case of the first Distribution Date, the Pool Balance as of the Cutoff Date) times (iii) a fraction equal to 1/12 (or, in the case of the first Distribution Date, 19/360). On each Distribution Date, the Servicing Fee will be payable from the “Servicing Strip Amount” for such Distribution Date which will be an amount equal to the product of (i) 1.00% of the Pool Balance as of the first day of that Collection Period (or, in the case of the first Distribution Date, the Pool Balance as of the Cutoff Date) times (ii) a fraction equal to 1/12 (or, in the case of the first Distribution Date, 19/360). In addition, the Servicer will also be entitled to retain “Supplemental Servicing Fees,” which include any late fees, insufficient fund fees and other administrative fees and expenses or similar charges collected during a monthly Collection Period. To the extent that the Servicing Strip Amount exceeds the fees owed to the Servicer, or successor servicer, as applicable, such amount (the “Excess Servicing Strip Amount”) will be paid to the holders of the Class XS Notes. See Transaction Fees and Expenses” for more information about the Servicing Fee, the Servicing Strip Amount, and the Excess Servicing Strip Amount, and “Servicing Procedures for more information about the Servicer’s responsibilities.

OPTIONAL REDEMPTION

The Servicer (or its designee) has the option to purchase the Receivables on any Distribution Date following the last day of a Collection Period as of which the Pool Balance is 2% or less of the Initial Pool Balance. Upon such a purchase, the purchase price will be used to redeem the Notes (other than the Class XS Notes) and to pay all amounts owing to parties under the Transaction Documents. See Description of the Notes—Optional Redemption.”

RATINGS

The Offered Notes are expected to receive credit ratings from two nationally recognized rating agencies hired by Carvana (the “Hired Rating Agencies”). The Hired Rating Agencies have discretion to monitor and adjust the ratings on the Offered Notes.

The Offered Notes may receive an unsolicited rating that is different from the ratings provided by the Hired Rating Agencies. As of the date of this prospectus, we are not aware of

any unsolicited ratings on the Offered 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. See “Risk Factors—General Risk Factors—The ratings for the Notes are limited in scope, may be unsolicited, may not continue to be issued and do not consider the suitability of the Offered Notes for you” for more information.

TAX CONSIDERATIONS

Subject to considerations discussed under the heading “Certain Material Federal Income Tax Consequences,” (i) the Class A Notes, Class B Notes, Class C Notes and Class D Notes will be characterized as indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent such Notes are treated as beneficially owned by a person other than Carvana or its affiliates for such purposes, (ii) the Issuing Entity should, and the Grantor Trust will, be classified as a grantor trust under the Code, (iii) the Issuing Entity will not be taxable as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and (iv) the activities of the Issuing Entity should not cause it to be considered to be engaged in a United States trade or business for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Each investor, by accepting an Offered Note, will agree to treat the Offered Note as indebtedness for federal, state, and local income and franchise tax purposes.

For a detailed description of the tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of Offered Notes, see Certain Material Federal Income Tax Consequences.”

ERISA CONSIDERATIONS

Subject to considerations discussed under the heading “Certain ERISA Considerations,” the Class A Notes, Class B Notes, Class C Notes and Class D Notes generally may be acquired with the assets of employee benefit plans and other retirement arrangements. Each person acquiring the Offered Notes with such assets should consult with its legal advisors before purchasing the Offered Notes and will be deemed to have made certain representations, warranties and covenants described in the Indenture.

For a detailed description of the ERISA considerations applicable to a purchase of the Offered Notes, see Certain ERISA Considerations.”

INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT CONSIDERATIONS

The Issuing Entity is not registered or required to be registered as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act. In determining that the Issuing Entity is not required to be registered as an investment company, the Issuing Entity will be relying on an exclusion set forth in Section 3(c)(5) of the Investment Company Act, although there may be additional exclusions or exemptions available to the Issuing Entity. As of the Closing Date, the Issuing Entity will be structured so as not to constitute a “covered fund” for the purposes of the regulations adopted to implement Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Act.

EU SECURITIZATION RULES AND UK SECURITIZATION RULES

Neither Carvana, the Depositor nor any other person intends, or is required under the Transaction Documents, to retain a material net economic interest in the securitization constituted by the issuance of the Securities, or to take any other action with regard to such securitization, in a manner prescribed or contemplated by the EU Securitization Rules or the UK Securitization Rules (each as defined below). In particular, no such person undertakes to take any action, or refrain from taking any action, for purposes of, or in connection with, compliance by any person with any applicable requirement of, the EU Securitization Rules or the UK Securitization Rules.

RISK FACTORS

Investment in the Offered Notes involves certain risks. In addition to the other information contained in this prospectus, prospective investors should carefully consider the following risk factors before purchasing the Offered Notes. Although the following risks are generally described separately, prospective investors in the Offered Notes should consider the potential effects of the occurrence of multiple risks simultaneously. Where more than one significant risk is present, the risk of loss may be significantly increased. The order in which these considerations are presented is not intended to represent the magnitude of risks discussed.

RISKS RELATED TO THE RECEIVABLES

Adverse events arising from the global COVID-19 outbreak could result in delays in payments or losses on your Securities

The global outbreak of a novel coronavirus and its variants (“COVID-19”) has led, and will likely continue to lead, to disruptions in global financial markets and the economies of many nations and is resulting in adverse impacts on the economy of the United States (which include a general curtailment of business activity, supply chain disruptions and a significant increase in unemployment) and the global economy in general. The long-term effects of the social, economic and financial disruptions caused by the outbreak of COVID-19 are unknown.

It is unclear how many obligors have been and will continue to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 outbreak. While governments have and may continue to implement various stimulus and economic relief programs, including additional unemployment benefits, it is uncertain whether existing programs will be effective in mitigating the economic effects of COVID-19 and, with respect to future programs, to what extent obligors will be eligible to participate. Furthermore, it is not known how many, and to what extent, obligors of the Receivables may have been receiving or may in the future receive any such benefits, and what effect such benefits had or may have on the performance of the Receivables. As discussed under “The Transaction Documents—The Servicing Agreement and Servicing of the Receivables—Modifications,” to the extent the COVID-19 outbreak and the related economic downturn result in increased financial hardship for obligors, the Servicer has implemented, and may continue to implement, a range of actions with respect to affected obligors to extend or modify the payment schedule of the related Receivables consistent with the Servicer’s customary servicing practices. During the early stages of the COVID-19 outbreak, servicers of motor vehicle receivables, including the Servicer, experienced a sharp increase in requests for extensions and modifications related to COVID-19, and a significant number of such extensions and modifications have been granted, including by the Servicer. Although the frequency of extensions and modifications related to the COVID-19 outbreak has since declined and the Servicer has since resumed involuntary repossessions and other collections activity where permitted by local law, the frequency of extensions and modifications may increase in the future and the Servicer may again elect (or be required) to suspend repossession activity in the future. Also, there may be an increase in the number of obligors seeking protection under bankruptcy or debtor relief laws as a result of the financial and economic disruptions related to the outbreak of COVID-19.

Because a pandemic such as COVID-19 has not occurred in recent years, historical loss experience is unlikely to accurately predict the performance of the Receivables. See “ —Carvana’s proprietary credit scoring system may not perform as expected and may fail to properly quantify the credit risks associated with Carvana’s customers, resulting in higher than anticipated delinquencies and credit losses on the Receivables.” All of the foregoing could have a negative effect on the performance of the Receivables and, as a result, you may experience delays in payments or losses on your Securities.

Receivables with non-prime obligors have higher default rates than Receivables with prime obligors, which may affect the performance of the Receivables

Some of the Receivables in the Pool are obligations of non-prime obligors who do not qualify for conventional motor vehicle financing as a result of, among other things, a lack of or adverse credit history, low income levels or the inability to provide adequate down payments. While Carvana’s underwriting criteria are designed to establish that the obligor would be a reasonable credit risk, the Receivables will nonetheless experience higher default rates than a portfolio of Receivables with all prime obligors. In the event of a default, repossession of the related financed vehicle is the most likely alternative for recovery. As a result, losses on Charged-Off Receivables are likely because net liquidation proceeds from the sale of repossessed vehicles are expected to be insufficient to satisfy amounts owed by the related obligors under the Receivables in full. See “The Receivables—Certain Legal Considerations of the Receivables.” In addition, the concentration of Receivables in the Pool with non-prime obligors may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks, including those relating to general macroeconomic forces and economic downturns, described in this “Risk Factors” section. If delinquencies and losses create shortfalls, which exceed the available credit enhancement, you may experience delays in payments due to you and you could suffer a loss on your Notes.

Carvana’s proprietary credit scoring system may not perform as expected and may fail to properly quantify the credit risks associated with Carvana’s customers, resulting in higher than anticipated delinquencies and credit losses on the Receivables

Carvana has developed, and revises from time to time, complex proprietary credit scoring models that use traditional and non-traditional variables to assess credit risk and determine credit offer parameters. There is no guarantee that Carvana’s credit scoring models will perform as intended.

 

7


Table of Contents

If Carvana made errors in developing or validating its credit scoring models, trained or validated its models on incomplete, inaccurate, or biased data sets, or used model development or validation techniques that result in bias or instability, Carvana may fail to gauge credit risk as expected and make credit decisions that result in higher delinquencies and credit losses.

Carvana’s credit scoring models are generally developed and validated on samples of consumer data and loan performance pertaining to a distinct period of time in the past. Changes in the macroeconomy, consumer behavior, creditor reporting behavior, and third party data reporting methods between a model’s development and validation periods and between a model’s development period and when the model is used by Carvana could materially impact the relationship between inputs to Carvana’s models and expected credit outcomes, resulting in a reduction of the ability of Carvana’s credit scoring models to assess credit risk as expected.

Carvana’s credit scoring models rely heavily on data obtained from third parties, including credit bureaus. If the data Carvana obtains from third parties for use in its models is incomplete, inaccurate, biased, or not provided consistent with the methods and practices used by such third parties during the time period of the sample upon which Carvana built or validated our models, the output of Carvana’s models may be unreliable and fail to properly quantify credit risk, resulting in it making credit decisions that result in higher delinquencies and credit losses.

Further, Carvana’s credit scoring models were built prior to the global outbreak of COVID-19, and consequently may not adequately take into account the longer-term impact of social, economic and financial disruptions caused by the pandemic.

Information provided to Carvana by customers, credit data partners, and others may be incorrect or fraudulent, and Carvana’s Verification Process may fail to ensure that reliable information is incorporated into the extension of credit offers to Carvana’s customers, resulting in higher than anticipated delinquencies and credit losses on the Receivables

In deciding whether to extend credit to customers and the parameters of such credit offers, Carvana relies heavily on information furnished to it by customers, credit data partners, and others, and such data may be incorrect or fraudulent. Carvana has developed a Verification Process that attempts to ensure that information considered by its proprietary financing technology belongs to the customer(s) receiving a credit offer, and that such information is reasonably accurate. There is no guarantee that Carvana’s Verification Process will perform as expected, detect fraudulent or incorrect data, or otherwise achieve its goals, which may result in credit loss and delinquency rates on the Receivables being higher than anticipated.

Further, Carvana utilizes identity and fraud checks based on customer provided documents and inputs, as well as data provided by external databases to authenticate each customer’s identity. There have been instances in the past in which these checks have failed or been ineffective, and there is a risk that these checks could also fail or be ineffective in the future, which could result in significant losses related to fraud being borne by investors in the Securities. Fraudulent activity or significant increases in fraudulent activity could also lead to regulatory intervention, negatively impacting the operating results and reputation of both Carvana and the Servicer.

Historical loss experience may not accurately predict the likelihood of delinquencies, defaults and losses on the Receivables.

Historical loss and delinquency information as set forth in this prospectus under “Historical Performance” are affected by several variables, including general economic conditions and market interest rates, that are expected to differ in the immediate future, and are likely to differ in the longer term future. Consequently, the net loss experience calculated and presented in this prospectus with respect to Carvana’s managed portfolio may not reflect actual experience with respect to the Receivables in the Pool. Further, the prices of used vehicles, including the prices at which the Servicer is able to sell repossessed vehicles, are variable, and such prices declined during the early stages of the COVID-19 outbreak and may decline again in the future, resulting in increased credit losses on defaulted Receivables. In addition, future delinquency rates, rates of repossession, recovery rates on repossessed vehicles or loss experience with respect to the Receivables may be better or worse than that set forth in the static pool information and historical delinquency and loss information contained in this prospectus. Consequently, payments on the Notes could be adversely affected.

Economic developments may adversely affect the performance of the Receivables and the market value of your Securities

The United States economy experienced a recession following the start of the COVID-19 outbreak, which may adversely affect the performance of the Receivables and the performance and market value of your Notes. Periods of economic slowdown or recession are often characterized by high unemployment and diminished availability of credit, generally resulting in increases in delinquencies, defaults, repossessions and losses on automobile loans.

If an economic downturn is experienced for a prolonged period of time, it is expected that delinquencies will increase and losses on the Receivables could increase, which could result in losses on your Securities. An improvement in economic conditions could result in prepayments by the obligors of their payment obligations under the Receivables, either because obligors elect to make payments more frequently or in larger-than-required amounts or because obligors sell the financed vehicles more frequently in connection with the purchase of new vehicles. As a result, you may receive principal payments of your Notes earlier than anticipated.

Market factors may reduce the value of used vehicles, which could result in increased losses on the Receivables

Vehicles that are repossessed are typically sold at vehicle auctions. The pricing of used cars is affected by the supply and demand for those cars, which, in turn, is affected by consumer demand and tastes, recalls, economic factors (including the price of gasoline, energy prices and closure of dealerships), the introduction and pricing of new car models and other factors, including legislation related to emissions and fuel efficiency. Decisions by a manufacturer with respect to new vehicle production and brands, pricing and incentives

Table of Contents

may affect used car prices, particularly those for the same or similar models. Adverse changes in these factors may depress the price at which repossessed motor vehicles may be sold or delay the timing of those sales. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic and financial disruption have had an adverse effect on the supply and demand of both new and used motor vehicles. An increase in the supply or a decrease in the demand for used cars may negatively impact the resale value of the vehicles securing the Receivables, which could result in losses on the Securities.

Further, periods of economic slowdown may also be accompanied by decreased consumer demand for light-duty trucks, SUVs or other vehicles and declining values of automobiles securing outstanding retail installment sale contracts, which weakens collateral coverage and increases the amount of a loss in the event of default by an obligor. Vehicle sales and other activity in the consumer automotive market sharply declined in the early stages of the COVID-19 outbreak and may decline again in the future, especially if directives requiring stay-at-home orders and the closure of “nonessential” businesses in an effort to slow the COVID-19 outbreak continue for a prolonged period of time or are re-implemented. Decreases in the value of those vehicles may, in turn, reduce the incentive of obligors to make payments on the Receivables and decrease the proceeds realized from vehicle repossessions, which could result in losses on the Securities.

Longer term Receivables may increase the frequency and amount of losses

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 related financed vehicle is less than the remaining principal balance of such Receivable. See “The Receivables—Distribution of the Receivables by Original Term to Maturity as of the Cutoff Date” for the percentage of Receivables with original terms of greater than 72 months as of the Cutoff Date.

Prepayments on and repurchases of the Receivables could shorten the average life of the Notes

Obligors may prepay the Receivables in full or in part at any time. We cannot predict the rate of prepayments on the Receivables. A variety of unpredictable economic, social, and other factors influence prepayment rates. In addition, the Receivables may be prepaid as a result of defaults, from credit life, disability or physical damage insurance, or, in limited circumstances, voluntarily by Carvana. Also, Carvana may be required to repurchase Receivables in specified circumstances and the Servicer (or its designee) may purchase all remaining Receivables pursuant to the optional redemption. See “The Transaction Documents—Repurchases of Receivables.”

A prepayment, repurchase, purchase or liquidation of the Receivables, including liquidation of Charged-Off Receivables, could shorten the average life of the Notes.

You will bear all reinvestment risk resulting from a faster or slower rate of prepayment, repurchase or extension of the Receivables held by the Grantor Trust.

Consumer protection laws and limited enforceability of the Receivables may reduce or delay the funds available to make payments on your Securities

Federal and state consumer protection laws impose requirements upon creditors in connection with extensions of credit and collections on retail installment loans and retail installment contracts such as the Receivables. Specific statutory liabilities are imposed upon creditors who fail to comply with these regulatory provisions. In some cases, this liability could affect an assignee’s ability to enforce secured loans such as the Receivables or make an assignee of the loan or contract liable to the obligor for any violation by the originator. Any liabilities of the Issuing Entity under these laws could reduce Available Funds.

Since March 2020, the United States has enacted complex legislation to address the COVID-19 pandemic, including various measures intended to help consumers, such as new requirements affecting credit reporting. Compliance with implementing the regulations under these and future legislative acts may impose costs on, or create operational constraints for, Carvana and may have an adverse impact on the ability of the Servicer to effectively service the Receivables.

If an obligor had a claim for violation of these laws prior to the its applicable Cutoff Date that materially and adversely affected the interests of the investors, taken as a whole, in the related Receivables, Carvana must repurchase the Receivable under the circumstances set forth under “The Transaction Documents—Repurchases of Receivables” unless the breach is cured. If Carvana fails to repurchase the Receivable, you might experience reductions or delays in payments on your Securities. See “Certain Regulatory Considerations—Consumer Protection Laws.

Terrorist attacks and conflicts involving the United States military could result in delays in payment or losses on your Securities

Any effect that terrorist attacks, any current or future military action by or against the United States and the rising tensions in certain regions of the world may have on the performance of the Receivables is unclear, but there could be an adverse effect on general economic conditions, consumer confidence and general market liquidity. Investors should consider the possible effects on delinquency, default and prepayment experience of the Receivables. In particular, under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, members of the military on active duty, including reservists, who have entered into an obligation, such as a retail installment contract or retail installment loan for the purchase of a vehicle, before entering into military service may be entitled to reductions in interest rates to 6% and a stay of foreclosure and similar actions. In addition, pursuant to the laws of various states, under certain circumstances residents thereof called into active duty with the National Guard or the reserves can apply to a court to delay payments on retail installment contracts or

installment loans such as the Receivables. No information can be provided as to the number of Receivables that may be affected. If the Servicer reduces the APR or Principal Balance of a Receivable in accordance with the Servicer’s procedures for complying with the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act and any similar applicable state law, the Servicer will not be required to indemnify for any such reduced amounts and the Issuing Entity will bear the risk of any shortfalls. Any resulting shortfalls in interest or principal will reduce Available Funds and you may experience delays or reductions in payments on your Notes.

For more information regarding the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, see “Certain Regulatory Considerations—Consumer Protection Laws” and “The Receivables—Certain Legal Considerations of the Receivables—Other Matters.”

Lack of first priority liens on financed vehicles or the Receivables could make the Receivables uncollectible and reduce or delay payments on the Securities

Financing statements under the UCC will be filed reflecting the sale of the Receivables by Carvana to the Depositor, by the Depositor to the Issuing Entity, by the Issuing Entity to the Grantor Trust, and the pledge by the Issuing Entity of substantially all of its assets to the Indenture Trustee. The financing statements will perfect the security interests of the Depositor, the Issuing Entity, the Grantor Trust, and the Indenture Trustee in the Receivables. The security interest in the financed vehicles will be assigned also to the Grantor Trust. Due to the administrative burden and expenses, however, the certificates of title to the financed vehicles will not be amended or reissued to identify the Grantor Trust as the new secured party.

If the security interests in the financed vehicles as described in “The Receivables—Certain Legal Considerations of the Receivables —Security Interests in the Financed Vehicles” are not properly perfected, the interests of the Depositor, the Issuing Entity, Grantor Trust, and the Indenture Trustee in the financed vehicles would be subordinate to, among others, the following:

 

   

bankruptcy trustee of the obligor,

 

   

subsequent purchaser of the financed vehicle and

 

   

holder of a perfected security interest.

The Issuing Entity, the Grantor Trust, and the Indenture Trustee may not be able to collect on a Charged-Off Receivable in the absence of a perfected security interest in the related financed vehicle. Even if the Issuing Entity, the Grantor Trust, 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:

 

   

fraud or forgery by the vehicle owner,

 

   

negligence or fraud by the Servicer, the Collateral Custodian or another party,

 

   

mistakes by government agencies,

 

   

liens for repairs or unpaid taxes, and

 

   

confiscations of vehicles by the government.

See “The Receivables—Certain Legal Considerations of the Receivables —Security Interests in the Financed Vehicles.”

Carvana will be obligated to repurchase any Receivable as to which a perfected security interest in favor of the Depositor (or its affiliate) in the related financed vehicle did not exist and the interests of the investors, taken as a whole, in such Receivable are materially and adversely affected by such breach. The Servicer may be obligated to provide indemnification for actual losses on a Receivable if the security interest in a financed vehicle or the related Receivable becomes impaired. As a result of the foregoing, the Issuing Entity may not have a perfected interest in certain Receivables or its interest, although perfected, could be junior to that of another party. Either circumstance could affect the Servicer’s ability to repossess and sell the underlying financed vehicles. Therefore, you may be subject to delays in payment on your Securities and you may incur losses on your investment in the Securities.    

If the Collateral Custodian does not maintain control of the Receivables evidenced by electronic contracts, the Grantor Trust may not have a perfected interest in those Receivables

As described in “Underwriting of Receivables—Electronic Contracts and Electronic Contracting,” Carvana and the Collateral Custodian have contracted with an e-vault provider, a third-party provider of electronic transaction management product and services, to process the origination and execution of, to vault and to manage contracts in electronic form through its technology system. The e-vault provider’s systems are designed to enable Carvana (and its subsequent assignees) to perfect their respective interests in the Receivables evidenced by electronic contracts by satisfying the UCC’s requirements for “control” of electronic chattel paper. See “Underwriting of Receivables—Electronic Contracts and Electronic Contracting” for a discussion on the features of electronic contracts.

It is possible that another person could acquire an interest in an electronic contract that is superior to Carvana’s interest. This could occur if Carvana ceases to have “control” over the electronic contract that is maintained by Carvana or on behalf of Carvana and another party purchases that electronic contract (without knowledge that such purchase violates Carvana’s rights in the electronic contract) and obtains “control” over the electronic contract. Carvana also could lose control over an electronic contract if through fraud, forgery, negligence or error, or as a result of a computer virus or a failure of or weakness in the e-vault provider’s technology system, a person other than Carvana (or its assignees) were able to modify or duplicate the authoritative copy of the contract.

Table of Contents

Although Carvana will perfect the assignment of its interest in the electronic contracts to the Depositor, the Issuing Entity, the Grantor Trust and the Indenture Trustee by filing financing statements, the fact that Carvana’s interest in the Receivables may not be perfected by control may adversely affect the priority of the Issuing Entity’s interest in the Receivables, which may cause its interests in the Receivables junior to another party acquiring “control” over the electronic contract. Carvana and the Depositor will represent that Carvana has a perfected interest in the Receivables evidenced by electronic contracts by means of control and that such interest has been transferred to the Depositor and thereafter to the Issuing Entity and the Grantor Trust.

There can be no assurances that the e-vault provider’s technology system will perform as represented to Carvana in maintaining the systems and controls required to provide assurance that Carvana (and its subsequent assignees) maintains control over an electronic contract. In that event, there may be delays in obtaining copies of the electronic contract or confirming ownership and control of the electronic contract.

There has been limited legal interpretation of the UCC provisions governing perfection of a security interests in electronic contracts by control. As a result, there is a risk that the systems employed by the e-vault provider to maintain control of the electronic contracts may not be sufficient as a matter of law to give Carvana (and, accordingly, the Issuing Entity and the Grantor Trust) a perfected interest in the Receivables evidenced by electronic contracts.

As noted above, Carvana will file financing statements to perfect its assignment in the electronic contracts to the Depositor, the Issuing Entity and the Grantor Trust. The law governing the perfection of ownership and security interests in electronic contracts, electronic modifications and “control” has not been meaningfully tested in court. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that financing statements will be effective to perfect each party’s interest in any electronic contracts or electronic modifications of physical contracts.

Geographic concentrations of the Receivables may result in more risk to you and adversely affect payments on the Receivables and Notes

The Receivables related to obligors with mailing addresses in the following two states constituted the largest geographic concentrations as shown by percentage of Initial Pool Balance:

 

State

   Percentage of Initial Pool Balance  

Texas

     9.18

California

     8.67

If one or more of these states experience adverse economic changes (such as those precipitated by an increase in the unemployment rate, interest rates or the rate of inflation) and disruptions caused by directives (such as stay-at-home orders) intended to limit the spread of COVID-19 or mitigate the effects of COVID-19 and the related economic hardships (such as repossessions or creditors’ rights moratoriums) or extreme weather conditions or other natural events (such as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, drought, wildfires, mudslides, earthquakes and other extreme conditions) or significant changes in the political environment and public policy, including increased state, local or federal taxation, obligors in those states may be unable to make timely payments on their Receivables and you may experience payment delays on your Notes, acceleration of payments on the Notes resulting from prepayments using insurance proceeds or losses on your investment. We cannot predict, for any state or region, whether adverse economic changes or other adverse events will occur or to what extent those events would affect the Receivables or repayment of your Notes.

RISKS RELATED TO THE NOTES AND THE ISSUING ENTITY

Only the assets of the Issuing Entity are available to pay the Notes

The Notes represent indebtedness of the Issuing Entity and will not be insured or guaranteed by Carvana, the Depositor, the Grantor Trust, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Grantor Trust Trustee, the Collateral Custodian, the Asset Representations Reviewer, any of their respective affiliates, or any other person or entity other than the Issuing Entity. The Issuing Entity’s ability to make principal and interest payments on the Notes will depend on the amount of collections on the Receivables and, if and to the extent available, any credit or cash flow enhancement for the Issuing Entity. Therefore, you must rely solely on the assets of the Issuing Entity for repayment of your Notes.

If there are decreased collections, increased defaults or insufficient funds in the Reserve Account you may experience delays or reductions in payments on the Notes, may not receive back your full principal investment or all interest due to you and may suffer losses on your Notes.

The Overcollateralization Target Amount may not be reached or maintained

The amount of overcollateralization is expected to increase over time to the Overcollateralization Target Amount as excess collections are applied to make principal payments on the Notes (other than the Class N Notes) in an amount greater than the decrease in the Pool Balance. There can be no assurance, however, that the Overcollateralization Target Amount will be reached or maintained or that the Receivables will generate sufficient collections to pay the Notes in full.

See “Credit Enhancement—Overcollateralization” for a further discussion of overcollateralization.

Table of Contents

The amount on deposit in the Reserve Account may not be sufficient to assure payment of the Notes

The amount on deposit in the Reserve Account will be used to fund the payment of the Servicing Strip Amount, interest payments on the Notes (other than the Class N Notes), certain expenses of various service providers to the Issuing Entity, and certain distributions of principal on the Notes (other than the Class N Notes) on each Distribution Date if collections on the Receivables, including amounts recovered in connection with the repossession and sale of financed vehicles that secure Charged-Off Receivables, are not sufficient to make that payment. There can be no assurance that the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account will be sufficient on any Distribution Date to assure payment on the Notes (other than the Class N Notes). If the Receivables experience higher losses than were projected in determining the amount required to be on deposit in the Reserve Account, the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account may be insufficient to cover any shortfall in collections. If collections on the Receivables and any credit or cash flow enhancement, including the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account, are not sufficient on any Distribution Date to pay in full interest on the Notes (other than the Class N Notes), certain expenses, and certain distributions of principal on the Notes (other than the Class N Notes), you may experience payment delays with respect to your Notes. If the amount of that insufficiency is not offset by excess collections on the Receivables on subsequent Distribution Dates, you may experience losses with respect to your Notes.

See “Credit Enhancement—Reserve Account” for a further discussion of the Reserve Account.

You may receive an early return of your investment or incur a shortfall in the return of your investment following an Event of Default under the Indenture

If an Event of Default occurs under the Indenture, the Requisite Noteholders may declare the accrued interest and outstanding principal immediately due and payable. In that event, the Indenture Trustee may be directed to sell the Receivables and assets of the Issuing Entity and apply the proceeds to repay the Notes. The manner of sale will affect the amount of proceeds received and available for distribution. The liquidation and distribution of the Issuing Entity’s assets may result in an early return of principal to investors. You may not be able to reinvest the principal repaid to you for a rate of return or maturity date that is as favorable as those on your Notes. Also, the proceeds from sale of the Issuing Entity assets may not be sufficient to fully pay amounts owed on the Notes. Those circumstances may result in losses to certain investors. As long as a more senior class of Notes is outstanding, no holder of any subordinated class of Notes will be able to direct the Indenture Trustee’s actions and directions.

Some Notes have greater risk because they are subordinate to other classes of Notes

The Notes with a lower alphabetical designation are subordinated with respect to interest and principal payments to the Notes with a higher alphabetical designation. In addition, the Class A Notes with a higher numerical designation are generally subordinated with respect to principal payments to the Class A Notes with a lower numerical designation (the Class A-4 Notes are subordinated to the Class A-1, A-2 and A-3 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes are subordinated to the Class A-1 and A-2 Notes and the Class A-2 Notes are subordinated to the Class A-1 Notes). If the Notes have been accelerated following the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the priority of interest and principal distributions will change. The subordination arrangements could result in delays or reductions in interest or principal payments on classes of Notes with lower alphabetical designations or, in the case of the Class A Notes in certain circumstances, higher numerical designations.

