each Subsequent Transfer Agreement is held not to be a sale, this Agreement
and each Subsequent Transfer Agreement shall constitute a grant of a security
interest to the Trust in the property referred to in this Section 2.1 or
transferred to the Trust pursuant to the related Subsequent Transfer
Agreement.
SECTION 2.2. CUSTODY OF RECEIVABLE FILES.
(a) In connection with the sale, transfer and assignment of the

In connection with the grant of the security interest in the Trust
Estate to the Issuer Secured Parties pursuant to the Indenture, the Trust agrees

Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have assumed the obligations of the
Custodian specified in the Custodian Agreement.

to the Custodian of a receipt signed by such officer, cause the original
Receivable and the related Receivable File to be released to the Servicer. The
Servicer's receipt of a Receivable and/or Receivable File shall obligate the
Servicer to return the original Receivable and the related Receivable File to
the Custodian when its need by the Servicer has ceased unless the Receivable
shall be repurchased as described in Section 2.6 or 3.7.
SECTION 2.3. CONDITIONS TO ACCEPTANCE BY OWNER TRUSTEE. As

enforce the provisions of Sections 2.3(c) and 6.2 of the Closing Date
Purchase Agreement, Section 2.4(c) hereof (with respect to Class A-1 Holdback
Amounts) and Section 4.7(c) hereof, Section 10.01(b) of the Indenture and
Section 5.2 of the Trust Agreement with respect to payment of the Certificate
Prepayment Premium, Class A-1 Prepayment Premium, Class A-2 Prepayment
Premium, Class A-3 Prepayment Premium, Class A-4 Prepayment Premium and Class
A-5 Prepayment Premium.
SECTION 2.5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER. By its
execution of this Agreement and each Subsequent Transfer Agreement, the
Seller makes the following representations and warranties on which the Trust
relies in accepting the Receivables and the other Trust Property in trust and
on which the Owner Trustee relies in issuing on behalf of the Trust, the
Certificates and Notes and upon which the Security Insurer relies in issuing

(e) VALID SALE; BINDING OBLIGATIONS. This Agreement and the
related Subsequent Transfer Agreement, if any, effects a valid sale,
transfer and assignment of the Receivables and the other Trust Property,
enforceable against the Seller and creditors of and purchasers from the
Seller; and this Agreement and the related Subsequent Transfer
Agreement, if any, and the Seller's Related Documents, when duly
executed and delivered, shall constitute legal, valid and binding
obligations of the Seller enforceable in accordance with their
respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by equitable limitations
on the availability of specific remedies, regardless of whether such
enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
(f) NO VIOLATION. The consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the related Subsequent Transfer
Agreement, if any, and the Related Documents and the fulfillment of the

of incorporation or by-laws of the Seller, or any indenture, agreement,
mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument to which the Seller is a

pending or, to the Seller's knowledge, threatened against the Seller or

Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange
-36-
Commission thereunder that upon such filing would be deemed to be
incorporated by reference in the Prospectus that has not been so filed.
SECTION 2.6. REPURCHASE OF RECEIVABLES UPON BREACH OF WARRANTY.
Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the
applicable Subsequent Transfer Agreement, as appropriate, OFL and the Seller
have entered into the Purchase Agreements or Subsequent Purchase Agreement,
as applicable, the rights of the Seller under which have been assigned by the
Seller to the Trust. Under the Purchase Agreements and each Subsequent
Purchase Agreement, if applicable, OFL has made the same representations and
warranties to the Seller with respect to the Receivables as those made by
Seller pursuant to the Schedule of Representations, upon which the Owner
Trustee has relied in accepting the Trust Property in trust and executing the
Certificates and Notes and upon which the Security Insurer has relied in
issuing the Policies and upon which the Indenture Trustee has relied in
authenticating the Notes. Upon discovery by any of OFL, the Seller, the
Servicer, the Security Insurer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee of
a breach of any of the representations and warranties contained in Section
2.5 that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders,
the Certificateholders, the Security Insurer or the Trust in any Receivable
(including any Liquidated Receivable), the party discovering such breach
shall give prompt written notice to the others; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
failure to give any such notice shall not affect any obligation of OFL or the
Seller. As of the second Accounting Date (or, at OFL's election, the first
Accounting Date) following its discovery or its receipt of notice of any
breach of the representations and warranties set forth on the Schedule of
Representations that materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Noteholders, the Certificateholders, the Security Insurer or the Trust in any
Receivable (including any Liquidated Receivable), OFL shall, unlesssuch
breach shall have been cured in all material respects, purchase such
Receivable from the Trust and, on or before the related Deposit Date, OFL
shall pay the Purchase Amount to the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 4.5.
The obligations of the Seller with respect to any such breach of
representations and warranties shall be limited to taking any and all actions
necessary to enable the Owner Trustee to enforce directly the obligations of
OFL under the Purchase Agreement or Subsequent Purchase Agreement, as
applicable. It is understood and agreed that, except as set forth in this
Section 2.6, the obligation of OFL to repurchase any Receivable as to which a
breach has occurred and is continuing shall, if such obligation is fulfilled,
constitute the sole remedy against OFL or the Seller for such breach
available to the Security Insurer, the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the
Noteholders or the Owner Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders.
In addition to the foregoing and notwithstanding whether the related
Receivable shall have been purchased by the Seller or OFL, OFL shall
indemnify the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the
Collateral Agent, the Security Insurer, the Trust, the Noteholders and the
Certificateholders against all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and
liabilities, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, which may be
asserted against or incurred by any of them
-37-
as a result of third party claims arising out of the events or facts giving
rise to such breach.
SECTION 2.7. NONPETITION COVENANT. None of the Seller, the
Servicer, the Owner Trustee (in its individual capacity or on behalf of the
Trust), the Backup Servicer nor OFL shall petition or otherwise invoke the
process of any court or government authority for the purpose of commencing or
sustaining a case against the Trust or either General Partner under any
federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a
receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other
similar official of the Trust or any substantial part of its property, or
ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Trust.
SECTION 2.8. COLLECTING LIEN CERTIFICATES NOT DELIVERED ON THE
CLOSING DATE OR SUBSEQUENT TRANSFER DATE. In the case of any Receivable in
respect of which written evidence from the Dealer selling the related
Financed Vehicle that the Lien Certificate for such Financed Vehicle showing
OFL as first lienholder has been applied for from the Registrar of Titles was
delivered to the Custodian on the Closing Date or Subsequent Transfer Date,
as appropriate, in lieu of a Lien Certificate, the Servicer shall use its
best efforts to collect such Lien Certificate from the Registrar of Titles as
promptly as practicable. If such Lien Certificate showing OFL as first
lienholder is not received by the Custodian within 180 days after the Closing
Date or Subsequent Transfer Date, as appropriate, then the representation and
warranty in Paragraph 18 of the Schedule of Representations in respect of
such Receivable shall be deemed to have been incorrect in a manner that
materially and adversely affects the Certificateholders, the Noteholders, the
Security Insurer and the Trust.
SECTION 2.9. TRUST'S ASSIGNMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE RECEIVABLES AND
WARRANTY RECEIVABLES. With respect to all Administrative Receivables and all
Warranty Receivables purchased by the Servicer, the Seller or OFL, the Owner
Trustee shall take any and all actions reasonably requested by the Seller,
OFL or Servicer, at the expense of the requesting party, to assign, without
recourse, representation or warranty, to the Seller, OFL or the Servicer, as
applicable, all the Trust's right, title and interest in and to such
purchased Receivable, all monies due thereon, the security interests in the
related Financed Vehicles, proceeds from any Insurance Policies, proceeds
from recourse against Dealers on such Receivables and the interests of the
Trust in certain rebates of premiums and other amounts relating to the
Insurance Policies and any documents relating thereto, such assignment being
an assignment outright and not for security; and the Seller, OFL or the
Servicer, as applicable, shall thereupon own such Receivable, and all such
security and documents, free of any further obligation to the Owner Trustee,
the Trust, the Indenture Trustee, the Security Insurer, the Indenture
Collateral Agent, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders with respect
thereto.

