               -----------------------
to this Agreement is true and correct in all material respects as of the close

Seller to be adverse to the Noteholders, the Certificateholders or the Insurer

          (g)  Compliance With Law.  Each Receivable complied at the time it was
               -------------------
originated or made and at the execution of this Agreement complies  in all

          (h)  Binding Obligation.  Each Receivable represents the legal, valid
               ------------------
and binding payment obligation in writing of the Obligor thereunder, enforceable
by the holder thereof in accordance with its terms except as such enforceability
may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent

each Receivable had full legal capacity to execute and deliver such Receivable
and all other documents related thereto and to grant the security interest
purported to be granted thereby.

          (i)  No Government Obligor.  None of the Receivables are due from the
               ---------------------

favor of PeopleFirst as secured party or all necessary and appropriate actions
have been commenced that will result in the valid perfection of a first priority
security interest in the Financed Vehicle in favor of PeopleFirst as secured
party within 120 days of the origination of each such Receivable.  Immediately
after the assignment and transfer thereof to the Trust, although the Lien
Certificate (or such other document kept by the Servicer consistent with its
customary servicing procedures) will not indicate the Trust or the Owner Trustee
as secured party, each Receivable will be

                                       20

     SECTION 3.2.   Repurchase upon Breach.  (a)  The Seller, the Servicer, the
                    ----------------------
Insurer or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, shall inform the other
parties to this Agreement and the Insurer promptly, in writing, upon the
discovery of any breach of the Seller's representations and warranties made
pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof.  As of the last day of the second (or, if the
Seller so elects, the first) month following the discovery by the Seller or
receipt by the Seller of notice from any of the Servicer, the Insurer or the
Indenture Trustee of such breach, unless such breach is cured by such date, the
Seller shall repurchase from the Trust any Receivable in which the interests of
the Noteholders, the Certificateholders or the Insurer are materially and
adversely affected by any such breach as of such date.  The "second month" shall
mean the month following the month in which discovery occurs or notice is given,
and the "first month" shall mean the month in which discovery occurs or notice
is given.  In consideration of and simultaneously with the repurchase of a such
Receivable, the Seller shall remit to the Indenture Trustee for deposit to the
Collection Account the Purchase Amount in the manner specified in Section 5.5
and the Issuer shall execute such assignments and other documents reasonably
requested by such person in order to effect such repurchase.  The sole remedy of
the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders, the
Certificateholders or the Insurer with respect to a breach of representations
and warranties made pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof shall be the repurchase of
Receivables pursuant to this Section.  Subject to the conditions contained
herein, neither the Owner Trustee, the Issuer nor the Indenture Trustee shall
have a duty to conduct any affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any
conditions requiring the repurchase of any Receivable pursuant to this Section.

          (b)  Pursuant to (i) Section 2.3 hereof, the Transferor conveyed to
the Depositor and (ii) Section 2.4 hereof, the Depositor conveyed to the Trust,
all of the such party's right, title and interest in its rights and benefits,

repurchase obligations of the Seller hereunder. Each of the Seller and the
Transferor hereby represents and warrants to the Trust that such assignment is
valid, enforceable and effective to permit the Trust to enforce such obligations
of the Seller hereunder.

     SECTION 3.3.   Custody of Receivables Files.  To assure uniform quality in
                    ----------------------------
servicing the Receivables and to reduce administrative costs, a custodian shall

exclusively as the agent for the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the
Noteholders, and the Insurer until the Notes are paid in full and thereafter, on
behalf of the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders as custodian of
certain documents or instruments which shall be delivered to the Custodian, as

     SECTION 3.5.   Retention and Termination of Servicer. The Servicer hereby
                    -------------------------------------
covenants and agrees to act as such under this Agreement for an initial term,
commencing on the Closing Date and ending on September 30, 2000, which term
shall be extendible by the Insurer (provided no Insurer Default has occurred and
is continuing) for successive quarterly terms ending on each successive December
31, March 31, June 30 and September 30 (or, pursuant to revocable written
standing instructions from time to time to the Servicer and the Indenture
Trustee for any specific number of terms greater than one), until the Notes are
paid in full.  Each such notice (including each notice pursuant to standing
instructions, which shall be deemed delivered at the end of successive quarterly
terms for so long as such instructions are in effect) (a "Servicer Extension
Notice") shall be delivered by the Insurer to the Indenture Trustee and the
Servicer.  The Servicer hereby agrees that, as of the date hereof and upon its
receipt of any such Servicer Extension Notice, the Servicer shall become bound,
for the initial term beginning on the Closing Date and for the duration of the
term covered by Servicer Extension Notice, to continue as Servicer subject to
and