See “Description of the Notes—Interest Payments,” “Description of the Notes—Payments of Principal,” “Distribution Date Payments” and “Distribution Date Payments—Distribution Date Payments After Acceleration of the Notes” for a further discussion of interest and principal payments.

You may suffer losses because you have limited control over actions of the Issuing Entity and conflicts between classes of Notes may occur

If an Event of Default under the Indenture has occurred, the Indenture Trustee will, at the direction of the Requisite Noteholders, take one or more of the actions specified in the Indenture relating to the property of the Issuing Entity. In addition, the Indenture Trustee may, and at the direction of the Requisite Noteholders will, have the right to terminate the Servicer and the Requisite Noteholders may waive any Servicer Termination Event. The Requisite Noteholders constitute a majority of the Controlling Class, and the interests of the Controlling Class may differ from the interests of the other classes of Notes. The Controlling Class will not be required to consider the effect of its actions on the holders of the other classes of Notes.

In particular, purchasers of the Class A Notes should be aware that, each class of the Class A Notes will vote together as a single class. Accordingly, for purposes of any direction of the Controlling Class, the holders of the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes or the Class A-4 Notes may be unable to independently give such direction without the support of holders of the other such Class.

See “The Transaction Documents— The Servicing Agreement and Servicing of the Receivables—Termination of the Servicer,” “The Transaction Documents— The Servicing Agreement and Servicing of the Receivables—Waiver of Servicer Termination Events” and “The Transaction Documents— Indenture—Events of Default” for a further discussion of the rights of the Noteholders with respect to events of servicing termination and Events of Default.

The clean-up call may not be exercised

The Servicer is not obligated to exercise its option to purchase the Receivables. If the Servicer does not exercise its option at the earliest date permissible or does not exercise its option at all, the aggregate amount and timing of distributions on the Securities will be slower and more uncertain than if the Servicer does exercise its option at the earliest date permissible, which may reduce the yield on your Notes. You will bear all risks resulting from whether the option is exercised by the Servicer or not and, if exercised, the timing of such exercise, and the amount paid by the Servicer in connection with its exercise of its purchase option.

Tax withholding obligations of the Issuing Entity may affect amounts distributable to investors

The Issuing Entity will take the position that its income will not be treated as effectively connected to a United States trade or business and each holder of the Certificates (a “Certificateholder”) that is also a Foreign Person is required to certify that such income is not effectively connected to a United States trade or business of such Foreign Person. Accordingly, the Issuing Entity will not withhold based on the income allocable to a Foreign Person Certificateholder. If a taxing authority successfully asserts that the income of the Issuing Entity is effectively connected to a United States trade or business or a Foreign Person Certificateholder treats the income as effectively connected to a United States trade or business, the Issuing Entity could be required to withhold based on the net income allocable to a Foreign Person Certificateholder. Such withholding may limit the amount of cash available to the Issuing Entity to make distributions to the investors in the Notes.

The Issuing Entity will take the position that state and local income taxes do not need to be withheld from distributions to Certificateholders with respect to Receivables originated (or currently located) in such jurisdictions. If a state or local taxing authority determines that such withholding is required by the Issuing Entity, or that tax, interest or penalties are owed by the Issuing Entity or tax matters partner, the Issuing Entity will be required to withhold such amounts from distributions to Certificateholders. Any amounts withheld could reduce the distributions otherwise payable to the investors in the Notes.

Certain requirements regarding securitization may result in reduced liquidity

Prospective investors should be aware of the EU Securitization Rules and the UK Securitization Rules, as described under “Certain Regulatory Considerations—EU Securitization Rules and UK Securitization Rules”.

Neither Carvana, the Depositor nor any other person intends, or is required under the Transaction Documents, to retain a material net economic interest in the securitization constituted by the issuance of the Securities, or to take any other action with regard to such securitization, in a manner prescribed or contemplated by the EU Securitization Rules or the UK Securitization Rules. In particular, no such person undertakes to take any action for purposes of, or in connection with, compliance by any person with any applicable requirement of, the EU Securitization Rules or the UK Securitization Rules.

The arrangements described under “Credit Risk Retention” have not been structured with the objective of ensuring compliance by any person with the requirements of the EU Securitization Rules or the UK Securitization Rules.

Failure by any investor that is (or may become) subject to the EU Securitization Rules or the UK Securitization Rules to comply with any applicable requirements of such rules with respect to an investment in the Securities may result in the imposition of a penalty regulatory capital charge on that investment or of other regulatory sanctions and remedial measures. Consequently, the Securities may not be a suitable investment for any such investor. As a result, the price and liquidity of the Securities in the secondary market may be adversely affected.

In addition, there is no guidance from any US regulatory agency as to which terms and conditions of certain methods of financing arrangements comply or do not comply with Regulation RR. See “Credit Risk Retention.” Failure to comply with Regulation RR may negatively affect the Sponsor, which may reduce the value of your Securities.

RISKS RELATED TO THE TRANSACTION PARTIES

Bankruptcy or insolvency of Carvana could adversely affect the performance, liquidity and market value of the Securities

If Carvana filed for bankruptcy under the Bankruptcy Code or any state insolvency laws, a court may:

 

   

consolidate the assets and liabilities of Carvana with those of the Depositor,

 

   

decide that the sale of the Receivables to the Depositor was not a “true sale” or

 

   

disallow a transfer of Receivables made by Carvana to the Depositor prior to the bankruptcy.

If the assets and liabilities of Carvana were consolidated with those of the Depositor or the Receivables became part of Carvana’s bankruptcy estate, you might experience reductions or delays in payments on your Securities.

The replacement of the Servicer may reduce or delay payments on the Securities

If Bridgecrest were to cease acting as Servicer for any reason, collection practices of a successor servicer (which, under certain circumstances, may be the Backup Servicer) may vary from those of Bridgecrest. In addition, after a successor servicer is appointed, the successor servicer may experience some inefficiencies as a result of the transition. If Bridgecrest were to become incapable of acting as servicer, and a successor servicer had not yet accepted appointment, and the Backup Servicer failed to satisfy its obligations to act as replacement servicer, there could be a disruption in servicing that could result in a delay or decrease in collections on the Receivables.

 

13


Table of Contents

It may become increasingly difficult to identify a qualified successor servicer other than the Backup Servicer because the Servicing Strip Amount is calculated as a percentage of the Pool Balance and some cost components of servicing are fixed; consequently, as the pool amortizes, the Servicing Strip Amount will diminish at a greater rate than the cost of servicing. For the foregoing reasons, if there is a need to replace the Servicer, you may experience delays or reductions in the payments on your Securities.

Carvana and the Depositor have limited obligations to the Issuing Entity and they will not make payments on the Securities

Carvana, the Depositor and their respective affiliates other than the Issuing Entity are generally not obligated to make any payments on the Securities and do not guarantee payments on the Receivables or the Notes. Carvana will make representations and warranties regarding the characteristics of the Receivables. If Carvana breaches these representations and warranties, it may be required to repurchase the applicable Receivables. If Carvana fails to repurchase the applicable Receivables, as and when required, investors might experience reductions or delays in payments on the Notes. See “The Transaction Documents—Repurchases of Receivables.

The Servicer’s discretion over the servicing of the Receivables, including the sale of Charged-Off 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 servicing practices and applicable law, subject to limitations regarding permitted modifications. The Servicer has discretion in servicing the Receivables, including the ability to grant payment extensions, to sell Charged-Off Receivables and to determine the timing and method of collection and liquidation procedures. See “The Transaction Documents—The Servicing Agreement and Servicing of the Receivables—Modifications” The Servicer, in its own discretion, may permit an extension on or a deferral of payments due or halt repossession activity on a case-by-case basis or more broadly in accordance with its customary servicing practices, for example, in connection with a natural disaster or public health emergency affecting a large group of obligors. During the early stages of the COVID-19 outbreak, the Servicer experienced a sharp increase in requests for extensions and modifications related to COVID-19 nationwide and a significant number of such extensions and modifications were granted. Although the frequency of requests for extensions and modifications has since declined, there may be a sharp increase in requests from obligors for extensions and modifications related to COVID-19 or general financial hardship in the future. Further, following the start of the COVID-19 outbreak, the Servicer temporarily suspended involuntary repossession activities nationwide as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. Although the Servicer has since resumed involuntary repossession activity where permitted by local law, it may elect (or be required) to again suspend such activity at any time in the future. See “—Adverse events arising from the Coronavirus outbreak could result in delays in payment or losses on your Securities.” There are additional requirements with respect to the exercise of this discretion because the entity owning the receivables is a grantor trust. The manner in which the Servicer exercises its discretion could have an impact on the amount and timing of collections on Receivables and, consequently, the amount and timing of Available Funds available to make payments on the Securities.

Additionally, if the Servicer breaches certain covenants with respect to the servicing of the Receivables, the Servicer may be required to indemnify for actual losses related to such Receivables. If the Servicer fails to pay for such actual losses, as and when required, investors might experience reductions or delays in payments on the Securities. See “The Transaction Documents—The Servicing Agreement and the Servicing of the Receivables.”

Temporary commingling of funds by the Servicer prior to their deposit into the Collection Account may result in losses or delays in payment on the Securities

The Servicer receives collections on the Receivables into accounts of the Servicer, or an affiliate of the Servicer, that contains other funds of the Servicer and amounts collected by the Servicer in respect of receivables other than the Receivables. In general, the Servicer is not required to transfer the funds to the Collection Account until two Business Days following identification. This temporary commingling of funds prior to the deposit of collections on the Receivables into the Collection Account may result in a delay or reduction in the amounts available to make payments on the Notes if the Servicer or the affiliate of the Servicer which maintains the account into which the collection on the Receivables are deposited were to become subject to a bankruptcy proceeding (in which case, those funds may be subject to the automatic stay under the bankruptcy laws or subject to competing claims by other creditors of the Servicer or owners of other receivables).

You may suffer losses on your investment because the Indenture Trustee does not have a direct perfected security interest in the financed vehicles underlying the Receivables

Payments on the Securities depend on collections on the Receivables and, in the case of non-payment of Receivables, the proceeds from the sale of the related financed vehicles. Each of the Depositor, the Issuing Entity, the Grantor Trust, and the Indenture Trustee derives its indirect perfected security interest in any financed vehicle through one or more assignments, commencing with an assignment from Carvana to the Depositor. In the event of a bankruptcy of Carvana, the Indenture Trustee may be hindered or delayed in its ability to enforce its rights in the financed vehicles relating to a defaulted Receivable because the Indenture Trustee is not the secured party of record. Those hindrances and delays may result in a shortfall in liquidation proceeds available to repay investors. As a result, under those circumstances, investors may experience a loss or delay in repayment of principal on the Notes and distributions on the Certificates.

Adverse events with respect to Carvana, the Servicer, any of their respective affiliates or the other transaction parties could affect the timing or amount of payments on your Notes or distributions on the Certificates or have other adverse effects on your Securities

Adverse events with respect to Carvana, the Servicer, the other transaction parties, their respective affiliates or a third-party provider to whom the Servicer or the other transaction parties outsource their activities may result in servicing or other disruptions or reduce the market value of the Securities. Servicing disruptions could result from unanticipated events beyond the Servicer’s control, such as natural disasters, civil unrest, public health emergencies (including COVID-19 or similar outbreaks) and economic disruptions, which could adversely impact the Servicer’s ability to operate its business or could cause a disruption in collection activities (including repossessions) and therefore delinquencies and credit losses could increase. Neither Carvana nor the Servicer can predict how the COVID-19 outbreak and the legal and regulatory responses to the COVID-19 outbreak and related economic disruptions will affect its respective businesses, including its liquidity or the ability to access the capital markets. If Carvana’s or the Servicer’s access to funding is reduced or if its costs to obtain such funding significantly increases, Carvana’s or the Servicer’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Carvana will be required to repurchase certain Receivables that do not comply with representations and warranties made by Carvana and make refunds of cancelled ancillary product premiums and the Servicer will be required to indemnify for actual losses on such Receivables in connection with the Servicer’s breach of specific servicing obligations. If Carvana were to become unable to repurchase Receivables that do not comply with representations and warranties made by Carvana and Carvana or the Servicer were unable to indemnify the Issuing Entity, investors could suffer losses. No assurances can be given as to Carvana’s or the Servicer’s future financial ability to perform any repurchase or indemnification obligations. In addition, adverse corporate developments with respect to sponsors 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. If Carvana or the Servicer faced financial, reputational, regulatory or operational difficulties, those events may reduce the market value of your Securities.

Likewise, the Issuing Entity’s ability to make payments on the Notes, and accordingly the market value of your Securities, may be adversely impacted in the event the other transaction parties or a third-party provider to whom the other transaction parties outsource their activities experience losses, regulatory action, litigation, systems breakdown or other difficulties. In particular, as described in greater detail in “Indenture Trustee and Collateral Custodian”, Wells Fargo & Company consummated the sale of substantially all of its Corporate Trust Services business to Computershare Limited on November 1, 2021. In addition, there can be no assurances that the Indenture Trustee and Collateral Custodian could be replaced (whether in a timely manner or at all), even if this becomes necessary, or that any replacement would be able to perform such roles with the same degree of skill and care as necessary. Should circumstances so unfold, the market value of your Securities and any repayment prospects thereon may be adversely affected.

Federal financial and state regulatory reform could have an adverse impact on Carvana, the Depositor, or the Issuing Entity

The Dodd-Frank Act is extensive legislation that effects financial institutions and other non-bank financial companies, such as Carvana. The Dodd-Frank Act also effect the offering, marketing and regulation of consumer financial products and services and increases regulation of the securitization and derivatives markets. Many rules under the Dodd-Frank Act have been implemented by various federal regulatory agencies but, in some cases, the applicable rules have not become effective or additional rulemaking required under the Dodd-Frank Act has not been completed. Therefore, the full effect 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 effect on Carvana, the Depositor, the Issuing Entity, the Grantor Trust, or the Servicer, including on the servicing of the Receivables, or the price that a subsequent purchaser would be willing to pay for the Securities.

The Dodd-Frank Act also created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the “CFPB”), a federal regulator, with rulemaking and enforcement authority over consumer finance businesses.

The Dodd-Frank Act created an alternative liquidation framework under which the FDIC may be appointed as receiver for the resolution of a non-bank financial company if the company is in default or in danger of default and the resolution of the company under other applicable law would have serious adverse effects on financial stability in the United States. There can be no assurance that this liquidation framework would not apply to Carvana, the Depositor, or the Issuing Entity, although we expect that the framework will be invoked only very rarely. Guidance from the FDIC indicates that this framework will be exercised in a manner consistent with the existing bankruptcy laws, which is the insolvency regime which would otherwise apply to Carvana, the Depositor, and the Issuing Entity. If the FDIC were appointed as receiver for Carvana, the Depositor, or the Issuing Entity, or if future regulations or subsequent FDIC actions are contrary to the FDIC guidance, you may experience losses or delays in payments on your Securities.

See Certain Regulatory Considerations—The Dodd-Frank Act” for further discussion of the alternative liquidation framework established by the Dodd-Frank Act for certain non-bank financial companies.

Each of the transaction parties relies on software and systems that are highly technical, and if the systems contain undetected errors or are damaged, the transaction parties’ ability to perform their obligations under the Transaction Documents could be adversely affected

Each of the transaction parties uses management information systems and software that are highly complex to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents and hold certain electronic files. These parties rely on the ability of such systems to store, retrieve, process and manage substantial amounts of data. These systems are subject to damage or interruption from:

 

   

power loss, computer systems failures and internet, telecommunications or data network failures,

 

15


Table of Contents
   

operator negligence or improper operation by, or supervision of, employees or contractors,

 

   

physical and electronic loss of data or security breaches, misappropriation and similar events,

 

   

computer bugs, viruses and errors,

 

   

code production errors, including bugs and deployment errors,

 

   

cyberattacks, intentional acts of vandalism and similar events, and

 

   

hurricanes, earthquakes, fires, floods and other natural disasters.

Any failure of these systems due to any of their designated functions could cause an interruption in operations, could adversely affect such party’s ability to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents and could result in reduced collections on the Receivables. In particular, if the Servicer were to experience any significant interruptions or losses in its information processing capabilities, the Servicer’s ability to effectively service the Receivables could be materially and adversely affected.

Though the parties have implemented contingency and disaster recovery processes in the event of one or several technology failures, any unforeseen failure, interruption or compromise of these systems or security measures could affect its collection on the Receivables. The risk of possible failures or interruptions may not be adequately addressed, and such failures or interruptions could occur.

In addition, errors in Carvana’s internal systems may cause Receivables to have been improperly underwritten and, as a result, the payment of the Notes may be delayed or otherwise adversely affected, which could result in losses on the Notes.

GENERAL RISK FACTORS

Lack of liquidity in the secondary market, volatility and financial market disruptions may adversely affect the market value of the Offered Notes and your ability to resell the Offered Notes

The Offered Notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. Therefore, in order to resell the Offered Notes, you will need to find a willing buyer. The underwriters of the Offered Notes may participate in making a secondary market in the Offered Notes but are under no obligation to do so. We cannot assure you that a secondary market will develop or, if it does develop, that it will continue or be sufficiently liquid to permit the resale of the Offered Notes. The secondary market for asset-backed securities generally has experienced, and may continue to experience, reduced liquidity. Any period of illiquidity may adversely affect the market value of the Offered Notes and, in some circumstances, you may not be able to resell the Offered Notes when you want to do so. Illiquidity can have a severe adverse effect on the prices of securities that are especially sensitive to prepayment, credit or interest rate risk on the underlying assets, such as the Receivables underlying the Notes and consequently the Notes themselves. As a result, you may be unable to obtain the price that you wish to receive for the Offered Notes or you may suffer a loss on your investment. Even if a sufficiently liquid secondary market develops, the market values of the Offered Notes are likely to fluctuate from time to time. These fluctuations may be significant and could result in significant losses on the Offered Notes.

Additionally, events in the global financial markets, including the failure, acquisition or government seizure of major financial institutions, the establishment of government bailout programs for financial institutions, problems related to financial assets, the de-valuation of various assets in secondary markets, the forced sale of asset-backed and other securities as a result of the de-leveraging of structured investment vehicles, hedge funds, financial institutions and other entities, the lowering of ratings on certain asset-backed securities and the exit of the United Kingdom (the “UK”) from the European Union (“EU”) (and the potential exit of any other country from the EU) have caused, and could in the future cause, a significant reduction in liquidity in the secondary market for asset-backed securities. Such market declines or disruptions could adversely affect the liquidity of, and market for, the Offered Notes independent of the performance of the Receivables. A period of illiquidity following market declines or disruptions may adversely affect both the market value of the Offered Notes and your ability to resell the Offered Notes.

Retained Notes may reduce the liquidity of your notes and subsequent sales by the Depositor may adversely affect their value

Some or all of the Notes may initially be retained by the Depositor or one or more majority affiliates thereof on the Closing Date, and, in any event, a portion of each class of Notes will be retained by Carvana or one or more of its majority-owned affiliates in satisfaction of Carvana’s risk retention obligations described under “Credit Risk Retention”. A significant reduction in liquidity in the secondary market for any classes of such retained Notes may result if the Depositor retains any class or classes of such Notes. In addition, if any retained Notes are subsequently sold by the Depositor, the demand and the market price of the Notes already in the market could be adversely affected.

The ratings for the Notes are limited in scope, may be unsolicited, may not continue to be issued and do not consider the suitability of the Notes for you

We expect to hire two rating agencies to rate the Offered Notes for the Issuing Entity. The Notes may receive a rating from a rating agency not hired to rate the Notes. A rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold the Notes. The rating considers only the likelihood that the Issuing Entity will pay interest on time and will ultimately pay principal in full and are solely the view of the assigning rating agency and are subject to any limitations that the assigning rating agency may impose. Ratings on the Notes do not address the

 

16


Table of Contents

timing of distributions of principal on the Notes prior to their applicable Final Scheduled Distribution Date. The ratings do not consider the prices of the Notes or their suitability to a particular investor. To the extent the Notes are rated by any rating agency, that rating agency may change or withdraw 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 or withdrawal of 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. Rating agencies not hired to rate the Notes may provide an unsolicited rating that is different from or lower than the ratings provided by the rating agencies hired to rate the Notes. If a Hired Rating Agency issues a rating lower than the solicited ratings, changes its rating or withdraws its rating, no party has an obligation to provide additional credit enhancement or to restore the original rating. None of Carvana, the Depositor, the Servicer or any of their respective affiliates is under any obligation to monitor or disclose any changes to the ratings. There may be a conflict of interest for the Hired Rating Agency because Carvana paid the fee charged by each Hired Rating Agency for its rating services. Additionally, if any rating agency provides an unsolicited rating that is lower than the ratings provided by the rating agencies hired to rate the Notes, the market value of the Notes may be adversely affected. None of Carvana, the Depositor, the Servicer, the underwriters, or any of their affiliates will have any obligation to inform you of any unsolicited ratings assigned to the Notes, and these parties may be aware of unsolicited ratings assigned to the Notes. 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 Rating Agencies, which could adversely affect the market value of your Notes or limit your ability to resell your Notes. In addition, if Carvana fails to make available to any non-hired rating agency any information provided to any Hired Rating Agency for the purpose of assigning or monitoring the ratings on the Notes, a Hired Rating Agency could withdraw its ratings on the Notes, which could adversely affect the market value of your Notes or limit your ability to resell your Notes. Moreover, criminal, civil, or regulatory actions or other events adverse to a Hired Rating Agency may have a detrimental effect on the credibility of such Hired Rating Agency’s ratings, which could have an adverse effect on the market value of your Notes. Prospective investors in the Notes are urged to make their own evaluation of the creditworthiness of the Receivables and the credit enhancement on the Notes and not to rely solely on the ratings on the Notes.

SPONSOR

Carvana is a leading e-commerce platform for buying and selling used cars. Carvana is transforming the used car buying and selling experience by giving consumers what they want—a wide selection, transparent pricing, and a simple, no-pressure transaction. Each element of its business, from inventory procurement to fulfillment and overall ease of the online transaction, has been built for this singular purpose.

Carvana provides refreshingly different and convenient experiences for used car buying and selling that can save customers time and money. On its platform, consumers can research and identify a vehicle, inspect it using Carvana’s patented 360-degree vehicle imaging technology, obtain financing and warranty coverage, purchase the vehicle, and schedule delivery or pick-up, all from their desktop or mobile devices. Alternatively, a customer can obtain a firm offer online for their vehicle by answering a few questions without needing to provide photos or service records. Carvana’s transaction technologies and online platform transform a traditionally time-consuming process by allowing customers to secure financing, complete a purchase or sale, and schedule delivery or pick-up online in as little as 10 minutes.

Carvana’s technology and infrastructure allow it to seamlessly and cost efficiently deliver this experience to its customers. Carvana uses proprietary algorithms to optimize its nationally pooled inventory of over 30,000 vehicles, inspect and recondition vehicles based on its 150-point inspection process, and operate its own logistics network to deliver cars directly to customers as soon as the next day. Customers in certain markets also have the option to pick up their vehicle at one of Carvana’s patented vending machines, which provides an exciting pick-up experience for the customer while decreasing Carvana’s variable costs, increasing scalability and building brand awareness.

The automotive retail industry’s large size, fragmentation, and lack of differentiated offerings present an opportunity for disruption. Carvana has demonstrated that its custom-built business model can capitalize on this opportunity. Carvana’s sales have grown as it increased its market penetration in current markets and added new markets. Carvana’s in-house distribution network services hundreds of metropolitan markets, and Carvana plans to continue to expand its network into additional markets. Since February 2013, Carvana has also offered and originated loans to consumers.

Since 2015, Carvana has entered into various agreements under which it sells Receivables to third parties. Since 2019, Carvana has completed thirteen securitizations. This is Carvana’s ninth public securitization transaction and its fifth securitization transaction secured primarily by prime Receivables. Carvana utilizes the same origination procedures and systems for all of its receivables; Bridgecrest services all of the receivables originated by Carvana, including receivables sold or securitized by Carvana.

See “Underwriting of Receivables” for a discussion of Carvana’s experience with and overall procedures for underwriting Receivables. See “Historical Performance—Delinquencies and Net Losses” for information regarding historical performance of auto receivables originated by Carvana.

Carvana has ongoing obligations to repurchase certain Receivables and to authorize, execute or file financing statements relating to the Receivables, as further described in “The Transaction Documents.” In addition, as described under “Credit Risk Retention,” Carvana or a majority-owned affiliate of Carvana will retain at least 5% of each class of Notes and the certificates to satisfy Carvana’s obligations under Regulation RR.

Carvana, in its capacity as Administrator of the Issuing Entity, will enter into the Administration Agreement with the Issuing Entity, the Grantor Trust and the Indenture Trustee pursuant to which Carvana, as Administrator, will agree, to the extent provided in the Administration Agreement, to provide the notices and to perform other administrative obligations required by the Indenture, the Trust Agreement and the Grantor Trust Agreement. As compensation for the performance of the Administrator’s obligations under the Administration Agreement and as reimbursement for its expenses thereto, Carvana, as Administrator, will be entitled to an administration fee.

Carvana was formed on March 9, 2012 as an Arizona limited liability company. Carvana’s principal executive offices are located at 1930 W. Rio Salado Parkway, Tempe, Arizona 85281, and its telephone number is (480) 719-8809. Carvana, LLC is indirectly owned by Carvana Co.

DEPOSITOR

The Depositor is organized for the limited purpose of purchasing motor vehicle receivables and associated rights, transferring such purchased assets, forming trusts, and other subsidiaries and engaging in similar activities for multiple securitizations of motor vehicle receivables on an ongoing basis.

The Depositor will acquire the Receivables from Carvana under the Receivables Purchase Agreement and will make various representations and warranties about the origination, characteristics, and transfers of the Receivables to the Issuing Entity under the Receivables Transfer Agreement. If these representations and warranties are breached and not cured and such breach materially and adversely affects the interests of the investors, taken as a whole, the Issuing Entity will have the right under the Receivables Transfer Agreement to require the Depositor to repurchase the relevant Receivables.

In the ordinary course of business, The Bank of New York Mellon, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., and BNY Mellon Trust of Delaware (collectively, “BNY Mellon”) are named as a defendant in legal actions. In connection with its role as trustee of certain residential mortgage-backed securitizations (“RMBS”) transactions, BNY Mellon has been named as a defendant in a number of legal actions brought by RMBS investors. These lawsuits allege that the trustee had expansive duties under the governing agreements, including the duty to investigate and pursue breach of representation and warranty claims against other parties to the RMBS transactions. While it is inherently difficult to predict the eventual outcomes of pending actions, BNY Mellon denies liability and intends to defend the litigations vigorously.

Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Owner Trustee will perform limited administrative functions of the Issuing Entity including the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and any related certificate or other document to which the Issuing Entity is a party. The Owner Trustee will also direct the Indenture Trustee to authenticate and deliver the Notes and will be authorized but not obligated to take all other actions required of the Issuing Entity pursuant to the Transaction Documents.

The Owner Trustee’s liability in connection with the issuance and sale of the Securities is limited solely to the express obligations of the Owner Trustee set forth in the Trust Agreement governing the Issuing Entity. The Owner Trustee will not be liable for the default or failure of any of Carvana, the Issuing Entity, the Grantor Trust, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the Collateral Custodian, the Independent Accountant or other trustees to carry out their respective obligations under any of the Transaction Documents, nor will the Owner Trustee be liable under any Transaction Document under any circumstances, except for such liability and losses due to its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence (except errors in judgment) or from a breach of representation or warranties regarding itself in the Trust Agreement.

The Grantor Trust Trustee’s liability in connection with the issuance and sale of the Notes and certificates is limited solely to the express obligations of the Grantor Trust Trustee set forth in the Grantor Trust Agreement governing the Grantor Trust. The Grantor Trust Trustee will not be liable for the default or failure of any of the Administrator, the Issuing Entity, the Grantor Trust, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the Collateral Custodian, the Independent Accountant or other trustees to carry out their respective obligations under any of the Transaction Documents, nor will the Grantor Trust Trustee be liable under any Transaction Document under any circumstances, except for such liability and losses due to its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence (except errors in judgment) or from a breach of representation or warranties regarding itself in the Grantor Trust Agreement.

The Owner Trustee may resign at any time, in which event Carvana, or a successor administrator, will be obligated to appoint a successor owner trustee. Carvana or the Depositor may also remove the Owner Trustee if the Owner Trustee ceases to be eligible to continue as owner trustee under the Trust Agreement or if the Owner Trustee becomes insolvent. In those circumstances, Carvana, or a successor administrator, will be obligated to appoint a successor owner trustee. Any resignation or removal of an owner trustee and appointment of a successor owner trustee will not become effective until acceptance of the appointment by the successor owner trustee. Costs associated with the termination of the Owner Trustee and the appointment of a successor will be borne by the Issuing Entity.

The Grantor Trust Trustee may resign at any time, in which event Carvana, or a successor administrator, will be obligated to appoint a successor grantor trustee.

