CONTRIBUTION AND SALE OF LOANS
Section i.Contribution and Sale of Loans
.    In consideration of the payments described in Section 3.1, effective as of the Closing Date, CAC does hereby convey, assign, sell, contribute and transfer to Funding, without recourse, except as set forth herein, all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Initial Conveyed Property.
2








(1)CAC hereby further agrees that on each Distribution Date during the Revolving Period on which it decides to transfer additional Loans to Funding and the date of each Dealer Collections Purchase, in consideration of the payment described in Article III with respect to such Distribution Date, CAC shall, and CAC does hereby agree to, convey, assign, sell and transfer to Funding, without recourse, except as set forth herein, all of its right, title and interest in and to the Subsequent Conveyed Property with respect to such Distribution Date.
(2)CAC hereby further agrees that the above-described conveyances shall, without the need for any further action on the part of CAC or Funding, include (i) all rights arising under any Dealer Loan included in the Initial Conveyed Property and Subsequent Conveyed Property, including, without limitation, a security interest in each Dealer Loan Contract securing such Dealer Loan, which rights are attributable to advances made under such Dealer Loan as the result of additional Dealer Loan Contracts being allocated to the Open Pool securing such Dealer Loan and (ii) all rights arising under any Dealer Collections Purchase Agreement, including any Purchased Loans and Related Security arising thereunder. 
(3)Each such contribution, sale, assignment, transfer and conveyance does not constitute an assumption by Funding of any obligations of CAC or any other Person to Obligors or to any other Person in connection with the Loans or under any Contract, Dealer Agreement, Purchase Agreement or other agreement and instrument relating to the Loans.
(4)In connection with any such foregoing conveyance, CAC agrees to record and file on or prior to the Closing Date, at its own expense, a financing statement or statements (and authorizes the filing of any continuation statements and amendments with respect thereto) with respect to the Conveyed Property conveyed by CAC hereunder meeting the requirements of applicable state law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect the interests of Funding created hereby, and to deliver either the originals of such financing statements or a file-stamped copy of such financing statements or other evidence of such filings to Funding on the Closing Date.
(5)CAC agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents and take all actions as may be necessary or as Funding may reasonably request in order to perfect or protect the interest of Funding in the Loans and other Conveyed Property purchased hereunder or to enable Funding to exercise or enforce any of its rights hereunder.  CAC shall, upon request of Funding, obtain such additional search reports as Funding shall request.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Funding shall be authorized and permitted to file continuation statements and amendments to financing statements and assignments thereof to preserve and protect its right, title and interest in, to and under the Conveyed Property. 
(6)It is the express intent of CAC and Funding that the conveyance of the Loans and other Conveyed Property by CAC to Funding pursuant to this Agreement be construed as an absolute sale and conveyance of all of CAC’s right, title and interest in, to and under such Loans and other Conveyed Property to Funding and that CAC relinquishes control over and all right, title and interest (legal or equitable) in, to and under any Loan or other Conveyed Property immediately upon the transfer of each such Conveyed Property under this Agreement; except 
2