                                       23
<PAGE>

in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement. Until such time as an
Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee
agrees that if as of the fifteenth day prior to the last day of any term of the
Servicer, the Indenture Trustee shall not have received any Servicer Extension
Notice from the Insurer, the Indenture Trustee shall, within five (5) days
after, give written notice of such non-receipt to the Insurer and the Servicer
and the Servicer's term shall not be extended unless a Servicer Extension Notice
is received on or before the last day of such term. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event an Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Servicer Extension Notice shall be deemed to have been delivered as of the last
day of the current term of the Servicer and extended until the next quarterly
period.

                                  ARTICLE IV

                  Administration and Servicing of Receivables
                  -------------------------------------------

     SECTION 4.1.   Appointment and Duties of Servicer.  (a)  The managing,
                    ----------------------------------
servicing, administering and making collections on the Contracts shall be
conducted by the Person so designated from time to time as Servicer in
accordance with this Agreement.  PeopleFirst is hereby initially designated as,
and hereby agrees to perform, the duties and obligations of the Servicer
pursuant to the terms hereof and the other Basic Documents.  Subject to the
resignation of PeopleFirst as Servicer pursuant to Section 7.5 or the
termination of PeopleFirst as Servicer pursuant to Section 8.1 and, in either
case, the assumption by the Backup Servicer, or the designation of a successor
Servicer hereunder as the case may be, of the Servicer's duties and
responsibilities in accordance with Section 8A.7, PeopleFirst shall continue to
manage, service, administer and collect on the Receivables pursuant to this
Agreement, unless and until expressly agreed otherwise by the Seller, the Issuer
and the Controlling Party.  The Servicer, as agent for the Issuer and the
Insurer (to the extent provided herein), shall manage, service, administer and
make collections on the Receivables (other than Purchased Receivables) in
accordance with all applicable federal, state or local laws and regulations and
with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that the Servicer
exercises with respect to all comparable automotive receivables that it services
for itself or others, and in any event with no less degree of skill and care
than would be exercised by a prudent servicer of motor vehicle loans (the
"Servicing Standard"), except that the Servicer shall not be obligated, and does
not currently intend, to (i) obtain force-placed insurance concerning any
Financed Vehicle or (ii) monitor any Obligor's maintenance of such insurance.
The Servicer's duties shall include collection and posting of all payments,
responding to inquiries of Obligors on such Receivables, investigating
delinquencies, sending payment statements to Obligors, accounting for
collections and furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Owner Trustee,
Indenture Trustee and the Insurer with respect to distributions, reporting tax
information, if any, to Obligors and delivering Receivable Files to the
Custodian.  Subject to the provisions of Section 4.2, the Servicer shall follow
its customary standards, policies and procedures in performing its duties as
Servicer.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer is
authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the
Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer, the
Certificateholders and the Noteholders or any of them, any and all instruments
of satisfaction or cancellation, or partial or full release or discharge, and
all other comparable instruments without recourse to the Trust, with respect to
such Receivables or to the Financed Vehicles securing such Receivables.  If the
Servicer shall commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Receivable, the Trust
(in the case of a Receivable other than a Purchased Receivable) shall thereupon
be deemed to have automatically assigned, solely for the purpose of collection,
such Receivable to the Servicer.  If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding
it shall be held that the Servicer may not enforce a Receivable on the ground
that it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce
such Receivable, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee shall, at the
Servicer's expense and direction, take steps to enforce such Receivable,
including bringing suit in its name or the name of the Trust, the Owner Trustee,
the Certificateholders, Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders.  The Owner Trustee
and the Insurer shall upon the written request of the Servicer furnish the
Servicer with any powers

                                       24
<PAGE>

of attorney and other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate (as
certified to the Owner Trustee and/or the Insurer by the Servicer) to enable the
Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder.

