--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ARTICLE II

 

CONVEYANCE OF TRANSFERRED ASSETS

 

SECTION 2.1 Conveyance of Transferred Assets. (a) In consideration of the
Issuer’s sale and delivery to, or upon the order of, the Seller of all of the
Notes and the Residual Interest on the Closing Date, the Seller does hereby
irrevocably sell, transfer, assign and otherwise convey to the Issuer without
recourse (subject to the obligations herein) all right, title and interest of
the Seller, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under the
Initial Transferred Assets, described in an Assignment in the form of Exhibit C
delivered on the Closing Date, which such Assignment and all attachments thereto
are herein incorporated by reference and made a part hereof. The sale, transfer,
assignment and conveyance made hereunder does not constitute and is not intended
to result in an assumption by the Issuer of any obligation of the Seller or the
Originators to the Obligors or any other Person in connection with the
Receivables or the other assets and properties conveyed hereunder or any
agreement, document or instrument related thereto.

 

(b) In consideration of the payment of the purchase price from the Pre-Funding
Account, on each Funding Date the Seller does hereby sell, transfer, assign, and
otherwise convey to the Issuer without recourse (subject to the obligations
herein) all right, title and interest of the Seller, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired, in, to and under the Subsequent Transferred Assets,
described in an Assignment in the form of Exhibit C delivered on such Funding
Date, which such Assignment and all attachments thereto are herein incorporated
by reference and made a part hereof. The purchase of the Subsequent Transferred
Assets on each Funding Date shall be made in accordance with the Purchase
Agreement and this Agreement. The sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance made
hereunder does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by
the Issuer of any obligation of the Seller or the Originators to the Obligors or
any other Person in connection with the Receivables or the other assets and
properties conveyed hereunder or any agreement, document or instrument related
thereto.

 

SECTION 2.2 Representations and Warranties of the Seller as to each Receivable.
On the date hereof or on each Funding Date, as the case may be, the Seller
hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth on Schedule I as to
the Receivables sold, transferred, assigned, and otherwise conveyed to the
Issuer under this Agreement on which such representations and warranties the
Issuer relies in acquiring the Receivables. Such representations and warranties
as to each Receivable relate to the characteristics of such Receivable as of the
applicable Cut-Off Date for such Receivable (unless Schedule I specifically
identifies a different date as applying to a particular representation or
warranty), but shall survive the Grant of the Receivables by the Issuer to the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. Notwithstanding any statement to
the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, the Seller
shall not be required to notify any insurer with respect to any Insurance Policy
obtained by an Obligor.

 

2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECTION 2.3 Repurchase upon Breach. Upon discovery by any party hereto of a
breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.2
which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer or the
Noteholders, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice
thereof to the other parties hereto; provided, that the failure to give such
notice shall not affect any obligation of the Seller hereunder. If the Seller
does not correct or cure such breach prior to the end of the Collection Period
which includes the 60th day (or, if the Seller elects, an earlier date) after
the date that the Seller became aware or was notified of such breach, then the
Seller shall purchase any Receivable affected by such breach which materially
and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer and the Noteholders from the
Issuer on the Payment Date following the end of such Collection Period. Any such
breach or failure will not be deemed to have a material and adverse effect if
such breach or failure does not affect the ability of the Issuer to receive and
retain timely payment in full on such Receivable. Any such purchase by the
Seller shall be at a price equal to the Repurchase Price. In consideration for
such repurchase, the Seller shall make (or shall cause to be made) a payment to
the Issuer equal to the Repurchase Price by depositing such amount into the
Collection Account prior to noon, New York City time on such Payment Date. Upon
payment of such Repurchase Price by the Seller, the Issuer and the Indenture
Trustee shall release and shall execute and deliver such instruments of release,
transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse or representation, as
shall be reasonably necessary to vest in the Seller or its designee any
Receivable repurchased pursuant hereto. It is understood and agreed that the
right to cause the Seller to purchase (or to enforce the obligations of COAF
under the Purchase Agreement to purchase) any Receivable as described above
shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the Issuer
and the Indenture Trustee. Neither the Owner Trustee nor the Indenture Trustee
will have any duty to conduct an affirmative investigation as to the occurrence
of any condition requiring the repurchase of any Receivable pursuant to this
Section 2.3.

 

SECTION 2.4 Custody of Receivable Files.

 

(a) Custody. The Issuer, upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
hereby revocably appoints the Servicer, and the Servicer hereby accepts such
appointment, to act as the agent of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee as
custodian of the following documents or instruments, which are hereby or will
hereby be constructively delivered to the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the
Issuer pursuant to the Indenture with respect to each Receivable (but only to
the extent applicable to such Receivable and only to the extent held in tangible
paper form) (the “Receivable Files”):

 

  (i) the fully executed original Contract related to such Receivable, including
any written amendments or extensions thereto;

 

  (ii) the original credit application or a photocopy thereof to the extent held
in paper form;

 

  (iii) the original Certificate of Title or, if not yet received, evidence that
an application therefore has been submitted with the appropriate authority, a
guaranty of title from a Dealer or such other document (electronic or otherwise,
as used in the applicable jurisdiction) that the Servicer keeps on file, in
accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, evidencing the

 

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

security interest of the related Originator in the Financed Vehicle; provided,
however, that in lieu of being held in the Receivable File, the Certificate of
Title may be held by a third party service provider engaged by the Servicer to
obtain and/or hold Certificates of Title; and

 

  (iv) any and all other documents that the Servicer or the Seller keeps on
file, in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, relating to a
Receivable, an Obligor or a Financed Vehicle.

 

(b) Safekeeping. The Servicer, in its capacity as custodian, shall hold the
Receivable Files for the benefit of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee. In
performing its duties as custodian, the Servicer shall act in accordance with
its Customary Servicing Practices. In accordance with its Customary Servicing
Practices, the Servicer will conduct, or cause to be conducted, periodic audits
of the Receivable Files held by it under this Agreement, and of the related
accounts, records, and computer systems, in such a manner as would enable the
Issuer or the Indenture Trustee to verify the accuracy of the Servicer’s record
keeping. The Servicer will promptly report to the Issuer and the Indenture
Trustee any failure on its part to hold a material portion of the Receivable
Files and maintain its accounts, records, and computer systems as herein
provided and promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure.
Nothing herein will be deemed to require an initial review or any periodic
review by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee of the Receivable Files.

 

(c) Maintenance of and Access to Records. The Servicer will maintain each
Receivable File at one of its offices in the United States, or at such other
location as specified to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee by written notice
not later than ninety (90) days after any change in location (it being
understood that the Receivable Files, or any part thereof, may be maintained at
the offices of any Person to whom the Servicer has delegated responsibilities in
accordance with Section 6.5). The Servicer will make available to the Issuer and
the Indenture Trustee or their duly authorized representatives, attorneys or
auditors a list of locations of the Receivable Files upon request. The Servicer
will provide access to the Receivable Files, and the related accounts records,
and computer systems maintained by the Servicer at such times as the Issuer or
the Indenture Trustee direct, but only upon reasonable notice and during the
normal business hours at the respective offices of the Servicer.

