        of time or both, would become an Event of Default) or (ii) the failure
        of any Person to perform its obligation to pay any such amount at the
        time and in the manner specified in this Agreement or any other
        Transaction Agreement; and

                  (ix) interest on any and all such amounts from the date of
        payment by Financial Security of such amounts until payment thereof in
        full and interest on any and all amounts described in Sections 3.03 and
        3.09 hereof, from the date due until payment thereof in full, in each
        case, payable at the Late Payment Rate.

               (b) All amounts to be paid by the Trust, WFAL or WFSRC pursuant
to subsection (a) above shall be due and payable without demand, in full without
any requirement on the part of Financial Security to seek reimbursement from any
other sources of indemnity therefor or to allocate expenses to other
transactions benefiting therefrom, and all such amounts shall be payable in the
priority and in the manner provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement;
provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any Servicer Default under the
Sale and Servicing Agreement, Financial Security shall have the rights provided
for herein and therein.

               (a) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in
Section 3.04(a), the payment obligations provided in Sections 3.04(a)(i) (to the
extent that such payment obligations do not arise from any failure or default in
the performance by the Bank or WFAL2 of any of its payment obligations under the
RIC), 3.04(a)(ii) and (to the extent that such payment obligations do not arise
from any failure or default in the performance by WFAL or WFSRC of any of its
obligations under the Transaction Agreements) 3.04(a)(iii)(A) and (B), and any
interest on the foregoing in accordance with Section 3.04(a)(ix), shall not be
recourse to WFAL and WFSRC, WFS, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the
Collateral Agent or the Proceeds Agent, but shall be payable solely by
application of moneys (excluding the Retained Yield) received from time to time
in accordance with the Sale and Servicing Agreement (including but not limited
to all amounts paid into the Collection Account, the Note Distribution Account,
the Certificate Distribution Account or the Holding Account pursuant to the Sale
and Servicing Agreement by any Western Entity, but not including the Retained
Yield to the extent that any amount thereof is deposited into any such Account)
and by realization on the Collateral pursuant to Section 6.03 hereof. Such
payment obligations shall be limited, except as set forth in the preceding
sentence, solely to application of monies, if any, in the Spread Account from
time to time in accordance with Transaction Agreements.

               (b) Limited Recourse. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, the obligations of WFAL and WFSRC under Section
3.04 are solely the corporate obligations of each entity, and shall be payable
by WFAL and WFSRC, solely as provided in Section 3.04. WFAL and WFSRC shall only
be required to pay (i) any fees, expenses, indemnities or other liabilities that
it may incur under Section 3.04 (y) from funds available pursuant to, and in
accordance with, the payment priorities set forth in Section 5.06 of the Sale
and Servicing Agreement and (z) to the extent either WFAL or WFSRC has
additional funds available (other than funds described in the preceding clause
(y)) that would be in excess of amounts that would be necessary to pay the debt
and other obligations of such entity incurred in accordance with its certificate
of incorporation and all financing documents to which it is a party and (ii) any
expenses, indemnities or other liabilities that it may incur under Section 3.04
(y) from funds available pursuant to, and in accordance with, the payment
priorities set forth in Section 5.06 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and (z)
only to the extent it receives additional funds designated for such purposes or
to the extent it has additional funds available (other than funds described in
the preceding clause (y)) that would be in excess of amounts that would be
necessary to pay its debt and other obligations incurred in accordance with its
certificate of incorporation and all financing documents to which it is a party.
In addition, no amount owing by either WFAL or WFSRC hereunder in excess of the
liabilities that it is required to pay in accordance with the preceding sentence
shall constitute a "claim" (as defined in Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code)
against it. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing
hereunder or for the payment of any fee hereunder or any other obligation of, or
claim against, WFAL or WFSRC arising out of or based upon Section 3.04, against
any stockholder, employee, officer, agent, director or authorized person of the
WFAL or WFSRC or Affiliate thereof; provided, however, that the foregoing shall
not relieve any such person or entity of any liability they might otherwise have
as a result of fraudulent actions or omissions taken by them.

               Section 3.06. Indemnification.

               (a) In addition to any and all rights of indemnification or any
other rights of Financial Security pursuant hereto or under law or equity, WFAL
and WFSRC agree to pay, and to protect, indemnify and save harmless, Financial
Security and its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents and each
person, if any, who controls Financial Security within the meaning of either
Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and
against any and all claims, losses, liabilities (including penalties), actions,
suits, judgments, demands, damages, costs or expenses (including, without
limitation, fees and expenses of attorneys, consultants and auditors and
reasonable costs of investigations) or obligations whatsoever (herein
collectively referred to as "Liabilities") of any

                  (ii) to the extent not covered by clause (i) above, any act or
        omission of WFAL, WFSRC or the Trust in connection with the offering,

        representation or warranty on the part of WFAL, WFSRC or the Trust,
        respectively, contained in or incorporated by reference in this

        furnished or delivered to Financial Security hereunder and thereunder,
        or the occurrence, in respect of WFAL, WFSRC or the Trust, under any of
        the Transaction Agreements of any event of default or any event which,
        with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute any

               (c) If any action or proceeding (including any governmental
investigation) shall be brought or asserted against Financial Security or any
person controlling Financial Security (hereinafter collectively referred to as a
Financial Security Indemnified Party) in respect of which indemnity may be
sought from WFAL or WFSRC pursuant to Section 3.06(a)(i) or (ii) or WFS pursuant
to Section 3.06(b)(i), (ii) or (x) (such Western Entity or Western Entities, as
the case may be, herein referred to as the Indemnifying Western Entity), then
Financial Security or such controlling person shall give the Indemnifying
Western Entity written or telegraphic notice of such action or claim reasonably
promptly after receipt of written notice thereof. The Indemnifying Western
Entity shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any such action or
claim in reasonable cooperation with, and with the reasonable cooperation of,
the Financial Security Indemnified Party. The Financial Security Indemnified
Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action in
addition to the counsel of the Indemnifying Western Entity, but fees and
expenses of such counsel will be at the expense of the Financial Security
Indemnified Party unless (1) the employment of counsel by the Financial Security
Indemnified Party has been authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Western
Entity or (2) the Indemnifying Western Entity has not in fact employed counsel
to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after receiving
notice of the commencement of the action or (3) the named parties to any such
action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the
Indemnifying Western Entity on the one hand and the Financial Security
Indemnified Party on the other hand, and the Financial Security Indemnified
Party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal
defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those
available to the Indemnifying Western Entity (it being understood, however, that
the Indemnifying Western Entity shall not, in connection with any one such
action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related actions or
proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations
or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than
one separate firm of attorneys at any time for the Financial Security
Indemnified Party, which firm shall be designated in writing by the Financial
Security Indemnified Party), in each of which cases the fees and expenses of
counsel will be at the expense of the Indemnifying Western Entity and all such
fees and expenses will be reimbursed promptly as they are incurred. No
settlement of any such claim or action shall be entered into without the consent
of Financial Security on the one hand and the Indemnifying Western Entity who is
subject to such claim or action on the other hand. Any failure by Financial
Security to comply with the provisions of this Section shall relieve the
Indemnifying Western Entity of liability only if substantially prejudicial to
the position of the Indemnifying Western Entity and then only to the extent of
such prejudice.