that, for the avoidance of doubt, CAC may  effect a Dealer Collections Purchase from time to time and will continue to service the Conveyed Property, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Sale and Servicing Agreement.  Further, it is not the intention of CAC and Funding that such conveyance be deemed a grant of a security interest in the Loans and other Conveyed Property by CAC to Funding in the nature of a consensual lien securing an obligation.  However, notwithstanding the express intent of the parties, if and to the extent the transfer of any of the Loans or other Conveyed Property is for any purpose characterized as a collateral transfer for security or the transaction is characterized as a financing transaction, then (i) this Agreement also shall be deemed to be, and hereby is, a security agreement within the meaning of the UCC as enacted in the State of New York and any other applicable jurisdiction; and (ii) the conveyance by CAC provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be, and CAC hereby grants to Funding, a first priority, perfected security interest in, to and under and a lien on all of CAC’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Conveyed Property, to secure the obligation of CAC to pay to Funding an amount equal to the Issuer Secured Obligations.  CAC and Funding shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create such a security interest in the Loans and other Conveyed Property, such security interest would be a perfected security interest in favor of Funding under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement.
(7)In connection with such conveyance, CAC agrees to deliver to Funding on the Closing Date and each Distribution Date on which Subsequent Conveyed Property is sold by CAC to Funding, as applicable, one or more computer files or microfiche lists containing true and complete lists of all Dealer Agreements, Purchase Agreements, Loans conveyed to Funding on the Closing Date, and all Contracts securing or evidencing all such Loans, identified by account number, dealer number, original contract date and, for Contracts securing Dealer Loans, pool number.  Such file or list shall be marked as Exhibit A to this Agreement, shall be delivered to Funding as confidential and proprietary, and is hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement. Such Exhibit A shall be supplemented and updated on each Distribution Date in the Revolving Period on which additional Subsequent Conveyed Property is conveyed by CAC to Funding so that Exhibit A will describe all existing Loans, on an aggregate basis, which have been conveyed by CAC to Funding hereunder on and prior to said Distribution Date, and the related Dealer Agreements, the related Purchase Agreements and all Contracts securing or evidencing all such Loans (other than those that have been released from Collateral and those Dealer Loans that have been deemed to be satisfied pursuant to Section 4.18 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement).  Such updated Exhibit A shall be deemed to replace any existing Exhibit A as of such Distribution Date.   Furthermore, CAC agrees to supplement and update Exhibit A by delivering to Funding a copy of the list delivered pursuant to Section 4.18 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, identifying the Purchased Loan Contracts and related Subsequent Conveyed Property identified therein arising from a Dealer Collections Purchase.
(8)CAC will reflect the transactions described in paragraph (a) of this Section 2.1 on its internal non-consolidated financial statements and on any applicable non-consolidated state tax returns as a sale or other absolute transfer of the Loans from CAC to Funding, even though CAC will reflect this transaction on its consolidated financial statements as an “on-balance 
2








sheet” item in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. CAC will present the data in its consolidated financial statements with an accompanying footnote describing Funding’s separate existence and stating that the Loans have been contributed on an arms-length basis to Funding and that Funding’s assets are not available to CAC’s creditors.
Section ii.Servicing of Loans
.  The servicing, administering and collection of the Loans shall be conducted by the Servicer then authorized to act as such under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. 
Article III.


CONSIDERATION AND PAYMENT
Section i.Consideration
.  The consideration for the Loans and other Conveyed Property conveyed on the Closing Date to Funding by CAC under this Agreement shall be an amount equal to the net cash proceeds received by Funding arising out of its conveyance on the Closing Date of Conveyed Property to the Issuer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, plus 100% of the sole membership interest in Funding. Thereafter, on each Distribution Date in the Revolving Period, the consideration for the Loans and other Conveyed Property conveyed on such Distribution Date will equal the Aggregate Outstanding Net Eligible Loan Balance of such Loans as of such Distribution Date.  Such consideration shall be payable (i) in cash in the amount to be paid by the Issuer pursuant to Section 5.08(a)(iv) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and/or (ii) as an increase in the value attributable to CAC’s membership interest in Funding (which constitutes and will constitute all of the equity interests issued by Funding) as a result of the conveyance of such Loans and other Conveyed Property. 
Section ii.Dealer Collections Purchases
.  During its ordinary course of business in managing its serviced portfolio of dealer loans (and not based on the poor credit quality of particular dealer loans), CAC may from time to time agree to enter into an agreement (a “Dealer Collections Purchase Agreement”) with a Dealer, pursuant to which the Dealer agrees to sell and assign to CAC all of its rights, interests and entitlement in and to one or more Pools of Dealer Loan Contracts securing the related Dealer Loans, including such Dealer’s ownership interest in such Dealer Loan Contracts and rights to receive the related Dealer Collections (a “Dealer Collections Purchase”).  On the date of each Dealer Collections Purchase, CAC will pay the applicable Dealer under a Dealer Collections Purchase Agreement the applicable purchase price specified therein (the “Dealer Collections Purchase Price”).  Upon such payment, the related Dealer Loans (including the rights to the related Dealer Collections thereunder) shall be deemed to be satisfied and pursuant to Section 2.1(b) of this Agreement the Dealer Loan Contracts previously securing such Dealer Loans shall be automatically assigned by CAC to Funding as Purchased Loan Contracts and the loans thereunder shall be deemed Purchased Loans.  Funding agrees to accept the assignment of the Purchased Loans and Purchased Loan Contracts arising from the satisfaction of a Dealer Loan resulting from a Dealer 
2