In those circumstances, Carvana, or a successor administrator, will be obligated to appoint a successor grantor trust trustee. Any resignation or removal of a grantor trust trustee and appointment of a successor grantor trust trustee will not become effective until acceptance of the appointment by the successor grantor trust trustee.

UNDERWRITING OF RECEIVABLES

Application and Purchase Process

Carvana’s credit application volume consists exclusively of customers seeking financing for the purchase of a vehicle from Carvana. Approximately 80% of Carvana’s retail unit sales are directly financed by Carvana.

At any time during the shopping experience, customers may submit a pre-qualification application in order to receive precise, conditionally approved financing offers on all vehicles in Carvana’s available inventory. The application captures basic customer identity, contact, and income information that enables Carvana to obtain data about the customer from its credit data partners. Within seconds of pre-qualification application submission, Carvana’s data partners provide it with third-party credit scores, such as FICO, as well as raw credit and alternative data that Carvana uses in its proprietary risk models, which are described below. Carvana’s proprietary financing technology quickly iterates through each vehicle in its inventory to calculate personalized financing offers for the customer based on customer-specific attributes, such as CarvanaScore, income, and state of residence, as well as vehicle-specific attributes, such as price, mileage, and model year.

Customers who submit a pre-qualification application will see personalized financing terms, which are automatically generated through Carvana’s proprietary financing technology, displayed alongside vehicle pricing information on both Carvana’s search and vehicle detail pages. This calculation of offers on all vehicles in Carvana’s available inventory allows customers to leverage Carvana’s search page to rapidly identify vehicles that both meet desired vehicle criteria and monthly payment and down payment options. Once a customer has identified a vehicle of interest, he or she can choose from hundreds of permutations, specific to such customer, of down payment amount, monthly payment, interest rate, and term offered by Carvana on that specific vehicle, providing the customers with flexibility in choosing their financing options.

After selecting a vehicle, customers begin the “Purchase Process”, a series of steps that allows the customer to complete a purchase in a little as 10 minutes. During the Purchase Process, the customer will:

 

   

Review and select ancillary product options, including vehicle service contracts and GAP waiver coverage,

 

   

Value and apply a trade-in to the purchase, if desired,

 

   

Upload images of requested documents, such as his or her driver’s license or recent paystubs,

 

   

Provide bank account information for making the down payment and, if desired, enroll in auto-pay on the loan, and

 

   

Schedule the date, time, and location of the delivery of the purchased vehicle, including whether the vehicle is to be picked-up at one of Carvana’s patented car vending machine locations or delivered to the customer’s home.

The Purchase Process culminates in the customer confirming his or her order and financing application. Based on the information Carvana collects through the pre-qualification application and Purchase Process, Carvana’s proprietary financing technology automatically assesses the credit risk of the customer and determines the final terms of the financing offered by Carvana to the customer. Order confirmation triggers the generation of electronic contracts that the customer can sign immediately and must sign in advance of delivery, marking the beginning of Carvana’s Verification Process. None of the Receivables in the Pool were originated with exceptions to Carvana’s written underwriting guidelines or automated underwriting process.

Verification Process

Carvana has established a centralized “Verification Process” in which every order placed in the Purchase Process is verified by a team of specialized employees at its headquarters in Tempe, Arizona. In accordance with Carvana’s policies and procedures, all orders must successfully pass verification tests related to identity, income, employment, insurance, availability of down payment funds (if applicable), and residency prior to delivery of the vehicle and origination of the loan.

The Verification Process utilizes both manual and technology-enabled processes. For example, certain customers with lower expected credit risk may be eligible to pass income and employment verification tests based on information available from Carvana’s data partners, while other customers may be asked to provide paystubs, bank statements, or other information for manual verification of income and employment. Identity verification is a critical component of Carvana’s Verification Process, and generally involves review and image capture of the customer’s driver’s license by a Carvana employee at time of delivery, a web-based identity verification questionnaire, and review of identity information provided by Carvana’s data partners.

In addition to the verification processes described above, Carvana has developed multiple tools and processes to mitigate the risk of fraud in the origination process. One such tool is Carvana’s proprietary “FraudScore” model, which combines credit and alternative data obtained from data partners, details of the customer’s order and other proprietary data to score orders based on the risk of fraud. FraudScore highlights orders for additional review and diligence by specially-trained members of Carvana’s verifications team. Carvana’s “Red Flags” process involves comparison of information provided by the customer in the application with information obtained from data partners to detect inconsistencies which must be evaluated and cleared through research using vendor tools or additional documentation provided by the customer.

Delivery and Post-Sale

Carvana allows customers to pick-up vehicles from any of its patented car vending machine locations and provides as soon as next-day home delivery using its fulfillment network and delivery advocate employees to customers who live in one of Carvana’s established delivery markets. During the delivery, images of the customer’s driver’s license and proof of insurance are captured and reviewed by a Carvana employee. The customer and delivery advocate complete any outstanding paperwork, including execution of a title application and other documents needed to perfect Carvana’s security interest in the vehicle, which are then sent to Carvana’s headquarters in Tempe, Arizona for processing.

Every Carvana purchase comes with a “7 Day Money Back Guarantee”, which allows the customer to return the vehicle within seven days of purchase. When a vehicle is returned, the associated retail installment contract is voided and any accrued interest is waived. Generally, upon expiration of the seven day period, if the customer has decided to keep the vehicle, a team of Carvana employees initiate the title and registration process. Information regarding the motor vehicle receivable (including with respect to the related obligor and financed vehicle) is sent by Carvana to Bridgecrest for onboarding, together with copies (but not the originals) of the contract and certain related documentation.

Proprietary Risk Models

Carvana has developed multiple proprietary risk models to support various aspects of its vertically integrated automotive lending business.

Carvana utilizes a custom credit risk model in addition to traditional third-party credit scores such as FICO for the purpose of evaluating credit risk and determining financing offers. Carvana’s primary credit risk model, CarvanaScore, incorporates traditional and non-traditional data from multiple third party data partners. CarvanaScore has been developed exclusively on loan performance data from past Carvana originations, and places emphasis on customer attributes that Carvana’s sophisticated, machine learning techniques have found to be most predictive of loan performance. The model is significantly more predictive than third-party credit scores on Carvana’s customer population, and has been validated out of time and out of model training sample on both Carvana and non-Carvana originated loans.

Carvana has also developed a “Deal Score” model for internal and external reporting and portfolio monitoring purposes. The Deal Score model produces scores that range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating lower expected risk of negative loan performance. Deal Score combines a customer’s CarvanaScore with deal-specific attributes, such as down payment, monthly payment amounts, payment-to-income ratio and vehicle characteristics, to enhance predictive power. Like CarvanaScore, Deal Score has been developed exclusively on Carvana loan performance data.

All proprietary risk models used in Carvana’s lending business are regularly monitored and tested. The risk models are updated from time to time to adjust for new performance data, changes in customer and economic trends, and additional sources of third party data.

Security Interest in Vehicles

Each motor vehicle receivable underwritten by Carvana in connection with the sale of a used motor vehicle is secured by that vehicle. For more information, see “The Receivables—Certain Legal Considerations of the Receivables—Security Interests in the Financed Vehicles.”

Electronic Contracts and Electronic Contracting

Carvana employs electronic contracting under which the related contracts are evidenced by an electronic record and are electronically signed by the related obligors. Carvana contracts with third parties to facilitate the process of creating and storing such electronic contracts in an electronic vault maintained by a third-party on behalf of Carvana. These third-party’s technology systems permit transmission, storage, access and administration of electronic contracts and is comprised of proprietary and third-party software, hardware, network communications equipment, lines and services, computer servers, data centers, support and maintenance services, security devices and other related technology that enable electronic contracting in the automobile retail industry.

The electronic vaulting system uses a combination of technological and administrative features that are designed to (i) designate a single copy of the record or records comprising an electronic contract as being the single authoritative copy of the Receivable, (ii) manage access to and the expression of the authoritative copy, (iii) identify Carvana as the owner of record of the authoritative copy and (iv) provide a means for transferring record ownership of, and the exclusive right of access to, the authoritative copy from the current owner of record to a successor owner of record.

SERVICING PROCEDURES

The Servicer will be responsible for servicing and making collections on the Receivables. The Servicer’s duties will include collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of obligors, pursuing delinquencies, recovery and remarketing of vehicles if required, making available payment or other information to obligors, accounting for collections, administering insurance claim filings and providing monthly reports.

The Servicer will generally be required to service the Receivables in accordance with its customary servicing practices, which are the customary servicing practices of the Servicer with respect to all comparable motor vehicle receivables that the Servicer services for itself or others, as such practices may be changed from time to time. The following discussion is a brief description of certain of the customary servicing practices, including the written servicing policy and procedures, of Bridgecrest applicable to its role as Servicer. The Servicer modifies these servicing practices from time to time to comply with applicable regulatory requirements and guidance. The Servicer most recently modified its written servicing policy and procedures in July 2020; however, the modifications to the written policy and procedures did not result in any material modifications to the Servicer’s servicing practices. In addition, the Servicer reviews its servicing practices periodically and revises them to improve the effectiveness or efficiency of its servicing and collection activities.

Payment Channels and Methods

The Servicer maintains a website where obligors can access information about their accounts. Obligors have a variety of available payment options, including through an online portal, by phone with a representative or through an automated phone system, mail, an app and third-party payment processing services. Currently, debit card, credit card, check (through mail) and automated clearing house (“ACH”) payments are accepted through these payment avenues. The Servicer continually evaluates emerging trends and payment technologies and may modify its accepted payment methods from those described above.

Payment Application and Partial Payments

Unless otherwise required by law or the applicable contract, payments received on an obligor’s account are generally applied in the following order: past due interest, past due principal, current scheduled payments, any assessed late fees and non-sufficient fund (“NSF”) fees and then to future scheduled payments. An obligor must pay at least 90% of a scheduled payment and all past due amounts to be considered current. The Servicer may waive accumulated late fees, NSF fees and other Supplemental Servicing Fees in its discretion and in accordance with its servicing practices.

Collections

The Servicer maintains its primary servicing centers in Mesa, Arizona and Dallas, Texas. In addition, the Servicer continues to invest in and consider alternate strategies for its servicing functions, including work-from-home options, and may have agents performing certain servicing functions from remote or alternate locations. The mission of the Servicer’s loan servicing department is to assist obligors to remain current on their payments. The Servicer generally works with obligors that are having difficulties making payments to bring the account current by either securing a payment or creating a plan to bring the account current. The loan servicing department is organized into several different teams based on payment and delinquency stage. The front end collections group generally handles delinquencies by contacting obligors and responding to inbound calls. The mid-range group relies primarily on contacting obligors with the goal of determining if the obligor is eligible for payment assistance (such as an extension). A late-stage collections group will continue to work with obligors to determine when the related vehicles should be assigned for repossession and/or reinstated.

Modification of Contracts-Due Date Changes and Extensions

The Servicer may change the due dates for payments to accommodate the date the obligor feels best suits its ability to make timely payments. Due date changes generally are not treated as extensions.

The Servicer’s servicing policy and procedures sets forth requirements for when the term of a receivable may be extended. Extensions are granted when an obligor’s payments are deferred to the end of the term to bring the account current. This extends the contract maturity date but does not affect any other terms of the receivable. Generally, extensions are granted after a determination is made that the extension will likely alleviate an obligor’s temporary hardship. Under the current customary servicing practices, extensions generally may not extend the final payment more than six months past the original maturity date of the contract and may not be available to an obligor until six monthly equivalent payments have been made. On a monthly pay frequency, an obligor may receive up to 6 payment extensions over the life of the loan or up to 3 payment extensions in a 12-month period as long as it is not extending 6 months beyond the original maturity date. Extensions may be processed within system and rule constraints without manual intervention or approval. Exceptions may also be granted by an authorized approver beyond the guidelines and established limits within specified parameters. Any extension or other permissible modification could have an impact on the amount and timing of collections on Receivables and, consequently, the amount and timing of Available Funds to make payments on the Securities. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Transaction Parties—The Servicer’s discretion over the servicing of the Receivables, including the sale of Charged-Off Receivables, may impact the amount and timing of funds available to make payments on the Securities.”

Disaster Relief and Recovery

In the event of a natural or manmade disaster (including a pandemic such as the outbreak of COVID-19), the Servicer may implement a range of actions with respect to impacted obligors and the related receivables, including the cessation of repossession and collection efforts, offering assistance through modification or extension of the receivable and assisting with the processing of insurance claims. The scope of any such action may exceed the general requirements for eligibility with respect to such action outside of a natural or manmade disaster situation.

Charge-off Guidelines

The Servicer’s charge-off policy is designed to provide a consistent approach in compliance with applicable law to the charge-off of delinquent receivables, as well as accounts for which insurance proceeds have been applied following a casualty or for which a vehicle has been abandoned. Generally, receivables in default are charged-off at the earlier of (a) the date which the obligor is 120 days past due at the end of the month or (b) the expiration of the notice of intent (i.e., notice to the obligor of the intent to sell the vehicle to recoup part of the loss from the default) following a repossession of the related vehicle. Vehicles abandoned by an obligor or with applied insurance proceeds are charged off at 120 days past due. In the event the customer presents GAP coverage at time of loss, proceeds are applied to the account and the leftover balance is written down to reflect the GAP coverage. If the GAP payment is applied prior to the account becoming 120 days past due, then the receivable will be noted as paid/settled and the balance will not be charged-off. Once an account charges-off, the obligor is no longer responsible for late fees and interest previously accrued on the receivable, nor will the obligor accrue any additional late fees and interest; instead, the obligor is only responsible for the principal balance.

Sales of Deficiency Balances

The Servicer may from time to time sell deficiency balances remaining after a receivable is charged-off to third-parties on either a flow or portfolio purchase basis.

Repossession, Reinstatements and Liquidations

The Servicer’s servicing policy and procedures includes guidance with respect to repossessions, the handling of an obligor’s voluntary surrender of a vehicle, the handling of vehicles that have been impounded and notice requirements related to the foregoing. Generally, the Servicer may repossess a vehicle if the obligor has missed a monthly payment or has otherwise defaulted under a receivable, but a decision to repossess a vehicle is determined on an account-by-account basis in accordance with guidelines that consider, among other things, the risk of loss associated with the account. If the Servicer determines that a vehicle should be repossessed, then the Servicer will assign the vehicle for repossession to an approved repossession agent. In certain states and in some circumstances, the Servicer must send a “right to cure” notice prior to repossessing the vehicle and, in some states, the Servicer must send a “notice of intent” letter informing the obligor of the intent to sell the repossessed vehicle. If a vehicle is submitted for repossession and has not been recovered, the customer is offered options to cancel the repossession through payment of the full principal balance (which is referred to as “redeemed”) or, for customers in certain states, payment of the full past due balance (which is referred to as “reinstated”). If the related obligor is in bankruptcy or subject to the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, then the account will be referred to the Servicer’s bankruptcy department or military group within loan servicing prior to any repossession to ensure compliance with applicable legal requirements. Additionally, an obligor has the ability to voluntarily surrender a vehicle to the Servicer by requesting that the Servicer retrieve the vehicle, which is considered a voluntary repossession.

If a repossessed vehicle is not redeemed or reinstated, then the Servicer will sell the vehicle at auction and apply the net liquidation proceeds of the sale to the outstanding balance of the receivable. If the net liquidation proceeds exceed the outstanding balance, then the Servicer will refund the excess to the obligor; if the net liquidation proceeds are less than the outstanding balance, then the obligor will remain liable for the deficiency balance after rebates and credits, if any, are applied to the account.

Bankruptcy

The Servicer’s bankruptcy department is assigned to manage all receivables with obligors that have filed for bankruptcy. Once notice is received that an obligor has filed for bankruptcy, the account is moved to the bankruptcy department and all collection efforts are halted until the bankruptcy department reviews the account and determines the next steps. For obligors in bankruptcy, the Servicer will not engage in any collection efforts unless an oral notification of bankruptcy was not confirmed by documentation within a specified time period, the bankruptcy case has been dismissed (and not reinstated or appealed), the vehicle is sold and no amount remains due on the account or the account is reaffirmed and reaffirmation is approved by the bankruptcy court.

Impounds

From time to time vehicles are impounded. When an obligor abandons a vehicle by failing to retrieve the vehicle from the impound lot, the Servicer will determine whether to secure possession of the vehicle to satisfy the outstanding amounts under the related receivable. If the Servicer’s impound department determines that the cost of securing possession of the vehicle outweighs the benefit, the Servicer may abandon/forfeit the vehicle. If the vehicle is abandoned/forfeited, the account can be charged-off in accordance with the Servicer’s policies.

Insurance Policies and Processing

Although the retail installment contracts require obligors to insure the vehicle, the Servicer is not obligated to monitor compliance with this requirement or to force-place insurance. However, once the Servicer becomes aware of a damaged or totaled vehicle, the Servicer’s total loss department is responsible for ensuring insurance settlements are applied to the account and repair checks are distributed to an approved repair facility. In the event the customer presents GAP coverage at time of loss, proceeds are applied to the account and the leftover balance is written down to reflect the GAP coverage. Vehicles abandoned by a customer or with applied insurance proceeds are charged off according to the Servicer’s policies and procedures. If a GAP payment posts prior to the account charging off, the account will reflect as paid/settled.

HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE

Delinquencies and Net Losses

The information below includes historical performance data of (1) all motor vehicle receivables that were originated by Carvana, whether or not such receivables have been previously sold or securitized (but are still serviced by Bridgecrest) or may be sold or securitized in the future, including receivables that do not meet the criteria for inclusion in, or were otherwise excluded from, this securitization transaction under the captions “All Obligors” and (2) all motor vehicle receivables that were originated by Carvana relating to obligors with a Deal Score of 50 or higher at the time of origination whether or not such receivables have been previously sold or securitized (but are still serviced by Bridgecrest) or may be sold or securitized in the future under the captions “Prime Obligors.”

There can be no assurance that the delinquency and net loss experience of the Pool will be comparable to that set forth below.

A Receivable is considered delinquent when a payment in excess of 10% of any scheduled payment has not been received by the payment due date as of the end of the monthly period.

The amounts and percentages included in the delinquency experience tables represent Principal Balances only. The delinquency periods included in the delinquency experience tables are calculated based on the number of days a payment is contractually past due, and do not include bankruptcies and repossessions. Net charge-offs represent the outstanding Principal Balance of Charged-Off Receivables in the period less recovery payments received during the period with respect to charged-off accounts. Net charge-offs reflect expenses associated with collection, repossession, or disposition of the related vehicle.

Table of Contents

The characteristics of Receivables included in the static pool data presented in Annex I to this prospectus, 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 the transaction described in the prospectus and the social, economic and other conditions existing at the time when these Receivables were originated and those that will exist in the future when they are required to be repaid. Losses, prepayments and delinquencies for the pool of Receivables in the transaction described in the prospectus may differ from the information shown in Annex I.

To further understand how differing pool characteristics and changing conditions could impact performance, see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Receivables—Carvana’s proprietary credit scoring system may not perform as expected and may fail to properly quantify the credit risks associated with Carvana’s customers, resulting in higher than anticipated delinquencies and credit losses on the Receivables”, “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Receivables—Market factors may reduce the value of used vehicles, which could result in increased losses on the Receivables”, “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Receivables— Geographic concentrations of the Receivables may result in more risk to you and adversely affect payments on the Receivables and Notes”, “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Receivables—— Economic developments may adversely affect the performance of the Receivables and the market value of your Securities” and “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Receivables—Adverse events arising from the global Coronavirus outbreak could result in delays in payment or losses on your Securities.”

THE RECEIVABLES

The discussion below describes certain material features of the Receivables, eligibility criteria for the Receivables, the characteristics of the Pool, and certain reviews the Depositor makes of the Receivables before it purchases them from Carvana.

Interest Accrual and Allocation

The Receivables are simple interest Receivables. Each monthly payment under a simple interest receivable consists of an amount of interest, which is calculated on the basis of the outstanding Principal Balance multiplied by the stated annual percentage rate and further multiplied by the period elapsed (as a fraction of a calendar year) since the last payment of interest was made. Payments received under a simple interest receivable generally are allocated between interest and principal based on the actual date on which the payment is received.

Accordingly, if an obligor pays a fixed monthly installment before its scheduled due date:

 

   

the portion of the payment allocable to interest for the period since the preceding payment was made will be less than it would have been had the payment been made as scheduled; and

 

   

the portion of the payment applied to reduce the unpaid Principal Balance will be correspondingly greater.

Conversely, if an obligor pays a fixed monthly installment after its scheduled due date:

 

   

the portion of the payment allocable to interest for the period since the preceding payment was made will be greater than it would have been had the payment been made as scheduled; and

 

   

the portion of the payment applied to reduce the unpaid Principal Balance will be correspondingly less.

The amount of the scheduled monthly payment will not change as a result of an early or late payment, although a late fee may be assessed to the obligor. The Servicer is entitled to receive any late fees collected from obligors as Supplemental Servicing Fees.

In either case, the obligor under a simple interest receivable pays fixed monthly installments until the its final scheduled payment date, at which time the amount of the final installment is increased or decreased as necessary to repay the then outstanding Principal Balance. If a simple interest receivable is prepaid, the obligor is required to pay interest only to the date of prepayment.

Criteria Applicable to the Selection of the Receivables

The Pool was selected from Carvana’s portfolio based on several criteria, including that each Receivable:

 

   

was originated by Carvana in the ordinary course of business,

 

   

is secured by a used car or light duty truck,

 

   

was originated in the United States,

 

   

had an original term to maturity of not more than 75 months,

 

   

is a simple interest receivable,

 

   

has a fixed annual percentage rate of not more than 28%,

 

   

provides for level scheduled monthly payments that fully amortize the amount financed over its original term to maturity except for last payment, which may be smaller or greater than the level payments,

 

   

did not have more than 10% of any scheduled payment that was more than 30 days past due,

 

   

has a Deal Score equal to or greater than 50 at the time of origination;

 

   

with respect to any Obligor with a FICO score, has a FICO score equal to or greater than 580 at the time of origination;

 

   

is not secured by a financed vehicle that has been repossessed without reinstatement of the related contract and

 

   

to Carvana’s knowledge, does not relate to an obligor who is currently the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.

Each Receivable in the Pool meets the criteria described above and other criteria set forth in the Receivables Purchase Agreement. Carvana does not believe that the Pool was constructed using selection procedures adverse to investors. No expenses incurred in connection with the selection and acquisition of the Receivables are to be payable from the offering proceeds. Carvana did not incur any third party expenses constructing the Pool.

The information presented throughout this prospectus pertains to Receivables that satisfied, as of the Cutoff Date, the criteria for transfer to the Issuing Entity.

Reflects only the Receivables with at least one obligor that has a FICO score at the time of application. The FICO score with respect to any Receivable with co-obligors is calculated as the average of each obligor’s FICO score at the time of application, if both co-obligors have FICO scores at that time.

As of the Cutoff Date, the non-zero weighted average FICO score of the Receivables was 704, with the non-zero minimum FICO score being 582 and the maximum FICO score being 897. The calculations in this paragraph reflect only Receivables with obligors that have a FICO score at the time of application.

The percentage of Receivables with obligors that did not have a FICO score at the time of application was 0.53% based on the Initial Pool Balance.

A FICO score is a measurement determined by Fair Isaac Corporation 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 Carvana may use in its credit scoring system to assess the credit risk associated with each applicant. See “Underwriting of Receivables.” 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.

The Deal Score is a proprietary score used by Carvana. Deal Score is not comparable to a score from a credit bureau or a FICO score. Further, a Deal Score may not be an accurate predictor of the likely risk or quality of the related Receivable. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Receivables—Carvana’s proprietary credit scoring system may not perform as expected and may fail to properly quantify the credit risks associated with Carvana’s customers, resulting in higher than anticipated delinquencies and credit losses on the Receivables” and “Underwriting of Receivables— Proprietary Risk Models.”

Depositor Review of the Pool

In connection with this offering, the Depositor performed a review of the Receivables in the Pool (such disclosure, the “Rule 193 Information”). This review was designed and effected to provide the Depositor with reasonable assurance that the Rule 193 Information is accurate in all material respects.

As part of the review, Carvana identified the Rule 193 Information to be covered and identified the review procedures for each portion of the Rule 193 Information. Descriptions consisting of factual information were reviewed and approved by Carvana senior management to ensure the accuracy of such descriptions in all material respects. Carvana also reviewed the Rule 193 Information consisting of descriptions of portions of the Transaction Documents and compared that Rule 193 Information to the related Transaction Documents to provide reasonable assurance the descriptions were accurate in all material respects. Carvana officers also consulted with internal regulatory personnel and counsel, as well as external counsel, with respect to the description of the legal and regulatory provisions that may materially and adversely affect the performance of the Receivables or payments on the Notes.

In addition, Carvana employees performed a review of the Rule 193 Information to confirm that the Receivables in the Pool, as of the Cutoff Date, satisfied the criteria set forth under “The Receivables—Criteria Applicable to the Selection of the Receivables.” Statistical information relating to the Receivables was recalculated using data tapes containing information from Carvana’s and Bridgecrest’s information systems, which includes databases containing certain attributes of the Receivables, as well as originations data. The review of Rule 193 Information relating to credit approvals consisted of the application of Carvana’s internal control procedures, which include regular quality assurance and information technology internal audits on origination, funding, and data systems to ensure accuracy of data and that previously originated Receivables complied with underwriting guidelines. In addition, 150 Receivables were randomly selected in order to compare certain characteristics selected by the Depositor to the applicable information on the data tapes. Based on this review, seven discrepancies were identified. With respect to three randomly selected Receivables, no certificate of title could be located for such Receivables that reflected Carvana as the title lien nominee. Carvana made the decision to include these Receivables in the pool of Receivables to be sold to the Issuing Entity on the Closing Date based on the fact that it expects the related Department of Motor Vehicles to deliver certificates of title reflecting its lien on the vehicle in due course. With respect to four randomly selected Receivables, the discrepancy was related to the information related to the payment terms for such Receivable. Carvana made the decision to not include such sampled Receivables in the pool of Receivables to be sold to the Issuing Entity on the Closing Date.

Portions of the review of legal matters and the review of statistical information were performed with the assistance of third parties engaged by the Depositor. The Depositor determined the nature, extent and timing of the review and the level of assistance provided by the third parties. The Depositor had ultimate authority and control over, and assumes all responsibility for, the review and the findings and conclusions of the review. The Depositor attributes all findings and conclusions of the review to itself.

After undertaking the review described above, the Depositor found and concluded that it has reasonable assurance that the Rule 193 Information is accurate in all material respects.

None of the Receivables were originated with exceptions to Carvana’s written underwriting guidelines.

If a request is made for the repurchase of a Receivable due to a breach of a representation or warranty made by Carvana or the Depositor about the Receivables, and the repurchase request is not resolved within 180 days after receipt by Carvana or the Depositor of notice of the repurchase request, the requesting party, including a Noteholder, will have the right to refer the matter, in its discretion, to either mediation (including non-binding arbitration) or binding third-party arbitration. This right applies to all repurchase requests made in accordance with the Transaction Documents and is not limited to repurchase requests made in connection with a review pursuant to the asset representations review process described herein. This right is not a mechanism for requesting repurchase or other relief from losses resulting from changes in the credit quality of the Receivable or other market conditions. Carvana or the Depositor will not repurchase a Receivable with respect to which the related breach of a representation or warranty did not result in a material and adverse effect on the interests of the investors taken as a whole. Each notice must be given in writing to the other parties in accordance with the Transaction Documents and must specifically identify the Receivable(s) to be repurchased and specify the representations or warranties allegedly breached. The notice must also identify the alleged loss related to the Receivable and the material adverse effect on the requesting party. General allegations relating to the Pool or an unspecified subset of the Pool are not a sufficient description for purposes of the notice. If a Receivable is paid off, satisfied, substituted or repurchased, no demands to repurchase are permitted, and there is no further right to mediation or arbitration regarding that Receivable. None of the representations and warranties related to the Receivables relate to the performance of the Receivables or to any credit losses that may occur as a result of a default by the related obligor on the Receivable. Furthermore, the dispute resolution procedures described herein only to the specific Receivables that are related to the dispute. In order for a Receivable to be subject to repurchase, there must be a breach of a representation and warranty related to such Receivable which materially and adversely affects the requesting party. In the event that the Asset Representations Reviewer determines that the representations and warranties related to a Receivable have not failed, any repurchase request related to that Receivable will be deemed to be resolved.

The requesting party may choose either mediation (including non-binding arbitration) or third-party binding arbitration at its discretion. In each case, the process will be administrated by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures or any successor rules or procedures (the “AAA Rules”). The mediation or arbitration will take place in Phoenix, Arizona or such other location as agreed to by the parties. The Indenture Trustee, after direction from Carvana, will notify the requesting party at the end of the 180-day period if a repurchase demand is unresolved. Within 30 days of the delivery of the notice indicating that a repurchase demand has not been resolved following the end of the 180-day period, the requesting party must initiate the proceedings and provide notice (as defined by the AAA Rules) to Carvana and the Depositor of its intent to pursue resolution through mediation or arbitration at abs-transactions@carvana.com. Carvana or the Depositor must respond to the notice within 30 days and must submit to the method of dispute resolution requested.