               (d) The rights to indemnification provided for in this Section
3.06 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall survive until the
statute of limitations has run on any causes of action that arise from these
provisions and until all suits filed as a result thereof have been finally
concluded.

               (e) Limited Recourse. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, the obligations of WFAL and WFSRC under this
Section 3.06 are solely the corporate obligations of each entity, and shall be
payable by WFAL and WFSRC, solely as provided in Section 3.06. WFAL and WFSRC
shall only be required to pay (i) any fees, expenses, indemnities or other
liabilities that it may incur under this Section 3.06 (y) from funds available
pursuant to, and in accordance with, the payment priorities set forth in Section
5.06 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and (z) to the extent either WFAL or
WFSRC has additional funds available (other than funds described in the
preceding clause (y)) that would be in excess of amounts that would be necessary
to pay the debt and other obligations of such entity incurred in accordance with
its certificate of incorporation and all financing documents to which it is a
party and (ii) any expenses, indemnities or other liabilities that it may incur
under this Section 3.06 (y) from funds available pursuant to, and in accordance
with, the payment priorities set forth in Section 5.06 of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement and (z) only to the extent it receives additional funds designated for
such purposes or to the extent it has additional funds available (other than
funds described in the preceding clause (y)) that would be in excess of amounts
that



                                       33
<PAGE>   34
would be necessary to pay its debt and other obligations incurred in accordance
with its certificate of incorporation and all financing documents to which it is
a party. In addition, no amount owing by either WFAL or WFSRC hereunder in
excess of the liabilities that it is required to pay in accordance with the
preceding sentence shall constitute a "claim" (as defined in Section 101(5) of
the Bankruptcy Code) against it. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any
amount owing hereunder or for the payment of any fee hereunder or any other
obligation of, or claim against, WFAL or WFSRC arising out of or based upon this
Section 3.06, against any stockholder, employee, officer, agent, director or
authorized person of the WFAL or WFSRC or Affiliate thereof; provided, however,
that the foregoing shall not relieve any such person or entity of any liability
they might otherwise have as a result of fraudulent actions or omissions taken
by them.

               Section 3.07. Liability Absolute. The obligations of WFAL, WFSRC,
WFS and the Trust hereunder shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and
shall be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement under all circumstances whatsoever, including, without limitation, the
following circumstances:

               (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Policy or all
or any provision of this Agreement or of any of the other Transaction
Agreements;

               (b) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from
all or any provision of this Agreement or of any other Transaction Agreement;

               (c) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense, reduction,
abatement or other right which either Western Entity may have at any time
against Financial Security or any other Person;

               (d) any statement, instrument of assignment or any other document
presented to Financial Security in connection with the Policy proving to be
forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement
therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever;

               (e) payment by Financial Security under the Policy against
presentation of a certificate or other document which does not comply with the
terms of the Policy, provided that such payment shall not have been the result
of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Financial Security;

               (f) any nonapplication or misapplication by the Indenture
Trustee, the Owner Trustee, or any paying agent of the proceeds of the demand
for payment under the Policy;

               (g) the failure of WFAL, WFSRC, or, indirectly, WFS, to receive
the proceeds of the sale of the Notes or the Certificates; or

               (h) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or
not similar to any of the foregoing, provided that such circumstance or
happening shall not have been the result of the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Financial Security.

               Section 3.08. Liability of Financial Security. Neither Financial
Security nor any of its officers, directors or employees shall be liable or
responsible for (a) the unauthorized use which may be made of the Policy by the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee or any unauthorized acts or omissions of
the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in connection with the Policy; or (b)
the validity, sufficiency, accuracy or genuineness of documents, or of any
endorsement(s) thereto, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any
or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; or (c) any acts or
omissions to act of the Indenture Trustee in connection with the Collateral
other than such acts or omissions that are at the direction of Financial
Security. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Financial
Security (or its Fiscal Agent) may accept documents that appear on their face to
be in order, without responsibility for further investigation. Each of the Owner
Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and each Western Entity acknowledges that it has
not relied on any information or materials provided by Financial Security in
connection with the issuance of the Notes and the Certificates except



                                       34
<PAGE>   35

for the information furnished in writing by Financial Security for inclusion in
the Registration Statement. Each of them also acknowledges that it has not
relied on any investigation by Financial Security of the Collateral or of the
financial statements or other financial statistical data used in connection with
the issuance of the Notes and Certificates.

               Section 3.09. Payment of Costs, Fees and Expenses.

               (a) WFAL and WFSRC shall pay on demand any and all charges, fees,
costs and expenses which Financial Security may reasonably pay or incur,
including, but not limited to, attorneys' and accountants' fees and expenses, in
connection with (A) the enforcement, defense or preservation of any rights in
respect of any of this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreements, including
defending, monitoring or participating in any litigation or proceeding

or any Affiliate (other than Westcorp) thereof) relating to any of the
Transaction Agreements and this Agreement, any party to any of the Transaction
Agreements and this Agreement, or the transaction, (B) any amendment, waiver or
other action with respect to, or related to, any Transaction Agreements and this
Agreement whether or not executed or completed or (C) any review or approval by
Financial Security in connection with the delivery of any additional or
substitute collateral under any of the Transaction Agreements and this
Agreement. In addition, WFAL and WFSRC shall reimburse Financial Security for
its expenses, including, without limitation, legal fees and disbursements,
incurred in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and the
Transaction Agreements and the consummation of the initial transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, it being understood that WFAL's and WFSRC's
obligations to reimburse Financial Security pursuant to this sentence shall be
limited in the aggregate to the dollar amount set forth in the letter agreement
between the Sellers and Financial Security referred to in the definition of
"Premium" set forth herein, plus rating agency fees, to the extent paid by
Financial Security.

               (b) WFS shall pay on demand any and all charges, fees, costs and
expenses not paid by WFAL and WFSRC which Financial Security may reasonably pay
or incur, including, but not limited to, attorneys' and accountants' fees and
expenses, in connection with (A) the enforcement, defense or preservation of any
rights in respect of this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreements,
including defending, monitoring or participating in any litigation or proceeding
(including any bankruptcy proceeding in respect of any transaction participant
or any Affiliate (other than Westcorp) thereof) relating to this Agreement or
any other Transaction Agreements, any party to any of the Transaction Agreements
and this Agreement, or the transaction, (B) any amendment, waiver or other
action with respect to, or related to, this Agreement or any other Transaction
Agreements, whether or not executed or completed or (C) any review or approval
by Financial Security in connection with the delivery of any additional or
substitute collateral under any of the Transaction Agreements and this
Agreement.

