Borrower may, at its option, request a single advance (the "Advance" or the

Lenders in this regard. VFCC may, in its sole discretion, make the Advance, or
if VFCC shall decline to make the Advance, the Liquidity Agent shall make the
Advance on behalf of the Investors. Under no circumstances shall any Lender make
the Advance if, after giving effect to such Advance, the aggregate Capital
outstanding hereunder would exceed the Initial Facility Limit. The Borrower
hereby acknowledges that after the Advance has been made, the Lenders shall have
no obligation to advance any amounts hereunder and the Borrower shall have no
right to request further advances.(i)

                  (ii)     The Advance hereunder shall be requested by the
         Borrower delivering to the Deal Agent (with a copy to the Collateral
         Agent) the duly completed Funding Notice no later than 5:00 p.m.
         (Charlotte, North Carolina time) at least two (2) Business Days prior
         to the proposed Funding Date. The Funding Notice shall: (i) specify the
         desired amount of the Funding which amount must not exceed the Initial
         Facility Limit; (ii) specify the date of such Funding: and (iii)
         include a representation that all conditions precedent for the Funding
         described in Article III hereof have been met. The Funding Notice shall
         be irrevocable.

                  (iii)    Following receipt of the Funding Notice, the Deal
         Agent will consult with VFCC in order to assist VFCC in determining
         whether or not to make the Advance. If VFCC decides in its sole
         discretion that it isunwilling or unable to make the proposed Advance,
         the Investors will make the Advance. On the date of the Advance, VFCC
         or each Investor shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions
         set forth in Article III, make available to the Borrower in same day
         funds, at such bank or other location reasonably designated by the

to the Deal Agent, make written request for VFCC and the Investors to extend the
Commitment Termination Date for an additional period of 364 days. The Deal Agent
will give prompt notice to VFCC and each of the Investors of its receipt of such
request for extension of the Commitment Termination Date. VFCC and each Investor
shall make a determination, in their sole discretion, not less than 15 days
prior to the then applicable Commitment Termination Date as to whether or not it
will agree to extend the Commitment Termination Date; provided, however, that
the failure of VFCC or any Investor to make a timely response to the Borrower's
request for extension of the Commitment Termination Date shall be deemed to
constitute a refusal by VFCC or the Investor, as the case may be, to extend the
Commitment Termination Date. The Commitment Termination Date shall only be
extended upon the consent of both (i) VFCC and (ii) 100% of the Investors.

         (c)      The Note.

                  (i)      The Borrower's obligation to pay the principal of and

         "Note") which shall:  (1) be dated the Closing Date; (2) be in the
         stated principal amount equal to the Initial Facility Limit (as
         reflected from time to time on the grid attached thereto); (3) bear
         interest as provided therein; (4) be payable to the order of the Deal
         Agent for the account of the Lenders, and mature on September 30, 2004;
         and (5) be substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto, with blanks
         appropriately completed in conformity herewith. The Deal Agent shall,
         and is hereby authorized to, make a notation on the schedule attached
         to the Note of the date and the amount of the Funding and the date and
         amount of the payment of principal thereon, and prior to any transfer
         of the Note, the Deal Agent shall endorse the outstanding principal
         amount of the Note on the schedule attached thereto; provided, however,
         that failure to make such notation shall not adversely affect any
         Lender's rights with respect to the Note.

                  (ii)     Although the Note shall be dated the Closing Date,
         interest in respect thereof shall be payable only for the periods
         during which amounts are outstanding thereunder. In addition, although
         the stated principal amount of the Note shall be equal to the Initial
         Facility Limit, the Note shall be enforceable with respect to the
         Borrower's obligation to pay the principal thereof only to the extent
         of the unpaid principal amount of the Capital outstanding thereunder at
         the time such enforcement shall be sought.

         Section 2.2.       Acceptance by Collateral Agent.

         (a) (i) As security for the prompt and complete payment of the Note and
the performance of all of the Borrower's obligations under the Note, this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the Borrower hereby grants to the
Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, without recourse
except as provided herein, a security interest in and continuing Lien on all of
the Borrower's property (whether now owned or hereafter acquired or


                                       24

arising, and wherever located) including, without limitation, all of its right,
title and interest to: (i) the Loans, Dealer Agreements and Contracts, and all
monies due or to become due in payment thereupon on and after the Cut-Off Date,
including but not limited to all Collections; (ii) all Related Security; and
(iii) all income and Proceeds of the foregoing (collectively, the "Collateral").
The foregoing pledge does not constitute an assumption by the Collateral Agent
of any obligations of the Borrower to Obligors or any other Person in connection
with the Collateral or under any agreement or instrument relating to the
Collateral, including, without limitation, any obligation to make future
advances to or on behalf of such Obligors.(i)

                  (ii)     In connection with such grant, the Borrower agrees to
         record and file, at its own expense, financing statements with respect
         to the Collateral now existing and hereafter created meeting the
         requirements of applicable state law in such manner and in such
         jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect the first priority security
         interest of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties
         in the Collateral, and to deliver a file-stamped copy of such financing
         statements or other evidence of such filing to the Collateral Agent and
         the Deal Agent on or prior to the Funding Date. In addition, the
         Borrower and the Servicer agree to clearly and unambiguously mark their
         respective general ledgers and all accounting records and documents and
         all computer tapes and records to show that the Collateral, including
         that portion of the Collateral consisting of the Dealer Agreements
         listed on Schedule IX hereto, the Loans and the related Contracts and
         the rights to payment under the related Dealer Agreements, has been
         pledged to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties
         hereunder.

                  (iii)    In connection with such pledge, the Borrower agrees
         to deliver to the Collateral Agent on the Closing Date, one or more
         computer files containing true and complete lists of all Dealer
         Agreements, Pools and Loans securing the payment of the Note and
         amounts due under the Transaction Documents and all of the Borrower's
         obligations under the Note and the Transaction Documents as of the
         Funding Date, and all Contracts securing all such Loans, identified by
         account number, dealer number, and pool number and Outstanding Balance
         as of the Funding Date. Such file shall be marked as Schedule V hereto,
         shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent as confidential and
         proprietary, and is hereby incorporated into and made a part of this
         Agreement.

                  (iv)     In connection with such pledge, each of the Borrower,
         CAC and the Servicer also agrees, within 90 days of the Closing Date,
         to clearly mark each Contract or Contract folder securing a Loan with
         the following legend: "THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN PLEDGED TO WACHOVIA
         SECURITIES, INC., AS COLLATERAL AGENT FOR THE BENEFIT OF CERTAIN
         SECURED PARTIES". Such legend shall be in bold, in type face at least
         as large as 12 point and shall be entirely in capital letters.

         (b)      The Collateral Agent hereby acknowledges its acceptance, on
behalf of the Secured Parties, of the pledge by the Borrower of the Loans and
all other Collateral. The Collateral Agent further acknowledges that, prior to
or simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
Borrower delivered to the Collateral Agent the computer file or microfiche list
represented by the Borrower to be the computer file or microfiche list described
in Section 2.2(a)(iii).

         (c)      The Collateral Agent hereby agrees not to disclose to any
Person (including any Secured Party) any of the account numbers or other
information contained in the computer files or microfiche lists delivered to the
Collateral Agent by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(iii), except as is
required in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder or in
enforcing the rights of the Secured Parties or to a Successor Servicer;
provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, the Collateral Agent may reply to a request from any Person for a
list of Loans, Dealer Agreements, Contracts or other information referred to in
any financing statement. The Collateral Agent agrees to take such measures as
shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the Borrower to protect and
maintain the security and confidentiality of such information. The Collateral
Agent shall provide the Borrower with written notice five Business Days prior to
any disclosure pursuant to this subsection 2.2(c).

         Section 2.3.     [Reserved.]

         Section 2.4.      Determination of Yield.  The Deal Agent shall
initially determine the applicable Yield Rate and the Yield (including unpaid
Yield, if any, due and payable on a prior Payment Date) to be paid by the
Borrower with respect to the Advance on each Payment Date for the related
Accrual Period and shall advise the Servicer thereof on the third Business Day
prior to such Payment Date. Prior to the next succeeding Payment Date, the Deal
Agent shall redetermine the applicable Yield Rate and Yield (including unpaid
Yield, if any, due and payable on a prior Payment Date) for the prior Accrual
Period and the difference, if any, between (i) the Yield Rate and Yield as
initially determined for such Accrual Period and (ii) the Yield Rate and Yield
as redetermined on the Payment Date for such Accrual Period. The amount owed in
respect of the Yield for the next succeeding Accrual Period, as initially
determined by the Deal Agent, shall be either increased or decreased, if
necessary and as appropriate, to reflect such difference in the Yield for the
most recently completed Accrual Period.

         Section 2.5.      [Reserved].

         Section 2.6.      Actions with Respect to Advance. The Deal Agent may,
with the consent of the Lender that has funded the Advance, take any of the
following actions at any time with respect to the Advance: (i) divide the
Advance funded by such Lender into two or more portions of having aggregate
Capital equal to the Capital of such divided Advance or (ii) combine one portion
of the Advance funded by such Lender with another portion of the Advance funded
by such Lender with an Accrual Period ending on the same day, creating a new
Advance having Capital equal to the Capital of the two portions of Advances
combined.

