               WFSRC is the owner of the Contracts. WFSRC proposes to pledge and
assign to the Trust all of its right, title and interest in and to the Contracts
and certain other property pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The
Trust will issue Certificates pursuant to the Trust Agreement, and the Notes
pursuant to the Indenture.

               Each Certificate will represent a fractional undivided interest
in the Trust. Each Note will be secured by the Indenture Property.

               The Seller has agreed to convey a security interest in the
Collateral and all the property conveyed by it to the Trust (with the exception
of the Policy) pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement in favor of
Financial Security prior in right to all liens, claims, rights or interests
other than those of the Trust.

               The Trust has requested that Financial Security issue the Policy
to the Indenture Trustee to guarantee payment of the Scheduled Payments (as
defined in such Policy) on each Distribution Date in respect of the Notes.

               Financial Security is willing to issue the Policy for the purpose
stated above if the Trust, the Seller, WFS and the Indenture Trustee enter into
this Agreement and, in order to secure the Seller's obligations hereunder, the
Seller pledges the Collateral to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of
Financial Security, subject to the provisions hereof.

               The parties hereto desire to specify the indemnity and
reimbursement obligations to be provided in respect of amounts paid by Financial
Security under the Policy, the security to be provided in respect of such
indemnity and reimbursement obligations, and certain other matters.

Transaction Agreement unenforceable in any respect or would otherwise have a
material adverse effect upon the Trust; the Trust holds all material licenses,

conduct of its business as presently conducted.

               (b) Power and Authority. The Trust has all necessary trust power

further installments of the Premium, all in accordance with the terms of the
letter agreement between the Seller and Financial Security referred to in the

prepayment or early retirement of the Notes or the Certificates occur or any
other circumstances occur relating to the Notes or the Certificates.

        and any and all reasonable charges and expenses which Financial Security
        may pay or incur relating to any payment under the Policy, including,
        but not limited to, any fees and charges in connection with any accounts

        any amount is paid by Financial Security under the Policy;

                      (iii) the amount of any reasonable costs or expenses

        to the Owner Trustee pursuant to, Section 8.02 of the Trust Agreement
        and (ii) the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.07 of the Indenture
        to the extent that such amounts shall not have been paid by the Trust

        payable in respect of the gross income of Financial Security) or other
        governmental charge imposed in connection with the issuance of the
        Policy or the business or operations of the Seller including, without
        limitation, by reason of the Seller being deemed to do business in the
        State of California;

                      (vi) Financial Security's cost of providing to the Seller

        fees payable, in the sole discretion of Financial Security, to third
        parties in connection with the transaction, to the extent (in each case)
        that such payment occurs following (i) the occurrence of an Event of
        Default (or event or circumstance that, with the giving of notice or the
        passage 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

        case, payable at the Late Payment Rate.

               (b) All amounts to be paid by the Trust 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.

<PAGE>

are solely the corporate obligations of WFSRC, and shall be payable by WFSRC,
solely as provided in Section 3.04(a). WFSRC shall only be required to pay (a)
any fees, expenses, indemnities or other liabilities that it may incur under
Section 3.04(a) (i) from funds available pursuant to, and in accordance with,
the payment priorities set forth in Section 5.05 of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement and (ii) to the extent WFSRC has additional funds available (other
than funds described in the preceding clause (i)) that would be in excess of
amounts that would be necessary to pay the debt and other obligations of WFSRC
incurred in accordance with WFSRC's certificate of incorporation and all
financing documents to which WFSRC is a party and (b) any expenses, indemnities
or other liabilities that it may incur under Section 3.04(a) (i) from funds
available pursuant to, and in accordance with, the payment priorities set forth
in Section 5.05 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and (ii) only to the extent
it receives additional funds designated for such purposes or to the extent it

certificate of incorporation and all financing documents to which WFSRC is a
party. In addition, no amount owing by 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, WFSRC arising out of or based upon Section 3.04(a), against any
stockholder, employee, officer, agent, director or authorized person of 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.

        or delivery of the Notes or the Certificates other than by reason of
        false or misleading Financial Security Information;

                      (iii) the misfeasance or malfeasance of, or theft
        committed by, any director, officer, employee or agent of WFS;