If the requesting party chooses to refer the matter to mediation, Carvana or the Depositor and the requesting party will agree on a neutral mediator approved by the AAA within 15 days of notice service. If the parties cannot agree on a mediator, one will be appointed by the AAA in accordance with the applicable AAA Rules. For a mediation, the proceeding will start within 15 days after the selection of the mediator and conclude within 30 days after the start of the mediation. The parties will mutually agree on the allocation of expenses incurred in connection with the mediation and, should the parties not agree on the allocation of expenses, the expenses will be determined in accordance with AAA Rules. If the requesting party is unsatisfied with the result of the mediation, the requesting party may choose to submit the matter to binding arbitration or adjudicate the dispute in court.

If the requesting party chooses to refer the matter to binding arbitration, the matter will be referred to a panel of three arbitrators. The panel will be comprised of one arbitrator appointed by the requesting party, one arbitrator appointed by the Depositor and a third arbitrator appointed by the two arbitrators that are appointed by the requesting party and the Depositor, in each case selected in accordance with the Transaction Documents. Carvana and the Depositor will provide a notice of the commencement of any arbitration on the Form 10-D related to the monthly period in which the arbitration proceeding commences and will give other Noteholders or parties to the Transaction Documents the right to participate in the arbitration proceeding. The arbitrator will have the authority to schedule, hear and determine any motions, including dispositive and discovery motions, according to New York law, and will do so at the motion of any party. Discovery will be completed within 30 days of appointment of the panel and will be limited for each party to two witness depositions not to exceed five hours, two interrogatories, one document request and one request for admissions. The arbitrator may grant additional discovery on a showing of good cause that the additional discovery is reasonable and necessary or with the consent of all the parties. Briefs will be limited to no more than ten pages each, and will be limited to initial statements of the case, discovery motions and a pre-hearing brief. The evidentiary hearing on the merits will commence no later than 60 days following the appointment of the panel and will proceed for no more than 10 consecutive Business Days, with equal time allotted to each side for the presentation of direct evidence and cross examination. The panel will render its decision on the matter within 90 days of the selection of the panel. In each case, the panel will have discretion to modify these timeframes if, based on the facts and circumstances of the particular dispute, good cause exists, there is an unavoidable delay or with the consent of all of the relevant parties. The panel will decide the matter in accordance with the terms of the contract, including choice-of-law provisions, and the panel may not modify the Transaction Documents in any way or award remedies not consistent with the Transaction Documents. The panel will not be permitted to award punitive or special damages. The panel will also determine which party will be responsible for paying the dispute resolution fees, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in this process. Judgment on the award will be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Once the panel makes a decision with respect to a Receivable, the panel’s decision will be binding with respect to that Receivable, and such Receivable may not be the subject of any additional mediation or binding arbitration. By selecting binding arbitration, the requesting party will be giving up its right to adjudicate the dispute in court, including the right to a trial by jury.

No personally identifiable customer information will be provided for the purposes of any mediation or arbitration. In all cases, the proceedings of the mediation or binding arbitration, including the occurrence of such proceedings, the nature and amount of any relief sought or granted and the results of any discovery taken in the matter, will be kept strictly confidential by each of the parties to the dispute, except as necessary in connection with the investor communications and reports to investors described under “Statements to Investors”, in connection with a judicial challenge to or enforcement of an award, or as otherwise required by law.

Asset-Level Data for the Receivables

The Issuing Entity has provided asset-level data information for the Receivables and filed this information as an exhibit on Form ABS-EE. The Form ABS-EE is incorporated by reference into this prospectus. The asset-level data includes information with respect to each Receivable, the related financed vehicle, the related obligor, activities on the Receivables, charge offs, repossessions and modifications of the Receivables. Asset-level data will be provided each month as an exhibit to the monthly distribution reports filed on Form 10-D. Investors should carefully review the asset-level data.

The Issuing Entity will also prepare asset-level data about the Receivables for each Collection Period and file it with the SEC as an exhibit to Form ABS-EE at or before the time of filing the related Form 10-D. The exhibits to the Form ABS-EE will be incorporated by reference into the related Form 10-D.

Certain Legal Considerations of the Receivables

The transfer of Receivables by Carvana to the Depositor, by the Depositor to the Issuing Entity and by the Issuing Entity to the Grantor Trust, the perfection of the security interests in the Receivables and the enforcement of rights to realize on the financed vehicles as collateral for the Receivables are subject to a number of federal and state laws, including the UCC as in effect in various states.

Security Interests in the Financed Vehicles

The Receivables evidence the credit sale of motor vehicles and related products by Carvana to obligors. The Receivables also constitute personal property security agreements and include grants of security interests in the related financed vehicles under the UCC. Perfection of security interests in motor vehicles is generally governed by state certificate of title statutes or by the motor vehicle registration laws of the state in which each vehicle is located. In most states, a security interest in a motor vehicle is perfected by notation of the secured party’s lien on the vehicle’s certificate of title.

Carvana will be obligated to have taken all actions necessary under the laws of the state in which a financed vehicle is located to perfect the security interest in the financed vehicle, including, where applicable, by having a notation of the lien recorded on the financed vehicle’s certificate of title. Because the Servicer will continue to service the Receivables, the obligors on the Receivables will not be notified of the sales from Carvana to the Depositor, from the Depositor to the Issuing Entity or from the Issuing Entity to the Grantor Trust, and no action will be taken to record the transfer of the security interest from Carvana to the Depositor, from the Depositor to the Issuing Entity or from the Issuing Entity to the Grantor Trust by amendment of the certificates of title for the financed vehicles or otherwise.

The Receivables Purchase Agreement will provide that Carvana will assign to the Depositor its interests in the financed vehicles securing the related Receivables. The Receivables Transfer Agreement will provide that the Depositor will assign its interests in the financed vehicles securing the related Receivables to the Issuing Entity. The Receivables Contribution Agreement will provide that the Issuing Entity will assign its interests in the financed vehicles securing the related Receivables to the Grantor Trust. Nevertheless, because of the administrative burden and expense, none of Carvana, the Depositor, the Issuing Entity, the Grantor Trust, the Servicer, or the Indenture Trustee will amend any certificate of title to identify either the Depositor, the Issuing Entity, the Grantor Trust, or the Indenture Trustee as the new secured party on the certificate of title relating to a financed vehicle nor will any entity execute and file any transfer instrument. In addition, the Collateral Custodian will continue to hold any certificates of title relating to the financed vehicles in its possession as collateral custodian for the Grantor Trust and the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the Collateral Custodian Agreement.

In most states, the assignments under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Receivables Transfer Agreement and the Receivables Contribution Agreement will be effective to convey the security interest of Carvana in a financed vehicle without amendment of any lien noted on a vehicle’s certificate of title or re-registration of the vehicle, the Issuing Entity will succeed to Carvana’s rights as secured party upon the transfer from the Depositor, and the Grantor Trust will succeed to Carvana’s rights as secured party upon the transfer from the Issuing Entity. In those states in which re-registration of a financed vehicle is not necessary to convey a perfected security interest in the financed vehicle to the Grantor Trust, the Grantor Trust’s security interest could be defeated through fraud or negligence because the Grantor Trust will not be listed as legal owner on the related certificate of title. Moreover, in other states, in the absence of an amendment and re-registration, a perfected security interest in the financed vehicles may not have been effectively conveyed to the Grantor Trust. Nevertheless, in most of those other states, in the absence of fraud, forgery or administrative error by state recording officials, the notation of Carvana or its affiliate as lienholder on the certificate of title will be sufficient to protect the Grantor Trust against the rights of subsequent purchasers of a financed vehicle or subsequent creditors who take a security interest in a financed vehicle. UCC financing statements with respect to the transfer of Carvana’s security interest in the financed vehicles to the Depositor, with respect to the transfer of the Depositor’s security interest in the financed vehicles to the Issuing Entity, and with respect to the transfer of the Issuing Entity’s security interest in the financed vehicles to the Grantor Trust will be filed.

If Carvana failed to obtain a first priority perfected security interest in a financed vehicle, its security interest and, therefore, that of the Issuing Entity and the Grantor Trust would be subordinate to, among others, subsequent purchasers of that financed vehicle or subsequent creditors who take a perfected security interest in that financed vehicle. Carvana will represent and warrant to the Depositor in the Receivables Purchase Agreement, that all action necessary for Carvana to obtain a perfected security interest in each financed vehicle has been taken. If this representation and warranty is breached and not cured with respect to a financed vehicle and the interests of the investors, taken as a whole, in such Receivable are materially and adversely affected by such breach, Carvana will be required to repurchase the related Receivable from the Depositor, the Depositor will be required to repurchase the related Receivable from the Issuing Entity, and the Issuing Entity will be required to repurchase the related Receivable from the Grantor Trust.

In most states, a perfected security interest in a vehicle continues for four months after the vehicle is moved to a new state from the state in which it is initially registered and thereafter until the owner re-registers the vehicle in the new state. A majority of states require surrender of the related certificate of title to re-register a vehicle. In those states that require a secured party to take possession of the certificate of title to maintain perfection of the security interest, the secured party would learn of the re-registration through the request from the obligor under the related installment contract to surrender possession of the certificate of title so he could re-register the vehicle. In the case of vehicles registered in states that provide for the notation of a lien on the certificate of title but do not require possession by the secured party, the secured party would receive notice of surrender from the state of re-registration if the security interest is noted

on the certificate of title. Thus, the secured party would have the opportunity to maintain perfection of its security interest in the vehicles in the state of relocation. These procedural safeguards will not protect the secured party if, through fraud, forgery or administrative error, the obligor procures a new certificate of title that does not list the secured party’s lien. Additionally, in states that do not require a certificate of title for registration of a vehicle, re-registration could defeat perfection. Under the Servicing Agreement, the Servicer is required, in accordance with its customary servicing practices, to take such steps as are necessary to re-perfect or continue the priority and perfection of the security interest created by each Receivable in the related financed vehicle (it being understood that the Servicer has no obligation to monitor or otherwise maintain the perfection of the security interest created by a Receivable in the related financed vehicle).

Transfer and release of security interests in the vehicles is generally governed by the motor vehicle registration laws of the state in which the vehicle is located. Failure to comply with these detailed requirements could result in liability to the Issuing Entity or the Grantor Trust or the release of the lien on the vehicle or other adverse consequences. Some states permit the release of a lien on a vehicle upon the presentation by the dealer, obligor or persons other than the Servicer to the applicable state registrar of liens of various forms of evidence that the debt secured by the lien has been paid in full. For example, the State of New York passed legislation allowing a dealer of used motor vehicles to have the lien of a prior lienholder in a motor vehicle released, and to have a new certificate of title with respect to that motor vehicle reissued without the notation of the prior lienholder’s lien, upon submission to the Commissioner of the New York Department of Motor Vehicles of evidence that the prior lien has been satisfied. It is possible that, as a result of fraud, forgery, negligence or error, a lien on a financed vehicle could be released without prior payment in full of the Receivable.

In most states, liens for repairs performed on a motor vehicle and liens for unpaid taxes take priority over a perfected security interest in the vehicle. The Code also grants priority to certain federal tax liens over a perfected security interest in a motor vehicle. The laws of certain states and federal law permit the confiscation of motor vehicles by governmental authorities under certain circumstances if used in unlawful activities, which may result in the loss of a secured party’s perfected security interest in a confiscated vehicle. Carvana will represent and warrant to the Depositor in the Receivables Purchase Agreement, that, as of the Closing Date, the Servicer’s computer system does not reflect that any liens or claims have been filed for work, labor or materials relating to a financed vehicle that are prior to or equal to the security interest in such financed vehicle created by the related Receivable. If this representation and warranty is breached and not cured with respect to a financed vehicle, Carvana will be required to repurchase the related Receivable from the Depositor, the Depositor will be required to repurchase the related Receivable from the Issuing Entity, and the Issuing Entity will be required to repurchase the related Receivable from the Grantor Trust, if such breach in each case materially and adversely affects the interest of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders taken as a whole, subject to applicable cure periods. However, a prior or equal lien for repairs or taxes, or the confiscation of a financed vehicle, could arise at any time during the term of a Receivable. No notice will be given to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Grantor Trust Trustee, the Issuing Entity, the Grantor Trust, or the Noteholders or the Certificateholders in the event such a lien or confiscation arises, and any prior or equal lien arising after the Closing Date would not give rise to a repurchase obligation.

Repossession

In the Event of Default by an obligor, the holder of the related Receivable has all the remedies of a secured party under the UCC, except where specifically limited by other state laws. Among the UCC remedies, the Servicer, as agent on behalf of the secured party, has the right to perform self-help repossession unless the act would constitute a breach of the peace. 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 vehicle must then be repossessed in accordance with that order. A secured party may be held responsible for damages caused by a wrongful repossession of a vehicle. In the event of default by the obligor, some jurisdictions require that the obligor be notified of the default and be given a time period within which he may cure the default prior to repossession. Generally, the right of reinstatement after cure may be exercised on a limited number of occasions.

Notice of Sale; Redemption Rights

The UCC and other state laws require the secured party to provide the obligor with reasonable notice of the date, time and place of any public sale or the date after which any private sale of the collateral may be held. In addition, some states also impose substantive timing and content requirement on the notices. The obligor has the right to redeem the collateral prior to actual sale by paying the secured party the unpaid principal balance of the obligation and accrued interest on the obligation plus reasonable expenses for repossessing, holding and preparing the collateral for disposition and arranging for its sale, plus, in some jurisdictions, reasonable attorneys’ fees, or, in some states, by payment of delinquent installments or the unpaid balance.

Deficiency Judgments and Excess Proceeds

The proceeds of resale of the financed vehicles generally will be applied first to the expenses of resale and repossession and then to the satisfaction of the indebtedness. In many instances, the remaining principal amount of the indebtedness will exceed the liquidation proceeds. 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 these judgments. However, the deficiency judgment would be a personal unsecured 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.

 

45


Table of Contents

Occasionally, after resale of a vehicle and payment of all expenses and all indebtedness, there is a surplus of funds. In that case, the UCC requires the creditor to remit the surplus to any holder of a lien on the vehicle or if no lienholder exists or there are remaining funds, the UCC requires the creditor to remit the surplus to the former owner of the vehicle.

Other Matters

In addition to the laws limiting or prohibiting deficiency judgments, numerous other statutory provisions, including the Bankruptcy Code and related state laws, may interfere with or affect the ability of a creditor to realize upon collateral or enforce a deficiency judgment. For example, in a Chapter 13 proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, a court may prevent a creditor from repossessing a motor vehicle and, as part of the rehabilitation plan, reduce the amount of the secured indebtedness to the market value of the motor vehicle at the time of bankruptcy, as determined by the court, leaving the party providing financing as a general unsecured creditor for the remainder of the indebtedness. A bankruptcy court may also reduce the monthly payments due under the related contract or change the rate of interest and time of repayment of the indebtedness.

Under the terms of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, an obligor who enters the military service after the origination of that obligor’s Receivable (including an obligor who is a member of the National Guard or is in reserve status at the time of the origination of the obligor’s Receivable and is later called to active duty) is entitled to have the interest rate reduced and capped at 6% per annum for the duration of the military service, may be entitled to a stay of proceedings on foreclosures and similar actions and may have the maturity of the loan extended or the payments lowered and the payment schedule adjusted. In addition, pursuant to the laws of various states, under certain circumstances residents thereof called into active duty with the National Guard or the reserves can apply to a court to delay payments on retail installment contracts or installment loans such as the Receivables. Application of any of the foregoing acts or other similar acts under state law would adversely affect, for an indeterminate period of time, the ability of the Servicer to repossess a financed vehicle during the obligor’s period of active duty status. Thus, if that Receivable goes into default, there may be delays and losses occasioned by the inability to exercise the Grantor Trust’s rights with respect to the Receivable and the related financed vehicle in a timely fashion.

REPURCHASE HISTORY

The Transaction Documents contain covenants requiring the Depositor and Carvana to repurchase a Receivable for the breach of representation or warranty in certain circumstances. No assets securitized by the Depositor were the subject of a demand to repurchase or replace for a breach of any representation or warranty for the three-year period ending September 30, 2021. The Depositor, as a securitizer, discloses all demands, if any, to repurchase any motor vehicle receivable securitized by it on Form ABS-15G.

The Depositor filed its most recent Form ABS-15G with the SEC on January 25, 2021. The Depositor’s CIK number is 0001770373. For more information on obtaining a copy of the report, see “Where You Can Find More Information.”

PREPAYMENT AND YIELD CONSIDERATIONS

The weighted average life of the Notes will generally be influenced by the rate at which the Principal Balances of the Receivables are paid, which payment may be in the form of scheduled amortization or prepayments. For this purpose, the term “prepayment” includes:

 

   

prepayments by obligors, who may prepay at any time without penalty,

 

   

charge-offs,

 

   

liquidations of the Receivables due to defaults,

 

   

repurchases by the Depositor due to breaches of representations and warranties regarding the Receivables which materially and adversely affect the Issuing Entity,

 

   

certain indemnification payments by the Servicer with respect to actual losses arising from breaches of certain covenants in the Servicing Agreement, and

 

   

receipt of proceeds from credit life and casualty insurance policies.

The rate of prepayment of motor vehicle receivables is influenced by a variety of economic, social and other factors, including the fact that an obligor generally may not sell or transfer the financed vehicle securing a receivable without paying the outstanding balance of the receivable in full.

Any reinvestment risk resulting from prepayment of Receivables will be borne entirely by investors. See also “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Receivables—Prepayments on and purchases of the Receivables could shorten the average life of the Notes.”

Prepayments on motor vehicle receivables can be measured relative to a prepayment standard or model. The model used in this prospectus to present the projected weighted average life of each class of Notes, the Absolute Prepayment Model, or “ABS,” assumes a rate of prepayment each month relative to the original number of receivables in a pool of receivables. ABS further assumes that all receivables are the same size and amortize at the same rate and that each receivable in each month of its life will either be paid as scheduled or be prepaid in full. For example, in a pool of receivables assumed to originally contain 10,000 uniform receivables, a 1% ABS rate means that 100 receivables prepay each month. ABS does not purport to be a historical description of prepayment experience or a prediction of the anticipated rate of prepayment of any pool of receivables, including the Pool.

Because the rate of payment of principal of each class of Notes will depend on the rate of payment, including prepayments, of the Principal Balance of the Receivables, final payment of each class of Notes could occur significantly earlier than the Final Scheduled Distribution Date for each class of Notes.

The tables under the heading “ —Percent of Initial Note Principal Amount Outstanding at Various ABS Percentages” have been prepared on the basis of indicated ABS percentages.

The “Hypothetical Pool of Receivables” is a pool of Receivables equal to those Receivables expected to be owned by the Grantor Trust on the Closing Date, but no assurance can be given that the Receivables owned by the Grantor Trust on the Closing Date will have the same characteristics. The table below represents a pool of Receivables that have been further disaggregated into 68 smaller hypothetical pools having the characteristics set forth in the table below. The level scheduled monthly payment for each of the hypothetical pools is based on aggregate Principal Balance, annual percentage rate and remaining term to maturity as of the Cutoff Date such that each hypothetical pool set forth below will be fully amortized by the end of its remaining term to maturity.

Table of Contents

In addition, the following assumptions have been used in preparing the tables below:

 

  1.

the Receivables prepay in full at the specified constant percentage of ABS monthly, with no defaults, losses or repurchases on any of the Receivables,

 

  2.

each monthly payment on the Receivables is made on the last day of each month, whether or not such day is a Business Day, and each month has 30 days (including the initial Collection Period), commencing in December 2021 for the Receivables with an assumed loan payment date after the 12th day of the month (hypothetical pool 35 to 68) and commencing in January 2022 for the Receivables with an assumed loan payment date on or before the 12th day of the month (hypothetical pool 1 to 34),

 

  3.

prepayments on the Receivables each month are made in full on the last day of each month at the specified monthly ABS and include 30 days of interest, and there are no delinquency, defaults, losses, or repurchases, commencing in December 2021 for the Receivables with an assumed loan payment date after the 12th day of the month and commencing in January 2022 for the Receivables with an assumed loan payment date on or before the 12th day of the month,

 

  4.

interest accrues on the Notes at a per annum fixed rate for the Class A-1 Notes of 0.27825%, for the Class A-2 Notes of 0.98%, for the Class A-3 Notes of 1.51%, for the Class A-4 Notes of 1.91%, for the Class B Notes of 2.27%, for the Class C Notes of 2.84%, for the Class D Notes of 3.15% and for the Class N Notes of 2.37%,

 

  5.

interest accrues on the Class A-1 Notes on each Distribution Date based on the actual number of days elapsed during the period for which interest is payable and a 360-day year and interest accrues on the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the Class A-4 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes and the Class N Notes on each Distribution Date based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months (or in the case of the first Distribution Date, 11 days),

 

  6.

the principal amounts of each class of Notes is equal to the principal amount for that class of Notes set forth on the cover of this prospectus,

 

  7.

payments on the Notes are made on each Distribution Date (and each Distribution Date is assumed to be the 10th day of each applicable month), commencing January 10, 2022,

 

  8.

except as indicated in the following tables, the Servicer (or its designee) exercises the 2% clean-up call option to purchase the Receivables at the earliest opportunity,

 

  9.

no investment earnings are earned on any account,

 

  10.

the Servicing Strip Amount is paid monthly and calculated to be an amount equal to the product of (i) 1.00% of the Pool Balance as of the first day of that Collection Period (or, in the case of the first Distribution Date, the Pool Balance as of the Cutoff Date) times (ii) a fraction equal to 1/12 (or, in the case of the first Distribution Date, 19/360), and indemnities are equal to zero,

 

  11.

the Indenture Trustee, the Collateral Custodian and the Administrator fees, expenses and indemnities equal $2,583.33 per Distribution Date in the aggregate; the Backup Servicing Fee is $1,741.67 for the first Distribution Date and $2,750 for each Distribution Date thereafter; the Hired Rating Agencies fees equal $30,000 for each annual Distribution Date starting in January 2023; the Owner Trustee fees equal $5,000 for each annual Distribution Date starting in January 2023; the Grantor Trust Trustee fees equal $5,000 for each annual Distribution Date starting in January 2023; the Asset Representations Reviewer fees equal $5,000 for each annual Distribution Date starting in January 2023; the Independent Accountant fees equal $9,000 for each annual Distribution Date starting in January 2023; $2,000 for Financial Printer costs for each Distribution Date; and all other fees and expenses equal zero per Distribution Date,

 

  12.

no Asset Representations Review has been triggered,

 

  13.

the Closing Date occurs on December 29, 2021,

 

  14.

no Event of Default occurs, and

 

  15.

each of the hypothetical pools described above have an assumed cutoff date of December 12, 2021.

The actual characteristics and performance of the Receivables will differ from the assumptions used in constructing the following tables. The assumptions used are hypothetical and have been provided only to give a general sense of how the principal cash flows might behave under varying prepayment scenarios. For example, it is very unlikely that the Receivables will prepay at a constant level of ABS until maturity or that all of Receivables will prepay at the same level of ABS. Any difference between each of those assumptions and the actual characteristics and performance of the Receivables, or actual prepayment experience, will affect the percentages of initial balances outstanding over time and the weighted average lives of the Notes.

Investors are urged to make their investment decisions on a basis that includes their determination as to anticipated prepayment rates under a variety of the assumptions discussed herein.

Table of Contents

The following tables indicate the projected weighted average life of each class of Notes and set forth the percent of the initial principal amount of each class of Notes that is projected to be outstanding after each of the Distribution Dates shown at various constant ABS percentages.

Percent of Initial Note Principal Amount Outstanding at Various ABS Percentages

The weighted average life of each class of Notes as set forth in each of the tables below is determined by:

 

   

multiplying the amount of each principal payment on a note of that class by the number of years from the date of the issuance of the related note to the related Distribution Date,

 

   

adding the results, and

 

   

dividing the sum by the related initial principal amount of each class of the Notes.

The calculation in the row in each of the tables below labeled “Weighted Average Life (Years) to Call” assumes that the Servicer (or its designee) exercises the 2% clean-up call option to purchase the Receivables on the earliest permissible date. The calculation in the row in each of the tables listed below labeled “Weighted Average Life (Years) to Maturity” assumes that the Servicer (or its designee) does not exercise its 2% clean-up call option. If the Servicer (or its designee) were to exercise the clean-up call option, Noteholders would receive all unpaid principal on their Notes at the time of the respective call and the Notes would cease to be outstanding.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The Depositor will use the net proceeds of the sale of the Offered Notes (1) to purchase the Receivables from Carvana, (2) to deposit the Reserve Account Initial Deposit into the Reserve Account, (3) to deposit the Class N Reserve Account Initial Deposit into the Class N Reserve Account and (4) to pay for certain expenses incurred in connection with the issuance and sale of the Offered Notes. No expenses incurred in connection with the selection and acquisition of the Receivables by the Depositor will be payable from the offering proceeds.

Carvana will use the net proceeds from the sale of the Offered Notes for general corporate purposes. Carvana will also use a portion of the net proceeds to repay certain “warehouse” debt, including debt owed to one or more of the underwriters or their respective affiliates, secured by the Receivables prior to their sale to the Issuing Entity. Certain underwriters or their respective affiliates act as administrator or provide credit lines for such warehouse debt.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES

The Issuing Entity will issue the Notes under the Indenture. We have filed a form of the Indenture as an exhibit to the registration statement, but the form agreement does not describe the specific terms of the Notes. We will file a copy of the final form of the Indenture with the SEC no later than the date of the filing of the final prospectus. The following summary describes material terms of the Offered Notes and the Indenture. The summary does not purport to be complete and is subject, and qualified in its entirety by reference, to the Indenture.

All payments required to be made on the Notes will be made monthly on each Distribution Date. Distributions will be made to the Noteholders of record as of the close of business on the related record date.

The Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2 Notes, Class A-3 Notes, the Class A-4 Notes, Class B Notes, Class C Notes and Class D Notes will be offered for purchase in minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. U.S. persons acquiring beneficial interests in the Notes will hold their interests through DTC and may also be held through Clearstream Luxembourg and Euroclear, as participants in DTC. Non-U.S. persons acquiring beneficial interests in the Notes will hold their interests through Clearstream Luxembourg and Euroclear, as participants in DTC. See “—Book-Entry Registration” below.

Interest Payments

Interest will accrue on the Notes as set forth below:

 

   

Interest will accrue on the Notes (other than the Class A-1 Notes) on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months (and, in the case of the first Distribution Date as set forth below) and

 

   

Interest will accrue on the Class A-1 Notes on the basis of the actual days elapsed during the period for which interest is payable and a 360-day year.

This means that, if there are no outstanding shortfalls in the payment of interest, the interest due on each Distribution Date will be the product of:

 

   

the outstanding principal amount of a class of Notes,

 

   

the interest rate of that class of Notes, and

 

   

(i) in the case of the Class A-1 Notes, the actual number of days in the interest period divided by 360; or (ii) in the case of the other classes of Notes, 30 (or, in the case of the first Distribution Date, 11) divided by 360.

The note interest rates are as follows:

 

   

for the Class A-1 Notes, the interest rate is 0.30600%,

 

   

for the Class A-2 Notes, the interest rate is 0.82%,

 

   

for the Class A-3 Notes, the interest rate is 1.31%,

 

   

for the Class A-4 Notes, the interest rate is 1.64%,

 

   

for the Class B Notes, the interest rate is 1.98%,

 

   

for the Class C Notes, the interest rate is 2.33%,

 

   

for the Class D Notes, the interest rate is 2.61%, and

 

   

for the Class N Notes, the interest rate is 2.15%.

An Event of Default will occur if the full amount of interest due on the Controlling Class of Notes is not paid within five Business Days of the related Distribution Date. See “The Transaction Documents—Indenture—Events of Default.”

Amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account will be available on each Distribution Date to pay interest on the Notes (other than the Class N Notes) to the extent that such interest is not paid from Available Funds. Amounts on deposit in the Class N Reserve Account will be available on each Distribution Date to pay interest on the Class N Notes to the extent that such interest is not paid from Available Funds.

Payments of Principal

On each Distribution Date, unless the Notes have been accelerated following the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Indenture when the priorities set forth under “Distribution Date Payments—Distribution Date Payments After Acceleration of the Notes” are applicable, the Issuing Entity will pay principal, (i) to the extent of funds allocated for payment of principal, sequentially to the Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the Class A-4 Notes, Class B Notes, Class C Notes and the Class D Notes, in certain circumstances, respectively, and (ii) to the extent of funds available in accordance with clause (16) under “Distribution Date Payments”, to the Class N Notes. The Class XS Notes will not be entitled to any payments of principal.

The classes of Notes (other than the Class N Notes and the Class XS Notes) are “sequential pay” classes. On each Distribution Date, payments of principal will be distributed to the most senior outstanding class of Notes to maintain parity between the outstanding principal amount of the Notes (other than the Class N Notes and the Class XS Notes) and the Pool Balance. The principal payments made to cure this undercollateralization, if any then exists, will be made prior to the payment of interest on the more subordinated classes of Notes on that Distribution Date. See “Distribution Date Payments.”