Collections Purchase by CAC in satisfaction of such Dealer Loan secured by the related Dealer Loan Contracts.  The consideration for the conveyance from CAC to Funding of the Purchased Loan Contracts and Purchased Loans arising under the related Dealer Collections Purchase Agreement and other related Subsequent Conveyed Property will be (i) the satisfaction of the Dealer Loans previously secured by such Purchased Loan Contracts as provided herein, plus (ii) an increase in the value of CAC’s membership interest in Funding (which constitutes and will constitute all of the equity interests issued by Funding) that results from such conveyance.
Section iii.Membership Interest
.  The membership interest of CAC in Funding shall arise on the Closing Date. Such membership interest may not be sold or otherwise transferred by CAC.
Article IV.

CAC shall not: (i) fail to maintain separate books, financial statements, accounting records and other corporate documents from those of Funding; (ii) commingle any of its assets or the assets of any of its Affiliates with those of Funding (except to the extent that CAC acts as the Servicer of the Loans); (iii) pay from its own assets any obligation or indebtedness of any kind incurred by Funding (or the Trust); and (iv) directly, or through any of its Affiliates, borrow funds or accept credit or guaranties from Funding.
Section iii.Indemnities by CAC

If CAC has made any indemnity payment pursuant to this Section 5.3 and such payment fully indemnified the recipient thereof and the recipient thereafter collects any payments from others in respect of such Indemnified Amounts, then the recipient shall repay to CAC an amount equal to the amount it has collected from others in respect of such Indemnified Amounts.  Without limiting the foregoing, CAC shall indemnify each Indemnified Party for Indemnified Amounts relating to or resulting from:
2

(g)any failure of CAC to perform its duties or obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or any failure by CAC to perform its respective duties under the Loans;
(h)the failure by CAC to pay when due any taxes for which CAC is liable, including without limitation, sales, excise or personal property taxes payable in connection with the Conveyed Property;

(k)the failure of CAC, in its individual capacity, or any of its agents or representatives to remit to the Servicer or the Trust Collateral Agent, Collections remitted to CAC, in its individual capacity, or any such agent or representative; and

[Sale and Contribution Agreement]









EXHIBIT A 
to
Sale and Contribution Agreement
Dealer Agreements, Purchase Agreements, Loans and Contracts 
Exhibit A is the Excel file entitled “Exhibit A - Dealer Agreements, Purchase Agreements, Loans and Contracts” delivered by CAC to Funding. 













EXHIBIT B 
to
Sale and Contribution Agreement
Perfection Representations, Warranties And Covenants
In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Agreement, CAC hereby represents, warrants, and covenants to Funding as follows on the Closing Date and on each Distribution Date on which Funding purchases Loans, in each case only with respect to the Conveyed Property conveyed to Funding on such Closing Date or the relevant Distribution Date:
General
1.    This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in UCC Section 9-102) in the Conveyed Property in favor of Funding, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from and assignees of CAC.
2.    Each Contract constitutes “tangible chattel paper”, “electronic chattel paper,” or a “payment intangible”, within the meaning of UCC Section 9-102.  Each Dealer Loan constitutes a “payment intangible” or a “general intangible” within the meaning of UCC Section 9-102.
3.    Each Dealer Agreement and Purchase Agreement constitutes either a “general intangible” or “tangible chattel paper” within the meaning of UCC Section 9-102.
4.    There is only one original executed copy of each “tangible record” constituting or forming a part of each Contract that is tangible chattel paper and a single “authoritative copy” (as such term is used in Section 9-105 of the UCC) of each electronic record constituting or forming a part of each Contract that is electronic chattel paper.
5.    CAC has taken or will take all necessary actions with respect to the Loans to perfect Funding’s security interest in the Loans and in the property securing the Loans.
Creation
1.    CAC owns and has good and marketable title to the Initial Conveyed Property or Subsequent Conveyed Property, as applicable, free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person, excepting only (i) liens that will be terminated or amended on the Closing Date or each Distribution Date during the Revolving Period, as applicable, to reflect a release of the Initial Conveyed Property or Subsequent Conveyed Property, as applicable, and (ii) liens for taxes, assessments or similar governmental charges or levies incurred in the ordinary course of business that are not yet due and payable or as to which any applicable grace period shall not have expired, or that are being contested in good faith by proper proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been established, but only so long as foreclosure with respect to such a 