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES
SECTION 3.1. DUTIES OF THE SERVICER. The Servicer is hereby
authorized to act as agent for the Trust and in such capacity shall manage,
service, administer and make collections on the Receivables, and perform the
other actions required by the Servicer under this Agreement. The Servicer
agrees that its servicing of the Receivables shall be carried out in
accordance with customary and usual procedures of institutions which service
motor vehicle retail installment sales contracts and, to the extent more
exacting, the degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises from
time to time with respect to all comparable motor vehicle receivables that it
services for itself or others. In performing such duties, so long as OFL is
the Servicer, it shall comply with the policies and procedures attached
hereto as Schedule B. The Servicer's duties shall include, without
limitation, collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries
of Obligors on the Receivables, investigating delinquencies, sending payment
coupons to Obligors, reporting any required tax information to Obligors,
policing the collateral, complying with the terms of the Lockbox Agreement,
accounting for collections and furnishing monthly and annual statements to
the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Security Insurer with
respect to distributions, monitoring the status of Insurance Policies with
respect to the Financed Vehicles and performing the other duties specified
herein. The Servicer shall also administer and enforce all rights and
responsibilities of the holder of the Receivables provided for in the Dealer
Agreements (and shall maintain possession of the Dealer Agreements, to the
extent it is necessary to do so), the Dealer Assignments and the Insurance
Policies, to the extent that such Dealer Agreements, Dealer Assignments and
Insurance Policies relate to the Receivables, the Financed Vehicles or the
Obligors. To the extent consistent with the standards, policies and
procedures otherwise required hereby, the Servicer shall follow its customary
standards, policies, and procedures and shall have full power and authority,
acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with such managing,
servicing, administration and collection that it may deem necessary or
desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer is
hereby authorized and empowered by the Owner Trustee to execute and deliver,
on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trust or any of them, any and all
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or
discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the
Receivables and with respect to the Financed Vehicles; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not, except pursuant
to an order from a court of competent jurisdiction, release an Obligor from
payment of any unpaid amount under any Receivable or waive the right to
collect the unpaid balance of any Receivable from the Obligor, except that
the Servicer may forego collection efforts if the amount subject to
collection is DE MINIMIS and if it would forego collection in accordance with
its customary procedures. The Servicer is hereby authorized to commence, in
its own name or in the name of the Trust (provided the Servicer has obtained
the Owner Trustee's consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
-39-
withheld), a legal proceeding to enforce a Receivable pursuant to Section 3.3
or to commence or participate in any other legal proceeding (including,
without limitation, a bankruptcy proceeding) relating to or involving a
Receivable, an Obligor or a Financed Vehicle. If the Servicer commences or
participates in such a legal proceeding in its own name, the Trust shall
thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned such Receivable to the
Servicer solely for purposes of commencing or participating in any such
proceeding as a party or claimant, and the Servicer is authorized and
empowered by the Owner Trustee to execute and deliver in the Servicer's name
any notices, demands, claims, complaints, responses, affidavits or other
documents or instruments in connection with any such proceeding. The Owner
Trustee shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other
documents which the Servicer may reasonably request and which the Servicer
deems necessary or appropriate and take any other steps which the Servicer
may deem necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its
servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.
SECTION 3.2. COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLE PAYMENTS; MODIFICATIONS OF
RECEIVABLES; LOCKBOX AGREEMENTS.
(a) Consistent with the standards, policies and procedures required
by this Agreement, the Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all
payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Receivables as and
when the same shall become due, and shall follow such collection procedures
as it follows with respect to all comparable automobile receivables that it
services for itself or others and otherwise act with respect to the
Receivables, the Dealer Agreements, the Dealer Assignments, the Insurance
Policies and the other Trust Property in such manner as will, in the
reasonable judgment of the Servicer, maximize the amount to be received by
the Trust with respect thereto. The Servicer is authorized in its discretion
to waive any prepayment charge, late payment charge or any other similar fees
that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing any Receivable.
(b) The Servicer may at any time agree to a modification, amendment
or extension of a Receivable in order to (i) change the Obligor's regular due
date to a date within the Monthly Period in which such due date occurs,
(ii) re-amortize the scheduled payments on the Receivable following a partial
prepayment of principal and (iii) grant extensions on a Recievable, provided
that the Servicer shall not be permitted to extend the monthly payments on a
Receivable more than two times in any twelve-month period, and provided
further that the aggregate period of all extensions on a Receivable shall not
exceed six months.
(c) The Servicer may grant payment extensions on, or other
modifications or amendments to, a Receivable (in addition to those
modifications permitted by Section 3.2(b)) in accordance with its customary
procedures if the Servicer believes in good faith that such extension,
modification or amendment is necessary to avoid a default on such Receivable,
will maximize the amount to be
-40-
received by the Trust with respect to such Receivable, and is otherwise in
the best interests of the Trust; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that:
(i) In no event may a Receivable be extended beyond the
Monthly Period immediately preceding the Final Scheduled Distribution
Date;
(ii) So long as an Insurer Default shall not have occurred
and be continuing, the Servicer shall not amend or modify a Receivable
(except as provided in Section 3.2(b)) without the consent of the
Security Insurer;
(iii) So long as an Insurer Default shall not have occurred
and be continuing, the Aggregate Principal Balance of Receivables which
have been extended during any Monthly Period (computed as of the
Accounting Date immediately prior to the first day of the related
Monthly Period) shall not exceed 3.0% of the Aggregate Principal Balance
as of the Accounting Date immediately prior to the first day of the
related Monthly Period;
(iv) No such extension, modification or amendment shall be
granted if such action, when aggregated with all previous extensions,
modifications and amendments of Receivables, would have the effect of
causing any Notes to be deemed to have been exchanged for other Notes
within the meaning of Section 1001 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended, or any proposed, temporary or final Treasury Regulations
issued thereunder; and
(v) If an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Servicer may not extend or modify any Receivable (other
than as permitted by Section 3.2(b)).
(d) The Servicer shall use its best efforts to cause Obligors to
make all payments on the Receivables, whether by check or by direct debit of
the Obligor's bank account, to be made directly to one or more Lockbox Banks,
acting as agent for the Trust pursuant to a Lockbox Agreement. Amounts
received by a Lockbox Bank in respect of the Receivables may initially be
deposited into a demand deposit account maintained by the Lockbox Bank as
agent for the Trust and for other owners of automobile receivables serviced
by the Servicer. The Servicer shall use its best efforts to cause any
Lockbox Bank to deposit all payments on the Receivables in the Lockbox
Account no later than the Business Day after receipt, and to cause all
amounts credited to the Lockbox Account on account of such payments to be
transferred to the Collection Account no later than the second Business Day
after receipt of such payments. The Lockbox Account shall be a demand
deposit account held by the Lockbox Bank, or at the request of the Security
Insurer (unless an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing) an
Eligible Account satisfying clause (i) of the definition thereof.
-41-
Prior to the Closing Date and each Subsequent Transfer Date, as
applicable, the Servicer shall have notified each Obligor that makes its
payments on the Receivables by check to make such payments thereafter
directly to the Lockbox Bank (except in the case of Obligors that have
already been making such payments to the Lockbox Bank), and shall have
provided each such Obligor with a supply of mailing address labels in order
to enable such Obligors to make such payments directly to the Lockbox Bank
for deposit into the Lockbox Account, and the Servicer will continue, not
less often than every three months, to so notify those Obligors who have
failed to make payments to the Lockbox Bank. If and to the extent requested
by the Security Insurer (unless an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be
continuing), the Servicer shall request each Obligor that makes payment on
the Receivables by direct debit of such Obligor's bank account, to execute a
new authorization for automatic payment which in the judgment of the Security
Insurer is sufficient to authorize direct debit by the Lockbox Bank on behalf
of the Trust. If at any time the Lockbox Bank is unable to directly debit an
Obligor's bank account that makes payment on the Receivables by direct debit
and if such inability is not cured within 15 days or cannot be cured by
execution by the Obligor of a new authorization for automatic payment, the
Servicer shall notify such Obligor that it cannot make payment by direct
debit and must thereafter make payment by check.
Notwithstanding any Lockbox Agreement, or any of the provisions of
this Agreement relating to the Lockbox Agreement, the Servicer shall remain
obligated and liable to the Owner Trustee, Indenture Trustee,
Certificateholders and Noteholders for servicing and administering the
Receivables and the other Trust Property in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue
thereof.
In the event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be acting
as such, the successor Servicer shall thereupon assume all of the rights and
obligations of the outgoing Servicer under the Lockbox Agreement. In such
event, the successor Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed all of the
outgoing Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced the outgoing
Servicer as a party to each such Lockbox Agreement to the same extent as if
such Lockbox Agreement had been assigned to the successor Servicer, except
that the outgoing Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or
obligations on the part of the outgoing Servicer to the Lockbox Bank under
such Lockbox Agreement. The outgoing Servicer shall, upon request of the
Owner Trustee but at the expense of the outgoing Servicer, deliver to the
successor Servicer all documents and records relating to each such Agreement
and an accounting of amounts collected and held by the Lockbox Bank and
otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer
of any Lockbox Agreement to the successor Servicer. In the event that the
Security Insurer (so long as an Insurer Default shall not have occurred and
be continuing) or a Certificate Majority and Note Majority (if an Insurer
Default shall have occurred and be continuing) elects to change the identity
of the Lockbox Bank, the outgoing Servicer, at its expense, shall cause the
Lockbox Bank to deliver, at the direction of the Security Insurer (so long as
an Insurer Default shall not have occurred and be
-42-
continuing) or a Certificate Majority and Note Majority (if an Insurer
Default shall have occurred and be continuing) to the Owner Trustee or a
successor Lockbox Bank, all documents and records relating to the Receivables
and all amounts held (or thereafter received) by the Lockbox Bank (together
with an accounting of such amounts) and shall otherwise use its best efforts
to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the lockbox arrangements and
the Servicer shall notify the Obligors to make payments to the Lockbox
established by the successor.