          (b)  PeopleFirst hereby agrees that upon the designation of a
successor Servicer hereunder or the assumption by the Backup Servicer of the
Servicer's duties and responsibilities in accordance with Section 8A.7,
PeopleFirst will terminate its activities as Servicer hereunder in accordance
with Section 8.1 and, in any case, in a manner which the Indenture Trustee
reasonably determines will facilitate the transition of the performance of such
activities to such successor Servicer or the Backup Servicer, as the case may
be, and PeopleFirst shall cooperate with and assist such successor Servicer or
the Backup Servicer, as the case may be.

     SECTION 4.2.   Collection and Allocation of Receivable Payments.  (a)  The
                    ------------------------------------------------
Servicer shall collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of
the Receivables as and when the same shall become due and shall follow such
collection procedures as is consistent with the Servicing Standard.  The
Servicer shall allocate collections between principal and interest in accordance
with its customary servicing procedures.

          (b)  The Servicer may at any time agree to a modification, amendment
or extension of a Receivable in order to (i) change the Obligor's regular due
date to a date within the Collection Period in which such due date occurs, (ii)
reamortize the scheduled payments on the Receivable following a partial
prepayment of principal and (iii) grant extensions of a Receivable, provided
that the Servicer shall not be permitted to extend the monthly payments on a
Receivable more than two times in any twelve-month period, and provided further
that the aggregate period of all extensions on a Receivable shall not exceed six
months. The Servicer may in its discretion waive any late payment charge or any
other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing a
Receivable.

          (c)  The Servicer may grant payment extensions or deferrals on, or
other modifications or amendments to, a Receivable (in addition to those
modifications permitted by Section 4.2(a)) in accordance with its customary
procedures if the Servicer believes in good faith that such extension, deferral,
modification or amendment is necessary to avoid a default on such Receivable,
will maximize the amount to be received by the Trust with respect to such
Receivable, and is otherwise in the best interests of the Trust; provided
                                                                 --------
however, that:
-------

               (i)    In no event may a Receivable be extended beyond the
          Collection Period immediately preceding the Final Scheduled
          Distribution Date;

               (ii)   So long as an Insurer Default shall not have occurred and
          be continuing, the Servicer shall not amend or modify a Receivable
          (except as provided in Section 4.2(b)) without the consent of the
          Insurer;

               (iii)  So long as an Insurer Default shall not have occurred and
          be continuing, the Aggregate Principal Balance of Receivables which
          have been extended during any Collection Period (A) shall not exceed
          1.0% of the Aggregate Principal Balance of Receivables during such
          Collection Period (computed as of the Accounting Date immediately
          prior to the first date of the related Collection Period) and (B)
          shall not exceed 1.0% of the average of the Aggregate Principal
          Balance of Receivables for such Collection Period and the three prior
          Collection Periods (computed as of the Determination Date immediately
          prior to the first day of the related Collection Period);

                                       25
<PAGE>

               (iv)   So long as an Insurer Default shall not have occurred and
          be continuing, the Aggregate Principal Balance of Receivables for
          which payment deferrals have been granted during any Collection Period
          (A) shall not exceed 1.0% of the Aggregate Principal Balance of
          Receivables during such Collection Period (computed as of the
          Accounting Date immediately prior to the first day of the related
          Collection Period) and (B) shall not exceed 1.0% of the average of the
          Aggregate Principal Balance of Receivables for such Collection Period
          and the three prior Collection Periods (computed as of the
          Determination Date immediately prior to the first day of the related
          Collection Period);

               (v)    No such extension, modification or amendment shall be
          granted if such action, when aggregated with all previous extensions,
          modifications and amendments of Receivables, would have the effect of
          causing any Notes to be deemed to have been exchanged for other Notes
          within the meaning of Section 1001 of the Internal Revenue Code of
          1986, as amended, or any proposed, temporary or final Treasury
          Regulations issued thereunder; and

               (vi)   If an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be
          continuing, the Servicer may not extend or modify any Receivable
          (other than as permitted by Section 4.2(b)).