 

(d) Release of Documents. Upon written instructions from the Indenture Trustee,
the Servicer will release or cause to be released any document in the Receivable
Files to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee’s agent or the Indenture
Trustee’s designee, as the case may be, at such place or places as the Indenture
Trustee may designate, as soon thereafter as is practicable. Any document so
released will be handled by the Indenture Trustee with due care and returned to
the Servicer for safekeeping as soon as the Indenture Trustee or its agent or
designee, as the case may be, has no further need therefor.

 

(e) Instructions; Authority to Act. All instructions from the Indenture Trustee
will be in writing and signed by an Authorized Officer of the Indenture Trustee,
and the Servicer will be deemed to have received proper instructions with
respect to the Receivable Files upon its receipt of such written instructions.

 

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(f) Custodian’s Indemnification. Subject to Section 6.2, the Servicer as
custodian will indemnify the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee for any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, compensatory damages, payments, costs, or
expenses of any kind whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred, or asserted
against the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee as the result of any improper act or
omission in any way relating to the maintenance and custody by the Servicer as
custodian of the Receivable Files; provided, however, that the Servicer will not
be liable (i) to the Issuer for any portion of any such amount resulting from
the willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence of the Indenture Trustee or the
Issuer and (ii) to the Indenture Trustee for any portion of any such amount
resulting from the willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence of the Indenture
Trustee or the Issuer.

 

(g) Effective Period and Termination. The Servicer’s appointment as custodian
will become effective as of the Cut-Off Date and will continue in full force and
effect until terminated pursuant to this Section. If COAF resigns as Servicer in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or if all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer have been terminated under Section 7.1, the
appointment of the Servicer as custodian hereunder may be terminated by the
Indenture Trustee, or by the Noteholders of Notes evidencing not less than a
majority of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Controlling Class,
in the same manner as the Indenture Trustee or such Noteholders may terminate
the rights and obligations of the Servicer under Section 7.1. As soon as
practicable after any termination of such appointment, the Servicer will deliver
to the Indenture Trustee or the Indenture Trustee’s agent the Receivable Files
and the related accounts and records maintained by the Servicer at such place or
places as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably designate.

 

SECTION 2.5 Funding Events.

 

(a) A funding event (each, a “Funding Event”) shall occur upon a Funding Date
and in accordance with the requirements of this Section.

 

(b) During the Funding Period, the Issuer shall, on the Funding Dates, (i)
acquire Subsequent Transferred Assets from the Seller pursuant to Section 2.1(b)
(and the Seller shall have acquired the related Subsequent Purchased Assets from
COAF pursuant to the Purchase Agreement) and (ii) Grant all of the Issuer’s
right, title and interest in, to and under such Subsequent Transferred Assets to
the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes and the Swap
Counterparty. Such Subsequent Transferred Assets shall be acquired at the option
of the Issuer upon instruction from the Servicer; provided that such Subsequent
Transferred Assets may not be acquired through the Pre-Funding Account if the
effect of such acquisition would be to (i) reduce the weighted average contract
rate of the Receivables included in the Transferred Assets to less than 5.00%,
(ii) increase the weighted average remaining term to maturity of the Receivables
included in the Transferred Assets to greater than 58 months or (iii) increase
the portion of the Receivables included in the Transferred Assets due from
Obligors having a billing address in any given state to a level greater than 10%
of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Receivables (except with respect to
California).

 

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c) The following procedures shall be followed to effect a Funding Event:

 

(i) COAF will package and forward or cause to be packaged and forwarded to the
Servicer the Receivables File with respect to each Subsequent Receivable.

 

(ii) By the Funding Date, the Issuer shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to
the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer the following:

 

(1) a Notice of Funding Date (in the form of Exhibit A hereto) with the related
Schedule of Receivables delivered by the Seller with respect thereto; and

 

(2) a Joint Officer’s Certificate of COAF, the Seller and the Issuer (in the
form of Exhibit B hereto).

 

(d) Upon satisfaction of the above requirements, the Indenture Trustee will, on
any Funding Date, withdraw from the Pre-Funding Account an amount equal to the
Receivables Purchase Price for the Subsequent Receivables acquired on such
Funding Date and shall forward such funds (less amounts required to be deposited
into the Reserve Account as described below) to the Seller (or to COAF on behalf
of the Seller) or its designee, in cash by federal wire transfer funds pursuant
to the Notice of Funding Date. The Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Seller,
shall deposit into the Reserve Account from amounts which would otherwise be
released to the Seller from the Pre-Funding Account, an amount equal to the
Subsequent Reserve Account Deposit Amount for such Funding Date.

 

ARTICLE III

 

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF

RECEIVABLES AND TRUST PROPERTY

 

SECTION 3.1 Duties of Servicer.

 

(a) The Servicer is hereby appointed by the Issuer and authorized to act as
agent for the Issuer and in such capacity shall manage, service, administer and
make collections on the Receivables in accordance with its Customary Servicing
Practices, using the degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises
with respect to all comparable motor vehicle receivables that it services for
itself or others. The Servicer’s duties will include collection and posting of
all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors on such Receivables,
investigating delinquencies, sending invoices or payment coupons to Obligors,
reporting tax information to Obligors, accounting for collections and furnishing
monthly and annual statements to the Indenture Trustee with respect to
distributions. The Servicer hereby accepts such appointment and authorization
and agrees to perform the duties of Servicer with respect to the Receivables set
forth herein.

 

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer is hereby
authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the
Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders, the Residual
Interestholders, or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or
cancellation, or partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable
instruments, with respect to such Receivables or to the Financed Vehicles
securing such Receivables. If the Servicer commences a legal proceeding to
enforce a Receivable, the Issuer will thereupon be deemed to have automatically
assigned, solely for the purpose of

 

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

collection, such Receivable to the Servicer. If in any enforcement suit or legal
proceeding it is held that the Servicer may not enforce a Receivable on the
ground that it is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce
the Receivable, the Issuer will, at the Servicer’s expense and direction, take
steps to enforce the Receivable, including bringing suit in its name or the
names of the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer will furnish the Servicer with any
powers of attorney and other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to
enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties
hereunder. The Servicer, at its expense, will obtain on behalf of the Issuer all
licenses, if any, required by the laws of any jurisdiction to be held by the
Issuer in connection with ownership of the Receivables, and will make all
filings and pay all fees as may be required in connection therewith during the
term hereof.

 

(c) The Servicer hereby agrees that upon its resignation and the appointment of
a successor Servicer hereunder, the Servicer will terminate its activities as
Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 7.1, and, in any case, in a manner
which the Indenture Trustee reasonably determines will facilitate the transition
of the performance of such activities to such successor Servicer, and the
Servicer shall cooperate with and assist such successor Servicer.

 

SECTION 3.2 Collection of Receivable Payments. The Servicer will make reasonable
efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the
Receivables as and when the same becomes due in accordance with its Customary
Servicing Practices. Subject to Section 3.5, the Servicer may grant extensions,
rebates, deferrals, amendments, modifications or adjustments on a Receivable in
accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices; provided, however, that if
the Servicer extends the date for final payment by the Obligor of any Receivable
beyond the last day of the Collection Period prior to the Class B Final
Scheduled Payment Date, it will promptly purchase such Receivable in the manner
provided in Section 3.6. The Servicer may in its discretion waive any late
payment charge or any other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of
servicing a Receivable. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, the Servicer may refinance any Receivable by accepting a new
promissory note from the related Obligor and depositing the full outstanding
Principal Balance of such Receivable into the Collection Account. The receivable
created by such refinancing shall not be property of the Issuer.