                      (iv) the violation by WFS or any Affiliate (other than

        antitrust laws, rules or regulations in connection with the issuance,

        contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements;

                      (v) the violation by WFS or any Affiliate (other than
        Westcorp) thereof of any federal or state laws, rules or regulations
        relating to the

<PAGE>

        maximum amount of interest permitted to be received on account of the
        loan of money or with respect to the Contracts;

                      (vi) the negligence or willful misconduct of WFS or any of
        their respective directors, officers, employees or agents;

                      (vii) the breach by WFS of its obligations under this
        Agreement or any of the other Transaction Agreements;

                      (viii) the breach by WFS of any representation or warranty
        on the part of WFS contained in or incorporated by reference in this
        Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement or in any certificate
        furnished or delivered to Financial Security hereunder and thereunder;

                      (ix) the use, ownership or operation by WFS, or any
        Affiliate thereof (other than Westcorp), of a Financed Vehicle; and

                      (x) the violation by WFSRC or the Trust of any of the
        provisions of (a) above caused by or at the direction of WFS.

               (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 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



                                       33
<PAGE>

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) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, the obligations of WFSRC under this Section 3.06 are solely the
corporate obligations of WFSRC, and shall be payable by WFSRC, solely as
provided in this Section 3.06. WFSRC shall only be required to pay (a) any fees,
expenses, indemnities or other liabilities that it may incur under this Section
3.06 (i) from funds available pursuant to, and in accordance with, the payment
priorities set forth in Section 5.05 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and
(ii) to the extent WFSRC has additional funds available (other than funds
described in the preceding clause (i)) that would be in excess of amounts that
would be necessary to pay the debt and other obligations of WFSRC incurred in
accordance with WFSRC's certificate of incorporation and all financing documents
to which WFSRC is a party and (b) any expenses, indemnities or other liabilities
that it may incur under this Section 3.06 (i) from funds available pursuant to,
and in accordance with, the payment priorities set forth in Section 5.05 of the
Sale and Servicing Agreement and (ii) 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 (i)) that would be
in excess of amounts that would be necessary to pay the debt and other
obligations of WFSRC incurred in accordance with WFSRC's certificate of
incorporation and all financing documents to which WFSRC is a party. The
agreement set forth in the preceding sentence shall constitute a subordination
agreement for purposes of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. In addition, no
amount owing by 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, WFSRC arising out of
or based upon this Section 3.06, against any stockholder, employee, officer,
agent, director or authorized person of 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.

Agreement under all circumstances whatsoever, including, without limitation, the

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 WFSRC, or, indirectly, WFS, to receive the
proceeds of the sale of the Notes; 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

or materials provided by Financial Security in connection with the issuance of
the Notes and the Certificates except 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.

respect to, or related to, any Transaction Agreements and this Agreement whether

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
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

definition of "Premium" set forth herein, plus rating agency fees, to the extent
paid by Financial Security.

               Section 4.01. Obligations Secured Hereby. The agreements
contained in this Article IV are made to provide for and secure repayment of the
following indebtedness and liabilities of WFSRC (such indebtedness and
liabilities being herein called the "Obligations") in the order of priority
indicated:



                                       37
<PAGE>

                      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 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
        WFSRC, and

                      Second, (i) the repayment of all amounts advanced or paid
        by Financial Security under the Policy pursuant to this Agreement and
        (ii) the payment of any accrued but unpaid installments of the Premium
        and all costs and expenses at any time and from time to time incurred by
        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. 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 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



                                       38
<PAGE>

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 assignments 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 and the
Collateral Agent of a Certificate of the Seller that the conditions set forth in
Section 3.10, with respect to the Optional Repurchase under such Section 3.10
and Section 9.01 with respect to the Optional Purchase under that Section 9.01,
in each case, of the Sale and Servicing Agreement have been satisfied.

                            INTERCREDITOR PROVISIONS

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

               (a) So long as no Insurer Insolvency has occurred and no Insurer
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 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 WFSRC on behalf of the Noteholders and the
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



                                       39
<PAGE>

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
Insurer Insolvency has occurred and no Insurer 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 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 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 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 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
Noteholders. 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.

                         THE COLLATERAL AGENT; REMEDIES

               Section 6.01. Appointment and Powers of Collateral Agent.
Financial Security hereby appoints Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as the
Collateral Agent, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas 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 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
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 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 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 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



                                       41
<PAGE>

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 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.

