exercised jurisdiction to the effect that (x) the Holder is required to return
payments of principal of or interest paid on the Obligations or (y) the
Indenture Trustee is required to return payments of the RIC Payment Amount or
the Supplemental RIC Payment Amount paid under the RIC, during (in each case)
the Term of this Policy because such distributions or payments were avoidable as

that the Order has been entered and is not subject to any stay and (C) an

Indenture Trustee irrevocably assigning to Financial Security all rights and
claims of the Indenture Trustee relating to or arising under the RIC, to the

payment or (ii) the date of Receipt by Financial Security from the Indenture
Trustee of the items referred to in clauses (A), (B) and (C) above if, at least
four Business Days prior to such date of Receipt, Financial Security shall have
Received written notice from the Indenture Trustee that such items were to be
delivered on such date and such date was specified in such notice. Such payment

Trustee or any Holder directly (unless a Holder (or, in the case of the RIC, the
Indenture Trustee) has previously paid such amount to the receiver, conservator,
debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy named in the Order, in which case

such Holder (or, in the case of the RIC, for application in accordance with the
Sale and Servicing Agreement) upon proof of such payment reasonably satisfactory
to Financial Security). In connection with the foregoing, Financial Security

the benefit of each Holder, all rights (whether by counterclaim, set-off or
otherwise) and defenses (including, without limitation, the defense of fraud),
whether acquired by subrogation, assignment or otherwise, to the extent that

Attention:  Senior Vice President

               Re:    WFS Financial ______Owner Trust

               The undersigned, a duly authorized officer of Bankers Trust
Company (the "Indenture Trustee"), hereby certifies to Financial Security
Assurance Inc. ("Financial Security"), with reference to Financial Guaranty
Insurance Policy No. _________ dated _______________ (the "Policy") issued by
Financial Security in respect of the $_______________ ____% Auto Receivable
Backed Notes, Class A-1, $_______________ ___% Auto Receivable Backed Notes,
Class A-2, $_______________ ____% Auto Receivable Backed Notes, Class A-3, and
$_______________ ____% Auto Receivable Backed Notes, Class A-4, (collectively,
the "Obligations") that:

               (i) The Indenture Trustee is the Indenture Trustee under the
        Indenture for the Holders.

               (ii) the sum of all amounts on deposit (or scheduled to be on
        deposit) in the Collection Account and Spread Account and available for
        application in accordance with the Sale and Servicing Agreement will be
        $_________ (the "RIC Shortfall") less than the Guaranteed RIC Payment.
        Of such RIC Shortfall, $__________ is attributable to the Guaranteed RIC
        Payment amount to be paid to the Indenture Trustee for deposit into the
        Collection Account and $__________ is attributable to Guaranteed RIC
        Payment amount to be paid to the Indenture Trustee as collateral agent
        for deposit into the Spread Account.

               (iii) The sum of all amounts on deposit (or scheduled to be on
        deposit) in the Note Distribution Account and available for distribution
        to the Holders pursuant to the Indenture will be $ (the "Note
        Shortfall") less than the aggregate amount of Scheduled Payments with
        respect to [DISTRIBUTION DATE]. Of such Note Shortfall, $__________ is
        attributable to Scheduled Payments to be made to Holders of the
        Obligations.

               (iv) The Indenture Trustee is making a claim under the Policy
        [(i) for the RIC Shortfall to be applied to payment of the Guaranteed
        RIC Payment and (ii)] for the Note



<PAGE>   8

        Shortfall to be applied to distributions of principal or interest or
        both with respect to the Obligations.

               (v) The Indenture Trustee agrees that, following receipt of funds
        from Financial Security, it shall (a) hold such amounts in trust and
        apply the same directly to the payment of Guaranteed Payments; (b) not
        apply such funds for any other purpose; (c) not commingle such funds
        with other funds held by the Indenture Trustee; and (d) maintain an
        accurate record of such payments with respect to each Obligation and
        with respect to the RIC and the corresponding claim on the Policy and
        proceeds thereof and, if the Obligation is required to be surrendered or
        presented for such payment, shall stamp on each such Obligation the
        legend $"[insert applicable amount] paid by Financial Security and the
        balance hereof has been cancelled and reissued" and then shall deliver
        such Obligation to Financial Security.

               (vi) The Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Holders, hereby
        assigns to Financial Security the rights of the Holders with respect to
        the Obligations to the extent of any payments under the Policy,
        including, without limitation, any amounts due to the Holders in respect
        of securities law violations arising from the offer and sale of the
        Obligations and any amounts due and owing but unpaid under the RIC. The
        foregoing assignment is in addition to, and not in limitation of, rights
        of subrogation otherwise available to Financial Security in respect of
        such payments. Payments to Financial Security in respect of the
        foregoing assignment shall in all cases be subject to and subordinate to
        the rights of the Holders to receive all Guaranteed Payments in respect
        of the Obligations. The Indenture Trustee shall take such action and
        deliver such instruments as may be reasonably requested or required by
        Financial Security to effectuate the purpose or provisions of this
        clause (vi).

               (vii) The Indenture Trustee, on its behalf and on behalf of the
        Holders, hereby appoints Financial Security as agent and
        attorney-in-fact for the Indenture Trustee and each such Holder in any
        legal proceeding with respect to the Obligations. The Indenture Trustee
        hereby agrees that Financial Security may at any time during the
        continuation of any proceeding by or against any debtor with respect to
        which a preference claim (as defined below) or other claim with respect
        to the Obligations or the RIC is being asserted under the United States
        Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
        receivership, rehabilitation or similar law (an "Insolvency Proceeding")
        direct all matters relating to such Insolvency Proceeding, including
        without limitation, (A) all matters relating to any claim in connection
        with an Insolvency Proceeding seeking the avoidance as a preferential
        transfer of any payment made with respect to the Obligations or the RIC
        (a "Preference Claim"), (B) the direction of any appeal of any order
        relating to any Preference Claim at the expense of Financial Security
        but subject to reimbursement as provided in the Insurance Agreement and
        (C) the posting of any surety, supersedeas or performance bond pending
        any such appeal. In addition, the Indenture Trustee hereby agrees that
        Financial Security shall be subrogated to, and the Indenture Trustee on
        its behalf and on behalf of each Holder, hereby delegates and assigns,
        to the fullest extent permitted by law, the rights of the Indenture
        Trustee and each Holder in the conduct of any Insolvency Proceeding,
        including, without limitation, all



                                       2

        rights of any party to an adversary proceeding or action with respect to
        any court order issued in connection with any such Insolvency
        Proceeding.

               (viii) Payment should be made by wire transfer directed to

in this Certificate of Claim shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the
Policy, including in the Endorsement thereto.