 

64


Table of Contents

On each Distribution Date, all amounts allocated to the payment of principal as described in clauses (5), (7), (9), (11) and (13) under “Distribution Date Payments” other than any Distribution Date when the priorities set forth under “Distribution Date Payments—Distribution Date Payments After Acceleration of the Notes” are applicable, will be aggregated and will be paid out in the following order:

 

   

first, to the Class A-1 Notes, until the principal amount of the Class A-1 Notes has been reduced to zero;

 

   

second, to the Class A-2 Notes, until the principal amount of the Class A-2 Notes has been reduced to zero;

 

   

third, to the Class A-3 Notes, until the principal amount of the Class A-3 Notes has been reduced to zero;

 

   

fourth, to the Class A-4 Notes, until the principal amount of the Class A-4 Notes has been reduced to zero;

 

   

fifth, to the Class B Notes, until the principal amount of the Class B Notes has been reduced to zero;

 

   

sixth, to the Class C Notes, until the principal amount of the Class C Notes has been reduced to zero; and

 

   

seventh, to the Class D Notes, until the principal amount of the Class D Notes has been reduced to zero.

On each Distribution Date, to the extent of funds available in accordance with clause (16) under “Distribution Date Payments” other than any Distribution Date when the priorities set forth under “Distribution Date Payments—Distribution Date Payments After Acceleration of the Notes” are applicable, will be paid out to the Class N Notes, until the principal amount of the Class N Notes has been reduced to zero.

The Class XS Notes will not be entitled to any payments of principal.

In addition, any outstanding principal amount of any class of Notes that has not been previously paid will be payable on the Final Scheduled Distribution Date for that class. The actual date on which the aggregate outstanding principal amount of any class of Notes is paid may be earlier than the Final Scheduled Distribution Date for that class, depending on a variety of factors. See “Prepayment and Yield Considerations.

Optional Redemption

On any Distribution Date after the last day of any Collection Period as of which the Pool Balance is less than or equal to 2% of the Initial Pool Balance, the Servicer will have the option to purchase (and/or to designate one or more other persons (other than Carvana and its subsidiaries)) to purchase the Receivables.

To exercise this option, the Servicer will deposit (or cause to be deposited) an amount not less than the greater of (a) the lesser of (1) the fair market value of the Receivables and (2) the sum of the Principal Balances of the Receivables plus accrued and unpaid interest as of the last day of the related Collection Period and (b) the amount necessary to pay in full (after giving effect to the distribution of Available Funds on such Distribution Date) the outstanding amount of all Notes (other than the Class XS Notes), including all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, the Servicing Strip Amount for the related Collection Period and all amounts then owed by the Issuing Entity to the Grantor Trust Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer, the Collateral Custodian, the Backup Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Administrator.

It is expected that at the time this clean-up call option becomes available to the Servicer (or its designee), the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes will be outstanding.

Any outstanding Notes (other than the Class XS Notes) will be redeemed concurrently with this exercise of the optional purchase of the Receivables and the subsequent distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to the Trust Agreement will effect early retirement of the certificates.

Controlling Class

The “Controlling Class” will be (i) if any of the Class A Notes are outstanding, the Class A Notes (voting together as a single class), (ii) if the Class A Notes have been paid in full, the Class B Notes, (iii) if the Class A Notes and the Class B Notes have been paid in full, the Class C Notes and (iv) if the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, and the Class C Notes have been paid in full, the Class D Notes. Only after all the Notes (other than the Class XS Notes) are no longer outstanding will the Certificates have any of the rights that the Controlling Class has. The Class XS Notes and the Class N Notes will never be the Controlling Class.

Book-Entry Registration

The Notes will be available only in book-entry form except in the limited circumstances described below. All Notes will be held in book-entry form by DTC, in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. Investors’ interests in the Notes will be represented through financial institutions acting on their behalf as direct and indirect participants in DTC. Investors may hold their Notes through DTC, Clearstream Banking Luxembourg S.A., or Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., 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 Notes 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.

Table of Contents

Investors electing to hold their Notes through DTC will follow the settlement practices applicable to U.S. corporate debt obligations. Investors electing to hold global Notes through Clearstream or Euroclear accounts will follow the settlement procedures applicable to conventional eurobonds, except that there will be no temporary global Notes 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 Notes for distribution to holders of book-entry Notes 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 Notes.

Definitive Notes Only in Limited Circumstances

With respect to any class of Notes issued in book-entry form, such Notes will be issued in fully registered, certificated form to Noteholders or their respective nominees, rather than to DTC or its nominee, only if:

 

   

DTC is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as the clearing agency with respect to the global Notes and Carvana is unable to locate a qualified successor;

 

   

Carvana advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through DTC; or

 

   

after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Requisite Noteholders advise the clearing agency that the continuation of a book-entry system through DTC is no longer in the best interests of the Noteholders.

Upon the occurrence of any event described in the immediately preceding paragraph, DTC will notify all applicable Noteholders of a given class through participants of the availability of such Notes being issued in the form of definitive notes (“Definitive Notes”). Upon surrender by DTC of the Definitive Notes representing the corresponding Notes and receipt of instructions for re-registration, the Indenture Trustee will reissue the Notes as Definitive Notes to the Noteholders.

Distributions of principal of, and interest on, the Definitive Notes will thereafter be made by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture directly to holders of Definitive Notes in whose names the Definitive Notes were registered at the close of business on the record date for such Notes. The distributions will be made by check mailed to the address of the Noteholder as it appears on the register maintained by the Indenture Trustee or by wire transfer to the account designated in writing to the Indenture Trustee by the Noteholder at least five Business Days prior to the related record date. The final payment on any Definitive Notes, however, will be made only upon presentation and surrender of the Definitive Notes at the office or agency specified in the notice of final distribution to the applicable Noteholders.

Definitive Notes will be transferable and exchangeable at the offices of the Indenture Trustee or of a registrar named in a notice delivered to holders of Definitive Notes. No service charge will be imposed for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Indenture Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.

The Class XS Notes

The Issuing Entity will also issue the Class XS Notes. The Class XS Notes will not have a principal amount and will not be entitled to any payments of principal. This class of Notes will have a notional amount equal to the principal balance of the Receivables as of the end of the preceding Collection Period (or, as of the cutoff date in the case of the first Collection Period). The Class XS Notes will be paid to the extent the Servicing Strip Amount exceeds the fees owed to the Servicer. The Class XS Notes are not offered by this prospectus.

CREDIT ENHANCEMENT

The discussion below highlights important feature that enhance the likelihood that payments will be made to investors. The presence of reserve accounts is intended to enhance the likelihood of receipt by investors of the full amount of principal and interest due thereon and to decrease the likelihood that the Noteholders will experience losses. The overcollateralization, reserve accounts, excess collections and subordination of interests will not provide protection against all risks of loss and will not guarantee repayment of the entire principal amount of the Notes and interest thereon. If shortfalls in Available Funds occur and exceed the amount covered by overcollateralization, reserve accounts, excess collections and subordination of interests, investors will bear their allocable share of those deficiencies.

Subordination

A class of Notes that is lower in priority of payment provides credit support to those classes of Notes having higher priority of payment relative to that class. Consequently, to the extent collections on Receivables and other assets do not generate enough cash to satisfy the Issuing Entity’s obligations, including the obligations to make payments to investors, payments of excess cash flow that would otherwise be made to the Certificateholders will first be eliminated and any additional losses will generally then be absorbed as follows:

 

   

first, by the holders of the Class D Notes, to the extent then outstanding;

 

   

second, by the holders of the Class C Notes, to the extent then outstanding;

 

   

third, by the holders of the Class B Notes, to the extent then outstanding;

 

   

fourth, by the holders of the Class A-4 Notes, to the extent then outstanding;

 

   

fifth, by the holders of the Class A-3 Notes, to the extent then outstanding;

 

   

sixth, by the holders of the Class A-2 Notes, to the extent then outstanding; and

 

   

seventh, by the holders of the Class A-1 Notes, to the extent then outstanding.

Reserve Account

Amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account, if any, will be applied to make payments to Noteholders and Certificateholders in accordance with the priority of payments to the extent those amounts remain unsatisfied after the application of collections and other Available Funds.

The Reserve Account provides credit enhancement to the Notes (other than the Class N Notes and the Class XS Notes) by adding an additional potential source of funds available to make payments on the Notes. Pursuant to the Indenture, the Issuing Entity will establish the Reserve Account with the Account Holder.

Amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account will be invested in certain eligible investments that mature not later than the Business Day prior to the following Distribution Date. Eligible investments may not be purchased at a premium. Any net income from those investments will be paid to the Depositor.

On each Distribution Date, the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account will be withdrawn, to the extent necessary, to fund any deficiencies in the payments of the Issuing Entity’s expenses, interest payments on the Notes, principal payments on the Notes that are necessary to prevent the outstanding principal amount of the Notes amount from exceeding the Pool Balance and principal payments on each class of Notes that are necessary to pay off each class of Notes on its Final Scheduled Distribution Date. See “Distribution Date Payments.”

On any Distribution Date that the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account together with Available Funds is sufficient to pay all amounts due pursuant to clauses (1) through (13) set forth below under “Distribution Date Payments” and the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Class A Notes, Class B Notes, Class C Notes and the Class D Notes, such amount will be used to repay all such outstanding classes of Notes in full on such Distribution Date.

Class N Reserve Account

The Class N Reserve Account provides credit enhancement solely to the Class N Notes and will not be available to make payments to the holders of the Offered Notes.

Overcollateralization

The Pool Balance will exceed the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued by the Issuing Entity (other than the Class N Notes). The initial amount of overcollateralization and the Overcollateralization Target Amount are described under “Prospectus Summary—Credit Enhancement—Overcollateralization.” This excess creates credit enhancement by allowing for some amount of losses on the Receivables before a shortfall in funds available to make payments on the Notes would occur.

Excess Collections

Excess collections are generally the excess of collections on the Receivables over the various fees and expenses of the Issuing Entity, including the Servicing Strip Amount, unpaid indemnity amounts and transition expenses due to the Backup Servicer, should it become the successor servicer, unpaid fees, expenses, and indemnity amounts due to each of Carvana, the Indenture Trustee, Owner Trustee, the Grantor Trust Trustee, the Collateral Custodian, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Independent Accountant, the Financial Printer and the Hired Rating Agencies, and interest payments on the Notes and certain required principal payments on the Notes. Any excess collections will be applied on each Distribution Date to make principal payments on the Notes to the extent necessary to reach the Overcollateralization Target Amount.

DISTRIBUTION DATE PAYMENTS

On each Distribution Date, unless the Notes have been accelerated following the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Issuing Entity will pay from Available Funds for such Distribution Date, amounts withdrawn from the Reserve Account solely in connection with the payment of clauses (1) through (11) below, if any, and amounts withdrawn from the Class N Reserve Account solely in connection with the payment of clauses (14) and (16) below, if any, the following amounts in the following order of priority:

We have filed forms of the Transaction Documents as exhibits to the registration statement, but the forms of the Transaction Documents do not describe the specific terms of the Notes. We will file a copy of the final form of the Transaction Documents with the SEC no later than the date of the filing of the final prospectus. Where particular provisions or terms used in the Transaction Documents are referred to, the actual provisions, including definitions of terms, are incorporated by reference as part of this summary. The parties will enter into the Transaction Documents, each of which may be amended and supplemented from time to time, to be dated as of the Closing Date. The summaries below do not purport to summarize all material provisions of the Transaction Documents and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the actual Transaction Documents. See “Sponsor,” “Issuing Entity” and “Description of the Notes” for further discussion with respect to the Transaction Documents.

Sale and Assignment of Receivables

Carvana will sell the Receivables, including its security interests in the financed vehicles, to the Depositor on the Closing Date pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement. The Depositor will transfer and assign to the Issuing Entity, without recourse, its entire interest in the Receivables, including its security interests in the financed vehicles, pursuant to the Receivables Transfer Agreement. The Issuing Entity will transfer the Receivables, including its security interest in the financed vehicles, to the Grantor Trust in exchange for the Grantor Trust Certificate.

 

70


Table of Contents

Carvana will represent and warrant to the selection criteria set forth in “The Receivables—Criteria Applicable to the Selection of the Receivables.”

In the Receivables Transfer Agreement, the Depositor will assign the representations and warranties of Carvana, as set forth above, to the Issuing Entity, and will represent and warrant to the Issuing Entity that the Depositor has taken no action which would cause the representations and warranties of Carvana with respect to the Receivables to be false in any material respect as of the Closing Date.

Repurchases of Receivables

Unless (A) a breach of any representation or warranty of Carvana with respect to any Receivable, which materially and adversely affects the interests of the investors, taken as a whole, is cured in all material respects within 30 days following (i) the discovery of the breach or receipt of notice of such breach by the Depositor from the Issuing Entity or the Grantor Trust (which notice will provide sufficient detail so as to allow Carvana to reasonably investigate the alleged breach), or (ii) in the case of the Owner Trustee, the Grantor Trust Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, a responsible officer of such trustee has actual knowledge or receives written notice of a breach of such representation or warranty, then (B) the Issuing Entity will repurchase from the Grantor Trust or will enforce the obligation of the Depositor under the Receivables Transfer Agreement to repurchase, and the Depositor will repurchase or will enforce the obligation of Carvana under the Receivables Purchase Agreement to repurchase, as required, such Receivable from the Grantor Trust at a price equal to the aggregate principal balance of the repurchased Receivables, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Any such breach will be deemed not to materially and adversely affect the interests of the investors, taken as a whole, if such breach does not affect the ability of the Issuing Entity to receive and retain timely payment in full on the related Receivable. The repurchase obligation constitutes the sole remedy available to the Depositor, the Issuing Entity or the Grantor Trust for any such uncured breach. The Indenture Trustee will not be responsible for determining whether a breach of any representation or warranty or document defect has occurred, or whether such breach constitutes a material breach or defect, or the enforcement of any repurchase obligations.

The Depositor will be entitled to receive collections received on a repurchased Receivable after the first day of the Collection Period during which such Receivable was repurchased by the Depositor. These repurchase obligations, if fulfilled, constitute the sole remedies available to the Issuing Entity, the Grantor Trust, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Grantor Trust Trustee for any uncured breaches with respect to the Receivables, except for certain limited indemnities.

The Servicing Agreement and Servicing of the Receivables

Duties of the Servicer

The Servicer will service and make collections on the Receivables held by the Grantor Trust in accordance with its customary servicing practices and applicable law, using the degree of skill and care that the Servicer exercises with respect to all comparable motor vehicle receivables that it services for itself or others. Subject to the restrictions set forth in the Servicing Agreement, as described below, the Servicer will follow its customary servicing practices and will have full power and authority to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and collection that it may deem necessary or desirable, including executing and delivering instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or partial or full release or discharge, with respect to the Receivables or the related financed vehicles.

The Servicer will initially receive payments relating to the Receivables in a post-office box or depositary account subject to a master agency agreement for the benefit of, among other parties, the Grantor Trust, the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee. The Servicer is required to deposit any collections (other than Supplemental Servicing Fees) on the Receivables received in a post-office box or depository account into the Collection Account within two business days following identification. Pending deposit into the Collection Account, collections may be commingled with other funds and are not required to be segregated from the Servicer’s own funds.

The Servicer may in its discretion waive any Supplemental Servicing Fees. The Servicer is not required to make any advances of funds or guarantees regarding collections, cash flows or distributions, nor is the Servicer required to maintain a fidelity bond or error and omissions policy or to monitor whether obligors obtain or maintain an insurance policy on the financed vehicles.

Modifications

The Servicer may grant certain extensions and other modifications described in “Servicing Procedures—Modification of Contracts—Due Date Changes and Extensions.” Any extensions, deferrals amendments, modifications and other alterations granted could have an impact on the amount and timing of collections on Receivables and, consequently, the amount and timing of Available Funds to make payments on the Securities. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Transaction Parties—The Servicer’s discretion over the servicing of the Receivables, including the sale of Charged-Off Receivables, may impact the amount and timing of funds available to make payments on the Securities.” The Servicer generally may not reduce the APR or principal balance with respect to any Receivable, other than in limited circumstances (such as when required by law or court order). Additionally, as a result of the transaction being structured such that the Issuing Entity and Grantor Trust are intended to be treated as grantor trusts for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Servicer will be further restricted in making modifications to the Receivables. If the Servicer reduces the APR or principal balance of any Receivable other than as permitted, then the Servicer will be required to indemnify the Issuing Entity for the actual loss. Additionally, if the Servicer extends the date for final payment by the obligor of any Receivable beyond the last day of the collection period preceding the latest Final Scheduled Distribution Date of all classes of Notes, releases the financed vehicle securing the related Receivable from the security interest granted by such Receivable other than as permitted under the Servicing Agreement or materially impairs the rights of the Grantor Trust, the Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee in any Receivable, then the Servicer will be required to pay the actual

loss (if any) with respect to such Receivable. These indemnification obligations constitute the sole remedy available to the Issuing Entity, the Grantor Trust, the Backup Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Grantor Trust Trustee, and the holders of the Securities for any uncured breaches of these covenants by the Servicer. See “—Limitation on Servicer Liability and Indemnification” for further discussion on the Servicer’s indemnification obligations.

Realization Upon Receivables

On behalf of the Grantor Trust, 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 has determined that eventual payment in full is unlikely, unless it determines in its sole discretion that repossession will not increase the liquidation proceeds by an amount greater than the expense of such repossession, that the proceeds ultimately recoverable with respect to such receivable would be increased by forbearance or that repossessing such financed vehicle would otherwise not be consistent with the Servicer’s customary servicing practices. Without limiting the foregoing, the Servicer will use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its customary servicing practices to maximize net proceeds from the repossession of a financed vehicle, which may include selling the financed vehicle at public or private sale. In addition, the Servicer may from time to time (but is not required to) sell any Charged-Off Receivables on behalf of the Issuing Entity or the Grantor Trust in accordance with its customary servicing practices and such other conditions and requirements as set forth in the Servicing Agreement for a price equal to the fair market value of such Charged-Off Receivable.

Sale of Charge-Offs

The Servicer may from time to time, but is not required to, direct the Grantor Trust to sell retail installment contracts that have been charged-off in accordance with the servicing policy and procedures and the Servicing Agreement, to a third party that is unaffiliated with Carvana, the Depositor, the Issuing Entity, the Grantor Trust or Servicer and these may be sold to third parties.

Servicing Compensation and Payment of Expenses

On each Distribution Date, the Issuing Entity will pay to the Servicer the Servicing Fee, which will be payable from the Servicing Strip Amount.

In addition, the Servicer will also be entitled to receive or retain, as applicable, Supplemental Servicing Fees, which include any late fees, insufficient fund fees and other administrative fees and expenses or similar charges collected during a monthly Collection Period, as well as any investment earnings on its concentration accounts during a monthly Collection Period prior to transferring the collections on the Receivables to the Collection Account. The Servicer is entitled to be reimbursed for liquidation expenses, which are the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (exclusive of overhead) incurred by the Servicer with respect to the collection, repossession, enforcement, disposition and liquidation of a Receivable that is a charged-off contract and the related financed vehicle. These Supplemental Servicing Fees and liquidation expenses are not paid out of the Servicing Strip Amount. Supplemental Servicing Fees do not constitute Available Funds, and liquidation expenses reduce the amount of Available Funds available to be distributed on each Distribution Date.

To the extent there is an Excess Servicing Strip Amount available on any Distribution Date, such amount will be paid to the holders of the Class XS Notes. The relative priority of the Servicing Strip Amount and the Excess Servicing Strip Amount are set forth in “Distribution Date Payments.”

Delegation by and Resignation of the Servicer

The Servicer may, at any time without notice or consent, delegate (a) any or all of its duties under the Transaction Documents to any of its Affiliates or (b) specific duties to sub-contractors who are in the business of performing such duties; provided, that no such delegation will relive the Servicer of its responsibility with respect to such duties and the Servicer will remain obligated and liable to the Issuing Entity, the Grantor Trust and the Indenture Trustee for its duties under the Servicing Agreement as if the Servicer alone were performing such duties.

The Servicer may not resign from its obligations and duties as Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, except upon a determination that the Servicer’s performance of these duties as servicer is not permissible under applicable law. Notice of any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer will be communicated to the Indenture Trustee and the Backup Servicer by the Servicer at the earliest practicable time (and, if such communication is not in writing, will be confirmed in writing at the earliest practicable time) and any such determination will be evidenced by an opinion of counsel to such effect delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Backup Servicer concurrently with or promptly after such notice. If, after the Servicer gives notice of its intent to resign or is removed, a successor servicer does not take office within the earlier of sixty days and the date that the Backup Servicer is required to assume the obligations of the predecessor servicer under the Backup Servicing Agreement, the retiring Servicer, the Issuing Entity or the Requisite Noteholders may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment and designation of a successor servicer (at the expense of the Issuing Entity).

Termination of the Servicer

If a Servicer Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, and at the direction of the Requisite Noteholders will, by notice given to the Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Issuing Entity, the Administrator, the Certificateholders and the Noteholders, terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement with respect to the Receivables. In the event the Servicer is removed or resigns as Servicer, all authority and power of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement will, without further action, pass to and be vested in (i) the Backup Servicer; or (ii) if the Backup Servicer has been terminated, a successor servicer approved as described below. The Indenture Trustee may make arrangements for compensation to be paid to the successor servicer, which in no event may be greater than the servicing compensation to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, unless consented to by the Requisite Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee will not be liable for any Servicing Fee or for any differential in the amount of the Servicing Fee and the amount necessary to induce any successor Servicer to act as successor Servicer under the Transaction Documents.

In the event the Backup Servicer does not assume the role of successor servicer, the Requisite Noteholders will appoint another person as successor servicer, who will assume the obligations of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement on the assumption date specified in the written notice. The Backup Servicer will act as successor servicer unless it is legally unable to do so, in which event the predecessor Servicer shall continue to act as Servicer until a successor acceptable to the Requisite Noteholders has been appointed and accepted such appointment. In the event that a successor Servicer has not been appointed and the Backup Servicer is legally unable to act at the time when the predecessor Servicer has ceased to act as Servicer, then the Indenture Trustee, the Issuing Entity or the Requisite Noteholders may appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a successor servicer (at the expense of the Issuing Entity).

The occurrence and continuation of any one or more of the following events will constitute a “Servicer Termination Event”:

 

   

(1) any failure by the Servicer to deposit in the Collection Account any payment required to be so delivered by the Servicer under the terms of the Servicing Agreement, which failure continues unremedied for five Business Days after discovery thereof by a responsible officer of the Servicer or receipt by a responsible officer of the Servicer of written notice thereof from the Indenture Trustee or the Requisite Noteholders (or, if no Notes are outstanding, from the majority Certificateholders);

 

   

(2) any failure by the Servicer to duly observe or perform in any material respect any other of its covenants or agreements in the Servicing Agreement, which failure materially and adversely affects the rights of the Issuing Entity, the Noteholders or the Certificateholders, and which continues unremedied for 60 consecutive days after discovery thereof by a responsible officer of the Servicer or receipt by a responsible officer of the Servicer of written notice thereof from the Indenture Trustee or the Requisite Noteholders (or, if no Notes are outstanding, from the majority Certificateholders);

 

   

(3) any representation or warranty made by the Servicer in the Servicing Agreement or any other Transaction Document will prove to have been incorrect or false in any respect when made, which breach materially and adversely affects the rights of the Issuing Entity, the Noteholders or the Certificateholders and such breach continues unremedied for 60 consecutive days after discovery thereof by a responsible officer of the Servicer or receipt by a responsible officer of the Servicer of written notice thereof from the Indenture Trustee or the Requisite Noteholders (or, if no Notes are outstanding, from the majority Certificateholders); and

 

   

(4) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership of the Servicer (which, if involuntary, remain unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive days) or actions by the Servicer indicating its insolvency, reorganization pursuant to bankruptcy proceedings, or inability to pay its obligations;

provided, that (A) any delay or failure of performance referred to in clause (1) above shall have been caused by force majeure or other similar occurrence, the 5 Business Day grace period referred to in such clause (1) shall be extended for an additional 10 calendar days and (B) if any delay or failure of performance referred to in clauses (2) or (3) above shall have been caused by force majeure or other similar occurrence, the 60 day grace period referred to in such clause shall be extended for an additional 30 calendar days. 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 in clauses (1) or (2) above has occurred.

Waiver of Servicer Termination Events

The Requisite Noteholders, on behalf of all the Noteholders, Certificateholders and the Issuing Entity, may waive any Servicer Termination Event and its consequences. No waiver will impair the Noteholders’ or Certificateholders’ rights regarding subsequent defaults.

Evidence as to Compliance

The Servicing Agreement will provide for delivery on or before March 15 of each calendar year, beginning March 15, 2022, of a certificate signed by an officer of the Servicer stating that (1) a review of the Servicer’s activities during the preceding calendar year (or, in the case of the first such certificate, the period from the Closing Date through December 31, 2021) and of its performance under the Servicing Agreement has been made under the supervision of such officer and (2) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled its obligations under the Servicing Agreement in all material respects throughout the reporting period or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligations in any material respect, describing each such failure and the status thereof.

The Servicer will also give the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee written notice of any event which has occurred and is continuing, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, unless cured, would become a Servicer Termination Event.

Table of Contents

The Servicer will provide a report regarding its assessment of its compliance with certain servicing criteria specified in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB as of the end of the preceding calendar year (or, in the case of the first such certificate, the period from the Closing Date through December 31, 2021). The report will address each of the servicing criteria specified in the Servicing Agreement as applicable to the Servicer or such other criteria as mutually agreed upon by the Depositor and the Servicer. The Servicer will provide a separate annual report of a firm of independent certified public accountants attesting to such servicer’s assessment of its compliance with such servicing criteria during the preceding calendar year (or, in the case of the first such certificate, the period from the Closing Date through December 31, 2021).

Limitation on Servicer Liability and Indemnification

The Servicer will be liable under the Servicing Agreement only to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement and the representations and warranties made by the Servicer thereunder. The Servicer will be required to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuing Entity, the Grantor Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Grantor Trust Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Collateral Custodian, the Backup Servicer and Carvana and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any and all costs (including reasonable legal fees and related costs), expenses, losses, claims, damages, and liabilities to the extent that such cost, expense, loss, claim, damage, or liability arose out of, or was imposed upon any such person through the negligence (other than errors in judgment), willful misfeasance or bad faith of the Servicer in the performance of its duties under the Transaction Documents, or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, or by reason of breach of any representations or warranties made in the Servicing Agreement by the Servicer (excluding, however, costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages and liabilities to the extent resulting from the negligence (or gross negligence (except for errors in judgment) in the case where the Owner Trustee, Grantor Trust Trustee, Indenture Trustee or Collateral Custodian is seeking indemnification or willful misconduct on the part of the indemnified party or breach of any Transaction Document by the indemnified party (in the case of the Indenture Trustee and Collateral Custodian, resulting from the Indenture Trustee’s or the Collateral Custodian’s negligence or willful misconduct)). Such indemnification shall include any amounts incurred by an indemnified party in connection with the enforcement of the Servicer’s indemnification. Neither the Servicer (nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Servicer) will be under any liability to any person for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to the Servicing Agreement or for errors in judgment, although the Servicer will not be protected against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance or bad faith in the performance of duties or by reason of is failure to perform its obligations or of reckless disregard of obligations and duties under the Servicing Agreement or by reason of negligence in the performance of its duties under the Servicing Agreement (except for errors in judgment).

Indenture

The Indenture will provide for the issuance of the Notes, the terms of the Notes and payments to Noteholders as described in this prospectus. The following summary describes certain other material terms of the Indenture.

Material Covenants

The Indenture provides that the Issuing Entity it binds may not consolidate with or merge into any other entity, unless:

 

   

the entity (if other than the Issuing Entity) formed by or surviving the consolidation or merger is organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any state or the District of Columbia,

 

   

no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing immediately after giving effect to such merger or consolidation,

 

   

none of Carvana, the Depositor, the Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee has been advised that the rating of the Notes then in effect would be reduced or withdrawn by the rating agencies hired to rate the Notes as a result of the merger or consolidation,

 

   

any action necessary to maintain the lien and security interest created by the Indenture has been taken, and

 

   

the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee have received an opinion of counsel to the effect that the consolidation or merger would have no material adverse tax consequence to the Issuing Entity or to any noteholder or Certificateholder and that all conditions precedent have been complied with.

So long as any Notes are outstanding, the Issuing Entity and the Grantor Trust will not, among other things, except as expressly permitted by the Transaction Documents:

 

   

sell, convey, exchange, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the assets of the Issuing Entity or the Grantor Trust,

 

   

claim any credit on or make any deduction from the principal or interest payable in respect of the Notes (other than amounts withheld from such payments under the Code or applicable state, local or non-U.S. tax law) or assert any claim against any present or former holder of the Notes by reason of the payment of taxes levied or assessed upon any part of the Collateral of the Issuing Entity or the Grantor Trust,

 

   

dissolve or liquidate in whole or in part,

 

   

permit the validity or effectiveness of the Indenture or any other Transaction Document to be impaired or permit any person to be released from any covenants or obligations regarding the Notes under the Indenture except as may be expressly permitted by the Indenture, or

permit any lien, charge, excise, claim, security interest, mortgage or other encumbrance to be created on or extend to or otherwise arise upon or burden the assets of the Issuing Entity or any part of its assets, or any interest in its assets or the proceeds thereof.