               (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



                                       42
<PAGE>

        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, 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.

               Section 6.04. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws; Marshalling of
Assets. Each of 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 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



                                       43
<PAGE>

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 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 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
Insurer Insolvency has occurred and no Insurer Default has occurred and is
continuing, Financial Security shall, upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of any of the Servicer Defaults 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, and certain amounts



                                       44
<PAGE>

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 and the Spread 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 and the Spread 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



                                       45
<PAGE>

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) The 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 the Seller, all in
such manner and in such places as may be required by law (whether in the event
of a change of the Seller's name, identity or corporate structure, or otherwise)
fully to preserve, maintain, and protect the interest of Financial Security in
the Collateral. The 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. Furthermore, to
effectuate the provisions and purposes of this Agreement, including for the
purpose of perfecting the security interest granted hereunder, the Trust, WFS
and the Seller, respectively, hereby authorize the filing by Financial Security,
on or prior to the Closing Date and any subsequent Closing Dates, an appropriate
Uniform Commercial Code financing statement in California in form sufficient to
assure that the Collateral Agent, as agent for Financial Security, has a first
priority perfected security interest in all Collateral which can be perfected by
the filing of a financing statement.

               (b) The Seller shall not change its name, identity, or corporate
structure in any manner that would, could, or might make any financing statement
or continuation statement filed by the Seller, in accordance with paragraph (a)
above, seriously misleading within the meaning of Section 9-507(c) of the UCC,
unless it shall have given the Collateral Agent and Financial Security at least
60 days' prior written notice thereof.

               (c) The Seller shall give Financial Security at least 60 days'
prior written notice of any relocation of the 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) The 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 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.



                                       46
<PAGE>

               (e) In the event that either the Master Servicer 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) WFSRC shall be obligated 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, WFSRC, or
WFS under any of the Transaction Agreements, or in any certificate or report
furnished under any of the Transaction 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, 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); (ii) the Trust, WFSRC or WFS
shall have asserted that any of the Transaction Agreements to which it is a
party is not valid and binding on



                                       47
<PAGE>

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, 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 given to the
Trust and WFSRC; 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

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 (v) of Section 5.05(a) of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement; and



                                       48
<PAGE>

               (i) the Trust, WFSRC or WFS shall fail to deliver to Financial
Security within 30 days of the Closing Date an "agreed upon procedures" letter
in a form acceptable to Financial Security from a firm of nationally-recognized
independent certified public accountants with respect to the Contracts that were
not included in the "agreed upon procedures" letter dated as of the Statistical
Calculation Date.

               Section 7.02. Remedies; Waivers.

               (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, 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 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

interest in the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement, subject to the
Intercreditor Agreement. 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 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 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 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 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 WFSRC or WFS, and all
the terms, covenants, conditions, promises and agreements contained herein shall
be for 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 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.

parties hereto acknowledge that Financial Security is a beneficiary of the Sale

the provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement to the extent that it could

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 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 8.15. 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

<PAGE>

NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY PARTY HERETO HAS REPRESENTED,
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
attach to, any officer, employee, director, affiliate or shareholder of any
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
liability, either in common law or in equity, or by statute or constitution, of
every such officer, employee, director, affiliate or shareholder for breaches by
any party hereto of any obligations under any Transaction Agreement is hereby
expressly waived as a condition of and in consideration for the execution and
delivery of this Agreement.

               Section 8.17. Limited Recourse. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, the obligations of WFSRC under Sections
2.08(i), 3.04, 3.06 and 3.09 are solely the corporate obligations of WFSRC, and
shall be payable by WFSRC solely as provided in Sections 2.08(i), 3.04, 3.06 and
3.09. WFSRC shall only be required to pay (i) any fees, expenses, indemnities or
other liabilities that it may incur under Sections 2.08(i), 3.04, 3.06 or 3.09,
as applicable, (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 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 Sections 2.08(i), 3.04, 3.06 or 3.09, as applicable, (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 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, WFSRC arising out of or based upon Sections 2.08(i), 3.04, 3.06
or 3.09, as applicable, against any stockholder, employee, officer, agent,
director or authorized person of the 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.