          (d)  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the
Servicer may refinance any Receivable by accepting a new promissory note from

in which the Financed Vehicle shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not
expend funds in connection with the repair or the repossession of such Financed
Vehicle unless it shall determine in its reasonable discretion that such repair
and/or repossession will increase the Net Liquidation Proceeds by an amount
greater than the amount of such expenses.

the Controlling Party, be necessary to perfect or reperfect the security
interests in the Financed Vehicles securing the Receivables in the name of the
Indenture Trustee by amending the title documents of such Financed Vehicles or
by such other reasonable means as may, in the opinion of counsel to the
Controlling Party, be necessary or prudent.  The Servicer hereby agrees to pay

necessary therefor.

the other parties and the Indenture Trustee promptly, in writing, upon the
discovery of any breach of the Servicer's covenants pursuant to Section 4.2(b),
4.5 or 4.6, or of any breach of the Servicer's representations and warranties
made pursuant to Section 7.1; provided, however, that the failure to give any
                              --------  -------
such notice shall not affect the obligation of the Servicer under this Section
4.7.  As of the last day of the first month following the discovery by the
Servicer or receipt by the Servicer of notice from any of the Seller, the
Servicer, the Owner Trustee, Insurer or the Indenture Trustee of such breach,
unless such breach is cured by such date, the Servicer shall (i) purchase any
Receivable in which the interests of the Insurer, the Noteholders or the
Certificateholders are materially and adversely affected by such breach as of

provided herein.  The Servicer, in its discretion at its election, may defer
receipt of all or any portion of the Servicing Fee for any Collection Period to
and until a later Collection Period for any reason, including in order to avoid
a shortfall in any payments due on any Notes or Certificates.  Any such deferred

demonstrated by evidence satisfactory to the Servicer in its reasonable
judgment.  Access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable
request and during the normal business hours at the respective offices of the
Servicer.  Nothing in this Section shall affect the obligation of the Servicer

consent shall not be required for appointment of subservicers or agents in
connection with repossession of any Financed Vehicle. The fees and expenses of
the subservicer shall be as agreed between the Servicer and its subservicer from
time to time and none of the Transferor, the Depositor, the Issuer, the

          the benefit of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders, the
          Owner Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, and the Insurer,

          (b)  Funds on deposit in the Collection Account and the Note
Distribution Account (the "Trust Accounts") and the Certificate Distribution
Account shall be invested by the Indenture Trustee (or any custodian with
respect to funds on deposit in any such account) in Eligible Investments
selected in writing by the Servicer (pursuant to standing instructions or
otherwise); provided, however, it is understood and agreed that the Indenture
Trustee shall not be liable for any loss arising from such investment in
Eligible Investments.  If the Servicer does not provide the Indenture Trustee,
with written direction as to the Eligible Investments, the funds in the Trust
Accounts and Certificate Distribution Account shall be invested in the
investments specified in clause (1) of the definition of Eligible Investments.
All such Eligible Investments shall be held by or on behalf of the Indenture
Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders and/or the Certificateholders, as
applicable.  Other than as permitted by the Rating Agencies and the Insurer,
funds on deposit in the Collection Account, the Note Distribution Account and
the Certificate Distribution Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments
that will mature so that such funds will be available at the close of business
on the Business Day immediately preceding the following Payment Date.  Funds
deposited in a Trust Account or the Certificate Distribution Account on the day
immediately preceding a Payment Date upon the maturity of any Eligible

interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Trust Accounts and in
all proceeds thereof (excluding all Investment Earnings on the Collection
Account) and all such funds, investments, proceeds and income shall be part of
the Owner Trust Estate.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trust Accounts
shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee.  If, at
any time, any of the Trust Accounts or the Certificate Distribution Account
ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Indenture Trustee (or the Servicer
on its behalf) shall within ten (10) Business Days (or such longer period as to
which each Rating Agency and the Insurer may consent) establish a new Trust
Account or a new Certificate Distribution Account, as applicable, as an Eligible
Deposit Account and shall transfer any cash and/or any investments to such new
Trust Account or a new Certificate Distribution Account, as applicable.  In
connection with the foregoing, the Servicer agrees that, in the event that any
of the Trust Accounts are not accounts with the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer
shall notify the Indenture Trustee in writing promptly upon any of such Trust
Accounts ceasing to be an Eligible Deposit Account.