         Section 2.7.      Settlement Procedures. (a) On each Payment Date, the
Servicer shall determine, the portion of Available Funds which are Income
Collections with respect to such Payment Date and shall so notify the Collateral
Agent. On such Payment Date, the Collateral Agent shall withdraw such amount of
Income Collections and any Excess Reserve Amount, Reserve Advances and Servicer
Advances and investment earnings on amounts on deposit in the Collection Account

applicable Person in the following order of priority:

                  (iii)    THIRD, to the Backup Servicer, any Monthly Servicing
         Fee (as defined in the Backup Servicing Agreement) owed to the Backup
         Servicer due in respect of such Payment Date and any unpaid Monthly
         Servicing Fee (as defined in the Backup Servicing Agreement) from any
         prior Payment Date and not paid pursuant to Section 2.7(a).

                  (iv)     FOURTH, to the Deal Agent for payment to the Lenders,
         the Affected Parties, the Backup Servicer or the Indemnified Parties,
         as applicable, all other Aggregate Unpaids (other than Capital) then

         (c)      (i)      If on any Payment Date the amount paid pursuant to
Section 2.7(b)(i) is insufficient to cover all Carrying Costs due, on such
Payment Date the Collateral Agent shall withdraw from the Reserve Account an
amount equal to such shortfall (such withdrawal, a "Reserve Advance") and
deposit such amount to the Collection Account. The Collateral Agent shall pay
such amount to the Deal Agent for payment to the Lenders.(i)

                  (ii)     If on any Payment Date the amount on deposit in the
         Reserve Account is insufficient to pay the insufficiency set forth in
         Section 2.7(c)(i), on or prior to 9:00 a.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina
         time) the Servicer shall deposit to the Collection Account an amount
         equal to such insufficiency (each, a "Servicer Advance"), and the
         Collateral Agent shall pay such amount to the Deal Agent for payment to
         the Lenders. The Servicer shall not be required to make any Servicer
         Advance to the extent it does not reasonably deem such amount to be
         recoverable from future collections on the Loans.


                  (iii)    If on any Payment Date the amount paid pursuant to
         Section 2.7(b)(ii) is insufficient to reduce Capital to zero, the Deal
         Agent, in its sole discretion, may direct the Collateral Agent to
         withdraw any or all of the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account,
         and pay such amount to the Deal Agent, for payment to the Lenders.

         Section 2.9.      Collections and Allocations.

         The Servicer shall make such deposits or payments on the date indicated
therein by wire transfer, in immediately available funds.

         (b)      Initial Deposits. On the Funding Date, the Servicer will
deposit (in immediately available funds) into the Collection Account all
Collections received after the applicable Cut-Off Date and through and including
the Funding Date, in respect of the Loans.

Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event, to the extent there are
uninvested amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and the Reserve Account,
all amounts shall be invested as set forth in Section 6.7(c).(i)

                  (ii)     On the date on which Capital is reduced to zero and
         all Aggregate Unpaids have been indefeasibly paid in full and all
         Collateral is released from the Lien of this Agreement, any amounts on
         deposit in the Reserve Account shall be released to the Borrower.

         (d)      Allocation of Collections Between Principal Collections and
Income Collections. The Servicer will allocate Collections monthly in accordance
with the actual amount of Income Collections and Principal Collections received.
The Servicer shall determine each month the amount of Collections received
during such month which constitutes amounts which, pursuant to the terms of any
Dealer Agreement, are required to be remitted to the applicable Dealer (such
collections, "Dealer Collections") and shall so notify the Collateral Agent.
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Collateral Agent, at the
direction of the Servicer, shall distribute to the Borrower on each Payment Date
an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Dealer Collections received during or
with respect to the prior Collection Period prior to the distribution of
Available Funds pursuant to Section 2.7.

         Section 2.10.     Payments, Computations, Etc.

         (a)      Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all amounts to be

deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 11:00 a.m.
(Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the day when due in lawful money of the
United States in immediately available funds to the Agent's Account. The
Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to the Secured Parties
interest on all amounts not paid or deposited when due hereunder 2.0% per annum
above the Base Rate, payable on demand; provided, however, that such interest
rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law.
Such interest shall be retained by the Deal Agent except to the extent that such
failure to make a timely payment or deposit has continued beyond the date for
distribution by the Deal Agent of such overdue amount to the Secured Parties, in
which case such interest accruing after such date shall be for the account of,
and distributed by the Deal Agent, to the Secured Parties. All computations of
interest and all computations of Yield and other fees hereunder shall be made on
the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the
first but excluding the last day) elapsed.

         (b)      Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due
on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next
succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be
included in the computation of payment of Yield, interest or any fee payable
hereunder, as the case may be.

         (c)      If the Advance requested by the Borrower for the Funding
Date and approved by a Lender and the Deal Agent pursuant to Section 2.1, is
not, for any reason made or effectuated, as the case may be, on the requested
Funding Date, the Borrower shall indemnify such Lender against any reasonable
loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender, including, without limitation,
any loss (including loss of anticipated profits, net of anticipated profits in
the reemployment of such funds in the manner determined by such Lender), cost or
expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or
other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain the Funding.

"Servicing Fee"), monthly in arrears in accordance with Section 2.7(a), which
fee shall be equal to the product of (i) the Servicer Fee Rate and (ii)
Collections (exclusive of amounts received under any Hedging Agreement).

receiving an invoice for such amounts.

         Section 2.13.     Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy; Illegality.

         (a)      If either (i) the introduction of or any change (including,
without limitation, any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve
requirements) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the
compliance by an Affected Party with any guideline or request from any central
bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law),
shall (A) subject an Affected Party to any Tax (except for Taxes on the overall
net income of such Affected Party), duty or other charge with respect to the
Advance made by it hereunder, or any right to make the Funding hereunder, or on
any payment made hereunder, (B) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve
requirement (including, without limitation, any reserve

requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but
excluding any reserve requirement, if any, included in the determination of
Yield), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with
or for the amount of, or credit extended by, any Affected Party or (C) impose
any other condition affecting the Advance made by it hereunder or a Lender's
rights hereunder, the result of which is to increase the cost to any Affected
Party or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected
Party under this Agreement, then within ten days after demand by such Affected
Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis
for such demand), the Borrower shall pay directly to such Affected Party such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such
additional or increased cost incurred or such reduction suffered.

         (b)      If either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the
interpretation of any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request or
(ii) compliance by any Affected Party with any law, guideline, rule, regulation,
directive or request from any central bank or other governmental authority or
agency (whether or not having the force of law), including, without limitation,
compliance by an Affected Party with any request or directive regarding capital
adequacy, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the
capital of any Affected Party as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or
arising in connection herewith to a level below that which any such Affected
Party could have achieved but for such introduction, change or compliance
(taking into consideration the policies of such Affected Party with respect to
capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Affected Party to be material,
then from time to time, within ten days after demand by such Affected Party
(which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for
such demand), the Borrower shall pay directly to such Affected Party such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such
reduction. For avoidance of doubt, any interpretation of Accounting Research
Bulletin No. 51 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board shall constitute an
adoption, change, request or directive subject to this subsection 2.13(b).

         (c)      If as a result of any event or circumstance similar to
those described in clauses (a) or (b) of this section, any Affected Party is
required to compensate a bank or other financial institution providing liquidity
support, credit enhancement or other similar support to such Affected Party in
connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of the Advance
hereunder, then within ten days after demand by such Affected Party, the
Borrower shall pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as
may be necessary to reimburse such Affected Party for any amounts payable or
paid by it.

         (d)      In determining any amount provided for in this section, the
Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Any
Affected Party making a claim under this section shall submit to the Servicer a
written description as to such additional or increased cost or reduction and the
calculation thereof, which written description shall be conclusive absent
demonstrable error.

         (e)      If a Lender shall notify the Deal Agent that a Eurodollar
Disruption Event as described in clause (a) of the definition of "Eurodollar
Disruption Event" has occurred, the Deal Agent shall in turn so notify the
Borrower, whereupon all Capital in respect of which Yield accrues at the
Adjusted Eurodollar Rate shall immediately be converted into Capital in respect
of which Yield accrues at the Base Rate.

increase, the "Additional Amount") such that every net payment made under this
Agreement after withholding for or on account of any Taxes (including, without
limitation, any Taxes on such increase) is not less than the amount that would
have been paid had no such deduction or withholding been deducted or withheld.
The foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts, however, will not apply with
respect to net income or franchise taxes imposed on a Lender or the Deal Agent,
respectively, with respect to payments required to be made by the Borrower or
Servicer under this Agreement, by a taxing jurisdiction in which such Lender or
Deal Agent is organized, conducts business or is paying taxes as of the Closing
Date (as the case may be).

         (b)      The Borrower will indemnify each Affected Party for the full
amount of Taxes payable by such Person in respect of Additional Amounts and any
liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with
respect thereto. All payments in respect of this indemnification shall be made
within ten days from the date a written invoice therefor is delivered to the
Borrower.

         (c)      The Borrower will notify the Deal Agent on a quarterly annual
basis of any payments by the Borrower in respect of any Taxes, not including
those Taxes paid by CAC on a consolidated basis.