               (c) Limited Recourse. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, the obligations of WFAL and WFSRC under this
Section 3.09 are solely the corporate obligations of each entity, and shall be
payable by WFAL and WFSRC, solely as provided in Section 3.04. WFAL and WFSRC
shall only be required to pay (i) any fees, expenses or other liabilities that
it may incur under this Section 3.09 (y) from funds available pursuant to, and
in accordance with, the payment priorities set forth in Section 5.06 of the Sale
and Servicing Agreement and (z) to the extent either WFAL or WFSRC has
additional funds available (other than funds described in the preceding clause
(y)) that would be in excess of amounts that would be necessary to pay the debt
and other obligations of such entity incurred in accordance with its certificate
of incorporation and all financing documents to which it is a party and (ii) any
expenses, indemnities or other liabilities that it may incur under this Section
3.09 (y) from funds available pursuant to, and in accordance with, the payment
priorities set forth in Section 5.06 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and (z)
only to the extent it receives additional funds designated for such purposes or

<PAGE>   36

necessary to pay its debt and other obligations incurred in accordance with its
certificate of incorporation and all financing documents to which it is a party.
In addition, no amount owing by either WFAL or WFSRC hereunder in excess of the
liabilities that it is required to pay in accordance with the preceding sentence
shall constitute a "claim" (as defined in Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code)
against it. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing
hereunder or for the payment of any fee hereunder or any other obligation of, or
claim against, WFAL or WFSRC arising out of or based upon this Section 3.09,
against any stockholder, employee, officer, agent, director or authorized person
of the WFAL or WFSRC or Affiliate thereof; provided, however, that the foregoing
shall not relieve any such person or entity of any liability they might
otherwise have as a result of fraudulent actions or omissions taken by them.

               Section 3.10. Payment Procedure. All payments made pursuant to
this Agreement shall be made to Financial Security in lawful currency of the
United States of America and in one-day clearing-house funds at Financial
Security's Notice Address before 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date when

               Section 3.11. Business Days. In any case where the date of any
payment to Financial Security or the expiration of any time period hereunder
occurs on a day which is not a Business Day, then such payment may be made, or

force and effect as if made on the day of maturity or expiration of such period,
except that interest shall continue to accrue for the period after such date to

                      First, (i) the repayment of all amounts, if any, advanced
        or expended by the Collateral Agent, in its capacity as Collateral
        Agent, for the account of WFAL and WFSRC hereunder, (ii) the payment of
        all reasonable costs and expenses at any time and from time to time
        incurred by the Collateral Agent, in its capacity as Collateral Agent,
        in connection with the administration or enforcement of this Agreement
        or any related document (including, without limitation, the fees and
        out-of-pocket expenses of counsel employed by the Collateral Agent in
        connection therewith) and (iii) the payment of all indemnities at any
        time and from time to time payable hereunder to the Collateral Agent, by
        WFAL and WFSRC, and

                      Second, (i) the repayment of all amounts advanced or paid
        by Financial Security under the Policy pursuant to this Agreement and

        Financial Security in connection with the administration or enforcement
        of this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement or any related
        document (including, without limitation, the fees and out-of-pocket
        expenses of counsel employed by Financial Security in connection
        therewith) and under or in connection with this Agreement and the
        Policy.

               Section 4.02. Granting Clause. i) Conveyance by WFAL. In order to
secure and to provide for the repayment of the Obligations, WFAL hereby sells,
assigns, conveys, transfers, delivers and sets over unto the Collateral Agent,
as collateral agent for Financial Security, and hereby grants the Collateral
Agent, as collateral agent for Financial Security, a security interest in all of
its right, title and interest in the Collateral owned by it, to have and to hold
said Collateral unto the Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, forever
in pledge and trust for the benefit and security of Financial Security, subject
to the terms and provisions set forth in Article V of this Agreement. The
assignment and security interest so granted to the Collateral Agent shall not
relieve WFAL from the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement
on WFAL's part to be performed or observed under or in connection with this
Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement, or impose any obligation on the
Collateral Agent or Financial Security to perform or observe any such term,
covenant, condition or agreement on WFAL's part to be so performed or observed
or impose any liability on the Collateral Agent or Financial Security for any
act or omission on the part of WFAL relative thereto or for any breach of any
representation or warranty on the part of WFAL contained therein, or made in
connection therewith, and WFAL hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Collateral Agent and Financial Security from and against any and all losses,
liabilities (including liabilities for penalties), claims, demands, actions,
suits, judgments, costs and expenses arising out of or resulting from the
assignment and security interest granted hereby by virtue of any act or omission
on the part of WFAL (other than an act or omission on the part of such party
pursuant to or in accordance with an express direction from the Collateral Agent
or Financial Security), including, without limitation, the reasonable costs,
expenses and disbursements (including attorneys' fees) incurred by the
Collateral Agent or Financial Security in enforcing this Agreement or any other
Transaction Agreement. The assignment and security interest granted to the
Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section shall become effective prior to the
effectiveness of the Seller Assignments, and the assignment by WFAL to the Trust
under Section 2.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the assignment by the
Trust to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture and, upon the effectiveness
of such assignment and security interest, such assignment and security interest
shall be subject to the provisions of Section 5.01(d) hereof.

               (a) Conveyance by WFSRC. In order to secure and to provide for
the repayment of the Obligations, WFSRC hereby assigns, conveys, transfers,
delivers and sets over unto the Collateral Agent, as collateral agent for
Financial Security, and hereby grants the Collateral Agent, as collateral agent
for Financial Security, a security interest in all of its right, title and
interest in the Collateral owned by it, to have and to hold said Collateral unto
the Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, forever in pledge



                                       37
<PAGE>   38

and trust for the benefit and security of Financial Security, subject to the
terms and provisions set forth in Article V of this Agreement. The assignment
and security interest so granted to the Collateral Agent shall not relieve WFSRC
from the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement on WFSRC's
part to be performed or observed under or in connection with this Agreement or
any other Transaction Agreement, or impose any obligation on the Collateral
Agent or Financial Security to perform or observe any such term, covenant,
condition or agreement on WFSRC 's part to be so performed or observed or impose
any liability on the Collateral Agent or Financial Security for any act or
omission on the part of WFSRC relative thereto or for any breach of any
representation or warranty on the part of WFSRC contained therein, or made in
connection therewith, and WFSRC hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Collateral Agent and Financial Security from and against any and all losses,
liabilities (including liabilities for penalties), claims, demands, actions,
suits, judgments, costs and expenses arising out of or resulting from the
assignment and security interest granted hereby by virtue of any act or omission
on the part of WFSRC (other than an act or omission on the part of such party
pursuant to or in accordance with an express direction from the Collateral Agent
or Financial Security), including, without limitation, the reasonable costs,
expenses and disbursements (including attorneys' fees) incurred by the
Collateral Agent or Financial Security in enforcing this Agreement or any other
Transaction Agreement. The assignment and security interest granted to the
Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section shall become effective prior to the
effectiveness of the Seller Assignments, and the assignment by WFSRC to the
Trust under Section 2.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the assignment
by the Trust to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture and, upon the
effectiveness of such assignment and security interest, such assignment and
security interest shall be subject to the provisions of Section 5.01(d) hereof.