The Issuing Entity may not engage in any activity other than as specified under “The Issuing Entity” above. The Issuing Entity may not incur, assume or guarantee any indebtedness other than indebtedness incurred pursuant to the Notes it issues and the Indenture which binds it or otherwise in accordance with the Transaction Documents.

Events of Default

The Indenture contains the following “Events of Default”:

 

  1.

default in the payment of any interest when it becomes due and payable on any Note of the Controlling Class, and the default will continue for a period of five Business Days;

 

  2.

default in the payment in full of all then outstanding principal of any class of Notes (other than the Class XS Notes) and accrued but unpaid interest due on any class of Notes (other than the Class XS Notes) on the related Final Scheduled Distribution Date;

 

  3.

default in the payment in full of any other amount due on the Notes (other than the Class XS Notes), when such payment becomes due and payable, to the extent funds are available therefor, and such default continues for a period of five Business Days;

 

  4.

a material default in the observance or performance by the Issuing Entity of any other covenant or agreement made in the Indenture proving to have been incorrect in any material respect as of the time when the same will have been made, subject to a grace period of 60 consecutive days after the Indenture Trustee or the holders of the Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Controlling Class will have delivered notice of such default;

 

  5.

a material default in the observance or performance by the Issuing Entity of any other representation or warranty made in the Indenture proving to have been incorrect in any material respect as of the time when the same will have been made, subject to a grace period of 60 consecutive days after the Indenture Trustee or the holders of the Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Controlling Class will have delivered notice of such breach of representation or warranty; and

 

  6.

certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or liquidation of the Issuing Entity or its property.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, there will be no Event of Default where an Event of Default would otherwise exist under clauses (1), (2) and (3) above for a period of an additional ten Business Days or under clauses (4) and (5) for a period of an additional 30 days if the delay or failure giving rise to the Event of Default was caused by an act of God or other similar occurrence.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Indenture Trustee will declare all the Notes to be immediately due and payable if directed in writing by the Noteholders of Notes evidencing not less than the Requisite Noteholders.

If the Notes have been declared immediately due and payable following an Event of Default and before a judgment or decree for payment of the amount due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee, the Requisite Noteholders may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, if certain conditions specified in the Indenture are satisfied.

Upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, the Indenture Trustee may exercise certain remedies under the Indenture, including selling the property of the Issuing Entity if certain other conditions specified in the Indenture are satisfied. The Indenture Trustee may not cause the liquidation of the Issuing Entity’s property unless either (a) Noteholders representing 100% of the Aggregate Note Principal Amount consent thereto, or (b) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to the Noteholders are sufficient to discharge in full the principal of and the accrued interest on the Notes, at the date of such sale or liquidation, or (c) (1) there has been a payment Event of Default, (2) the Indenture Trustee determines that the Issuing Entity’s property will not continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes as and when they would have become due if the Notes had not been declared due and payable and the Indenture Trustee provides notice to the Issuing Entity (who will deliver such notice to each rating agency hired by the Issuing Entity to rate the Notes) and (3) the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of Noteholders evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the outstanding principal amount of Notes.

If the Notes have been declared due and payable following an Event of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, any money or property collected pursuant to the Indenture or otherwise and any money then held or thereafter received by the Indenture Trustee with respect to the property of the Issuing Entity will be applied in accordance with the priorities set forth in “Distribution Date PaymentsDistribution Date Payments After Acceleration of the Notes” above, including, without limitation, amounts that would otherwise be released to the holders of the certificates.

The Requisite Noteholders may, on behalf of all Noteholders and the Issuing Entity, waive any Event of Default and its consequences. No such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. The Indenture Trustee must notify each Hired Rating Agency of any waiver of any Event of Default.

The Issuing Entity will be required to file annually with the Indenture Trustee a written statement as to the fulfillment of its obligations under the Indenture.

Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture and Release of Collateral

Subject to the payment of its fees and expenses pursuant to the Indenture, the Indenture Trustee may, and when required by the provisions of the Indenture will, execute instruments to release property from the lien of the Indenture, or convey the Indenture Trustee’s interest in the same. The Indenture Trustee will be required, at such time as there are no Notes outstanding and all sums due to the Indenture Trustee have been paid to release any remaining portion of the collateral that secured the Notes from the lien of the Indenture and release to the Issuing Entity, the Grantor Trust, or any other person entitled thereto any funds then on deposit in the designated accounts.

Unless and until Definitive Notes are issued, the Indenture Trustee will make available these reports to Cede & Co., as registered holder of the Notes and the nominee of DTC on the Issuing Entity’s behalf. See “Description of the NotesBook-Entry Registration.”

If a responsible officer of the Indenture Trustee receives any written notice of a Servicer Termination Event or if the Servicer is terminated or a successor Servicer appointed pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, then the Indenture Trustee will give prompt notice of such event to the Owner Trustee, the Issuing Entity, the Grantor Trust Trustee, the Grantor Trust, the Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Noteholders.

The Indenture Trustee’s internet website will be located at www.CTSLink.com or at such other address as the Indenture Trustee will notify the investors from time to time. For assistance with regard to this service, you can call the Indenture Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office at (866) 846-4526.

The Indenture Trustee makes no representations or warranties as to the accuracy or completeness of, and may disclaim responsibility for, any information made available by the Indenture Trustee for which it is not the original source. Noteholders should not rely upon any representations made on the Indenture Trustee’s website, as the website is not part of this prospectus. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for the dissemination of information made in accordance with the Transaction Documents.

After the end of each calendar year, within the required time period, the Indenture Trustee will furnish to each person who at any time during the calendar year was a noteholder or Certificateholder a statement as to the aggregate amounts of interest and principal paid to the noteholder and any other information as the Depositor deems necessary to enable the noteholder to prepare its tax returns.

Investor Communications

Investors may send a written request to Carvana stating that the investor is interested in communicating with other investors about the possible exercise of rights under the Transaction Documents. The investor should send its request to abs-transactions@carvana.com. The investor must include in its request the method by which other investors should contact it.

 

77


Table of Contents

The Administrator will cause the following information to be included in the Form 10-D related to the reporting Collection Period in which the request was received:

 

   

a statement that the Administrator has received a communication request from a noteholder or beneficial owner of Notes;

 

   

the name of the requesting investor;

 

   

the date the request was received;

 

   

a statement that the investor is interested in communicating with the other investors about the possible exercise of rights under the Transaction Documents; and

 

   

a description of the method other investors may use to contact the requesting investor.

The Administrator will bear any costs associated with including the above information in the Form 10-D. The requesting investor will pay any costs associated with communicating with other investors, and no other transaction party, including the Issuing Entity, will be responsible for such costs.

If the requesting investor is not the record holder of any Notes and is instead a beneficial owner of Notes, then the request must include (1) a written certification from such investor that it is a beneficial owner of Notes and (2) an additional form of documentation to prove ownership, such as a trade confirmation, an account statement, a letter from a broker or dealer or other similar document. If Definitive Notes are issued and the requesting investor is the record holder of any Notes, no verification procedures will be required.

Establishment of Certain Accounts

The Indenture Trustee will establish with the Account Holder and maintain the following accounts:

 

   

a Collection Account, for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders, into which all payments made on or for the Receivables will be deposited,

 

   

a Note Distribution Account, for the benefit of the Noteholders, in which amounts released from the Collection Account and the Reserve Account for payment to the Noteholders will be deposited and from which all distributions to the Noteholders will be made,

 

   

if the certificates are sold by the Depositor, a Certificate Distribution Account, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, in which amounts released from the Collection Account and the Reserve Account for distribution to the Certificateholders will be deposited and from which all distributions to the Certificateholders will be made,

 

   

a Reserve Account, which will be a segregated trust account for the benefit of the Noteholders and Certificateholders into which funds will be deposited by the Depositor and from which payments to the Noteholders, the Servicer and, in some cases, the Depositor and the Certificateholders, will be made, and

 

   

a Class N Reserve Account, which will be a segregated trust account for the benefit of the Class N Noteholders into which funds will be deposited by the Depositor and from which payments to the Class N Noteholders and, in some cases, the Depositor, will be made.

Funds on deposit in the Certificate Distribution Account will not constitute property of the Issuing Entity available to the Noteholders. Upon and after any distribution to the Certificate Distribution Account of any amounts, the Noteholders will not have any rights in or claims to those amounts.

The Reserve Account will be funded by an initial deposit by the Depositor on the Closing Date in the amount set forth under “Credit Enhancement—Reserve Account” and on each Distribution Date thereafter up to the Specified Reserve Account Balance to the extent of funds available in accordance with clause (12) under “Distribution Date Payments.” The Class N Reserve Account will be funded by an initial deposit by the Depositor on the Closing Date in the amount set forth under “Credit Enhancement—Class N Reserve Account” and on each Distribution Date thereafter up to the Class N Reserve Account Required Amount to the extent of funds available in accordance with clause (15) under “Distribution Date Payments.” If the amount required to be withdrawn from the Reserve Account or the Class N Reserve Account to cover shortfalls in collections on the Receivables exceeds the amount of cash in the Reserve Account or the Class N Reserve Account, as applicable, a temporary shortfall in the amounts distributed to the Noteholders or Certificateholders could result, which could, in turn, increase the average life of the Notes or the certificates. Investment earnings on funds deposited in the Collection Account, the Reserve Account and the Class N Reserve Account, net of losses and investment expenses, will be payable to the Depositor.

The Designated Accounts will be maintained as either of two types of accounts. The first type of account is a segregated account with an eligible institution. Eligible institutions are:

 

   

the corporate trust department of the Indenture Trustee, the Grantor Trust Trustee or the Owner Trustee, as applicable, or

 

78


Table of Contents
   

a depository institution organized under the laws of the United States of America or any one of the states thereof or the District of Columbia, or any domestic branch of a foreign bank, as long as that depository institution:

 

   

has either (X) a long-term unsecured debt rating of AA or better by S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”), or such other rating that is acceptable to each rating agency or (Y) a short-term unsecured debt rating or certificate of deposit rating of A-1+ by S&P or such other rating that is acceptable to each rating agency, and

 

   

has its deposits insured by the FDIC or any successor thereto.

The second type of account is a segregated trust account with a depository institution organized under the laws of the United States of America or any one of the states thereof or the District of Columbia, or any domestic branch of a foreign bank. This depository institution must act as trustee for funds deposited in the account and the securities of that depository institution must have a credit rating from each rating agency then rating that institution in one of its generic rating categories which signifies investment grade or such higher rating as required by the rating agencies hired to rate the Notes.

Investment of Funds

Funds deposited in the Designated Accounts will be invested in Eligible Investments. “Eligible Investments” generally include obligations of the United States, certain demand deposits, time deposits or certificates of deposit of (subject to certain eligibility requirements) any depository institution or trust company incorporated under the laws of the United States or any state thereof (or any domestic branch of a foreign bank) and subject to supervision and examination by federal or state banking or depository institution authorities; commercial paper having, at the time of the investment or contractual commitment to invest therein, a rating from each of the Hired Rating Agencies rating the Notes in the highest investment grade category for short-term unsecured debt obligations or certificates of deposit granted thereby; investments in money market funds having a rating from each of the applicable Hired Rating Agencies rating the Notes in the highest investment grade category or in money market or common trust funds having a rating from each of the applicable Hired Rating Agencies rating the Notes in the highest investment grade category for short-term unsecured debt obligations or certificates of deposit granted thereby; certain bankers’ acceptances issued by any depository institution or trust company and repurchase obligations with respect to any security that is a direct obligation of, or fully guaranteed by, the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof the obligations of which are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States; and commercial paper master notes having, at the time of the investment or contractual commitment to invest therein, a rating from each of the Hired Rating Agencies rating the Notes in the highest investment grade category for short-term unsecured debt obligations; and in any other investment permitted by each of the Hired Rating Agencies rating the Notes. If any of the Hired Rating Agencies fails to provide a rating for a specified investment, then an equivalent required deposit rating may be obtained from another nationally recognized rating agency.

Any such Eligible Investments must mature or if such Eligible Investment does not mature, be liquidated not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next Distribution Date.

The Servicer is entitled to receive all investment earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) on the funds in its concentration accounts prior to remittance of collections to the Collection Account.

The Depositor is entitled to receive all investment earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) on the funds in the Collection Account, the Reserve Account and the Class N Reserve Account.

Distribution of Reserve Accounts Following Payment in Full of the Notes

Following payment in full of the Notes (other than the Class N Notes) and payment of liabilities of the Issuing Entity in accordance with applicable law, any remaining amounts in the Reserve Account will be distributed to the Certificateholders. Following payment in full of the Class N Notes, any remaining amount in the Class N Reserve Account will be distributed to the Depositor.

Replacement of the Indenture Trustee

Under the Indenture, the Indenture Trustee may resign at any time by giving notice to the Issuing Entity. The Requisite Noteholders may remove the Indenture Trustee by so notifying the Indenture Trustee upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice and may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee. Additionally, the Issuing Entity will remove the Indenture Trustee if:

 

   

at any time, the Indenture Trustee will cease to be eligible under the Indenture;

 

   

a court of competent jurisdiction will have entered a decree or order granting relief or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, conservator or sequestrator for the Indenture Trustee or for any substantial part of the Indenture Trustee’s property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the Indenture Trustee’s affairs;

 

   

an involuntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws or another present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law is commenced with respect to the Indenture Trustee;

 

   

the Indenture Trustee commences a voluntary case under any federal or state banking or bankruptcy laws, or consents to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, conservator, sequestrator for the trustee or for any substantial part of the Indenture Trustee’s property, or makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors or fails generally to pay its debts as such debts become due or takes any action in the furtherance of the foregoing; or

 

   

the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

 

79


Table of Contents
   

If the Indenture Trustee gives notice of its intent to resign or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Indenture Trustee for any reason, the Issuing Entity will promptly appoint a successor indenture trustee and the Indenture Trustee will promptly transfer all Issuing Entity accounts to an institution that meets the eligibility requirements set forth in the Indenture. Additionally, if the Indenture Trustee ceases to be eligible under the Indenture, any Noteholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Indenture Trustee and the appointment of a successor indenture trustee. If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within sixty (60) days after the Indenture Trustee gives notice of its intent to resign or is removed, the Issuing Entity, the retiring Indenture Trustee or the Requisite Noteholders may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment and designation of a successor indenture trustee (at the expense of the Issuing Entity).

Amendment of Indenture

The Issuing Entity, the Grantor Trust and, upon receipt of an order from the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee, with prior notice to each Hired Rating Agency, but without consent of the Noteholders, may enter into one or more supplemental indentures for any of the following purposes:

 

   

to correct or amplify the description of any property at any time subject to the lien under the Indenture, or better to assure, convey and confirm unto the Indenture Trustee any property subject or required to be subjected to the lien under the Indenture;

 

   

with the consent of the Certificateholders, to subject additional property to the lien under the Indenture;

 

   

to add to the covenants of the Issuing Entity or the Grantor Trust for the benefit of the investors or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Issuing Entity under the Indenture;

 

   

to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge any property to or with the Indenture Trustee;

 

   

to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision in the Indenture or in any supplemental indenture which may be inconsistent with any other provision in any supplemental indenture, any other Transaction Document, this prospectus, any offering memorandum or any private placement memorandum;

 

   

to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Indenture in order to comply with the Trust Indenture Act, or

 

   

to evidence and provide for the acceptance of the appointment under the Indenture of a successor or additional indenture trustee with respect to the Notes and to add to or change any of the provisions of the Indenture as is necessary to facilitate the administration of the trusts thereunder by more than one trustee, pursuant to the requirements of the Indenture.

In addition, the Issuing Entity, the Grantor Trust, and, upon receipt of an order from the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee, with prior notice to the Hired Rating Agencies, may enter into one or more supplemental indentures to add provisions to, change in any manner or eliminate any provisions of the Indenture, or modify in any manner the rights of the Noteholders provided that such action will not, as evidenced by an acceptable opinion of counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder.

In each case, no supplemental indenture will be permitted unless, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel, the supplemental indenture would not cause either of the Issuing Entity or the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee also may, with prior notice to the Hired Rating Agencies and with the consent of the Requisite Noteholders, enter into a supplemental indenture or indentures subject to limitations described in the Indenture regarding certain fundamental changes.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of each Noteholder affected thereby, the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee may not change the Class A-1 Note interest rate, the Class A-2 Note interest rate, the Class A-3 Note interest rate, the Class A-4 Note interest rate, the Class B Note interest rate, the Class C Note interest rate, the Class D Note interest rate, or the Class N Note interest rate (it being understood that a waiver of any Event of Default by the Requisite Noteholders will not in and of itself be deemed to have any of the foregoing effects) or change the percentage of Notes required to be held by the Requisite Noteholders to consent to any such action.

Asset Representations Review Agreement

The Issuing Entity will enter into the Asset Representations Review Agreement with the Asset Representations Reviewer pursuant to which Clayton will be authorized to act as the Asset Representations Reviewer for the review of the Receivables.

General

The Asset Representations Reviewer will conduct a review of Receivables that are more than 60 days delinquent for their compliance with asset level representations and warranties provided by Carvana and the Depositor upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions:

 

   

the Delinquency Trigger (as defined below) is met or exceeded, and

 

   

if the Delinquency Trigger is met or exceeded, the Noteholders (including beneficial owners of the Notes) vote to cause a review of the Receivables that are more than 60 days delinquent by:

 

   

at least 5% of Noteholders (other than Carvana and its affiliates), measured by the aggregate outstanding amount of the respective Notes (other than the Class N Notes), demanding a vote to determine if a review should be performed, and

 

80


Table of Contents
   

subject to a 5% voting quorum, at least a majority of Noteholders (other than Carvana and its affiliates), measured by the aggregate outstanding amount of the respective Notes (other than the Class N Notes) of the Noteholders voting, choosing to initiate an asset representations review.

For more information regarding the Asset Representations Reviewer, see “Asset Representations Reviewer.”

Delinquency Trigger

The first condition to a review will be satisfied if the aggregate Principal Balance of all Receivables that are more than 60 days delinquent, divided by the Pool Balance (in each case, measured as of the end of the related Collection Period) meets or exceeds the Delinquency Trigger. If the Delinquency Trigger is met or exceeded, it will be reported on the Servicer’s monthly report for that month and reported in the Form 10-D for that month.

A Receivable is delinquent when a payment in excess of 10% of a scheduled payment has not been received by the payment due date as of the end of the monthly period (each, a Delinquent Receivable”). Charged-Off Receivables are not considered delinquent and therefore are not included in the Delinquency Trigger calculation.

If the delinquency rate for any Collection Period exceeds the related Delinquency Trigger Rate then the Delinquency Trigger (the “Delinquency Trigger”) will have occurred for that Collection Period. The “Delinquency Trigger Rates” will be as follows:

 

Collection Period

   Delinquency Trigger Rates  

1-12

     2.00

13-24

     2.50

25-36

     3.50

37-48

     4.00

49+

     4.50

Carvana derived the Delinquency Trigger Rates by considering observations of comparable loans originated by Carvana since 2014 and reviewing performance of securitizations of similar loans completed by other issuers. The Delinquency Trigger Rates have been set at levels Carvana believes are sufficient to avoid the Delinquency Trigger being exceeded based on normal economic fluctuations through business cycles.

Information regarding Receivables that are more than 60 days delinquent for Carvana’s comparable vintage pools is included in “Annex I—Static Pool Information.”

Voting

Within 90 days of publication that the Delinquency Trigger has been met or exceeded in the statement to investors on Form 10-D, the Noteholders may determine whether to initiate a vote to determine whether a review of Receivables that are more than 60 days delinquent should be initiated by the Asset Representations Reviewer. Investors may exercise this right by contacting the Indenture Trustee. For the purpose of the vote, Notes held by Carvana or any affiliates thereof, are not included in the calculation of determining whether investors have elected to initiate a vote.

If the requesting investor is the record holder of any Notes (other than the Class N Notes), no verification procedures will be required. If the requesting investor is not the record holder of any Notes and is instead a beneficial owner of Notes, the Indenture Trustee will require verification in the form of (1) a written certification from the Noteholder that it is a beneficial owner of a specified outstanding principal amount of the Notes and (2) an additional form of documentation, such as a trade confirmation, an account statement, a letter from the broker or dealer or other similar document. If less than 5% of investors by outstanding principal amount of the Notes demand that a review be initiated within 90 days of publication of the Delinquency Trigger being met, no additional vote will be required and no asset representations review will be conducted.

If at least 5% of the Noteholders by outstanding principal amount of the Notes (other than the Class N Notes) demand that a vote be conducted, the Indenture Trustee will initiate a vote of all the Noteholders by posting a notice through DTC and the Issuing Entity will disclose on the Form 10-D related to the Collection Period in which the Noteholders and beneficial owners of Notes demand that a vote be conducted the voting procedures that will be used and how to cast a vote. The Noteholders will be allowed to vote for 150 days after publication that the Delinquency Trigger has been met or exceeded in the monthly report to Noteholders on Form 10-D. If at the end of such 150 day period, at least a majority of the Noteholders by outstanding principal amount of the Notes who have voted choose to approve initiating the asset representations review and at least 5% of the Noteholders by outstanding principal amount of the Notes (other than the Class N Notes) cast a vote, the Asset Representations Reviewer will be notified to conduct a review as set forth below. If the requirements of the voting trigger are not met within these time periods, no asset representations review will occur for that occurrence of the Delinquency Trigger.

Regardless of (i) whether a vote to conduct an asset representations review is called and (ii) the result of any such vote that is conducted, a subsequent vote may be called in the same manner and subject to the same conditions described in this section if a Delinquency Trigger is breached again with respect to a future Collection Period.

The Asset Representations Review Process

Upon the approval of the Noteholders as set forth above under “ —Voting”, the Asset Representations Reviewer will conduct its review of all Receivables that are more than 60 days delinquent as of the end of the most recent Collection Period. Upon receiving access to the review materials, the Asset Representations Reviewer will start its review of such Receivables and complete its review within 60 days after receiving access to all review materials. The review period will be extended by up to an additional 30 days if the Asset Representations Reviewer detects missing review materials that are subsequently provided or receives additional review materials.

The review will consist of performing specific tests for each applicable asset level representation and each reviewed Receivable and determining whether each test was passed, failed or was unable to be completed as a result of missing or incomplete review materials. If a Receivable is paid off, satisfied or repurchased due to a breach of a covenant, representation or warranty, the Asset Representations Reviewer will immediately terminate all tests of such Receivable and the review of such Receivable will be considered complete.

The tests were designed by Carvana to determine whether a reviewed Receivable was not in compliance with the asset level representations made about it in the Transaction Documents at the relevant time, which is usually at origination of the Receivable, the Cutoff Date, or Closing Date. There may be multiple tests for each representation. The Asset Representations Reviewer will not determine whether any noncompliance with the representations and warranties resulted in breaches of the representations and warranties or whether Carvana or the Depositor would be required to repurchase any Receivables. Additionally, the Asset Representations Reviewer will not determine the reason for the delinquency of any Receivable, the creditworthiness of any obligor, the overall quality of any Receivable or the compliance of the Servicer with its covenants with respect to the servicing of the Receivables. The review is not designed to establish cause, materiality or recourse for any failed test. The review is not designed to determine whether Carvana’s origination, underwriting and purchasing policies and procedures are adequate, reasonable or prudent.

Within five Business Days after completion of the review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will deliver to Carvana, the Depositor, the Issuing Entity, the Grantor Trust, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee a report indicating the test results for each reviewed Receivable, including any reviewed Receivable for which the tests were considered failed or complete and the related reason. A summary of the Asset Representations Reviewer’s report, including a description of each test that failed or each test that was considered complete, will be included in the Form 10-D for the Collection Period in which such report was provided. The Indenture Trustee will have no obligation to forward the review report to any investor or any other person.

Carvana and the Depositor will evaluate the Asset Representations Reviewer’s report and any repurchase request received from any party to the Transaction Documents, or any Noteholder in order to determine whether a repurchase of a Receivable is required. After reviewing the report, Carvana and the Depositor will determine if there were breaches of representations and warranties, and Carvana and the Depositor will then decide whether to repurchase the Receivable. Except for the Asset Representations Reviewer in connection with an asset representations review, none of the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Grantor Trust Trustee, or the Asset Representations Reviewer is obligated to investigate the accuracy of the representations and warranties with respect to the Receivables subject to the asset representations review. The Transaction Documents require that any uncured breach of the representations and warranties must materially and adversely affect the interest of the Issuing Entity or investors taken as a whole in the Receivable before Carvana and the Depositor would be required to repurchase such Receivable. Any Noteholder will be entitled to make a repurchase request regarding a breach of the representations and warranties related to a Receivable to the Indenture Trustee. Carvana or the Depositor will report any repurchase request received from a Noteholder, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Grantor Trust Trustee, and the disposition of the request, on a Form ABS-15G that will be filed with the SEC. For more information regarding the exercise of rights by the Indenture Trustee, see “ —Indenture.” For the avoidance of doubt, the Indenture Trustee will not be responsible for determining whether a breach of any representation or warranty or document defect constitutes a breach or defect, or whether such breach constitutes a material breach or defect, or the enforcement of any repurchase obligations.

Limitation of Liability and Termination

The Asset Representations Reviewer’s liability in connection with the Asset Representations Reviewer is limited solely to the express obligations of the Asset Representations Reviewer set forth in the Asset Representations Review Agreement. The Asset Representations Reviewer is not responsible for (a) reviewing the Receivables for compliance with the representations and warranties under the Transaction Documents, except in connection with a review under the Asset Representations Review Agreement or (b) determining whether noncompliance with the representations or warranties constitutes a breach of the Transaction Documents, or if any Receivable is required to be repurchased.

The Asset Representations Reviewer will not be liable for any action taken, or not taken, in good faith under the Asset Representations Review Agreement or for errors in judgment. The Asset Representations Reviewer, however, will be liable for its willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in performing its obligations under the Asset Representations Review Agreement. The Issuing Entity will, or will cause Carvana to, indemnify the Asset Representations Reviewer and its officers, directors, employees and agents for all costs, expenses, losses, damages and liabilities resulting from the performance of the Asset Representations Reviewer’s obligations under the Asset Representations Review Agreement (including the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of defending itself against any

loss, damage or liability), but excluding any cost, expense, loss, damage or liability resulting from the Asset Representations Reviewer’s (i) willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence, (ii) breach of any of its representations or warranties in the Asset Representations Review Agreement or (iii) breach of its obligations related to protecting confidential and personally identifiable information provided to it.

The Asset Representations Reviewer may not resign unless it becomes legally unable to perform its obligations under the Asset Representations Review Agreement and there is no reasonable action that it could take to make the performance of its obligations under the Asset Representations Review Agreement permitted under applicable law. Carvana may also remove the Asset Representations Reviewer if the asset representations reviewer (1) ceases to be eligible to continue as an Asset Representations Reviewer, (2) breaches any of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations contained in the Asset Representations Review Agreement or (3) becomes subject to a bankruptcy event.

The Asset Representations Reviewer will be paid an annual fee equal to $5,000 and, should a review be initiated, the review fee will be $200 per Receivable reviewed. The fees, expenses and amounts owing for indemnification of the Asset Representations Reviewer will be payable by Issuing Entity on each Distribution Date from Available Funds up to the limit of $175,000 per year and, to the extent any fees, expenses and indemnification amounts of the Asset Representations Reviewer are not paid by the Issuing Entity, any such unpaid amounts will be paid by Carvana. The Issuing Entity will pay any of these amounts in excess of the limit only after paying in full on that Distribution Date all other fees and expenses of the Issuing Entity and all required interest and principal payments on the Notes and after any required deposits in the Reserve Account and the Class N Reserve Account have been made. Following an Event of Default, these fees, expenses and indemnities will be paid prior to required interest and principal payments on the Notes. See “Distribution Date Payments—Distribution Date Payments After Acceleration of the Notes.”

Backup Servicing Agreement

The Issuing Entity and the Grantor Trust will appoint the Backup Servicer under the Backup Servicing Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date, among the Issuing Entity, the Grantor Trust, the Servicer, and the Backup Servicer (the “Backup Servicing Agreement”), to review and recalculate the information related to the Receivables set forth in the monthly servicer report. The Backup Servicer will also be prepared to replace the Servicer in the event the Servicer resigns or is terminated under the terms of the Servicing Agreement. The Backup Servicer is not assuming any obligation to supervise, verify, monitor or administer the performance of the Servicer and has no liability for any action taken or omitted by the Servicer.

If the Servicer is terminated or resigns, the Indenture Trustee will appoint the Backup Servicer as successor servicer. If the Indenture Trustee delivers a notice appointing the Backup Servicer as servicer (a “Transfer Notice”), upon the effectiveness of the appointment (the “Successor Servicer Appointment Effective Date”), the Backup Servicer will perform the functions, duties, obligations, undertakings and responsibilities of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement as the successor servicer, except to the extent set forth in the Backup Servicing Agreement. Before the Backup Servicer receives a Transfer Notice, the Backup Servicer will only receive information related to the Receivables and stand ready to act as successor servicer. Additionally, the Backup Servicer will assume within 30 days after the date a Transfer Notice is delivered by the Indenture Trustee the duties and rights of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement.

Upon its appointment as successor servicer, the Backup Servicer will be entitled to receive a one-time servicing transfer fee not to exceed $150,000 in the aggregate (including any boarding fees or other expenses payable by the Issuing Entity) as well as the related servicing fee received by the Servicer.