(e) The Servicer shall remit all payments by or on behalf of the
Obligors received directly by the Servicer to the Subcollection Account or to
the Lockbox Bank for deposit into the Collection Account without deposit into
any intervening account as soon as practicable, but in no event later than
the Business Day after receipt thereof.
SECTION 3.3. REALIZATION UPON RECEIVABLES.
(a) Consistent with the standards, policies and procedures required
by this Agreement, the Servicer shall use its best efforts to repossess (or
otherwise comparably convert the ownership of) and liquidate any Financed
Vehicle securing a Receivable with respect to which the Servicer has
determined that payments thereunder are not likely to be resumed, as soon as
is practicable after default on such Receivable but in no event later than
the date on which all or any portion of a Scheduled Payment has become 91
days delinquent. The Servicer is authorized to follow such customary
practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable, consistent
with the standard of care required by Section 3.1, which practices and
procedures may include reasonable efforts to realize upon any recourse to
Dealers, the sale of the related Financed Vehicle at public or private sale,
the submission of claims under an Insurance Policy and other actions by the
Servicer in order to realize upon such a Receivable. The foregoing is subject
to the provision that, in any case in which the Financed Vehicle shall have
suffered damage, the Servicer shall not expend funds in connection with any
repair or towards the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless it shall
determine in its discretion that such repair and/or repossession shall
increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Receivable by an amount
greater than the amount of such expenses. All amounts received upon
liquidation of a Financed Vehicle shall be remitted directly by the Servicer
to the Subcollection Account without deposit into any intervening account as
soon as practicable, but in no event later than the Business Day after
receipt thereof. The Servicer shall be entitled to recover all reasonable
expenses incurred by it in the course of repossessing and liquidating a
Financed Vehicle into cash proceeds, but only out of the cash proceeds of
such Financed Vehicle, any deficiency obtained from the Obligor or any
amounts received from the related Dealer, which amount may be retained by the
Servicer (and shall not be required to be deposited as provided in Section
3.2(e)) to the extent of such expenses. The Servicer shall pay on behalf of
the Trust any personal property taxes assessed on repossessed Financed
Vehicles; the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of any such tax
from Liquidation Proceeds with respect to such Receivable.
-43-
(b) If the Servicer elects to commence a legal proceeding to
enforce a Dealer Agreement or Dealer Assignment, the act of commencement
shall be deemed to be an automatic assignment from the Trust to the Servicer
of the rights under such Dealer Agreement and Dealer Assignment for purposes
of collection only. If, however, in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding,
it is held that the Servicer may not enforce a Dealer Agreement or Dealer
Assignment on the grounds that it is not a real party in interest or a Person
entitled to enforce the Dealer Agreement or Dealer Assignment, the Owner
Trustee, at the Servicer's expense, or the Seller, at the Seller's expense,
shall take such steps as the Servicer deems necessary to enforce the Dealer
Agreement or Dealer Assignment, including bringing suit in its name or the
name of the Seller or of the Owner Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders and the Indenture Collateral Agent for the benefit of the
Issuer Secured Parties. All amounts recovered shall be remitted directly by
the Servicer as provided in Section 3.2(e).
SECTION 3.4. INSURANCE.
(a) The Servicer shall require that each Financed Vehicle be
insured by the Insurance Policies referred to in Paragraph 24 of the Schedule
of Representations and Warranties and shall monitor the status of such
physical loss and damage insurance coverage thereafter, in accordance with
its customary servicing procedures. Each Receivable requires the Obligor to
maintain such physical loss and damage insurance, naming OFL and its
successors and assigns as additional insureds, and permits the holder of such
Receivable to obtain physical loss and damage insurance at the expense of the
Obligor if the Obligor fails to maintain such insurance. If the Servicer
shall determine that an Obligor has failed to obtain or maintain a physical
loss and damage Insurance Policy covering the related Financed Vehicle which
satisfies the conditions set forth in clause (1)(A) of such Paragraph 24
(including, without limitation, during the repossession of such Financed
Vehicle) the Servicer shall enforce the rights of the holder of the
Receivable under the Receivable to require the Obligor to obtain such
physical loss and damage insurance.
(b) The Servicer may, if an Obligor fails to obtain or maintain a
physical loss and damage Insurance Policy, obtain insurance with respect to
the related Financed Vehicle and advance on behalf of such Obligor, as
required under the terms of the insurance policy, the premiums for such
insurance (such insurance being referred to herein as "Force-Placed
Insurance"). All policies of Force-Placed Insurance shall be endorsed with
clauses providing for loss payable to the Owner Trustee. Any cost incurred
by the Servicer in maintaining such Force-Placed Insurance shall only be
recoverable out of premiums paid by the Obligors or Liquidation Proceeds with
respect to the Receivable, as provided in Section 3.4(c).
(c) In connection with any Force-Placed Insurance obtained
hereunder, the Servicer may, in the manner and to the extent permitted by
applicable law, require the Obligors to repay the entire premium to the
Servicer. In
-44-
no event shall the Servicer include the amount of the premium in the Amount
Financed under the Receivable. For all purposes of this Agreement, the
Insurance Add-On Amount with respect to any Receivable having Force-Placed
Insurance will be treated as a separate obligation of the Obligor and will
not be added to the Principal Balance of such Receivable, and amounts
allocable thereto will not be available for distribution on the Notes or the
Certificates. The Servicer shall retain and separately administer the right
to receive payments from Obligors with respect to Insurance Add-On Amounts or
rebates of Force-Placed Insurance premiums. If an Obligor makes a payment
with respect to a Receivable having Force-Placed Insurance, but the Servicer
is unable to determine whether the payment is allocable to the Receivable or
to the Insurance Add-On Amount, the payment shall be applied first to any
unpaid Scheduled Payments and then to the Insurance Add-On Amount.
Liquidation Proceeds on any Receivable will be used first to pay the
Principal Balance and accrued interest on such Receivable and then to pay the
related Insurance Add-On Amount. If an Obligor under a Receivable with
respect to which the Servicer has placed Force-Placed Insurance fails to make
scheduled payments of such Insurance Add-On Amount as due, and the Servicer
has determined that eventual payment of the Insurance Add-On Amount is
unlikely, the Servicer may, but shall not be required to, purchase such
Receivable from the Trust for the Purchase Amount on any subsequent Deposit
Date. Any such Receivable, and any Receivable with respect to which the
Servicer has placed Force-Placed Insurance which has been paid in full
(excluding any Insurance Add-On Amounts) will be assigned to the Servicer.
(d) The Servicer may βββ� to enforce or collect upon the Insurance
Policies, in its own name, if possible, or as agent of the Trust. If the
Servicer elects to commence a legal proceeding to enforce an Insurance
Policy, the act of commencement shall be deemed to be an automatic assignment
of the rights of the Trust under such Insurance Policy to the Servicer for
purposes of collection only. If, however, in any enforcement suit or legal
proceeding it is held that the Servicer may not enforce an Insurance Policy
on the grounds that it is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled
to enforce the Insurance Policy, the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust,
at the Servicer's expense, or the Seller, at the Seller's expense, shall take
such steps as the Servicer deems necessary to enforce such Insurance Policy,
including bringing suit in its name or the name of the Owner Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders and the Indenture Collateral Agent for the
benefit of the Issuer Secured Parties.
(e) The Servicer shall maintain a vendor's single interest or other
collateral protection insurance policy with respect to all Financed Vehicles,
which policy shall by its terms insure against physical damage in the event
any Obligor fails to maintain physical loss and damage insurance with respect
to the related Financed Vehicle. Costs incurred by the Servicer in
maintaining such insurance shall be paid by the Servicer. The Servicer will
cause itself to be named as named insured and the Owner Trustee to be named a
loss payee under all such policies. The Servicer may, with the consent of
the Security Insurer, elect not to maintain such insurance policy
-45-
but in such event will be obligated to indemnify the Trust against any losses
arising from an Obligor's failure to maintain physical loss and damage
insurance with respect to the related Financed Vehicle.
SECTION 3.5. MAINTENANCE OF SECURITY INTERESTS IN VEHICLES.
(a) Consistent with the policies and procedures required by this
Agreement, the Servicer shall take such steps as are necessary to maintain
perfection of the security interest created by each Receivable in the related
Financed Vehicle on behalf of the Trust, including but not limited to
obtaining the execution by the Obligors and the recording, registering,
filing, re-recording, re-filing, and re-registering of all security
agreements, financing statements and continuation statements as are necessary
to maintain the security interest granted by the Obligors under the
respective Receivables. The Owner Trustee hereby authorizes the Servicer, and
the Servicer agrees, to take any and all steps necessary to re-perfect such
security interest on behalf of the Trust as necessary because of the
relocation of a Financed Vehicle or for any other reason. In the event that
the assignment of a Receivable to the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust is
insufficient, without a notation on the related Financed Vehicle's
certificate of title, or without fulfilling any additional administrative
requirements under the laws of the state in which the Financed Vehicle is
located, to perfect a security interest in the related Financed Vehicle in
favor of the Trust, the Servicer hereby agrees that the Servicer's
designation as the secured party on the certificate of title is in its
capacity as agent of the Trust.
(b) Upon the occurrence of an Insurance Agreement Event of Default,
the Security Insurer may (so long as an Insurer Default shall not have
occurred and be continuing) instruct the Owner Trustee and the Servicer to
take or cause to be taken, or, if an Insurer Default shall have occurred,
upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, the Owner Trustee and
the Servicer shall take or cause to be taken such action as may, in the
opinion of counsel to the Security Insurer (or, if an Insurer Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, counsel to the Owner Trustee), be necessary
to perfect or re-perfect the security interests in the Financed Vehicles
securing the Receivables in the name of the Trust by amending the title
documents of such Financed Vehicles or by such other reasonable means as may,
in the opinion of counsel to the Security Insurer or the Owner Trustee (as
applicable), be necessary or prudent. OFL hereby agrees to pay all expenses
related to such perfection or re-perfection and to take all action necessary
therefor. In addition, prior to the occurrence of an Insurance Agreement
Event of Default, the Security Insurer may (unless an Insurer Default shall
have occurred and be continuing) instruct the Owner Trustee and the Servicer
to take or cause to be taken such action as may, in the opinion of counsel to
the Security Insurer, be necessary to perfect or re-perfect the security
interest in the Financed Vehicles underlying the Receivables in the name of
the Trust, including by amending the title documents of such Financed
Vehicles or by such other reasonable means as may, in the opinion of counsel
to the Security Insurer, be necessary or prudent; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
-46-
(unless an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing) if the
Security Insurer requests that the title documents be amended prior to the
occurrence of an Insurance Agreement Event of Default, the out-of-pocket
expenses of the Servicer or the Owner Trustee in connection with such action
shall be reimbursed to the Servicer or the Owner Trustee, as applicable, by
the Security Insurer.
SECTION 3.6. COVENANTS, REPRESENTATIONS, AND WARRANTIES OF