 

SECTION 3.3 Repossession of Financed Vehicles. On behalf of the Issuer, the
Servicer will use reasonable efforts, consistent with its Customary Servicing
Practices, to repossess or otherwise convert the ownership of the Financed
Vehicle securing any Receivable as to which the Servicer had determined eventual
payment in full is unlikely unless it determines in its sole discretion that
repossession will not increase the Liquidation Proceeds by an amount greater
than the expense of such repossession. The Servicer will follow such Customary
Servicing Practices as it deems necessary or advisable and selling the Financed
Vehicle at public or private sale. The foregoing will be subject to the
provision that, in any case in which the Financed Vehicle has suffered damage,
the Servicer shall not be required to expend funds in connection with the repair
or the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless it determines in its sole
discretion that such repair and/or repossession will increase the Liquidation
Proceeds by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses.

 

SECTION 3.4 Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Vehicles. The Servicer
will, in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, take such steps as
are necessary to

 

7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

maintain perfection of the security interest created by each Receivable in the
related Financed Vehicle. The Issuer hereby authorizes the Servicer to take such
steps as are necessary to re-perfect such security interest on behalf of the
Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in the event of the relocation of a Financed
Vehicle or for any other reason.

 

SECTION 3.5 Covenants of Servicer. The Servicer will not (i) release the
Financed Vehicle securing each such Receivable from the security interest
granted by such Receivable in whole or in part except in the event of payment in
full by or on behalf of the Obligor thereunder or payment in full less a
deficiency which the Servicer would not attempt to collect in accordance with
its Customary Servicing Practices or in connection with repossession or except
as may be required by an insurer in order to receive proceeds from any Insurance
Policy covering such Financed Vehicle or (ii) reduce the Contract Rate or
Principal Balance with respect to any Receivable other than as required by
applicable law.

 

SECTION 3.6 Purchase of Receivables Upon Breach. Upon discovery by any party
hereto of a breach of any of the covenants set forth in Section 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 or
3.5 which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer or the
Noteholders, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice
thereof to the other parties hereto; provided, that the failure to give such
notice shall not affect any obligation of the Servicer hereunder. If the
Servicer does not correct or cure such breach prior to the end of the Collection
Period which includes the 60th day (or, if the Servicer elects, an earlier date)
after the date that the Servicer became aware or was notified of such breach,
then the Servicer shall purchase any Receivable affected by such breach which
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer and the Noteholders
from the Issuer on the Payment Date following the end of such Collection Period.
Any such breach or failure will not be deemed to have a material and adverse
effect if such breach or failure does not affect the ability of the Issuer to
receive and retain timely payment in full on such Receivable. Any such purchase
by the Servicer shall be at a price equal to the Repurchase Price. In
consideration for such repurchase, the Servicer shall make (or shall cause to be
made) a payment to the Issuer equal to the Repurchase Price by depositing such
amount into the Collection Account prior to noon, New York City time on such

funds on deposit from time to time in the Trust Accounts and in all proceeds
thereof and all such funds, investments and proceeds shall be part of the Trust

exceed the amounts, if any, owed to the Swap Counterparty under the Initial
Interest Rate Swap Agreement; provided, further that the Initial Swap
Counterparty shall only receive Swap Replacement Proceeds if all Swap
Termination Payments due from the Swap Counterparty to the Issuer have been paid
in full and if such amounts have not been paid in full then the amount of Swap
Replacement Proceeds necessary to make up any deficiency shall be remitted to
the Swap Termination Payment Account.

 

(c) The Issuer shall promptly, following the early termination of any Initial
Interest Rate Swap Agreement due to an “Event of Default” or “Termination Event”
(each as defined in the Initial Interest Rate Swap Agreement) and in accordance
with the terms of such Interest Rate Swap Agreement, enter into a Replacement
Interest Rate Swap Agreement to the extent possible and practicable through

Account exceed the costs of entering into a Replacement Interest Rate Swap
Agreement or (ii) the Issuer determines not to replace the Initial Interest Rate
Swap Agreement and the Rating Agency Condition is met with respect to such
determination, the amounts in the Swap Termination Payment Account shall be
included in Available Funds and allocated and applied in accordance with the

interest. The Indenture Trustee shall deposit all collateral received from the
Swap Counterparty under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement into the Swap
Collateral Account. Any and all funds at any time on deposit in, or otherwise to
the credit of, the Swap Collateral Account shall be held in trust by the
Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders. The only permitted
withdrawal from or application of funds on deposit in, or otherwise to the
credit of, the Swap Collateral Account shall be (i) for application to
obligations of the Initial Swap Counterparty to the Issuer under the Initial
Interest Rate Swap Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Initial
Interest Rate Swap Agreement or (ii) to return collateral to the Swap
Counterparty when and as required by the Initial Interest Rate Swap Agreement.

 

16

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(f) If at any time the Interest Rate Swap Agreement becomes subject to early
termination due to the occurrence of an “Event of Default” or “Termination
Event” (as defined in the Interest Rate Swap Agreement), the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee shall use reasonable efforts (following the expiration of any
applicable grace period) to enforce the rights of the Issuer thereunder as may
be permitted by the terms of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement and consistent
with the terms hereof. To the extent not fully paid from Swap Replacement
Proceeds, any Swap Termination Payment owed by the Issuer to the Swap
Counterparty under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement shall be payable to the Swap
Counterparty in installments made on each following Payment Date until paid in

THE SELLER

 

SECTION 5.1 Representations and Warranties of Seller. The Seller makes the
following representations and warranties as of the Closing Date and as of each
Funding Date on which the Issuer will be deemed to have relied in acquiring the
Transferred Assets. The representations and warranties speak as of the execution
and delivery of this Agreement and will survive the conveyance of the
Transferred Assets to the Issuer and the pledge thereof by the Issuer to the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.

 

(a) Existence and Power. The Seller is a Delaware limited liability company
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of
organization and has, in all material respects, full power and authority to own
its assets and operate its business as presently owned or operated, and to
execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to
which it is a party or affect the enforceability or collectibility of the
Receivables or any other part of the Transferred Assets. The Seller has obtained
all necessary licenses and approvals in each jurisdiction where the failure to
do so would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Seller to perform
its obligations under the Transaction Documents or affect the enforceability or
collectibility of the Receivables or any other part of the Transferred Assets.

 

(b) Authorization and No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance
by the Seller of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been duly
authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Seller and do not
contravene or constitute a default under (i) any applicable law, rule or
regulation, (ii) its organizational documents or (iii) any indenture or
agreement or instrument to which the Seller is a party or by which its
properties are bound (other than violations of such laws, rules, regulations,
indentures or agreements which do not affect the legality, validity or
enforceability of any of such agreements and which, individually or in the
aggregate, would not materially and adversely affect the transactions
contemplated by, or the Seller’s ability to perform its obligations under, the
Transaction Documents).