               (ii) With respect to the Trust Account Property, the Indenture
          Trustee, and with respect to the Certificate Distribution Account, the
          Owner Trustee agrees, by its respective acceptance hereof, that:

                    (A)  any Trust Account Property or any property in the
               Certificate Distribution Account that is held in deposit accounts
               shall be held solely in the Eligible Deposit Accounts subject to
               the penultimate sentence of Section 5.1(c)(i); and, except as
               otherwise provided herein, each such Eligible Deposit Account
               shall be subject to the exclusive custody and control of the
               Indenture Trustee with respect to the Trust Accounts and the
               Owner Trustee (and Certificate Paying Agent) with respect to the
               Certificate Distribution Account, and the Indenture Trustee or
               the Owner Trustee (and Certificate Paying Agent), as applicable,
               shall have sole signature authority with respect thereto;

                    (B)  any Trust Account Property that constitutes Physical
               Property shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee in
               accordance with paragraph (a) of the definition of "Delivery" and
               shall be held, pending maturity or disposition, solely by the
               Indenture Trustee or a securities intermediary (as such term is
               defined in Section 8-102(a)(14) of the UCC) acting for the
               Indenture Trustee;

               security" under Article 8 of the UCC shall be delivered to the
               Indenture Trustee in accordance with paragraph (b) of the
               definition of "Delivery" and shall be held, pending maturity or

               intermediary (as such term is defined in Section 8-102(a)(14) of
               the UCC) acting for the Indenture Trustee;

               security held through the Federal Reserve System pursuant to
               Federal book-entry regulations shall be delivered in accordance
               with paragraph (d) of the definition of "Delivery" and shall be
               maintained by the Indenture Trustee, pending maturity or
               disposition, through continued book-entry registration of such
               Trust Account Property in the name of the Indenture Trustee or a
               securities intermediary (as such term is defined in Section 8-
               102(a)(14) of the UCC) acting for the Indenture Trustee's;

                    (E)  any Trust Account Property that is an "uncertificated
               security" under Article 8 of the UCC and that is not governed by
               clause (D) above shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee in
               accordance with paragraph (c) of the definition of "Delivery" and

               Trustee's (or its nominee's) ownership of such security; and

                    (F)  any Trust Account Property held through a securities
               intermediary (as such term is defined in Section 8-102(a)(14) of
               the UCC) shall be held in a securities account (as such term is
               defined in Section 8-501(a) of the UCC) that is established by
               such securities intermediary in the name of the Indenture Trustee
               for which the Indenture Trustee is the sole entitlement holder
               (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(7) of the UCC).

     SECTION 5.2.   Collections.  (a)  The Servicer shall remit within two (2)
                    -----------
Business Days of receipt thereof to the Collection Account all payments by or on
behalf of the Obligors with respect to the Receivables (other than Purchased
Receivables) and all Liquidation Proceeds, both as collected during the
Collection Period less any payments owed thereon to the Servicer. For purposes
of this Article V, the phrase "payments by or on behalf of Obligors" shall mean

          (b)  The Servicer will be entitled to be reimbursed from amounts on
deposit in the Collection Account with respect to a Collection Period for
amounts previously deposited in the Collection Account but later determined by
the Servicer to have resulted from mistaken deposits or postings or checks
returned for insufficient funds.  The amount to be reimbursed hereunder shall be
paid to the Servicer on the related Payment Date pursuant to Section 5.6(a) upon
certification by the Servicer of such amounts and the provision of such
information to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer as may be necessary in the

          (c)  If at any time the percentage of Obligors using the automated

numerator of which is the aggregate Principal Balance of such Obligors'
Receivables calculated as of the last day of the immediately preceding
Collection Period and the denominator of which is the Aggregate Principal
Balance calculated as of the last day of the immediately preceding Collection

                                  ----------

     SECTION 5A.1  Claims Under Policy.
                   -------------------

          (a)  In the event that the Indenture Trustee has delivered a
Deficiency Notice with respect to any Determination Date, if the Policy Claim
Amount for the related Payment Date is greater than zero, the Indenture Trustee
shall furnish to the Insurer (with a copy to the Servicer) no later than 12:00
noon New York City time on the related Deficiency Claim Date a completed Notice
of Claim in the amount of the Policy Claim Amount. Amounts paid by the Insurer
under the Policy shall be deposited by the Indenture Trustee into the Note
Distribution Account on the Business Day immediately preceding the Payment Date
for payment to Noteholders on the related Payment Date. The "Policy Claim
Amount" for any Payment Date shall equal the lesser of (i) the sum of the
Noteholders' Interest Distributable Amount and the Noteholders' Principal
Distributable Amount for such Payment Date and (ii) the excess, if any, of the
amount required to be distributed pursuant to clauses (i) through (iv) of
Section 5.6(a) over the Distribution Amount for such Payment Date.