         (d)      If a Lender is not created or organized under the laws of the
United States or a political subdivision thereof, such Lender shall deliver to
the Borrower, with a copy to the Deal Agent, (i) within 15 days after the date
hereof, or, if such Lender becomes a Lender after the Closing Date, the date on
which such Lender becomes a Lender hereunder, two (or such other number as may
from time to time be prescribed by Applicable Laws) duly completed copies of IRS
Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms or other certificates or
statements that may be required from time to time by the relevant United States
taxing authorities or Applicable Laws), as appropriate, to permit the Borrower
to make payments hereunder for the account of such Lender, as the case may be,
without deduction or withholding of United States federal income or similar
Taxes and (ii) upon the obsolescence of or after the occurrence of any event
requiring a change in, any form or certificate previously delivered pursuant to
this Section 2.14(d), copies (in such numbers as may from time to time be
prescribed by Applicable Laws or regulations) of such additional, amended or
successor forms, certificates or statements as may be required under Applicable
Laws or regulations to permit the Borrower to make payments hereunder for the
account of such Lender, without deduction or withholding of United States
federal income or similar Taxes.

         (e)      If, in connection with an agreement or other document
providing liquidity support, credit enhancement or other similar support to the
Lenders in connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of the
Funding hereunder, the Lenders are required to compensate a bank or other
financial institution in respect of Taxes under circumstances similar

                                       32
<PAGE>

to those described in this section then within 10 days after demand by the
Lenders, the Borrower shall pay to the Lenders such additional amount or amounts
as may be necessary to reimburse the Lenders for any amounts paid by them.

         (f)      Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of
the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained
in this section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

         Section 2.15.     Assignment of the Contribution Agreement.  The
Borrower hereby assigns to the Deal Agent, for the ratable benefit of the
Secured Parties hereunder, all of the Borrower's right, title and interest in
and to, but none of its obligations under, the Contribution Agreement. The
Borrower confirms that the Deal Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties shall
have the sole right to enforce the Borrower's rights and remedies under the
Contribution Agreement for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

         Section 2.16.     Optional Take-Out.

         (a)      On any Business Day (the "Optional Take-Out Date"), the
Borrower shall have the right to prepay all of the aggregate Capital and require
the Deal Agent to release its security interest and Lien on the related
Contracts and Loans (the "Optional Take-Out"), subject to the following terms
and conditions:

                  (i)      The Borrower shall have given the Deal Agent and the
         Servicer at least five (5) Business Days' prior written notice of its
         intent to effect the Optional Take-Out, which notice shall be
         irrevocable; provided however, failure to effect such Optional Take-Out
         on the Optional Take-Out Date shall not result in a Termination Event,
         but the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any Breakage Costs and any
         other losses incurred by the Lenders in connection therewith;

                  (ii)     Unless the Optional Take-Out is to be effected on a
         Payment Date (in which case the relevant calculations with respect to
         such Optional Take-Out shall be reflected on the applicable Monthly
         Report), the Servicer shall deliver to the Deal Agent a Servicer's
         Optional Take-Out Certificate, together with evidence to the reasonable
         satisfaction of the Deal Agent (which evidence may consist solely of
         the Servicer's Optional Take-Out Certificate) that the Borrower shall
         have sufficient funds on the related Optional Take-Out Date to effect
         the contemplated Optional Take-Out in accordance with this Agreement.
         In effecting the Optional Take-Out, the Borrower may use the proceeds
         of sales of the Loans (which sales must be made in arm's-length
         transactions to Persons other than the Originator);

                  (iii)    After giving effect to the Optional Take-Out and the
         release to the Borrower of the Loans and related Contracts on the
         Optional Take-Out Date, (x) the representations and warranties
         contained in Section 4.1 and 4.2 hereof shall continue to be correct in
         all material respects, except to the extent relating to an earlier date
         and (y) neither an Unmatured Termination Event nor a Termination Event
         shall have resulted.

                  (iv)     On the Optional Take-Out Date, the Collateral Agent
         shall have received, for the benefit of the Secured Parties and the
         Hedge Counterparties, as applicable, in

                                       33
<PAGE>

         immediately available funds, an amount equal to the sum of: (A) the
         aggregate outstanding Capital plus (B) an amount equal to all unpaid
         Yield (including Yield not yet accrued) to the end of the Accrual
         Period plus (C) an aggregate amount equal to the sum of all other
         amounts due and owing to the Deal Agent, the Lenders, the Backup
         Servicer and the Hedge Counterparties, as applicable, under this
         Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, to the extent accrued to
         such date and to accrue thereafter (including, without limitation,
         Breakage Costs and Hedge Costs) plus (D) any outstanding Servicer
         Advances plus (E) all other Aggregate Unpaids. No such reduction shall
         be given effect unless the Borrower has complied with the terms of any
         Hedging Agreement requiring that any derivative transaction related
         thereto be terminated in whole or in part as a result of any such
         reduction in the Capital and Borrower has paid all Hedge Costs due to
         the relevant Hedge Counterparty for any such termination.

                  (v)      Upon receipt of the amount set forth in Section
         2.16(a)(iv), the Collateral Agent shall apply such amounts first to the
         pro-rata reduction of the Capital, second to the payment of accrued
         Yield on the amount of Capital to be repaid and to the payment of any
         Breakage Costs, by paying such amounts to the Lenders, and third to pay
         any Hedge Costs related to such reduction of the Capital due to the
         relevant Hedge Counterparty, and fourth to pay all other Aggregate
         Unpaids related to such reduction of the Capital due to the relevant
         party.

         (b)      The Borrower hereby agrees to pay the reasonable legal fees
and expenses of the Deal Agent and the Lenders in connection with any Optional
Take-Out (including, but not limited to, expenses incurred in connection with
the release of the Lien of the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and any other party
having such an interest in the Loans in connection with such Optional Take-Out).

         (c)      In connection with any Optional Take-Out, on the related
Optional Take-Out Date, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall,
at the expense of the Borrower: (i) execute such instruments of release with
respect to the portion of the Loans to be released to the Borrower, in favor of
the Borrower as the Borrower may reasonably request; (ii) deliver any portion of
the Loans to be released to the Borrower in its possession to the Borrower; and
(iii) otherwise take such actions, and cause or permit the Collateral Agent to
take such actions, as are necessary and appropriate to release the Lien of the
Collateral Agent on the Loans to be released to the Borrower and deliver to the
Borrower such Loans.

                    CONDITIONS TO THE CLOSING AND THE FUNDING

         Section 3.1.      Conditions to the Closing and the Funding. The

Advance hereunder, nor shall any Lender, the Deal Agent, the Liquidity Agent,
the Backup Servicer or the Collateral Agent be obligated to take, fulfill or
perform any other action hereunder, until (i) in the case of the Closing Date,

                                   ARTICLE IV
                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

         Section 4.1       Representations and Warranties of the Borrower. The
Borrower represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent, the Deal Agent and the
Secured Parties on the Closing Date and the Funding Date as follows:

         (a)      Organization and Good Standing.  The Borrower has been duly
organized, and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the
laws of the State of Michigan, with all requisite power and authority to own or
lease its properties and conduct its business as such business is presently
conducted, and the Borrower had at all relevant times, and now has all


                                       36

<PAGE>

necessary power, authority and legal right to acquire, own and pledge the
Collateral and perform its obligations under this Agreement.

         (b)      Due Qualification.  The Borrower is duly qualified to do
business and is in good standing as a corporation and has obtained all necessary
licenses and approvals, in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of
property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, licenses or
approvals.

         (c)      Power and Authority; Due Authorization. The Borrower: (i) has
all necessary power, authority and legal right to: (A) execute and deliver this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, (B) carry
out the terms of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and (C)
transfer and assign each Loan, Related Security and all other Collateral on the
terms and conditions herein provided and (ii) has duly authorized by all
necessary action the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and
the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the transfer and
assignment of the Loans, Related Security and all other Collateral on the terms
and conditions herein provided. This Agreement and each other Transaction
Document to which it is a party have been duly executed and delivered by it.

         (d)      Binding Obligation.  This Agreement and each other Transaction
Document to which the Borrower is a party constitutes a legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Borrower, each enforceable against the Borrower in accordance
with its terms.

         (e)      No Violation.  The consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it
is a party and the fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof will not (i)
conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or
constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under,
the Borrower's certificate of incorporation, bylaws or any Contractual
Obligation of the Borrower, (ii) result in the creation or imposition of any
Lien upon any of the Borrower's properties pursuant to the terms of any such
Contractual Obligation, other than this Agreement, or (iii) violate any
Applicable Law.

         (f)      No Proceedings.  There is no litigation, proceeding or
investigation pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, threatened
against the Borrower, before any Governmental Authority (i) asserting the
invalidity of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which the
Borrower is a party, (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to
which the Borrower is a party or (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that
could reasonably be expected to have Material Adverse Effect.

         (g)      All Consents Required.  All approvals, authorizations,
consents, orders or other actions of any Person or of any Governmental Authority
(if any) required for the due execution, delivery and performance by the
Borrower of this Agreement and any other Transaction Document to which the
Borrower is a party have been obtained.

         (h)      Bulk Sales.  The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement do not require compliance with any "bulk sales" act or similar law by
Borrower.

                                       37
<PAGE>

         (i)      Solvency.  The transactions under this Agreement and any other
Transaction Document to which the Borrower is a party do not and will not render
the Borrower not Solvent and the Borrower shall deliver to the Deal Agent on the
Closing Date a certification in the form of Exhibit F. The Originator has
confirmed in writing to the Borrower that, so long as the Borrower is Solvent,
the Originator will not cause the Borrower to file a voluntary petition under
the Bankruptcy Code or any other Insolvency Laws.

         (j)      Selection Procedures.  No procedures believed by the Borrower
to be adverse to the interests of VFCC or the Lenders were utilized by the
Borrower in identifying and/or selecting Loans or Dealer Agreements. In
addition, each Loan shall have been underwritten in accordance with and satisfy
the standards of any Credit Guidelines that has been established by the Borrower
or the Originator and is then in effect.