 

17

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c) No Consent Required. No approval or authorization by, or filing with, any
Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery
and performance by the Seller of any Transaction Document other than (i) UCC
filings, (ii) approvals and authorizations that have previously been obtained
and filings that have previously been made and (iii) approval, authorizations or
filings which, if not obtained or made, would not have a material adverse effect
on the enforceability or collectibility of the Receivables or any other part of
the Transferred Assets or would materially and adversely affect the ability of
the Seller to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.

 

(d) Binding Effect. Each Transaction Document to which the Seller is a party
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Seller enforceable
against the Seller in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability
may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
receivership, conservatorship or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights
generally and, if applicable, the rights of creditors of limited liability
companies from time to time in effect or by general principles of equity.

 

(e) Lien Filings. The Seller is not aware of any material judgment, ERISA or tax
lien filings against the Seller.

 

(f) No Proceedings. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to
the knowledge of the Seller, threatened against the Seller before or by any
Governmental Authority that (i) assert the invalidity or unenforceability of
this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, (ii) seek to prevent
the issuance of the Notes or the consummation of any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, (iii)
seek any determination or ruling that would materially and adversely affect the
performance by the Seller of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the
other Transaction Documents or the collectibility or enforceability of the
Receivables or have a material adverse effect on the Noteholders, or (iv) relate
to the Seller that would materially and adversely affect the federal or
Applicable Tax State income, excise, franchise or similar tax attributes of the
Notes.

 

SECTION 5.2 Liability of Seller; Indemnities. The Seller shall be liable in
accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically
undertaken by the Seller under this Agreement, and hereby agrees to the
following:

 

(a) The Seller shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Issuer, the Owner
Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the Residual Interestholder
from and against any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of the
Seller’s violation of federal or State securities laws in connection with the
registration or the sale of the Notes.

 

(b) The Seller will pay any and all taxes levied or assessed upon the Issuer or
upon all or any part of the Trust Estate.

 

(c) Indemnification under this Section 5.2 will survive the resignation or
removal of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee and the termination of
this Agreement and will include, without limitation, reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. If the Seller has made any
indemnity payments pursuant to this Section 5.2 and the Person to or on behalf
of whom such payments are made thereafter collects any of such amounts from
others, such Person will promptly repay such amounts to the Seller, without
interest.

 

18

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(d) The Seller’s obligations under this Section 5.2 are obligations solely of
the Seller and will not constitute a claim against the Seller to the extent that
the Seller does not have funds sufficient to make payment of such obligations.
In furtherance of and not in derogation of the foregoing, the Issuer, the
Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, by entering into or
accepting this Agreement, acknowledge and agree that they have no right, title
or interest in or to the Other Assets of the Seller. To the extent that,
notwithstanding the agreements and provisions contained in the preceding
sentence, the Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee
either (i) asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit from, Other Assets, or
(ii) is deemed to have any such interest, claim to, or benefit in or from Other
Assets, whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to applicable
provisions of insolvency laws or otherwise (including by virtue of Section
1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision having similar effect
under the Bankruptcy Code), then the Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee
or the Owner Trustee further acknowledges and agrees that any such interest,
claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is and will be expressly subordinated
to the indefeasible payment in full, which, under the terms of the relevant
documents relating to the securitization or conveyance of such Other Assets, are
entitled to be paid from, entitled to the benefits of, or otherwise secured by
such Other Assets (whether or not any such entitlement or security interest is
legally perfected or otherwise entitled to a priority of distributions or
application under applicable law, including insolvency laws, and whether or not
asserted against the Seller), including the payment of post-petition interest on
such other obligations and liabilities. This subordination agreement will be
deemed a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the
Bankruptcy Code. The Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner
Trustee each further acknowledges and agrees that no adequate remedy at law
exists for a breach of this Section 5.2(d) and the terms of this Section 5.2(d)
may be enforced by an action for specific performance. The provisions of this
Section 5.2(d) will be for the third party benefit of those entitled to rely
thereon and will survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

SECTION 5.3 Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of,

Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Seller enters into any of the
foregoing transactions and is not the surviving entity, (x) the Seller shall
deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel each stating that such merger, conversion, consolidation or succession
and such agreement of assumption comply with this Section 5.3 and that all

Indenture Trustee, respectively, in the Receivables, and reciting the details of
such filings, or (B) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such
action is necessary to preserve and protect such interest. The Seller will
provide notice of any merger, conversion, consolidation, or succession pursuant
to this Section 5.3 to the Rating Agencies. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the execution of the foregoing agreement of assumption and
compliance with clauses (x) and (y) of this Section 5.3 will be conditions to
the consummation of any of the transactions referred to in clauses (i), (ii) or
(iii) of this Section 5.3 in which the Seller is not the surviving entity.

 

SECTION 5.4 Limitation on Liability of Seller and Others. The Seller and any
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 hereunder. The Seller
will not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute, or defend any legal
action that is not incidental to its obligations under this Agreement, and that
in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability.

 

SECTION 5.5 Seller May Own Notes. The Seller, and any Affiliate of the Seller,
may in its individual or any other capacity become the owner or pledgee of Notes
with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Seller or an Affiliate
thereof, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in the other
Transaction Documents. Except as set forth herein or in the other Transaction
Documents, Notes so owned by the Seller or any such Affiliate will have an equal
and proportionate benefit under the provisions of this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents, without preference, priority, or distinction as among all
of the Notes. Notes owned by the Issuer, Seller, Servicer, Administrator or any
of their respective Affiliates shall be disregarded with respect to the
determination of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
vote or waiver hereunder or under any other Transaction Document.

 

SECTION 5.6 Sarbanes-Oxley Act Requirements. To the extent any documents are
required to be filed or any certification is required to be made with respect to

SECTION 5.7 Compliance with Organizational Documents. The Seller shall comply
with its limited liability company agreement and other organizational documents.

 

ARTICLE VI

 

THE SERVICER

 

SECTION 6.1 Representations of Servicer. The Servicer makes the following
representations and warranties as of the Closing Date and as of each Funding
Date on which the Issuer will be deemed to have relied in acquiring the
Transferred Assets. The representations and warranties speak as of the execution
and delivery of this Agreement and will survive the conveyance of the
Transferred Assets to the Issuer and the pledge thereof by the Issuer to the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture:

 

(a) Existence and Power. The Servicer is a Texas corporation validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of its state of organization and has, in all
material respects, full power and authority to own its assets and operate its
business as presently owned or operated, and to execute, deliver and perform its
obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party or affect the
enforceability or collectibility of the Receivables or any other part of the
Transferred Assets. The Servicer has obtained all necessary licenses and
approvals in each jurisdiction where the failure to do so would materially and
adversely affect the ability of the Servicer to perform its obligations under
the Transaction Documents or affect the enforceability or collectibility of the
Receivables or any other part of the Transferred Assets.

 

20

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b) Authorization and No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance
by the Servicer of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been
duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Servicer and do not
contravene or constitute a default under (i) any applicable law, rule or
regulation, (ii) its organizational documents or (iii) any material indenture or
material agreement or instrument to which the Servicer is a party or by which
its properties are bound (other than violations of such laws, rules,
regulations, indentures or agreements which do not affect the legality, validity
or enforceability of any of such agreements and which, individually or if the
aggregate, would not materially and adversely affect the transactions
contemplated by, or the Servicer’s ability to perform its obligations under, the
Transaction Documents).