          (b)  Any notice delivered by the Indenture Trustee to the Insurer
pursuant to subsection 5A.1(a) shall specify the Policy Claim Amount claimed
under the Policy and shall constitute a "Notice of Claim" under the Policy.  In
accordance with the provisions of the Policy, the Insurer is required to pay to
the Indenture Trustee the Policy Claim Amount properly claimed thereunder by
12:00 noon, New York City time, on the later of (i) the third Business Day
following receipt on a Business Day of the Notice of Claim, and (ii) the
Business Day preceding the applicable Payment Date.  Any payment made by the
Insurer under the Policy shall be applied solely to the payment of the Notes,
and for no other purpose.

          (c)  The Indenture Trustee shall (i) receive as attorney-in-fact of
each Noteholder any Policy Claim Amount from the Insurer and (ii) deposit the
same in the Collection Account for disbursement to the Noteholders as set forth
in the Indenture.  Any and all Policy Claim Amounts disbursed by the Indenture
Trustee from claims made under the Policy shall not be considered payment by the
Issuer with respect to such Notes, and shall not discharge the obligations of
the Issuer with respect thereto.  The Insurer shall, to the extent it makes any
payment with respect to the Notes, become subrogated to the rights of the
recipients of such payments to the extent of such payments.  Subject to and
conditioned upon any payment with respect to the Notes by or on behalf of the
Insurer, the Indenture Trustee shall assign to the Insurer all rights to the
payment of interest or principal with respect to the Notes which are then due
for payment to the extent of all payments made by the Insurer and the Insurer
may exercise any option, vote, right, power or the like with respect to the
Notes to the extent that it has made payment pursuant to the Policy.  To
evidence such subrogation, the Note Registrar shall note the Insurer's rights as
subrogee upon the register of Noteholders upon receipt from the Insurer of proof
of payment by the Insurer of any Noteholders' Interest Distributable Amount or
Noteholders' Principal Distributable Amount.

          (d)  The Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to enforce on behalf of
the Noteholders the obligations of the Insurer under the Policy.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any Basic Document, the
Noteholders are not entitled to make a claim directly under the Policy or
institute proceedings directly against the Insurer.

          (e)  The Indenture Trustee shall keep a complete and accurate record
of all funds on deposit in the Collection Account and the Note Distribution
Account and the allocation of such funds to payments of interest on and
principal paid in respect of any Note. The Insurer shall have the right to

                                       36
<PAGE>

inspect such records at reasonable times upon one (1) Business Day's prior
notice to the Indenture Trustee.

     SECTION 5A.2  Preference Claims; Direction of Proceedings.
                   -------------------------------------------

          (a)  In the event that the Indenture Trustee has received a certified
copy of an order of the appropriate court that any Noteholders' Interest
Distributable Amount or Noteholders' Principal Distributable Amount paid on a
Note has been avoided in whole or in part as a preference payment under
applicable bankruptcy law, the Indenture Trustee shall so notify the Insurer,
shall comply with the provisions of the Policy to obtain payment by the Insurer
of such avoided payment, and shall, at the time it provides notice to the
Insurer, notify Holders of the Notes by mail that, in the event that any
Noteholder's payment is so recoverable, such Noteholder will be entitled to
payment pursuant to the terms of the Policy.  Pursuant to the terms of the
Policy, the Insurer will make such payment on behalf of the Noteholder to the
receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy named in
the Order (as defined in the Policy) and not to the Indenture Trustee or any
Noteholder directly (unless a Noteholder has previously paid such payment to the
receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy, in which
case the Insurer will make such payment to the Indenture Trustee for
distribution to such Noteholder upon proof of such payment satisfactory to the
Insurer).

          (b)  The Indenture Trustee shall promptly notify the Insurer of any
proceeding or the institution of any action (of which a responsible officer of
the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge) seeking the avoidance as a
preferential transfer under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership,
rehabilitation or similar law (a "Preference Claim") of any distribution made
with respect to the Notes.  Each Holder, by its purchase of Notes, and the
Indenture Trustee hereby agree that so long as an Insurer Default shall not have
occurred and be continuing, the Insurer may at any time during the continuation
of any proceeding relating to a Preference Claim direct all matters relating to
such Preference Claim including, without limitation, (i) the direction of any
appeal of any order relating to any Preference Claim and (ii) the posting of any
surety, supercede as or performance bond pending any such appeal at the expense
of the Insurer, but subject to reimbursement as provided in the Insurance
Agreement.  In addition, and without limitation of the foregoing, as set forth
in Section 5A.1(c), the Insurer shall be subrogated to, and each Noteholder and
the Indenture Trustee hereby delegate and assign, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, the rights of the Indenture Trustee and each Noteholder in the
conduct of any proceeding with respect to a Preference Claim, including, without
limitation, all rights of any party to an adversary proceeding action with
respect to any court order issued in connection with any such Preference Claim.