               Section 4.03. Release of Collateral. Financial Security hereby
instructs the Collateral Agent that, at such time as a Contract is reconveyed by
the Trust pursuant to Section 3.10 or Section 9.01 of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall release such Contract from the lien of the
security interest created hereby upon receipt by Financial Security of a
Certificate of each Seller that the conditions set forth in Section 9.01 of the
Sale and Servicing Agreement have been satisfied.

                                    ARTICLE V

                            INTERCREDITOR PROVISIONS

               Section 5.01. Financial Security's Direction Upon Servicer
Default.

               (a) So long as no Financial Security Insolvency has occurred and
no Financial Security Default has occurred and is continuing, if there exists
any Servicer Default pursuant to Section 8.01 of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, Financial Security shall, notwithstanding the provisions of Article
VIII of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, have the sole right to direct the
Indenture Trustee as to any and all actions to be taken under the Indenture or
the Sale and Servicing Agreement, as applicable, including, without limitation,
all actions with respect to (i) the giving of directions to the Master Servicer
and any Subservicer with respect to the servicing of the Contracts and any of
the respective obligations of WFAL and WFSRC under the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, (ii) the exercise of all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and
claims against any obligor under the Sale and Servicing Agreement and (iii) the
giving or withholding of all consents, requests, notices, directions, approvals,
extensions or waivers under or with respect to the Indenture or the Sale and
Servicing Agreement, as applicable, in each case to the same extent as the
Noteholders or the Certificateholders might do but for the collateral assignment
and security interests granted to Financial Security hereunder, provided,
however, that the Indenture Trustee, without obtaining the consent or direction
of Financial Security, may at all times take any action permitted or required to
be taken by it under the terms of the Indenture or as a fiduciary in order to
protect the Indenture Trustee's, the Noteholders' and the Certificateholders'
interest in the Trust Estate or to preserve any available claims against WFAL
and WFSRC on behalf of the Noteholders and the



                                       38
<PAGE>   39

Certificateholders. Financial Security shall indemnify the Indenture Trustee in
full for any costs and expenses incurred (including the reasonable fees and
expenses of the Indenture Trustee's counsel) in connection with the Indenture
Trustee's due performance of directions pursuant to this subsection (a) or in
connection with any inaction of the Indenture Trustee as a result of a direction
from Financial Security at any time when Financial Security holds the right to
direct the Indenture Trustee as provided for in this paragraph (a).

               (b) Financial Security shall not unreasonably withhold any
consent required of it under the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Indenture,
as applicable, and shall promptly respond when any approval or consent is
required of it under the Sale or Servicing Agreement and the Indenture, as
applicable.

               (c) Notwithstanding any provision of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement or the Indenture, as applicable, to the contrary, so long as no
Financial Security Insolvency has occurred and no Financial Security Default has
occurred and is continuing,

                  (i) without the prior written consent of Financial Security,
        the Owner Trustee shall not (A) terminate the rights and powers of the
        Master Servicer pursuant to Section 8.01 of the Sale and Servicing
        Agreement or (B) waive any Servicer Default thereunder;

                  (ii) without the prior written consent of Financial Security,
        (A) neither WFAL and WFSRC nor the Trust shall cause to be appointed any
        successor Indenture Trustee, and, (B) neither the Indenture Trustee nor
        the Administrator shall cause to be appointed any Co-Trustee under the
        Indenture;

                  (iii) without the prior written consent of Financial Security,
        neither WFAL and WFSRC, or WFS nor the Owner Trustee or the Indenture
        Trustee shall appoint new Independent Accountants;

                  (iv) without the prior written consent of Financial Security,
        neither WFAL, WFSRC or WFS nor the Owner Trustee or the Indenture
        Trustee shall consent to the amendment of or supplement to any of the
        Transaction Agreements; and

                  (v) Financial Security shall have the power to direct the
        actions to be taken by WFAL and WFSRC pursuant to Section 3.02 of the
        Sale and Servicing Agreement.

               (d) Financial Security agrees that, until such time that all
required payments shall have been made with respect to the Notes, the security
interest in the Collateral granted to Financial Security under this Agreement
shall be junior and subordinate to the interest of the Indenture Trustee and the
Securityholders. Financial Security further agrees that, until such time that
all required payments shall have been made with respect to the Notes, neither
Financial Security nor any Person acting on its behalf may take any action to
foreclose or otherwise pursue remedies with respect to the Collateral other than
in accordance with the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture.

               Section 5.02. Financial Security's Direction of Insolvency
Proceedings. Financial Security shall have the rights provided for in Section
8.06 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                         THE COLLATERAL AGENT; REMEDIES

               Section 6.01. Appointment and Powers of Collateral Agent.
Financial Security hereby appoints Bankers Trust Company as the Collateral
Agent, and Bankers Trust Company accepts such appointment hereunder, and
Financial Security hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action on
its behalf and to exercise such rights, remedies, powers and privileges
hereunder as Financial Security



                                       39
<PAGE>   40

may direct and as are specifically authorized to be exercised by the Collateral
Agent by the terms hereof, together with such rights, remedies, powers and
privileges as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Collateral Agent may
execute any of its duties as agent hereunder by or through agents or employees
and shall be entitled to retain counsel and to act in reliance upon the advice
of such counsel concerning all matters pertaining to the agencies hereby created
and its duties hereunder, and shall not be liable for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of counsel
selected by it. The Collateral Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities
except those expressly set forth in this Agreement. The duties of the Collateral
Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. The Collateral Agent
shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship. Nothing in
this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as
to impose upon the Collateral Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement
except as expressly set forth herein. Neither the Collateral Agent nor Financial
Security, nor any of its or their respective directors, officers or employees,
shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them
hereunder, or in connection herewith, except for its or their own gross
negligence or willful misconduct; nor shall the Collateral Agent or Financial
Security be responsible for the validity, effectiveness, value, sufficiency or
enforceability against WFAL and WFSRC of this Agreement or any other document
furnished pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, or of the Collateral (or
any part thereof). The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely on any
communication, instrument, paper or other document believed by it to be genuine
and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons.