 

(c) No Consent Required. No approval or authorization by, or filing with, any
Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery
and performance by the Servicer of any Transaction Document other than (i) UCC
filings, (ii) approvals and authorizations that have previously been obtained
and filings that have previously been made and (iii) approval, authorizations or
filings which, if not obtained or made, would not have a material adverse effect
on the enforceability or collectibility of the Receivables or would materially
and adversely affect the ability of the Servicer to perform its obligations
under the Transaction Documents.

 

(d) Binding Effect. Each Transaction Document to which the Servicer is a party
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Servicer enforceable
against the Servicer in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability
may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
receivership, conservatorship or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights
generally and, if applicable, the rights of creditors of limited liability
companies from time to time in effect or by general principles of equity.

 

(e) No Proceedings. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to
the knowledge of the Servicer, threatened against the Servicer before or by any
Governmental Authority that (i) assert the invalidity or unenforceability of
this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, (ii) seek to prevent
the issuance of the Notes or the consummation of any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, (iii)
seek any determination or ruling that would materially and adversely affect the
performance by the Servicer of its obligations under this Agreement or any of
the other Transaction Documents or have a material adverse effect on the
Noteholders, or (iv) relate to the Servicer that would materially and adversely
affect the federal or Applicable Tax State income, excise, franchise or similar
tax attributes of the Notes.

 

21

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECTION 6.2 Indemnities of Servicer. The Servicer will be liable in accordance
herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the
Servicer under this Agreement, and hereby agrees to the following:

 

(a) The Servicer will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, the Owner
Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders, the Residual Interestholders
and the Seller from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages,
claims and liabilities, arising out of or resulting from the use, ownership or
operation by the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof of a Financed Vehicle.

 

(b) The Servicer will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuer, the Owner
Trustee and the Indenture Trustee from and against any taxes that may at any
time be asserted against any such Person with respect to the transactions
contemplated herein or in the other Transaction Documents, if any, including,
without limitation, any sales, gross receipts, general corporation, tangible
personal property, privilege, or license taxes (but, in the case of the Issuer,
not including any taxes asserted with respect to, and as of the date of, the
conveyance of the Receivables to the Issuer or the issuance and original sales
of the Notes, or asserted with respect to ownership of the Receivables, or
federal or other Applicable Tax State income taxes arising out of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents)
and costs and expenses in defending against the same. For the avoidance of
doubt, the Servicer will not indemnify for any costs, expenses, losses, claims,
damages or liabilities due to the credit risk of the Obligor and for which
reimbursement would constitute recourse for uncollectible Receivables.

 

(c) The Servicer will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuer, the Owner
Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders, the Residual Interestholders
and the Seller 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 any such Person through,
the negligence, willful misfeasance, or bad faith (other than errors in
judgment) of the Servicer in the performance of its duties under this Agreement
or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party, or by reason of its
failure to perform its obligations or of reckless disregard of its obligations
and duties under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is
a party; provided, however, that the Servicer will not indemnify for any costs,
expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising from its breach of any
covenant for which the repurchase of the affected Receivables is specified as
the sole remedy pursuant to Section 3.6.

 

(d) The Servicer will indemnify Wilmington Trust Company in its individual
capacity and as trustee and its successors, assigns, directors, officers,
employees and agents (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against, any and all
loss, liability, expense, tax, penalty or claim (including reasonable legal fees
and expenses) of any kind and nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed
on, incurred by, or asserted against Wilmington Trust Company in its individual
capacity and as trustee or any Indemnified Party in any way relating to or
arising out of the Trust Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the Trust
Estate, the administration of the Trust Estate or the action or inaction of
Wilmington Trust Company under the Trust Agreement; provided, however, that the
Servicer shall not be liable for or required to indemnify Wilmington Trust
Company from and against any of the foregoing expenses arising or resulting

 

22

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

from (i) its own willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence, (ii) the
inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in Section 7.3 of the
Trust Agreement expressly made by Wilmington Trust Company in its individual
capacity, (iii) liabilities arising from the failure of Wilmington Trust Company
to perform obligations expressly undertaken by it in the last sentence of
Section 6.4 of the Trust Agreement or (iv) taxes, fees or other charges on,
based on or measured by, any fees, commissions or compensation received by the
Owner Trustee. To the extent not paid by the Servicer, such indemnification
shall be paid in accordance with Section 4.4 of this Agreement or Section 5.4(b)
of the Indenture. The Servicer will compensate the Indenture Trustee and
indemnify the Indenture Trustee to the extent and subject to the conditions set
forth in Section 6.7 of the Indenture, except to the extent that any cost,
expense, loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is incurred in
connection with the performance by the Indenture Trustee of the duties of a
Successor Servicer hereunder.

 

(e) Indemnification under this Section 6.2 by COAF (or any successor thereto
pursuant to Section 7.1) as Servicer, with respect to the period such Person was
the Servicer, will survive the termination of such Person as Servicer or a
resignation by such Person as Servicer as well as the termination of this
Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture
Trustee and will include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of
litigation. If the Servicer has made any indemnity payments pursuant to this
Section 6.2 and the Person to or on behalf of whom such payments are made
thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Person will promptly
repay such amounts to the Servicer, without interest.

 

SECTION 6.3 Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of,
Servicer. Any Person (i) into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated,
(ii) resulting from any merger, conversion, or consolidation to which the
Servicer is a party, (iii) succeeding to the business of the Servicer, or (iv)
any company or other business entity of which Capital One Financial Corporation
owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting stock or voting power
and 50% or more of the economic equity, which Person in any of the foregoing
cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the
Servicer under this Agreement, will 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
the Servicer enters into any of the foregoing transactions and is not the
surviving entity, (x) the Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee an
Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that such merger,
conversion, consolidation, or succession and such agreement of assumption comply
with this Section 6.3 and that all conditions precedent provided for in this
Agreement relating to such transaction have been complied with and (y) the
Servicer will deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either (A)
stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all financing statements and
continuation statements and amendments thereto have been executed and filed that
are necessary fully to preserve and protect the interest of the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee, respectively, in the Receivables, and reciting the details of
such filings, or (B) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such
action is necessary to preserve and protect such interests. The Servicer will
provide notice of any merger, conversion, consolidation or succession pursuant
to this Section 6.3 to the Rating Agencies. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the execution of the foregoing agreement of assumption and
compliance with clauses (x) and (y) of this Section 6.3 will be conditions to
the consummation of any of the transactions referred to in clauses (i), (ii), or
(iii) of this Section 6.3 in which the Servicer is not the surviving entity.

 

23

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECTION 6.4 Limitation on Liability of Servicer and Others. (a) Neither the
Servicer nor any of the directors or officers or employees or agents of the
Servicer will be under any liability to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the
Owner Trustee, the Noteholders, the Swap Counterparty or the Residual
Interestholders, except as provided under this Agreement, for any action taken
or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement or
for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision will not protect
the Servicer or any such Person against any liability that would otherwise be
imposed by reason of willful misfeasance or bad faith in the performance of
duties or by reason of its failure to perform its obligations or of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement, or by reason of
negligence in the performance of its duties under this Agreement (except for
errors in judgment). The Servicer and any director, officer or employee or agent
of the Servicer may rely in good faith on any Opinion of Counsel or on any
Officer’s Certificate of the Seller or certificate of auditors believed to be
genuine and to have been signed by the proper party in respect of any matters
arising under this Agreement.