the Indenture Trustee of a breach of any of the covenants set forth in
Sections 3.5(a) or 3.6(a), the party discovering such breach shall give
prompt written notice to the others; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the failure to
give any such anotice shall not affect any obligation of the Servicer. As of
the second Accounting Date following its discovery or receipt of notice of
any breach of any covenant set forth in Sections 3.5(a) or 3.6(a) which
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders, the
Noteholders, the Trust or the Security Insurer in any Receivable (including
any Liquidated Receivable) (or, at the Servicer's election, the first
Accounting Date so following), the Servicer shall, unless it shall have cured
such breach in all material respects, purchase from the Trust the Receivable
affected by such breach and, on the related Deposit Date, the Servicer shall
pay the related Purchase Amount. It is understood and agreed that the
obligation of the Servicer to purchase any Receivable (including any
Liquidated Receivable) with respect to which such a breach has occurred and
is continuing shall, if such obligation is fulfilled, constitute the sole
remedy against the Servicer for such breach available to the Security
Insurer, the Certificateholders, the Noteholders, the Owner Trustee on behalf
of Certificateholders or the Indenture Trustee on behalf of Noteholders;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Servicer shall indemnify the Owner Trustee, the

-52-
In each case, such access shall be afforded without charge but only upon

shall derogate from the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable
law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors, and the
failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section as a

Deficiency Claim Date, but in the absence of a reconciliation, the Servicer's
Certificate shall control for the purpose of calculations and distributions with
respect to the related Distribution Date. In the event that the Backup Servicer
and the Servicer are unable to reconcile discrepancies with respect to a

cause the Independent Accountants, at the Servicer's expense, to audit the
Servicer's Certificate and, prior to the third Business Day, but in no event
later than the fifth calendar day, of the following month, reconcile the
discrepancies. The effect, if any, of such reconciliation shall be reflected in
the Servicer's Certificate for such next succeeding Determination Date. In
addition, the Servicer shall, if so requested by the Security Insurer (unless an

provisions of this Agreement and no implied covenants or obligations shall be
read into this Agreement against the Backup Servicer.

payments by or on behalf of the Obligors on the Receivables and all Liquidation
Proceeds received by the Servicer, in each case, as soon as practicable, but in
no event later than the Business Day after receipt thereof. Within two days of
deposit of payments into the Subcollection Account, the Indenture Trustee shall
transfer all amounts credited to the Subcollection Account on account of such
payments to the Collection Account. Amounts in the Subcollection Account shall
not be invested. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer may utilize an
alternative remittance schedule acceptable to the Servicer if the Security
Insurer consents in writing (so long as an Insurer Default shall not have
occurred and be continuing) and the Servicer provides to the Indenture Trustee
written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such alternative remittance
schedule will not result in the downgrading or withdrawal by the Rating Agency
of the rating then assigned to the Certificates or the Notes.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) hereof, the
Servicer will be entitled to be reimbursed from amounts on deposit in the
Collection Account with respect to a Monthly Period for amounts previously
deposited in the Collection Account but later determined by the Servicer or the
Lockbox Bank to have resulted from mistaken deposits or postings or checks
returned for insufficient funds. The amount to be reimbursed hereunder shall be
paid to the Servicer on the related Distribution Date pursuant to Section
4.6(iii) upon certification by the Servicer of such amounts and the provision of
such information to the Indenture Trustee and the Security Insurer as may be
necessary in the opinion of the Indenture Trustee and the Security Insurer to
verify the accuracy of such certification. In the event that the Security
Insurer has not received
-59-
evidence satisfactory to it of the Servicer's entitlement to reimbursement
pursuant to this Section 4.2(b), the Security Insurer shall (unless an
Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing) give the Indenture
Trustee notice to such effect, following receipt of which the Indenture
Trustee shall not make a distribution to the Servicer in respect of such
amount pursuant to Section 4.6, or if the Servicer prior thereto has been
reimbursed pursuant to Section 4.6 or Section 4.8, the Indenture Trustee
shall withhold such amounts from amounts otherwise distributable to the
Servicer on the next succeeding Distribution Date.
SECTION 4.3. APPLICATION OF COLLECTIONS. For the purposes of this
Agreement, all collections for a Monthly Period shall be applied by the Servicer

interest and principal with respect to such Receivable in accordance
with the terms of such Receivable. With respect to each Liquidated
Receivable, Liquidation Proceeds shall be applied to interest and
principal with respect to such Receivable in accordance with the terms
of such Receivable, and then to any Insurance Add-On Amount due and
payable with respect to such Receivable. The Servicer shall not be
entitled to any Supplemental Servicing Fees with respect to a Liquidated
Receivable.
(b) With respect to each Receivable that has become a Purchased
Receivable on any Deposit Date, the Purchase Amount shall be applied,
for purposes of the Receivable as if the Purchase Amount had been paid by
the Obligor on the Accounting Date. The Servicer shall not be entitled to
any Supplemental Servicing Fees with respect to such a Receivable. Nothing
contained herein shall relieve any Obligor of any obligation relating to
any Receivable.
(c) All amounts collected that are payable to the Servicer as
Supplemental Servicing Fees hereunder shall be deposited in the
Collection Account and paid to the Servicer in accordance with Section
4.6(iii).
(d) All payments by or on behalf of an Obligor received with
respect to any Purchased Receivable after the Accounting Date
immediately preceding the Deposit Date on which the Purchase Amount was
paid by the Seller, OFL or the Servicer shall be paid to the Seller, OFL
or the Servicer, respectively, and shall not be included in the
Available Funds.

the number of calendar days in such Monthly Period) (calculated according to
the method specified in the related retail installment sale contract or
promissory note at the APR on the Principal Balance of such Receivable as of
the Accounting Date preceding such Distribution Date), the Servicer shall
make a Monthly Advance equal to the amount of such shortfall; PROVIDED,

with respect to a Receivable extended pursuant to Section 3.2(b) for any
Monthly Period during which no Scheduled Payment is due according to the
terms of such extension; and PROVIDED FURTHER, that the Servicer shall not be
required to make a Monthly Advance with respect to a Receivable that is less
than 31 days delinquent.
(b) On or before each Determination Date and prior to the delivery
of the Servicer's Certificate for such Determination Date pursuant to Section
3.9, the Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account the aggregate
amount of Monthly Advances required for the related Monthly Period in
immediately available funds (subject to Section 4.8).

such Monthly Advance was made: (i) subsequent payments by or on behalf of the
Obligor with respect to such Receivable, (ii) collections of Liquidation
Proceeds with respect to such Receivable if such Receivable becomes a
Liquidated Receivable and (iii) payment of any Purchase Amount with respect to
such Receivable if such Receivable becomes a Purchased Receivable. If any
Receivable shall become a Liquidated Receivable and the Servicer shall not
have been fully reimbursed for Outstanding Monthly Advances with respect to
such Receivable from the sources of funds previously described in this
paragraph, the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement from collections
on Receivables other than the Receivable in respect of which such Outstanding
Monthly Advance shall have been made.