               Section 6.02. Successor Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent
acting hereunder at any time may resign by an instrument in writing addressed
and delivered to WFAL, WFSRC and Financial Security. If the Collateral Agent is
also the Indenture Trustee and, as such, determines that it has a conflicting
interest on account of its acting as Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent
shall eliminate such conflicting interest by resigning as Collateral Agent
hereunder rather than resigning as Indenture Trustee. Financial Security shall
appoint a successor to the Collateral Agent upon any such resignation by an
instrument of substitution complying with the requirements of applicable law,
or, in the absence of any such requirements, without formality other than
appointment and designation in writing, a copy of which instrument or writing
shall be sent to WFAL and WFSRC; provided, however, that the validity of any
such appointment shall not be impaired or affected by any failure to give any
such notice to WFAL and WFSRC or by any defect therein. Upon the making and
acceptance of such appointment, the execution and delivery by such successor
Collateral Agent of a ratifying instrument pursuant to which such successor
Collateral Agent agrees to assume the duties and obligations imposed on the
Collateral Agent by the terms of this Agreement, and the delivery to such
successor Collateral Agent of the Collateral and related documents then held by
the retiring Collateral Agent, such successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all the estate, rights, powers, remedies,
privileges, immunities, indemnities, duties and obligations hereby granted to or
conferred or imposed upon the Collateral Agent named herein, and one such
appointment and designation shall not exhaust the right to appoint and designate
further successor Collateral Agents hereunder. No Collateral Agent shall be
discharged from its duties or obligations hereunder until the Collateral and
related documents then held by such Collateral Agent shall have been transferred
and delivered to the successor Collateral Agent and such retiring Collateral
Agent shall have executed and delivered to the successor Collateral Agent
appropriate instruments establishing the successor Collateral Agent as the
record holder of all liens and security interests in favor of Financial Security
in the Collateral and transferring to such successor Collateral Agent all power
given to it by the Indenture Trustee to act as attorney-in-fact of the Indenture
Trustee for purposes of this Agreement. Each such successor Collateral Agent
shall provide WFAL and WFSRC and Financial Security with its address (which
shall thereupon become such successor Collateral Agent's Notice Address for
purposes of this Agreement), and its telephone, Telex, TWX and telecopier
numbers, to be used for purposes of Section 7.02 hereof, in a notice complying
with the terms of said Section.

               Section 6.03. Remedies Available to Collateral Agent.



                                       40
<PAGE>   41

               (a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and subject
to Article V hereof, if the Master Servicer shall have been terminated upon the
occurrence of any Servicer Default pursuant to Section 8.01 of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement, then in every such case, the Collateral Agent may, to the
extent permitted by applicable law and subject to Article V hereof, exercise the
following rights, privileges and remedies:

                  (i) Collection of the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall
        have the right to collect all proceeds of the Collateral, to pay all
        expenses of such collection, including the reasonable expenses and
        compensation of the Collateral Agent, its agents and attorneys, and to
        apply the remainder of the moneys so received as provided herein.

                  (ii) Sale of Collateral. The Collateral Agent may sell, or
        cause to be sold, the Collateral or any part thereof or interest
        therein, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash or at private
        sale or auction with or without demand, advertisement or notice of the
        date, time or place of sale or any adjournment thereof, upon such terms
        as Financial Security may approve, and upon such sale the Collateral
        Agent shall make and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers an
        appropriate instrument or instruments of transfer. The Collateral Agent
        is hereby irrevocably appointed the true and lawful attorney of the
        Indenture Trustee, in its name and stead, to make all necessary
        transfers of property thus sold; and for that purpose it may execute all
        necessary instruments of transfer, and may substitute one or more
        Persons with like power, the Indenture Trustee hereby ratifying and
        confirming all that its said attorney, or such substitute or
        substitutes, shall lawfully do by virtue hereof. Nevertheless, if so
        requested by the Collateral Agent or any purchaser of the Collateral or
        any part thereof, the Indenture Trustee shall ratify and confirm any
        such sale or transfer by executing and delivering to the Collateral
        Agent or such purchaser all proper instruments of transfer and releases
        as may be designated in any such request. The Collateral Agent may
        proceed at law or in equity to foreclose the lien of this Agreement
        against all or any part of the Collateral and to have the same sold
        under the judgment or decree of a court having jurisdiction or as
        otherwise may be required or permitted by law. Upon any such sale,
        whether made under the power of sale hereby given or by virtue of
        judicial proceedings, any Noteholder, Certificateholder or Financial
        Security may bid for and purchase the Collateral or any part thereof
        and, upon compliance with the terms of such sale, may hold, retain,
        possess or dispose of such property in its or their own absolute right
        without accountability; and any purchaser at any such sale may, in
        paying the purchase money, turn in any of the Notes or Certificates, as
        applicable, in lieu of cash up to the amount which shall, upon
        distribution of the net proceeds of such sale, be payable thereon. Said
        Notes or Certificates, in case the amounts so payable thereon shall be
        less than the amount due thereon, shall be returned to the Holders
        thereof after being properly stamped to show partial payment. Upon any
        sale, whether made under the power of sale hereby given or by virtue of
        judicial proceedings, a receipt of the Collateral Agent, or of the
        officer making such sale under judicial proceedings, shall be a
        sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale for its
        or their purchase money, and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be
        obliged to see to the application thereof. Any such sale, whether under
        the power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial proceedings,
        shall bind the Collateral Agent, WFAL, WFSRC, the Indenture Trustee, the
        Noteholders and the Certificateholders, shall operate to divest all
        right, title and interest whatsoever, either at law or in equity, of
        each of them in and to the property sold, and shall be a perpetual bar,
        both at law and in equity, against each of them and their successors and
        assigns, and against any and all Persons claiming through or under them.

                  (iii) Other Actions. The Collateral Agent shall have the right
        to cause any other action permitted at law or in equity to be initiated
        and prosecuted to enforce this Agreement and any rights granted by
        virtue of the pledge of the Collateral hereunder and to collect or
        enforce the Notes and the Certificates.



                                       41
<PAGE>   42

               Section 6.04. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws; Marshalling of
Assets. Each of WFAL, WFSRC, the Owner Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee (in
each case to the extent permitted by applicable law) covenants that it will not
at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the
benefit or advantage of, any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or
redemption law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, in order
to prevent or hinder the enforcement of this Agreement or the absolute sale of
the Collateral or any part thereof, or the possession thereof by any purchaser
at any sale under this Article; and each of WFAL, WFSRC, and the Indenture
Trustee (in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law), for itself and
all who may claim under it, hereby waives the benefit of all such laws, and
covenants that none of them will hinder, delay or impede the execution of any
power herein granted to the Collateral Agent, but will suffer and permit the
execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. Each of
WFAL, WFSRC, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, for itself and all who
may claim under it, waives (in each case to the extent permitted by applicable
law) all right to have the Collateral marshalled upon any foreclosure hereof,
and agrees that any court having jurisdiction to foreclose this Agreement may
order the sale of the Collateral as an entirety without the marshalling thereof.

               Section 6.05. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the
Collateral Agent has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy
under this Agreement, and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for
any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Collateral Agent, then and
in every such case WFAL, WFSRC, the Collateral Agent and the Indenture Trustee
shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally
and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights
and remedies of the Collateral Agent shall continue as though no such proceeding
had been instituted.