The Backup Servicer may resign under the Backup Servicing Agreement if (A) the performance of the Backup Servicer’s duties under the Backup Servicing Agreement is no longer permissible under applicable law in a manner which would result in a material adverse effect as evidenced by an opinion of counsel delivered to the Issuing Entity, the Grantor Trust and the Indenture Trustee and (B) the Indenture Trustee, at the direction of the Requisite Noteholders, does not elect to waive the obligations of the Backup Servicer to perform the duties that render the Backup Servicer legally unable to act or allow the Backup Servicer to delegate those duties to another person. The Indenture Trustee, at the direction of the Requisite Noteholders, may terminate the Backup Servicing Agreement following notice to the Backup Servicer and the Hired Rating Agencies in the event of (i) the Backup Servicer admitting in writing its inability to pay its debts, generally as they become due, filing an insolvency petition or making an assignment for the benefit if its creditors or voluntarily suspends payment of its obligations, or (ii) a material breach of the Backup Servicing Agreement by the Backup Servicer which remains uncured for 60 days after notice from the Indenture Trustee. Otherwise, the Backup Servicing Agreement will remain in effect until (x) the payment in full of the Notes (other than the Class XS Notes) and the Certificates, (y) the Backup Servicer becomes the successor servicer or (z) other bankruptcy events with respect to the Backup Servicer.

The Issuing Entity will indemnify and hold harmless the Backup Servicer and its officers, managers, members, employees or agents against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees, and expenses, arising out of or in connection with any third party claims against the Backup Servicer arising out of the Backup Servicing Agreement except to the extent that such indemnified losses are the result of (i) the breach of the Backup Servicing Agreement or any other Transaction Document by the Backup Servicer, (ii) the Backup Servicer’s failure to comply with requirements of federal, state and local laws and regulations, in performing its duties as backup servicer, (iii) the gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct of the Backup Servicer, or (iv) any failure of the representations and warranties made by the Backup Servicer in the Backup Servicing Agreement to be true and correct in all material respects when made.

Table of Contents

The Backup Servicer will indemnify and hold harmless each of the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee, the Grantor Trust, the Grantor Trust Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, and the Servicer and their respective shareholders, members, managers, directors, affiliates, assignees, agents, and employees harmless from and against any and all indemnified losses directly arising from gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Backup Servicer, the Backup Servicer’s material breach of the Backup Servicing Agreement (including any failure of the Backup Servicer’s representations and warranties to be true and correct in all material respects), the Backup Servicer’s failure to comply with applicable law or its standard operating procedures in performing its duties under the Backup Servicing Agreement or any action or omission of the Backup Servicer that compromises the confidential or security of confidential information.

If the Backup Servicer becomes the successor servicer, from and after the Successor Servicer Appointment Effective Date, the indemnification provisions described under “The Transaction DocumentsThe Servicing Agreement and Servicing of the ReceivablesLimitation on Servicer Liability and Indemnification” will be effective rather than the indemnification provisions described in the prior paragraph (except for a matter that would be subject to indemnification arising prior to such date).

Any amounts payable by the Issuing Entity under the Backup Servicing Agreement will be payable solely from funds available therefore as described under “Distribution Date Payments” and “Distribution Date Payments—Distribution Date Payments After Acceleration of the Notes.

Collateral Custodian Agreement

To facilitate the servicing of the Receivables, the Issuing Entity will enter into the Collateral Custodian Agreement with Computershare Trust Company pursuant to which Computershare Trust Company will be authorized to act as collateral custodian and to retain physical possession of the tangible records related to the Receivables or, in connection with the e-vault provider, “control” for purposes of the Uniform Commercial Code over the electronic records held by the Issuing Entity and other documents relating thereto as collateral custodian for the Issuing Entity.

Amendment

Each of the Transaction Documents (other than the Indenture) may be amended, waived, supplemented or modified by the parties thereto without the consent of the Noteholders or Certificateholders:

 

   

to cure any ambiguity,

 

   

to correct or supplement any provision of those agreements that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision of those agreements, or in any other related document, or with any description thereof in this prospectus, any offering memorandum or any private placement memorandum,

 

   

to add to the covenants, restrictions or obligations of the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Grantor Trust Trustee or the Servicer,

 

   

to add, change or eliminate any other provisions of those agreements in any manner that will not, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel, materially and adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders, or

 

   

if the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to such amendment and the Depositor or the Servicer notifies the Indenture Trustee in writing that the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to such amendment.

Additionally, each of the Transaction Documents (other than the Indenture) may also be amended, waived, supplemented or modified to the extent applicable, to add or supplement any credit, liquidity or other enhancement arrangement for the benefit of the Noteholders of any class or the Certificateholders (provided that if any such addition would affect any class of Noteholders differently from any other class of Noteholders, then such addition will not, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any class of Noteholders), and provided that in the case of this paragraph, the consent of the Certificateholders will be required.

Each of the Transaction Documents (other than the Indenture) may also be amended, waived, supplemented or modified by the parties thereto with the consent of the Requisite Noteholders, or if no Notes (other than the Class XS Notes) are Outstanding, the Majority Certificateholders for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders or Certificateholders. No amendment may:

 

   

increase or reduce the interest rate or principal amount of any note or change the Final Scheduled Distribution Date of any note or distributions on the certificates without the consent of the holder thereof, any interest rate, the Specified Reserve Account Balance or the Class N Reserve Account Required Amount, or

 

   

reduce the percentage required of Noteholders or Certificateholders to consent to any amendment without the consent of all of the Noteholders or Certificateholders, as the case may be.

An opinion of counsel must be delivered to the effect that any amendment would not cause either of the Issuing Entity or the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Hired Rating Agencies will be provided notification of the substance of any such amendment prior to the execution of any such amendment.

CERTAIN REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS

Certain Bankruptcy Considerations

The Depositor has been created 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 certificates, notes or other securities of any subsidiary of the Depositor or any other indebtedness, liability or obligation of the Depositor is outstanding, the Depositor is required to have at least one director who qualifies under its limited liability company agreement as an “Independent Director.” If, notwithstanding the foregoing measures, a court concluded that the assets and liabilities of the Depositor should be consolidated with the assets and liabilities of Carvana in the event of the application of the federal bankruptcy laws to Carvana, a filing were made under the United States Bankruptcy Code or similar applicable state laws by or against the Depositor, or an attempt were made to litigate the issue of substantive consolidation with respect to the Depositor and Carvana, then delays in distributions on the Notes, and possible reductions in the amount of these distributions, could occur. See also “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Transaction Parties—Bankruptcy or insolvency of Carvana could adversely affect the performance, liquidity and market value of the Notes.

The Dodd-Frank Act

Orderly Liquidation Authority. The Dodd-Frank Act established Orderly Liquidation Authority (“OLA”), under which the FDIC is authorized to act as receiver of a non-bank financial company and its subsidiaries. OLA differs from 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 Carvana, the Depositor, the Issuing Entity or the Grantor Trust, or such company’s creditors.

Potential Applicability to Carvana, the Depositor, the Issuing Entity and the Grantor Trust. There is uncertainty about which companies will be subject to OLA rather than the Bankruptcy Code. For a company to become subject to OLA, the Secretary of the Treasury (in consultation with the President of the United States) must determine that:

 

   

the company is in default or in danger of default;

 

   

the failure of the company and its resolution under the Bankruptcy Code would have serious adverse effects on financial stability in the United States;

 

   

no viable private sector alternative is available to prevent the default of the company; and

 

   

an OLA proceeding would mitigate these effects.

There can be no assurance that the OLA provisions would not be applied to Carvana, although we expect that OLA will be used only very rarely. The Depositor, the Issuing Entity or the Grantor Trust could, under certain circumstances, also be subject to OLA.

FDIC’s Avoidance Power Under OLA. The provisions of OLA relating to preferential transfers differ from those of the Bankruptcy Code. If Carvana were to become subject to OLA, there is an interpretation under OLA that previous transfers of Receivables by Carvana perfected for purposes of state law and the Bankruptcy Code could nevertheless be avoided as preferential transfers, with the result that the Receivables securing the Notes could be reclaimed by the FDIC and Noteholders may have only an unsecured claim against Carvana.

In December 2010, the Acting General Counsel of the FDIC issued an advisory opinion which concludes that the treatment of preferential transfers under OLA was intended to be consistent with, and should be interpreted in a manner consistent with, the related provisions under the Bankruptcy Code. On July 6, 2011, the FDIC adopted a final regulation which, among other things, codifies the advisory opinion. This final regulation went into effect on August 15, 2011. Based on the advisory opinion and this regulation, the transfer of Receivables by Carvana to the Depositor (so long as such transfer has been perfected by the filing of a UCC financing statement) should not be avoidable by the FDIC as a preference under OLA.

FDIC’s Repudiation Power Under OLA. If the FDIC is appointed receiver of a company under OLA, the FDIC would have the power to repudiate any contract to which the company was a party, if the FDIC determined that performance of the contract was burdensome and that repudiation would promote the orderly administration of the company’s affairs.

In January 2011, the Acting General Counsel of the FDIC issued an advisory opinion confirming:

 

   

that nothing in the Dodd-Frank Act changes the existing law governing the separate existence of separate entities under other applicable law, or changes the enforceability of standard contractual provisions meant to foster the bankruptcy-remote treatment of special purpose entities such as the Depositor, the Issuing Entity, and the Grantor Trust; and

 

   

that, until the FDIC adopts a regulation addressing the application of the FDIC’s powers of repudiation under OLA, the FDIC will not exercise its repudiation authority to reclaim, recover or recharacterize as property of a company in receivership or the receivership assets transferred by that company prior to the end of the applicable transition period of any such future regulation, provided that such transfer satisfies the conditions for the exclusion of such assets from the property of the estate of that company under the Bankruptcy Code.

Table of Contents

Carvana and the Depositor intend that the sale of the Receivables by Carvana to the Depositor will constitute a “true sale” between separate legal entities under applicable state law. As a result, Carvana believes that the FDIC would not be able to recover the Receivables using its repudiation power.

The advisory opinion does not bind the FDIC and could be modified or withdrawn in the future. There can be no assurance that future regulations or subsequent FDIC actions in an OLA proceeding involving Carvana, the Depositor, the Issuing Entity or the Grantor Trust would not be contrary to this opinion.

Regardless of whether the sale of the Receivables by Carvana to the Depositor, is respected as a legal true sale, as receiver for Carvana, the FDIC could, among other things:

 

   

require the Grantor Trust, as assignee of Carvana, the Depositor and the Issuing Entity, to go through an administrative claims procedure to establish its rights to payments collected on the Receivables;

 

   

if the Grantor Trust were a covered subsidiary, require the Indenture Trustee to go through an administrative claims procedure to establish its rights to payment on the Notes;

 

   

request a stay of legal proceedings to liquidate claims or otherwise enforce contractual and legal remedies against Carvana or a covered subsidiary, including the Issuing Entity; or

 

   

if the Grantor Trust were a covered subsidiary, assert that the Indenture Trustee was subject to a 90-day stay on its ability to liquidate claims or otherwise enforce contractual and legal remedies against the Issuing Entity.

If the FDIC, as receiver for Carvana, the Depositor, the Issuing Entity or the Grantor Trust, were to take any of the actions described above, payments on the Notes would be delayed and may be reduced.

If the Grantor Trust were placed in receivership under OLA, the FDIC would have the power to repudiate the Notes. In that case, the FDIC would be required to pay compensatory damages that are no less than the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued interest as of the date the FDIC was appointed receiver and, to the extent that the value of the property that secured the Notes is greater than the principal amount of the Notes and any accrued interest through the date of repudiation or disaffirmance, such accrued interest.

Consumer Protection Laws

Numerous federal and state consumer protection laws and related regulations impose substantial requirements upon creditors and servicers involved in consumer finance. 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 CFPB’s Regulations B and Z, the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, state adoptions of the National Consumer Act and of the Uniform Consumer Credit Code and state motor vehicle retail installment sale acts and other similar laws. Also, the laws of some states 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 the ability of an assignee such as the Indenture Trustee to enforce consumer finance contracts such as the Receivables.

The so-called “Holder-in-Due-Course Rule” of the Federal Trade Commission has the effect of subjecting a seller, and certain related lenders and their assignees, in a consumer credit transaction to all claims and defenses which the obligor in the transaction could assert against the seller of the goods. Liability under the Holder-in-Due-Course Rule is limited to the amounts paid by the obligor under the contract, and the holder of the contract may also be unable to collect any balance remaining due thereunder from the obligor. The Holder-in-Due-Course Rule is generally duplicated by the Uniform Consumer Credit Code, other state statutes or the common law in certain states.

Most of the Receivables will be subject to the requirements of the Holder-in-Due-Course Rule. Accordingly, the Grantor Trust, as holder of the Receivables, will be subject to any claims or defenses that the purchaser of a financed vehicle may assert against the seller of the financed vehicle. Such claims are limited to a maximum liability equal to the amounts paid by the obligor on the Receivable.

If an obligor were successful in asserting any such claim or defense as described above, such claim or defense would constitute a breach of a representation and warranty under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, and would create an obligation of Carvana to repurchase the Receivable from the Depositor unless the breach were cured in all material respects.

Courts have applied general equitable principles to secured parties pursuing repossession or 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 protection of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Courts have generally either upheld the notice provisions of the UCC and related laws as reasonable or have found that the creditor’s repossession and resale do not involve sufficient state action to afford constitutional protection to consumers.

Carvana will represent and warrant to the Depositor in the Receivables Purchase Agreement that, to its knowledge, each Receivable complies as of the Closing Date in all material respects with all requirements of law. If an obligor has a claim against the Grantor Trust for violation of any law and any claim that materially and adversely affects the interests of the investors, taken as a whole, and that violation is not cured, Carvana would be required to repurchase the Receivable from the Depositor.

EU Securitization Rules and UK Securitization Rules

Legislation comprising Regulation (EU) 2017/2402 as amended (including by Regulation (EU) 2021/557) (the “EU Securitization Regulation”) and certain related regulatory technical standards, implementing technical standards and official guidance and any national implementation measures in respect of such regulation (together with the EU Securitization Regulation, the “EU Securitization Rules”) imposes certain restrictions and obligations with regard to securitizations (as such term is defined for purposes of the EU Securitization Regulation). The EU Securitization Rules are in force throughout the EU (and the EU Securitization Regulation is expected also to be implemented in the non-EU member states of the European Economic Area (“EEA”)).

The EU Securitization Rules impose certain requirements (the “EU Investor Requirements”) with respect to any “institutional investor”, defined by the EU Securitization Regulation to include: (a) insurance undertakings and reinsurance undertakings as defined in Directive 2009/138/EC; (b) subject to certain conditions and exceptions, institutions for occupational retirement provision falling within the scope of Directive (EU) 2016/2341, and certain investment managers and authorized entities appointed by such institutions; (c) certain alternative investment fund managers as defined in Directive 2011/61/EU which manage and/or market alternative investment funds in the EU; (d) certain internally-managed investment companies authorized in accordance with Directive 2009/65/EC, and managing companies as defined in that Directive; and (e) credit institutions and investment firms as defined in Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 (and the EU Investor Requirements apply also to certain consolidated affiliates, wherever established or located, of such credit institutions and investment firms).

In addition, in the UK, legislation comprising Regulation (EU) 2017/2402, as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (as amended, the “EUWA”) and as amended (including by the Securitisation (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019) (the “UK Securitization Regulation”) and certain related technical standards and guidance (together with the UK Securitization Regulation, the “UK Securitization Rules”) imposes certain restrictions and obligations with regard to securitizations (as such term is defined for purposes of the UK Securitization Regulation).

The UK Securitization Rules impose certain requirements (the “UK Investor Requirements”) with respect to any “institutional investor”, defined by the UK Securitization Regulation to include: (a) insurance undertakings and reinsurance undertakings as defined in the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (as amended, the “FSMA”); (b) occupational pension schemes as defined in the Pension Schemes Act 1993 that have their main administration in the UK, and certain fund managers of such schemes; (c) AIFMs as defined in the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Regulations 2013 which market or manage AIFs (as defined in such Regulations) in the UK; (d) UCITS as defined in the FSMA, which are authorized open ended investment companies as defined in the FSMA, and management companies as defined in the FSMA; and (e) CRR firms as defined in Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (and the UK Investor Requirements apply also to certain consolidated affiliates, wherever established or located, of such CRR firms). Certain temporary transitional arrangements are in effect, such that, until March 31, 2022, subject to applicable conditions and in certain respects, an investor may be permitted to comply with a provision of the EU Securitization Rules to which it would have been subject before the UK Securitization Rules came into effect, in place of a corresponding provision of the UK Securitization Rules.

Any person subject to the EU Investor Requirements or the UK Investor Requirements (an “SR Investor”) is required (amongst other things), prior to investing in a securitization, to verify certain matters, including that (a) certain credit-granting requirements are satisfied, (b) the originator, sponsor or original lender retains on an ongoing basis a material net economic interest in the securitization which, in any event, will not be less than 5%, in accordance with the EU Securitization Rules or the UK Securitization Rules (as applicable to the relevant SR Investor), and discloses that risk retention, and (c) the originator, sponsor or securitization special purpose entity has, where applicable, made available information in accordance with the EU Securitization Rules or the UK Securitization Rules (as applicable).

Failure by any SR Investor to comply with any applicable requirements of the EU Securitization Rules or the UK Securitization Rules with respect to an investment in the Securities may result in the imposition of a penalty regulatory capital charge on that investment or of other regulatory sanctions and remedial measures.

Neither Carvana, the Depositor nor any other person intends, or is required under the Transaction Documents, to retain a material net economic interest in the securitization constituted by the issuance of the Securities, or to take any other action with regard to such securitization, in a manner prescribed or contemplated by the EU Securitization Rules or the UK Securitization Rules. In particular, no such person undertakes to take any action for purposes of, or in connection with, compliance by any person with any applicable requirement of, the EU Securitization Rules or the UK Securitization Rules.

The arrangements described under “Credit Risk Retention” have not been structured with the objective of ensuring compliance by any person with the requirements of the EU Securitization Rules or the UK Securitization Rules.

Consequently, the Securities may not be a suitable investment for any SR Investor. As a result, the price and liquidity of the Securities in the secondary market may be adversely affected.

Prospective investors are responsible for analyzing their own legal and regulatory position and are advised to consult with their own advisors regarding the suitability of the Securities for investment and, in particular, the scope, applicability and compliance requirements of the EU Securitization Rules and the UK Securitization Rules.

CERTAIN MATERIAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

Qualifications on Opinion of Tax Counsel

The following summary is based upon current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), United Sates Department of the Treasury regulations (“Treasury Regulations”) promulgated thereunder and judicial or ruling authority, all of which are subject to change, which change may be retroactive. The Issuing Entity will be provided with an opinion of Kirkland & Ellis, LLP, as special U.S. tax counsel (“Tax Counsel”), regarding certain U.S. federal income tax matters discussed below. A legal opinion, however, is not binding on the IRS or the courts. No ruling on any of the issues discussed below will be sought from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). Moreover, there are no cases or IRS rulings on similar transactions involving both debt and equity interests issued by a trust with terms similar to those of the Securities. As a result, the IRS may disagree with all or a part of the discussion 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 this prospectus as well as the tax consequences to Noteholders. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors in determining the U.S. federal, state, local, foreign and any other tax consequences to them of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Offered Notes.

The following discussion does not purport to deal with all aspects of federal income taxation that may be relevant to the Noteholders in light of their personal investment circumstances nor, except for limited discussions of particular topics, to holders subject to special treatment under the federal income tax laws, e.g., financial institutions, broker-dealers, life insurance companies, regulated investment companies, tax-exempt organizations, holders whose functional currency is not the United States dollar, an accrual method taxpayer subject to special tax accounting rules as a result of its use of financial statements, holders that hold the Offered Notes as part of a conversion transaction, hedge or hedging transaction, straddle, synthetic security or other integrated transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and traders in securities that have elected to use the mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities. This information is directed to prospective purchasers who purchase Offered Notes in the initial distribution thereof, who are citizens or residents of the U.S., including domestic corporations and partnerships, and who hold the Offered Notes as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. The Depositor strongly recommends that prospective investors consult with their tax advisors as to the federal, state, local, foreign and any other tax considerations to them of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Offered Notes. The following discussion does not purport to furnish information in the level of detail or with the attention to a prospective investor’s specific tax circumstances that would be provided by a prospective investor’s own tax advisor.

If a partnership (including for this purpose any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of Offered Notes, the treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership. A Noteholder that is a partnership and partners in such partnership are encouraged to consult their tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of its Offered Notes.

Tax Characterization of the Issuing Entity

Upon the issuance of the Offered Notes and based on customary assumptions included in its opinion, Kirkland & Ellis LLP, will deliver its opinion on the Closing Date to the effect that under then-existing law and assuming compliance by Carvana, the Depositor, the Issuing Entity, the Grantor Trust, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Grantor Trust Trustee, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, and any other parties to the transaction with all provisions of the Indenture, the Trust Agreement, the Grantor Trust Agreement, and the other Transaction Documents, relying and contingent upon the delivery of certain representations (or deemed representations) and covenants of the transaction participants and the beneficial owners of the Securities, and although no transaction closely comparable to that contemplated herein has been the subject of any Treasury Regulations, revenue ruling or judicial decision, (a) the Issuing Entity will not be taxable as an association (or publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes; (b) the Issuing Entity should be treated as a “grantor trust” within the meaning of subtitle A, Chapter 1, subchapter J, Part I, subpart E of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes; (c) the Grantor Trust will be treated as a “grantor trust” within the meaning of subtitle A, Chapter 1, subchapter J, Part I, subpart E of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and (d) the activities of the Issuing Entity should not cause it to be considered to be engaged in a United States trade or business. Therefore, neither the Issuing Entity nor the Grantor Trust itself will be subject to tax for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Opinions of counsel are not binding on the IRS or courts and are based on certain assumptions, representations and covenants, and there cannot be any assurance that the IRS will not challenge any opinions, or that courts will not uphold any challenge by the IRS. If the Issuing Entity were an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it would have to pay corporate income tax. Any corporate income tax could materially reduce or eliminate cash that would otherwise be distributable with respect to the Offered Notes and the interests treated as equity for tax purposes.

Under the Code, if the Issuing Entity is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, unless the partnership elects otherwise, taxes arising from audit adjustments are required to be paid by the partnership rather than by its partners or members. The parties responsible for the tax administration of the Issuing Entity will have the authority to utilize, and intend to utilize, the exceptions available under these provisions (including Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder) so that the persons treated as the Issuing Entity’s partners, to the fullest extent possible, rather than the Issuing Entity itself, will be liable for any taxes arising from audit adjustments to the Issuing Entity’s taxable income if the Issuing Entity is treated as a partnership. Prospective purchasers are urged to

Table of Contents

consult with their tax advisors regarding the possible effect of these rules. To the extent that the Issuing Entity is liable for any taxes arising from audit adjustments to the Issuing Entity’s taxable income if the Issuing Entity is treated as a partnership, the persons treated as the Issuing Entity’s partners are contractually obligated to reimburse the Issuing Entity in full for the amount paid by the Issuing Entity in respect of such tax liability.

The Issuing Entity is treating the Grantor Trust, which owns the Receivables, as a “grantor trust” for U.S. federal income tax purposes where beneficial ownership of the Grantor Trust is reflected in book entry system. As a result of this grantor trust arrangement, the payments made by the Grantor Trust to the Issuing Entity are considered to be made on interests that are in registered form for purposes of applying the portfolio interest rules. Consequently, subject to the discussion herein, if an offered note issued by the Issuing Entity is held by a nonresident alien, foreign corporation or other person that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Foreign Person”), that noteholder will generally not be subject to withholding tax on the gross interest received by the Issuing Entity from the Grantor Trust. Moreover, subject to the discussion herein, if an offered note issued by the Issuing Entity held by a Foreign Person is recharacterized as equity of the Issuing Entity for income tax purposes, that noteholder will generally not be subject to withholding tax on its distributive share of the gross interest received by the Issuing Entity from the Grantor Trust. In such a situation, if the Grantor Trust itself were to not be treated as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes, the distributive share of gross interest received by the Issuing Entity (i.e., interest received on the Receivables unreduced by interest expense or other expense of the Issuing Entity) from the Receivables may be subject to a 30% withholding tax if such noteholder is a Foreign Person. This would have an adverse impact on the holders of the Offered Notes and the Offered Notes issued by the Issuing Entity.

The Offered Notes

The following discussion of the material federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Offered Notes except for any Offered Notes which is specifically identified as receiving different tax treatment in the accompanying supplement, to the extent it relates to matters of law or legal conclusions with respect thereto, represents the opinion of Tax Counsel with respect to the related Notes on the material matters associated with those consequences, subject to the qualifications set forth in this prospectus and the accompanying supplement.

Characterization as Indebtedness. Upon the issuance of the Offered Notes and based on customary assumptions included in its opinion, Tax Counsel will deliver its opinion on the Closing Date to the effect that under then-existing law and assuming compliance by Carvana, the Depositor, the Issuing Entity, the Grantor Trust, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Grantor Trust Trustee, and any other parties to the transaction with all provisions of the Indenture, the Trust Agreement, the Grantor Trust Agreement, and the other Transaction Documents, relying and contingent upon the delivery of certain representations concerning payment projections related to the Receivables and the Notes, although no transaction closely comparable to that contemplated herein has been the subject of any Treasury Regulations, revenue ruling or judicial decision, the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes will be characterized as indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent the Notes are treated as beneficially owned by a person other than the beneficial owner of the Certificates or its affiliates for such purposes.

Stated Interest. The stated interest on the Notes that constitutes “qualified stated interest” will be taxable to a noteholder that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (“U.S. Holder”) as ordinary interest income when received or accrued in accordance with the U.S. Holder’s method of tax accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Original Issue Discount. The Offered Notes offered hereunder may be issued with more than a de minimis amount of OID. In general, original issue discount (“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 under the Note through maturity except qualified stated interest. Qualified stated interest is generally interest that is unconditionally payable in cash or property, other than debt instruments of the Issuing Entity, at fixed intervals of one year or less during the entire term of the instrument at specified rates. Unconditionally payable means that reasonable legal remedies exist to compel timely payment or that the terms of the instrument make late payment or non-payment sufficiently remote. The Issuing Entity intends to treat for OID reporting purposes the potential that interest could be deferred on the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes as sufficiently remote for purposes of the OID rules so as to not cause the stated interest on those Offered Notes to fail to qualify as qualified stated interest.

The issue price will be the first price at which a substantial amount of Offered Notes are sold, excluding sales to bond holders, brokers or similar persons acting as underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers. If an offered note were treated as being issued with more than a de minimis amount of OID, a U.S. Holder would be required to include OID in income as interest over the term of the Note under a constant yield method using a reasonable prepayment assumption pursuant to Section 1272(a)(6) of the Code. In general, OID must be included in income in advance of the receipt of cash representing that income. Thus, each cash payment would be treated as an amount already included in income, to the extent OID has accrued as of the date of the interest payment and is not allocated to prior payments, or as a repayment of principal. If any stated interest were required to be accrued under the OID rules, this treatment would have no significant effect on U.S. Holders using the accrual method of accounting (except to require the accrual of any discount to par on the Offered Notes). However, cash method U.S. Holders would be required to report such stated interest income on the Offered Notes in advance of the receipt of cash attributable to that income. Even if an offered note was issued at a discount falling within the de minimis exception to the OID accrual rules, the U.S. Holder must include that discount in income (as gain on sale) proportionately as principal payments are made on that Note. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors as to the operation of these rules.

Market Discount. Whether or not the Offered Notes are issued with OID, a subsequent purchaser, that is, a purchaser who acquires an offered note at a sufficient discount to its issue price will be subject to the “Market Discount Rules” of Sections 1276 through 1278 of the Code. In general, these rules provide that if the noteholder purchases the Note at a market discount, which is a discount from its original issue price plus any accrued OID that exceeds a de minimis amount specified in the Code, and thereafter recognizes gain upon a disposition or receives a principal payment, the lesser of:

 

   

the gain or the principal payment; or

 

   

the accrued market discount not previously included in income will be taxed as ordinary income.

Generally, the accrued market discount for each interest accrual period will be the total market discount, not previously included in income, on the Offered Notes multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the interest or OID, if the Note was issued with more than de minimis OID, for such period and the denominator of which is the total interest or OID from the beginning of such period to the Final Scheduled Distribution Date of the Note. The noteholder may elect, however, to determine accrued market discount under the constant yield method. The adjusted basis of an offered note subject to the election will be increased to reflect market discount included in gross income, thereby reducing any gain or increasing any loss on a subsequent sale or taxable disposition. Noteholders are encouraged to consult with their own tax advisors as to the effect of making this election.

Limitations imposed by the Code, which are intended to match deductions with the taxation of income, may defer deductions for interest on indebtedness incurred or continued, or short-sale expenses incurred, to purchase or carry an offered note with accrued market discount. A noteholder who elects to include market discount in gross income as it accrues, however, is exempt from this rule.