     SECTION 5A.3  Surrender of Policy.  The Indenture Trustee shall surrender

     SECTION 8.1.   Servicer Default.  If any one of the following events (a
                    ----------------
"Servicer Default") shall occur and be continuing:

          (a)  Any failure by the Servicer to deliver to the Owner Trustee or
the Indenture Trustee any deposit or payment proceeds or payment required to be

failure by the Servicer; or

          (b)  The breach of any representation or warranty or covenant of the
Servicer or failure by the Servicer duly to observe or to perform in any
material respect any covenants or agreements of the Servicer or the Seller (as
the case may be) set forth in the Notes, the Certificates, this Agreement or any
other Basic Document, which breach or failure shall (i) materially and adversely
affect the rights of the Insurer, Certificateholders or the Noteholders and (ii)
continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written
notice of such breach or failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have
been given (A) to the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee or the Controlling Party
or (B) to the Servicer, the Insurer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee
by the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the outstanding
principal amount of the Notes or Holders of Certificates evidencing not less
than 25% of the outstanding Certificate Balance, as applicable (or for such
longer period, not in excess of 60 days, as may be reasonably necessary to

days and the Servicer delivers an Officers' Certificate to the Insurer, the

                                       51
<PAGE>

Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee to such effect and to the effect that
the Servicer has commenced or will promptly commence, and will diligently
pursue, all reasonable efforts to remedy such default); or

          (c)  An Insolvency Event occurs with respect to the Servicer or any
successor;

          (d)  Failure to deliver a Servicer's Certificate within 3 days of the
related Determination Date;

          (e)  Failure to deliver the annual statement of compliance required to

failure of the Insurer to deliver a Servicer Extension Notice pursuant to
Section 3.5 hereof.

     then, and in each and every case, the Controlling Party or holders of Notes
representing not less than 25% of the voting rights thereof (or, if the Notes
have been paid in full and the Indenture has been discharged in accordance with
its terms, by holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the voting
interest thereof) in any case by notice given in writing to the Servicer (and to
the Indenture Trustee if given by the Insurer or, as applicable, the Noteholders
or the Certificateholders) may terminate all of the rights and obligations of
the Servicer under this Agreement. For purposes of Section 8.1(b), any
determination of an adverse effect on the interest of the Certificateholders or
the Noteholders pursuant to Section 8.1(b) shall be made without consideration
of the availability of funds under the Policy.  On or after the receipt by the
Servicer of such written notice, all authority, power, obligations and
responsibilities of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to
the Notes, the Certificates, the Receivables, the autodebit account payments,
the other Trust Property or otherwise, automatically shall pass to, be vested in
and become obligations and responsibilities of the Backup Servicer (or such
other successor Servicer appointed by the Controlling Party); provided, however,
that the successor Servicer shall have no liability with respect to any
obligation which was required to be performed by the prior Servicer prior to the
date that the successor Servicer becomes the Servicer or any claim of a third
party based on any alleged action or inaction of the prior Servicer.  The
successor Servicer is authorized and empowered by this Agreement, as successor
Servicer to execute and deliver, on behalf of the prior Servicer, as attorney-
in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments and to do or
accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the
purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and
endorsement of the Receivables and the other Trust Property and related
documents, to show the Issuer or Indenture Trustee as lienholder or secured
party on the related Lien Certificates, or otherwise.  The prior Servicer agrees
to cooperate with the successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the
responsibilities and rights of the prior Servicer under this Agreement,
including, without limitation, the transfer to the successor Servicer for
administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the
prior Servicer for deposit, or have been deposited by the prior Servicer, in the
Collection Account or thereafter received with respect to the Receivables and
the delivery to the successor Servicer of all Receivables Files, records and a
computer tape in readable form containing all information necessary to enable
the successor Servicer to service the Receivables and the other Trust Property.
The terminated Servicer shall grant the successor Servicer, the Indenture
Trustee, the Insurer (so long as no Insurer Default shall have occurred and be
continuing) and the Owner Trustee reasonable access to the terminated Servicer's
premises at the terminated Servicer's expense.