               Section 6.06. Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to the Collateral Agent is intended to be exclusive
of any other right or remedy, and every right shall, to the extent permitted by
law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given
hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or otherwise, and each
and every right, power and remedy, whether specifically herein given or
otherwise existing, may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such
order as may be deemed expedient by the Collateral Agent, and the exercise or
the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to
be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other
right, power or remedy.

               Section 6.07. Control by Financial Security. So long as no
Financial Security Insolvency has occurred and no Financial Security Default has
occurred and is continuing, Financial Security shall, upon the occurrence and
during the continuation of any of the Servicer Default described in Section 8.01
of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, subject to Article V hereof, have the right
to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Collateral Agent hereunder or otherwise or exercising any trust
or power conferred upon the Collateral Agent hereunder provided that:

                      (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule
        of law or with this Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement; and

                      (2) such Collateral Agent may take any other action deemed
        proper by such Collateral Agent that is not inconsistent with such
        direction.

               Section 6.08. Proceeds Agent as Custodian and Bailee of
Collateral Agent. In order to facilitate the making of payments under the
Contracts, such payments shall be deposited by the Master Servicer in the
Collection Account or the Holding Account, and certain amounts in the Collection
Account shall be deposited in the Spread Account, in accordance with the Sale
and Servicing Agreement. The Proceeds Agent shall retain all proceeds deposited
in the Collection Account, the Spread Account and Holding Account as custodian
and bailee of the Collateral Agent for Financial Security. Financial

Security hereby acknowledges that the Proceeds Agent will also hold all such
proceeds for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders. Solely
for purposes of perfection under Section 9-305 of the UCC, Financial Security
and the Proceeds Agent hereby acknowledge that the Proceeds Agent is acting as
agent and bailee of the Collateral Agent for Financial Security in holding such
property in the Collection Account, the Spread Account and the Holding Account,
and any other items constituting a part of the Collateral which from time to
time come into the possession of the Proceeds Agent. It is intended that, by the
Proceeds Agent's acceptance of such custodianship and bailment pursuant to this
Agreement, the Collateral Agent for Financial Security, as secured party, will
be deemed to have possession of such Collateral, items, moneys and such other
items for purposes of Section 9-305 of the UCC.

               Section 6.09. Indemnification of Collateral Agent. Financial
Security hereby indemnifies and holds the Collateral Agent harmless from and
against any and all judgments, claims, defenses, charges, losses, liabilities,
costs or expenses that the Collateral Agent may incur or that may be claimed
against the Collateral Agent by any Person by reason of any action taken, or any
failure to act, in connection with the duties and responsibilities of the
Collateral Agent under the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that
Financial Security shall not be required to indemnify the Collateral Agent
pursuant to this Section for any judgments, claims, defenses, charges, losses,
liabilities, costs or expenses to the extent caused by such Collateral Agent's
willful misconduct or gross negligence in any action taken, or any failure to
act, in connection with the duties and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent
under the terms of this Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall have the right to
retain counsel in any action for which indemnification from Financial Security
is provided herein, and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall
constitute costs and expenses of such Collateral Agent for which indemnification
from Financial Security is provided herein. The Collateral Agent shall be
entitled to submit a written request, with supporting documentation, for any
amounts expended by it for which indemnification is provided herein, as such
amounts are expended or on a periodic basis, as the Collateral Agent shall
choose, and Financial Security shall reimburse to the Collateral Agent the
amount specified in each such written request promptly. The indemnity agreements
contained in this Section shall remain operative and in full force and effect
regardless of the termination of this Agreement.

               Section 6.10. Compensation Payable to Collateral Agent. In
consideration of the Collateral Agent's services to be rendered hereunder, the
Master Servicer agrees to pay to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of Financial
Security, the compensation set forth in a separate letter agreement dated as of
the date hereof between the Master Servicer and the Collateral Agent
incorporated herein by this reference. The Collateral Agent acknowledges,
notwithstanding the fact that, in the event that payments from the Collection
Account are insufficient, it shall look solely to the Master Servicer for
payment of its compensation hereunder, that the Collateral Agent is acting
solely as the agent for Financial Security for purposes of this Agreement.
Failure by the Master Servicer to pay the Collateral Agent's compensation
hereunder shall not cause this Agreement to be cancelled, void or voidable or
otherwise terminated or otherwise affect the Collateral Agent's obligations
hereunder.

               Section 6.11. Protection of Financial Security's Security
Interest.

               (a) Each Seller shall execute and file (or cause to be executed
and filed) such financing statements and execute and file (or cause to be
executed and filed) such continuation statements, against such Seller, all in
such manner and in such places as may be required by law (whether in the event
of a change of such Seller's name, identity or corporate structure, or
otherwise) fully to preserve, maintain, and protect the interest of Financial
Security in the Collateral. Each Seller shall deliver (or cause to be delivered)
to Financial Security file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any
document filed as provided above, as soon as available following such filing.

               (b) Neither Seller shall change its name, identity, or corporate
structure in any manner that would, could, or might make any financing statement
or continuation statement filed by such Seller,



                                       43
<PAGE>   44

in accordance with paragraph (a) above, seriously misleading within the meaning
of Section 9-402(7) of the UCC, unless it shall have given the Collateral Agent
and Financial Security at least 60 days' prior written notice thereof.

               (c) Each Seller shall give Financial Security at least 60 days'
prior written notice of any relocation of either such Seller's principal
executive offices, as applicable if, as a result of such relocation, the
applicable provisions of the UCC would require the filing of any amendment of
any previously filed financing or continuation statement or of any new financing
statement. WFS shall at all times maintain each office from which it shall
service the Contracts, and its principal executive office, within the United
States of America.

               (d) Each Seller agrees that, upon request by Financial Security,
such Seller shall furnish to Financial Security, within seven Business Days, a
list of the Contracts then held as part of the Trust, together with a
reconciliation of such list to the Schedule of Contracts and to each of the
Master Servicer's certificates furnished pursuant to the Sale and Servicing
Agreement before such request; provided, however, that Financial Security shall
not make such request more than four times in any calendar year. None of WFAL,
WFSRC or the Master Servicer shall grant a security interest in, or lien upon,
or in any manner encumber the Collateral, or release or waive the security
interest granted hereunder, except as contemplated herein.

               (e) In the event that either the Master Servicer, WFAL or WFSRC
relocates its principal executive office, such party shall provide an Opinion of
Counsel to Financial Security, in form and substance satisfactory to Financial
Security, to the effect that upon the filing of any necessary amendment to any
previously filed financing or continuation statement or a new financing
statement, the Collateral Agent's security interest in the Collateral granted
hereunder shall remain valid and effective.

               (f) WFAL and WFSRC shall be obligated, jointly and severally, to
pay all reasonable costs and disbursements in connection with the perfection and
the maintenance of perfection, as against all third parties, of Financial
Security's right, and security interest in and to the Collateral.

               Section 6.12. Representations and Warranties of Indenture
Trustee. The representations and warranties of the Indenture Trustee, made as
Indenture Trustee, in Section 6.13 of the Indenture are incorporated by
reference herein as if set forth in full herein and Financial Security may rely
upon such representations and warranties.