shall be deposited by the Owner Trustee into the Certificate Distribution
Account for payment to Certificateholders on the related Distribution Date.
The "Certificate Policy Claim Amount" for any Distribution Date shall equal
the lesser of (i) the sum of the Certificateholders' Interest Distributable
Amount (excluding that portion of the Certificateholders' Interest
Distributable Amount payable with respect to the Class GP Certificates) and
the Certificateholders' Principal Distributable Amount (excluding that
portion of the Certificateholders' Principal Distributable Amount payable
with respect to the Class GP Certificates) for such Distribution Date, and
(ii) the excess, if any, of the amount required to be distributed from the
Distribution Amount pursuant to clauses (i) - (vii) of Section 4.6 (without
-69-
giving effect to the limitation of the Distribution Amount specified in each
such clause) over the Distribution Amount with respect to such Payment Date.
(b) Any notice delivered by the Owner Trustee to the Security
Insurer pursuant to subsection 5.3(a) shall specify the Policy Claim Amount
claimed under the Certificate Policy and shall constitute a "Notice of Claim"
under the Certificate Policy. In accordance with the provisions of the
Certificate Policy, the Security Insurer is required to pay to the Owner
Trustee the Policy Claim Amount properly claimed thereunder by 12:00 noon,
New York City time, on the later of (i) the third Business Day following
receipt on a Business Day of the Notice of Claim, and (ii) the applicable
Distribution Date. Any payment made by the Security Insurer under the
Certificate Policy shall be applied solely to the payment of the
Certificates, and for no other purpose.
(c) The Owner Trustee shall (i) receive as attorney-in-fact of each
Certificateholder any Policy Claim Amount from the Security Insurer and (ii)
deposit the same in the Certificate Distribution Account for disbursement to
the Certificateholders as provided in Section 5.2(a) of the Trust Agreement.
Any and all Policy Claim Amounts disbursed by the Owner Trustee from claims
made under the Certificate Policy shall not be considered payment by the
Trust or from the Spread Account with respect to such Certificates, and shall
not discharge the obligations of the Trust with respect thereto. The
Security Insurer shall, to the extent it makes any payment with respect to
the Certificates, become subrogated to the rights of the recipients of such
payments to the extent of such payments. Subject to and conditioned upon any
payment with respect to the Certificates by or on behalf of the Security
Insurer, the Owner Trustee shall assign to the Security Insurer all rights to
the payment of interest or principal with respect to the Certificates which
are then due for payment to the extent of all payments made by the Security
Insurer, and the Security Insurer may exercise any option, vote, right, power
or the like with respect to the Certificates to the extent that it has made
payment pursuant to the Certificate Policy. To evidence such subrogation,
the Certificate Registrar shall note the Security Insurer's rights as
subrogee upon the register of Certificateholders upon receipt from the
Security Insurer of proof of payment by the Security Insurer of any
Certificateholders' Interest Distributable Amount or Certificateholders'
Principal Distributable Amount.
(d) The Owner Trustee shall keep a complete and accurate record of
all funds delivered by the Security Insurer to the Owner Trustee and the
allocation of such funds to the payment of interest on and principal paid with
respect to any Certificate. The Security Insurer shall have the right to
inspect such records at reasonable times upon one Business Day's prior notice to
the Owner Trustee.
(e) The Owner Trustee shall be entitled to enforce on behalf of the
Certificateholders the obligations of the Security Insurer under the Certificate
Policy. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Certificateholders are not entitled to institute proceedings directly against
the Security Insurer.
-70-
SECTION 5.4. PREFERENCE CLAIMS.
(a) In the event that the Owner Trustee has received a certified copy
of an order of the appropriate court that any Certificateholders' Distributable
Amount paid on a Certificate has been avoided in whole or in part as a
preference payment under applicable bankruptcy law, the Owner Trustee shall so
notify the Security Insurer, shall comply with the provisions of the Certificate
Policy to obtain payment by the Security Insurer of such avoided payment, and
shall, at the time it provides notice to the Security Insurer, notify Holders of
the Certificates by mail that, in the event that any Certificateholder's payment
is so recoverable, such Certificateholder will be entitled to payment pursuant
to the terms of the Certificate Policy. Pursuant to the terms of the
Certificate Policy, the Security Insurer will make such payment on behalf of the
Certificateholder to the receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession or trustee
in bankruptcy named in the Order (as defined in the Certificate Policy) and not
to the Owner Trustee or any Certificateholder directly (unless a
Certificateholder has previously paid such payment to the receiver, conservator,
debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy, in which case the Security
Insurer will make such payment to the Owner Trustee for distribution to such
Certificateholder upon proof of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the
Security Insurer).
(b) The Owner Trustee shall promptly notify the Security Insurer of
any proceeding or the institution of any action (of which the Owner Trustee
has actual knowledge) seeking the avoidance as a preferential transfer under
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, rehabilitation or similar
law (a "Preference Claim") of any distribution made with respect to the
Certificates. Each Holder, by its purchase of Certificates, and the Owner
Trustee hereby agree that so long as an Insurer Default shall not have
occurred and be continuing, the Security Insurer may at any time during the
continuation of any proceeding relating to a Preference Claim direct all
matters relating to such Preference Claim including, without limitation, (i)
the direction of any appeal of any order relating to any Preference Claim and
(ii) the posting of any surety, supersedeas or performance bond pending any
such appeal at the expense of the Security Insurer, but subject to
reimbursement as provided in the Insurance Agreement. In addition, and
without limitation of the foregoing, as set forth in Section 5.3(c), the
Security Insurer shall be subrogated to, and each Certificateholder and the
Owner Trustee hereby delegate and assign, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, the rights of the Owner Trustee and each Certificateholder in the
conduct of any proceeding with respect to a Preference Claim, including,
without limitation, all rights of any party to an adversary proceeding action
with respect to any court order issued in connection with any such Preference
Claim.

an agreement of assumption of every obligation of the Seller under this
Agreement and each Related Document and, whether or not such assumption
agreement is executed, shall be the successor to the Seller under this
Agreement without the execution or filing of any document or any further act
on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement. The Seller shall
provide prompt notice of any merger, consolidation or succession pursuant to
this Section 6.2 to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Security
Insurer and the Rating Agencies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller
shall not merge or consolidate with any other Person or permit any other
Person to become a successor to the Seller's business, unless (x) immediately
after giving effect to such transaction, no representation or warranty made
pursuant to Section 2.5 shall have been breached (for purposes hereof, such
representations and warranties shall speak as of the date of the consummation
of such transaction) and no event that, after notice or lapse of time, or
both, would become a Servicer Termination Event shall have occurred and be
continuing, (y) the Seller shall have delivered to the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee and the Security Insurer an officer's certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel each stating that such consolidation, merger or succession
and such agreement of assumption comply with this Section 6.2 and that all

Opinion of Counsel, stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, either (A)
all financing statements and continuation statements and amendments thereto
have been executed and filed that are necessary to preserve and protect the
interest of the Trust in the Trust Property and reciting
-72-
the details of the filings or (B) no such action shall be necessary to
preserve and protect such interest.
(b) The Seller hereby agrees that it shall not (i) take any action
prohibited by Article XVI of its certificate of incorporation or (ii) without
the prior written consent of the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee and
(so long as an Insurer Default shall not have occurred and be continuing) the
Security Insurer and without giving prior written notice to the Rating
Agencies, amend Article III, Article IX, Article XIV or Article XVI of its
certificate of incorporation.
SECTION 6.3. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF SELLER AND OTHERS. The
Seller and any director or officer or employee or agent of the Seller may rely
in good faith on the advice of counsel or on any document of any kind prima
facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters
arising under this Agreement. The Seller shall not be under any obligation to
appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its
obligations as Seller of the Receivables under this Agreement and that in its
opinion may involve it in any expense or liability.
SECTION 6.4. SELLER MAY OWN CERTIFICATES OR NOTES. Each of the
Seller and any Affiliate of the Seller may in its individual or any other
capacity become the owner or pledgee of Certificates or Notes with the same
rights as it would have if it were not the Seller or an Affiliate thereof except
as otherwise specifically provided herein or in the Related Documents.
Certificates or Notes so owned by or pledged to the Seller or such Affiliate
shall have an equal and proportionate benefit under the provisions of this
Agreement or any Related Document, without preference, priority, or distinction
as among all of the Certificates or Notes, provided that any Certificates or
Notes owned by the Seller or any Affiliate thereof, during the time such
Certificates or Notes are owned by them, shall be without voting rights for any
purpose set forth in this Agreement or any Related Document. The Seller shall
notify the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Security Insurer
promptly after it or any of its Affiliates become the owner or pledgee of a
Certificate or Note.
ARTICLE VII
THE SERVICER
SECTION 7.1. LIABILITY OF SERVICER; INDEMNITIES.
(a) The Servicer (in its capacity as such and, in the case of OFL,

specifically undertaken by the Servicer and the representations made by the
Servicer.
-73-
(b) The Servicer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Trust,
the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Security