 

(b) Except as provided in this Agreement, the Servicer will not be under any
obligation to appear in, prosecute, or defend any legal action that is not
incidental to its duties to service the Receivables in accordance with this
Agreement, and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability;
provided, however, that the Servicer may undertake any reasonable action that it
may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and
duties of the parties to this Agreement and the interests of the Noteholders and
the Residual Interestholders under this Agreement. In such event, the legal
expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom will be
expenses, costs and liabilities of the Servicer.

 

SECTION 6.5 Delegation of Duties. The Servicer may, at any time without notice
or consent, delegate (a) any or all of its duties (including, without
limitation, its duties as custodian) under the Transaction Documents to any of
its Affiliates or (b) specific duties to sub-contractors who are in the business
of performing such duties; provided, that no such delegation shall relieve the
Servicer of its responsibility with respect to such duties and the Servicer
shall remain obligated and liable to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee for
its duties hereunder as if the Servicer alone were performing such duties.

 

SECTION 6.6 COAF Not to Resign as Servicer. Subject to the provisions of
Sections 6.3 and 6.5, (a) COAF will not resign from the obligations and duties
hereby imposed on it as Servicer under this Agreement except upon determination
that the performance of its duties under this Agreement by reason of a change in
applicable legal requirements is no longer permissible under applicable law and
(b) COAF will not assign this Agreement or any of its rights, powers, duties or
obligations hereunder. Notice of any such determination permitting the
resignation of COAF will be communicated to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee
at the earliest practicable time (and, if such communication is not in writing,
will be confirmed in writing at the earliest practicable time) and any such
determination will be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect
delivered to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee concurrently with or promptly
after such notice. No such resignation will become effective until a successor
Servicer has assumed the responsibilities and obligations of COAF as Servicer.

 

SECTION 6.7 Servicer May Own Securities. The Servicer, and any Affiliate of the
Servicer, may, in its individual or any other capacity, become the owner or
pledgee of Notes with

 

24

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the same rights as it would have if it were not the Servicer or an Affiliate
thereof, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in the other
Transaction Documents. Except as set forth herein or in the other Transaction
Documents, Securities so owned by or pledged to the Notes or such Affiliate will
have an equal and proportionate benefit under the provisions of this Agreement,
without preference, priority or distinction as among all of the Notes.

 

ARTICLE VII

 

TERMINATION OF SERVICER

 

SECTION 7.1 Termination of Servicer.

 

(a) If a Servicer Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Indenture Trustee may, at the direction of a majority of the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the Controlling Class, by notice given to the
Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Issuer, the Administrator, the Noteholders, the
Swap Counterparty and each Rating Agency, terminate the rights and obligations
of the Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the Receivables. In the
event the Servicer is removed or resigns as Servicer with respect to servicing
the Receivables, the Indenture Trustee shall appoint a successor Servicer. Upon
the Servicer’s receipt of notice of termination the predecessor Servicer will
continue to perform its functions as Servicer under this Agreement only until
the date specified in such termination notice or, if no such date is specified
in such termination notice, until receipt of such notice. If a successor
Servicer has not been appointed at the time when the predecessor Servicer ceases
to act as Servicer in accordance with this Section, the Indenture Trustee
without further action will automatically be appointed the successor Servicer.
Notwithstanding the above, the Indenture Trustee, if it is legally unable or is
unwilling to so act, will appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction
to appoint a successor Servicer. Any successor Servicer shall be an established
institution having a net worth of not less than $100,000,000 and whose regular
business includes the servicing of comparable motor vehicle receivables having
an aggregate outstanding principal amount of not less than $50,000,000.

 

(b) Noteholders holding not less than a majority of the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of the Controlling Class may waive any Servicer Termination
Event.

 

(c) If replaced, the Servicer agrees that it will use commercially reasonable
efforts at its own expense to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the
servicing of the Receivables to a successor Servicer.

 

(d) Upon the effectiveness of the assumption by the successor Servicer of its
duties pursuant to this Section 7.1, the successor Servicer shall be the
successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this
Agreement with respect to the Receivables, and shall be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto, except with respect
to the obligations of the predecessor Servicer that survive its termination as
Servicer, including indemnification obligations as set forth in Section 6.2(e).
In such event, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee are hereby authorized
and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the predecessor 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

 

25

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

effect the purposes of such termination and replacement of the Servicer, whether
to complete the transfer and endorsement of the Receivables and related
documents, or otherwise. No Servicer shall resign or be relieved of its duties
under this Agreement, as Servicer of the Receivables, until a newly appointed
Servicer for the Receivables shall have assumed the responsibilities and
obligations of the resigning or terminated Servicer under this Agreement.

 

(e) In connection with such appointment, the Indenture Trustee may make such
arrangements for the compensation of the successor Servicer out of Available
Funds as it and such successor Servicer will agree; provided, however, that no
such compensation will be in excess of the amount paid to the predecessor
Servicer under this Agreement.

 

SECTION 7.2 Notification to Noteholders. Upon any termination of, or appointment
of a successor to, the Servicer pursuant to this Article VII, the Indenture
Trustee will give prompt written notice thereof to the Owner Trustee, the
Issuer, the Administrator, each Rating Agency and to the Noteholders at their
respective addresses of record.

 

ARTICLE VIII

 

OPTIONAL PURCHASE

 

SECTION 8.1 Optional Purchase of Trust Estate. The Servicer shall have the right
at its option (the “Optional Purchase”) to purchase the Trust Estate from the
Issuer on any Payment Date if, either before or after giving effect to any
payment of principal required to be made on such Payment Date, the aggregate
Pool Balance is less than or equal to 10% of the sum of the initial Pool Balance
plus the Initial Pre-Funding Account Deposit Amount. The purchase price for the
Trust Estate shall equal the Redemption Price (the “Optional Purchase Price”),
which amount shall be deposited by the Servicer into the Collection Account on
the Redemption Date. If the Servicer exercises the Optional Purchase, the Notes
shall be redeemed and in each case in whole but not in part on the related
Payment Date for the Redemption Price.

 

ARTICLE IX

 

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

 

SECTION 9.1 Amendment.

 

(a) Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by the Seller and the
Servicer without the consent of the Indenture Trustee, any Noteholder, the Swap
Counterparty, the Issuer or the Owner Trustee; provided that such amendment
shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Indenture
Trustee and the Owner Trustee materially and adversely affect the interests of
the Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee; provided, further,
that such amendment shall not materially and adversely affect the rights or
obligations of the Swap Counterparty or the Issuer under the Interest Rate Swap
Agreement unless the Swap Counterparty shall have consented in writing to such
amendment (and such consent shall be deemed to have been given if the Swap
Counterparty does not object in writing within ten (10) Business Days after
receipt of a written request for such consent); provided, further, that any
amendment requiring the Swap Counterparty’s consent hereunder must also satisfy
the Rating Agency Condition to be effective.