         (k)      Taxes.  The Borrower has filed or caused to be filed all tax
returns that are required to be filed by it. The Borrower has paid or made
adequate provisions for the payment of all Taxes and all assessments made
against it or any of its property (other than any amount of Tax the validity of
which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and
with respect to which reserves in accordance with GAAP have been provided on the
books of the Borrower), and no tax lien has been filed and, to the Borrower's
knowledge, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such Tax, fee or
other charge.

         (l)      Exchange Act Compliance; Regulations T, U and X. None of the
transactions contemplated herein (including, without limitation, the use of the
proceeds from the pledge of the Collateral) will violate or result in a
violation of Section 7 of the Securities Exchange Act, or any regulations issued
pursuant thereto, including, without limitation, Regulations T, U and X of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 12 C.F.R., Chapter II. The
Borrower does not own or intend to carry or purchase, and no proceeds from the
pledge of the Collateral will be used to carry or purchase, any "margin stock"
within the meaning of Regulation U or to extend "purchase credit" within the
meaning of Regulation U.

         (m)      Quality of Title. Each Loan, together with the Related
Security related thereto, shall, at all times, be owned by the Borrower free and
clear of any Lien except as provided in Section 4.2(a)(iii), and upon the
Funding, the Collateral Agent as agent for the Secured Parties shall acquire a
valid and perfected first priority security interest in such Loans, the Related
Security related thereto and all Collections then existing or thereafter
arising, free and clear of any Lien, except as provided in Section 4.2(a)(iii).
No effective financing statement or other instrument similar in effect covering
any Loan or Dealer Agreement shall at any time be on file in any recording
office except such as may be filed (i) in favor of the Borrower in accordance
with the Contribution Agreement or (ii) in favor of the Collateral Agent in
accordance with this Agreement.

         (n)      Security Interest.  The Borrower has granted a security
interest (as defined in the UCC) to the Collateral Agent, as agent for the
Secured Parties, in the Collateral, which is enforceable in accordance with
applicable law upon execution and delivery of this Agreement. Upon the filing of
UCC-1 financing statements naming the Collateral Agent as secured party and the
Borrower as debtor, or upon the Collateral Agent obtaining control, in the case
of that portion of the Collateral which constitutes chattel paper, the
Collateral Agent, as agent for the Secured


                                       38
<PAGE>

Parties, shall have a first priority perfected security interest in the
Collateral. All filings (including, without limitation, such UCC filings) as are
necessary in any jurisdiction to perfect the interest of the Collateral Agent,
as agent for the Secured Parties, in the Collateral have been made.

         (o)      Accuracy of Information. All information heretofore furnished
by the Borrower (including without limitation, the Monthly Report and CAC's
financial statements) to the Deal Agent, Collateral Agent or any Lender for
purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document, or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, will be true,
correct, complete and accurate in every material respect, on the date such
information is stated or certified.

         (p)      Location of Offices. The principal place of business and chief
executive office of the Borrower and the office where the Borrower keeps all the
Records are located at the address of the Borrower referred to in Section 14.2
hereof (or at such other locations as to which the notice and other requirements
specified in Section 5.2(g) shall have been satisfied).

         (q)      Eligibility of Loans. Each Loan classified as an Eligible Loan
(or included in any aggregation of balances of Eligible Loans) by the Borrower
or the Servicer in any document or report delivered hereunder was an Eligible
Loan as of the date so delivered and (ii) each related Contract classified as an
Eligible Contract (or included in any aggregation of balances of Eligible
Contracts) by the Borrower or Servicer in any document or report delivered
hereunder was an Eligible Contract as of the date so delivered.

         (r)      Tradenames; Place of Business; Correct Legal Name.  (i) Except
as described in Schedule III, the Borrower has no trade names, fictitious names,
assumed names or "doing business as" names or other names under which it has
done or is doing business; (ii) the principal place of business and chief
executive office of the Borrower are located at the address of the Borrower set
forth on the signature pages hereto; and (iii) "CAC Warehouse Funding Corp." is
the correct legal name of the Borrower indicated on the public records of the
Borrower's jurisdiction of organization.

         (s)      Contribution Agreement.  The Contribution Agreement is the
only agreement pursuant to which the Borrower purchases Loans from the
Originator.

         (t)      Value Given.  The Borrower shall have given reasonably
equivalent value to the Originator in consideration for the transfer to the
Borrower of the Loans and Related Security under the Contribution Agreement, no
such transfer shall have been made for or on account of an antecedent debt owed
by the Originator to the Borrower, and no such transfer is or may be voidable or
subject to avoidance under any section of the Bankruptcy Code.

         (u)      Accounting.  The Borrower accounts for the transfers to it
from the Originator of Loans and Related Security under the Contribution
Agreement as sales or contributions to capital of such Loans and Related
Security in its books, records and financial statements, in each case consistent
with GAAP and with the requirements set forth herein.

         (v)      Special Purpose Entity.  The Borrower is in compliance with
Section 5.2(o) hereof.


                                       39

<PAGE>

         (w)      Confirmation from the Originator. The Borrower has received in
writing from the Originator confirmation that, so long as the Borrower is not
"insolvent" within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code, the Originator will not
cause the Borrower to file a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any
other bankruptcy or insolvency laws. Each of the Borrower and the Originator is
aware that in light of the circumstances described in the preceding sentence and
other relevant facts, the filing of a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy
Code for the purpose of making any Loan or any other assets of the Borrower
available to satisfy claims of the creditors of the Originator would not result
in making such assets available to satisfy such creditors under the Bankruptcy
Code.

         (x)      Investment Company Act.  The Borrower is not an "investment
company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

         (y)      ERISA.  The present value of all benefits vested under all
"employee pension benefit plans," as such term is defined in Section 3 of ERISA,
maintained by the Borrower, or in which employees of the Borrower are entitled
to participate, as from time to time in effect (herein called the "Pension
Plans"), does not exceed the value of the assets of the Pension Plan allocable
to such vested benefits (based on the value of such assets as of the last annual
violation date). No prohibited transactions, accumulated funding deficiencies,
withdrawals or reportable events have occurred with respect to any Pension Plans
that, in the aggregate, could subject the Borrower to any material tax, penalty
or other liability. No notice of intent to terminate a Pension Plan has been

         Section 4.5.      Breach of Representations and Warranties.

         (a)      Retransfer of an Ineligible Loan. If a Loan is an Ineligible
Loan, no later than the earlier of (i) knowledge by the Borrower of such Loan
being an Ineligible Loan and (ii) receipt by the Borrower from the Deal Agent,
the Collateral or the Servicer of written notice thereof the Borrower shall
accept the release of each such Loan (or portion thereof, in the case of an
Overconcentration Loan), and the Collateral Agent as agent for the Secured
Parties shall be deemed, upon receipt of the Release Price (as defined below),
to convey to the Borrower, without recourse, representation or warranty, all of
its right, title and interest in such Loan (or portion thereof, in the case of
an Overconcentration Loan) and Related Security related thereto. The Borrower
shall accept the release of each such Loan (or portion thereof, in the case of
an Overconcentration Loan), and the Aggregate Outstanding Eligible Loan Balance
shall be reduced by the Net Loan Balance (or portion thereof, in the case of an
Overconcentration Loan) (as of the end of the most recent Collection Period) of
each such Loan. On and after the date of release, the Loan (or portion thereof,
in the case of an Overconcentration Loan) so released shall not be included in
the Collateral. The Borrower shall, on the date of retransfer of such Loan (or
portion thereof, in the case of an Overconcentration Loan), make a deposit to
the Collection Account (for allocation pursuant to Section 2.7) in immediately
available funds an amount (the "Release Price") equal to the sum of (i): the
product of the Net Loan Balance related to such Loan (or portion thereof, in the
case of an Overconcentration Loan) on as of the last day of the related
Collection Period and the Net Advance Rate; (ii) accrued and unpaid Carrying
Costs related to such Loan (or portion thereof, in the case of an
Overconcentration Loan) through the date of such deposit; (iii) any related
Servicer Advances; and (iv) and all Hedge Costs due to the relevant Hedge
Counterparties for any termination in whole or in part of one or more
transactions related to the relevant Hedge Agreement, as required by the terms
of any Hedging Agreement. The Deal Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties,
shall, at the sole expense of the Servicer execute such documents and
instruments of release as may be prepared by the Servicer on behalf of the
Borrower and take other such actions as shall reasonably be requested by the
Borrower to effect the release of such Loan (or portion thereof, in the case of
an Overconcentration Loan) pursuant to this subsection.

         (b)      Retransfer of All of the Loans. In the event of a breach of
any representation or warranty set forth in Section 4.2 hereof which breach
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, by notice then
given in writing to the Borrower, the Deal Agent may direct the Borrower to
accept the release by the Collateral Agent of all of the Loans, in which case
the Borrower shall be obligated to accept the release of such Loans on a Payment
Date specified by the Deal Agent (such date, the "Release Date"); provided,
however, that no such release shall be given effect unless Borrower has complied
with the terms of any Hedging Agreement requiring that any derivative
transaction related thereto be terminated in whole or in part and the Borrower
has paid all Hedge Costs due with respect to such termination. The Borrower
shall deposit in the Collection Account on the Release Date an amount equal to:
(A) the Aggregate Unpaids minus (B) the amount, if any, available in the
Collection Account and Reserve Account on such Payment Date (the "Retransfer
Amount") for allocation and distribution in accordance with Section 2.7. On the
Release Date, provided that full Release Amount has been deposited into the
Collection Account, the Loans and Related Security related thereto shall be
transferred to the Borrower; and the Collateral Agent as agent for the Secured
Parties shall, at the sole expense of the Servicer, execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer,


                                       44

<PAGE>

in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be prepared
and reasonably requested by the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower to vest in
the Borrower, or its designee or assignee, all right, title and interest of the
Deal Agent as agent for the Secured Parties in, to and under the Loans.