any time be asserted against the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Security Insurer, the Certificateholders or
the Noteholders with respect to the transactions contemplated in this Agreement,
including, without limitation, any sales, gross receipts, general corporation,
tangible personal property, privilege or license taxes (but not including any
taxes asserted with respect to, and as of the date of, the sale of the
Receivables and the other Trust Property to the Trust or the issuance and
original sale of the Certificates and the Notes, or federal or other income
taxes arising out of distributions on the Certificates) and costs and expenses
in defending against the same;
(d) The Servicer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Trust,
the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Security
Insurer, their respective officers, directors, agents and employees, the
Certificateholders and the Noteholders from and against any and all 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 the
Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the
Security Insurer, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders through the breach
of this Agreement, the negligence, willful misfeasance, or bad faith of the
Servicer in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or by reason of
reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement; and
(e) The Servicer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the
Owner Trustee, in its individual capacity, its officers, directors, agents
and employees, from and against all costs, taxes (other than income taxes on
fees and expenses payable to the Owner Trustee), expenses, losses, claims,
damages and liabilities arising out of or incurred in connection with the
acceptance or performance of the trusts and duties contained in the Trust
Agreement and the Related Documents, except to the extent that such cost,
taxes (other than income taxes), expense, loss, claim, damage or liability
(A) is due to the willful misfeasance or gross negligence of the Owner
Trustee, or (B) arises from the Owner Trustee's breach of any of its
representations or warranties set forth in Section 7.3 of the Trust
Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that amounts payable under this paragraph shall
be
-74-
increased by the amount of income taxes actually paid by the Owner Trustee in
respect of any indemnity payment unless the Owner Trustee received or can
reasonably be expected to receive a tax deduction for the related loss or
cost.
(f) Indemnification under this Article shall include, without
limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation.
If the Servicer has made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Article and the
recipient thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, the recipient
shall promptly repay such amounts collected to the Servicer, without interest.
(g) OFL, in its individual capacity, hereby acknowledges that the
indemnification provisions in the Purchase Agreement benefiting the Trust, the
Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Backup Servicer and the Security
Insurer are enforceable by each hereunder.
SECTION 7.2. MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF, OR ASSUMPTION OF THE
OBLIGATIONS OF, THE SERVICER OR BACKUP SERVICER.
(a) The Servicer shall not merge or consolidate with any other
person, convey, transfer or lease substantially all its assets as an entirety
to another Person, or permit any other Person to become the successor to the
Servicer's business unless, after the merger, consolidation, conveyance,
transfer, lease or succession, the successor or surviving entity shall be an
Eligible Servicer and shall be capable of fulfilling the duties of the
Servicer contained in this Agreement. Any corporation (i) into which the
Servicer may be merged or consolidated, (ii) resulting from any merger or
consolidation to which the Servicer shall be a party, (iii) which acquires by
conveyance, transfer, or lease substantially all of the assets of the
Servicer, or (iv) succeeding to the business of the Servicer, in any of the
foregoing cases shall execute an agreement of assumption to perform every
obligation of the Servicer under this Agreement and, whether or not such
assumption agreement is executed, shall be the successor to the Servicer
under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement, anything in
this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
nothing contained herein shall be deemed to release the Servicer from any
obligation. The Servicer shall provide notice of any merger, consolidation
or succession pursuant to this Section 7.2(a) to the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee, the Security Insurer and each Rating Agency.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not merge or consolidate
with any other Person or permit any other Person to become a successor to the
Servicer's business, unless (x) immediately after giving effect to such
transaction, no representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 3.6 shall
have been breached (for purposes hereof, such representations and warranties
shall speak as of the date of the consummation of such transaction) and no
event that, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an Insurance
Agreement Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (y) the
Servicer shall have delivered to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and
the Security Insurer an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of
-75-
Counsel each stating that such consolidation, merger or succession and such
agreement of assumption comply with this Section 7.2(a) and that all
conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement relating to such
transaction have been complied with, and (z) the Servicer shall have
delivered to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Security
Insurer an Opinion of Counsel, stating that, in the opinion of such counsel,
either (A) all financing statements and continuation statements and
amendments thereto have been executed and filed that are necessary to
preserve and protect the interest of the Owner Trustee in the Trust Property
and reciting the details of the filings or (B) no such action shall be
necessary to preserve and protect such interest.
(b) Any corporation (i) into which the Backup Servicer may be
merged or consolidated, (ii) resulting from any merger or consolidation to
which the Backup Servicer shall be a party, (iii) which acquires by
conveyance, transfer or lease substantially all of the assets of the Backup
Servicer, or (iv) succeeding to the business of the Backup Servicer, in any
of the foregoing cases shall execute an agreement of assumption to perform
every obligation of the Backup Servicer under this Agreement and, whether or
not such assumption agreement is executed, shall be the successor to the
Backup Servicer under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any
paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement,
anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to release the Backup
Servicer from any obligation.
SECTION 7.3. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF SERVICER, BACKUP SERVICER AND
OTHERS.
(a) Neither the Servicer, the Backup Servicer nor any of the
directors or officers or employees or agents of the Servicer or Backup Servicer
shall be under any liability to the Trust, the Certificateholders or the
Noteholders, except as provided in this Agreement, for any action taken or for
refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer, the Backup Servicer
or any such person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by
reason of a breach of this Agreement or willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence (excluding errors in judgment) in the performance of duties, by
reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement or
any violation of law by the Servicer, Backup Servicer or such person, as the
case may be; PROVIDED FURTHER, that this provision shall not affect any
liability to indemnify the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee for costs,
taxes, expenses, claims, liabilities, losses or damages paid by the Owner
Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, each in its individual capacity. The
Servicer, the Backup Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of
the Servicer or Backup Servicer may rely in good faith on the advice of counsel
or on any document of any kind PRIMA FACIE properly executed and submitted by
any Person respecting any matters arising under this Agreement.
-76-
(b) The Backup Servicer shall not be liable for any obligation of the
Servicer contained in this Agreement, and the Owner Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee, the Seller, the Security Insurer, the Noteholders and the
Certificateholders shall look only to the Servicer to perform such obligations.
SECTION 7.4. DELEGATION OF DUTIES. The Servicer may delegate duties
under this Agreement to an Affiliate of OFL with the prior written consent of
the Security Insurer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Backup
Servicer. The Servicer also may at any time perform the specific duty of
repossession of Financed Vehicles through sub-contractors who are in the
business of servicing automotive receivables and may perform other specific
duties through such sub-contractors with the prior written consent of the
Security Insurer (unless an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be
continuing), PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such delegation or sub-contracting
duties by the Servicer shall relieve the Servicer of its responsibility with
respect to such duties. So long as no Insurer Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, neither OFL or any party acting as Servicer hereunder shall
appoint any subservicer hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Security Insurer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Backup
Servicer.
SECTION 7.5. SERVICER AND BACKUP SERVICER NOT TO RESIGN. Subject to
the provisions of Section 7.2, neither the Servicer nor the Backup Servicer
shall resign from the obligations and duties imposed on it by this Agreement as
Servicer or Backup Servicer except upon a determination that by reason of a
change in legal requirements the performance of its duties under this Agreement
would cause it to be in violation of such legal requirements in a manner which
would have a material adverse effect on the Servicer or the Backup Servicer, as
the case may be, and the Security Insurer (so long as an Insurer Default shall
not have occurred and be continuing) or a Certificate Majority and Note Majority
(if an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing) does not elect to
waive the obligations of the Servicer or the Backup Servicer, as the case may
be, to perform the duties which render it legally unable to act or to delegate
those duties to another Person. Any such determination permitting the
resignation of the Servicer or Backup Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion
of Counsel to such effect delivered and acceptable to the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee and the Security Insurer (unless an Insurer Default shall have
occurred and be continuing). No resignation of the Servicer shall become
effective until, so long as no Insurer Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Backup Servicer or an entity acceptable to the Security Insurer
shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer or, if
an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Backup Servicer or
a successor Servicer that is an Eligible Servicer shall have assumed the
responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer. No resignation of the Backup
Servicer shall become effective until, so long as no Insurer Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, an entity acceptable to the Security Insurer shall
have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Backup Servicer or, if
an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing, a Person that is
anEligible Servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of
the Backup Servicer;
-77-
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event a successor Backup Servicer is not
appointed within 60 days after the Backup Servicer has given notice of its
resignation and has provided the Opinion of Counsel required by this Section
7.5, the Backup Servicer may petition a court for its removal.
ARTICLE VIII

Agreement, each of the following shall constitute a "Servicer Termination

rights of Certificateholders (determined without regard to the availability
of funds under the Certificate Policy), Noteholders (determined without
regard to the availability of funds under the Note Policy), or of the
Security Insurer (unless an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be
continuing), and (ii) continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the
date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be

custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Servicer or the
Seller or of any substantial part of its property or the making by the
Servicer or the Seller of an assignment for the benefit of creditors or the
failure by the Servicer or the Seller generally to pay its debts as such
debts become due or the taking of corporate action by the Servicer or the
Seller in furtherance of any of the foregoing; or
(f) Any representation, warranty or statement of the Servicer or
the Seller made in this Agreement or any certificate, report or other
writing delivered pursuant hereto shall prove to be incorrect in any
material respect as of the time when the same shall have been made
(excluding, however, any representation or warranty set forth in Section
2.5(a)), and the incorrectness of such representation, warranty or statement
has a material adverse effect on the Trust and, within 30 days after written
notice thereof shall have been given to the Servicer or the Seller by the
Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Security Insurer (or, if an
Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing, a Certificateholder
or Noteholder), the circumstances or condition in respect of which such
representation, warranty or statement was incorrect shall not have been
eliminated or otherwise cured; or
(g) So long as an Insurer Default shall not have occurred and be

term of the most recent Servicer Extension Notice received); or
(h) So long as an Insurer Default shall not have occurred and be
continuing, an Insurance Agreement Event of Default shall have occurred; or
-79-
(i) A claim is made under the Certificate Policy or the Note