 

26

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b) Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by the Seller and the
Servicer but without the consent of the Indenture Trustee, any Noteholder, the
Swap Counterparty, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or any other Person to add,
modify or eliminate any provisions as may be necessary or advisable in order to
enable the Seller, the Servicer or any of their Affiliates to comply with or
obtain more favorable treatment under any law or regulation or any accounting
rule or principle, it being a condition to any such amendment that the Rating
Agency Condition shall have been satisfied.

 

(c) This Agreement (including Appendix A) may also be amended from time to time
by Seller, Servicer and the Indenture Trustee, with the consent of the
Noteholders evidencing not less than a majority of the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, voting as a single class, for the
purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any
of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of
the Noteholders; provided that no such amendment shall (i) reduce the interest
rate or principal amount of any Note, change the timing of distributions on any
Note or delay the Final Scheduled Payment Date of any Note without the consent
of the Holder of such Note or (ii) reduce the percentage of the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, the Holders of which are
required to consent to any matter without the consent of the Holders of at least
the percentage of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Outstanding
Notes which were required to consent to such matter before giving effect to such
amendment; provided, further, that such amendment shall not materially and
adversely affect the rights or obligations of the Swap Counterparty or the
Issuer under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement unless the Swap Counterparty shall
have consented in writing to such amendment (and such consent shall be deemed to
have been given if the Swap Counterparty does not object in writing within ten
(10) Business Days after receipt of a written request for such consent);
provided, further, that any amendment requiring the Swap Counterparty’s consent
hereunder must also satisfy the Rating Agency Condition to be effective;
provided, further, that the Indenture Trustee may not agree to any amendment to
this Agreement if such amendment failed to comply with the requirements of
Section 9.2 of the Indenture. It will not be necessary for the consent of
Noteholders to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent,
but it will be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. The
manner of obtaining such consents (and any other consents of Noteholders
provided for in this Agreement) and of evidencing the authorization of the
execution thereof by Noteholders will be subject to such reasonable requirements
as the Indenture Trustee may prescribe, including the establishment of record
dates pursuant to the Note Depository Agreement.

 

(d) Prior to the execution of any such amendment, the Servicer shall provide
written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Rating Agency;
and promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent, the Servicer
shall furnish a copy of such amendment or consent to each Rating Agency and the
Indenture Trustee.

 

(e) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Seller, the
Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive and
conclusively rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such
amendment is authorized or permitted by

 

27

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

this Agreement and that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery
of such amendment have been satisfied. The Owner Trustee and the Indenture
Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which
adversely affects the Owner Trustee’s or the Indenture Trustee’s, as applicable,
own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement. Furthermore,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Agreement may not be
amended in any way that would adversely affect the Owner Trustee’s rights,
privileges, indemnities, duties or obligations under this Agreement, the
Transaction Documents or otherwise without the prior written consent of the
Owner Trustee.

 

SECTION 9.2 Protection of Title.

 

(a) The Seller shall authorize and file such financing statements and cause to
be authorized and filed such continuation and other statements, all in such
manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve, maintain
and protect the interest of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee under this
Agreement in the Receivables. The Seller shall deliver (or cause to be
delivered) to the Issuer file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any
document filed as provided above, as soon as available following such filing.

 

(b) Neither the Seller nor the Servicer shall change its name, identity,
organizational structure or jurisdiction of organization in any manner that
would make any financing statement or continuation statement filed by the Seller
in accordance with paragraph (a) above “seriously misleading” within the meaning
of Sections 9-506, 9-507 or 9-508 of the UCC, unless it shall have given the
Issuer and the Indenture Trustee at least five days’ prior written notice
thereof and, to the extent necessary, has promptly filed amendments to
previously filed financing statements or continuation statements described in
paragraph (a) above.

 

(c) The Seller shall give the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee at least five
days’ prior written notice of any change of location of the Seller for purposes
of Section 9-307 of the UCC and shall have taken all action prior to making such
change (or shall have made arrangements to take such action substantially
simultaneously with such change, if it is not possible to take such action in
advance) reasonably necessary or advisable to amend all previously filed
financing statements or continuation statements described in paragraph (a)
above.

 

(d) The Servicer shall maintain (or shall cause its Sub-Servicer to maintain)
accounts and records as to each Receivable accurately and in sufficient detail
to permit (i) the reader thereof to know at any time the status of such
Receivable, including payments and recoveries made and payments owing (and the
nature of each) and (ii) reconciliation between payments or recoveries on (or
with respect to) each Receivable and the amounts from time to time deposited in
the Collection Account in respect of such Receivable.

 

(e) The Servicer shall maintain (or shall cause its Sub-Servicer to maintain)
its computer systems so that, from time to time after the conveyance under this
Agreement of the Receivables, the master computer records (including any backup
archives) that refer to a Receivable shall indicate clearly the interest of the
Issuer in such Receivable and that such Receivable is owned by the Issuer and
has been pledged to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. Indication
of the Issuer’s interest in a Receivable shall not be deleted from or modified
on such computer systems until, and only until, the related Receivable shall
have been paid in full or repurchased.

 

28

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(f) If at any time the Servicer shall propose to sell, grant a security interest
in or otherwise transfer any interest in motor vehicle 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 printouts (including any restored from backup archives) that, if they shall
refer in any manner whatsoever to any Receivable, shall indicate clearly that
such Receivable has been sold and is owned by the Issuer and has been pledged to
the Indenture Trustee.

 

SECTION 9.3 Other Liens or Interests. Except for the conveyances and grants of
security interests pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents, the Seller shall not sell, pledge, assign or transfer the Receivables
or other property transferred to the Issuer to any other Person, or grant,
create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens)
on any interest therein, and the Seller shall defend the right, title and
interest of the Issuer in, to and under such Receivables and other property
transferred to the Issuer against all claims of third parties claiming through
or under the Seller.

 

SECTION 9.4 Transfers Intended as Sale; Security Interest.

 

(a) Each of the parties hereto expressly intends and agrees that the transfers
contemplated and effected under this Agreement are complete and absolute sales
and transfers rather than pledges or assignments of only a security interest and
shall be given effect as such for all purposes. It is further the intention of
the parties hereto that the Receivables and related Transferred Assets shall not
be part of the Seller’s estate in the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of the
Seller. The sales and transfers by the Seller of Receivables and related
Transferred Assets hereunder are and shall be without recourse to, or
representation or warranty (express or implied) by, the Seller, except as
otherwise specifically provided herein. The limited rights of recourse specified
herein against the Seller are intended to provide a remedy for breach of
representations and warranties relating to the condition of the property sold,
rather than to the collectibility of the Receivables.

 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Receivables and other
Transferred Assets are held to be property of the Seller, or if for any reason
this Agreement is held or deemed to create indebtedness or a security interest
in the Receivables and other Transferred Assets, then it is intended that:

 

  (i) This Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the
meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and the
Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction;

 

  (ii) The conveyance provided for in Section 2.1 shall be deemed to be a grant
by the Seller, and the Seller hereby grants, to the Issuer of a security
interest in all of its right (including the power to convey title thereto),
title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the
Receivables and other Transferred Assets, to secure such indebtedness and the
performance of the obligations of the Seller hereunder;

 

29

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  (iii) The possession by the Issuer, or the Servicer as the Issuer’s agent, of
the Receivables Files and any other property as constitute instruments, money,
negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the
secured party” or possession by the purchaser or a person designated by such
purchaser, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the New
York Uniform Commercial Code and the Uniform Commercial Code of any other
applicable jurisdiction; and

 

  (iv) Notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments,
receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed to
be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, bailees
or agents (as applicable) of the Issuer for the purpose of perfecting such
security interest under applicable law.