               Section 6.13. Certain Guaranties. Each of the Indenture Trustee
and the Master Servicer agrees that it (i) shall not treat any ledger account or
deposit account as an "Eligible Account" by reason of a guaranty of the type
described in clause (ii)(a) of the definition of "Eligible Account" in the Sale
and Servicing Agreement unless Financial Security shall have previously approved
in writing the form of such guaranty and (ii) shall not treat any investment as
an "Eligible Investment" by reason of a guaranty of the type described in clause
(iii)(b) or clause (vii) of the definition of "Eligible Investments" in the Sale
and Servicing Agreement unless Financial Security shall have previously approved
in writing the form of such guaranty.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                                EVENTS OF DEFAULT

               Section 7.01. Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the
following events shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder:

               (a) any demand for payment shall be made under the Policy;

               (b) any representation or warranty made by the Trust, WFAL,
WFSRC, or WFS under any of the Transaction Agreements, or in any certificate or
report furnished under any of the Transaction



                                       44

Agreements, shall prove to be untrue or incorrect in any material respect,
provided however, a violation of Section 3.01(b) of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement as to which either Seller shall have in a timely manner cured or
repurchased the Contract as to each such Financed Vehicle pursuant to Section
3.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement shall not constitute an Event of
Default hereunder;

               (c) (i) the Trust, WFAL, WFSRC or WFS shall fail to pay when due
any amount payable by it under any of the Transaction Agreements (other than
payments of principal and interest on the Notes and the Certificates); (ii) the
Trust, WFAL, WFSRC or WFS shall have asserted that any of the Transaction
Agreements to which it is a party is not valid and binding on the parties
thereto; or (iii) any court, governmental authority or agency having
jurisdiction over any of the parties to any of the Transaction Agreements or
property thereof shall find or rule that any material provision of any of the
Transaction Agreements is not valid and binding on the parties thereto; provided
that as a result of such finding or ruling the rights or remedies of Financial
Security under this Agreement shall have been directly or indirectly impaired in
any material respect;

               (d) the Trust, WFAL, WFSRC or WFS shall fail to perform or
observe any other covenant or agreement by it contained in any of the
Transaction Agreements (except for the obligations described under clause (b) or
(c) above) and such failure shall continue for a period of 30 days after written
notice shall have been given to it; provided that, if such failure shall be of a
nature that it cannot be cured within 30 days, such failure shall not constitute
an Event of Default hereunder if within such 30-day period such party shall have
given notice to Financial Security of corrective action it proposes to take,
which corrective action is agreed in writing by Financial Security to be
satisfactory and such party shall thereafter pursue such corrective action
diligently until such default is cured, and provided further as a result of such
failure the rights or remedies of Financial Security under this Agreement shall
have been directly or indirectly impaired in any material respect;

               (e) there shall have occurred an "Event of Default" as specified
in Section 5.01 of the Indenture;

               (f) the Trust shall adopt a voluntary plan of liquidation or
shall fail to pay its debts generally as they come due, or shall admit in
writing its inability to pay its debts generally, or shall make a general
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall institute any proceeding
seeking to adjudicate the Trust insolvent or seeking a liquidation, or shall
take advantage of any insolvency act, or shall commence a case or other
proceeding naming the Trust as debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code or
similar law, domestic or foreign, or a case or other proceeding shall be
commenced against the Trust under the United States Bankruptcy Code or similar
law, domestic or foreign, or any proceeding shall be instituted against the
Trust seeking liquidation of its assets and the Trust shall fail to take
appropriate action resulting in the withdrawal or dismissal of such proceeding
within 30 days or there shall be appointed or the Trust consent to, or acquiesce
in, the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee or similar
official in respect of the Trust or the whole or any substantial part of its
properties or assets, or the Trust shall take any corporate action in
furtherance of any of the foregoing or the Trust terminates pursuant to Section
9.02 of the Trust Agreement;

               (g) the Trust becomes taxable as an association (or publicly
traded partnership) taxable as a corporation for federal or state income tax
purposes;

               (h) on any Distribution Date, the sum of Net Collections with
respect to such Distribution Date and the amounts available in the Spread
Account is less than the sum of the amounts payable on such Distribution Date
pursuant to clauses (i) through (ix) of Section 5.05 of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement; and

               Section 7.02. Remedies; Waivers



                                       45
<PAGE>   46

               (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Financial
Security may exercise any one or more of the rights and remedies set forth
below:

                  (i) declare all indebtedness of every type or description owed
        by the Trust, WFAL, WFSRC or WFS to Financial Security, including,
        without limitation, the entire outstanding balance of further
        installments of the Premium, to be immediately due and payable, and
        shall there upon be immediately due and payable; and

                  (ii) the Collateral Agent, subject to Article V hereof, shall
        have the right to take any action or initiate any proceeding at law or
        equity available to it to enforce the terms of this Agreement.

               (b) Financial Security shall have the right, to be exercised in
its complete discretion, to waive any Event of Default hereunder, by a writing
setting forth terms, conditions, and extent of such waiver signed by Financial
Security and delivered to an Authorized Officer of WFAL and WFSRC. Unless such
writing expressly provides to the contrary, any waiver so granted shall extend
only to the specific event or occurrence that gave rise to the Event of Default
so waived and not to any other similar event or occurrence that occurs
subsequent to the date of such waiver.

               (c) Unless otherwise expressly provided, no remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved is intended to be exclusive of any other available
remedy, but each remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to other
remedies given under the Transaction Agreements or existing at law or in equity.
No delay or failure to exercise any right or power accruing under any
Transaction Agreements upon the occurrence of any Event of Default or otherwise
shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver
thereof, but any such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as
often as may be deemed expedient. In order to entitle Financial Security to
exercise any remedy reserved to Financial Security in this Article, it shall not
be necessary to give any notice.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

               Section 8.01. Amendments, Changes and Modifications. This
Agreement may be amended, changed, modified, altered or terminated only by
written instrument or written instruments signed by the parties hereto.

               Section 8.02. Notices. All notices, certificates or other
communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been
duly given when delivered by hand, sent by overnight courier, or sent by
certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested,
addressed to the appropriate Notice Address. A duplicate copy of each notice,
certificate or other communication given hereunder to WFAL, WFSRC, WFS,
Financial Security, the Trust, the Indenture Trustee or the Collateral Agent
shall also be given to each of the others. Each party hereto may, by telecopy
notice or by such other notice described hereunder, designate any further or
different address to which subsequent notices, certificates or other
communications shall be sent without any requirement of execution of any

transfer or by certified or bank check payable to the appropriate party.

               Section 8.04. Further Assurances and Corrective Instruments.