         (c)      Ineligible Contracts.  If a Contract is an Ineligible
Contract, no later than the earlier of (i) knowledge by the Borrower of such
Contract (or portion thereof, in the case of an Overconcentration Contract)
being an Ineligible Contract and (ii) receipt by the Borrower from the Deal
Agent, the Collateral Agent or Servicer of written notice thereof, the Borrower
shall deposit in the Collection Account (for allocation and distribution
pursuant to Section 2.7) in immediately available funds an amount (the "Released
Contract Price") equal to the sum of (i): (x) the product of the Outstanding
Balance (or portion thereof, in the case of an Overconcentration Contract) of
such Contract as of the last day of the related Collection Period and a
fraction, the numerator of which is Capital as of the Funding Date and the
denominator of which is the Outstanding Balance of Eligible Contracts as of the
Funding Date; (y) divided by 0.8; (ii) accrued and unpaid Carrying Costs related
to such Contract (or portion thereof, in the case of an Overconcentration
Contract) through the date of such deposit; (iii) any related Servicer Advances;
and (iv) and all Hedge Costs due to the relevant Hedge Counterparties for any
termination in whole or in part of one or more transactions related to the
relevant Hedge Agreement, as required by the terms of any Hedging Agreement. The
Aggregate Outstanding Eligible Loan Balance shall be reduced by the Outstanding
Balance (or portion thereof, in the case of an Overconcentration Contract) (as
of the end of the most recent Collection Period) related to each such Ineligible
Contract. On and after the date of such payment, any such Ineligible Contract
(or portion thereof, in the case of an Overconcentration Contract) shall not be
included in the Collateral.

         (d)      Remedy for Breach.  The parties hereto agree that the sole
remedy for the breach by the Borrower of the representations and warranties set
forth in Section 4.2 hereof with respect to the eligibility of a Loan or
Contract shall be set forth in Section 4.5.

         (e)      Application.  Amounts paid in accordance with Section 4.5(a),
(b) and (c) shall be allocated among Income Collections and Principal

with Section 2.7.

         Section 5.5 and that all conditions precedent herein provided for
         relating to such transaction have been complied with and, in the case

         (b)      Change of Name or Location of Records.  The Servicer shall not
(x) change its name or its state of organization, move the location of its
principal place of business and chief executive office, and the offices where it
keeps records concerning the Loans from the location referred to in Section 14.2
or (y) move, or consent to the Collateral Agent moving, the Records from the

first priority perfected security interest of the Collateral Agent as agent for
the Secured Parties in the Collateral.

         (c)      Change in Payment Instructions to Obligors.  The Servicer will

<PAGE>

         (i)      Credit Guidelines and Collection Guidelines.  The Servicer
will not amend, modify, restate or replace, in whole or in part, the Credit
Guidelines or Collection Guidelines, which change would impair the
collectibility of any Loan or Contract or otherwise adversely affect the
interests or the remedies of the Deal Agent, Collateral Agent or the Secured
Parties under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, without the

                    ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF CONTRACTS

         Section 6.1.      Servicing. (a) The Borrower, the Deal Agent and the
Collateral Agent hereby appoint CAC as servicer hereunder and CAC hereby accepts
such appointment and agrees to manage, collect and administer each of the Loans
as Servicer. In the event of a Servicer Termination Event, the Deal Agent shall
have the right to terminate CAC as servicer hereunder. Upon termination of CAC
as servicer of the Loans pursuant to Section 6.11 hereof, the Deal Agent shall
have the right to appoint a Successor Servicer and enter into a servicing
agreement with such Successor Servicer at such time and exercise all of its
rights under Section 6.3 hereof. Such servicing agreement shall specify the
duties and obligations of such Successor Servicer, and all references herein to
the Servicer shall be deemed to refer to such Successor Servicer.
Notwithstanding the above, the Deal Agent may appoint any established financial
institution having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 and whose regular
business includes the servicing of automobile installment sales contracts as the
Successor Servicer hereunder.(a)

         (b)      The Borrower shall cause the Servicer to deposit all
Collections to the Collection Account no later than two Business Days after
receipt. The Servicer agrees to deposit all Collections to the Collection
Account no later than two (2) Business Days after receipt.

         (c)      On or before 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the
Servicer, beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002, the Servicer
shall cause a firm of independent public accountants (who may also render other
services to the Servicer or the Borrower) to furnish a report to the Collateral
Agent, the Deal Agent and the Secured Parties to the effect that they have (i)
compared the information contained in the Monthly Reports delivered during such
fiscal year, based on a sample size provided by the Collateral Agent, with the
information contained in the Loans, the Contracts and the Servicer's records and
computer systems for such period, and that, on the basis of such agreed upon
procedures, such firm is of the opinion that the information contained in the
Monthly Reports reconciles with the information contained in the Loans and the
Contracts and the Servicer's records and computer system and that the servicing
of the Loans and the Contracts has been conducted in compliance with this
Agreement, (ii) verified the Aggregate Outstanding Eligible Loan Balance as of
the end of each Collection Period during such fiscal year, and (iii) verified
that a sample of Loans and Contracts treated by the Servicer as Eligible Loans
and as Eligible Contracts, as applicable, in fact satisfied the


                                       58


<PAGE>

requirements of the definition thereof contained herein and (iv) conducted a
`negative confirmation' of a sample of the Loans and Contracts and verified that
the Servicer's records and computer system used in servicing the Loans and
Contracts contained correct information with regard to due dates and outstanding
balances, except, in each case for (a) such exceptions as such firm shall
believe to be immaterial (which exceptions need not be enumerated) and (b) such
other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement.

         Section 6.2.      Duties of the Servicer and Custodian.

         (a)      The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such
action as may be necessary or advisable to collect all amounts due under the
Loans and Contracts from time to time, all in accordance with applicable laws,
rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance
with the Collection Guidelines and Credit Guidelines, it being understood that
there shall be no recourse to the Servicer with regard to the Loans and
Contracts except as otherwise provided herein and in the other Transaction
Documents. In performing its duties as Servicer, the Servicer shall use the same
degree of care and attention it employs with respect to similar contracts and
loans which it services for itself or others. Each of the Borrower, the Deal
Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties hereby appoints as its agent
the Servicer, from time to time designated pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof, to
enforce its respective rights and interests in and under the Collateral. The
Servicer shall hold in trust for the Secured Parties all Records and any amounts
it receives in respect of the Collateral. In the event that a Successor Servicer
is appointed, the outgoing Servicer shall deliver to the Successor Servicer and
the Successor Servicer shall hold in trust for the Borrower and the Secured
Parties all records which evidence or relate to all or any part of the
Collateral.

         (b)      The Servicer, if other than CAC, shall as soon as practicable
upon demand, deliver to the Borrower all records in its possession which
evidence or relate to indebtedness of an Obligor which is not a Loan or a
Contract.

         (c)      (i) The Borrower, Deal Agent and Collateral Agent hereby
appoint CAC as custodian, and CAC hereby accepts such appointment, to hold and
maintain physical possession of the Contract Files and all Records (in such
capacity together with its successors in such capacity, the "Custodian"). The
Contract Files and Records are to be delivered to the Custodian or its
designated bailee by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Deal Agent and Collateral
Agent within two (2) Business Days preceding the Funding Date or within 2
Business Days after each Addition Date, as the case may be, with respect to each
Loan acquired on the Funding Date or Addition Date.

                  (ii)     The Custodian shall within 180 days after the Closing
         Date, review 100% of the Contract Files to verify the presence of the
         original retail installment contract and security agreement and/or
         installment loans and an original Certificate of Title or other
         evidence of lien with respect to each Contract, provided, however, that
         the Certificate of Title or other evidence of lien with respect to a
         Contract for which the related vehicle has been repossessed need not be
         verified. With respect to any Contract for which any of the foregoing
         documents have not been delivered to the Custodian within 180 days of
         the Closing Date or the Addition Date, as the case may be, or
         corrected, the Borrower shall remove or cause the removal of the
         related Contract from the Collateral.

                                       59


<PAGE>

                  (iii)    The Custodian agrees to maintain the Contract Files
         and Records which are delivered to it at the offices of the Custodian
         as shall from time to time be identified to the Deal Agent by written
         notice. Subject to the foregoing, CAC may temporarily move individual
         Contract Files or Records, or any portion thereof without notice as
         necessary to allow the Servicer to conduct collection and other
         servicing activities in accordance with its customary practices and
         procedures.

                  (iv)     The Custodian shall have and perform the following
         powers and duties:

                           (A)      hold the Contract Files and Records for the
benefit of the Secured Parties and maintain a current inventory thereof; and

                           (B)      carry out such policies and procedures in
accordance with its customary actions with respect to the handling and custody
of the Contract Files and Records so that the integrity and physical possession
of the Contract Files and Records will be maintained.

         In performing its duties as custodian, the Custodian agrees to act with
reasonable care, using that degree of skill and care that it exercises with
respect to similar Contracts or Loans owned or held by it.