SECTION 8.2. CONSEQUENCES OF A SERVICER TERMINATION EVENT. If a
Servicer Termination Event shall occur and be continuing, the Security Insurer
(or, if an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing, either the
Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, a Certificate Majority or a Note
Majority), by notice given in writing to the Servicer (and to the Indenture
Trustee and the Owner Trustee if given by the Security Insurer, the Noteholders
or the Certificateholders) may terminate all of the rights and obligations of
the Servicer under this Agreement. On or after (i) the receipt by the Servicer
of such written notice, or (ii) the receipt by the Backup Servicer (or any
alternate successor servicer appointed by the Security Insurer pursuant to
Section 8.3(b)) of written notice from the Security Insurer that the Security
Insurer is not extending the Servicer's term pursuant to Section 3.14, all
authority, power, obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer under this
Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates, the Notes or the Trust
Property or otherwise, shall be terminated and automatically shall pass to, be
vested in and become obligations and responsibilities of the Backup Servicer (or
such other successor Servicer appointed by the Security Insurer); PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the successor Servicer shall have no liability with respect to any
obligation which was required to be performed by the terminated Servicer prior
to the date that the successor Servicer becomes the Servicer or any claim of a
third party based on any alleged action or inaction of the terminated Servicer.
The successor Servicer is authorized and empowered by this Agreement to execute
and deliver, on behalf of the terminated Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or
otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments and to do or accomplish
all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such
notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the
Receivables and the other Trust Property and related documents to show the Owner
Trustee as lienholder or secured party on the related Lien Certificates, or
otherwise. The terminated Servicer agrees to cooperate with the successor
Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the
terminated Servicer under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the
transfer to the successor Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts
that shall at the time be held by the terminated Servicer for deposit, or have
been deposited by the terminated Servicer, in the Collection Account or
thereafter received with respect to the Receivables and the delivery to the
successor Servicer of all Receivable Files, Monthly Records and Collection
Records and a computer tape in readable form as of the most recent Business Day
containing all information necessary to enable the successor Servicer or a
successor Servicer to service the Receivables and the other Trust Property. If
requested by the Security Insurer (unless an Insurer Default
-80-
shall have occurred and be continuing), the successor Servicer shall
terminate the Lockbox Agreement and direct the Obligors to make all payments
under the Receivables directly to the successor Servicer (in which event the
successor Servicer shall process such payments in accordance with Section
3.2(e)), or to a lockbox established by the successor Servicer at the
direction of the Security Insurer (unless an Insurer Default shall have
occurred and be continuing), at the successor Servicer's expense. In
addition to any other amounts that are then payable to the terminated
Servicer under this Agreement, the terminated Servicer shall then be entitled
to receive out of Available Funds reimbursements for any Outstanding Monthly
Advances (in accordance with Section 4.4(c)) made during the period prior to
the notice pursuant to this Section 8.2 which terminates the obligation and
rights of the terminated Servicer under this Agreement. The Owner Trustee,
the Indenture Trustee and the successor Servicer may set off and deduct any
amounts owed by the terminated Servicer from any amounts payable to the
terminated Servicer pursuant to the preceding sentence. The terminated
Servicer shall grant the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the successor
Servicer and the Security Insurer reasonable access to the terminated
Servicer's premises at the terminated Servicer's expense.
SECTION 8.3. APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR.
(a) On and after (i) the time the Servicer receives a notice of
termination pursuant to Section 8.2, or (ii) the resignation of the Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.5, or (iii) the receipt by the Backup Servicer (or any
alternate successor servicer appointed by the Security Insurer pursuant to
Section 8.3(b)) of written notice from the Security Insurer that the Security
Insurer is not extending the Servicer's term pursuant to Section 3.14, the
Backup Servicer (unless the Security Insurer shall have exercised its option
pursuant to Section 8.3(b) to appoint an alternate successor Servicer) shall
be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer
under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for in this
Agreement, and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, restrictions,
duties, liabilities and termination provisions relating thereto placed on the
Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The Owner Trustee
and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as
shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. If a successor
Servicer is acting as Servicer hereunder, it shall be subject to termination
under Section 8.2 upon the occurrence of any Servicer Termination Event
applicable to it as Servicer and shall serve from term to term as provided in
Section 3.14.
(b) The Security Insurer may (so long as an Insurer Default shall not
have occurred and be continuing) exercise at any time its right to appoint as
Backup Servicer or as successor to the Servicer a Person other than the Person
serving as Backup Servicer at the time, and (without limiting its obligations
under the Policies) shall have no liability to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee, OFL, the Seller, the Person then serving as Backup Servicer, any
Certificateholder, any Certificate Owner, any Noteholders, any Note Owner or any
other Person if it does so. Notwithstanding the above, if the Backup Servicer
shall be legally unable or unwilling to act as Servicer and an Insurer Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Backup Servicer, the Indenture
Trustee, a Note Majority, the Owner Trustee or a Certificate Majority may
petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any Eligible Servicer as
the successor to the Servicer. Pending appointment pursuant to the preceding
sentence, the Backup Servicer shall act as successor
-81-
Servicer unless it is legally unable to do so, in which event the outgoing
Servicer shall continue to act as Servicer until a successor has been
appointed and accepted such appointment. Subject to Section 7.5, no
provision of this Agreement shall be construed as relieving the Backup
Servicer of its obligation to succeed as successor Servicer upon the
termination of the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.2 or the resignation of the
Servicer pursuant to Section 7.5. If upon the termination of the Servicer
pursuant to Section 8.2 or the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to
Section 7.5, the Security Insurer appoints a successor Servicer other than
the Backup Servicer, the Backup Servicer shall not be relieved of its duties
as Backup Servicer hereunder.
(c) Any successor Servicer shall be entitled to such compensation
(whether payable out of the Collection Account or otherwise) as the Servicer
would have been entitled to under the Agreement if the Servicer had not resigned
or been terminated hereunder. If any successor Servicer is appointed as a
result of the Backup Servicer's refusal (in contravention of the terms of this
Agreement) to act as Servicer although it is legally able to do so, the Security
Insurer and such successor Servicer may agree on reasonable additional
compensation to be paid to such successor Servicer by the Backup Servicer, which
additional compensation shall be paid by the Backup Servicer in its individual
capacity and solely out of its own funds. If any successor Servicer is
appointed for any reason other than the Backup Servicer's refusal to act as
Servicer although legally able to do so, the Security Insurer and such successor
Servicer may agree on additional compensation to be paid to such successor
Servicer, which additional compensation shall be payable as provided in the
Spread Account Agreement. If the Backup Servicer is the successor Servicer, the
Backup Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement, pursuant to Section 4.6(ii),
of reasonable transition expenses, not in excess of $50,000, incurred in acting
as successor Servicer. In addition, any successor Servicer shall be entitled to
reimbursement, as provided in the Spread Account Agreement, of reasonable
transition expenses incurred in acting as successor Servicer.
SECTION 8.4. NOTIFICATION TO CERTIFICATEHOLDERS AND NOTEHOLDERS.
Upon any termination of, or appointment of a successor to, the Servicer pursuant
to this Article VIII, the Owner Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof
to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate
Register and to each Rating Agency, and the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt
written notice thereof to Noteholders at their respective addresses appearing in
the Note Register.
SECTION 8.5. WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS. The Security Insurer (or, if
an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing, a Note Majority or
Certificate Majority) may, on behalf of all Holders of Notes and Certificates,
waive any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations
hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such
default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Termination Event arising
therefrom shall be deemed to
-82-
have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement.
No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any
right consequent thereon.
ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION
SECTION 9.1. OPTIONAL PURCHASE OF ALL RECEIVABLES; LIQUIDATION OF
TRUST ESTATE.
(a) On each Determination Date as of which the Aggregate Principal
Balance is less than 10% of the Original Pool Balance, the Servicer and the
Seller each shall have the option to purchase the corpus of the Trust (with
the consent of the Security Insurer, if a claim has previously been made
under the Certificate Policy or the Note Policy or if such purchase would
result in a claim on the Certificate Policy or the Note Policy or if such
purchase would result in any amount owing to the Security Insurer remaining
unpaid); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the amount to be paid for such purchase (as
set forth in the following sentence) shall be sufficient to pay the full
amount of principal, premium, if any, and interest then due and payable on
the Notes. To exercise such option, the Servicer or the Seller, as the case
may be, shall pay the aggregate Purchase Amounts for the Receivables, plus
the appraised value of any other property (including the right to receive any
future recoveries) held as part of the Trust, such appraisal to be conducted
by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Servicer or the Seller, as the
case may be, and the Security Insurer (or the Indenture Trustee, if an
Insurer Default shall have accrued and be continuing), and shall succeed to
all interests in and to the Trust Property. The fees and expenses related to
such appraisal shall be paid by the party exercising the option to purchase.
The party exercising such option to repurchase shall deposit the aggregate
Purchase Amounts for the Receivables and the amount of the appraised value of
any other property held as part of the Trust into the Collection Account, and
the Indenture Trustee shall distribute the amounts so deposited in accordance
with Section 4.6.
(b) Upon any sale of the assets of the Trust pursuant to Section 9.2
of the Trust Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall instruct the Indenture Trustee
to deposit the proceeds from such sale after all payments and reserves therefrom
have been made (the "Insolvency Proceeds") in the Collection Account. On the
Distribution Date on which the Insolvency Proceeds are deposited in the
Collection Account (or, if such proceeds are not so deposited on a Distribution
Date, on the Distribution Date immediately following such deposit), the Owner
Trustee shall instruct the Indenture Trustee to make the following deposits
(after the application on such Distribution Date of the Available Funds) from
the Insolvency Proceeds:
-83-
(i) to the Note Distribution Account, any portion of the
Noteholders' Interest Distributable Amount not otherwise deposited into the
Note Distribution Account on such Distribution Date;
(ii) to the Note Distribution Account, the Class A-1 Prepayment
Premium, Class A-2 Prepayment Premium, Class A-3 Prepayment Premium, Class
A-4 Prepayment Premium and Class A-5 Prepayment Premium (only to the extent
of the amount of Liquidated Damages (as defined in the Purchase Agreement)
received by the Trust from the Seller)
(iii) to the Note Distribution Account, the outstanding
principal balance of the Notes (after giving effect to the reduction in the
outstanding principal balance of the Notes to result from the deposits
otherwise made in the Note Distribution Account on such Distribution Date);
(iv) to the Certificate Distribution Account, any portion of the
Certificateholders' Interest Distributable Amount not otherwise deposited
into the Certificate Distribution Account on such Distribution Date;
(v) to the Certificate Distribution Account, the Certificate
Prepayment Premium (only to the extent of the amount of Liquidated Damages
(as defined in the Purchase Agreement) received by the Trust from the
Seller; and
(vi) to the Certificate Distribution Account, the Certificate
Balance (after giving effect to the reduction in the Certificate Balance to
result from the deposits otherwise made in the Certificate Distribution
Account on such Distribution Date).
Any Insolvency Proceeds remaining after the deposits described above shall be
paid, first, to the Security Insurer, to the extent of any amounts owing to the
Security Insurer under the Insurance Agreement and not paid, whether or not OFL
is obligated to pay such amounts, and second to the Collateral Agent for deposit
in the Spread Account.
(c) Notice of any termination of the Trust shall be given by the
Servicer to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee as soon as practicable
after the Servicer has received notice thereof.

Certificateholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity, (ii) to correct or supplement any
provisions in this Agreement or (iii) for the purpose of adding any provision to

Holders of such Certificate or Note and of any Certificate or Note issued upon
the transfer thereof or in exchange thereof or in lieu thereof whether or not

Holders of Certificates or Notes; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, subject to the
express rights of the Security Insurer under the Related Documents, including
its rights to agree to certain modifications of the Receivables pursuant to
Section 3.2 and its rights to cause the Indenture Collateral Agent to liquidate
the Collateral under the circumstances and subject to the provisions of Section

amendment or consent to each Certificateholder and the Indenture Trustee.
(e) It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders
or Noteholders pursuant to Section 10.1(b) to approve the particular form of any
proposed amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall
approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents (and any
other consents of Certificateholders and Noteholders provided for in this
Agreement) and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by
Certificateholders or Noteholders shall be subject to such reasonable
requirements as the Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee, as applicable, may
prescribe, including the establishment of record dates.
(f) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the
Owner Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of
Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or
permitted by this Agreement, in addition to the Opinion of Counsel referred
to in Section 10.2(i). The Owner Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to,
enter into any such amendment which affects the Owner Trustee's own rights,
duties or immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.
SECTION 10.2. PROTECTION OF TITLE TO TRUST PROPERTY.
(a) The Servicer shall execute and file such financing statements and
cause to be executed and filed such continuation and other statements, all in

Indenture Collateral Agent and the Security Insurer file-stamped copies of, or
filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon as available

name, identity or corporate structure in any manner that would, could or might
make any financing statement or continuation statement filed by the Seller in
accordance with paragraph (a) above seriously misleading within the meaning of
Section 9-402(7) of the UCC, unless it shall have given the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee and the Security Insurer (so long as an Insurer Default shall
not have occurred and be continuing) at least 60 days' prior written notice
thereof, and
-86-
shall promptly file appropriate amendments to all previously filed financing
statements and continuation statements.
(c) Each of the Seller, the Servicer and the Trust shall give the
Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Security Insurer at least 60 days'
prior written notice of any relocation of its principal executive office if, as
a result of such relocation, the applicable provisions of the UCC would require

repurchased by the Seller or Servicer.

a security interest in, or otherwise transfer any interest in automotive
receivables to any prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee, the
Servicer shall give to such prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee
computer tapes, records or print-outs (including any restored from backup
archives) that, if they refer in any manner whatsoever to any Receivable,
indicate clearly that such Receivable has been sold and is owned by the Trust
unless such Receivable has been paid in full or repurchased by the Seller or
Servicer.
(g) The Servicer shall permit the Owner Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Security Insurer and their respective agents,
at any time to inspect, audit and make copies of and abstracts from the
Servicer's records regarding any Receivables or any other portion of the Trust
Property.
(h) The Servicer shall furnish to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee, the Backup Servicer and the Security Insurer at any time upon request a

opinion of such Counsel, all financing statements and continuation statements

the interest of the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Collateral Agent in the
Receivables and the other Trust Property, and reciting the details of such
filings or referring to prior Opinions of Counsel in which such details are
given, or (b) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action is
necessary to preserve and protect such interest.
(j) The Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee and the Security Insurer, within 90 days after the beginning of each
calendar year beginning with the first calendar year beginning more than three

opinion of such counsel, no action shall be necessary to preserve and protect
such interest.
SECTION 10.3. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to
the principles of conflicts of laws thereof and the obligations, rights and
remedies of the parties under this Agreement shall be determined in accordance
with such laws.
SECTION 10.4. SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. If any one or more of the
covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any
reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or
terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements,
provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or
enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement or of the Certificates
or the Notes or the respective rights of the Holders thereof.

contained in this Agreement, except as provided in Section 7.2 or Section 8.2
(and as provided in the provisions of the Agreement concerning the resignation
of the Servicer and the Backup Servicer), this Agreement may not be assigned by
the
-88-
Seller or the Servicer without the prior written consent of the Owner
Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Security Insurer (or, if an Insurer
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee, a Note Majority and a Certificate Majority).
SECTION 10.6. THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES. This Agreement shall inure
to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective
successors and permitted assigns. The Security Insurer and its successors and
assigns shall be a third-party beneficiary to the provisions of this Agreement,
and shall be entitled to rely upon and directly to enforce such provisions of
this Agreement so long as no Insurer Default shall have occurred and be
continuing. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall give to any
Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, any
benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement.
Except as expressly stated otherwise herein or in the Related Documents, any
right of the Security Insurer to direct, appoint, consent to, approve of, or
take any action under this Agreement, shall be a right exercised by the Security
Insurer in its sole and absolute discretion.
SECTION 10.7. DISCLAIMER BY SECURITY INSURER. The Security Insurer

in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be
an original, and all of which counterparts shall constitute but one and the same
instrument.
SECTION 10.9. INTENTION OF PARTIES.
(a) The execution and delivery of this Agreement shall constitute an
acknowledgement by the Seller, that it is intended that the assignment and
transfer herein contemplated constitute a sale and assignment outright, and not
for security, of the Receivables and the other Trust Property, conveying good
title thereto free and clear of any Liens, from the Seller to the Trust, and
that the Receivables and the other Trust Property shall not be a part of the
Seller's estate in the event of the insolvency, receivership, conservatorship or
the occurrence of another similar event, of, or with respect to, the Seller. In
the event that such conveyance is determined to be made as security for a loan
made by the Trust or the Certificateholders to the Seller, the Seller intends
that it shall have granted to the Owner Trustee a first priority security
interest in all of the Seller's right, title and interest in and to the Trust
Property conveyed to the Trust pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.4 of this
Agreement, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under
applicable law.
-89-
(b) The execution and delivery of this Agreement shall constitute an
acknowledgement by the Seller and the Owner Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders that they intend to establish (for Federal tax purposes) a
trust taxable as a partnership, rather than an association taxable as a
corporation. The powers granted and obligations undertaken in this Agreement
shall be construed so as to further such intent.
SECTION 10.10. NOTICES. All demands, notices and communications
under this Agreement shall be in writing, personally delivered or mailed by