lien is not imminent and the use and value of the property to which the Lien attaches is not impaired during the pendency of such proceeding.
Perfection
1.    CAC has caused or will have caused, within ten days after the effective date of the Indenture, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the contribution and sale of the Conveyed Property from the Originator to Funding, the transfer and sale of the Seller Property from the Seller to the Issuer, and the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture.
2.    With respect to Seller Property that constitutes tangible chattel paper, such tangible chattel paper is in the possession of the Servicer, in its capacity as custodian for the Trust and the Trust Collateral Agent, and the Trust Collateral Agent has received a written acknowledgment from the Servicer, in its capacity as custodian, that it is holding such tangible chattel paper solely on its behalf and for the benefit of the Trust Collateral Agent, the Seller, the Trust and the relevant Dealer(s).  
With respect to Seller Property that constitutes electronic chattel paper, the Servicer, in its capacity as custodian for the Trust and the Trust Collateral Agent, and the Trust Collateral Agent have received a written acknowledgment from the Servicer that it maintains control over such electronic chattel paper, as defined in Section 9-105 of the UCC, for the benefit of the Trust Collateral Agent, the Seller and the Trust.
All financing statements filed or to be filed against CAC in favor of Funding in connection with this Sale and Contribution Agreement describing the Conveyed Property contain a statement to the following effect: “A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Secured Party.”
Priority
1.    None of CAC, the Servicer nor Funding has authorized the filing of, or is aware of any financing statements against either Funding, CAC or the Trust that includes a description of the Conveyed Property and proceeds related thereto other than any financing statement:  (i) relating to the transfer of Conveyed Property by the Originator to the Seller under the Sale and Contribution Agreement, (ii) relating to the transfer to the Trust under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, (iii) relating to the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture; or (iv) that will be terminated or amended to reflect a release of the Conveyed Property.  Other than the security interest granted to Funding pursuant to this Sale and Contribution Agreement, CAC has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Conveyed Property.  
2.    Neither the Seller, the Originator nor the Trust is aware of any judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings against either the Seller, the Originator or the Trust.








3.    None of the tangible chattel paper or electronic chattel paper that constitutes or evidences the Contracts, the Dealer Agreements or the Purchase Agreements has any marks or notations indicating that it has been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than CAC, the Servicer, Funding, the Trust, a collection agent or the Trust Collateral Agent.
Survival of Perfection Representations
1.    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture or any other Basic Document, the perfection representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Exhibit shall be continuing, and remain in full force and effect (notwithstanding any replacement of the Servicer or termination of Servicer’s rights to act as such) until such time as all obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, this Agreement and the Indenture have been finally and fully paid and performed.
No Waiver
1.    The parties hereto: (i) shall not, without obtaining a confirmation of the then-current rating of the Class A, Class B and Class C Notes, waive any of the perfection representations, warranties or covenants; (ii) shall provide the Rating Agencies with prompt written notice of any breach of the perfection representations, warranties or covenants, and shall not, without obtaining a confirmation of the then-current rating of the Class A, Class B and Class C Notes as determined after any adjustment or withdrawal of the ratings following notice of such breach, waive a breach of any of the perfection representations, warranties or covenants.