 

SECTION 9.5 Notices, Etc. All demands, notices and communications hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be delivered or mailed by registered or certified
first-class United States mail, postage prepaid, hand delivery, prepaid courier
service, or by Electronic Transmission, and addressed in each case as set forth
on Schedule II or at such other address as shall be designated by any of the
foregoing in a written notice to the other parties hereto. Any notice required
or permitted to be mailed to a Noteholder shall be given by first class mail,
postage prepaid, at the address of such Noteholder as shown in the Note
Register. Delivery shall occur only upon receipt or reported tender of such
communication by an officer of the recipient entitled to receive such notices
located at the address of such recipient for notices hereunder; provided,
however, that any notice to a Noteholder mailed within the time prescribed in
this Agreement shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether
or not the Noteholder shall receive such notice.

 

SECTION 9.6 Choice of Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL, SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT
REFERENCE TO THE RULES THEREOF RELATING TO CONFLICTS OF LAW AND THE OBLIGATIONS,
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH SUCH LAWS.

 

SECTION 9.7 Headings. The section headings hereof have been inserted for
convenience of reference only and shall not be construed to affect the meaning,
construction or effect of this Agreement.

 

SECTION 9.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but
all of such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same
instrument.

 

SECTION 9.9 Waivers. No failure or delay on the part of the Servicer, the
Seller, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in exercising any power or right
hereunder (to the extent such

 

30

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Person has any power or right hereunder) shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right.
No notice to or demand on any party hereto in any case shall entitle it to any
notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No waiver or approval by any
party hereto under this Agreement shall, except as may otherwise be stated in
such waiver or approval, be applicable to subsequent transactions. No waiver or
approval under this Agreement shall require any similar or dissimilar waiver or
approval thereafter to be granted hereunder.

 

SECTION 9.10 Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents contain a final and
complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect
to the subject matter thereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among
the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter thereof, superseding all
prior oral or written understandings. There are no unwritten agreements among
the parties.

 

SECTION 9.11 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.

 

SECTION 9.12 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted
assigns. This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations
of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full
force and effect until such time as the parties hereto shall agree.

 

SECTION 9.13 Acknowledgment and Agreement. By execution below, the Seller
expressly acknowledges and consents to the pledge, assignment and grant of a
security interest in the Receivables and the other Transferred Assets by the
Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture for the benefit of the
Noteholders. In addition, the Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that for so
long as the Notes are outstanding, the Indenture Trustee will have the right to
exercise all powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer under this Agreement.

 

SECTION 9.14 Cumulative Remedies. The remedies herein provided are cumulative
and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

hereto shall commence or join with any other Person in commencing any proceeding
against such Bankruptcy Remote Party under any bankruptcy, reorganization,
liquidation or insolvency law or statute now or hereafter in effect in any

SECTION 9.16 Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally:

 

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement or any documents executed and delivered in connection
herewith, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof,
to the nonexclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York,

(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be
effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any

I-2

(d) Binding Obligation. The Receivable constitutes the legal, valid and binding
payment obligation in writing of the Obligor, enforceable by the holder thereof
in accordance with its terms, except (i) as enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation or other similar

rescinded nor has the related Financed Vehicle been released from the lien of

(f) No Default; No Waiver. Except for payment delinquencies continuing for a
period of not more than 30 days as of the applicable Cut-Off Date, the Seller
has no knowledge that a default, breach, violation or event permitting
acceleration under the terms of the Receivable existed at the applicable Cut-Off
Date or that any continuing condition that with notice or lapse of time, or
both, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting
acceleration under the terms of the Receivable had arisen as of the applicable
Cut-Off Date and the Seller has not waived any of the foregoing or any other
provision of such receivable.

 

(g) Insurance. The Receivable requires that the Obligor thereunder obtain
comprehensive and collision insurance covering the Financed Vehicle.

 

(h) No Government Obligor. The Obligor on the Receivable is not the United
States of America or any state thereof or any local government, or any agency,
department, political subdivision or instrumentality of the United States of
America or any state thereof or any local government.

 

(i) Assignment. No Receivable has been originated in, or is subject to the laws
of, any jurisdiction under which the sale, transfer, assignment, setting over,
conveyance or pledge of such Receivable would be unlawful, void, or voidable.
The Seller has not entered into any agreement with any Obligor that prohibits,
restricts or conditions the assignment of the related Receivable.

 

(j) Good Title. It is the intention of the Seller that the sale, transfer,
assignment and conveyance herein contemplated constitute an absolute sale,
transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Receivables and that the Receivables
not be part of the Seller’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy
petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy law. No Receivable has
been sold, transferred, assigned, conveyed or pledged to any Person other than
pursuant to the Transaction Documents. As of the Closing Date

 

I-3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     or Subsequent Funding Date, as applicable, and immediately prior to the
sale and transfer herein contemplated, the Seller had good and marketable title
to and was the sole owner of each Receivable free and clear of all Liens (except
any Lien which will be released prior to assignment of such Receivable
hereunder), and, immediately upon the sale and transfer thereof, the Issuer will
have good and marketable title to each Receivable, free and clear of all Liens.

 

(k) Filings. All filings (including, without limitation, UCC filings) necessary
in any jurisdiction to give the Issuer a first priority, validly perfected
ownership interest in the Receivables (other than the Related Security with
respect thereto), and to give the Indenture Trustee a first priority perfected
security interest therein, will be made within ten days of the Closing Date. All
such filings will contain a statement to the following effect: “A purchase of or
security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will
violate the rights of the Secured Party.”

 

(l) Priority. The Receivable is not pledged, assigned, sold, subject to a
security interest, or otherwise conveyed other than pursuant to the Transaction
Documents. The Seller has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any
financing statements against the Originators, COAF or the Seller that include a
description of collateral covering the Receivables other than any financing
statement relating to security interests granted under the Transaction Documents
or that have been or, prior to the assignment of such Receivable hereunder, will
be terminated, amended or released. The Sale and Servicing Agreement creates a
valid and continuing security interest in the Receivable (other than the Related
Security with respect thereto) in favor of the Issuer which security interest is
prior to all other Liens and is enforceable as such against all other creditors
of and purchasers and assignees from the Seller.

 

(m) Characterization of Receivables. Each Receivable constitutes either “chattel
paper”, an “account”, an “promissory note”, or a “payment intangible”, each as
defined in the UCC.

 

(n) One Original. There is only one original executed copy of each Receivable in
existence. The Servicer (or its agent) has possession of such original. If such
original has been marked, then such original does not have any marks or
notations indicating that it has been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to
any Person other than to a party to the Transaction Documents.

 

(o) Defenses. As of the related Cut-Off Date, there are no rights of rescission,
offset, claim, counterclaim or defense, and the Seller has no knowledge of the
same being asserted or threatened, with respect to any Receivable.