                  (v)      CAC shall have the obligation (i) to physically
         segregate the Contract Files from the other custodial files it is
         holding for its own account or on behalf of any other Person and (ii)
         to physically mark the Contract Files to demonstrate the transfer of
         Contract Files and the Collateral Agent's security interest hereunder.

         (d) (i) If (A) an Unsatisfactory Audit occurs or (B) a Servicer
Termination Event or potential Servicer Termination Event occurs, the Deal Agent
shall have the right to terminate CAC as the Custodian hereunder and the Deal
Agent shall have the right to appoint a successor Custodian hereunder who shall
assume all the rights and obligations of the "Custodian" hereunder. On the
effective date of the termination of CAC as Servicer, CAC shall be released of
all of its obligations as Custodian arising on or after such date. The Contract
Files and Records shall be delivered by CAC to the successor Custodian, on or
before the date which is two (2) Business Days prior to such date.

                  (ii)     Upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event
         or potential Servicer Termination Event, the Servicer and the Borrower
         shall, at the request of the Deal Agent, in its sole discretion, take
         all steps necessary to cause the Certificate of Title or other evidence
         of ownership of each Financed Vehicle to be revised to name the
         Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties as lienholder. Any
         costs associated with such revision of the Certificate of Title
         ("Re-Liening Expenses") shall be paid by the Servicer and, and to the
         extent such costs are not paid by the Servicer such unpaid costs shall
         be recovered as described in Section 2.7 hereof. In no event shall the
         Collateral Agent be required to expend funds in connection with this
         Section 6.2(d).

                  (iii)    The Custodian shall provide to the Deal Agent access
         to the Contract Files and Records and all other documentation regarding
         the Contracts, Dealer Agreement and the Loans and the related Financed
         Vehicles in such cases where the Collateral Agent is required in
         connection with the enforcement of the rights or interests of the
         Secured

                                       60


<PAGE>


         Parties, or by applicable statutes or regulations to review such
         documentation, such access being afforded without charge.

         (e)      Two times per calendar year, at the expense of the Servicer,
the Deal Agent may review the Servicer's collection and administration of the
Loans, Dealer Agreements and Contracts in order to assess compliance by the
Servicer with the Servicer's written policies and procedures, as well as with
this Agreement and may conduct an audit of the Loans, Dealer Agreements and
Contracts and Contract Files in conjunction with such a review. On and after the
occurrence of a Termination Event or Servicer Termination Event, the Deal Agent
may conduct such reviews and audits without limitation, at the Servicer's
expense.

         Section 6.3.      Rights After Designation of Successor Servicer.  At
any time following the designation of a Successor Servicer pursuant to Section
6.12(a):

                  (i)      The Collateral Agent may intercept payments made by
         or on behalf of Obligors and direct that payment of all amounts payable
         under any Loan or Contract be made directly to the Collateral Agent or
         its designee; provided, that the Collateral Agent shall pay to any
         Dealer, to the extent to which such Dealer is entitled, all related
         Dealer Collections.

                  (ii)     The Borrower shall, at the Collateral Agent's request
         and at the Borrower's expense, give notice of the Collateral Agent's
         interest in the Loans and Contracts to each Obligor and direct that
         payments be made directly to the Collateral Agent or its designee.

                  (iii)    The Borrower shall, at the Collateral Agent's
         request, (A) assemble all of the records relating to the Collateral,
         including all Records with respect to the Loans and Contracts, and
         shall make the same available to the Collateral Agent at a place
         selected by the Collateral Agent or its designee, and (B) segregate all
         cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time
         constituting collections of Collateral in a manner acceptable to the
         Collateral Agent and shall, promptly upon receipt but in any event
         within two (2) Business Days, remit all such cash, checks and
         instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of
         transfer, to the Collateral Agent or its designee.

                  (iv)     The Borrower hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent
         to take any and all steps in the Borrower's name and on behalf of the
         Borrower necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Collateral
         Agent, to collect all amounts due under any and all of the Collateral
         with respect thereto, including, without limitation, endorsing the
         Borrower's name on checks and other instruments representing
         Collections and enforcing the Loans and Contracts.

         Section 6.4.      Responsibilities of the Borrower. Anything herein to
the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower shall (i) perform all of its
obligations under the Loans and Contracts to the same extent as if a security
interest in such Loans and Contracts had not been granted hereunder and the
exercise by the Collateral Agent of its rights hereunder shall not relieve the
Borrower from such obligations and (ii) pay when due any taxes, including
without

                                       61

limitation, any sales taxes payable in connection with the Loans or Contracts
and their creation and satisfaction. Neither the Collateral Agent, the Deal
Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability with respect
to any Loan, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the
obligations of the Borrower thereunder.

         Section 6.5.      Reports.

         (a)      Monthly Report.  On each Determination Date, the Servicer
shall deliver to the Deal Agent and the Collateral Agent a report in

the third Business Day prior to each Payment Date, information relating to the
amount of each obligation which comprises Carrying Costs for such Collection
Period. The Monthly Report shall specify whether a Termination Event or
Unmatured Termination Event has occurred with respect to the Collection Period
preceding such Determination Date. Upon receipt of the Monthly Report, the Deal
Agent and the Collateral Agent shall rely (and shall be fully protected in so
relying) on the information contained therein for the purposes of making
distributions and allocations as provided for herein. Each Monthly Report shall
be certified by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer.

         (b)      Credit Agreement.  The Servicer shall deliver to the Deal

steps necessary to remedy such event, and, if a Servicer Termination Event or
potential Servicer Termination Event occurred during such year and no notice

         Section 6.6.      Additional Representations and Warranties of CAC as
Servicer. CAC, in its capacity as Servicer, represents and warrants to the
Collateral Agent as of the Closing Date and the Funding Date, that the only
material servicing computer systems and related software utilized by the
Servicer to service the Loans and Contracts are: (i) provided by Ontario Systems
Corporation under an agreement (and related nonexclusive license) and related
letter agreements dated May 18, 2001 and (ii) the "loan servicing system"
software developed by CAC, which is owned by CAC. Should the Servicer or any of
its Affiliates develop or implement computer software for servicing that is
owned by or exclusively licensed to the Servicer or an Affiliate and utilize
such software in the servicing of the Loans and Contracts, the Collateral Agent
shall be entitled to compel a license or sublicense for the benefit of the
Collateral Agent or its designee of any such rights to the extent the Collateral
Agent deems reasonably necessary and appropriate to assure that it or a duly
appointed Successor Servicer would be able to continue to service the Loans and
Contracts should that be required in accordance with the terms hereof.

         Section 6.7.      Establishment of the Accounts.

         (a)      Establishment of the Collection Account and Reserve Account.
The Servicer shall cause to be established, on or before the Closing Date, and
maintained in the name of the Collateral Agent as agent for the Secured Parties,
with an office or branch of a depository institution or trust company (i) a
segregated corporate trust account entitled "Collection Account for WSI, as
agent for the Secured Parties" (the "Collection Account") and (ii) a segregated
corporate trust account entitled "Reserve Account for WSI" as agent for the
Secured Parties (the "Reserve Account"), in each case, over which the Collateral
Agent as agent for the Secured Parties shall have sole dominion and control and
from which neither the Originator, the Servicer nor the Borrower shall have any
right of withdrawal; provided, however, that at all times such depository
institution or trust company shall be a depository institution organized under
the laws of the United States of America or any one of the States thereof or the
District of Columbia (or any domestic branch of a foreign bank), (i) (A) that
has either (1) a long-term unsecured debt rating of AA- or better by S&P and Aa3
or better by Moody's or (2) a short-term unsecured debt rating or certificate of
deposit rating of A-1 or better by S&P or P-1 or better by Moody's, (B) the
parent corporation which has either (1) a long-term unsecured debt rating of AA-
or better by S&P and Aa3 or better by Moody's or (2) a short-term unsecured debt
rating or certificate of deposit rating of A-1 or better by S&P and P-1 or
better by Moody's or (C) is otherwise acceptable to the Deal Agent and (ii)
whose deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (any
such depository institution or trust company, a "Qualified Institution").

         (b)      Adjustments.  If (i) the Servicer makes a deposit into the
Collection Account in respect of a Collection of a Loan and such Collection was
received by the Servicer in the form of a check that is not honored for any
reason or (ii) the Servicer makes a mistake with respect to the amount of any
Collection and deposits an amount that is less than or more than the actual
amount of such Collection, the Servicer shall appropriately adjust the amount
subsequently deposited into the Collection Account to reflect such dishonored
check or mistake. Any payment in respect of which a dishonored check is received
shall be deemed not to have been paid.

         (c)      Eligible Investments. Funds on deposit in the Collection
Account and the Reserve Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments by or
at the written direction of the


                                       63



<PAGE>

Borrower, provided that if a Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event
shall have occurred, such investments shall be made as directed by the
Collateral Agent. Any such written directions shall specify the particular
investment to be made and shall certify that such investment is an Eligible
Investment and is permitted to be made under this Agreement. Funds on deposit in
the Collection Account and the Reserve Account shall be invested in Eligible
Investments that will mature so that such funds will be available no later than
the Business Day prior to the next Payment Date, except that in the case of
funds representing Collections with respect to a succeeding Collection Period,
such Eligible Investments may mature so that such funds will be available no
later than the Business Day prior to the Payment Date for such Collection
Period. No Eligible Investment may be liquidated or disposed of prior to its
maturity. All proceeds of any Eligible Investment shall be deposited in the
Collection Account or the Reserve Account, as applicable. Investments may be
made in either account on any date (provided such investments mature in
accordance herewith), only after giving effect to deposits to and withdrawals
from such account on such date. Realized losses, if any, on amounts invested in
Eligible Investments shall be charged against investment earnings on amounts on
deposit in the Collection Account or the Reserve Account, as applicable.