     SECTION 8.2.  Appointment of Successor.  (a)  Upon the Servicer's receipt
                   ------------------------
of notice of termination pursuant to Section 8.1 or the Servicer's resignation
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the predecessor Servicer shall
continue to perform its functions as Servicer under this Agreement, in the case
of termination, only until the date specified in such termination notice or, if
no such date is specified in a notice of termination, until receipt of such
notice and, in the case of resignation, until the later of (x) the date 45 days
from the delivery to the Owner Trustee, the Controlling Party, the Backup
Servicer and the Indenture Trustee of written notice of such resignation (or
written confirmation of such notice) in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and (y) the date upon which the predecessor Servicer shall become
unable to act as Servicer, as specified in the notice of resignation and
accompanying Opinion of Counsel.  In the event of the Servicer's termination
hereunder, the Backup Servicer shall assume the obligations of Servicer
hereunder and shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in form
acceptable to the Controlling Party.  Notwithstanding the above, the Indenture
Trustee with the prior written consent of the Controlling Party, or the
Controlling Party shall, if the Indenture Trustee shall be unwilling or legally
unable so to act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to
appoint, any established institution having a net worth of not less than
$50,000,000 and whose regular business shall include the servicing of automotive
receivables as the successor to the Servicer under the Agreement.

          (b)  Upon appointment, the successor Servicer (including the Backup
Servicer acting as successor Servicer) shall be the successor in all respects to
the predecessor Servicer and shall be subject to all the responsibilities,
duties and liabilities arising thereafter relating thereto placed on the
predecessor Servicer, and shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee and all the
rights granted to the predecessor Servicer by the terms and provisions of this
Agreement.  In addition, the successor Servicer shall have (i) no obligation to
perform any repurchase or advancing obligations, if any, of the Servicer, (ii)
no obligation to pay any taxes required to be paid by the Servicer, (iii) no
obligation to pay any of the fees and expenses of any other party involved in
this transaction and (iv) no liability or obligation with respect to any
Servicer indemnification obligations of any prior Servicer including the
original Servicer.  The terminated Servicer shall also grant an express power of
attorney to the successor Servicer so that the successor Servicer as Servicer
shall have control over and the right to direct any autodebit account payments.
Furthermore, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary, the successor Servicer as Servicer is authorized to accept and rely on
all of the accounting, records and work of the prior Servicer relating to the
Receivables (collectively, "Predecessor Servicer Work Product") without any
audit or other examination thereof, and the successor Servicer as Servicer shall
have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability for the acts and omissions
of any prior Servicer.  If any error, inaccuracy or omission (collectively,
"Errors") exist in any Predecessor Servicer Work Product received by the
successor Servicer from the prior Servicer and such Errors should cause or
materially contribute to the successor Servicer as Servicer making or continuing
any Errors (collectively, "Continued Errors"), the successor Servicer as
Servicer shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability for such
Continued Errors; provided, however, that the successor Servicer agrees to
                  --------  -------
perform its duties as successor Servicer in accordance with the standard of care
set forth in Section 4.1.  In the event that the successor Servicer as Servicer
becomes aware of Errors or Continued Errors, the successor Servicer shall use
its best efforts to reconstruct and reconcile such data as is commercially
reasonable to correct such Errors and Continued Errors and to prevent future
Continued Errors.  The successor Servicer as Servicer shall be entitled to
recover from the Trust its costs thereby expended.

     SECTION 8.3.  Notification to Noteholders, Certificateholders and Backup
                   ----------------------------------------------------------
Servicer.  Upon any Servicer Default or any termination of, or appointment of a
--------
successor to, the Servicer pursuant to this Article VIII the Owner Trustee shall
give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders and the Indenture
Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Noteholders, the Insurer and
to the Rating Agencies.

     SECTION 8.4.  Waiver of Past Defaults.  So long as no Insurer Default
                   -----------------------
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Insurer (or, if an Insurer Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Controlling Party) may, on behalf of
all Noteholders and Certificateholders, waive any default by the Servicer in the
performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except a default
in making any required deposits to or payments from any of the Trust Accounts in
accordance with this Agreement.  Upon any such waiver of a past default, such
default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Default arising therefrom shall
be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement.  No such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right
consequent thereto.