Notwithstanding the above rules, market discount on an offered note will be considered to be zero if it is less than a de minimis amount, which is 0.25% of the stated redemption price of the Note at maturity multiplied by its expected remaining life. If market discount is de minimis, the actual amount of discount must be allocated to the remaining principal distributions on the Note, and when the distribution is received, capital gain will be recognized equal to discount allocated to the distribution.

Short Term Note. It is possible that certain Offered Notes will be treated as “Short-Term Notes,” which have a fixed maturity date not more than one year from the issue date. A holder of a Short-Term Note will generally not be required to include OID on the Short-Term Note in income as it accrues, provided the holder of an offered note is not an accrual method taxpayer, a bank, a broker or dealer that holds an offered note as inventory, a regulated investment company or common trust fund, or the beneficial owner of pass-through entities specified in the Code, or provided the holder does not hold the instrument as part of a hedging transaction, or as a stripped bond or stripped coupon. Instead, the holder of a Short-Term Note would include the OID accrued on an offered note in gross income upon a sale or exchange of an offered note or at maturity, or if an offered note is payable in installments, as principal is paid thereon. A holder of a Short-Term Note would be required to defer deductions for any interest expense on an obligation incurred to purchase or carry an offered note except to the extent it exceeds the sum of the interest income, if any, and OID accrued on an offered note. However, a holder may elect to include OID in income as it accrues on all obligations having a maturity of one year or less held by the holder in that taxable year or thereafter, in which case the deferral rule of the preceding sentence will not apply. 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.

Amortizable Bond Premium. In general, if a noteholder purchases an offered note at a premium (that is, an amount in excess of the amount payable upon the maturity thereof), such noteholder will be considered to have purchased such Note with “amortizable bond premium” equal to the amount of such excess. The noteholder may elect to amortize such bond premium as an offset to interest income and not as a separate deduction item as it accrues under a constant yield method over the remaining term of the Note. Such noteholder’s tax basis in the Note will be reduced by the amount of the amortized bond premium. Any such election, properly made, will apply to all debt instruments (other than instruments the interest on which is excludible from gross income) held by the noteholder at the beginning of the first taxable year for which the election applies or thereafter acquired and is irrevocable without the consent of the IRS. Bond premium on an offered note held by a noteholder who does not elect to amortize the premium will remain a part of such noteholder’s tax basis in such Note and will decrease the gain or increase the loss otherwise recognized on a sale or other taxable disposition of the Note.

Net Investment Income. A tax of 3.8% is generally imposed on the “net investment income” of certain individuals, trusts and estates. Among other items, net investment income generally includes gross income from interest and net gain attributable to the disposition of certain property, less certain deductions. United States holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible implications of this legislation in their particular circumstances.

Election to Treat All Interest as Original Issue Discount. A noteholder may elect to include in gross income all interest that accrues on an offered note using a constant yield method. For purposes of this election, interest includes stated interest, OID, de minimis OID, market discount, de minimis market discount and unstated interest, as adjusted by any amortizable bond premium or acquisition premium. In applying the constant yield method to an offered note with respect to which this election has been made, the issue price of the Note will equal the electing noteholder’s adjusted basis in the Note immediately after its acquisition, the issue date of the Note will be the date of its acquisition by the electing noteholder, and no payments on the Note will be treated as payments of qualified stated interest. This election, if made, may not be revoked without the consent of the IRS. Noteholders are encouraged to consult with their own tax advisors as to the effect of making this election in light of their individual circumstances.

Table of Contents

Disposition of Notes. If a noteholder sells an offered note, the noteholder will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale and the noteholder’s adjusted tax basis in the Note. The adjusted tax basis of the Note to a particular noteholder will equal the noteholder’s cost for the Note, increased by any OID and market discount previously included by the noteholder in income from the Note and decreased by any bond premium previously amortized and any principal payments previously received by the noteholder on the Note. Any gain or loss will be capital gain or loss if the Note was held as a capital asset, except for gain representing accrued interest or accrued market discount not previously included in income. Capital gain or loss will be long-term if the Note was held by the holder for more than one year and otherwise will generally be short-term. However, a three year holding period applies for long-term capital gain purposes to certain indirect holders who received their interest in the entity holding the Offered Notes in connection with substantial services. Any capital losses realized generally may be used by a corporate taxpayer only to offset capital gains, and by an individual taxpayer only to the extent of capital gains plus $3,000 of other income.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Each noteholder, other than an exempt holder such as a corporation, tax-exempt organization, qualified pension and profit-sharing trust, individual retirement account or nonresident alien who provides certification as to status as a nonresident, will be required to provide, under penalties of perjury, a certificate containing the holder’s name, address, correct federal taxpayer identification number and a statement that the holder is not subject to backup withholding. Should a nonexempt noteholder fail to provide the required certification, the Issuing Entity will be required to withhold the required amount (currently at a rate of 24%) otherwise payable to the holder and remit the withheld amount to the IRS as a credit against the holder’s federal income tax liability.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts deducted and withheld from a payment should be allowed as a credit against your federal income tax. Furthermore, certain penalties may be imposed by the IRS on a recipient of payments that is required to supply information but that does not do so in the proper manner. The Issuing Entity will report to Noteholders and to the IRS for each calendar year the amount of any “reportable payments” during such year and the amount of tax withheld, if any, with respect to payments on the Offered Notes.

Tax Consequences to Foreign Noteholders. If interest paid or accrued to a noteholder who is a Foreign Person is not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States by the Foreign Person, the interest generally will be considered “portfolio interest,” and generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax and withholding tax, as long as the Foreign Person satisfies certain requirements of the Code, including the requirements that the Foreign Person:

 

   

is not (A) actually or constructively a “10 percent shareholder” of the Issuing Entity or the Depositor, including a holder of 10 percent of the applicable outstanding certificates, (B) a “controlled foreign corporation” with respect to which the Issuing Entity or the Depositor is a “related person” within the meaning of the Code or (C) a bank within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, and

 

   

provides an appropriate statement signed under penalties of perjury, certifying that the beneficial owner of the Note is a Foreign Person and providing that Foreign Person’s name and address. If the information provided in this statement changes, the Foreign Person must so inform the Issuing Entity within 30 days of the change.

If an offered note is held through a securities clearing organization or certain other financial institutions, the organization or institution may provide the signed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or other applicable IRS Form W-8), to the withholding agent. If the interest were not portfolio interest or if applicable certification requirements were not satisfied, then the interest would be subject to U.S. federal income and withholding tax at a rate of 30% unless reduced or eliminated pursuant to an applicable tax treaty.

Any capital gain realized on the sale, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of an offered note by a Foreign Person will be exempt from U.S. 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 Foreign Person and

 

   

in the case of a foreign individual, the Foreign Person is not present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the sale.

If the interest, gain or income on an offered note held by a Foreign Person is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States by the Foreign Person, the holder, although exempt from the withholding tax previously discussed if an appropriate statement is furnished, generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the interest, gain or income at regular federal income tax rates. In addition, if the Foreign Person is a foreign corporation, it may be subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% of the Foreign Person’s “effectively connected earnings and profits” within the meaning of the Code for the taxable year, as adjusted for specified items, unless the Foreign Person qualifies for a lower rate under an applicable tax treaty. A Foreign Person other than an individual or corporation (or an entity treated as such for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holding the Offered Notes on its own behalf may have substantially increased reporting requirements. In particular, in the case of Offered Notes held by a foreign partnership or foreign trust, the partners or beneficiaries, as the case may be, may be required to provide certain additional information.

Possible Alternative Treatments of the Notes.

If, contrary to the opinion of Tax Counsel, the IRS successfully asserted that one or more classes of the Offered Notes did not represent debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes, those Offered Notes would be treated as equity interests in the Issuing Entity. If so treated, the Issuing Entity might (contrary to the opinion of Tax Counsel) be treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation with potentially adverse tax consequences, and the publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation would not be able to reduce its taxable income by deductions for interest expense on any such Offered Notes recharacterized as equity. Alternatively, the Issuing Entity could be treated as a publicly traded partnership that would not be taxable as a corporation because it would meet certain qualifying income tests. Payments on the Offered Notes treated as equity interests in such a partnership would probably be treated as guaranteed payments, which could result in adverse tax consequences to certain holders. For example, income to certain tax-exempt entities, including pension funds, might be “unrelated business taxable income,” and individual holders might be subject to certain limitations on their ability to deduct their share of Issuing Entity expenses.

Treasury Regulations under Section 385 of the Code treat, in certain circumstances, an instrument that otherwise would be treated as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes as equity during periods in which the instrument is held by a member of an “expanded group” that includes the issuer of the instrument. An expanded group is generally a group of corporations or controlled partnerships connected through 80% or greater direct or indirect ownership links.

The Issuing Entity does not believe that these regulations will apply to any of the Offered Notes. However, the regulations are complex and thus have not yet been applied by the IRS or any court. If the Offered Notes were treated as equity under these rules, they may once again be treated as debt when acquired by a holder that is not a member of an expanded group including the Issuing Entity. Offered Notes treated as newly issued under this rule may have tax characteristics differing from Offered Notes that were not previously treated as equity. The Issuing Entity does not intend to separately track any such Offered Notes.

The documents will require that each purchaser of a Class A Note, Class B Note, Class C Note or Class D Note acknowledges and represents that it is not a member of an “expanded group” (within the meaning of the regulations issued under Section 385 of the Code) that includes a domestic corporation (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) if such domestic corporation, directly or indirectly (through one or more entities that are treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as partnerships, disregarded entities, or grantor trusts), owns 80% or more of the capital or profits of the Issuing Entity.

Potential investors in the Offered Notes should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the possible effect of the Section 385 regulations on them, including without limitation with regard to tax consequences where Offered Notes held by them are treated as having tax characteristics that differ from other Offered Notes.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance. FATCA generally imposes a U.S. federal withholding tax of 30% on interest income paid on a debt obligation to: (i) a foreign financial institution (as the beneficial owner or as an intermediary for the beneficial owner), unless such institution enters into an agreement with the U.S. government to collect and provide to the U.S. tax authorities substantial information regarding U.S. account holders of such institution (which would include certain equity and debt holders of such institution, as well as certain account holders that are foreign entities with U.S. owners) and to withhold certain amounts and (ii) a foreign entity that is not a financial institution (as the beneficial owner or as an intermediary for the beneficial owner), unless such entity provides the withholding agent with a certification identifying the substantial U.S. owners of the entity, which generally includes any U.S. person who directly or indirectly owns more than 10% of the entity, in each case, unless another exemption applies. The FATCA withholding rules were initially also applicable to gross proceeds from a sale, exchange or other disposition of debt instruments on or after January 1, 2019. However, proposed Treasury Regulations have been issued that, when finalized, will provide for the repeal of this 30% withholding tax that would have applied to all such payments of gross proceeds. In the preamble to the proposed regulations, the government provided that taxpayers may rely upon this repeal until the issuance of final regulations. Potential investors are encouraged to consult with their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of this legislation on an investment in the Offered Notes.

An intergovernmental agreement between the U.S. and the applicable foreign country, or future Treasury Regulations or other guidance, may modify these requirements. In many cases, Foreign Persons may be able to indicate their exemption from, or compliance with, FATCA by providing a properly completed revised Form W-8BEN or W 8BEN-E, as applicable, to the applicable withholding agent certifying as to such status under FATCA; however, it is possible that additional information and diligence requirements will apply in order for a holder to establish an exemption from withholding under FATCA to the applicable withholding agent. Prospective investors should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the implications of FATCA on their investment in an offered note.

Tax Shelter Disclosure and Investor List Requirements

Treasury Regulations directed at abusive tax shelter activity appear to apply to transactions not conventionally regarded as tax shelters. Such Treasury Regulations require taxpayers to report certain information on IRS Form 8886 if they participate in a “reportable transaction” and to retain certain information related to such transactions. Organizers and promoters of the transaction are required to maintain records including investor lists containing identifying information and to furnish those records to the IRS upon demand.

A transaction may be a “reportable transaction” based upon any of several indicia, one or more of which may be present with respect to your investment. The Code imposes significant penalties for failure to comply with these disclosure requirements. Prospective investors should be aware that the transferor and other participants in the transaction intend to comply with such disclosure and investor list requirements. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning any possible disclosure obligation with respect to their investment.

STATE AND LOCAL TAX CONSEQUENCES

The above discussion does not address the tax treatment of any tax partnership, Offered Notes or Noteholders under any state, local or foreign 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. Additionally, it is possible a state may assert its right to impose tax on the Issuing Entity with respect to its income related to Receivables collected from customers located in such state or require that a noteholder treated as an equity-owner (including non-resident holders) file state income tax returns with the state pertaining to Receivables collected from customers located in such state (and may require withholding on related income). Prospective investors are urged to consult with their tax advisors regarding the state, local and foreign tax consequences for them of purchasing, holding and disposing of Offered Notes.

CERTAIN ERISA CONSIDERATIONS

The discussion under this heading “Certain ERISA Considerations” does not apply to any Offered Notes that are held by the Depositor or one or more affiliates not treated as a separate entity from the Depositor for federal income tax purposes.

Subject to the following discussion, the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, and the Class D Notes may be acquired by pension, profit-sharing or other employee benefit plans that are subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), individual retirement accounts, Keogh plans and other plans covered by Section 4975 of the Code, and entities and accounts deemed to hold plan assets of the foregoing (each of the foregoing, “Benefit Plan Investors”). Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit a Benefit Plan Investor from engaging in particular transactions with persons that are “parties in interest” under ERISA or “disqualified persons” under the Code with respect to such Benefit Plan Investor. A violation of these “prohibited transaction” rules may result in excise tax or other penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code for such persons or the fiduciaries of the Benefit Plan Investor. In addition, Title I of ERISA also requires fiduciaries of a Benefit Plan Investor subject to ERISA to make investments that are, among other things, prudent, diversified and in accordance with the governing plan documents. The prudence of a particular investment must be determined by the responsible fiduciary of a Benefit Plan Investor by taking into account the particular circumstances of the Benefit Plan Investor and all of the facts and circumstances of the investment, including, but not limited to, the matters discussed under “Risk Factors” and the fact that in the future, there may be no market in which such fiduciary will be able to sell or otherwise dispose of the Offered Notes should the Benefit Plan Investor purchase them. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, any reference in this section to the acquisition, holding or disposition of the Offered Notes will mean the acquisition, holding or disposition of a beneficial interest in such Offered Notes. Employee benefit plans that are governmental plans (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA) and some church plans (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA) are not subject to ERISA requirements; however, governmental and church plans may be subject to federal, state or local law restrictions similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (“Similar Law”).

Certain transactions involving the Issuing Entity might be deemed to constitute prohibited transactions under ERISA and the Code with respect to a Benefit Plan Investor that purchased the Offered Notes if assets of the Issuing Entity were deemed to be assets of the Benefit Plan Investor. Under Section 3(42) of ERISA and a regulation issued by the United States Department of Labor (the “Plan Asset Regulation”), the assets of the Issuing Entity would be treated as plan assets of a Benefit Plan Investor for the purposes of ERISA and the Code only if the Benefit Plan Investor acquired an “equity interest” in the Issuing Entity and none of the exceptions contained in the Plan Asset Regulation was applicable. An equity interest is defined under the Plan Asset Regulation as an interest other than an instrument which is characterized as indebtedness under applicable local law and which has no substantial equity features. Although there is little guidance on the subject, it is anticipated that, at the time of their issuance, the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D Notes should not be treated as equity interests of the Issuing Entity for purposes of the Plan Asset Regulation. This determination is based in part upon the traditional debt features of the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D Notes, including the reasonable expectation of purchasers of such Offered Notes that such Offered Notes will be repaid when due, as well as the absence of conversion rights, warrants and other typical equity features.

However, without regard to whether the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D Notes are treated as equity interests for purposes of the Plan Asset Regulation, the acquisition or holding of the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D Notes by, or on behalf of, a Benefit Plan Investor could be considered to give rise to a prohibited transaction if Carvana, the Servicer, the Depositor, the Issuing Entity, the Grantor Trust, the Administrator, the Owner Trustee, the Grantor Trust Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or any underwriter or any of their respective affiliates (the “Transaction Parties”) is or becomes a party in interest or a disqualified person with respect to such Benefit Plan Investor. In making the determination of whether the acquisition or holding of the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D Notes by or on behalf of a Benefit Plan Investor could give rise to a prohibited transaction, each Benefit Plan Investor should consider whether any of the Transaction Parties will act as a fiduciary, or render investment advice for a fee or other compensation, direct or indirect, or has authority to do so, pursuant to ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or otherwise, with respect to the acquisition or holding of such Offered Notes by such Benefit Plan Investor (or by any fiduciary acting on behalf of such Benefit Plan Investor). A statutory exemption under Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code provides an exemption for some transactions between Benefit Plan Investors and a person or entity that is a party in interest or disqualified person to such Benefit Plan Investor solely by reason of providing services to the Benefit Plan Investor (other than a party in interest or disqualified person 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 Investor involved in the transaction), provided that there is adequate consideration for the transaction. In addition, certain class exemptions could offer broader relief for the purchase and holding of the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D Notes by a Benefit Plan Investor depending on the type and circumstances of the plan fiduciary making the decision to acquire such Offered Notes. Included among these exemptions are: Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 96-23, regarding transactions effected by “in-house asset managers”; PTCE 95-60, regarding investments by insurance company general accounts; PTCE 90-1, regarding investments by insurance company pooled separate accounts; PTCE 91-38, regarding investments by bank collective investment funds; and PTCE 84-14, regarding transactions effected by “qualified professional asset managers.” Even if the conditions specified in one or more of these exemptions are met, the scope of the relief provided by these exemptions 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 Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D Notes, and prospective purchasers that are Benefit Plan Investors should consult with their legal advisors regarding the applicability of any such exemption. Each purchaser and transferee of a Class A, Class B, Class C or Class D

Table of Contents

Note or a beneficial interest therein, will be deemed to represent and warrant that either (i) it is not (and, for so long as it holds such note or beneficial interest will not be) a Benefit Plan Investor or a governmental, non-U.S. or church plan that is subject to Similar Law or (ii) its acquisition and holding of such note or beneficial interest therein will not constitute or give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a violation of Similar Law.

Each Benefit Plan Investor or other plan fiduciary considering the purchase of the Class A, Class B, Class C or Class D Notes should consult with its counsel and carefully review the ERISA considerations applicable to the Notes. The sale of any Notes to a Benefit Plan Investor or other plan or arrangement subject to Similar Law (together, “Plans”) is in no respect a representation that this investment meets all relevant legal requirements with respect to investments by Plans generally or by a particular Plan, or that this investment is appropriate for Plans generally or any particular Plan.

None of Carvana, the Servicer, the Depositor, the Issuing Entity, the Grantor Trust, the Administrator, the Owner Trustee, the Grantor Trust Trustee, Indenture Trustee, the underwriters or any of their respected affiliated entities will act as a fiduciary to a plan with respect to such Plan’s decision to invest in the Offered Notes, to provide impartial investment advice or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the acquisition of any of the Offered Notes by any Plan.

Some or all of one or more classes of Notes may be retained initially by the Depositor or one or more affiliates, and, in any event, the Sponsor or one or more of its majority-owned affiliates will retain 5% of the certificates and 5% of each class of Notes in satisfaction of Carvana’s risk retention obligations under Regulation RR as described in “Credit Risk Retention.” If retained, such retained Notes may be sold, subject to certain limitations and the risk retention requirements, from time to time to purchasers, directly by the Depositor or its affiliates or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Depositor or from the purchases of such retained Notes. If such retained Notes are sold through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, the Depositor or such affiliate will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. Such retained Notes may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, prevailing market prices at the time of sale, varying prices determined at the time of sale or negotiated prices.

The Depositor has been advised by the underwriters that they propose initially to offer the Offered Notes to the public at the prices set forth on the cover page hereof, and to dealers at these prices less a selling concession not in excess of the percentage set forth below for each class of Offered Notes. The underwriters may allow, and these dealers may reallow to other dealers, a subsequent concession not in excess of the percentage set forth below for each class of Offered Notes. After the initial public offering, the public offering price and such concessions may be changed. In the event of sales to affiliates, one or more of the underwriters may be required to forego a portion of the selling concession they would otherwise be entitled to receive.

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters are subject to specified conditions precedent and that the underwriters will purchase all the Offered Notes if any of such notes are purchased.

The Notes are a new issue of securities with no established trading market. Carvana and the Depositor do not intend to apply for listing of the Notes on a national securities exchange. The underwriters have advised Carvana and the Depositor that they intend to act as market makers for the Offered Notes (other than any Notes that are initially retained by the Depositor or one or more affiliates thereof on the Closing Date). Nevertheless, the underwriters are not obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that a secondary market for the Offered Notes will develop. If a secondary market for the Offered Notes does develop, it might end at any time or it might not be sufficiently liquid to enable you to resell any of your Offered Notes.

Until the distribution of the Offered 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 Offered Notes. As an exception to these rules, an underwriter is permitted to engage in certain transactions that stabilize the prices of the Offered Notes. Such transactions consist of bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of such Offered Notes.

In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the Offered Notes. Such transactions may include stabilization transactions under Regulation M of the Exchange Act, pursuant to which an underwriter may bid for or purchase the Offered Notes for the purpose of stabilizing their market price. In addition, the

Table of Contents

underwriters may impose “penalty bids” whereby they may reclaim from a dealer participating in the offering the selling concession with respect to the Offered Notes that the dealer distributed in the offering but subsequently purchased for the account of the underwriters in the open market. Any of the transactions described in this paragraph may result in the maintenance of the price of the Offered Notes at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. None of the transactions described in this paragraph is required, and, if they are taken, such transactions may be discontinued at any time without notice.

The Sponsor and the Depositor have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against some liabilities, including civil liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribute to payments which the underwriters may be required to make in respect of some liabilities, including civil liabilities under the Securities Act.

It is expected that delivery of the Offered 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 two Business Days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Offered Notes on the date hereof will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Offered Notes initially will settle more than two 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 Offered Notes who wish to trade Offered Notes on the date hereof consult their own advisors.

As discussed under “Use of Proceeds” above, Carvana will use the net proceeds from the sale of the Offered Notes for general corporate purposes. Carvana will also use a portion of the net proceeds to repay certain “warehouse” debt, including debt owed to one or more of the underwriters or their respective affiliates, secured by the Receivables prior to their sale to the Issuing Entity. Certain underwriters or their respective affiliates act as administrator or provide credit lines for such warehouse debt.

Notice to Investors: European Economic Area

The Offered Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to, and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to, any EU Retail Investor (as defined below) in the EEA. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the “EU PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the Offered Notes or otherwise making them available to EU Retail Investors in the EEA has been prepared; and therefore offering or selling the Offered Notes or otherwise making them available to any EU Retail Investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the EU PRIIPs Regulation.

CREDIT RISK RETENTION

Carvana, as sponsor, or one of its majority-owned affiliates (each, a “MOA”) is required to retain an economic interest in the credit risk of the Receivables sold to the Depositor on the Closing Date under the risk retention regulations in 17 C.F.R. § 246.1, et seq. (“Regulation RR”).

Eligible Vertical Interest

The Sponsor intends to satisfy its obligations under Regulation RR by retaining or causing the MOA to retain at least 5% of each class of Notes and the certificates, which satisfies the requirements for an “eligible vertical interest” under Regulation RR (the “EVI”). The Sponsor or the MOA is required to retain this interest until the later of two years from the Closing Date, the date the Pool Balance is one-third or less of the initial Pool Balance, or the date the principal amount of the outstanding Notes is one-third or less of the initial principal amount. The Sponsor, the Depositor, or any of their affiliates may not hedge the credit risk of the retained interest during this period. In contrast, Regulation RR allows the Sponsor or the MOA to enter into certain arrangements to finance the acquisition of risk retention interests, including through a repurchase agreement. Nevertheless, there is no guidance from any regulatory agency as to whether the terms and conditions of certain methods of financing arrangements the Sponsor or the MOA may enter into comply or do not comply with Regulation RR. As a result, it is possible that a regulatory agency would make a determination that the terms and conditions of any financing arrangement entered into by the Sponsor or the MOA fail to comply with Regulation RR on the effective date of such facility or at any other time during the term of such facility.

By retaining the EVI, the Sponsor or the MOA will be a noteholder of approximately 5% of each class of Notes and will be entitled to receive approximately 5% of all payments of interest and principal made on each class of Notes and, if any class of Notes incurs losses, will bear approximately 5% of those losses. Each class of Notes retained by the Sponsor or the MOA as part of the EVI will have the same terms as all other Notes in that class, except that the Notes retained by the Sponsor or the MOA will not be included for purposes of determining whether a required percentage of any class of Notes have taken any action under the Indenture or any other Transaction Document. For a description of the Notes, and thus of the “eligible vertical interest,” and the credit enhancement available for Notes, see “Credit Enhancement” and “Description of the Transaction Documents.

AFFILIATIONS AND RELATIONSHIPS AMONG TRANSACTION PARTIES

Neither the Owner Trustee nor the Grantor Trust Trustee is an affiliate of any of Carvana, the Depositor, the Issuing Entity, the Grantor Trust, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Asset Representations Reviewer. The Owner Trustee and the Grantor Trust Trustee and one or more of their affiliates may, from time to time, engage in transactions with Carvana, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, or affiliates of any of them, that are distinct from its role as Owner Trustee or Grantor Trust Trustee, including transactions both related and unrelated to the securitization of motor vehicle receivables.

The Indenture Trustee is not an affiliate of any of Carvana, the Depositor, the Issuing Entity, the Grantor Trust, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Grantor Trust Trustee or the Asset Representations Reviewer. The Indenture Trustee and one or more of its affiliates, however, may, from time to time, engage in transactions with Carvana, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Grantor Trust Trustee, or affiliates of any of them, that are distinct from its role as indenture trustee, including transactions both related and unrelated to the securitization of motor vehicle receivables.

The Asset Representations Reviewer is not an affiliate of any of Carvana, the Depositor, the Issuing Entity, the Grantor Trust, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or the Grantor Trust Trustee. Nevertheless, Carvana, the Depositor and the Servicer may, from time to time, engage in arm’s-length transactions with the Asset Representations Reviewer or its affiliates, including transactions both related and unrelated to the securitization of motor vehicle receivables.

Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, an underwriter for the Offered Notes, and Wells Fargo Bank, the initial Account Holder, are affiliates and engage in transactions with each other involving securitizations.

Carvana and the Depositor are affiliates and may in the future engage in other transactions with each other involving securitizations and sales of motor vehicle receivables. Carvana caused the Depositor to form the Issuing Entity and the Grantor Trust.

The Servicer is an affiliate of Carvana and services all of the motor vehicle receivables originated by Carvana, including contracts that Carvana has securitized or sold. Carvana has also contracted with affiliates of the Servicer for certain administrative services.

RATINGS

The Depositor expects that the Offered Notes will receive credit ratings from two Hired Rating Agencies.

The Hired Rating Agencies have discretion to monitor and adjust the ratings on the Offered Notes.

In addition, the Offered Notes may receive an unsolicited rating from a rating agency not hired by Carvana that is different from the ratings provided by the Hired Rating Agencies.

Annex I

Static Pool Information

The following information represents delinquencies, prepayments and cumulative net losses, as of November 30, 2021, with respect to (a) historical loan originations relating to all obligors, regardless of Deal Score, by vintage origination year within the preceding six years and (b) historical loan originations relating to Prime Obligors (obligors with Deal Scores of 50 or higher at the time of origination) by vintage origination year within the preceding six years, are included in Annex I to this prospectus. The static pool data set forth below is incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

The characteristics of Receivables included in the static pool data below, 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 the transaction described in the prospectus and the social, economic and other conditions existing at the time when these Receivables were originated and those that will exist in the future when they are required to be repaid. Losses, prepayments and delinquencies for the pool of Receivables in the transaction described in the prospectus may differ from the information shown below. Additional historical loan originations relating to Prime Obligors (obligors with Deal Scores of 50 or higher at the time of origination) has been filed by the Depositor with the SEC. See “Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference.”

Delinquent means with respect to a Receivable, if payment in excess of 10% of a scheduled payment has not been received by the payment due date as of the end of the monthly period. For the avoidance of doubt, delinquencies do not include bankruptcy and repossessions. Delinquent Receivables are generally charged-off by the Servicer if they are 120 days or more delinquent at the end of a calendar month.

Delinquency means the ratio of the month-end sum of principal balances for which the Obligor was in the range of the specified number of days past due divided by month-end principal balance.

The Cumulative Net Loss means the cumulative sum of the ratio of the principal balances charged-off less recovery proceeds net of liquidation expenses received in a given period divided by the original amounts financed.

The Total ABS (%) means a measurement of the non-scheduled amortization of the pool of receivables that is derived by calculating a monthly single month mortality rate (“SMM”), which is the sum of the non-scheduled reduction in the pool of receivables, including voluntary prepayments and amounts charged-off, divided by the beginning of month pool balance less any scheduled payments. The scheduled principal is calculated by rounding the remaining term to the nearest whole number and assumes that the receivables have been aggregated into one pool. The non-scheduled amortization is assumed to be the difference between the beginning pool balance less the scheduled principal minus the actual ending pool balance. The SMM is converted into ABS Total (%) by dividing (a) the product of one-hundred and the SMM by (b) the sum of (i) one-hundred and (ii) the SMM multiplied by the age of the pool, in months, minus one.