               (a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the parties hereto
agree that they will, from time to time, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or
cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered, such supplements hereto and
such further instruments as Financial Security may reasonably request and



                                       46
<PAGE>   47

as may be reasonably required in Financial Security's judgment to effectuate the
intention of or facilitate the performance of this Agreement and to protect the
interests of Financial Security and the Collateral Agent, including, without
limitation, the creation and maintenance of Financial Security's security
interest in the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement, subject to the
Intercreditor Agreement. WFAL, WFSRC and the Master Servicer hereby authorize
the Collateral Agent to file, at the direction of Financial Security, financing
statements and amendments thereto relating to all or any part of the Collateral
without the signature of an officer of such entity where permitted by law in
order to maintain and perfect the security interests granted by this Agreement.

               (b) In order to facilitate the servicing of the Contracts by the
Master Servicer, the Master Servicer is hereby authorized, in the name and on
behalf of Financial Security, the Trust, the Indenture Trustee, WFAL and WFSRC,
to execute instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full
release or discharge, and other comparable instruments with respect to the
Contracts and with respect to the Financed Vehicles (and the Indenture Trustee
shall execute any such documents on request of the Master Servicer), subject to
the obligations of the Master Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

               Section 8.05. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall continue in
effect until the later of (a) the date on which Financial Security has no
further liability under the Policy or (b) the date on which each Western Entity
shall have paid or caused to be paid to Financial Security all amounts to be
paid by such Western Entity hereunder.

               Section 8.06. Assignments; Third-Party Rights; Reinsurance.

               (a) This Agreement shall be a continuing obligation of the
parties hereto and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither WFAL,
WFSRC, WFS, nor the Collateral Agent may assign its rights or obligations under
this Agreement, or delegate any of its duties hereunder, without the prior
written consent of Financial Security. Any assignment made in violation of this
Agreement shall be null and void.

               (b) Financial Security shall have the right to give
participations in its rights under this Agreement and to enter into contracts of
reinsurance with respect to the Policy upon such terms and conditions as
Financial Security may in its discretion determine; provided, however, that no
such participation or reinsurance agreement or arrangement shall relieve
Financial Security of any of its obligations hereunder or under the Policy and
provided further that Financial Security shall reimburse WFAL, WFSRC or WFS, as
the case may be, for any expense incurred by such Western Entity in connection
with the giving by Financial Security of participations or the entering into
such contracts of reinsurance.

               (c) In addition, Financial Security shall be entitled to assign
or pledge to any bank or other lender providing liquidity or credit with respect
to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements or this Agreement
or the obligations of Financial Security in connection therewith any rights of
Financial Security under the Transaction Agreements or this Agreement or with
respect to any real or personal property or other interests pledged to Financial
Security, or in which Financial Security has a security interest, in connection
with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements or this
Agreement; provided that Financial Security shall reimburse WFAL, WFSRC or WFS,
as the case may be, for any expense incurred by either such Western Entity in
connection with the making by Financial Security of any such assignment or
pledge.

               (d) Except as provided herein with respect to participants and
reinsurers, nothing in this Agreement shall confer any right, remedy or claim,
express or implied, upon any Person, including, particularly, any Noteholder or
Certificateholder, other than Financial Security, against WFAL, WFSRC or WFS,
and all the terms, covenants, conditions, promises and agreements contained
herein shall be for



                                       47
<PAGE>   48

the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their successors
and permitted assigns. Neither the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee nor
any Noteholder or Certificateholder shall have any right to payment from any
premiums paid or payable hereunder or from any other amounts paid by WFAL, WFSRC
or WFS pursuant to Section 3.03 or 3.04 hereof.

               Section 8.07. Consent of Financial Security. In the event that
Financial Security's consent is required under the terms hereof, or under the
terms of any other Transaction Agreement, it is understood and agreed that,
except as otherwise provided expressly herein or in any other Transaction
Agreement, the determination whether to grant or withhold such consent shall be
made solely by Financial Security in its absolute discretion.

               Section 8.08. Right to Enforce Sale and Servicing Agreement. The
parties hereto acknowledge that Financial Security is a beneficiary of the Sale
and Servicing Agreement, and without limiting or restricting any of the

the provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement to the extent that it could
if it were a signatory of such agreement.

               Section 8.09. WFS as Party Only for Certain Provisions.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the
parties hereto agree that WFS is joined as a party to this Agreement solely for
purposes of Sections 2.06, 2.11, 3.02, 3.06, 3.07, 3.08, 3.09, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12
and 6.13 of this Agreement and the other Sections contained in Article VII of
this Agreement.

               Section 8.10. Severability. In the event that any provision of
this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent
jurisdiction, the parties hereto agree that such holding shall not invalidate or
render unenforceable any other provision hereof. The parties hereto further
agree that the holding by any court of competent jurisdiction that any remedy
pursued by Financial Security hereunder is unavailable or unenforceable shall
not affect in any way the ability of Financial Security to pursue any other
remedy available to it.

               Section 8.11. Reports. Any report, certificate, statement or
notice which WFAL, WFSRC, WFS as the Master Servicer, and any successor Master
Servicer, is required to provide to the Owner Trustee, Indenture Trustee,
Noteholders or the Certificateholders under the Sale and Servicing Agreement
shall also be provided to Financial Security within the same time period
specified in the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

               Section 8.12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in

AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE

the table of contents contained in this Agreement are provided for convenience
only. They form no part of this Agreement and shall not affect its construction
or interpretation. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to articles and
sections in this Agreement refer to the corresponding articles and sections of
this Agreement.

               Section 8.15. Trial by Jury Waived. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY
WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN
RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OUT OF, UNDER OR IN
CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED THEREUNDER. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES

EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT IT WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO
ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO
ENTER INTO THE TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY BY, AMONG OTHER
THINGS, THIS WAIVER.

               Section 8.16. Limited Liability. No recourse under any
Transaction Agreement shall be had against, and no personal liability shall

party hereto, as such, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or
equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise in respect of any of
the Transaction Agreements, the Notes, the Certificates or the Policy, it being
expressly agreed and understood that each Transaction Agreement is solely a
corporate obligation of each party hereto, and that any and all personal

expressly waived as a condition of and in consideration for the execution and
delivery of this Agreement.

               Section 8.17. Limited Liability of Chase Manhattan Bank Delaware.
It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that (a) this
Agreement is executed and delivered by Chase Manhattan Bank Delaware not
individually or personally but solely as Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust,
(b) each of the representations, undertakings and agreements herein made on the
part of the Trust is made and intended not as personal representations,
undertakings and agreements by Chase Manhattan Bank Delaware, but are made and
intended for the purpose of binding only the Trust Estate, (c) nothing herein
contained shall be construed as creating any liability on Chase Manhattan Bank
Delaware, individually or personally, to perform any covenant of the Trust
either expressed or implied contained herein, all such liability, if any, being
expressly waived by the parties hereto and by any person claiming by, through or
under such parties and (d) under no circumstances shall Chase Manhattan Bank
Delaware be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of
the Trust or be liable for the breach or failure of any obligation,
representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the Trust under this
Agreement.

               Section 8.18. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Policy set