         Section 6.8.      Payment of Certain Expenses by Servicer. The Servicer
will be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its
activities under this Agreement, including fees and disbursements of independent
accountants, Taxes imposed on the Servicer, expenses incurred in connection with
payments and reports pursuant to this Agreement, and all other fees and expenses
not expressly stated under this Agreement for the account of the Borrower. The
Servicer will be required to pay all reasonable fees and expenses owing to any
bank or trust company in connection with the maintenance of the Collection
Account, the Reserve Account and the CAC Payment Account. The Servicer shall be
required to pay such expenses for its own account and shall not be entitled to
any payment therefor other than the Servicing Fee.

         Section 6.9.      Annual Independent Public Accountant's Servicing
Reports. The Servicer will cause a firm of nationally recognized independent
public accountants (who may also render other services to the Servicer) to
furnish to the Deal Agent, within 120 days following the end of each fiscal year
of the Servicer, commencing with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2002:
(i) a report relating to such fiscal year to the effect that (A) such firm has
reviewed certain documents and records relating to the servicing of the Loans
and Contracts included in the Collateral, and (B) based on such examination,
such firm is of the opinion that the Monthly Reports for such year were prepared
in compliance with this Agreement, except for such exceptions as it believes to

         Section 6.10. The Servicer Not to Resign. The Servicer shall not resign
from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it hereunder except upon the
Servicer's determination that (i) the performance of its duties hereunder is or
becomes impermissible under Applicable Law and (ii) there is no reasonable
action that the Servicer could take to make the performance of its duties
hereunder permissible under Applicable Law. Any such determination permitting
the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced as to clause (i) above by an
Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Deal Agent, the Collateral
Agent and the Backup Servicer. No such resignation shall become effective until
a Successor Servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of
the Servicer in accordance with Section 6.12.

         Section 6.11. Servicer Termination Events. If any one of the following
events (a "Servicer Termination Event") shall occur and be continuing:


         (a) any failure by the Servicer to make any payment, transfer or
deposit as required by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document;

         (b) any failure by the Servicer to give instructions or notice to the

         (c) any failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform
in any material respect any other covenants or agreements of the Servicer set
forth in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (other than as set
forth in clauses (a) or (b) above) to which the Servicer is a party, which
continues unremedied for a period of 10 days;

         (d) any representation, warranty or certification made by the Servicer
in any Transaction Document or in any certificate delivered pursuant to any
Transaction Document shall prove to have been incorrect when made;

         (e) an Insolvency Event shall occur with respect to the Servicer;

         (f) any delegation of the Servicer's duties that is not permitted by
Section 7.1;


         (g) any financial information related to the Collateral reasonably
requested by the Deal Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender as provided
herein is not reasonably provided as requested;

         (h) the rendering against the Servicer of one or more final judgments,
decrees or orders for the payment of money in excess of United States $5,000,000
in the aggregate, and the continuance of such judgment, decree or order

without a stay of execution;

         (i) the Servicer shall fail to pay any principal of or premium or
interest on any indebtedness an aggregate outstanding principal amount of
$5,000,000 or more ("Material Debt"), when the same becomes due and payable
(whether by scheduled maturity, required prepayment, acceleration, demand or
otherwise) and such failure shall continue after the


                                       65
<PAGE>


applicable grace period, if any, specified in the agreement or instrument
relating to such Material Debt; or any other default under any agreement or
instrument relating to any Material Debt or any other event, shall occur and
shall continue after the applicable grace period, if any, specified in such
agreement or instrument if the effect of such default or event is to accelerate,
or to permit the acceleration of, the maturity of such Material Debt; or any
such Material Debt shall be declared to be due and payable or required to be
prepaid (other than by a regularly scheduled required prepayment) prior to the
stated maturity thereof; or

         (j) any change in the control of the Servicer that takes the form of
either a merger or consolidation in which the Servicer is not the surviving
entity;

then notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as any such
Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, within any applicable
cure period prior to the date of the Servicer Termination Notice (defined
below), the Deal Agent, by written notice to the Servicer (with a copy to the
Backup Servicer) (a "Servicer Termination Notice"), may terminate all of the
rights and obligations of the Servicer as Servicer under this.

         Section 6.12. Appointment of Successor Servicer.

         (a) On and after the receipt by the Servicer of a Servicer Termination
Notice pursuant to Section 6.11 or Section 10.2, the Servicer shall continue to
perform all servicing functions under this Agreement until the date specified in
the Servicer Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Deal Agent in
writing or, if no such date is specified in such Servicer Termination Notice or
otherwise specified by the Deal Agent, until a date mutually agreed upon by the
Servicer and the Deal Agent. The Deal Agent may at the time described in the
immediately preceding sentence in its sole discretion, appoint the Backup
Servicer as the Servicer hereunder, and the Backup Servicer shall on such date
assume all obligations of the Servicer hereunder (except as specifically set
forth herein or in the Backup Servicing Agreement), and all authority and power
of the Servicer under this shall pass to and be vested in the Backup Servicer.
In the event that the Deal Agent does not so appoint the Backup Servicer, there
is no Backup Servicer or the Backup Servicer is unable to assume such
obligations on such date, the Deal Agent shall as promptly as possible appoint a
successor servicer (the "Successor Servicer"), and such Successor Servicer shall
accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Deal
Agent. In the event that a Successor Servicer has not accepted its appointment
at the time when the Servicer ceases to act as Servicer, the Deal Agent shall
petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established financial
institution having a net worth of not less than United States $50,000,000 and
whose regular business includes the servicing of Loans as the Successor Servicer
hereunder.

         (b) Upon its appointment, the Backup Servicer (except as specifically
set forth herein or in the Backup Servicing Agreement and subject to Section
6.12(a)) or the Successor Servicer, as applicable, shall be the successor in all
respects to the Servicer with respect to servicing functions under this
Agreement and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions
hereof, and all references in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents
to the Servicer shall be deemed to refer to the Backup Servicer or the Successor
Servicer, as applicable.

         (c) All authority and power granted to the Servicer under this
Agreement shall automatically cease and terminate upon termination of this
Agreement and shall pass to and be vested in the Borrower and, without
limitation, the Borrower is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all
documents and other instruments, and to do and accomplish all other acts or
things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such transfer of
servicing rights. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Borrower in
effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer to
conduct servicing on the Loans and the Contracts.

         (d) Upon the Backup Servicer receiving notice that it is required to
serve as the Servicer hereunder pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section 6.12, the Backup Servicer will promptly begin the transition to its role
as Servicer.

         Section 6.13. Responsibilities of the Borrower. Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower shall (i) perform all of its obligations
under the Loans to the same extent as if a security interest in such Loans had
not been granted hereunder and (ii) pay when due, from funds available to the
Borrower under Section 2.7 hereto, any taxes. Neither the Deal Agent, Collateral
Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability with respect
to any Loan, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the
obligations of the Borrower thereunder.

         Section 6.14. Segregated Payment Account. Upon the occurrence of a
Servicer Termination Event, a potential Servicer Termination Event or an
Unsatisfactory Audit, the Deal Agent shall have the right to require the
Borrower and the Servicer (i) to establish a segregated payment trust in the
name of the Collateral Agent for Collections related to the Collateral and (ii)
to direct all Obligors to make payments into such account.

reasonable action that the Backup Servicer could take to make the performance of
its duties hereunder permissible under Applicable Law. Any such determination
permitting the resignation of the Backup Servicer shall be evidenced as to

amounts of their respective participations. With respect to any participation
described in this Section 13.1, the participant's rights as set forth in the
agreement between such participant and the applicable Investor to agree to or to
restrict such Investor's ability to agree to any modification, waiver or release
of any of the terms of this Agreement or to exercise or refrain from exercising
any powers or rights that such Investor may have under or in respect of this
Agreement shall be limited to the right to consent to any of the matters set
forth in Section 14.1 of this Agreement.

         (f) Each Investor may, in connection with any assignment or
participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section
13.1, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or
participant any information relating to the Borrower or VFCC furnished to such
Investor by or on behalf of the Borrower or VFCC.

         (g) In the event (i) an Investor ceases to qualify as an Eligible
Assignee, or (ii) an Investor makes demand for compensation pursuant to Section
2.13 or Section 2.14, VFCC may, and, upon the direction of the Borrower and
prior to the occurrence of a Termination Event, shall, in any such case,
notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, replace such Investor with
an Eligible Assignee by giving three (3) Business Days' prior written notice to
such Investor. In the event of the replacement of an Investor, such Investor
agrees (i) to assign all of its rights and obligations hereunder to an Eligible
Assignee selected by VFCC upon payment to such Investor of the amount of such
Investor's Capital together with any accrued and unpaid Yield thereon, all
accrued and unpaid commitment fees owing to such Investor and all other amounts
owing to such Investor hereunder and (ii) to execute and deliver an Assignment
and Acceptance and such other documents evidencing such assignment as shall be
necessary or reasonably requested by VFCC or the Deal Agent. In the event that
any Investor ceases to





                                       82
<PAGE>

qualify as an Eligible Assignee, such affected Investor agrees (1) to give the
Deal Agent, the Borrower and VFCC prompt written notice thereof and (2) subject
to the following proviso, to reimburse the Deal Agent, the Liquidity Agent, the
Borrower, VFCC and the relevant assignee for all fees, costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses
of counsel for each of the Deal Agent, the Liquidity Agent, the Collateral
Agent, the Borrower and VFCC and such assignee) incurred by the Deal Agent, the
Liquidity Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Borrower, VFCC and such assignee,
respectively, in connection with any assignment made pursuant to this Section
13.1(g) by such affected Investor; provided, however, that such affected
Investor's liability for such costs, fees and expenses shall be limited to the
amount of any up-front fees paid to such affected Investor at the time that it
became a party to this Agreement.

         (h) Nothing herein shall prohibit any Investor from pledging or
assigning as collateral any of its rights under this Agreement to any Federal
Reserve Bank in accordance with Applicable Law and any such pledge or collateral
assignment may be made without compliance with Section 13.1(a) or Section
13.1(b).

         (i) In the event any Investor causes increased costs, expenses or taxes
to be incurred by the Deal Agent, Liquidity Agent, the Collateral Agent or VFCC
in connection with the assignment or participation of such Investor's rights and
obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee then such Investor
agrees that it will make reasonable efforts to assign such increased costs,
expenses or taxes to such Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement.

         (j) VFCC may at any time assign, or grant a security interest in or
sell a participation interest in the Capital and the Collateral (or portion
thereof) to any Person. The parties to any such assignment, grant or sale of
participation interest, shall execute and deliver to the Deal Agent, for its
acceptance and recording in its books and records, such agreement or document as
may be satisfactory to such parties and the Deal Agent.

or otherwise, has payment made to it with respect to any portion of the
Aggregate Unpaids owing to such Secured Party (other than payments received
pursuant to Section 11.1 in a greater proportion than that received by any other
Secured Party), such Secured Party agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase for
cash without recourse or warranty a portion of the Aggregate Unpaids held by the
other Secured Parties so that after such purchase each Secured Party will hold
its ratable proportion of the Aggregate Unpaids; provided, however, that if all
or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Secured
Party, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the
extent of such recovery, but without interest.

         Section 14.4 No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of the Deal
Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Backup Servicer or a Secured Party to exercise,
and no delay in exercising, any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a

<PAGE>

Party as contained in this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or
document entered into by it pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall be
had against any administrator of such Secured Party or any incorporator,
affiliate, stockholder, officer, employee or director of such Secured Party or
of any such administrator, as such, by the enforcement of any assessment or by
any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise; it
being expressly agreed and understood that the agreements of such Secured Party
contained in this Agreement and all of the other agreements, instruments and
documents entered into by it pursuant hereto or in connection herewith are, in
each case, solely the corporate obligations of such Secured Party, and that no
personal liability whatsoever shall attach to or be incurred by any

Agreement. The provisions of this Section 14.11 shall survive the termination of

         (b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, VFCC
shall not have any obligation to pay any amount required to be paid by it
hereunder in excess of any amount available to VFCC after paying or making
provision for the payment of its Commercial Paper Notes. All payment obligations

amounts necessary to pay its Commercial Paper Notes; and each of the other
parties hereto agrees that it will not have a claim under Section 101(5) of the
Bankruptcy Code if and to the extent that any such payment obligation owed to it
by VFCC exceeds the amount available to VFCC to pay such amount after paying or
making provision for the payment of its Commercial Paper Notes.

         Section 14.12. Protection of Right, Title and Interest in Assets;

and/or all financing statements and continuation statements and any other
necessary documents covering the right, title and interest of the Deal Agent as
agent for the Secured Parties and of the Secured Parties to the Assets to be
promptly recorded, registered and filed, and at all times to be kept recorded,
registered and filed, all in such manner and in such places as may be required
by law fully to preserve and protect the right, title and interest of the Deal
Agent as agent for the Secured Parties hereunder to all property comprising the
Assets. The Servicer shall deliver to the Deal Agent file-stamped copies of, or
filing receipts for, any document recorded, registered or filed as provided
above, as soon as available following such recording, registration or filing.
The Borrower shall cooperate fully with the Servicer in connection with the
obligations set forth above and will execute any and all documents reasonably
required to fulfill the intent of this Section 14.12(a).




                                       87
<PAGE>

         (b) The Borrower agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will
promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents, and take all
actions, that the Deal Agent may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect
or more fully evidence the Funding hereunder, or to enable the Deal Agent or the
Secured Parties to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder or
under any Transaction Document.

         (c) If the Borrower or the Servicer fails to perform any of its
obligations hereunder, the Deal Agent or any Secured Party may (but shall not be
required to) perform, or cause performance of, such obligation; and the Deal
Agent's or such Secured Party's costs and expenses incurred in connection
therewith shall be payable by the Borrower (if the Servicer that fails to so
perform is the Borrower or an Affiliate thereof) as provided in Article XI, as
applicable. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Deal Agent and appoints the
Deal Agent as its attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of the Borrower (i) to
execute on behalf of the Borrower as debtor and to file financing statements
necessary or desirable in the Deal Agent's sole discretion to perfect and to
maintain the perfection and priority of the interest of the Secured Parties in
the Assets and (ii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this
Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Assets as a financing
statement in such offices as the Deal Agent in its sole discretion deems
necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of
the interests of the Secured Parties in the Assets. This appointment is coupled
with an interest and is irrevocable.

         (d) Without limited the generality of the foregoing, Borrower will, not
earlier than six (6) months and not later than three (3) months prior to the
fifth anniversary of the date of filing of the financing statement referred to
in Section 3.1 or any other financing statement filed pursuant to this Agreement
or in connection with the Funding hereunder, unless the Collection Date shall
have occurred:

                  (i) execute and deliver and file or cause to be filed an
         appropriate continuation statement with respect to such financing
         statement; and

                  (ii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Deal Agent an
         opinion of the counsel for Borrower, in form and substance reasonably
         satisfactory to the Deal Agent, confirming and updating the opinion
         delivered pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to perfection and
         priority and otherwise to the effect that the grant of the security
         interest in the Collateral hereunder continues to be an enforceable and
         perfected first priority security interest, subject to no other Liens
         of record except as provided herein or otherwise permitted hereunder,
         which opinion may contain usual and customary assumptions, limitations
         and exceptions.

         Section 14.13 Confidentiality.

         (a) Each of the Deal Agent, the Secured Parties, the Liquidity Agent,
the Servicer, the Collateral Agent, the Backup Servicer and the Borrower shall

confidentiality of the Agreement and all information with respect to the other
parties, including all information regarding the business of the Borrower and
the Servicer hereto and their respective businesses obtained by it or them in
connection with the structuring, negotiating and execution of the transactions
contemplated herein, except that





                                       88

to its external accountants, attorneys, investors, potential investors and the
agents of such Persons ("Excepted Persons"), provided, however, that each
Excepted Person shall, as a condition to any such disclosure, agree for the
benefit of the Deal Agent, the Secured Parties, the Liquidity Agent, the
Servicer, the Collateral Agent, the Backup Servicer and the Borrower that such
information shall be used solely in connection with such Excepted Person's
evaluation of, or relationship with, the Borrower and its affiliates, (ii)
disclose the existence of the Agreement, but not the financial terms thereof,
(iii) disclose such information as is required by Applicable Law and (iv)
disclose the Agreement and such information in any suit, action, proceeding or
investigation (whether in law or in equity or pursuant to arbitration) involving

defending itself, reducing its liability, or protecting or exercising any of its
claims, rights, remedies, or interests under or in connection with any of the
Transaction Documents or any Hedging Agreement. It is understood that the
financial terms that may not be disclosed except in compliance with this Section
14.13(a) include, without limitation, all fees and other pricing terms, and all
Termination Events, Servicer Termination Events, and priority of payment
provisions

         (b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each of the
Borrower and the Servicer hereby consents to the disclosure of any nonpublic
information with respect to it (i) to the Deal Agent, the Liquidity Agent, the
Collateral Agent, the Backup Servicer or the Secured Parties by each other, (ii)
by the Deal Agent or the Lender to any prospective or actual assignee or

Liquidity Agent or a Lender to any Rating Agency, commercial paper dealer or
provider of a surety, guaranty or credit or liquidity enhancement to a Lender
and to any officers, directors, employees, outside accountants and attorneys of
any of the foregoing, provided each such Person is informed of the confidential
nature of such information. In addition, the Secured Parties, the Liquidity
Agent and the Deal Agent may disclose any such nonpublic information as required
pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, direction, request or order of any
judicial, administrative or regulatory authority or proceedings (whether or not
having the force or effect of law).

         (c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing
shall not be construed to prohibit (i) disclosure of any and all information
that is or becomes publicly known, (ii) disclosure of any and all information
(A) if required to do so by any applicable statute, law, rule or regulation, (B)
to any government agency or regulatory body having or claiming authority to
regulate or oversee any respects of the Collateral Agent's or Backup Servicer's

investigative demand or similar demand or request of any court, regulatory
authority, arbitrator or arbitration to which the Collateral Agent or Backup
Servicer or an affiliate or an officer, director, employer or shareholder
thereof is a party, (D) in any preliminary or final offering circular,
registration statement or contract or other document pertaining to the
transactions contemplated herein approved in advance by the Borrower or Servicer
or (E) to any affiliate, independent or internal auditor, agent, employee or
